On February 25, 2026, Visa Inc. authorized a 125 million dollar deposit into its U.S. litigation escrow account. This account is part of the company's established U.S. retrospective responsibility plan. Under the terms of this plan, funding the escrow account triggers a dilution of the company's class B-1 and B-2 common stock through downward adjustments to their conversion rates into class A common stock. These adjustments are designed to have an effect on earnings per share similar to a share repurchase of class A common stock. The conversion rate for class B-1 common stock was adjusted from 1.5491 to 1.5475. The conversion rate for class B-2 common stock was adjusted from 1.5108 to 1.5075. These changes became effective on February 26, 2026. As a result of these adjustments, the as-converted class B-1 common stock share count decreased by approximately 7,880 shares, moving from 7,490,714 to 7,482,834. The as-converted class B-2 common stock share count decreased by approximately 392,202 shares, moving from 181,804,989 to 181,412,788. The calculations for these adjustments were performed in accordance with the company's certificate of incorporation using the volume-weighted average price from the February 25, 2026, pricing period.
Visa Inc. announced on February 13, 2026, that its Board of Directors has authorized the company to proceed with a successive exchange offer for its outstanding Class B common stock. This action is contingent upon meeting specific conditions previously outlined in the company's December 2023 proxy statement. These conditions require that one year has passed since the initial exchange offer and that the estimated interchange reimbursement fees related to unresolved U.S. covered litigation have been reduced by at least 50% from the October 1, 2023, baseline of approximately $49.6 billion. Visa reports that the estimated fees at issue were approximately $39.4 billion as of October 1, 2025. The company anticipates that the pending dismissal of certain claims in the 7-Eleven, Inc., et al., v. Visa Inc., et al. litigation will reduce the remaining fees below the 50% threshold. Upon satisfaction of these conditions, Visa intends to file a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC. The proposed offer would allow holders of Class B-1 and Class B-2 common stock to exchange their shares for a combination of Class B-3 common stock, which remains subject to transfer restrictions, and freely transferable Class C common stock. This filing serves as a regulatory disclosure and does not constitute an official offer to exchange securities.
