Re: Registration Statement on Form S-8

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to Vislink Technologies, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”), in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) of the issuance from time to time of 239,134 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), pursuant to the Company’s 2013 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2013 Plan”) on a Registration Statement on Form S-8 being filed on the date hereof by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act (such registration statement, as it may be amended, the “Registration Statement”).

 

We are delivering this opinion to you in accordance with your request and in accordance with the requirements of Item 8 of Form S-8 and Item 601(b)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K.

 

In connection with rendering this opinion, we have examined originals, certified copies or copies otherwise identified as being true copies of the following:

 

  1. the Registration Statement, together with the exhibits filed as a part thereof and including any documents incorporated by reference therein;

 

  2. Certificate of Incorporation of the Company;

 

  3. Bylaws of the Company;

 

  4. the 2013 Plan;

 

  5. corporate resolutions and proceedings of the Company relating to its proposed issuance of the Shares; and

We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, facsimile or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.

 

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the limitations, qualifications, exceptions and assumptions expressed herein, we are of the opinion, assuming no change in the applicable law or pertinent facts and having due regard for such legal considerations as we deem relevant, that the Shares, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the 2013 Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
