Article 38.1 of the Registrant’s Amended
and Restated Articles of Association provides:
“Every
Indemnified Person1 for the time being and from time to time of the Company and the personal representatives of the same shall
be indemnified and secured harmless out of the assets and funds of the Company against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses,
losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses
and amounts paid in settlement and costs of investigation (collectively “Losses”) incurred or sustained by him otherwise
than by reason of his own dishonesty, willful default or fraud in or about the conduct of the Company’s business or affairs (including
as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of his duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including
without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any Losses incurred by him in defending or investigating (whether successfully
or otherwise) any civil, criminal, investigative and administrative proceedings concerning or in any way related to the Company or its
affairs in any court whether in the Islands or elsewhere. Such Losses incurred in defending or investigating any such proceeding shall
be paid by the Company as they are incurred upon receipt, in each case, of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person to
repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined by a non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction that such
Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect thereto.”
Article 38.2 of the Registrant’s
Amended and Restated Articles of Association provides:
“No
such Indemnified Person of the Company and the personal representatives of the same shall be liable (i) for the acts, receipts, neglects,
defaults or omissions of any other Director or officer or agent of the Company or (ii) by reason of his having joined in any receipt
for money not received by him personally or in any other act to which he was not a direct party for conformity or (iii) for any loss
on account of defect of title to any property of the Company or (iv) on account of the insufficiency of any security in or upon which
any money of the Company shall be invested or (v) for any loss incurred through any bank, broker or other agent or any other party
with whom any of the Company’s property may be deposited or (vi) for any loss, damage or misfortune whatsoever which may happen
in or arise from the execution or discharge of the duties, powers, authorities or discretions of his office or in relation thereto or
(vii) for any loss occasioned by any negligence, default, breach of duty, breach of trust, error of judgement or oversight on such
Person’s part, unless he has acted dishonestly, with willful default or through fraud.”
Article 38.3 of the Registrant’s
Amended and Restated Articles of Association provides:
“The
Company hereby acknowledges that certain Indemnified Persons may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or
insurance from or against (other than directors’ and officers’ or similar insurance obtained or maintained by or on behalf
of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including any such insurance obtained or maintained pursuant to Article 38.4 hereof) Other
Indemnitors. The Company hereby agrees that: (i) it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to an Indemnified Person
are primary and any obligation of any Other Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities
incurred by such Indemnified Person are secondary); (ii) it shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by an Indemnified
Person and shall be liable for the full amount of all Losses to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of these Articles (or
any other agreement between the Company and an Indemnified Person) without regard to any rights an Indemnified Person may have against
any Other Indemnitors; and (iii) it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases any Other Indemnitors from any and all claims against
the Other Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that
no advancement or payment by any Other Indemnitors on behalf of an Indemnified Person with respect to any claim for which such Indemnified
Person has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing, and without prejudice to Article 39 below, Other Indemnitors
shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery
of such Indemnified Person against the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, no Person or entity providing Directors’ or officers’
or similar insurance obtained or maintained by or on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including any Person providing
such insurance obtained or maintained pursuant to Article 38.4 hereof, shall be an Other Indemnitor.”
_____________________
1 “Indemnified Person” means every
Director, alternate Director, Secretary or other officer for the time being or from time to time of the Company.
Article 38.4 of the Registrant’s
Amended and Restated Articles of Association provides:
“The
Directors may exercise all the powers of the Company to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of a Person who is or was (whether
or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Article 38 or under
applicable law): (a) a Director, alternate Director, Secretary or auditor of the Company or of a company which is or was a subsidiary
of the Company or in which the Company has or had an interest (whether direct or indirect); or (b) the trustee of a retirement benefits
scheme or other trust in which a person referred to in Article 38.1 is or has been interested, indemnifying him against any liability
which may lawfully be insured against by the Company.”
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
*Filed herewith.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this 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 this 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 Registration
Fee” table in this registration statement; and
(iii) To
include any material information with respect to the Plans not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change
to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided,
however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in periodic 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 in this Registration Statement.
(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.
(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 this
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 provisions referenced in Item 6 of this Registration Statement, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities 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 hereunder, 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 of 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 of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds
to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing this Registration Statement and has duly caused this Registration Statement
to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized on this 16th day of May, 2024.

