Calculation of Filing Fee

     
Transaction Valuation   Amount of Filing Fee
$506,132,738*   $59,572**

*Calculated solely for purposes of determining the filing fee. Because the amount to be paid for the securities that may be purchased in the transactions described in this Schedule 13E-3 has not yet been determined, the transaction value was determined based on the market price for the subject securities, using Rule 0-11(a)(4) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, the transaction value was calculated as follows: (i) 8,124,121 ordinary shares of Celanese AG that may be acquired in the transactions described in this Schedule 13E-3, multiplied by (ii) EUR48.25, the average of the high and low prices reported on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on April 8, 2005, multiplied by (iii) 1.2912, the noon buying rate for Euros on April 8, 2005, as reported by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

** The amount of the filing fee, calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Fee Advisory #6 for Fiscal Year 2005, is equal to 0.01177% of the value of the transaction.

Check the box if any part of the fee is offset as provided by §240.0-11(a)(2) and identify the filing with which the offsetting fee was previously paid. Identify the previous filing by registration statement number, or the Form or Schedule and the date of its filing. þ
