*CALCULATION OF FILING FEE*
| Transaction Valuation(1) | Amount of Filing Fee(2) |
|---|---|
| US$19,234,848,936.21 | US$2,229,318.99 |
(1) Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the filing fee pursuant to Rule 0-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). The Transaction Valuation was calculated assuming the conversion of all outstanding preferred class A shares of Vale, no par value (the Preferred Shares) and all outstanding American Depositary Shares, each representing one Preferred Share (the Preferred ADSs). The Transaction Valuation (estimated solely for purposes of computing the filing fee pursuant to Rule 0-11 under the Exchange Act) is calculated as the sum of (1) 1,967,721,926, the number of Vale Preferred Shares eligible to be converted into common shares of Vale, no par value (the Common Shares), in the offer, multiplied by US$7.51, the average of the high and low prices of the Preferred Shares as reported on the São Paulo Stock Exchange (B3 S.A. - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão, or Bovespa) on June 23, 2017, converted into U.S. dollars based on an exchange rate of R$3.333=US$1.00, the PTAX selling rate as reported by the Central Bank of Brazil (Banco Central do Brasil) on June 23, 2017, and (2) 584,175,265, the number of outstanding Preferred ADSs, as of May 31, 2017, eligible to be exchanged for American Depositary Shares, each representing one Common Share (the Common ADSs), in the offer, multiplied by US$7.63, the average of the high and low prices of the Preferred ADSs as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on June 23, 2017.
(2) The filing fee, calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 of the Exchange Act and Fee Rate Advisory No. 1 for fiscal year 2017, is US$115.90 per US$1 million (prorated for amounts less than US$1 million) of the aggregate Transaction Value. Accordingly, the filing fee is calculated by multiplying the aggregate Transaction Valuation by 0.0001159.
