The transaction valuation was calculated as (i) 28,844,410 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Shares), of Vitae Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Vitae) outstanding multiplied by the offer price of $21.00 per share, and (ii) 2,662,606 Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options with an exercise price less than the offer price of $21.00 per share, multiplied by $12.39, which is the (x) offer price of $21.00 per share minus the weighted average exercise price for such options of $8.61 per share. The calculation of the filing fee is based on information provided by Vitae as of September 22, 2016. |
** | 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 2016, issued August 27, 2015, by multiplying the Transaction Valuation by 0.0001007. |

These factors include, among others, the difficulty of predicting the timing or outcome of FDA approvals or actions, if any; the impact of competitive products and pricing; market acceptance of and continued demand for Allergans products; difficulties or delays in manufacturing; the ability of Allergan to complete the acquisition of Vitae; and other risks and uncertainties detailed in Allergans periodic public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to Allergans Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 (such periodic public filings having been filed under the Actavis plc name).
