ITEM 5.

Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Scott M. Davies, Esq., Sr. Director, Legal – Corporate and Commercial, of the Registrant, has rendered an opinion as to the legality of the Registrant’s Common Stock offered hereby. Mr. Davies is also eligible to participate in and purchase shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock under the Plan.

ITEM 6.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation includes provisions that eliminate, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), the personal liability of Registrant’s directors to Registrant or Registrant’s stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws also require Registrant to indemnify Registrant’s directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Pursuant to these provisions, Registrant has entered into indemnity agreements with each of their directors and certain of their officers.

Pursuant to Section 145 of the DGCL, a corporation generally has the power to indemnify its present and former directors, officers, employees and agents against expenses incurred by them in connection with any suit to which they are, or are threatened to be made, a party by reason of their serving in such positions so long as they acted in good faith and in a manner that they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.

These provisions do not eliminate the duty of care, and in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies, such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief, may remain available under Delaware law. Each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to Registrant or Registrant’s stockholders, for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law, for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions under Section 174 of the DGCL or for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. These provisions also generally do not affect a director’s responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws.

Registrant’s amended and restated bylaws also expressly permit Registrant to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not Registrant would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the DGCL. Pursuant to this provision, Registrant has acquired director and officer insurance policies that cover Registrant’s directors and executive officers.

 

ITEM 7.

Exemption From Registration Claimed.

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 8.

Exhibits.

See Index to Exhibits.

 

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:

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

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the 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 the Registration Statement.

(iii) 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;

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section 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 Section 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 the 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.

		Re:		Illumina, Inc.
				Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am Senior Director, Legal – Corporate and Commercial of Illumina, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). I have acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) for the registration of the offer and sale of 8,256,076 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Shares”), all of which may be issued pursuant to awards under the Company’s 2015 Stock and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

I have examined the originals, or photostatic or certified copies, of such records of the Company and certificates of officers of the Company and of public officials and such other documents as I have deemed relevant and necessary as the basis for the opinions set forth below. I have assumed that all signatures are genuine, that all documents submitted to me as originals are authentic and that all copies of documents submitted to me conform to the originals.

Based upon the foregoing examination and in reliance thereon, and subject to the assumptions stated and in reliance on statements of fact contained in the documents that I have examined, I am of the opinion that the Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.

I am a member of the Bar of the States of New York, California, and Colorado, and, in expressing the foregoing opinions, I am not rendering any opinion herein as to matters involving any laws other than the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). This opinion is limited to the effect of the current state of the law of the DGCL and the facts as they currently exist. I assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion in the event of future changes in such law or the interpretations thereof or such facts.

I consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, I do not thereby admit that I am within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission.

 

Exhibit 23.2
