CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

 

Transaction valuation*   Amount of filing fee*
$8,600,776   $1,043

 

* Estimated for purposes of calculating the amount of the filing fee only. Jerrick Media Holdings, Inc. (“Jerrick” or the “Company”) is offering holders of 61,832,962 of certain of its warrants as more fully described herein the opportunity to exchange such warrants for shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share by tendering one-hundred thousand of the warrants in exchange for fifty thousand shares.  The amount of the filing fee assumes that all outstanding warrants that are the subject of the offer will be exchanged and is calculated pursuant to Rule 0-11(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  The transaction value was determined by using the average of the high and low prices of the Company’s common stock as reported by the OTCQB on April 11, 2019, which was $0.16. The amount of the filing fee, calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11(b) under the Exchange Act, equals $121.20 per million dollars of the transaction valuation.

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 15, 2019 (“Schedule TO”), relating to the offer by Jerrick Media Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) to holders of certain of the Company’s outstanding warrants (the “Warrants”), each with an exercise price of $0.30, to receive an aggregate of 53,754,849 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), by agreeing to receive fifty thousand (50,000) Shares in exchange for every one-hundred thousand (100,000) Warrants tendered by the holders of Warrants (the “Exchange Ratio”). The Exchange Ratio was selected by the Company in order to provide the holders of the Warrants with an incentive to exchange the Warrants. If all of the Warrants are tendered, the Company will issue 26,727,425 Shares.
