CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

 

 

Transaction Valuation*   Amount of Filing Fee**
$4,078,890,781.96   $529,440.02

 

 

*

Calculated solely for purposes of determining the filing fee. The calculation of the transaction value is determined by adding the sum of (i) 128,533,733 ordinary shares, par value €0.03 per share, of Wright Medical Group N.V. multiplied by the offer consideration of $30.75 per share, (ii) the net offer consideration for 8,963,533 outstanding stock options with an exercise price less than $30.75 per share (which is calculated by multiplying the number of shares underlying such outstanding stock options by an amount equal to $30.75 minus the weighted average exercise price for such stock options of $23.63 per share), (iii) 1,250,367 shares subject to issuance pursuant to restricted stock units, multiplied by the offer consideration of $30.75 per share and (iv) 787,296 shares subject to issuance pursuant to performance share units, multiplied by the offer consideration of $30.75 per share. The foregoing share figures have been provided by the issuer to the offeror and are as of December 11, 2019, the most recent practicable date.

**

The filing fee was calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Fee Rate Advisory #1 for Fiscal Year 2020, issued August 23, 2019, by multiplying the transaction value by 0.0001298.
