    Today, Visa Inc., the world´s largest retail electronic payment
    network, began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker
    symbol "V" after its historic initial public offering in which it
    raised $17.86 billion. Visa´s IPO is the largest domestic initial
    public offering in U.S. history and the third largest initial public
    offering worldwide.

    "Visa is a great addition to our listed company family, and an
    outstanding global brand," said Duncan L. Niederauer, CEO, NYSE

    To mark the occasion, Visa´s Chairman and CEO Joseph W. Saunders
    rang The Opening Bell and was joined on the trading floor by 30 middle
    school students from the Kappa V School in Brooklyn, NY. The students
    were on hand to view the first public trade of Visa shares, which
    Saunders personally conducted on behalf of the Teach for America
    Program, the national corps of top college graduates who commit two
    years to teach in rural and urban public schools.
