CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

(1)  For purposes of calculating the filing fee pursuant to Rule 0-11(d), the transaction value of the CAT Shares and CAT ADSs (each CAT ADS represents one CAT Share) to be received by AstraZeneca, assuming acceptance of the Offer by holders in the United States, is calculated as follows: 17,191,000 CAT Shares (including CAT Shares represented by CAT ADSs) in the United States, representing 40% of the entire issued share capital not already owned by AstraZeneca, multiplied by 1,320 pence per CAT Share, the cash consideration being offered per CAT Share, which yields £226,921,210, converted to U.S. dollars at the daily noon buying rate for pounds sterling in New York certified by the New York Federal Reserve Bank for customs purposes on May 15, 2006, of £1=$1.8836, which yields $427,428,792, multiplied by 0.0001070, which yields $45,735. Each of the capitalized terms used is defined in the Offer Document dated May 23, 2006.