Limited

Grand Cayman,
KY1-1104
Cayman Islands
Dear Sirs
PATRIA INVESTMENTS LIMITED
We have acted as Cayman Islands legal advisers
to Patria Investments Limited (the "Company"), and we have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed
by the Company with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (including all supplements and amendments thereto, the "Registration
Statement"), relating to the registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
of up to an aggregate of an additional 312,000 class A common shares with a par value of US$0.0001 per share in the capital of the Company
(the "Shares") for issuance pursuant to the Company's Premium Bonus Share Plan (the "Plan").
For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have
examined and relied upon the originals or copies of the documents listed in Schedule 1.
In giving this opinion we have relied upon the
assumptions set out in Schedule 2, which we have not independently verified.
We are Cayman Islands Attorneys at Law and express
no opinion as to any laws other than the laws of the Cayman Islands in force and as interpreted at the date of this opinion. We have not,
for the purposes of this opinion, made any investigation of the laws, rules or regulations of any other jurisdiction.
Based upon the foregoing examinations and assumptions
and upon such searches as we have conducted and having regard to legal considerations which we consider relevant, and under the laws of
the Cayman Islands, we give the following opinions in relation to the matters set out below.
1. The Company is an exempted company duly incorporated with limited
liability and validly existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands with full corporate power and authority to issue the Shares. The Company
is in good standing with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands (the "Registrar").
2. The Shares to be issued by the Company have been duly authorised
by all necessary corporate action of the Company and, upon the issue of the Shares (by the entry of the name of the registered owner thereof
in the register of members of the Company confirming that such Shares have been issued credited as fully paid), delivery and payment therefore
by the purchaser in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association (as defined in Schedule 1) and the Plan and in the manner
contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Shares will be validly created, legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable (meaning
that no additional sums may be levied on the holder thereof by the Company).

With effect from 1
July 2021, Walkers (Cayman) has converted to Walkers (Cayman) LLP but will continue to trade as Walkers.
We have relied upon the statements and representations of directors,
officers and other representatives of the Company as to factual matters.
Our opinion as to the good standing of the Company
is based solely upon receipt of the Certificate of Good Standing (as defined in Schedule 1) issued by the Registrar. The Company shall
be deemed to be in good standing under Section 200A of the Companies Act (as amended) of the Cayman Islands (the "Companies Act")
on the date of issue of the Certificate of Good Standing if all fees and penalties under the Companies Act have been paid and the Registrar
has no knowledge that the Company is in default under the Companies Act.
This opinion is limited to the matters referred
to herein and shall not be construed as extending to any other matter or document not referred to herein. This opinion is given solely
for your benefit and the benefit of your legal advisers acting in that capacity in relation to this transaction and may not be relied
upon by any other person, other than persons entitled to rely upon it pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act, without our prior
written consent.
This opinion shall be construed in accordance with
the laws of the Cayman Islands.
We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit
to the Registration Statement and further consent to all references to us in the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto.
Yours faithfully
/s/ Walkers (Cayman) LLP

Assumptions
This opinion is given based upon the following assumptions:
| 1. | The originals of all documents examined in connection with this opinion are authentic. The signatures,

the laws of that jurisdiction. |

of Association to be recorded therein are completely and accurately so recorded. |
| 7. | The Resolutions are and shall remain in full force and effect and have not been and will not be rescinded

were held and conducted in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association in force at the relevant time, or (b) duly executed
by or on behalf of each director or committee member and the signatures and initials thereon are those of a person or persons in whose
name the Resolutions have been expressed to be signed. |
| 8. | The Registration Statement and the Plan conform in every material respect to the latest drafts of the
same produced to us and, where provided in successive drafts, have been marked up to indicate all changes to such documents. |
| 9. | Each of the Registration Statement and the Plan (including each grant notice issued pursuant thereto)
will be duly authorised, executed and delivered by or on behalf of all relevant parties prior to the issue of the Shares and will be legal,
valid, binding and enforceable against all relevant parties in accordance with their terms under all relevant laws (other than the laws
of the Cayman Islands). |
| 10. | On the date of issuance of the Shares, the Company has sufficient authorised and unissued share capital. |
| 11. | All preconditions to the issue of the Shares under the terms of the Plan and the Memorandum and Articles
of Association will be satisfied or duly waived prior to the issue of the Shares and there will be no breach of the terms of the Plan
or the Memorandum and Articles of Association. |

