CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

 

Transaction Valuation*   Amount of Filing Fee**
$837,066,416.00   $107,814.15

 

* Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the filing fee pursuant to Rule 0-11(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Transaction Valuation was calculated on the basis of (a) 18,197,096 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Annie’s, Inc. (the “Shares”), the estimated maximum number of Shares that may be acquired in this tender offer (representing (i) 17,196,020 Shares issued and outstanding, (ii) 824,997 Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, (iii) 78,399 Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding restricted stock units and (iv) 97,680 Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding performance share units (assuming achievement of the applicable performance metrics at the target level by the holder of each performance share unit)), multiplied by (b) the offer price of $46.00 per Share. The foregoing share figures have been provided by the issuer to the offerors and are as of September 19, 2014, the most recent practicable date prior to commencement of the offer. The transaction value calculation does not take into account the effect of (i) any cash received or deemed received by the issuer in connection with the exercise of any outstanding equity awards or (ii) the actual results of the applicable performance metrics, which will limit the number of shares issuable upon settlement of performance share units.
** The filing fee was calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 under the Exchange Act and equals $128.80 per $1,000,000 of transaction value.
