  $511,409,101.50     $59,375.00

The transaction value also includes the aggregate offer price for 370,000 shares of common stock estimated to be issuable pursuant to outstanding options with an exercise price less than $5.50 per share, which is calculated by multiplying the number of shares underlying such outstanding options by an amount equal to $5.50 minus the weighted average exercise price of such options.
 
(2)   The amount of the filing fee is calculated in accordance with Fee Rate Advisory #5 for Fiscal Year 2011 issued by the SEC, effective December 27, 2010, by multiplying the Transaction Value by 0.00011610.

The subsequent offering period of the Offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Monday, June 20, 2011. According to the Depositary, as of the expiration of the subsequent offering period, a total of approximately 54,744,278 Common Shares were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the Offer (including Common Shares tendered through a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery), which, together with the Sillerman Shares held in a voting trust in accordance with, or otherwise subject to voting arrangements consistent with, the Sillerman Support Agreement, represent approximately 79.7% of all issued and outstanding Common Shares. Offeror has accepted for payment all Common Shares that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the Offer, and payment for such Common Shares will be made promptly, in accordance with the terms of the Offer.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub is exercising its option (the “Top-Up Option”) to purchase, at the Offer Price, a number of newly issued Common Shares (the “Top-Up Shares”) equal to the lowest number of Common Shares that, when added to the number of Common Shares owned by Parent and Offeror, together with the Sillerman Shares held in a voting trust in accordance with, or otherwise subject to voting arrangements consistent with, the Sillerman Support Agreement, immediately prior to the exercise of the Top-Up Option, including all Common Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the Offer, constitutes one Common Share more than 90% of the total number of Common Shares that would be outstanding on a fully diluted basis immediately after the issuance of Common Shares pursuant to the Top-Up Option. The closing of the purchase by Merger Sub of the Top-Up Shares (the “Top-Up Option Closing”) is scheduled to occur on June 21, 2011.
Following the Top-Up Option Closing, Parent intends to effect the Merger on June 21, 2011 in accordance with the short-form merger provisions of the DGCL, without prior notice to, or any action by, any CKx stockholder other than Merger Sub.
On June 21, 2011, Offeror and CKx issued a joint press release announcing the completion of the subsequent offering period and Offeror’s exercise of the Top-Up Option. The full text of the joint press release issued by Offeror and CKx is filed as Exhibit (a)(5)(L) hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
