Registration Statement on Form S-1
(Registration No. 333-204951)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to vTv Therapeutics
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended
(the “Registration Statement”), of the Company, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “Rules”). You have asked
us to furnish our opinion as to the legality of the securities being registered under the Registration Statement. The Registration
Statement relates to the registration under the Act of up to shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s Class
A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), that may be offered by the Company (including shares
issuable by the Company upon exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option).
In connection with the furnishing of this
opinion, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the following documents
(collectively, the “Documents”):
1.
the Registration Statement;
2.
the form of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), included as Exhibit 1.1 to the Registration
Statement;
3.
the form of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, included as Exhibit 3.3 to the Registration
Statement; and
4.
the form of the Amended and Restated By-laws of the Company, included as Exhibit 3.4 to the Registration Statement.
In addition, we have examined (i) such corporate
records of the Company that we have considered appropriate, including a copy of the certificate of incorporation, as amended, and
by-laws, as amended, of the Company, certified by the Company as in effect on the date of this letter, and copies of resolutions
of the board of directors of the Company relating to the issuance of the Shares, certified by the Company, and (ii) such other
certificates, agreements and documents that we deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below. We have
also relied upon the factual matters contained in the representations and warranties of the Company made in the Documents and upon
certificates of public officials and the officers of the Company.
In our examination of the documents referred
to above, we have assumed, without independent investigation, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all individuals
who have executed any of the documents reviewed by us, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity
to the originals of all documents submitted to us as certified, photostatic, reproduced or conformed copies of valid existing agreements
or other documents, the authenticity of all the latter documents and that the statements regarding matters of fact in the certificates,
records, agreements, instruments and documents that we have examined are accurate and complete.
Based upon the above, and subject to the stated
assumptions, exceptions and qualifications, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action on the part of the Company and, when issued, delivered and paid for as contemplated in the Registration Statement
and in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
The opinion expressed above is limited to
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Our opinion is rendered only with respect to the laws, and the
rules, regulations and orders under those laws, that are currently in effect.
We hereby consent to use of this opinion
as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the heading “Legal Matters” contained
in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within the
category of persons whose consent is required by the Act or the Rules.
Very truly yours,

14. It does not appear you have given pro forma effect to all of the reorganization
transactions disclosed on page 4. It appears after the reorganization transactions that
substantially all of vTvx Holdings I and II’s assets will have been contributed to vTv
Therapeutics LLC. In addition, it appears the Registrant will then hold a voting
managing member interest in vTv Therapeutics LLC with no economic interest. Please
tell us your basis for presenting the members’ equity o f vTvx Holdings I in the
reorganization pro forma column, rather than the equity of the Registrant. Please also
explain why no noncontrolling interest in vTv Therapeutics LLC has been
reflected. Please also address the related impact this would have on t he reorganization

27. HPCTC was sold to a former officer and director on December 30, 2014. You disclose
that the disposal of HPCTC does not represent a strategic shift in operations and therefore
is not presented as discontinued operation s. Considering your disclosure on page 70 that
revenues for 2013 and 2014 are primarily related to clinical trial services provided by
HPCTC and it appears that no revenue or continuing cash flows are expected to be
generated upon disposal of HPCTC, tell us the basis for your conclusion that (a) the
disposal of HPCTC, a major line of business generating significant revenue does not
represent a strategic shift in operations (b) disposal of HPCTC will not have a major
effect on your operations and financial results and (c) how your presentation is
appropriate. Please explain to us in detail the factors you considered and how your
presentation and disclosures comply with ASU No. 2014 -08. In this regard, please also
expand your discussions in MD&A to discuss whether you will continue to generate
revenue by providing clinical trial services and the impact of the disposal of HPCTC on
your operations and financial results.
You may con tact Raj Rajan at (202) 551 -3388 or Rufus Decker at (202) 551 -3769 if you
