Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the filing of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Registration Statement.

 

The Registration Statement relates to the proposed resale by the selling stockholders identified in the Registration Statement (the “Selling Stockholders”), or their permitted transferees, of 2,080,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share, issued to the Selling Stockholders upon conversion of the Notes pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and the purchasers named therein, dated November 7, 2023 (the “SPA”), the 12% Convertible Note (the “Note”), and the Registration Rights Agreement by and between the Company and the purchasers named therein, dated November 7, 2023 (the “RRA”, and together with the SPA and the Note the “Offering Documents”).

 

In connection with this opinion letter, we have examined the Registration Statement and originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Amended Articles of Incorporation, as amended through the date hereof, and the Amended Bylaws, as in effect on the date hereof, of the Company, certain resolutions of the Company’s Board of Directors relating to the Registration Statement, the Offering Documents, and such other documents, records and other instruments as we have deemed appropriate for purposes of the opinion set forth herein.
