Re: Atlassian Corporation Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statements on Form S-8
To the addressee set forth above:
We have acted as special counsel to Atlassian Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with its filing on the date hereof with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to five registration statements on Form S-8 (Registration Nos. 333-208436, 333-214424, 333-221342, 333-228124 and 333-266998) previously filed by Atlassian Corporation Plc, a public company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of England and Wales and the Company’s predecessor, with respect to the adoption of such registration statements by the Company pursuant to Rule 414 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Such registration statements on Form S-8, as amended by the Amendment, are referred to herein as the “Registration Statements.” In connection with such representation, the Company has advised us that shares (“Shares”) of Class A common stock of the Company, par value $0.00001 per share, may be issuable or become issuable pursuant to grants or awards under the employee plans (the “Plans”) set forth on Exhibit A hereto.
This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statements, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issuance of the Shares.
As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter. With your consent, we have relied upon certificates and other assurances of officers of the Company and others as to factual matters without having independently verified such factual matters. We are opining herein as to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), and we express no opinion with respect to any other laws.
