CALCULATION OF FILING FEE
Transaction Valuation(1) | Amount of Filing Fee(2) | |
$3,298,666,432.00 | $359,884.51 |
(1) | Estimated for purposes of calculating the amount of the filing fee only. The transaction valuation was calculated by adding the sum of (i) 142,039,199 shares of common stock, par value $0.067751 per share (“Shares”), of The Michaels Companies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Michaels”), issued and outstanding multiplied by the offer price of $22.00 per share, (ii) 6,331,265 Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding restricted stock units multiplied by the offer price of $22.00 per Share, and (iii) the net offer price for options to purchase 3,370,725 Shares with an exercise price less than $22.00 per Share (which is calculated by multiplying the number of Shares underlying such in-the-money stock options by an amount equal to $22.00 per Share minus the weighted average exercise price of $11.76 per Share). The foregoing share figures have been provided by Michaels and are as of March 11, 2021, the most recent practicable date. |
