CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

Transaction Valuation*	Amount of Filing Fee**
$1,377,877,884.74	$177,470.67

* Estimated for purposes of calculating the filing fee only. The transaction valuation was calculated by adding the sum of (i) 38,812,034 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Valassis Communications, Inc. (“Valassis”) outstanding (including 389,057 unvested restricted Shares) multiplied by the offer price of $34.04 per share and (ii) 3,853,852 Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options with an exercise price less than the offer price of $34.04 per share, multiplied by the offer price of $34.04 per share minus the weighted average exercise price for such options of $19.32 per share. The calculation of the filing fee is based on information provided by Valassis as of December 31, 2013.

** The filing fee was calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Fee Rate Advisory No. 1 for Fiscal Year 2014, issued August 30, 2013, by multiplying the transaction valuation by 0.00012880.
