**Item 4. Description of Securities.**

Not applicable.

**Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.**

Not applicable.

**Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.**

The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of any statutes referred to below and the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Movano Inc., a Delaware corporation.

Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL") permits a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was unlawful.

In the case of an action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, Section 145 of the DGCL permits a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or 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, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses that the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

Section 145 of the DGCL also permits a Delaware corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under Section 145 of the DGCL.

Article NINTH of our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation states that our directors shall not be personally liable to us or to our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability. Under Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty can be limited or eliminated except (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL (relating to unlawful payment of dividend or unlawful stock purchase or redemption); or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Article EIGHTH of our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Section 6.1 of our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that we shall indemnify (and advance expenses to) our officers and directors to the full extent permitted by the DGCL.

Effective upon the closing of this offering, we will have directors' and officers' liability insurance insuring our directors and officers against liability for acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers, subject to certain exclusions. Such insurance also insures us against losses which we may incur in indemnifying our officers and directors.

As permitted by the DGCL, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers that require us to indemnify such persons against various actions including, but not limited to, third-party actions where such director or executive officer, by reason of his or her corporate status, is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or participant in any threatened, pending or completed action, or by reason of anything done or not done by such director in any such capacity. We are obligated to indemnify directors and executive officers against all costs, fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such directors or executive officers in connection with such action, if such directors or executive officers acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests, and with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. We also must advance to our directors and executive officers expenses (including attorney's fees) incurred by or on behalf of such directors and executive officers no later than 30 days after our receipt of a statement or statements from directors or executive officers requesting such payments from time to time. Pursuant to the indemnification agreements, the directors or executive officers undertake to repay and advance to the extent it is ultimately determined that they are not entitled to be indemnified by us.

Prior to the closing of this offering, we plan to enter into an underwriting agreement, which will provide that the underwriter is obligated, under some circumstances, to indemnify our directors, officers and controlling persons against specified liabilities.

**Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.**

Not applicable.

**Item 9. Undertakings**

(a) The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Filing Fee
Tables" in the effective registration statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) to
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

<u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above 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 into this Registration Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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 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.

**SIGNATURES**

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Pleasanton, State of California, on December 19, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) resolutions adopted by the Board on (i) November 10, 2025 authorizing and approving Amendment No. 3 to the Omnibus Plan, the reservation of the Shares and the filing of the Registration Statement with respect to the Shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) a certificate of an officer of the Company, dated the date hereof.

For purposes of rendering our opinion below, we have not reviewed any document other than the Reviewed Documents and assume there exists no provision in any document relating to the matters covered by our opinion below that we have not reviewed that is inconsistent with the Reviewed Documents or our opinion below. We have conducted no independent factual investigation of our own but rather have relied on the documents listed above, the statements and information set forth therein and the additional matters recited or assumed herein, all of which we assume to be true, complete and accurate in all respects.

For purposes of this opinion letter, we have made assumptions that are customary in opinion letters of this kind, including the assumptions that: (a) each of the Reviewed Documents is accurate and complete; (b) each of the Reviewed Documents that is an original is authentic; (c) each of the Reviewed Documents that is a copy conforms to an authentic original; (d) all signatures on each of the Reviewed Documents are genuine; and (e) there are no documents other than the Reviewed Documents that could affect the opinion expressed in this opinion letter and no amendments, modifications or waivers of the Reviewed Documents. We have further assumed (i) the legal capacity of natural persons, (ii) that each party to the Reviewed Documents (A) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its organization, (B) has the legal capacity, power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Reviewed Documents to which it is a party, (C) has taken all action necessary to duly authorize the execution and delivery of, and the performance of such party's obligations under, the Reviewed Documents, and (D) has duly executed and delivered the Reviewed Documents, (iii) the Reviewed Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of each party thereto, enforceable against each such party in accordance with their terms, (iv) the issuance of the Shares will not increase the proportionate share of Common Stock held by an "interested stockholder" (within the meaning of Section 203(c) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "<u>DGCL</u>")), and (v) the Company is and shall remain at all times a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. We have not verified any of the foregoing assumptions.

In rendering our opinion below, we also have assumed that (a) the Company will have sufficient authorized, unissued and unreserved shares of Common Stock at the time of each issuance of a Share or rights or options to acquire a Share, in each case, under the Omnibus Plan; (b) either (i) upon the issuance of a Share, such Share will be evidenced by a certificate that has been duly executed and delivered or (ii) the Board has adopted a resolution providing that all shares of Common Stock shall be uncertificated in accordance with Section 158 of the DGCL prior to the issuance of such Share and, within a reasonable time after the issuance of such uncertificated Share, the registered owner of such Share will be given notice in writing or by electronic transmission in compliance with Section 151(f) of the DGCL; (c) the issuance of each Share will be duly recorded in the Company's stock ledger upon its issuance; (d) the Omnibus Plan and each Award Agreement (as defined in the Omnibus Plan and hereinafter referred to as an "Award Agreement") constitutes or will constitute, as applicable, the valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms; (e) the Company will receive consideration for each Share as set forth in the applicable Authorizing Resolutions (as defined below), which consideration shall be at least equal to the par value of such share of Common Stock (unless such Share is held in treasury, in which case, the consideration shall be the amount as set forth in the applicable Authorizing Resolutions), and, in the amount required by the Omnibus Plan and any applicable Award Agreement; (f) with respect to any Shares issuable upon the exercise of any right or option to acquire Shares under the Omnibus Plan, the Company shall have received the minimum consideration (if any) for which such rights or options may be issued pursuant to the applicable Authorizing Resolutions and the Omnibus Plan; and (g) prior to the issuance of any Shares or any right or option to acquire any Shares, in each case, under the Omnibus Plan, the Board or a duly authorized committee of the Board will duly authorize by resolution each Award (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) granted under the Omnibus Plan with respect such Shares or rights or options to acquire such Shares and pursuant to an Award Agreement, in each case, in accordance with the DGCL and the Omnibus Plan (such resolutions, the "<u>Authorizing Resolutions</u>"). We have not verified any of the foregoing assumptions.

Our opinion set forth below is limited to the DGCL and reported decisions interpreting the DGCL. We express no opinion as to the laws, rules or regulations of any other jurisdiction, including, without limitation, the federal laws of the United States of America or any state securities or blue sky laws; we express no opinion with respect to the Corporate Transparency Act.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and assuming that the Registration Statement will be effective at the time of such issuance, it is our opinion that the Shares, when and if issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Omnibus Plan, the Authorizing Resolutions and any applicable Award Agreements, will be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter with the Commission as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are experts with respect to any part of the Registration Statement within the meaning of the term "expert" as used in Section 11 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Commission, nor do we admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.
