The calculation of the filing fee is based on information provided by NHLD as of August 8, 2016.
(2) 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 2016, issued August 27, 2015, by multiplying the transaction value by 0.0001007.

This Amendment No. 2 further amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 12, 2016 (as previously amended and together with any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) relating to the offer by Fortress Biotech, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and FBIO Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Acquisition Sub” and, together with Parent, the “Offerors”), to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.02 per share (“Shares”), of National Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), at a price of $3.25 per Share, net to the seller in cash (less any required withholding taxes and without interest), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated August 12, 2016 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the related Letter of Transmittal (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Letter of Transmittal” and, together with the Offer to Purchase, the “Offer”), which are annexed to and filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively.

This Amendment No. 2 also amends and supplements the initial statement on Schedule 13D, dated May 9, 2016, filed by the Offerors, Opus Point Partners, LLC, Opus Point Partners Management, LLC, Lindsay A. Rosenwald, M.D. and Michael S. Weiss. Except as set forth in this Amendment No. 2, the Schedule 13D is unmodified.

All the information set forth in the Offer to Purchase, to the extent incorporated by reference therein, is hereby amended and supplemented as set forth below.

 

ITEM 11. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following text thereto:

“The offer and withdrawal rights expired as scheduled at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of Friday, September 9, 2016, and the Offer was not extended. Parent was advised by the Depositary that, as of the expiration of the Offer, a total of 7,037,482 Shares had been validly tendered and not withdrawn from the Offer, representing approximately 56% of the aggregate number of Shares then issued and outstanding.

All conditions to the Offer having been satisfied, Acquisition Sub has accepted for payment all Shares that were validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer.

The number of Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer does not satisfy the Merger Condition. Therefore, Parent and Acquisition Sub will not consummate the Merger, and the Company will remain a publicly-traded company.”
