Transaction Valuation*   Amount of Filing Fee**
$1,004,672   $101.17

 

* Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the amount of the filing fee. The calculation of the Transaction Valuation assumes that all options to purchase shares of the issuer’s common stock that may be eligible for exchange in the offer will be tendered pursuant to this offer. These options covered an aggregate of 488,394 shares of the issuer’s common stock, and had an aggregate value of $1,004,672 as of November 13, 2015, calculated based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model.
** The amount of the filing fee, calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, equals $100.70 per $1,000,000 of the aggregate amount of the Transaction Valuation (or 0.0001007 of the aggregate Transaction Valuation). The Transaction Valuation set forth above was calculated for the sole purpose of determining the filing fee and should not be used for any other purpose.

SCHEDULE TO

(AMENDMENT NO. 2)

This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule TO amends and supplements the Schedule TO originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 16, 2015, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on November 25, 2015 (the “Schedule TO” ), in connection with the offer (the “Offer”) by Zosano Pharma Corporation (the “Company”) to its eligible employees to exchange outstanding options (the “Eligible Options”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), that were originally granted under the Company’s 2014 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan” ), for new options to purchase the same number of shares of Common Stock to be granted under the 2014 Plan (the “New Options”), at a fixed exercise price per share that is equal to the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock as reported on the NASDAQ Capital Market on the date the New Options are granted, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Exchange Certain Outstanding Stock Options for New Stock Options dated November 16, 2015, as amended November 25, 2015 (the “Offer to Exchange”), and in the related Election Form and Notice of Withdrawal. This Amendment No. 2 is the final amendment being filed in order to report the results of the Offer. Except as amended and supplemented hereby, all terms of the Offer and all disclosure set forth in the Schedule TO remain unchanged.

 

Item 4. Terms of the Transaction.
