CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

 

Transaction Valuation*		Amount of Filing Fee**
$1,339,391,120		$134,876.69***

Calculated solely for purposes of determining the filing fee. The calculation of the transaction value is determined by adding the sum of (i) 50,730,029 ordinary shares, with a nominal value of €0.01 per share, of AVG Technologies N.V. multiplied by the offer price of $25.00 per share, (ii) the net offer price for 2,522,480 shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options with an exercise price less than $25.00 per share (which is calculated by multiplying the number of shares underlying such outstanding options by an amount equal to $25.00 minus the weighted average exercise price for such options of $19.73 per share), (iii) 690,000 shares subject to issuance pursuant to restricted stock units multiplied by the offer price of $25.00 per share and (iv) 1,623,877 shares subject to issuance pursuant to outstanding performance-based restricted stock units multiplied by the offer price of $25.00 per share. The foregoing share figures have been provided by the issuer to the offeror and are as of July 25, 2016, the most recent practicable date.

**	The filing fee was calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Fee Rate Advisory #1 for Fiscal Year 2016, issued August 27, 2015, by multiplying the transaction value by 0.0001007.
