CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

 

Transaction Valuation*   Amount of Filing Fee**
$638,724,395   $64,320
 
* Estimated for purposes of calculating the filing fee only. 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 13, 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.
