On November 2, 2015, Visa Inc. (“Visa”) announced a proposed acquisition of Visa Europe Limited (“VE”) that is currently expected to close during our fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. Through certain of our subsidiaries in Europe, we are a member and shareholder of VE. Our member interests in VE are accounted for using the cost method of accounting. The preliminary estimate of the upfront consideration we will receive consists of cash of €30 million ($31.7 million equivalent at November 30, 2015) and Visa preferred stock which is convertible into Visa common shares with an approximate value of $21.4 million as of the announcement date. We could also receive contingent earn-out consideration. The amount and composition of the total consideration are not final and could be amended. In addition, approximately €23 million, or $24.3 million equivalent at November 30, 2015, of the cash consideration could be refundable, and the conversion factor of the preferred shares could be adjusted down based on the outcome of potential litigation in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in Europe such that the number of shares ultimately received could be as low as zero.
