Calculation of Filing Fee

 

Transaction Valuation***   Amount of Filing Fee****
$ 5,003,073,937.61   $ 545,835.37

 

Not for trading, but only in connection with the listing on the New York Stock Exchange of the American depositary shares (“ADSs”), every 10 American depositary shares representing one ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the issuer (a “DouYu share” and collectively, the “DouYu shares”).

** 

CUSIP number of the ADSs.

***

For purposes of calculating the filing fee only, the transaction value was determined as follows: (1) 33,364,947.90, the Aggregate DouYu Share Sum (as defined below), multiplied by ten (being the number of DouYu’s American depositary shares representing each DouYu share), and then multiplied by (2) $14.995, the average of the high and low prices of the DouYu ADSs trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on November 3, 2020. The “Aggregate DouYu Share Sum” means the estimated maximum number of DouYu shares which Huya will acquire from DouYu shareholders and DouYu ADS holders in exchange for Huya Class A shares and Huya ADSs, respectively, in the Merger, which includes (1) DouYu shares currently held by DouYu shareholders, (2) DouYu shares underlying outstanding DouYu ADS, and (3) DouYu shares underlying DouYu restricted share unit awards held by the applicable grantees directly which have become vested as of the effective time of the merger, and (4) DouYu ADSs to be issued to certain senior management of DouYu as a result of acceleration of vesting of their DouYu restricted share unit awards prior to the effective time of the merger. On November 10, 2020, HUYA Inc. registered the HUYA shares described in the preceding sentence with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a registration statement on Form F-4 (Registration No. 333-250016).

****

The amount of the filing fee, calculated in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 0-11(b)(1) and the Securities and Exchange Commission Fee Rate Advisory #1 for Fiscal Year 2021, was calculated by multiplying the Transaction Valuation by 0.0001091.

 

Check box if any part of the fee is offset as provided by Exchange Act Rule 0-11(a)(2) and identify the filing with which the offsetting fee was previously paid. Identify the previous filing by registration statement number, or the Form or Schedule and date of its filing.

Amount Previously Paid: $545,835.37
