CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

 

Transaction Valuation*   Amount of Filing Fee**
$38,449,657,591.00   $4,456,315.31
 
* Calculated solely for purposes of determining the filing fee. The calculation of the transaction value is determined by adding the sum of (i) 335,177,459 common shares, par value €0.20 per share (not including treasury shares), of NXP Semiconductors N.V. multiplied by the offer consideration of $110.00 per share, (ii) the net offer consideration for 9,862,580 shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options with an exercise price less than $110.00 per share (which is calculated by multiplying the number of shares underlying such outstanding options by an amount equal to $110.00 minus the weighted average exercise price for such options of $37.05 per share), (iii) 7,090,302 shares subject to issuance pursuant to restricted stock units multiplied by the offer consideration of $110.00 per share and (iv) 733,897 shares subject to issuance pursuant to outstanding performance-based restricted stock units multiplied by the offer consideration of $110.00 per share. The foregoing share figures have been provided by the issuer to the offeror and are as of November 15, 2016, 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 2017, issued August 31, 2016, by multiplying the transaction value by 0.0001159.
