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 of up to 166,415 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), pursuant to the Company’s 2023 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2023 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.

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.
