EXPLANATORY NOTE

This post-effective amendment (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-225826) of Molecular Templates, Inc.

The Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment to amend the chart set forth in footnote (2) to the Calculation of Registration Fee for the Registration Statement, and such chart is hereby amended as follows:

This calculation is made solely for the purpose of determining the registration fee pursuant to the provisions of Rule 457(c) and (h) under the Securities Act as follows: (i) in the case of shares of Common Stock which may be purchased upon exercise of outstanding options, the fee is calculated on the basis of the price at which the options may be exercised; and (ii) in the case of shares of Common Stock for which options and stock-based awards have not yet been granted and the purchase price of which is therefore unknown, the fee is calculated on the basis of the average of the high and low sale prices per share of the Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market as of a date (June 19, 2018) within five business days prior to filing this Registration Statement. The chart below details the calculations of the registration fee:
