Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as Israeli counsel to CollPlant Holdings Ltd., (the “Company”), an Israeli company, in connection with the registration by the Company of (i) an aggregate of 3,500,000 American Depositary Shares (the “Initial ADSs”), each representing fifty (50) ordinary shares, NIS 0.03 par value per share of the Company, and (ii) at the option of the Underwriters, the issue and sale to the Underwriters of an additional 525,000 ADSs to cover over-allotments, if any (together with the Initial ADSs, the “Securities”).  The Securities are being registered by the Company in connection with an underwritten public offering of the Company (the “Offering”). This opinion letter is rendered pursuant to Item 8(a) of Form F-1 promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and Items 601(b)(5) and (b)(23) of the SEC’s Regulation S-K promulgated under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

In connection with this opinion, we have examined the originals, or photocopies or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of registration statement on Form F-1 (Registration Statement No. 333-214188) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company with the SEC and as to which this opinion is filed as an exhibit, the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Association, resolutions of the Board of Directors and Financing Committee which have heretofore been approved and relate to the Offering and such statutes, regulations, corporate records, documents, certificates and such other instruments that we have deemed relevant and necessary for the basis of our opinions hereinafter expressed. In such examination, we have assumed: (i) the authenticity of original documents and the genuineness of all signatures; (ii) the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; (iii) the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information, representations and warranties contained in the corporate records, documents, certificates and instruments we have reviewed; (iv) the due execution and delivery of all documents where due execution and delivery are a prerequisite to the effectiveness thereof; and (v) the legal capacity of all natural persons.

 

We are members of the Israel Bar and we express no opinion as to any matter relating to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of Israel and have not, for the purpose of giving this opinion, made any investigation of the laws of any other jurisdiction than the State of Israel.

 

On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that upon payment to the Company of the consideration in such amount and form as shall be determined by the Board or an authorized committee thereof, the ordinary shares underlying the ADSs, when issued and sold in the Offering as described in the Registration Statement, will be duly validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Company’s Registration Statement and to the use of our name wherever it appears in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not believe that we are “experts” within the meaning of such term as used in the Securities

 



 

Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued thereunder with respect to any part of the Registration Statement, including this opinion as an exhibit or otherwise.

 

 

Very truly yours,
