Do transaction fees increase EV?

Current cap structure:
Debt - $550
Cash - $50
Equity - $500

EV = $1,000

I acquire the company, incur $50 of trx fees and need to keep BS financed with the existing $50. So:

Uses:
Debt/Equity - $1,050
Trx fees - $50
TOTAL USES = $1,100

Sources:
Debt - $700
Equity - $400
TOTAL SOURCES = $1,100

PF Cap Structure:
Debt - $700
Equity - $400
Cash - $50

PF EV = $1,050

It appears EV has gone up by the transaction fees?
