The Company filed a final prospectus supplement in connection with the Registered Direct Offering on October 25, 2024.

Investors and security holders are not third-party beneficiaries under Purchase Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of any party to the Purchase Agreement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have requested our opinion, as counsel to Super League Enterprise, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with respect to certain matters in connection with the offering by the Company of 1,136,364 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 declared effective November 16, 2021 (No. 333-259347) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), the prospectus included within the Registration Statement (as updated from time to time, the “Base Prospectus”) and the prospectus supplement dated October 25, 2024 filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations of the Act (the “Prospectus Supplement”) (the Base Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement are collectively referred to as the “Prospectus”). The Shares are to be sold by the Company as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.
We have examined and relied upon the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, as currently in effect, and the originals or copies certified to our satisfaction of such records, documents, certificates, memoranda and other instruments as we have deemed relevant in connection with this opinion. We have assumed the genuineness and authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies, and the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of certificates of public officials.
The opinions set forth in this letter are limited to the Delaware General Corporation Law and the law of the State of California, in each case as in effect on the date hereof. We are not rendering any opinion as to compliance with any federal or state antifraud law, rule or regulation relating to securities or to the sale or issuance thereof. On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, and subject to the qualifications herein stated, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and when sold, issued and delivered against payment therefor as described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We consent to the reference to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus and to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the Commission for incorporation by reference into the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are “experts” within the meaning of Section 11 of the Act or within the category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the Securities Act.
Very truly yours,

If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to Buyer Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (x) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (y) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (z) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (1) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (2) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. The indemnification required by Section 4.8 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.
(l) Capital Changes. Until the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall not undertake a reverse or forward stock split or reclassification of the Common Stock without the prior written consent of Buyer, other than a stock split that is required, in the good faith judgment of the Company’s board of directors, to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on the current Principal Market.

The Company further agrees that service of process upon the Company mailed by first class mail shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company in any such suit or proceeding.

This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including any schedules and exhibits hereto and thereto) contain the entire understanding of Buyer, the Company, their affiliates and persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor Buyer make any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. No provision of this Agreement may be waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party to be charged with enforcement, and no provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and Buyer.
