CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

 

Transaction Valuation(1)		Amount of Filing Fee(2)
$219,219,756.90		$25,407.57

 

(1)

Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the amount of the filing fee. The transaction valuation was calculated by (i) multiplying the offer price of $10.60 by 21,309,166 Shares, which is the sum of (a) 19,287,957 outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Shares”), of Rightside Group, Ltd. (“Rightside”), (b) 772,896 Shares underlying outstanding in-the-money stock options exercisable under Rightside’s equity plans (the “Options”), and (c) 1,248,313 Shares underlying outstanding restricted stock units, and (ii) subtracting the aggregate exercise price of the Options. This calculation does not include any Shares issuable upon exercise of the Company’s outstanding warrants, as the exercise price per share for the warrants is greater than $10.60 per share. The warrants are therefore not expected to be exercised. The foregoing share figures and aggregate exercise price have been provided by Rightside to the offeror and are as of June 23, 2017, the most recent practicable date.

 

(2)	The filing fee was calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Fee Rate Advisory #1 for fiscal year 2017, issued August 31, 2016, by multiplying the transaction value by 0.00011590.

 

☒	Check the box if any part of the fee is offset as provided by Rule 0-11(a)(2) and identify the filing with which the offsetting fee was previously paid. Identify the previous filing by registration statement number, or the Form or Schedule and the date of its filing.
