CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

Transaction Valuation*
Amount of Filing Fee**
$2,383,828,854.00
$276,285.76

*
Estimated for purposes of calculating the filing fee only. The transaction valuation was calculated by adding the sum of (i) 128,623,421 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Shares”), of Kate Spade & Company, a Delaware corporation (“Kate Spade”), outstanding multiplied by the offer price of $18.50 per Share, (ii) 351,250 Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding Kate Spade stock options with an exercise price less than the offer price of $18.50 per Share, multiplied by $11.34, which is the offer price of $18.50 per Share minus the weighted average exercise price for such options of $7.16 per Share and (iii) 16,886 Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding unvested restricted stock units, market share units and performance share units, which is an estimate of the maximum number of restricted stock units expected to vest after May 22, 2017 and prior to the consummation of the offer, multiplied by the offer price of $18.50 per Share. The calculation of the filing fee is based on information provided by Kate Spade as of May 22, 2017.
**
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 2017, issued August 31, 2016, by multiplying the transaction valuation by 0.00011590.

Merger Sub filed the draft applicable notifications on May 25, 2017 (Japan time), with respect to the Offer and then proceeded to the filing of the formal notification with the JFTC on June 2, 2017 (Japan time). The waiting period is scheduled to expire 30 days after the formal notification is submitted (the first day count started on June 3, 2017 (Japan time) and the 30-day period expires on July 2, 2017 (Japan time), unless further shortened by the JFTC).
