Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Swiss law authorizes a corporation to indemnify past and present directors and officers of the corporation and any other individual who acts or acted at the corporation’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgement, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the corporation or other entity, and the corporation may advance moneys to such indemnified persons. The foregoing indemnification is prohibited under Swiss law unless (i) the individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation or, as the case may be, to the best interests of any other entity for which the individual acted as a director or officer or in a similar capacity at the corporation’s request and (ii) if the matter is a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds for believing that the individual’s conduct was lawful.

Our Articles of Association provide that we shall indemnify directors and officers.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and certain executive officers, which provide, among others, that we will indemnify each such individual to the fullest extent permitted by law and as permitted by Swiss law from and against all judgements, penalties, fines or settlements to which he or she may be liable, and expenses that he or she may actually and reasonably incur, as a result of his or her actions in the exercise of his or her duties as director or officer; provided, that we shall not indemnify such individual if, among others, he or she did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to our best interests and, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful.

We maintain insurance policies relating to certain liabilities that our directors and officers may incur in such capacity.

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 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; and

(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;

provided, however, 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 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 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 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, 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.

Section 8.Manner of Exercise and Settlement.

8.2Notice of Exercise. Subject to (i) the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (ii) receipt by the Company of any documentation requested by it in connection with the issue and transfer of the ListCo Option Shares, the ListCo Options may be exercised by delivery of a validly signed Exercise Notice from the Optionholder to the Company, together with payment by the Optionholder of: (i) the ListCo Option Strike Price and (ii) any income tax and employee social security (or equivalent in the relevant jurisdiction) which the Group is required to withhold and account to the tax authorities on the Optionholder’s behalf arising on such exercise.

8.3Deliveries. The Exercise Notice described in Section 8.2 shall, at the request of the Company, be accompanied by (i) any form or election as is required to satisfy the requirements of any tax laws or regulations applicable to the Company or Optionholder from time to time or (ii) to the extent the Optionholder has UK taxable employment income, an election within Section 431 of the UK Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 in order to treat the ListCo Option Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of the ListCo Options as if such shares were not Restricted Securities (for UK tax purposes only).

Section 9.Miscellaneous.

9.1Protection of Goodwill. The Optionholder and the Company wish to maintain in a substantially similar form the undertakings previously agreed to by the Optionholder, which the Optionholder adhered to in connection with the GB Option Agreement. The Optionholder hereby undertakes to the Company that:

(a)for so long as he is employed by or engaged as a consultant to or director of any member of the Group he will, during normal business hours and such other hours as may be reasonably required, devote his full time and attention to the business of the Group and will use all reasonable endeavours to develop the business and interests of the Group and will use all reasonable endeavours to procure that such business is developed and expanded through the Group and shall not be concerned with, engaged or interested in, any other business whether or not in competition with any business carried on by the Group;

(b)he will not, directly or indirectly, at any time prior to, nor during the period of 24 calendar months from the Cessation Date (the “Non-Compete Period”):

(i)solicit or entice away, or endeavour to solicit or entice away, or cause to be solicited or enticed away from the Company or any other Group Company; or

(ii)employ or engage, or endeavour to employ or engage or causing to be employed or engaged,

any person who was at the Cessation Date, or who at any time during the period of 12 calendar months prior to the Cessation Date had been, an employee of or consultant to the any member of the Group (and with whom the Optionholder had dealings (other than in a de minimis way) during such 12 calendar month period) whether or not such person would commit a breach of his employment contract by reason of leaving service, save that this Section 9.1 shall not apply to any employee or consultant engaged in a non-managerial or purely administrative role;

(c)he will not, directly or indirectly, in any jurisdiction where the Group has material revenues from time to time (to the extent he has been involved, other than in a de minimis way, with the activities of the Group in such geographies) at any time during the period of 24 calendar months from the Cessation Date engage in; or be concerned or interested in, any business carried on in competition or will or is likely to compete with the business of the Group or any other activities of any member of the Group with which he was associated at any time during the period of 12 calendar months prior to the Cessation Date;

