Dear All

Birkenstock Holding plc (the "Company"): Registration of Shares under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")

Background

1.1

We have acted as the Company’s Jersey legal advisers in connection with the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form F-3ASR, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on 13 February, 2025 (including its exhibits, the "Registration Statement"), and the base prospectus included therein, the preliminary prospectus supplement dated 28 May, 2025 and the final prospectus supplement dated 28 May, 2025, each filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(7) of the Securities Act (collectively, the “Prospectus”) related to the resale by BK LC Lux MidCo S.à r.l. (the "Selling Shareholder") of (i) 17,927,344 ordinary shares of no par value in the capital of the Company (the "Shares") and (ii) up to 2,100,000 additional Shares to cover the underwriters’ option to purchase additional Shares, if any, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (as defined below) (the "Additional Shares").

1.2

The Company has asked us to provide this opinion in connection with the registration of the Shares under the Securities Act (the "Opinion").

1.3

For the purposes of this Opinion, we have, with the Company’s consent, relied upon a certificate and other assurances of directors and other officers of the Company as to matters of fact, without having independently verified such factual matters.

1.4

In this Opinion:

1.4.1

"non-assessable" means, in relation to a Share, that the purchase price for which the Selling Shareholder agreed to sell that Share has been paid in full to the Selling Shareholder, so that no further sum is payable to the Selling Shareholder or its creditors by any holder of that Share solely because of being the holder of such Share;

1.4.2

pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Shares will be sold to the underwriters through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company for the respective account of the underwriters; and
