The number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for issuance under the ESPP is subject to an automatic annual increase on each January 1, beginning in 2021, by an amount equal to the least of: (i) one percent of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, (ii) 656,714 shares of Common Stock or (iii) such lesser number of shares of Common Stock as determined by the Administrator (as defined in the ESPP).

Re:Securities Being Registered under Registration Statement on Form S-8

 

We have acted as counsel to you in connection with your filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on or about the date hereof relating to an aggregate of 2,921,331 shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of C4 Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), that may be issued pursuant to the Company’s 2020 Stock Option and Incentive Plan and 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (collectively, the “Plans”).

 

We have reviewed such documents and made such examination of law as we have deemed appropriate to give the opinions set forth below.  We have relied, without independent verification, on certificates of public officials and, as to matters of fact material to the opinion set forth below, on certificates of officers of the Company.

 

The opinion set forth below is limited to the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

For purposes of the opinion set forth below, we have assumed that no event occurs that causes the number of authorized shares of Common Stock available for issuance by the Company to be less than the number of then unissued Shares.

 

Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and, upon issuance and delivery against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Plans, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

We hereby consent to the inclusion of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement.  In giving our consent, we do not 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.

 

Very truly yours,

(1)

In accordance with Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, this registration statement shall be deemed to cover any additional securities that may from time to time be offered or issued to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions.

 

 

 

 

(2)

Consists of 2,434,443 additional shares issuable under the 2020 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, which represents the automatic annual increase to the number of shares available for issuance under the 2020 Stock Option and Incentive Plan effective as of January 1, 2022.

 

 

 

 

(3)

Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee pursuant to Rules 457(c) and 457(h) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The price per share and aggregate offering price are calculated based on the average of the high and low price of the registrant’s Common Stock as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on February 17, 2022.

 

 

 

 

(4)

Consists of 486,888 additional shares issuable under the 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which represents the automatic annual increase to the number of shares available for issuance under the 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) effective as of January 1, 2022.

 

 

 

 

(5)

The price of $19.282 per share, which is 85% of the average of the high and low sale prices of the Common Stock of the Registrant as quoted on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on February 17, 2022, is set forth solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee pursuant to Rules 457(c) and (h) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and has been used as these shares are without a fixed price. Pursuant to the ESPP, the purchase price of the shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance thereunder will be 85% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the first trading day of the offering period or on the exercise date, whichever is less.