(d)he will not, directly or indirectly, at any time during the period of 24 calendar months from the Cessation Date:

(i)solicit the custom of or seek to do business with or deal with any customer or supplier to the any member of the Group with whom he had any dealings (other than in a de minimis way) at any time during the period of 12 calendar months prior to the Cessation Date so as to compete with or harm the goodwill of any member of the Group during such period or in any other way interfere or endeavour to interfere with the continuance of supplies to the Company and/or any member of the Group from such a supplier;

(ii)interfere (or endeavour to interfere) with either the continuance of supplies to the any member of the Group (or the terms relating to those supplies) by any

customer or supplier or the relations between any member of the Group and any such customer or supplier; or

(iii)be employed by or provide consultancy services to any major customer of any member of the Group with whom he had any dealings (other than in a de minimis way) at any time during the period of 12 calendar months prior to the Cessation Date,

(e)if at any time during the time he is employed by or engaged as a consultant to or director of any member of the Group, two or more Optionholders or any three or more employees or consultants of the Group (such three including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Optionholder(s)) shall have left the employment of the Group or ceased to provide services to the Group in order to work for or provide services to a competitor of the Group or otherwise, the Optionholder will not be employed or engaged in any way with such persons; and

(f)he will not, directly or indirectly, make or publish or otherwise communicate any disparaging or derogatory statement in writing or otherwise which is intended to or which might be expected to damage or lower the reputation of the Group, any customer/supplier, any agent/representative, any investor/finance provider or any director, officer or employee of any such entity,

provided that nothing contained in this Section 9.1 shall prevent the Optionholder from being the holder or beneficial owner, by way of bona fide personal investment, of any class of securities in any company if such class of securities is listed, or dealt in, on a “Recognised Investment Exchange” as defined in section 285(1) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 provided that he (together with his spouse and his lineal descendants by blood or adoption) neither holds nor is beneficially interested in more than a total of 5% of any single class of the securities in that company and is in compliance with Section 9.1.

9.2Enforcement of Undertakings. The Optionholder (having taken independent legal advice) acknowledges and agrees that the undertakings contained in Section 9.1 are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the legitimate interests of the Group and that these restrictions do not work harshly on him. It is nevertheless agreed that, if any such undertaking shall be found to be void but would be valid if some part were deleted, then such undertaking shall apply with such deletions and/or modifications as may be necessary to make it valid and enforceable. Any breach by the Optionholder of Section 9.1 will entitle such Optionholder’s employer to summarily dismiss him from his employment whereupon such individual shall be treated as a “Leaver” for the purposes of this Agreement.

9.3Reorganisation. In the event that, between the Listing Date and the date on which the ListCo Options are exercised by the Optionholder in accordance with this Agreement, the Company wishes to implement a distribution, reorganization or other step which, in each case, results in a change to its capital structure, such steps shall be implemented or appropriate amendments shall be made to this agreement to ensure that the Optionholder’s rights and economic interest hereunder are effectively maintained, including any corresponding adjustment required to the ListCo Option Strike Price. The parties agree to cooperate in good faith in order to allow for such steps to be implemented.

9.4Tax. Tax arising on vesting of the ListCo Options and on exercise of the ListCo Options in accordance with Section 5 shall be paid by the Optionholder as and when due and the Optionholder agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company for any tax charges that arise in connection with such vesting and/or exercise of the ListCo Options.

9.5No Sale or Transfer. The Optionholder may not sell, transfer, assign, exchange, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose (directly or indirectly) of any ListCo Options or any portion thereof. Any attempted sale, transfer, assignment, exchange, pledge or other disposition of the ListCo Options (whether direct or indirect) will be void ab initio.

