Re:Registration Statement on Form S‑8
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed by Twitter, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about the date hereof, in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of an aggregate of up to 13,041 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.000005 per share (the “Shares”), reserved for issuance pursuant to the Zipdial Mobile Solutions Private Limited Employee Stock Option Plan 2011 (the “Plan”).
As your legal counsel, we have examined the proceedings taken and are familiar with the actions proposed to be taken by you in connection with the issuance and sale of the Shares under the Plan and pursuant to the agreements related thereto.
On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that the Shares, when issued and sold in the manner referred to in the Plan and pursuant to the agreements that accompany the Plan, will be legally and validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.
We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and further consent to the use of our name wherever appearing in the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto.
Very truly yours,
