CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

 

 

Transaction Valuation*		Amount of Filing Fee**
$469,843,700.95		$43,554.51

 

 

*

Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the filing fee. The transaction value was calculated by adding the sum of (i) 564,293,279, which is the estimated number of issued and outstanding common shares (the “Common Shares”) of Petroteq Energy Inc. (the “Company”), multiplied by $0.5989***; (ii) 3,000,000, which is the estimated number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options with an exercise price less $0.5989, multiplied by $0.5139, which is $0.5989 minus the weighted average exercise price for such options of $0.0850; (iii) 77,304,886, which is the estimated number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding warrants with an exercise price less than $0.5989, multiplied by $0.5128, which is $0.5989 minus the weighted average exercise price for such warrants of $0.0861***; and (iv) 151,452,347, which is the estimated number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding convertible debentures of the Company, multiplied by $0.5989. The foregoing figures are based solely on the information contained in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended May 31, 2021 (as filed on August 19, 2021) and disclosure contained in subsequent filings made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are estimated as of October 22, 2021, 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 No. 1 for Fiscal Year 2022, issued August 23, 2021, by multiplying the transaction value by 0.00009270.

***

$0.5989 is the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the Offer Price of Cdn$0.74, based on the daily exchange rate of the Canadian dollar, expressed in United States dollars, as quoted by the Bank of Canada on October 22, 2021, of U.S.$1.00 = Cdn$1.2357. $0.0861 is the U.S. Dollar equivalent of Cdn$0.1064, which is the weighted average exercise price, based on the daily exchange rate of the Canadian dollar, expressed in United States dollars, as quoted by the Bank of Canada on October 22, 2021, of U.S.$1.00 = Cdn$1.2357.

 

☒	Check box if any part of the fee is offset as provided by 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 the date of its filing.
