ITEM 4. OWNERSHIP.
Item 4(a) is hereby amended and restated as follows:
As previously reported in the Schedule 13G filed on February 11, 2016 (the “Original Schedule 13G”), Visa International Service Association (“Visa International”) is the direct owner and record holder of 4,194,230 shares of class B common stock of Square, Inc., which is convertible on a one-to-one basis into shares of Square’s publicly-traded class A common stock. Visa Inc. (together with Visa International, “Visa”) is the sole shareholder of Visa International and may be deemed a beneficial owner of the Square class B common stock held by Visa International.
Since December 31, 2015, Visa has not converted, acquired or disposed of any shares of Square’s class B or class A common stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission requires that a reporting person must assume that only its convertible securities are converted into the underlying securities, but that all other convertible securities (including all other class B common stock owned by other shareholders) are not converted for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Visa International’s holdings of the Square class B common stock was subject to an agreement between Visa International and Square which limited Visa International’s ability to convert its shares of Square’s class B common stock into class A common stock. Therefore, while Visa owned 4,194,230 shares of Square’s class B common stock as of December 31, 2015, the Original Schedule 13G only reported Visa’s beneficial ownership of Square’s class A common stock as 3,520,210 shares. This equaled approximately 9.99% of the outstanding class A common stock at that time, pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules for calculating beneficial ownership described above.
As a result of increases in the total number of class A common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2016, Visa International is now permitted, pursuant to the agreement, to convert all of its 4,194,230 shares of Square class B common stock into class A common stock.
The reduction in Visa’s beneficial ownership of Square’s class A common stock from 9.99% in the Original Schedule 13G to 2.5% as reported in this Schedule 13G/A is solely as a result of increases in the total number of shares of Square’s class A common stock outstanding during 2016 and not due to any sale of Square securities by Visa.
Item 11 on pages 1 and 2 of this Schedule 13G/A indicates that Visa beneficially owns 2.5% of Square’s class A common stock, pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules described above. If beneficial ownership were instead calculated on a fully converted basis (i.e., all of Square’s class B common stock were converted into class A common stock), Visa’s beneficial ownership of Square’s class A common stock as of December 31, 2016 would be approximately 1% of Square’s class A common stock outstanding.
ITEM 5. OWNERSHIP OF FIVE PERCENT OR LESS OF A CLASS.
If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof the reporting person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of securities, check the following. ý
