Calculation of Filing Fee
Transaction Valuation* | Amount of Filing Fee** | ||||||
$27,713,010 | $1,089 | ||||||
* | Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the filing fee. The Transaction Valuation was calculated on the basis of (i) the offer price of (x)€7 for each of the 1,718,330 ADSs outstanding; (y)€7 for each of the 791,022 Shares estimated to be held by U.S. holders as of the date hereof within the meaning of Rule 14d-1(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); (z)€31.30 plus unpaid accrued interest for each of the 128,594 OCEANEs estimated to be held by U.S. holders as of the date hereof; and (ii) an exchange rate (using the noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfers in euro as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on October 22, 2008) of $1.2835 for one euro. The unpaid accrued interest to be paid per OCEANE is estimated to be€0.01 per OCEANE based on an estimated settlement date of January 5, 2009 for the Offers (as defined below). The number of Shares and OCEANEs estimated to be held by U.S. holders is based on an assumption, made solely for purposes of calculating the filing fee, that 5% of the 15,820,442 outstanding Shares and 5% of the 2,571,884 outstanding OCEANEs are each held by U.S. holders. The number of ADSs, Shares and OCEANEs outstanding is based on Wavecom S.A.’s (“Wavecom”) Form 6-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 22, 2008 and Wavecom’s Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the Commission on April 8, 2007. | |
** | The filing fee, calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as modified by Fee Advisory No. 7 for the fiscal year 2008, is $39.30 for every $1,000,000 of transaction value. |
