Re:       FG Merger II Corp. Registration Statement on Form S-1

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

FG Merger II Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The Registration Statement relates to the underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) by the Company of up to 9,200,000 units of the Company (the “Units”) (including up to 1,200,000 Units subject to the Underwriters’ (as defined below) option to purchase additional Units), each Unit consisting of:

 

(i) one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock,” and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Units, the “Shares”), for an aggregate of up to 9,200,000 Shares (including up to 1,200,000 Shares included in the Units subject to the Underwriters’ option to purchase additional Units); and

 

(ii) one right (each, a “Right” and, collectively, the “Rights”) to receive one-twentieth (1/20) of a share of Common Stock upon the consummation by the Company of a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses (each, a “Business Combination”), pursuant to the terms of an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) to be executed by the Company and ThinkEquity LLC, as representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”).

 

We have acted as special Nevada counsel to the Company. This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act.

 

We have examined (a) the Articles of Incorporation of the Company in effect as of the date hereof, together with all amendments thereto (collectively, the “Existing Charter”), and (b) the form of Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada prior to the sale of any Units (which will amend and restate the Existing Charter upon such filing by the Company), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 27, 2023, and attached as Exhibit 3.4 to the Registration Statement (the “New Charter”). We have also examined copies of such corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments of the Company and other certificates and documents of officials of the Company, public officials, and others, as we have deemed appropriate for purposes of this letter. We have assumed for purposes of this opinion: (a) information contained in documents reviewed by us is true, complete and correct; (b) the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures on original documents; (c) the accuracy and completeness of all documents delivered to us and the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; (d) the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; (e) the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of certificates of public officials; (f) the legal capacity of all natural persons; and (g) the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by the parties thereto. We have also assumed that (x) upon sale and delivery of the Shares, the certificates representing such Shares, will conform to the specimens thereof filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement and will have been duly countersigned by the transfer agent and duly registered by the registrar or, if uncertificated, valid book-entry notations for the issuance of the Shares in uncertificated form will have been duly made in the register of the Company, and (y) the Underwriting Agreement described in the Registration Statement shall have been duly executed and delivered. In addition, in providing the opinions herein, we have relied, with respect to matters related to the Company’s existence, upon the certificates referenced above.
