EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Registration Statement on Form S-8 (this “Registration Statement”) is being filed by TaskUs, Inc. (the “Registrant”) for the purpose of registering additional shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Registrant (the “Class A Common Stock”), reserved for issuance under the TaskUs, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). These shares of Class A Common Stock are additional securities of the same class as other securities for which an original registration statement (File No. 333-256996) on Form S-8 was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 10, 2021  (the “Original Registration Statement”), which registered 18,775,051 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable under the Plan.

The shares of Class A Common Stock registered by this Registration Statement consist of (i) 2,307,412 shares of Class A Common Stock that have become reserved for issuance as a result of the operation of the “evergreen” provision of the Plan, which provides that the total number of shares subject to the Plan will be increased on the first day of each fiscal year pursuant to a specified formula, and (ii) 1,741,576 shares of Class A Common Stock that have become available for issuance under the Plan as a result of expiration, cancellation, forfeiture, termination, or other settlement without issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock in respect of awards under the Plan. Other than the 2,307,412 shares of Class A Common Stock that have become available for issuance pursuant to the “evergreen” provision of the Plan, the shares registered by this Registration Statement do not represent an increase in the number of shares previously reserved for issuance under the Plan.

Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of the Original Registration Statement are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement, except that the provisions contained in Part II of such Original Registration Statement are modified or supplemented, as the case may be, as set forth in this Registration Statement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to TaskUs, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the issuance by the Company of an aggregate of up to 4,048,988 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”) that may be issued by the Company pursuant to the TaskUs, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

We have examined the Registration Statement, the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company and the Plan, each of which have been filed with the Commission as exhibits to the Registration Statement. In addition, we have examined, and have relied as to matters of fact upon, originals, or duplicates or certified or conformed copies, of such records, agreements, documents and other instruments and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company and have made such other investigations as we have deemed relevant and necessary in connection with the opinion hereinafter set forth.

In rendering the opinion set forth below, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that upon issuance and delivery in accordance with the Plan, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

We do not express any opinion herein concerning any law other than the Delaware General Corporation Law.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement.

 

Very truly yours,

/s/ Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP
