CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

 

Transaction Valuation*    Amount of Filing Fee**

$1,687,134,132.09

   $195,538.85

 

  * Estimated for purposes of calculating the filing fee only. The transaction valuation was calculated as the sum of (i) 18,821,231 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), of Tobira Therapeutics, Inc. (“Tobira”) outstanding multiplied by the sum of (x) the price of $28.35 per share and (y) the maximum aggregate contingent cash consideration payment of $49.84 per share, (ii) 3,041,245 Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options with an exercise price less than the price of $28.35 per share, multiplied by $69.70 (which is the price of $28.35 per share plus the maximum aggregate contingent cash consideration payment of $49.84 per share minus the weighted average exercise price for such options of $8.49 per share) and (iii) 51,834 Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding warrants with an exercise price less than the price of $28.35 per share, multiplied by $68.05 (which is the price of $28.35 per share plus the maximum aggregate contingent cash consideration of $49.84 per share minus the weighted average exercise price for such warrants of $10.14 per share). The calculation of the filing fee is based on information provided by Tobira as of September 15, 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 2017, issued August 31, 2016, by multiplying the Transaction Valuation by 0.00011590.
