The number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), stated
above represents an increase in the total number of shares reserved for issuance under the ev3
Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2005 Incentive Stock Plan (the "Plan"). 6,000,000 shares
have been previously registered under Registration Statements on Form S-8 (File No. 333-125990
and File No. 333-136907). In addition, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may
be issued under the Plan is subject to adjustment in accordance with certain provisions of the
Plan. Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), to the extent additional shares of Common Stock may be issued or issuable
as a result of a stock split or other distribution declared at any time by the Board of
Directors while this Registration Statement is in effect, this Registration Statement is
hereby deemed to cover all such additional shares of Common Stock.

Estimated solely for the purpose of determining the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(h)
under the Securities Act and calculated based on the average of the high and low sales prices
of the Common Stock, as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on September 18, 2007.

The Registrant previously paid a filing fee of $6,550.00 in connection with the Registration
Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-141826) filed by the Registrant on April 3, 2007, for the
registration of $213,325,000 in shares of common stock. Pursuant to Rule 457(p) under the
Securities Act, the Registrant is offsetting $854 of the filing fee due in connection with
this Registration Statement from the $854 portion of the filing fee that was previously paid
in connection with the Form S-3 Registration Statement and associated with the unsold
securities thereunder.
