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,
wilful 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.”
For purposes of the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Articles
of Association, “Indemnified Person” refers to every Director, alternate Director, Secretary or other officer for the time
being or from time to time of the Company.
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 wilful
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
1 “Indemnified Person” means every Director,
alternate Director, Secretary or other officer for the time being or from time to time of the Company.
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.”
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, 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 Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil, on this January 29, 2025.

Vinci Partners Investments Ltd
Dear Sirs
Vinci Partners Investments Ltd. (the Company)
We are lawyers qualified to practise in the Cayman
Islands and have been asked to provide this legal opinion to you with regard to the laws of the Cayman Islands in relation to the Company’s
preparation of a registration statement on Form S-8 under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended upon the exercise of share
options granted under the Plan (as defined in Schedule 1).
For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have
examined the Documents (as defined in Schedule 1). We have not examined any other documents, official or corporate records
or external or internal registers and have not undertaken or been instructed to undertake any further enquiry or due diligence in relation
to the transaction which is the subject of this opinion.
In giving this opinion, we have relied upon the
assumptions set out in Schedule 2 which we have not verified.
Based solely upon the foregoing examinations and
assumptions and having regard to legal considerations which we deem relevant, and subject to the qualifications set out in Schedule 3,
we are of the opinion that under the laws of the Cayman Islands:
| 1 | Existence and Good Standing. The Company is an exempted company duly incorporated with
limited liability, and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands. It is a separate legal
entity and is subject to suit in its own name. |
| 2 | Due Issuance. The shares issued or to be issued by the Company pursuant to the Plan (as defined
in Schedule 1) have been duly authorised and when issued sold and paid for in the manner described in the Plan and in accordance with
the Resolutions (as defined in Schedule 1) (or any resolution or instruction of any director or committee to whom the board of directors
have delegated their powers with respect to administration of the Plan) and when appropriate entries have been made in the Register of
Members of the Company, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. |
Jersey legal services
are provided through a referral arrangement with Harneys (Jersey) which is an independently owned and controlled Jersey law firm.

at the date of this opinion. We have made no investigation of, and express no opinion on, the laws of any other jurisdiction. We
express no opinion as to matters of fact. Except as specifically stated herein, we make no comment with respect to any representations
and warranties which may be made by or with respect to the Company in the Transaction Documents. We express no opinion with
respect to the commercial terms of the transactions the subject of this opinion.

Schedule
2
Assumptions
| 1 | Authenticity of Documents. All original Documents are authentic, all signatures, initials
and seals are genuine, all copies of Documents are true and correct copies and conform in every material respect to the latest drafts
of the same produced to us and, where the Transaction Documents have been provided to us in successive drafts marked-up to indicate changes
to such documents, all such changes have been so indicated. |
| 2 | Unseen Documents. Save for the Documents provided to us there are no resolutions, agreements,
documents or arrangements which materially affect, amend or vary the transactions envisaged in the Documents. |

Qualifications
| 1 | Foreign Statutes. We express no opinion in relation to provisions making reference to
foreign statutes in the Transaction Documents. |
| 2 | Good Standing. The Company shall be deemed to be in good standing at any time if all
fees (including annual filing fees) and penalties under the Companies Act (Revised) have been paid and the Registrar of Companies has
no knowledge that the Company is in default under the Companies Act (Revised). |
| 3 | Conflict of Laws. An expression of an opinion on a matter of Cayman Islands law in relation
to a particular issue in this opinion should not necessarily be construed to imply that the Cayman Islands courts would treat Cayman Islands
law as the proper law to determine that issue under its conflict of laws rules. |
| 4 | Sanctions. The obligations of the Company may be subject to restrictions pursuant to
United Nations and United Kingdom sanctions as implemented under the laws of the Cayman Islands. |

O Conselho de Administração ou o Comitê poderão, ainda, estabelecer um tratamento especial para casos excepcionais, durante a eficácia de cada direito de Opção, desde que não sejam afetados os direitos já concedidos aos Participantes nem os princípios básicos do Plano. Tal tratamento especial não constituirá precedente invocável por outros Participantes. |
3.2. Differentiated Treatments. The Board of Directors or the Committee may treat Participants in a similar situation differently, and is not obliged, by any rule of equality or analogy, to extend to other Participants, any condition, benefit or resolution that it considers applicable only to certain Participants. The Board of Directors or the Committee may also establish special treatment for exceptional cases, during the effectiveness of each Option right, provided that the rights already granted to the Participants and the basic principles of the Plan are not affected. Such special treatment shall not constitute a precedent that can be claimed by other Participants. |
| 3.3. Permanência no Emprego ou Cargo. Nenhuma disposição do Plano, assim como sua simples existência, conferirá aos Participantes garantia de manutenção do vínculo empregatício, de serviço, estatutário ou contratual com a Companhia ou suas Controladas ou interferirá de qualquer modo no direito da Companhia e de suas Controladas, sujeito às condições legais e àquelas do contrato de trabalho ou do contrato de prestação de serviços, conforme o caso, de rescindir a qualquer tempo o relacionamento com o Participante.

| |
|

O Plano constitui negócio oneroso de natureza exclusivamente civil e não cria qualquer obrigação de natureza trabalhista ou previdenciária entre a Companhia ou suas Controladas com os Participantes, sejam eles administradores estatutários ou não ou empregados. Nesse sentido, a participação do Administrador, Empregado ou Prestador de Serviços da Companhia ou de suas Controladas no Plano não interfere na remuneração fixa e variável para ele estabelecida. |
3.4. Absence of Remuneration Character. The Plan constitutes an onerous business of an exclusively civil nature and does not create any labor or social security obligation between the Company or its Subsidiaries with the Participants, whether they are statutory or not administrators or employees.
