Calculation of Filing Fee

 

Transaction valuation*

 

Amount of filing fee**

$163,244,295.00

 

$16,438.70

 


*                                          Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the filing fee. This calculation is based on the offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.20 per share, of SL Industries Inc. (the “Company”), at a purchase price of $40.00 per share in cash, without interest thereon and subject to any required tax withholding. The underlying value of the transaction was calculated based on the sum of: (i) 3,969,560 issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, multiplied by $40.00 per share; (ii) 125,890 shares of common stock of the Company underlying outstanding options with an exercise price that is less than $40.00 per share, multiplied by $16.77 per share (which is equal to the difference between $40.00 and $23.23, the weighted average exercise price of such options); (iii) 43,768 shares of common stock of the Company underlying outstanding restricted stock units, multiplied by $40.00 per share; and (iv) 15,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company, multiplied by $40.00 per share. The foregoing numbers of shares of common stock, options, restricted stock units and restricted shares of common stock have been provided by the issuer to the offeror and are as of the close of business on April 19, 2016, the most recent practicable date. The filing fee was determined by multiplying 0.0001007 by the proposed maximum aggregate value of the transaction of $163,244,295.

 

**                                    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 2016, was calculated by multiplying the transaction valuation by 0.0001007.

 

x                                    Check the box if any part of the fee is offset as provided by Section 240.0-11(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 the date of its filing.