(c) Except
as may be permitted by the Committee or as specifically provided in an Award Document, (i) no Award and no right under any Award
shall be assignable, alienable, saleable or transferable by a Participant otherwise than by will and (ii) during a Participant’s
lifetime, each Award, and each right under any Award, shall be exercisable only by the Participant or, if permissible under applicable
law, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. The provisions of this Section 6(c) shall not apply to any Award
that has been fully settled, and shall not preclude forfeiture of an Award in accordance with the terms thereof.
(d) All
certificates for Shares and/or other securities delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award shall be subject to such stop transfer
orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations and other requirements of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock market or exchange upon which such Shares or other securities are then quoted, traded or
listed, and any applicable securities laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make
appropriate reference to such restrictions.
(e) Without
limiting the generality of Section 6(f), the Committee may impose restrictions on any Award with respect to noncompetition, confidentiality
and other restrictive covenants, or requirements to comply with minimum stock ownership requirements, as it deems necessary or appropriate
in its sole discretion.
(f) The
Committee may specify in an Award Document that the Participant’s rights, payments and benefits with respect to an Award shall be
subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise
applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events may include a Termination of Service with or without Cause (and,
in the case of any Cause that is resulting from an indictment or other non-final determination, the Committee may provide for such Award
to be held in escrow or abeyance until a final resolution of the matters related to such event occurs, at which time the Award shall either
be reduced, cancelled or forfeited (as provided in such Award Document) or remain in effect, depending on the outcome), violation of material
policies, breach of noncompetition, confidentiality or other restrictive covenants that may apply to the Participant, or other conduct
by the Participant that is detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company and/or its Affiliates.
(g) Rights,
payments and benefits under any Award shall be subject to repayment to or recoupment (“clawback”) by the Company in accordance
with such policies and procedures as the Committee or Board may adopt from time to time, including policies and procedures to implement
applicable law, stock market or exchange rules and regulations or accounting or tax rules and regulations.
Section 7. Amendments
and Termination.
(a) Except
to the extent prohibited by applicable law and unless otherwise expressly provided in an Award Document or in the Plan, the Committee
may, at its sole discretion, amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided,
however, that no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made without (i) shareholder
approval, if such approval is required by applicable law or the rules of the stock market or exchange, if any, on which the Shares are
principally quoted or traded or (ii) the consent of the affected Participant, if such action would materially adversely affect the
rights of such Participant under any outstanding Award, except to the extent any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance
or termination is made to cause the Plan to comply with applicable law, stock market or exchange rules and regulations or accounting or
tax rules and regulations, or to impose any recoupment provisions on any Awards in accordance with Section 6(g). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Committee may amend the Plan in such manner as may be necessary to enable the Plan to achieve
its stated purposes in any jurisdiction in a tax-efficient manner and in compliance with local laws, rules and regulations. Any amendment
to the Plan pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall be formalized in writing and a copy of the amended Plan shall be delivered to the
Participant for mere acknowledgement purposes.
(b) The
Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate any Award theretofore
granted, prospectively or retroactively, without the consent of any relevant Participant or holder or beneficiary of an Award; provided,
however, that, subject to Section 4(b), no such action shall materially adversely affect the rights of any affected Participant
or holder or beneficiary under any Award theretofore granted under the Plan, except to the extent any such action is made to cause the
Plan to comply with applicable law, stock market or exchange rules and regulations or accounting or tax rules and regulations, or to impose
any recoupment provisions on any Awards in accordance with Section 6(g).
(c) Except
as explicitly provided as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Committee shall be authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions
of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of events (including the events described in Section 4(b)) affecting the
Company, or the financial statements of the Company, or of changes in applicable law, stock market or exchange rules and regulations or
accounting or tax rules and regulations, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution
or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan.
(d) The
Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award in the manner and to the
extent it shall deem desirable to carry the Plan into effect.
Section 8. Miscellaneous.
(a) No
employee, Participant or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity
of treatment of employees, Participants or holders or beneficiaries of Awards under the Plan. The terms and conditions of Awards need
not be the same with respect to each recipient. Any Award granted under the Plan shall be a one-time Award that does not constitute a
promise of future grants. The Company, in its sole discretion, maintains the right to make available future grants under the Plan.
(b) The
grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of, or to continue to provide
services to, the Company or any Affiliate. Further, the Company or the applicable Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant, free
from any liability, or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Document or in any other
agreement binding the parties. The receipt of any Award under the Plan is not intended to confer any rights on the receiving Participant
except as set forth in the applicable Award Document.
(c) Nothing
contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation arrangements, and
such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.
(d) The
Company shall be authorized to withhold from any Award granted or any payment due or transfer made under any Award or under the Plan or
from any compensation or other amount owing to a Participant the amount (in cash, Shares, other Awards, other property, net settlement
