CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

 

Transaction Valuation(1) Amount of Filing Fee(2)
$1,471,819,046.35 $191,042.11

(1) Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the amount of the filing fee. Calculated by adding (a) 78,517,282 outstanding shares of Portola Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) common stock, par value $0.001 per share (collectively, “Shares”) multiplied by $18.00, the offer price per Share (the “Offer Price”), (b) 132,255 Shares subject to issuance pursuant to the Company’s 2013 Employee Stock Purchase Plan multiplied by the Offer Price, (c) 2,113,373 Shares issuable pursuant to in-the-money outstanding options with an exercise price less than the Offer Price, multiplied by $6.95 (which is the Offer Price minus the weighted average exercise price for such options of $11.05 per Share), (d) 2,302,191 Shares covered by outstanding restricted stock units and performance stock units (assuming target-level achievement) multiplied by the Offer Price. The calculation of the filing fee is based on information provided by the Company as of May 19, 2020.

 

(2) The amount of the filing fee, calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as modified by Fee Rate Advisory No. 1 for fiscal year 2020, issued August 23, 2019, equals $129.80 per million dollars of the value of the transaction.
