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. |

The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Papa Murphy’s Board violated its fiduciary duties under Delaware law by failing to provide in the Schedule14D-9 all material information needed by stockholders to make an informed decision whether to tender their shares or seek appraisal. 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 complaint lacks merit.
