We are acting as counsel to Starco Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) with respect to the preparation and filing of an offering statement on Form 1-A. The offering statement covers the contemplated sale of up to 45,454,545 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Company Shares”) by the Company and up to 11,363,636 shares of the Company’s Common Stock by certain selling shareholders (the “Selling Shareholders”) of the Company (the “Selling Shareholder Shares”).

 

In connection with the opinion contained herein, we have examined the offering statement, the certificate of incorporation (as amended) and bylaws, the minutes of meetings of the Company’s board of directors, as well as all other documents necessary to render an opinion. In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.

 

We are opining herein as to the effect on the subject transactions only of the laws of the State of Nevada, and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction, including federal law.

 

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that (i) the Company Shares are duly authorized and will be, when issued in the manner described in the offering statement, legally and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and (ii) the Selling Shareholder Shares to be sold by the Selling Shareholders are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