or any combination thereof) of applicable withholding taxes, social security taxes and any other taxes that are or will be due in respect
of an Award, its settlement or any payment or transfer under such Award or under the Plan and to take such other action (including providing
for elective payment of such amounts in cash or Shares by the Participant) as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy
all obligations for the payment of such taxes.
(e) If
any provision of the Plan or any Award Document is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction,
or as to any person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision
shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the
determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award Document, such provision shall be stricken as
to such jurisdiction, person or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award Document shall remain in full force and effect.
(f) Neither
the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between
the Company and a Participant or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company
pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.
(g) No
fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash or other
securities shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares, or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall
be canceled, terminated or otherwise eliminated.
(h) Awards
may be granted to Participants who are employed or providing services from different jurisdictions, on such terms and conditions different
from those applicable to Awards to Participants who are employed or providing services in different jurisdiction as may in the judgment
of the Committee, be necessary or desirable to recognize differences in local law, tax policy or custom. The Committee also may impose
conditions on the vesting of Awards in order to minimize the Company’s obligation with respect to tax equalization for Participants
on assignments outside their home country.
Section 9. Effective
Date of the Plan. The Plan is effective as of April 29, 2024 (the “Effective Date”).
Section 10. Term
of the Plan. No Award shall be granted under the Plan after the earliest to occur of (i) the ten (10)-year anniversary of the
Effective Date; provided that to the extent permitted by the listing rules of any stock exchanges on which the Company is listed,
such ten (10)-year term may be extended indefinitely so long as the maximum number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan have
not been issued, (ii) the maximum number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan have been issued or (iii) the Board
terminates the Plan in accordance with Section 7(a). However, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable
Award Document, any Award theretofore granted may extend beyond such date, and the authority of the Committee to amend, alter, adjust,
suspend, discontinue or terminate any such Award, or to waive any conditions or rights under any such Award, and the authority of the
Board to amend the Plan, shall extend beyond such date.
Section 11. Section 409A
and Section 457A of the Code. With respect to Awards subject to Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code, the Plan is intended
to comply with the requirements of Section 409A and Section 457A of the Code, and the provisions of the Plan and any Award Document
shall be interpreted in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Section 409A and Section 457A of the Code, and the Plan shall
be operated accordingly. If any provision of the Plan or any term or condition of any Award would otherwise frustrate or conflict with
this intent, the provision, term or condition will be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid this conflict. If an amount payable
under an Award as a result of the Participant’s Termination of Service (other than due to death) occurring while the Participant
is a “specified employee” under Section 409A of the Code constitutes a deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A
of the Code, then payment of such amount shall not occur until six months and one day after the date of the Participant’s Termination
of Service, except as permitted under Section 409A of the Code. If the Award includes a “series of installment payments”
(within the meaning of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations), the Participant’s right to the series of installment
payments shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and not as a right to a single payment, and if the Award includes
“dividend equivalents” (within the meaning of Section 1.409A-3(e) of the Treasury Regulations), the Participant’s
right to the dividend equivalents shall be treated separately from the right to other amounts under the Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the tax treatment of the benefits provided under the Plan or any Award Document is not warranted or guaranteed, and in no event shall
the Company be liable for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest or other expenses that may be incurred by the Participant
on account of non-compliance with Section 409A or Section 457A of the Code.
Section 12. Data
Protection. By participating in the Plan, the Participant consents to the holding and processing of personal information provided
by the Participant to the Company or any Affiliate, trustee or third party service provider, for all purposes relating to the operation
of the Plan. These include, but are not limited to:
(i) administering
and maintaining Participant records;
(ii) providing
information to the Company, Affiliates, trustees of any employee benefit trust, registrars, brokers or third party administrators of the
Plan;
(iii) providing
information to future purchasers or merger partners of the Company or any Affiliate, or the business in which the Participant works; and
(iv) transferring
information about the Participant to any country or territory that may not provide the same protection for the information as the Participant’s
home country.
Section 13. Governing
Law and Dispute Resolution. The Plan and each Award Document shall be governed by the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Company, its
Affiliates and each Participant (by acceptance of an Award) irrevocably submit, in respect of any suit, action or proceeding related to
the implementation or enforcement of the Plan, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in the Cayman Islands.

provided, however, that

to another Affiliate or, unless the Committee determines otherwise, the cessation of employee status but the continuation of the performance
of services for the Company or an Affiliate as a member of the Board or a consultant or other advisor shall not be deemed a cessation
of service that would constitute a Termination of Service; and provided further, that a Termination of Service will be deemed to
occur for a Participant employed by an Affiliate when an Affiliate ceases to be an Affiliate, unless such Participant’s employment
continues with the Company or another Affiliate.
