Visa Class B-1 Common Stock Exchange Offer

EQ Shareowner Services

The information on this web page is intended for holders who exchanged their Class B-1 shares into shares of the Company’s Class B-2 common stock (“Class B-2 shares”) and who are subsequently selling their Class C shares received in the Exchange Offer.

The Class C shares received in the Exchange Offer are convertible into shares of Class A common stock of the Company (“Class A shares”) automatically upon transfer, subject to a lock-up period as outlined below:

  • up to one-third (1/3) can be transferred immediately following the completion of the Exchange Offer;
  • an additional one-third (1/3) can be transferred after 45 days from the Exchange Offer acceptance date; and
  • the remaining one-third (1/3) can be transferred after 90 days from the Exchange Offer acceptance date.

There are two methods by which a Class C shareholder may sell its Class C shares:

  1. A Class C shareholder may instruct that the shares designated for sale be transferred into the shareholder’s existing brokerage account for sale, provided the broker is a participant of the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC). If a Class C shareholder chooses to use its own broker, it must represent that it has committed to sell Class A shares on the open market before shares will be transferred to that broker.
  2. A Class C shareholder may use the Visa Sales Facility provided by EQ Shareowner Services. Shareholders are not obligated to use EQ Shareowner Services for that service.

The instructions and forms necessary to convert and transfer Class C shares are below.

Please note that EQ Shareowner Services will convert the Class C shares into Class A shares in accordance with the applicable conversion rate for Class A shares for the settlement of such sales when they are sold into the public market.
