Calculation of Filing Fee

 

Transaction valuation*		Amount of filing fee**
$704,729,817.53		$81,889.60

 

*

Estimated for purposes of calculating the amount of the filing fee only. The calculation assumes the purchase of all issued and outstanding common shares, $0.01 par value, per share (“Shares”), of GrafTech International Ltd., a Delaware corporation (“GrafTech” or the “Company”), at a purchase price of $5.05 per Share in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding tax. As of May 22, 2015, there were 137,240,008 Shares issued and outstanding. The filing fee is calculated based on the sum of (a) the aggregate cash payment for the proposed per Share cash payment of $5.05 for 137,240,008 issued and outstanding Shares other than Shares owned by BCP IV GrafTech Holdings LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Purchaser”), Athena Acquisition Subsidiary Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Acquisition Sub”) and any of their affiliates, or GrafTech and any of GrafTech’s subsidiaries, plus (b) the product of 524,283 Shares issuable under the Company’s outstanding and unexercised options with an exercise price below $5.05, multiplied by $0.81 per Share (which is equal to the difference between $5.05 per share and $4.24, the exercise price of such options), plus (c) the product of the Company’s 2,226,358 outstanding restricted stock units multiplied by $5.05 per share ((a), (b) and (c) together, the “Transaction Valuation”).

**	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 2015, was calculated by multiplying the Transaction Valuation by 0.0001162.

 

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.
