Re: Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed by PureCycle Technologies, Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for PureCycle Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the offering and sale from time to time, on a delayed basis, by certain stockholders of the Company of up to 4,091,293 shares (the “Selling Stockholder Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, as contemplated by the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-284634) (the “Registration Statement”). The Selling Stockholder Shares may be offered and sold from time to time pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”).
In connection with the opinion expressed herein, we have examined such documents, records and matters of law as we have deemed relevant or necessary for purposes of such opinion. Based on the foregoing, and subject to the further assumptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Selling Stockholder Shares have been validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.
The opinion expressed herein is limited to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as currently in effect, and we express no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K dated the date hereof filed by the Company and incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement and to the reference to Jones Day under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus constituting a part of the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are included in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Jones Day
