We have acted as special Ohio counsel for Transcat, Inc. (the “Company”) in connection with the registration of 110,526 shares (the “Option Shares”) of common stock, $0.50 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-250135) which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on November 17, 2020 (the “Original Registration Statement”) and a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-274611) which was filed with the Commission on September 20, 2023 (the “Additional Registration Statement” and, together with the Original Registration Statement, the “Registration Statement”). The Additional Registration Statement was filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Additional Registration Statement incorporates by reference the Original Registration Statement.
The Option Shares are being offered pursuant to the prospectus accompanying the Registration Statement, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement relating to the Option Shares dated September 21, 2023 (the prospectus, the prospectus supplement and any amendments thereto, collectively, the “Prospectus”). The Registration Statement and the Prospectus were filed under the Securities Act. Terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Registration Statement.
We have examined or are otherwise familiar with the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, the Company’s Code of Regulations, as amended, the Registration Statement, and such other documents, records and instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Option Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued by the Company and, when delivered and paid for in the manner contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement, dated September 21, 2023 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), by and between the Company and Oppenheimer & Co. Inc., will be fully paid and non-assessable.
We are attorneys licensed to practice law in the State of Ohio. The opinion expressed herein is limited solely to the federal laws of the United States of America and
