Based upon the facts you have provided, the SOT would be $495 million and the fee would be $100,000. Please describe
the entire scope of the transaction in Item 3(a), though.
Best regards,

Dear All:
Assume A is buying the stock of B for $420 million. The acquisition will also include the acquisition of US and foreign IP
for an acquisition price of approximately $90 million, with the foreign IP valued at approximately $15 million.
In this context, it seems to me that the appropriate fee would be $100,000 for a March filing. Do you agree?
Thank you.