9.6Non-Exclusivity. The terms of this Agreement shall not be construed as amending, modifying or rescinding any previously approved incentive arrangement or as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the granting of share options otherwise than in accordance with this Agreement, and such arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit in any way the right of the Company or any Group Company to terminate the employment of or the provision of services by any person at any time or be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied, that the Company will pay any person at any particular rate of compensation for any particular period of time.

9.8Acknowledgment. The Optionholder hereby acknowledges that the Optionholder has reviewed this Agreement and understands the Optionholder’s rights and obligations thereunder and hereunder.

Each of the parties therefore agrees that in the event of a breach or any threat of breach, the other parties shall be entitled to seek an immediate injunction and restraining order to prevent such breach, threatened breach or continued breach, and/or compelling specific performance of the Agreement, without having to prove the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy or balancing the equities between the parties. Such remedies shall be in addition to any other remedies (including monetary damages) to which the other parties may be entitled at law or in equity. Each party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy.

The remainder of such Tranche and any other Tranche which has not yet Vested shall lapse.

8.2If an Award Holder ceases to be an Employee for a Bad Reason, all Tranches of such Award Holder’s Award which have not yet Vested shall lapse with immediate effect on the Cessation Date.

1.1In the event of a Change of Control, the Board may in its absolute discretion decide whether and to what extent each Tranche of an Award that has not Vested shall Vest on an accelerated basis.

9.2The Board shall notify Award Holders of any accelerated Vesting pursuant to Rule 9.1 within a reasonable period.

9.3The Board may decide that the accelerated Vesting pursuant to Rule 9.1 shall be conditional on the Change of Control actually occurring and shall be treated as having not occurred if the Change of Control does not occur.

9.4In the event that there is a Change of Control (with or without the Company being delisted) but the Award Holder’s Awards have not Vested pursuant to Rule 10.1 or the Award Holder’s Award Certificate, and the Award Holder does not receive an offer to sell or tender his or her Shares which are the subject of his or her Awards in connection with such Change of Control: (i) any applicable Performance Conditions attached to those Awards shall be deemed to be satisfied upon such Change of Control, (ii) the Vesting schedule applicable to such Awards shall continue and (iii) upon Vesting, the Company shall settle or repurchase any Vested Awards in cash at the price per Share implied by the Change of Control transaction provided that no Cessation Date has occurred in respect of the Award Holder.

9.5In the event that the Company is delisted without a Change of Control, the Company shall settle or repurchase any Vested Awards in cash at an amount per Share equal to the fair value of a Share, as determined by the Board in good faith having regard to all factors it deems relevant, which may include but not be limited to the most recently prevailing market price for the Shares and the reasons for the delisting. In respect of any Awards which have not Vested prior to delisting: (i) any applicable Performance Conditions attached to those Awards shall be deemed to be satisfied upon delisting, (ii) the Vesting schedule applicable to such Awards shall continue (unless the Vesting of each Tranche of an Award has automatically accelerated pursuant to Rule 10.1 so that each Tranche shall Vest on the date of such delisting) and (iii) cash settlement or repurchase of such Awards shall only be required to take place once such Awards have Vested and provided that no Cessation Date has occurred in respect of the Award Holder.

10.MALUS AND CLAWBACK

10.1Unless otherwise stated in an Award Certificate, Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to the malus and clawback provisions set forth in this Rule 10 (Malus and Clawback) if the Board, at its discretion, determines that:

(a)an Award Holder has breached Rule 15; or

(b)any of the circumstances set out in Rule 10.2 exist.

29

The Board must inform the Award Holder that is believes there are potential grounds for making a determination under this Rule 10.1 within six months of becoming aware of the applicable circumstances (and the Board must make its final determination under this Rule 10.1 within three years of becoming aware of the applicable circumstances in Rule 10.2).

