Re: | Exhibit 5.1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to The Lovesac Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the registration of the offer and sale by the Company of up to 750,000 shares (the “Primary Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and the secondary offering (the “Secondary Offering” and together with the Primary Offering, the “Offering”) by certain selling stockholders of the Company (the “Selling Stockholders”) of up to 1,750,000 shares (the “Secondary Shares” and together with the Primary Shares, the “Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock. The Shares are included in a registration statement on Form S–1 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 20, 2019 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”). All of the Shares are to be sold pursuant to the proposed form of Underwriting Agreement among the Company, the selling stockholders and the representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriting Agreement”) filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Registration Statement.
As counsel for the Company, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of rendering this opinion and we are familiar with the proceedings taken and proposed to be taken by the Company in with the authorization, issuance and sale of the Primary Shares. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. This opinion letter is given, and all statements herein are made, in the context of the foregoing.
