EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Registration Statement on Form S-8 relating to the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Equity Plan”) and the 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) of Dynatrace, Inc. (the “Registrant”) registers additional securities of the same class as other securities for which a registration statement filed on Form S-8 (File No. 333-232950) of the Registrant is effective.

The number of shares reserved under the Equity Plan is subject to an automatic increase or evergreen provision on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning on April 1, 2020 and continuing on each April 1 thereafter, by an amount equal to the lesser of: (a) 4% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding March 31; and (b) an amount determined by the Registrant’s board of directors.

The number of shares reserved and available for issuance under the ESPP is subject to an automatic increase or evergreen provision on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning on April 1, 2020 and continuing on each April 1 thereafter, by an amount equal to the lesser of: (a) 1% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on the immediately preceding March 31; (b) 3,500,000 shares of Common Stock; and (c) such other amount as may be determined by the Registrant’s board of directors.

As of March 31, 2023, the Registrant had 290,411,108 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

Accordingly, this Registration Statement registers an additional 11,616,444 shares of Common Stock that became available for grant and issuance under the Equity Plan pursuant to its evergreen provision, and an additional 2,904,111 shares of Common Stock that became available for grant and issuance under the ESPP pursuant to its evergreen provision, in both cases as of April 1, 2023.

Re:    Securities Being Registered under Registration Statement on Form S-8

We have acted as counsel to you in connection with your filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on or about the date hereof relating to an aggregate of 14,520,555 shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of Dynatrace, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), that may be issued pursuant to the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, and the Company’s 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (collectively, the “Plans”).

We have reviewed such documents and made such examination of law as we have deemed appropriate to give the opinion set forth below. We have relied, without independent verification, on certificates of public officials and, as to matters of fact material to the opinion set forth below, on certificates of officers of the Company.

The opinion set forth below is limited to the Delaware General Corporation Law.

For purposes of the opinion set forth below, we have assumed that no event occurs that causes the number of authorized shares of Common Stock available for issuance by the Company to be less than the number of then unissued Shares.

Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and, upon issuance and delivery against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Plans, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

This opinion letter and the opinion it contains shall be interpreted in accordance with the Core Opinion Principles as published in 74 Business Lawyer 815 (Summer 2019).
