We have acted as counsel to Propanc Biopharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “you”), and have examined the Amendment 5 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on or about November 3, 2020, in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 150,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share ( “Common Stock”), consisting of (i) up to 804,518 shares of Common Stock (the “Common Stock Shares”); (ii) 10,445,482 shares of Common Stock underlying Pre-funded Warrants to Purchase Common Stock (the “Pre-funded Warrant Common Stock Shares”); (iii) 11,250,000 shares of Common Stock underlying Series A Warrants to Purchase Common Stock (“Series A Warrant Common Stock Shares”); (iv) 63,750,000 shares of Common Stock underlying Series B Warrants to Purchase Common Stock (“Series B Warrant Common Stock Shares”); and (v) 63,750,000 Common Stock underlying Series C Warrants to Purchase Common Stock (“Series C Warrant Common Stock Shares”), (collectively, the “Shares”).
