Ladies/Gentlemen:

We have served as counsel for the Wasatch Funds Trust (the “Trust”), which proposes to offer and sell Investor Class shares and Institutional Class shares of beneficial interest, $.01 par value per share, of a new series, the Wasatch International Value Fund^™ (the “Fund” and the shares of the Fund are the “Shares”), in the manner and on the terms set forth in the Trust’s Post-Effective Amendment No. 126 and Amendment No. 128 to its Registration Statement on Form N-1A to be filed on or about November 27, 2024 (the “Amendment”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, respectively.

In connection therewith, we have examined such pertinent records and documents and matters of law as we have deemed necessary in order to enable us to express the opinion hereinafter set forth, including the opinion of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP issued to the Trust and Trust’s counsel upon which we have relied as they relate to the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, resolutions adopted by the Board of Trustees at a meeting held on August 13-14, 2024 (the “Resolutions”), the Trust’s Declaration of Trust dated November 6, 2009 and amendment thereto dated December 30, 2009 (the “Declaration”), the Trust’s Amended and Restated Designation of Series of Shares as filed with the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on September 20, 2024 and the Trust’s Amended and Restated Designation of Classes of Shares as filed with the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on September 20, 2024 (collectively, the “Designations”) and a Certificate of the Secretary of the Trust certifying as to the Trust’s Declaration of Trust, By-Laws as currently in effect, Designations and the Resolutions.

assumed that the Trust’s Declaration, Designations, By-Laws and the Resolutions will not have been amended, modified or withdrawn with respect to matters relating to the Shares and will be in full force and effect on the date of the issuance of such Shares. We understand that all of the foregoing assumptions and limitations are acceptable to you.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

The Shares of the Fund may be issued from time to time in accordance with the Trust’s Declaration, the Trust’s By-Laws, the Designations, the Resolutions and subject to compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, applicable state laws regulating the sale of securities and the receipt by the Fund of a purchase price of not less than the net asset value per Share, and such Shares, when so issued and sold, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, except that, as set forth in the Amendment, shareholders of the Trust may under certain circumstances be held personally liable for its obligations.

This opinion is given as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to update this opinion to reflect any changes in law or any other facts or circumstances which may hereafter come to our attention. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Amendment (File No. 33-10451) relating to the Shares referred to above, to the use of our name and to the reference to our firm in said Amendment. In rendering this opinion and giving this consent, we do not concede that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
