On June 1, 2022, Visa issued fixed-rate senior notes in an aggregate principal amount of €3.0 billion with maturities ranging between 4
and 12 years, and interest rates from 1.500% to 2.375%. The net proceeds from the offering of the notes will be used for general
corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, the refinancing of existing indebtedness.
On June 29, 2022, Visa deposited $600 million into its litigation escrow account, which was previously established under the Company's
U.S. retrospective responsibility plan to insulate the Company and class A shareholders from financial liability for certain litigation cases.
This deposit has the same economic effect on earnings per share as repurchasing the Company's class A common stock as it reduces
the as-converted class B common stock share count at a volume-weighted average price of $200.25.
At the closing of the acquisition of Visa Europe in June 2016, Visa Inc. issued convertible participating preferred stock to cover certain
expenses incurred by Visa in defending and resolving multilateral interchange fee-related claims asserted in the UK and Europe. Visa is
required to undertake periodic release assessments to determine if value should be released from the series B and C preferred stock.
The first such release assessment occurred on June 21, 2020, the fourth anniversary of the Visa Europe acquisition. As a result, on
September 24, 2020, Visa released $7.3 billion of the as-converted value from its series B and C preferred stock and issued series A
preferred stock. The second release assessment occurred on June 21, 2022, the sixth anniversary of the Visa Europe acquisition. Visa
announced that it will release approximately $3.5 billion of the as-converted value from its series B and C preferred stock and will issue
series A preferred stock, effective July 29, 2022. This will not affect the fully diluted share count.