10.2The circumstances referred to in Rule 10.1(b) include where:

(a)an Award Holder has acted fraudulently or in a materially dishonest manner (of which a Group Company has reasonable evidence);

(b)is in breach of any material fiduciary duty owed to any Group Company as defined or set out in or pursuant to Swiss law (including, without limitation, a duty of care towards the relevant Group Company, a duty of confidentiality and a duty of loyalty / non-competition) or any restrictive covenant given in favour of any Group Company;

(c)an Award Holder has breached his or her Employment Contract in a manner which gives rise to a legal right to dismiss the Award Holder and the Award Holder has been dismissed as a result; or

(d)there was a material error in determining (i) the size and nature of an Award, (ii) whether an Award should be made, (iii) whether any Performance Condition was satisfied, or (iv) otherwise whether an Award should Vest, in each case due to any Group Company being required to make a restatement of the audited or unaudited financial statements or similar (where fraud or wilful misconduct contributed directly or indirectly to the facts or circumstances requiring such restatement) and such restatement would have impacted the matters set out in (i) to (iv) above.

10.3If the Board makes a positive determination under Rule 10.1, the following malus and clawback provisions shall apply:

(a)if, at the date of such determination, the Tranche has not yet Vested, the Board may determine to cancel the Tranche or reduce it by such number of Shares as the Board considers to be fair and reasonable, taking account of all circumstances that the Board considers to be relevant; or

(b)if, at the date of such determination, Shares have actually been allotted and issued (or transferred) under a Vested Tranche, the Board may determine a Clawback Amount in relation to the Tranche in accordance with Rule 11 (Clawback Amount).

30

11.CLAWBACK AMOUNT

11.1As contemplated by Rule 10.3(b), the Board may require an Award Holder to repay amounts as a result of the application of Rule 10 (Malus and Clawback) in relation to one or more Tranches (the Clawback Amount). The Clawback Amount shall be such amount as the Board considers to be fair and reasonable, taking account of all circumstances that the Board considers to be relevant, but, in relation to a Vested Tranche, shall be no more than the greater of:

(a)the Market Value of the Shares measured on the Vesting Date; and

(b)the Market Value of the Shares measured on the date of the determination.

Global Blue Group Holding AG –Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen

We, Niederer Kraft Frey AG, have acted as special Swiss counsel to Global Blue Group Holding AG, a Swiss corporation (Company), in connection with the Registration Statement on Form S−8 (Registration Statement), initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) on October 7, 2021 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Act), relating to the registration with the Commission of registered shares, nominal value CHF 0.01 each, of the Company (each a Share and together Shares).

In our capacity as special Swiss counsel to the Company, we have been requested to render an opinion as to certain Swiss legal matters relating to the registration of up to 11,956,527 Shares that may be issued in the future.

1.Basis of Opinion

This opinion is confined to and given on the basis of the laws of Switzerland in force at the date hereof. Such laws and the interpretation thereof are subject to change. In the absence of explicit statutory law, we base our opinion solely on our independent professional judgment. This opinion is also confined to the matters stated herein and the Documents (as defined below), and is not to be read as extending, by implication or otherwise, to any agreement or document referred to in any of the Documents (including in the case of the Registration Statement, any document incorporated by reference therein or exhibit thereto) or any other matter.

For purposes of this opinion we have not conducted any due diligence or similar investigation as to factual circumstances, which are or may be referred to in the Documents, and we express no opinion as to the accuracy of representations and warranties of facts set out in the Documents or the factual background assumed therein.

For purposes of giving this opinion, we have only examined and relied on originals or copies of the following documents available to us (collectively Documents):

i.the Registration Statement;

ii.a certified copy of the articles of association of the Company, in their version dated September 23, 2021 (Articles), certified as per October 06, 2021; and

iii.a certified excerpt from the Commercial Register of the Canton of Zurich (Commercial Register) for the Company, dated October 06, 2021.

No documents have been reviewed by us in connection with this opinion other than the Documents. Accordingly, we shall limit our opinion to the Documents and their legal implications under Swiss law.

