Re:Flux Power Holdings, Inc. - Registration Statement on Form S-1

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as Nevada counsel to Flux Power Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) in connection with the filing by the Company of a registration statement on Form S-1 (including the preliminary prospectus which is a part thereof (the “Registration Statement”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), which relates to the offer and sale from time to time by certain selling stockholders named in the Registration Statement (the “Selling Stockholders”) of up to an aggregate of 3,644,289 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) consisting of (i) up to 2,429,523 shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) issuable upon conversion of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), issuable upon exercise of pre-funded warrants, with a per share exercise price of $0.001 (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), and (ii) up to 1,214,766 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) issuable upon the exercise of common warrants, with a per share exercise price of $1.715 (the “Common Warrants” and, together with the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “Warrants”).

 

Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act, the securities registered under the Registration Statement include such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock of the Company as may be issued or issuable because of stock splits, stock dividends, stock distributions, and similar transactions.

 

We have examined originals, or copies certified to our satisfaction, of (i) the Registration Statement, (ii) the Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement, dated September 15, 2025, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold the Warrants to the Selling Stockholders (the “SPA”), (iii) the form of the Common Warrant attached Exhibit B to the SPA and the form of the Pre-Funded Warrant attached as Exhibit C to the SPA, (iv) the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended through the date hereof (the “Articles of Incorporation”), (v) the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, as amended through the date hereof (the “Bylaws”), and (vi) such other corporate records of the Company, agreements and other instruments, certificates of public officials, certificates of officers and representatives of the Company and other documents as we have deemed it necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. The agreements, documents, certificates and instruments identified in (i) through (vi) above are referred to herein as the “Documents.” In our examination we have assumed (a) the genuineness of all signatures on the Documents, (b) the legal capacity of natural persons executing the Documents, (c) the authenticity of all Documents submitted to us as originals, (d) the conformity with the original Documents of all Documents submitted to us as copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter Documents, (e) that the parties to the Documents, other than the Company, had the power, corporate or otherwise, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder, (f) other than with respect to the Company, the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, of the Documents, (g) the execution, delivery, and performance by all parties of the Documents; and (h) that all Documents are valid, binding, and enforceable against the parties thereto. We have also assumed if any Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares are issued in certificated form, stock certificates evidencing such Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, in the form of the specimen stock certificate provided to us, will be duly executed and delivered by the authorized officers of the Company and will have been duly countersigned by the Company’s transfer agent and registrar and duly registered on the books and records of the Company by the transfer agent and registrar of the Common Stock, or if issued in uncertificated form, valid book-entry notations will be been made and duly registered on the books and records of the Company by the transfer agent and registrar, in each case, in the name or on behalf of the holders of such shares of Common Stock and in accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, each as amended and then in effect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

As to various questions of fact material to such opinions we have relied upon certifications by officers of the Company and other appropriate persons and statements contained in the Registration Statement, the SPA and the Warrants. Additionally, we have assumed that the Registration Statement, and any amendments thereto, will comply with all applicable laws at the time the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, as applicable, are offered or sold as contemplated by the Registration Statement.

 

We have further assumed that: (i) the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto, the final prospectus and any prospectus supplement thereto, will comply with all applicable laws at the time the Conversion Shares and the Warrants Shares are offered or sold as contemplated by the Registration Statement, the final prospectus and any prospectus supplement; and (ii) the Company’s business is as set forth in the Registration Statement under the heading “Our Company.”

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that:

 

1.The Conversion Shares to be sold by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the Registration Statement have been duly authorized, and when (i) the applicable shares of Series A Preferred Stock are issued and sold upon the valid exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants in accordance with their terms and conditions (including the due payment to the Company of the required exercise price therefore as specified in the Pre-Funded Warrants), and (ii) such Conversion Shares are issued and delivered upon the conversion of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of the Article VI, Section C of the Articles of Incorporation (Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock), such Conversion Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

2.The Warrant Shares to be sold by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to the Registration Statement have been duly authorized and when the applicable Warrant Shares are issued and sold upon the valid exercise of the Common Warrants in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Common Warrants (including the due payment to the Company of the required exercise price therefore as specified in the Common Warrants), such Warrant Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
