We refer to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act of 1933, (the “Registration Statement”), filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 19, 2024 (as it may be amended, the “Registration Statement”).

We expressly disclaim any obligation to update our opinions herein, regardless of whether changes in the facts or laws upon which this opinion are based come to our attention after the date hereof.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and the reference to our firm in the Prospectus in the Registration Statement under the caption “Legal Matters.” In providing this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder, including Item 509 of Regulation S-K.
