[1] Net income attributable to Visa Inc. is allocated based on proportional ownership on an as-converted basis. The weighted-average numbers of shares of as-converted class B common stock used in the income allocation were 405 million for fiscal 2015 and 413 million for fiscal 2014 and 2013. The weighted-average number of shares of as-converted class C common stock used in the income allocation was 87 million, 103 million and 113 million for fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
[2] The outstanding number of shares of class B and C common stock were not impacted by the stock split as these stockholders received an adjustment to their respective conversion ratios instead of stock dividends. See Note 14—Stockholders' Equity. Weighted-average basic and diluted shares outstanding for class B and C common stock are calculated based on the common shares outstanding of each respective class rather than on an as-converted basis.
[3] Decrease in Class A common stock relates to forfeitures of restricted stock awards.
[4] All shares repurchased in the open market have been retired and constitute authorized but unissued shares.
