CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

 

Transaction Valuation(1)    Amount of Filing Fee(2)
$317,461,377    $36,858

 

(1) Estimated for purposes of calculating the filing fee only. The transaction valuation was calculated by multiplying the offer price of $3.85 per share of common stock of Orthovita, Inc. (“Orthovita”), par value $0.01 per share, (“Shares”) by 77,028,457 Shares, which is the number of Shares outstanding as of May 13, 2011. The transaction value also includes (i) the excess, if any, of the offer price of $3.85 per Share over the exercise price per share of each outstanding option to acquire Shares from Orthovita with an exercise price less than $3.85 per share, multiplied by the number of outstanding Shares covered by such option, and (ii) the excess, if any, of the offer price of $3.85 per Share over the exercise price per share of each outstanding warrant to acquire Shares from Orthovita, multiplied by the number of outstanding Shares covered by such warrant. As of May 13, 2011, there were 10,114,152 Shares subject to outstanding options to acquire Shares from Orthovita and outstanding warrants to purchase 1,100,000 Shares.

 

(2) Pursuant to Section 14(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, SEC Release No. 34-59850 and SEC press release number 2010-255 (dated December 22, 2010), the amount of the filing fee is equal to $116.10 per $1,000,000 of transaction valuation, calculated by multiplying the transaction valuation by .00011610.
