Re:	TransAct Technologies Incorporated
	Registration of 700,000 Shares of Common Stock

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We refer to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by TransAct Technologies Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), relating to the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), of 700,000 shares of common stock of the Company, $.01 par value (the “Shares”), issuable upon the exercise of stock options or stock appreciation rights or upon the grant of other stock-based awards available for grant under the TransAct Technologies Incorporated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated (the “Plan”).

 

In connection with our opinion, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Plan, the Registration Statement, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, and the Amended and Restated By-laws of the Company, each as currently in effect, relevant resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company or committees thereof and such corporate records, documents, agreements, instruments and certificates of public officials of the State of Delaware and of officers of the Company as we have deemed necessary or appropriate in order to express the opinion hereinafter set forth.

 

In our examination of such documents and records, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and of all original documents the copies of which are submitted to us, the legal capacity of natural persons, the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies, that the persons identified to us as officers are actually serving as such, and that any certificates representing the Shares will be properly executed by one or more such persons.

 

Based upon the foregoing and in reliance thereon, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that, when the Registration Statement shall have become effective under the Act and the Shares have been duly issued and delivered in the manner contemplated by the Registration Statement (including the related prospectus which is not filed herewith) and the Plan, upon payment of the agreed consideration therefor, if any, in accordance with the Plan, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

The foregoing opinion is limited to General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. We express no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction. This opinion letter is rendered as of the date hereof and we express no opinion as to circumstances or events that may occur subsequent to such date. We assume no obligation or responsibility to supplement or update this opinion letter, or to advise any person of changes of law or the interpretation thereof, or any changes of fact, that occur after the date hereof, even though such changes may affect a legal analysis, conclusion, informational confirmation or opinion set forth in this opinion letter.

 

 

We hereby consent to the use of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not hereby concede that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act, or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.

 

	Very truly yours,
	/s/ DAY PITNEY LLP
	DAY PITNEY LLP

 

 

 

 

 

 

Exhibit 23.1

 

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm’s Consent

 

We consent to the incorporation by reference in this Registration Statement of TransAct Technologies Incorporated on Form S-8 of our report dated March 27, 2023, with respect to our audits of the consolidated financial statements of TransAct Technologies Incorporated as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and for the years then ended appearing in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of TransAct Technologies Incorporated for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

Our report on the consolidated financial statements refers to a change in the method of accounting for its method of inventory valuation from standard cost (which approximated actual cost on a “first-in, first-out” basis) to the average cost method of inventory accounting, which was applied retrospectively to all periods presented.
