Re:  SOL Strategies Inc. - Registration Statement on Form S-8

 

We have acted as Canadian counsel to SOL Strategies Inc. (the “Company”), a corporation organized under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “OBCA”) in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 4, 2026, relating to the registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) of 3,908,245 common shares in the capital of the Company (the “Common Shares”) consisting of: (i) 992,922 Common Shares (“Primary Shares”) issuable or deliverable pursuant to future grants of awards (“Awards”) under the Company’s Amended and Restated Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan dated December 4, 2024, (the “Plan”); and (ii) 2,915,323 Common Shares (“Existing Option Shares”) issuable pursuant to outstanding options granted under the Plan (“Options”).

 

The Registration Statement also relates to the registration for resale from time to time of up to 52,064 Common Shares issued or issuable upon the settlement of restricted share units (“RSUs”) granted under the Plan (collectively, the “Resale Shares”, and, together with the Primary Shares and the Existing Options Shares, the “Shares”) by or on behalf of the selling shareholders or their permitted transferees described in the reoffer prospectus included in the Registration Statement.
