CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

 
Transaction Valuation*
  Amount of Filing Fee**
 
$607,713,805.00   $70,555.57
 
*
Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the amount of the filing fee. This amount assumes the purchase of all 24,426,120 outstanding shares of common stock of Volcom, Inc. (" Volcom "), par value $0.001 per share, at $24.50 per share. The transaction value also includes the aggregate offer price for 1,014,080 shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options with an exercise price less than $24.50 per share, which is calculated by multiplying the number of shares underlying such outstanding options at each exercise price therefor by an amount equal to $24.50 minus such exercise price. This is based on information provided by Volcom as of May 9, 2011, the most recent practicable date.

**
The amount of the filing fee is calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Fee Rate Advisory #5 for the fiscal year 2011, issued December 22, 2010, by multiplying the transaction valuation by 0.00011610.

        This Amendment No. 9 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission " SEC ") on May 11, 2011 and amended on May 19, 2011, May 23, 2011, May 24, 2011, June 3, 2011, June 8, 2011, June 10, 2011 and twice on June 17, 2011 (as amended and supplemented, the " Schedule TO ") and is filed by PPR S.A., a " société anonyme à conseil d'administration " (corporation with a board of directors) organized under the laws of France (" PPR ") and Transfer Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation (" Purchaser ") and wholly owned subsidiary of PPR S.A. The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share of Volcom, Inc., a Delaware corporation (" Volcom "), at $24.50 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated May 11, 2011 and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the " Offer "). The Schedule TO, including the Offer to Purchase, contains important information about the Offer and should be read carefully and entirely by Volcom shareholders before any decision is made with respect to the Offer. The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase and in the related Letter of Transmittal is incorporated by reference in answer to Items 1 through 12.


Items 1, 4, 8 and 11. Summary Term Sheet; Terms of the Transaction; Interest in Securities of the Subject Company; Additional Information.

        Items 1, 4, 8 and 11 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

        "The subsequent offering period under the Offer expired at 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on Wednesday, June 22, 2011 and was not further extended. The Depositary for the Offer advised that, as of such time, an aggregate of approximately 3,692,991 Shares were validly tendered into the subsequent offering period, and Purchaser has accepted for payment all validly tendered Shares. Including those Shares purchased in the initial offering period under the Offer, Purchaser now owns a total of approximately 21,379,147 Shares, representing approximately 87.4% of the outstanding Shares. Payment for all such Shares has been or will promptly be made in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

        In accordance with the Merger Agreement, PPR intends to acquire all remaining Shares and complete the acquisition of Volcom by means of a merger of Purchaser with and into Volcom, whereby Volcom will become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of PPR. In the Merger, each outstanding Share (other than any Shares held by Volcom, PPR, Purchaser and any of their respective subsidiaries, and any Shares held by stockholders who validly exercise their appraisal rights in connection with the Merger under Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive $24.50 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. From and after the Effective Time, all such Shares will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled and will cease to exist, and each holder of a Share will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive for each such Share $24.50 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.

        PPR plans to exercise its Top-Up Option pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement to acquire 15,256,551 newly issued Shares at a purchase price per Share equal to the offer price of $24.50. Following the exercise of the Top-Up Option, PPR expects to complete the Merger on an expedited basis pursuant to the short-form merger procedure available under Delaware law and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. Following the Merger, the Shares will no longer be listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

        On June 23, 2011, PPR and Volcom issued a joint press release announcing the results and expiration of the subsequent offering period under the Offer. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(H), and the information set forth in the press release is incorporated herein by reference."