In this opinion, Swiss legal concepts are expressed in English terms and not in their original language. These concepts may not be identical to the concepts described by the same English terms as they exist under the laws of other jurisdictions. With respect to Documents governed by laws other than the laws of Switzerland, for purposes of this opinion we have relied on the plain meaning of the words and expressions contained therein without regard to any import they may have under the relevant governing law.

2.     Assumptions

In rendering the opinion below, we have assumed the following:

a.the information set out in the Documents is true, accurate, complete and up-to-date as of the date of this opinion and no changes have been made or will be made that should have been or should be reflected in the Documents as of the date of this opinion;

b.the Documents produced to us as originals are authentic and complete, and all documents produced to us as copies (including, without limitation, fax and electronic copies) are accurate and conform to the original;

c.all Documents produced to us as originals and the originals of all documents produced to us as copies were duly executed and certified, as applicable, by the individuals purported to have executed or certified, as the case may be, such Documents;

d.no laws other than those of Switzerland will affect any of the conclusions stated in this opinion; and

e.the Shares will be issued out of the authorized share capital provided for in Article 4d of the Articles (Authorized Share Capital) and a duly convened meeting of the Board of Directors will have validly resolved to issue them, they will be fully paid up (liberiert) and registered in the competent Commercial Register in Switzerland and all other requirements under Swiss law in connection with the creation and issuance of such Shares will have been complied with.

3.     Opinion

Based upon the foregoing, in reliance thereon, and subject to the limitations and assumptions referred to above (2.) and the qualifications set out below (4.), we are of the following opinion:

1.The Company is a corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) validly existing under the laws of Switzerland.

2.The Shares, if and when issued by the Company, in accordance with Swiss law and the Articles, and registered in the competent Commercial Register in Switzerland will be validly issued, fully paid as to their nominal value and non-assessable (i.e., no further contributions in respect thereof will be required to be made to the Company by the holders thereof, by the sole reason of their being a holder of Shares).

4.     Qualifications

The above opinions are subject to the following qualifications:

a.The opinions set out above are subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, moratorium, civil procedure and other similar laws and regulations as applicable to creditors, debtors, claimants and defendants generally as well as principles of equity (good faith) and the absence of a misuse of rights.

b.Our opinions set out above are limited solely to the laws of Switzerland and we express no opinion herein concerning the laws of any other jurisdiction.

c.We express no opinion as to any commercial, accounting, calculating, auditing or other non-legal matter as well as to the completeness or accuracy of the information contained in the Registration Statement. We express no opinion as to tax matters.

d.The exercise of voting rights and rights related thereto with respect to any Shares is only permissible after registration in the Company’s share register as a shareholder with voting rights in accordance with the provisions of, and subject to the limitations provided in, the Articles.

e.We express no opinion as regards compliance with Swiss law and the Articles of the withdrawal of the preferential subscription rights (Bezugsrechte) of the Company’s shareholder in connection with the issuance of the Shares.

f.The resolutions of the Company’s general meetings may be challenged by shareholders in court or otherwise. Therefore, notwithstanding registration of the Shares with the competent Commercial Register, any shareholder may challenge the resolutions taken by the general meeting of the shareholders’ of the Compan on which such registration of the Shares with the competent Commercial Register may be based.

g.The Authorized Share Capital contained in the Articles authorizes the Board of Directors to issue up 70,289,834 Shares until August 27, 2022. The issue of Shares in excess of such maximum

amount or after August 27, 2022 requires an amendment of the Articles by way of a resolution of a duly convened general meeting of shareholders of the Company.

h.We express no opinion on the issue of Shares (i) for other purposes out of the Authorized Share Capital and (ii) for the issue of Shares out of conditional share capital provided for employee share plans and convertible debt instruments under Article 4c of the Articles.

* * *

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to us under the heading "Legal Matters" in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required pursuant to Section 7 of the Act.

Sincerely yours,

Niederer Kraft Frey AG
