- NOTES

IF YOU HAVE EXECUTED A STANDING PROXY, YOUR STANDING PROXY WILL BE VOTED AS INDICATED IN NOTE 2 BELOW, UNLESS YOU ATTEND THE AGM IN PERSON OR SEND IN A SPECIFIC PROXY.

A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the AGM is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote in his/her stead.

Any standing proxy previously deposited by a shareholder with the Company will be voted in favor of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM unless revoked prior to the AGM or the shareholder attends the AGM in person or executes a specific proxy.

If two or more persons are jointly registered as holders of a share, the vote of the senior person who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of other joint holders. For this purpose, seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand on the Company’s register of shareholders in respect of the relevant shares.

Each Class A Common Share shall entitle the holder to one (1) vote on all matters subject to a vote at general meetings of the Company, and each Class B Common Share shall entitle the holder to ten (10) votes on all matters subject to a vote at general meetings of the Company.

A shareholder holding more than one share entitled to attend and vote at the AGM need not cast the votes in respect of such shares in the same way on any resolution and therefore may vote a share or some or all such shares either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting a share or some or all of the shares and, subject to the terms of the instrument appointing any proxy, a proxy appointed under one or more instruments may vote a share or some or all of the shares in respect of which he is appointed either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting.

No business shall be transacted at the AGM unless a quorum is present. As set out in the articles of association of the Company, one or more shareholders holding not less than one-third in aggregate of the voting power of all shares in issue and entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorized representative, constitutes a quorum of the shareholders. No person shall be entitled to vote at the AGM unless he is registered as a shareholder of the Company on the record date for the AGM nor unless all calls or other sums presently payable by him in respect of such shares have been paid.

PROXY STATEMENT

General

The board of directors of Patria Investments Limited (the “Company” “us” or “we”) is soliciting proxies for the Annual General Meeting of shareholders (the “AGM”) of the Company to be held on June 28, 2023 at 1:00 p.m. (Cayman Islands time). The AGM will be held virtually and at the offices of Patria Investments Limited located at 18 Forum Lane, Camana Bay, 3rd Floor, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands.

On or about June 6, 2023, we first mailed to our shareholders the proxy materials, including the proxy statement, the notice to shareholders of our AGM and the proxy card, along with instructions on how to vote using the proxy card provided therewith. This proxy statement can also be accessed, free of charge, on the shareholders section of Patria’s website at https://ir.patria.com/financials-filings/sec-filings and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Record Date, Share Ownership and Quorum

Only the holders of record of Class A Common Shares (the “Class A Common Shares”) and Class B Common Shares (the “Class B Common Shares” and together with the Class A Common Shares, the “Common Shares”) of the Company as of the close of business (Eastern Time) on May 26, 2023, (the “Record Date”) are entitled to receive notice of and attend the AGM and any adjournment thereof. No person shall be entitled to vote at the AGM unless registered as a shareholder of the Company on the Record Date.

As of the close of business (Eastern Time) on the Record Date, 147,192,930 Common Shares were issued and outstanding, including 54,247,500 Class A Common Shares and 92,945,430 Class B Common Shares. One or more shareholders holding not less than one-third in aggregate of the voting power of all shares in issue and entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorized representative, constitutes a quorum of the shareholders.

Voting and Solicitation

Each Class A Common Share issued and outstanding as of the close of business (Eastern Time) on the Record Date is entitled to one vote at the AGM. Each Class B Common Share issued and outstanding as of the close of business (Eastern Time) on the Record Date is entitled to ten votes at the AGM. Each ordinary resolution to be put to the vote at the AGM will be approved by a simple majority of the votes cast, by or on behalf of, the shareholders attending and voting at the AGM, and each special resolution to be put to the vote at the AGM will be approved by 66⅔% of the votes cast, by or on behalf of, the shareholders attending and voting at the AGM.

Voting by Holders of Common Shares

Common Shares that are properly voted, for which proxy cards are properly executed and returned within the deadline set forth below, will be voted at the AGM in accordance with the directions given. If no specific instructions are given in such proxy cards, the proxy holder will vote in favor of the item(s) set forth in the proxy card. The proxy holder will also vote in the discretion of such proxy holder on any other matters that may properly come before the AGM, or at any adjournment thereof. Where any holder of Common Shares affirmatively abstains from voting on any particular resolution, the votes attaching to such Common Shares will not be included or counted in the determination of the number of Common Shares present and voting for the purposes of determining whether such resolution has been passed (but they will be counted for the purposes of determining the quorum, as described above).

Proxies submitted by registered shareholders and street shareholders (by returning the proxy card) must be received by us no later than 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 27, 2023, to ensure your representation at our AGM.

The manner in which your shares may be voted depends on how your shares are held. If you own shares of record, meaning that your shares are represented by book entries in your name so that you appear as a shareholder on the records of American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (“AST”) (i.e., you are a registered shareholder), our stock transfer agent, this proxy statement, the notice of AGM and the proxy card will be sent to you by AST. You may provide voting instructions by returning a proxy card. You also may attend the AGM and vote in person, subject to our above request that, if you wish to attend in person, you do so virtually. If you own Common Shares of record and you do not vote by proxy or in person at the AGM, your shares will not be voted.

If you own shares in street name (i.e., you are a street shareholder), meaning that your shares are held by a bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee, you are then considered the “beneficial owner” of shares held in “street name,” and as a result, this proxy statement, the notice of AGM and the proxy card will be provided to you by your bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee holding the shares. You may provide voting instructions to them directly by returning a voting instruction form received from that institution. If you own Common Shares in street name and attend the AGM, you must obtain a “legal proxy” from the bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee that holds your shares in order to vote your shares at the AGM and present your voting information card.

Revocability of Proxies

Registered shareholders may revoke their proxy or change voting instructions before shares are voted at the AGM by submitting a written notice of revocation to our Investor Relations Department at PatriaShareholderRelations@patria.com, or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date (which must be received by us no later than the date set forth below) or by attending the AGM and voting in person. A beneficial owner owning Common Shares in street name may revoke or change voting instructions by contacting the bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee holding the shares or by obtaining a legal proxy from such institution and voting in person at the AGM. If you are not planning to attend in person our AGM, to ensure your representation at our AGM, revocation of proxies submitted by registered shareholders and street shareholders (by returning a proxy card) must be received by us no later than 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 27, 2023.

PROPOSAL 1:

APPROVAL AND RATIFICATION OF THE COMPANY’S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE AUDITOR’S REPORT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022

The Company seeks shareholder approval and ratification of the Company’s 2022 audited consolidated financial statements (the “Audited Accounts”) in the form presented at the AGM, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, in respect of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

The affirmative vote by the holders of a simple majority of the votes cast, by or on behalf of, the shareholders attending and voting at the AGM is required for this proposal. If proxies are properly submitted by signing, dating and returning a proxy card, Common Shares represented thereby will be voted in the manner specified therein. If not otherwise specified, and the proxy card is signed, Common Shares represented by the proxies will be voted in favor of this proposal.

The full text of the resolution is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that the Company’s financial statements and the auditor’s report for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2022, which have been made available to the Shareholders for the purpose of the AGM be approved and ratified.”
