Re:          Registration Statement No. 333-213894 on Form S-3; Public Offering of Shares of Common Stock of Teladoc, Inc.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as special counsel to Teladoc, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the proposed issuance of 7,887,500 shares (the “Company Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), by the Company and the sale of 1,600,000 shares (the “Selling Stockholder Shares” and, together with the Company Shares, the “Shares”) of Common Stock by certain stockholders of the Company. The Shares are included in a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on September 30, 2016 (Registration No. 333-213894) (as so filed and as amended, the “Registration Statement”), including a base prospectus dated October 5, 2016 (the “Base Prospectus”) and a prospectus supplement dated January 18, 2017 (together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”), and are to be sold pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated January 18, 2017, among the Company, the selling stockholders named therein and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Piper Jaffray & Co. LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriting Agreement”).

 

This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issue of the Shares.

 

As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter. With your consent, we have relied upon certificates and other assurances of officers of the Company and others as to factual matters without having independently verified such factual matters. We are opining herein as to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction or, in the case of Delaware, any other laws, or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any local agencies within any state.

 

Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Company Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company and, when the Company Shares have been duly registered on the books of the transfer agent and registrar therefor in the name or on behalf of the purchasers, and have been issued by the Company against payment therefor (not less than par value) in the circumstances contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, the Company Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. In rendering the foregoing opinion, we have assumed that the Company will comply with all applicable notice requirements regarding uncertificated shares provided in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

 

This opinion is for your benefit in connection with the Registration Statement and may be relied upon by you and by persons entitled to rely upon it pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Act. We consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 8-K dated January 24, 2017 and to the reference to our firm contained in the Prospectus under the heading “Legal Matters.” In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

 

 

 

Very truly yours,
