Not applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

New York Business Corporation Law

 

With certain limitations, Sections 721 through 726 of the New York Business Corporation Law permit a corporation to indemnify a director or officer made a party to an action (i) by a corporation or in its right in order to procure a judgment in its favor if such director or officer acted in good faith for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in or, in certain cases not opposed to, such corporation’s best interests, except that no indemnification will be made in respect of (1) a threatened action, or a pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of, or (2) any claim, issue or matter as to which such person has been adjudged to be liable to such corporation, unless and only to the extent that a court determines upon application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such portion of the settlement amount and expenses as the court deems proper, or (ii) other than an action by or in the right of the corporation in order to procure a judgment in its favor, if such director officer acted in good faith and for a purpose he reasonably believed to be in or, in certain cases not opposed to, such corporation’s best interests and additionally, in criminal actions , had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

 

IEH Corporation’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation

 

Article X of the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides as follows:

 

“Pursuant to the Business Corporation Law of the State of New York, it is expressly provided that any and every person made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he, whether testate or intestate, is or was a director, officer or employee of this corporation or of any corporation which he served as such at the request of this corporation, shall be and hereby is indemnified by the corporation against any and all reasonable expenses including attorneys’ fees actually and necessarily incurred by him in connection with the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, except in relation to matters in which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such officer, director or employee is liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duties; and such right of indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which such director, officer or employee may be entitled apart from this provision and under any certificate of incorporation or other certificate filed pursuant to law, by-law agreement, vote of shareholders or otherwise. Any and all amounts payable by way of indemnity hereunder shall be determined and paid in accordance with the Business Corporation Law of the State of New York.”

 

Insurance

 

The Registrant maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies that insures our directors and officers, within the limits and subject to the limitations of the policy, against certain expenses in connection with the defense of actions, suits or proceedings, and certain liabilities that might be imposed as a result of such actions, suits or proceedings, to which they are parties by reason of being or having been directors or officers.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification may contravene public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. Accordingly, in the event that a claim for such indemnification is asserted by any of our directors, offices or controlling persons and the Commission is still of the same opinion, we (except insofar as such claim seeks reimbursement from us of expenses paid or incurred by a director, officer or controlling person in successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) will, unless the matter has theretofore been adjudicated by precedent deemed by our counsel to be controlling, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether or not indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 8. Exhibits.

 

Reference is hereby made to the Exhibit Index attached hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

 4 

 

 

Item 9. Undertakings.

 

  A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

  (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

 

(a) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(b) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement; and

 

(c) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

 

    providedhowever, that paragraphs A.(1)(a) and A.(1)(b) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post- effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

 

  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

  B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

IEH Corporation

140 58th Street, Suite 8E

Brooklyn, NY 11220

 

Re: IEH Corporation

       Registration Statement on Form S-8

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to IEH Corporation, a New York corporation (the “Company”), and are delivering this opinion in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-8 of the Company (together with all exhibits thereto, the “Registration Statement”) being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on or about the date hereof, relating to the registration by the Company of 750,000 shares (the “Plan Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock:), authorized for issuance pursuant to the Company’s 2020 Equity Stock Based Compensation Plan (the “2020 Plan”). This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601 of Regulation S-K of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”).

 

In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of: (i) the Registration Statement, as filed with the Commission under the Act on the date hereof; (ii) the 2020 Plan; (iii) the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended to date; (iv) the By-laws of the Company; and (v) such other documents, certificates and records, including certificates and receipts of public officials and certificates of officers or other representatives of the Company, and others as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth below.

 

In our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as facsimile, electronic, certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. In making our examination of documents executed or to be executed, we have assumed that the parties thereto, other than the Company, had or will have the power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or other, and the execution and delivery by such parties of such documents and the validity and binding effect thereof on such parties. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein that we did not independently establish or verify, we have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others and of public officials.

 

 1 

 

 

The opinion set forth below is subject to the following further qualifications, assumptions and limitations that:

 

(a)   all Plan Shares will be issued in accordance with the terms of the 2020 Plan;
     
(b)    a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s Common Stock   will be available for issuance when the Plan Shares are issued;
     
(c)   the consideration received by the Company for each Plan Share delivered pursuant to the 2020 Plan shall not be less than the par value of the Common Stock; and
     
(d)   the registrar and transfer agent for the Common Stock will duly register such issuance and countersign the Stock certificates evidencing such Plan Shares and such Stock certificates will conform to the specimen certificates examined by us.

 

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Plan Shares have been duly authorized for issuance and, when delivered and paid for in accordance with the terms of the 2020 Plan, the Plan Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

The opinions expressed herein are limited to the New York Business Corporation Law.

 

We hereby consent to the inclusion of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement.  In giving our consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Except as otherwise set forth herein, this opinion letter may not be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any purpose or relied upon by any other person without the express written permission of this firm.

 

  Very truly yours,

(1)

This Registration Statement covers 750,000 shares of Common Stock issuable under the Registrant’s 2020 Equity Stock-Based Compensation Plan (the “2020 Plan”). Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of Common Stock which become issuable under the 2020 Plan by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the number of outstanding shares of the Registration’s Common Stock.

   
(2)

Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee pursuant to Rules 457(c) and 457(h). The Proposed Maximum Offering Price per Share is based upon the average of the reported high and low sales prices per share of the Common Stock of the Registrant on November 25, 2024, as reported on the OTC Pink Sheets.

   
(3)

Represents shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock subject to outstanding option awards granted under the 2020 Plan. This estimate is made pursuant to Rule 457(h) solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee and is based on the weighted average exercise price per share of the outstanding options granted under the 2020 Plan.

   
 (4) The Registrant does not have any fee offsets.
