CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

Transaction Valuation*	Amount of Filing Fee**
$2,383,828,854.00	$276,285.76

*	Estimated for purposes of calculating the filing fee only. The transaction valuation was calculated by adding the sum of (i) 128,623,421 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Shares”), of Kate Spade & Company, a Delaware corporation (“Kate Spade”), outstanding multiplied by the offer price of $18.50 per Share, (ii) 351,250 Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding Kate Spade stock options with an exercise price less than the offer price of $18.50 per Share, multiplied by $11.34, which is the offer price of $18.50 per Share minus the weighted average exercise price for such options of $7.16 per Share and (iii) 16,886 Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding unvested restricted stock units, market share units and performance share units, which is an estimate of the maximum number of restricted stock units expected to vest after May 22, 2017 and prior to the consummation of the offer, multiplied by the offer price of $18.50 per Share. The calculation of the filing fee is based on information provided by Kate Spade as of May 22, 2017.
**	The filing fee was calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Fee Rate Advisory No. 1 for Fiscal Year 2017, issued August 31, 2016, by multiplying the transaction valuation by 0.00011590.

All the information set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including Schedule I thereto, is incorporated by reference herein in response to Items 1 through 9 and Item 11 of this Schedule TO, and is supplemented by the information specifically provided in this Amendment. This Amendment is being filed to reflect certain updates as reflected below.

Accordingly, the condition to the Offer relating to the expiration or termination of the waiting period applicable to the consummation of the Offer or Merger with respect to the Japanese Act on Prohibition of Private Monopolization and Maintenance of Fair Trade (Act No. 54 of April 14, 1947, as amended) has been satisfied. As of June 27, 2017 (Japan time), the Regulatory Condition has been satisfied and all regulatory clearances have been obtained.”

2.	The information set forth in Section 16 — “Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals” of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the paragraph set forth below immediately before the last paragraph in such section:

“Defendants believe that the claims asserted in the various complaints are entirely without merit. However, in order to alleviate the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in litigation and provide additional information to the Kate Spade shareholders, Parent, Merger Sub, Kate Spade and the other named defendants in the complaints signed a memorandum of understanding to settle plaintiff stockholders’ claims, pursuant to which Kate Spade made certain additional disclosures set forth in Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 14D-9 (the “Supplemental Disclosures”). Defendants, including Parent and Merger Sub, deny the allegations of the complaints, and deny any violations of law. With respect to such complaints, Defendants deny that any further supplemental disclosure was required under any applicable rule, statute, regulation or law. Defendants have not admitted wrongdoing of any kind, including but not limited to inadequacies in any disclosure, the materiality of any disclosure that the plaintiffs contend should have been made, or any violation of any federal or state law. Defendants believe that the Schedule TO and the Schedule 14D-9 disclosed all material information, and deny that the Supplemental Disclosures are material, or are otherwise required.”
