STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR FACT DEPOSITION PROTOCOL AND COORDINATION:IT IS… — United States v. Visa Inc. (Dkt. 133)

Summary

A Stipulation and [Proposed] Order for Fact Deposition Protocol and Coordination, Doc. 133, filed March 9, 2026 in United States of America v. Visa Inc., Case No. 1:24-cv-7214-JGK-SLC, and also captioned in In re: Visa Debit Card Antitrust Litigation, Case No. 1:24-cv-7435-JGK-SLC, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. It would govern fact depositions in both actions and states that it addresses coordination, not consolidation. Its general provisions say each deposition takes place during a single day and lasts no more than 7 hours on the record. The allocation-of-time paragraphs are marked as disputed, with a Visa proposal and an alternative proposal by the Private Plaintiffs, who would limit themselves to 125 hours and the Government and Visa each to 350 hours.

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED ORDER FOR FACT DEPOSITION PROTOCOL
AND COORDINATION

WHEREAS, the United States of America (the “United States” or “Government”) has filed
suit against Visa Inc. (“Visa”) in a suit styled United States of America v. Visa Inc., 1:24-cv-7214-
JGK-SLC (the “DOJ Action”);

WHEREAS, two putative class actions, one brought by merchants (“Merchant Plaintiffs”) and
one brought by cardholders (“Cardholder Plaintiffs” and, jointly, “Private Plaintiffs”), against Visa
have been consolidated in this Court as Jn re: Visa Debit Card Antitrust Litigation, 1:24-cv-7435-
JGK-SLC (the “Private Actions” and, together with the DOJ Action, the “Coordinated Actions”);

WHEREAS, the United States, Visa, and Private Plaintiffs (together, the “Parties,” and each a
“Party” ') believe that coordination of fact discovery, particularly depositions, in the Coordinated

Actions will promote efficiency, minimize expenses, and avoid duplication of effort;

‘Unless otherwise stated, Private Plaintiffs are a single “Party” for the purposes of this Order.
Case 124.GV-0/435IGK Document 200-1 Filed 03/00/20 Page Soh 18)

WHEREAS, the Parties have met and conferred and agreed, subject to Court approval, to this
Stipulation and [Prapdse#] Order for Deposition Protocol and Coordination (the “Order” or
“Protocol’) in the Coordinated Actions;

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND ORDERED AS FOLLOWS:

I. GENERAL PROVISIONS

1. The Parties shall endeavor in good faith, wherever reasonably feasible, to
coordinate discovery, minimize burden, encourage efficiency, and avoid unnecessary expense for
all Parties and non-parties.

2. This Order shall govern all fact depositions of non-party and Party witnesses,
including depositions taken pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure (“FRCP”) 30(b)(1) and
FRCP 30(b)(6) (i.e., all depositions other than expert depositions), in the Coordinated Actions.

3. This Order addresses only coordination, not consolidation. Nothing in this Order
shall be construed to imply that any Party consents to additional consolidation of the Private
Actions, consolidation of the DOJ Action and the Private Actions, or that such consolidation is
appropriate.

4. Absent agreement of the Parties or order of the Court, any matter not expressly
addressed in this Protocol shall be governed by the applicable Federal Rules of Civil Procedure,
Federal Rules of Evidence, the Local Rules of the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York, and the prior orders of the Court in the Coordinated Actions.

5. The Parties will work collaboratively and in good faith to address any issues not
expressly addressed by this Protocol.

6. This Order supersedes any prior conflicting provisions related to fact depositions

in agreements and orders previously entered in these Coordinated Actions.

shall be scheduled to take place less than two weeks from the date the deposition notice for that
deposition is served.

8. Private Plaintiffs hereby expressly agree that the Stipulation and Order Regarding
Protocol for Remote Depositions (Dkt. No. 111) (the “Remote Deposition Protocol”) in the DOJ
Action shall apply to the Private Actions as if stipulated to and ordered therein, except that the
Parties agree (a) that AgileLaw is an acceptable “secure file sharing platform” for purposes of
Paragraph 22 of the Remote Deposition Protocol so long as all Parties, upon good faith efforts, are
able to access documents presented on that platform, and (b) to negotiate in good faith, when
requested, alternative means for distributing printed copies of potential exhibits for remote
depositions in lieu of the procedure laid out in Paragraph 23 of the Remote Deposition Protocol.

9. Except by agreement of the Parties, by leave or previous order of the Court, or as
otherwise set forth herein (see infra Sections III, IV), each deposition shall take place during a
single day and last no more than 7 hours on the record.

10. ‘In the case of a deposition that will extend beyond 7 hours (including certain non-
party depositions for up to 14 total hours under Section IV of this Protocol and certain Visa
depositions for up to 10 total hours under Section III), the witness may elect to have the deposition
occur over two consecutive business days (or non-consecutive business days if the Parties and/or
non-party all agree).

