PART II
ITEM 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Price Range of Common Stock
Our class A common stock has been listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "V" since March 19, 2008. The following table sets
forth the intra-day high and low sale prices for our class A common stock from March 19, 2008 and for the two full quarterly periods in fiscal 2008 following
the Company's IPO as well as for the four quarterly periods in fiscal 2009, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange. At September 30, 2009, the
Company had 391 stockholders of record of its class A common stock. We believe that the number of beneficial owners is substantially greater than the
number of record holders, because a large portion of our class A common stock is held in "street name" by brokers.
2009 High Low
First Quarter $ 62.11 $ 43.54
Second Quarter 57.98 41.78
Third Quarter 71.24 53.63

Second Quarter (from March 19, 2008) $ 69.00 $ 55.00

There is currently no established public trading market for our class B or class C common stock. There were approximately 1,749 and 1,568 holders of
record of our class B common stock and class C common stock, respectively, as of September 30, 2009.
