Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We act as counsel to Allarity Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the filing and preparing of the registration statement on Form S-1, and as may be further amended or supplemented (the “Registration Statement”), to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to the registration of 4,877,778 shares (the “Resale Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) issuable upon exercise of warrants to purchase shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Inducement Warrants”) issued to certain of the selling stockholders in a private placement of the Inducement Warrants which closed on September 15, 2023 pursuant to certain Warrant Exercise Inducement Letters dated September 14, 2023.

 

In rendering the opinions set forth herein, 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 or advisable.

On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that the Resale Shares, upon exercise of the Inducement Warrants against payment of the exercise price therefor and in accordance with the terms of Inducement Warrants, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

In rendering the foregoing opinion, we have assumed that at or prior to the time of the delivery of any Shares, that the Registration Statement will have been declared effective under the Act and that the registration will apply to all of the Shares and will not have been modified or rescinded and that there will not have occurred any change in law affecting the validity of the issuance of such Shares.

 

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the references to our firm therein under the caption “Legal Matters.” In giving our consent, we do not thereby admit that we are experts with respect to any part of the Registration Statement within the meaning of the term “expert,” as used in Section 11 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Commission, nor do we 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 thereunder.

 

This opinion is furnished to you in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement and is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise relied upon for any other purpose.

 

    Very truly yours,
