Visa Inc. reported that on September 25, 2025 it deposited $500 million into its U.S. litigation escrow account under the company's U.S. retrospective responsibility plan. That deposit triggered adjustments to the conversion rates for its class B-1 and B-2 common stock, lowering the B-1 rate from 1.5609 to 1.5549 and the B-2 rate from 1.5342 to 1.5223, effective September 25, 2025. Because those conversion-rate changes reduce the number of shares on an as-converted basis, the as-converted B-1 share count fell by approximately 28,885 to 7,518,496 and the as-converted B-2 share count fell by approximately 1,437,724 to 183,187,821. The company states the adjustments have the same effect on earnings per share as repurchasing class A common stock. Calculations used the 5-day volume-weighted average price from September 18–24, 2025 as required by the certificate of incorporation.

Visa Inc. ha riportato che il 25 settembre 2025 ha depositato $500 milioni nel suo conto escrow statunitense per contenziosi nell'ambito del piano di responsabilità retrospettiva dell'azienda. Tale deposito ha provocato adeguamenti ai tassi di conversione delle sue azioni ordinarie di tipo B-1 e B-2, abbassando il tasso B-1 da 1.5609 a 1.5549 e il tasso B-2 da 1.5342 a 1.5223, efficaci dal 25 settembre 2025. Poiché tali modifiche dei tassi di conversione riducono il numero di azioni su base "as-converted", il conteggio azionario as-converted di B-1 è sceso di circa 28.885 a 7.518.496 e quello di B-2 di circa 1.437.724 a 183.187.821. L'azienda afferma che le modifiche hanno lo stesso effetto sull'utile per azione che un riacquisto di azioni ordinarie di classe A. I calcoli hanno utilizzato il prezzo medio ponderato per volume di 5 giorni dal 18 al 24 settembre 2025 come previsto dall'atto costitutivo.

Visa Inc. informó que el 25 de septiembre de 2025 depositó $500 millones en su cuenta de escrow de litigios en EE. UU. conforme al plan de responsabilidad retrospectiva de la empresa.

Debido a que esos cambios de tasa de conversión reducen el número de acciones en base "as-converted", el recuento de acciones as-converted de B-1 cayó en aproximadamente 28.885 a 7.518.496 y el de B-2 cayó en aproximadamente 1.437.724 a 183.187.821.

Visa Inc.는 2025년 9월 25일 미국 소송 에스크로 계좌에 미화 $500 million을 예치했다고 보고했습니다. 이는 회사의 미국 소급 책임 계획에 따른 것입니다. 이 예치로 B-1 및 B-2 보통주의 전환율이 각각 B-1은 1.5609에서 1.5549로, B-2는 1.5342에서 1.5223으로 조정되어 2025년 9월 25일부로 발효되었습니다. 이러한 전환율 변화로 'as-converted' 기준 주식 수가 감소하였으므로 B-1의 as-converted 주식 수는 약 28,885줄어들어 7,518,496주가 되었고 B-2는 약 1,437,724줄어들어 183,187,821주가 되었습니다. 회사는 이 조정이 A클래스 일반주를 자사주 매입하는 것과 같은 EPS 효과를 가져온다고 밝혔습니다. 계산은 회사 정관에 따라 2025년 9월 18일~24일의 5영업일 간 거래가중평균가(VWAP)를 사용했습니다.

Visa Inc. a annoncé que le 25 septembre 2025 elle a déposé 500 millions de dollars sur son compte séquestre américain pour litiges dans le cadre du plan de responsabilité rétrospective de l’entreprise. Ce dépôt a entraîné des ajustements des taux de conversion de ses actions ordinaires de classe B-1 et B-2, réduisant le taux B-1 de 1,5609 à 1,5549 et le taux B-2 de 1,5342 à 1,5223, avec effet au 25 septembre 2025. Comme ces changements de taux de conversion diminuent le nombre d’actions sur une base « as-converted », le nombre d’actions as-converted de B-1 a chuté d’environ 28 885 à 7 518 496 et celui de B-2 d’environ 1 437 724 à 183 187 821. L’entreprise déclare que les ajustements ont le même effet sur le bénéfice par action que le rachat d’actions ordinaires de classe A.

