Re: Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-171375)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This opinion letter is furnished to you in connection with the above-referenced registration statement (the Registration Statement), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), for the registration of 6,634,350 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the Securities), of Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), including 865,350 shares of Securities that may be sold pursuant to the exercise of an over-allotment option. The Securities are proposed to be sold pursuant to an underwriting agreement (the Underwriting Agreement) to be entered into among the Company and the underwriters named therein.
We have acted as counsel for the Company in connection with the proposed issuance of the Securities. For purposes of this opinion, we have examined and relied upon such documents, records, certificates and other instruments as we have deemed necessary.
The opinions expressed below are limited to the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Securities have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and against payment of the consideration set forth therein, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We hereby consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name therein and in the related prospectus under the caption Legal Matters. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in
the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
Very truly yours, |
