(1)
Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of the Registrant’s Class A common stock that become issuable in respect of the securities identified in the above table by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, or other similar transaction effected without the Registrant’s receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the number of the outstanding shares of the Registrant’s Class A common stock.
(2)
Represents additional shares of Registrant’s Class A common stock reserved for issuance under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (“2019 Plan”) resulting from the automatic annual increase in the number of authorized shares reserved and available for issuance under the 2019 Plan.
(3)
Estimated pursuant to Rules 457(c) and (h) of the Securities Act, solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee, on the basis of the average of the high and low prices of the Registrant’s Class A common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) on September 4, 2020.
(4)
Represents additional shares of the Registrant’s Class A common stock reserved for issuance under the 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“Purchase Plan”) resulting from the automatic annual increase in the number of authorized shares reserved and available for issuance under the Purchase Plan.
(5)
Estimated pursuant to Rules 457(c) and (h) of the Securities Act, solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee, on the basis of the average of the high and low prices of the Registrant’s Class A common stock as reported on Nasdaq on September 4, 2020. Under the Purchase Plan, the purchase price of a share of Class A common stock is equal to 85% of the fair market value of the Registrant’s Class A common stock on the offering date or the purchase date, whichever is less.
(6)
Represents shares of Registrant’s Class A common stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of Class B common stock underlying stock options outstanding under the 2015 Stock Plan (“2015 Plan”) as of the date of this Registration Statement and that were not registered on the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-233941) filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 26, 2019 due to an inadvertent omission. Any shares of Class B common stock that are subject to awards under the 2015 Plan that are forfeited, lapse unexercised, or would otherwise have been returned to the share reserve under the 2015 Plan, instead will be available for issuance as Class A common stock under the 2019 Plan.
(7)Pursuant to Rule 457(i) under the Securities Act, there is no fee associated with the registration of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of any Class B common stock (a convertible security) being registered under this Registration Statement because no additional consideration will be received in connection with the conversion of Class B common stock.
(8)Represents shares of Class B common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to stock options outstanding under the 2015 Plan as of the date of this Registration Statement. Any shares of Class B common stock that are subject to stock options under the 2015 Plan that are forfeited, lapse unexercised, or would otherwise have been returned to the share reserve under the 2015 Plan will be available for issuance as Class A common stock under the 2019 Plan.
(9)Calculated solely for the purposes of this offering under Rule 457(h) of the Securities Act on the basis of the weighted average exercise price for stock options outstanding under the 2015 Plan granted by the Registrant as of the date of this Registration Statement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
At your request, as your counsel, we have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed by Peloton Interactive, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on or about September 10, 2020 in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the issuance of: (i) an aggregate of 21,391,544 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, $0.000025 par value per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), subject to issuance by the Company (a) upon the exercise or settlement of awards granted or to be granted under the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”), (b) pursuant to the conversion of shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock, $0.000025 par value per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), that are subject to issuance by the Company upon the exercise of awards granted under the Company’s 2015 Stock Plan, as amended (the “2015 Plan”), and (c) pursuant to purchase rights to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock granted or to be granted under the Company’s 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”) and (ii) an aggregate of 4,109,200 shares of Class B Common Stock that are subject to issuance by the Company upon the exercise of awards granted under the 2015 Plan.
The 21,391,544 shares of Class A Common Stock described in clause (i) of the preceding paragraph and the 4,109,200 shares of Class B Common Stock described in clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph are collectively referred to herein as the “Shares” and the 2019 Plan, the 2015 Plan and the Purchase Plan are collectively referred to in this letter as the “Plans.” At your request, we are providing this letter to express our opinion on the matters set forth below in this letter (“our opinion”).
In connection with our opinion, we have examined such matters of fact as we have deemed necessary, which included examination of originals or copies of the Company’s current Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws (collectively, the “Charter Documents”), the Registration Statement and the exhibits thereto, the prospectuses relating to the Plans, certain corporate proceedings of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and the Company’s stockholders relating to adoption or approval of the Charter Documents, the Plans and related forms of Plan agreements for use thereunder, the reservation of the Shares for sale and issuance, the filing of the Registration Statement and the registration of the issuance of the Shares under the Securities Act, and documents (including a certificate from the Company’s transfer agent) regarding the Company’s outstanding and reserved capital stock and other securities and such other documents as we have deemed advisable, and we also have examined such questions of law as we have considered necessary.
In our examination of documents for purposes of this opinion, we have assumed, and express no opinion as to, the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness of signatures on documents reviewed by us, the conformity to originals and the completeness of all documents submitted to us as copies, the legal capacity of all parties executing any documents



(other than the Company), the lack of any undisclosed termination or modification or waiver of any document, the absence of any extrinsic agreements or documents that might change or affect the interpretation or terms of documents, and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by each party thereto (other than the Company). We have also assumed that any certificates or instruments representing the Shares, if and when issued, will be executed by the Company by officers of the Company duly authorized to do so. In rendering our opinion, we have also relied upon a Certificate of Good Standing dated September 10, 2020 issued by the Delaware Secretary of State with respect to the Company and representations and certifications made to us by the Company, including without limitation representations in a Management Certificate addressed to us of even date herewith, that the Company has available a sufficient number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock that are not currently outstanding or reserved for issuance under other outstanding securities or plans of the Company, to enable the Company to issue and deliver all of the Shares as of the date of this letter.
We render this opinion only with respect to, and we express no opinion herein concerning the application or effect of the laws of any jurisdiction other than, the existing Delaware General Corporation Law now in effect. We express no opinion with respect to the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state.
Based upon, and subject to, the foregoing, it is our opinion that when (i) the 21,391,544 shares of Class A Common Stock that may be issued and sold by the Company (a) upon the exercise or settlement of awards granted or to be granted under the 2019 Plan, (b) pursuant to the conversion of the shares of Class B Common Stock that are subject to issuance by the Company upon the exercise of awards granted under the 2015 Plan, and (c) pursuant to purchase rights to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock granted or to be granted under the Purchase Plan, and (ii) 4,109,200 shares of Class B Common Stock that are subject to issuance by the Company upon the exercise of awards granted under the 2015 Plan, have been issued and sold by the Company against the Company’s receipt of payment therefor (in an amount and type of consideration not less than the par value per Share) in accordance with the terms (including, without limitation, payment and authorization provisions) of the applicable Plan and have been duly registered on the books of the transfer agent and registrar for the Shares in the name or on behalf of the holders thereof, such Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and further consent to all references to us, if any, in the Registration Statement, the prospectuses constituting a part thereof and any amendments thereto. We do not thereby 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 thereunder. This opinion is intended solely for use in connection with issuance and sale of the Shares subject to the Registration Statement and is not to be relied upon for any other purpose. In providing this letter, we are opining only as to the specific legal issues expressly set forth above, and no opinion shall be inferred as to any other matter or matters. This opinion is rendered on, and speaks only as of, the date of this letter first written above, and does not address any potential change in facts or law that may occur after the date of this opinion letter. We assume no obligation to advise you of any fact, circumstance, event or change in the law or the facts that may hereafter be brought to our attention, whether or not such occurrence would affect or modify any of the opinions expressed herein.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Fenwick & West LLP
