Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This opinion is furnished to you in connection with a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) being filed by Pluri Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for the registration of the sale from time to time of up to $200,000,000 aggregate maximum offering price of: (i) common shares of the Company, $0.00001 par value per share, (the “Shares”), (ii) warrants to purchase Shares (the “Warrants”), (iii) shares of preferred stock (the “Preferred Shares,” and, with the Shares and the Warrants, the “Securities”) and (iv) units of two or more of the Securities (the “Units”), all of which may be issued from time to time on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.

 

We are acting as counsel for the Company in connection with the Registration Statement. We have examined signed copies of the Registration Statement and have also examined and relied upon minutes of meetings of the Board of Directors of the Company as provided to us by the Company, the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company, each as restated and/or amended to date (collectively the “Charter Documents”), and such other documents as we have deemed necessary for purposes of rendering the opinions hereinafter set forth.

 

In our examination of the foregoing documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents and the legal competence of all signatories to such documents. Other than our examination of the documents indicated above, we have made no other examination in connection with this opinion.

 

The opinions rendered herein are limited to the Nevada Revised State Statutes and the federal laws of the United States. For purposes of our opinion, we have examined an official compilation of “Title 7 - Business Associations; Securities; Commodities, Chapter - 78 - Private Corporations” of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Such examination was limited to the provisions of such statute only, and did not include any annotations or commentary related thereto. We do not purport to be experts on the laws of the State of Nevada and our opinion is based upon such limited experience.

 

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations set forth hereinafter, we are of the opinion that:
