CALCULATION OF FILING FEE
| Transaction Valuation* | Amount of Filing Fee** | |
| $38,449,657,591.00 | $4,456,315.31 |
| * | Calculated solely for purposes of determining the filing fee. The calculation of the transaction value is determined by adding the sum of (i) 335,177,459 common shares, par value €0.20 per share (not including treasury shares), of NXP Semiconductors N.V. multiplied by the offer consideration of $110.00 per share, (ii) the net offer consideration for 9,862,580 shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options with an exercise price less than $110.00 per share (which is calculated by multiplying the number of shares underlying such outstanding options by an amount equal to $110.00 minus the weighted average exercise price for such options of $37.05 per share), (iii) 7,090,302 shares subject to issuance pursuant to restricted stock units multiplied by the offer consideration of $110.00 per share and (iv) 733,897 shares subject to issuance pursuant to outstanding performance-based restricted stock units multiplied by the offer consideration of $110.00 per share. The foregoing share figures have been provided by the issuer to the offeror and are as of November 15, 2016, the most recent practicable date. |
