Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are acting as counsel to TG Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) in connection with the registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-233636) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and declared automatically effective on September 5, 2019 (the “Registration Statement”). We are delivering this opinion in connection with the prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) filed on November 9, 2020 by the Company as part of the Registration Statement. The Prospectus Supplement relates to the at-the-market offering by the Company of up to $400,000,000 in shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”) covered by the Registration Statement. The Shares are being offered and sold by the sales agents (the “Agents”) named in, and pursuant to, the At Market Issuance Sales Agreement dated March 20, 2020, between the Company and the Agents (the “Sales Agreement”). This opinion is being furnished to you at your request in accordance with the requirements of Item 16 of the Commission’s Form S-3 and Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act.
We have examined the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, all amendments thereto, the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, records of proceedings of the Board of Directors, or committees thereof, and records of proceedings of the stockholders, deemed by us to be relevant to this opinion letter, and the Registration Statement. We also have made such further legal and factual examinations and investigations as we deemed necessary for purposes of expressing the opinion set forth herein. In rendering such opinion, we have relied as to factual matters upon the representations, warranties and other statements made in the Sales Agreement.
