Estimated for purposes of calculating the filing fee only. The transaction valuation was calculated by adding the sum of  (i) 32,234,448 outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Shares”), of Mattersight Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Mattersight” or the “Company”), which number includes all Common Shares subject to restricted stock awards of the Company that have vested or are expected to vest, but excludes treasury shares, multiplied by the offer price of  $2.70 per Common Share, (ii) 1,637,786 outstanding shares of 7% Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Shares”, and together with the Common Shares, the “Mattersight Shares”), of Mattersight, multiplied by the offer price of  $7.80 per Preferred Share plus $3,422,972.74, representing the estimated accrued but unpaid dividends on the Preferred Shares, and (iii) 60,000 Common Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding Mattersight stock options with an exercise price less than the offer price of  $2.70 per Common Share, multiplied by $0.15, which is the offer price of  $2.70 per Common Share minus the weighted average exercise price for such options of  $2.55 per Common Share. The calculation of the filing fee is based on information provided by Mattersight as of May 7, 2018.

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 2018, issued August 24, 2017, by multiplying the transaction valuation by 0.00012450.
