Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to SenesTech, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with its filing of (i) a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-286955) under Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 2, 2025 and amended on June 23, 2025 (the “Registration Statement”), (ii) the form of prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement (the “Base Prospectus”), and (iii) the prospectus supplement dated June 23, 2025 (the “June 23 Prospectus Supplement”) and the prospectus supplement dated June 30, 2025 (the “June 30 Prospectus Supplement,” and together with the June 23 Prospectus Supplement, the “Prospectus Supplements”) (the Prospectus Supplements together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”). The June 30 Prospectus Supplement relates to the issuance and sale by the Company from time to time of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, having a maximum aggregate offering price of up to $711,227 (the “Shares”).

 

The Shares are to be sold pursuant to an At The Market Offering Agreement, dated as of June 20, 2024 (the “ATM Agreement”), by and between the Company and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Agent”). This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issuance of the Shares.

 

With respect to the opinion set forth below, we have examined originals, certified copies, or copies otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being true copies, only of the following:

 

A. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended;

 

B. The Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, as amended;

 

C. Resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company approving, among other things, the issuance of the Shares;

D. The Registration Statement and the Prospectus; and

 

E. Such other documents and records and other certificates and instruments and matters of law as we have deemed necessary or appropriate to express the opinion set forth below, subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications stated herein.

Further, our opinion is based solely upon existing laws, rules, and regulations, and we undertake no obligation to advise you of any changes that may be brought to our attention after the date hereof.

 

We hereby expressly consent to any reference to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus constituting part of the Registration Statement, to the inclusion of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on the date hereof and which is incorporated by reference into the Prospectus, and to the filing of this opinion with any other appropriate governmental agency.
