The filing fee was determined based upon the sum of (a) the product of 38,642,729 shares of Tercica common stock and the merger consideration of $9.00 per share of Tercica common stock, (b) the product of options to purchase 6,052,352 shares of Tercica common stock and $2.71 (which is the difference between $9.00 and $6.29, the weighted-average exercise price per share of the options to purchase Tercica common stock with an exercise price below $9.00), and (c) the product of 250,603 shares of Tercica common stock, represented by outstanding Restricted Stock Units, and the merger consideration of $9.00 per share of Tercica common stock represented by such securities.
