Amount of Filing Fee** |
$5,209,219,175.00 |
|
$603,749 |
* Calculated solely for purposes of determining the filing fee. The calculation of the transaction value is determined by adding the sum of (i) 145,136,214 ordinary shares, par value 0.01 per share, of Patheon N.V. multiplied by the offer consideration of $35.00 per share, (ii) the net offer consideration for 1,747,750 outstanding stock options with an exercise price less than $35.00 per share (which is calculated by multiplying the number of shares underlying such outstanding stock options by an amount equal to $35.00 minus the weighted average exercise price for such stock options of $23.28 per share), (iii) 1,408,018 shares subject to issuance pursuant to restricted share units, multiplied by the offer consideration of $35.00 per share and (iv) 1,705,355 shares subject to issuance pursuant to performance share units, multiplied by the offer consideration of $35.00 per share. The foregoing share figures have been provided by the issuer to the offeror and are as of May 30, 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 #1 for Fiscal Year 2017, issued August 31, 2016, by multiplying the transaction value by 0.0001159.

Forward-Looking Statements
This communication contains forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Words such as believes, anticipates, plans, expects, seeks, estimates, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but other statements that are not historical facts may also be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those indicated by forward-looking statements include risks and uncertainties relating to: the need to develop new products and adapt to significant technological change; implementation of strategies for improving growth; general economic conditions and related uncertainties; dependence on customers capital spending policies and government funding policies; the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on international operations; use and protection of intellectual property; the effect of changes in governmental regulations; and the effect of laws and regulations governing government contracts, as well as the possibility that expected benefits related to recent and pending acquisitions, including the proposed transaction, may not materialize as expected; the proposed transaction not being timely completed, if completed at all; prior to the completion of the transaction, Patheons business may experience disruptions due to transaction-related uncertainty or other factors making it more difficult to maintain relationships with employees, customers, licensees, other business partners or governmental entities; difficulty retaining key employees; the outcome of any legal proceedings related to the proposed transaction; and the parties being unable to successfully implement integration strategies or to achieve expected synergies and operating efficiencies within the expected time-frames or at all. Additional important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements are set forth in Thermo Fishers Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which is on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and available in the Investors section of Thermo Fishers website, ir.thermofisher.com, under the heading SEC Filings, and in any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other documents Thermo Fisher files with the SEC, and in Patheons Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2016 and its subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, including its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended January 31, 2017 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 30, 2017, each of which is on file with the SEC and available in the Investor Relations section of Patheons website, ir.patheon.com, under the heading SEC Filings, and in other documents Patheon files with the SEC. While Thermo Fisher may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Thermo Fisher specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, even if estimates change and, therefore, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing Thermo Fishers views as of any date subsequent to today.
