Item 8.01 Other Events.
On October 11, 2024, Visa Inc. (the “Company”) announced new conversion rates applicable to the Company’s class B-1 and B-2 common stock resulting from its September 26, 2024 deposit of $1.5 billion into the U.S. litigation escrow account previously established under the Company’s U.S. retrospective responsibility plan (the “Plan”). Under the terms of the Plan, the conversion rate applicable to the Company’s class B-1 common stock decreased from 1.5875 to 1.5653 and the conversion rate applicable to the Company's class B-2 common stock decreased from 1.5875 to 1.5430, in each case effective as of September 26, 2024.
The conversion rate adjustments have the same effect on earnings per share as repurchasing the Company’s class A common stock. Therefore, the as-converted class B-1 common stock share count was reduced by approximately 107,575 from 7,676,253 to 7,568,678 and the as-converted class B-2 common stock share count was reduced by approximately 5,354,510 from 191,040,105 to 185,685,595. The deposit and conversion rate adjustment calculations were conducted in accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation currently in effect using the volume-weighted average price over the 13-day pricing period from September 24, 2024 through October 10, 2024.
