Item 8.01 Other Events.

On September 21, 2010, Visa Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the Company had decided to deposit $800 million into the litigation escrow account previously established under the Company’s retrospective responsibility plan (the “Plan”). Under the terms of the Plan, when the Company funds the litigation escrow, its U.S. financial institutions and their affiliates and successors, the sole holders of Class B shares, bear a corresponding financial impact via a reduction in their as-converted share count. As a result, the deposit has the effect of a repurchase by the Company of $800 million of Class A common stock on an as-converted basis. The deposit will be conducted in accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation currently in effect.

A copy of the press release issued on September 21, 2010, is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. All information in the press release is furnished but not filed.
