$5,209,219,175.00   $603,749

Calculated solely for purposes of determining the filing fee. The calculation of the transaction value is determined by adding the sum of (i) 145,136,214 ordinary shares, par value €0.01 per share, of Patheon N.V. multiplied by the offer consideration of $35.00 per share, (ii) the net offer consideration for 1,747,750 outstanding stock options with an exercise price less than $35.00 per share (which is calculated by multiplying the number of shares underlying such outstanding stock options by an amount equal to $35.00 minus the weighted average exercise price for such stock options of $23.28 per share), (iii) 1,408,018 shares subject to issuance pursuant to restricted share units, multiplied by the offer consideration of $35.00 per share and (iv) 1,705,355 shares subject to issuance pursuant to performance share units, multiplied by the offer consideration of $35.00 per share. The foregoing share figures have been provided by the issuer to the offeror and are as of May 30, 2017, 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 2017, issued August 31, 2016, by multiplying the transaction value by 0.0001159.
