Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to PolarityTE, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “you”), and have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on or about May 29, 2018, in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of 7,300,000 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”), issuable under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”).

 

In connection herewith, we have examined the Plan and the Registration Statement. We have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws and such other corporate records, agreements and instruments of the Company, and certificates of public officials and officers of the Company, and we have made such legal and factual inquiries, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for us to render the opinion hereinafter expressed. In our examination of the foregoing, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal competence and capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies or by facsimile or other means of electronic transmission, or which we obtained from the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (“Edgar”) or other sites maintained by a court or governmental authority or regulatory body and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. If any documents we examined in printed, word processed or similar form has been filed with the Commission on Edgar or such court or governmental authority or regulatory body, we have assumed that the document so filed is identical to the document we examined except for formatting changes.

 

When relevant facts were not independently established, we have relied without independent investigation as to matters of fact upon statements of governmental officials and upon representations made in or pursuant to the Registration Statement and certificates or statements of appropriate representatives of the Company.
