Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to RumbleOn, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), with respect to certain legal matters in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The Registration Statement includes a base prospectus (the “Base Prospectus”) that provides it will be supplemented in the future, if required, by one or more prospectus supplements (each, a “Prospectus Supplement”). The Registration Statement, including the Base Prospectus (as supplemented from time to time, if required, by one or more Prospectus Supplements), relates to the proposed offer and sale, from time to time, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act, of up to $250,000,000 in aggregate amount of one or more series of (i) shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”); (ii) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Preferred Stock”); (iii) debt securities of the Company (the “Debt Securities”); (iv) warrants to purchase Common Stock, Preferred Stock, Debt Securities, or any combination thereof (the “Warrants”); (v) units consisting of Common Stock, Preferred Stock, Debt Securities, Warrants, and Rights (as defined below) or any combination thereof (the “Units”); and (vi) rights to purchase Common Stock (the “Rights”). The Common Stock, Preferred Stock, Debt Securities, Warrants, Units, and Rights are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.” At your request, this opinion is being furnished to you for filing as Exhibit 5.2 to the Registration Statement.

 

Each series of senior Debt Securities to be issued under the Registration Statement will be governed by an indenture, substantially in the form filed as Exhibit 4.4 to the Registration Statement, to be entered into by the Company, as issuer, and the trustee thereunder (as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Senior Base Indenture”). Each series of subordinated Debt Securities will be issued pursuant to an indenture, substantially in the form filed as Exhibit 4.5 to the Registration Statement, to be entered into by the Company, as issuer, and the trustee thereunder (as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Subordinated Base Indenture” and, together with the Senior Base Indenture, the “Indentures”). Each applicable Indenture will be supplemented, in connection with the issuance of any series of Debt Securities, by a supplemental indenture, officers’ certificate or other writing thereunder (each, a “Supplemental Indenture Document”), by and among the Company and the trustee thereunder, establishing the form and terms of such series of Debt Securities.

 

 

 

 

 

 

RumbleOn, Inc. - 2 - August 30, 2024

 

Any Warrants, Units or Rights to be issued under the Registration Statement will be issued pursuant to a warrant agreement, unit agreement, rights agreement or similar agreement or instrument to be entered into between the Company and one or more third parties.

 

In our capacity as your counsel in the connection referred to above and as a basis for the opinions herein after expressed, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified, of (i) the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, each as amended to date (together, the “Charter Documents”), (ii) the Indentures, (iii) corporate records of the Company, (iv) the Registration Statement, including the Base Prospectus contained therein relating to the Securities, (v) certificates of public officials and of officers and other representatives of the Company and (vi) statutes and such other records, certificates, documents and instruments as we have deemed necessary or advisable as a basis for giving the opinions set forth below.
