We have acted as counsel to SmileDirectClub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Company’s issuance of 600,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), pursuant to (i) that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated April 12, 2023 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and a certain investor (the “Purchaser”), (ii) certain agreements between the Company and the Purchaser related to the purchase by the Company of certain assets of the Purchaser (collectively with the Stock Purchase Agreement, the “Transaction Documents”), and (iii) the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-267370), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on September 9, 2022 (the “Registration Statement”) and which became effective on October 4, 2022, the base prospectus filed as part of the Registration Statement, dated October 4, 2022 (the “Base Prospectus”), and the final prospectus supplement dated April 13, 2023 (together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”).
In connection with our representation, we have examined: (i) the Transaction Documents, (ii) the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, (iii) the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, (iv) the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, and (v) the proceedings and actions taken by the Board of Directors of the Company to authorize and approve the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, and the issuance of the Shares (the “Board Resolutions”). We have also considered such matters of law and of fact, including the examination of originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records and documents of the Company, certificates of officers, directors and representatives of the Company, certificates of public officials, and such other documents as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth below. In our examination of the above-referenced documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents, records, certificates, and instruments submitted to us as originals and the conformity with the originals of all documents, records, certificates, and instruments submitted to us as copies.
