We have acted as U.S. counsel to BriaCell Therapeutics Corp., a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (the “Company”). This opinion is furnished to you in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (such registration statement, as amended through the date hereof, the “Registration Statement”) and the prospectus forming part of the registration statement (“Prospectus”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the proposed offer and sale by the Company (the “Offering”) of (i) units (the “Units”), with each Unit consisting of (a) one common share and (b) one warrant to purchase one common share (the “Warrants”), (ii) pre-funded units (the “Pre-funded Units”), with each Pre-funded Unit consisting of (a) one pre-funded warrant to purchase one common share (the “Pre-funded Warrants”) and (b) one Warrant, and (iii) Warrants to purchase a number of common shares equal to 5% of the aggregate number of common shares and Pre-funded Warrants (the “Underwriter Warrants” and, together with the Units, the Pre-funded Units, the Warrants, the Pre-funded Warrants and the common shares included in the Units and underlying the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Securities”) issuable to the Underwriter (as defined below). The Company shall engage ThinkEquity LLC to act as the representative of the underwriters (the “Underwriter”) in this offering pursuant to the terms of an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”).

 

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

 

In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records of the Company and such agreements, certificates and statements of public officials, certificates of officers or representatives of the Company, and such other documents, certificates and records as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinion set forth herein. In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, 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 certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of all originals of such latter documents. In making our examination of the documents executed by the parties, we have assumed that such parties had the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, and execution and delivery by such parties of such documents and the validity and binding effect thereof. In addition, we have assumed that when issued and paid for pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Securities will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Except as expressly set forth herein, we have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of facts material to the opinions expressed herein and no inference as to our knowledge concerning such facts should be drawn from the fact that such representation has been relied upon by us in connection with the preparation and delivery of this opinion. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein which were not independently established or verified, we have relied upon oral or written statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others, including those set forth in the Underwriting Agreement.
