Calculation of Filing Fee

Transaction Valuation*   Amount of Filing Fee**
$1,199,590,287.25   $139,032.51
*
Calculated solely for the purpose of determining the filing fee in accordance with Rule 0-11(b) under the Securities Exchange Act. The filing fee is calculated based on the sum of (a) the proposed cash payment of US$32.50 per ordinary share for 34,541,181 outstanding ordinary shares of the issuer subject to the transaction (which equals the total outstanding ordinary shares less the ordinary shares to be cancelled without consideration (including the ordinary shares held by Premier Education Holdings Ltd)) plus (b) the product of options to purchase 2,407,175 ordinary shares and US$11.87 (which is the difference between the merger consideration of US$32.50 per ordinary share and the weighted average exercise price of US$20.63 per ordinary share) plus (c) the product of 1,490,115 restricted share units and US$32.50 ((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 #2 for Fiscal Year 2017, was calculated by multiplying the Transaction Valuation by 0.0001159.

o 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 of the fee was previously paid. Identify the previous filing by registration statement number, or the Form or Schedule and the date of its filing.
