<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware provides, in summary, that the directors and officers of the Registrant may, under
certain circumstances, be indemnified by the Registrant against all expenses incurred by or imposed upon them as a result of actions, suits or proceedings brought against them as such directors and officers, or as directors or officers of any other
organization at the request of the Registrant, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, have no
reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. No indemnification shall be made, however, against expenses with respect to any claim issued or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Registrant unless and
only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, they are fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper. Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law also provides that directors and officers of the Registrant are entitled to such indemnification by the Registrant to the extent
that such persons are successful on the merits or otherwise in defending any such action, suit or proceeding. The Registrant&#146;s Amended and Restated <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">By-laws</FONT> and Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation
provide for the indemnification by the Registrant of officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Registrant has entered into agreements to indemnify certain of its officers in addition to the indemnification provided for in the <FONT

or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of the Registrant, on account of acts and omissions within the course and scope of employment with the Registrant. The Registrant believes that these provisions and agreements are necessary to
attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Section&nbsp;102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a
corporation, in its certificate of incorporation, may eliminate the personal liability of its directors to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, other than liability for (1)&nbsp;any
breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2)&nbsp;acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3)&nbsp;any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit and (4)&nbsp;unlawful payment of dividends, or unlawful stock purchase or redemptions. The Registrant&#146;s Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for the elimination of personal
liability of its directors to the fullest extent permitted by Section&nbsp;102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Registrant

actions, suits or proceedings, and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a result of such claims, actions, suits or proceedings, which may be brought against them by reason of having been such directors or officers. </P>

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.

counsel to The Cooper Companies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the &#147;<B><I>Company</I></B>&#148;), in connection with the registration by the Company of an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares (the &#147;<B><I>Shares</I></B>&#148;) of common stock of
the Company, par value $0.10 per share, which may become issuable under the Company&#146;s 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the &#147;<B><I>Plan</I></B>&#148;). The Shares are included in a registration statement on Form <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-8</FONT> under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;<B><I>Act</I></B>&#148;), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;<B><I>Commission</I></B>&#148;) on August&nbsp;30, 2019 (the
&#147;<B><I>Registration Statement</I></B>&#148;). This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">S-K</FONT> under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as
to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or the related prospectus, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issue of the Shares. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter.
With your consent, we have relied upon certificates and other assurances of officers of the Company and others as to factual matters without having independently verified such factual matters. We are opining herein as to the General Corporation Law
of the State of Delaware (the &#147;<B><I>DGCL</I></B>&#148;), and we express no opinion with respect to any other laws. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Subject to the
foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, when the Shares shall have been duly registered on the books of the transfer agent and registrar therefor in the name or on behalf of the purchasers and
have been issued by the Company against payment therefor (not less than par value) in the circumstances contemplated by the Plan, the issuance and sale of the Shares will have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company,
and the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. In rendering the foregoing opinion, we have assumed that the Company will comply with all applicable notice requirements regarding uncertificated shares provided in the DGCL. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This opinion is for your benefit in connection with the Registration Statement and may be relied upon by you and by persons entitled to rely
upon it pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Act. We consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is
required under Section&nbsp;7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:55%; text-indent:-2%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Very truly yours,
