Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Waystar Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the sale of up to 75,664,799 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, that may be sold from time to time by certain selling stockholders identified in the Registration Statement. The Shares may be sold or delivered from time to time as set forth in the Registration Statement, any amendment thereto, the prospectus contained therein (the “Prospectus”) and any supplements to the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.
We have examined the Registration Statement and the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company included as Exhibit 3.1 to the Registration Statement. In addition, we have examined, and have relied as to matters of fact upon, originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such records, agreements, documents and other instruments and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company and have made such other investigations as we have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinion hereinafter set forth.