Visa Inc. berichtete, dass am 25. September 2025 sie 500 Millionen US-Dollar auf ihr amerikanisches Treuhandkonto für Rechtsstreitigkeiten im Rahmen des Rückwirkungsplans des Unternehmens eingezahlt hat. Diese Einzahlung führte zu Anpassungen der Umtauschkurse für die Stammaktien der Klassen B-1 und B-2, wodurch der Umtauschkurs B-1 von 1,5609 auf 1,5549 und der Umtauschkurs B-2 von 1,5342 auf 1,5223 zum 25. September 2025 reduziert wurde. Da diese Änderungen der Umtauschkurse die Anzahl der Aktien auf Basis "as-converted" verringern, fiel die as-converted-B-1-Aktienanzahl um ca. 28.885 auf 7.518.496 und die as-converted-B-2-Aktienanzahl um ca. 1.437.724 auf 183.187.821. Das Unternehmen erklärt, dass die Anpassungen denselben Effekt auf den Gewinn pro Aktie haben wie der Rückkauf von Class-A-Stammaktien. Die Berechnungen verwendeten den 5-Tage-Volumen-gewichteten Durchschnittspreis (VWAP) vom 18. bis 24. September 2025, wie es die Satzung vorschreibt.

أفادت Visa Inc. بأنها في 25 سبتمبر 2025 أودعت $500 مليون في حسابها الأمريكي للاحتجاز القانوني بموجب خطة المسؤولية الانعكاسية للشركة. هذا الإيداع أدى إلى تعديل معدلات التحويل لسهمها العادي من الفئة B-1 وB-2، خفض معدل التحويل لـ B-1 من 1.5609 إلى 1.5549 و معدل B-2 من 1.5342 إلى 1.5223، اعتباراً من 25 سبتمبر 2025. وبما أن هذه التغييرات في معدلات التحويل تقلل عدد الأسهم على أساس "as-converted"، انخفض عدد أسهم B-1 كما-المحول بنحو 28,885 ليصل إلى 7,518,496 وانخفض عدد أسهم B-2 بنحو 1,437,724 ليصل إلى 183,187,821. ذكرت الشركة أن هذه التعديلات لها نفس تأثير الأرباح الموزعة للسهم كما لو أنها إعادة شراء أسهم من الفئة A. استخدمت الحسابات سعر الإغلاق المتوسط الحجمي لمدة 5 أيام من 18 إلى 24 سبتمبر 2025 كما هو مطلوب بموجب شهادة التأسيس.

Visa Inc. 报告称,2025年9月25日,公司已向美国诉讼托管账户按公司回溯责任计划存入5亿美元。该存款触发了对其B-1和B-2普通股的换算率调整,将B-1的换算率从1.5609降至1.5549,将B-2的换算率从1.5342降至1.5223,自2025年9月25日起生效。由于这些换算率变动会在按转换股票计算的基础上减少股票数量,因此B-1的as-converted股数约减少28,885股,至7,518,496股;B-2的as-converted股数约减少1,437,724股,至183,187,821股。公司表示,这些调整对每股收益的影响与回购A类普通股相同。计算使用了2025年9月18日至24日的5日成交量加权平均价(VWAP),以符合公司章程的要求。

Positive
  • $500 million deposit into the U.S. litigation escrow demonstrates available resources to satisfy plan obligations
  • Conversion-rate reductions reduced as-converted share counts, producing an EPS-enhancing effect equivalent to a stock repurchase
  • Transparent disclosure of exact conversion rates, share-count changes, and VWAP pricing window enables precise investor calculation
Negative
  • Adjustment is non-cash and does not change operating cash flow or underlying business performance
  • Does not eliminate litigation exposure; funds are held in escrow under the Plan rather than representing a resolution

Insights

TL;DR: A $500 million escrow deposit modestly reduces as-converted share counts, effectively supporting EPS without an actual open-market repurchase.

The deposit into the litigation escrow and resulting conversion-rate reductions mechanically lower the as-converted share count for B-1 and B-2 classes, which the company equates to the EPS effect of a repurchase of class A shares. This is a non-cash, structural adjustment tied to the Plan and the companys certificate of incorporation formula using a 5-day VWAP window. The changes are precise and disclosed with the specific conversion-rate and share-count impacts, which allows investors to quantify the EPS equivalence.

TL;DR: The action follows governance rules in the certificate of incorporation and transparently documents conversion-rate mechanics.

The filing documents a governance-driven metric adjustment rather than an operational or cash-management change. The use of the Plans formula and the specified VWAP pricing period demonstrates procedural compliance. The disclosure is concise and provides the exact conversion-rate movements and resulting share-count reductions, enabling stakeholders to assess the mechanical impact on reported EPS metrics.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On September 26, 2025, 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 25, 2025 deposit of $500 million 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 1.5609 to 1.5549 and the conversion rate applicable to the Company's class B-2 common stock decreased from 1.5342 to 1.5223, in each case effective as of September 25, 2025.
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 28,885 from 7,547,381 to 7,518,496 and the as-converted class B-2 common stock share count was reduced by approximately 1,437,724 from 184,625,546 to 183,187,821. 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 5-day pricing period from September 18, 2025 through September 24, 2025.
