CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

Transaction Valuation*	Amount of Filing Fee**
$112,605,154	$13,648

* Calculated solely for purposes of determining the filing fee. The transaction value was calculated by adding (a) 17,029,528 shares of issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Papa Murphy’s Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Papa Murphy’s”), multiplied by the offer price of $6.45 per Share, (b) 938,918 Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options to acquire Shares from Papa Murphy’s with an exercise price less than the offer price of $6.45 per share, multiplied by $1.43, which is the offer price of $6.45 per Share less the weighted- average exercise price for such options of $5.02 per Share, and (c) 219,980 Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding time-based and performance- based restricted stock units multiplied by the offer price of $6.45 per Share. The calculation of the filing fee is based on information provided by Papa Murphy’s as of April 22, 2019.

** The filing fee was calculated in accordance with Rule0-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Fee Rate Advisory No. 1 for fiscal year 2019, issued August 24, 2018, by multiplying the transaction value by 0.0001212.

(“Papa Murphy’s”), at a price of $6.45 per Share, without interest, net to the seller in cash, and subject to any required withholding of taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated April 25, 2019, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(A), and in the related letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit (a)(1)(B), and which, together with the Offer to Purchase and other related materials, as each may be amended or supplemented from time to time, constitutes the “Offer”).

Amendments to the Offer to Purchase

Item 11.Additional Information.

Item 11 of the Schedule TO (and Items 1 through 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such items incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase) and the disclosure under Section 16 “Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals” of the Offer to Purchase are hereby amended and supplemented by:

Inserting after the subsection titled “Antitrust Compliance” a new subsection entitled “Certain Litigation” and the disclosure set forth below:

On April 30, 2019, Richard Scarantino, a purported stockholder, filed a putative class action lawsuit challenging disclosures made in connection with the proposed transactions in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The complaint is captioned Scarantino v. Papa Murphy’s Holdings Inc. et al., case number1:19-cv-00791. The complaint names as defendants Papa Murphy’s, Papa Murphy’s Board, Purchaser and MTY. The complaint alleges, among other things, that Papa Murphy’s and Papa Murphy’s Board violated provisions of the Exchange Act by failing to provide in the Schedule14D-9 Solicitation/Recommendation Statement filed by Papa Murphy’s on April 25, 2019 all material information needed by stockholders to make an informed decision whether to tender their Shares. As relief, the complaint seeks, among other things, an injunction against the proposed transactions, rescissory damages should the proposed transactions be consummated, and an award of attorneys’ and experts’ fees. The defendants believe that the claims respectively asserted against them are without merit.

On May 3, 2019, Evan Brown, a purported stockholder, filed a putative class action lawsuit challenging certain disclosures made in connection with the proposed transactions in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint is captioned Brown v. Papa Murphy’s Holdings Inc. et al., case number1:19-cv-03984. The complaint names as defendants Papa Murphy’s and Papa Murphy’s Board. The complaint alleges, among other things, that Papa Murphy’s and Papa Murphy’s Board violated provisions of the Exchange Act by making untrue statements of material fact or failing to provide in the Schedule14D-9 all material information needed by stockholders to make an informed decision whether to tender their Shares. As relief, the complaint seeks, among other things, an injunction against the proposed transactions, rescissory damages should the proposed transactions be consummated, and an award of attorneys’ and experts’ fees. Papa Murphy’s has informed Purchaser and MTY that the defendants believe that the complaint lacks merit.”
