CALCULATION OF FILING FEE
Transaction Valuation* | Amount of Filing Fee** | |
$442,110,236 | $51,329 |
* Calculated solely for the purpose of determining the filing fee in accordance with Rule 0-11(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The filing fee is calculated based on the sum of (i) the aggregate cash payment for the proposed per share cash payment of $6.50 for 68,013,595 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of May 27, 2011 (consisting of the 89,722,023 shares of common stock outstanding as of May 27, 2011 minus 21,708,428 shares held by Guoshen Tu, certain management members of the registrant and their respective affiliates (the Rollover Shares)), and (ii) the product of 12,864 shares of common stock underlying outstanding warrants as of May 27, 2011 multiplied by $1.70 per share (which is the difference between $6.50 per share merger consideration and the exercise price of $4.80 per share). The Rollover Shares that are not included in the foregoing calculation have been so excluded because they are being contributed to Rightmark Holdings Limited immediately prior to the consummation of the merger.
** The filing fee, calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Securities and Exchange Commission Fee Rate Advisory #5 for Fiscal Year 2011, is calculated by multiplying the Transaction Valuation by .0001161.
[X] 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.
