Visa Inc. makes political contributions in strict compliance with applicable laws and the Visa Inc. Political Participation, Lobbying, and Contributions Policy. While corporations are not permitted to contribute to U.S. federal political campaigns or to national political parties, they can contribute to state and local candidates in many jurisdictions. Political contributions will not be given in anticipation of, in recognition of, or in return for any official act and corporate funds may not be used for any unlawful, improper or unethical purpose. The following is a list of political contributions Visa made during calendar 2013. The Company makes reasonable efforts to obtain from U.S. trade associations whose annual membership dues exceed $25,000 the portion of such dues that are used for political contributions. None of the organizations surveyed in 2013 reported that any portion of Visa’s dues were used for political expenditures. The political contributions listed are aggregated on a yearly basis and may reflect contributions to multiple campaign committees associated with a single legislator, and also may reflect primary and/or general election contributions.
