CALCULATION OF FILING FEE

Transaction valuation*

Amount of filing fee**

$341,461,670

$41,386

  • Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the filing fee pursuant to Rule 0-11(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The transaction valuation was calculated by adding (i) the product of (A) 17,153,902, which is the difference between 40,853,902, the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per Share ("Shares"), of Speedway Motorsports, Inc. (the "Company") outstanding, and 23,700,000, the number of Shares owned by Sonic Financial Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, and (B) $19.75, which is the per Share tender offer price, (ii) the product of (A) 40,500, which is the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options of the Company outstanding with an exercise price per Share less than the per Share tender offer price, and (B) $3.92, which is the difference between the $19.75 per Share tender offer price and $15.83, the average weighted exercise price of all such options, and (iii) the product of (A) 127,258, which is the number of Shares issuable upon settlement of restricted stock units of the Company outstanding, and (B) $19.75, which is the per Share tender offer price. The calculation of the filing fee is based on information provided by the Company as of August 9, 2019.
  • The amount of the filing fee was calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 of the Exchange Act by multiplying the Transaction Valuation by 0.0001212.
  • Check the 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 fee was previously paid. Identify the previous filing by registration statement number, or the Form or Schedule and the date of its filing.

The information set forth or incorporated by reference in the Schedule TO is hereby incorporated by reference into this Amendment and is amended and supplemented as set forth herein, and each reference to the Schedule TO in any exhibit thereto is hereby deemed to be a reference to the Schedule TO as amended by this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the applicable meanings ascribed to them in the Offer to Purchase.

Items 1 through 9, Item 11 and Item 13

Items 1 through 9, Item 11 and Item 13 of the Schedule TO are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

The Offer and withdrawal rights expired one minute past 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on September 16, 2019. The Depositary has advised Parent and Purchaser that, as of immediately prior to the Expiration Time, a total of 7,414,631 Shares had been validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 64.8% of the 11,434,595 outstanding Shares owned by the Public Stockholders. In addition, Notices of Guaranteed Delivery have been delivered for 3,524,141 Shares, representing approximately 30.8% of the outstanding Shares owned by the Public Stockholders.

The number of Shares that had been validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer (excluding Shares tendered pursuant to Notices of Guaranteed Delivery for which certificates or confirmations of book-entry transfer had not yet been received by the Depositary) immediately prior to the Expiration Time satisfied the Minimum Condition, and all other conditions to the Offer were satisfied or waived. Promptly after the Expiration Time, Purchaser accepted for payment all Shares validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer.

Parent intends to cause Purchaser to consummate the Merger as soon as practicable (and, in any event, no later than September 18, 2019), in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. Prior to the consummation of the Merger, OBS will be merged with and into Parent. At the Merger Effective Time, each outstanding Share (other than Shares held by the Company, any of its subsidiaries, Parent, Purchaser or any other wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, or by any stockholders who have properly exercised their appraisal rights under Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) will be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price of $19.75 in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes. Instructions outlining the steps required to be taken to obtain the Merger Consideration will be mailed to stockholders of the Company who did not tender their Shares in the Offer.

Following consummation of the Merger, Parent intends to cause all Shares to be delisted from NYSE and deregistered under the Exchange Act.

On September 17, 2019, Parent issued a press release announcing the expiration and results of the Offer. The full text of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(v) and is incorporated herein by reference.
