For purposes of calculating the filing fee pursuant to Rule 0-11(d) only, the Transaction Valuation was calculated on the basis of (i) the aggregate of 231,082,041 shares of common stock of Inco Limited (“Inco”), which is the estimated number of outstanding shares of common stock of Inco as of June 16, 2006 assuming full conversion of all outstanding exercisable options, warrants and convertible debentures for shares of common stock and (ii) the tender offer price of Cdn.$86.00 per Share. The Transaction Valuation was converted into U.S. dollars at the rate of U.S.$1.00 = Cdn.$1.1204, which was the rate of exchange reported by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York which appeared on Reuters Screen 1FED at 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on August 10, 2006. |