11. The Parties may, by mutual agreement, schedule a deposition after the close of fact
discovery without seeking leave of Court; if the Parties so agree, its content will not be

objectionable purely on timeliness grounds.

Case 1:24-cv-07435-JGK Document 200-1 Filed 03/06/26 Page 4 of 19

12. All notices of depositions shall be served on all Parties whose cases have not been
settled or dismissed, regardless of whether the deposition is noticed in the DOJ Action, the Private
Action, or both.

to the noticing of or questioning during any particular deposition or to seek relief from or
modification of this stipulation from the Court.

14. Absent agreement of all Parties and, if applicable, the non-party, or order of the
Court, there shall be no more than one FRCP 30(b)(1) deposition per witness across the
Coordinated Actions.

15. After a Party notices a deposition in the DOJ Action, the Private Actions, or both,
any other Party may cross-notice the deposition in the actions to which they are a Party.

16. The Parties shall be able to use for all purposes, including, but not limited to,
deposition designations at trial, any fact deposition testimony (including testimony taken pursuant
to FRCP 30(b)(6)) taken in either of the Coordinated Actions, including transcripts and
accompanying exhibits, in either the DOJ Action or Private Actions as if the deposition was taken
in that case.

17. Only one attorney per Party may examine a witness during a deposition, though
Private Plaintiffs may elect to have two examining attorneys, one for each of the (a) Merchant
Plaintiffs and (b) Cardholder Plaintiffs.

18. Any objection by the Government or Private Plaintiffs shall be deemed to have been
made on behalf of both the Government and Private Plaintiffs. Counsel need not repeat another
counsel’s objection to preserve that objection, and counsel shall avoid repeating objections already

preserved. Speaking objections are forbidden, and counsel shall not interpose objections to

unreasonably disrupt the deposition. All objections shall be stated concisely in a non-
argumentative and non-suggestive manner in compliance with the FRCP and all other applicable
rules. |

19. No person shall engage in a private communication, including through text
message, electronic mail, handwritten notes, hand gestures, or the chat feature in the
videoconferencing system, with the deponent while the deposition is on the record. If counsel
intends to initiate a private communication with any deponent to determine whether a privilege
should be asserted, counsel shall state their intention on the record before initiating such
communication, and then the deposition shall go off the record. Nothing in this paragraph is
intended to alter any local or federal rules governing communications with witnesses during a
deposition.

20. In the event of a dispute during a deposition (whether noticed pursuant to FRCP
30(b)(1) or 30(b)(6)), the Parties and/or non-party shall memorialize the dispute on the record and
present the dispute to the Court by motion no later than 7 business days after the dispute arose. If
the Court orders a Party or non-party to provide additional testimony (i.e., overrules the objection
of the Party or non-party to answering a particular question), the Party or non-party shall provide
the witness for deposition on the testimony in question within 10 business days of the ruling or
another mutually agreeable date as determined by the Parties (and if, applicable, non-party) to the
deposition.

Deposition Protocol, shall officially record the hours spent by each Party on the examination of
witnesses during depositions and shall provide the official time to the Parties upon request.

I. PARTY DEPOSITIONS

31. Before a Party deposition is noticed, a Party seeking to notice such a deposition
shall coordinate in good faith with the other Parties to set a mutually agreeable date and time for
the deposition and, if the deposition is to proceed in-person, a location that is convenient for the
witness. Remote depositions shall be otherwise governed by the Remote Deposition Protocol.

represents the former employee within 7 days. Employer Party’s counsel must make reasonable

efforts within those 7 days to contact the former employee and ask if the former employee wants
Case 1:24-cv-07214-JGK Document 133 Filed 03/09/26 Page 10 of 19
Case 1:24-cv-07435-JGK Document 200-1 Filed 03/06/26 Page 10 of 19

Employer Party’s counsel to represent her or him. Employer Party’s counsel must not condition
this inquiry on the noticing Party first serving the former employee pursuant to FRCP 45. The
following provisions shall also apply:

a. If, after Employer Party’s counsel notifies the noticing Party’s counsel that
it does not represent the former employee, the former employee notifies Employer Party or
Employer Party’s counsel that the former employee wants Employer Party’s counsel to
represent her or him, Employer Party’s counsel must notify the noticing Party within 3
days.

b. If Employer Party’s counsel informs the noticing Party’s counsel that the
prospective deponent is not represented by Employer Party’s counsel, Employer Party’s
counsel shall provide the noticing Party’s counsel with the former employee’s last known
contact information and address, and the noticing Party may serve the former employee
pursuant to FRCP 45.

33. | The United States or Private Plaintiffs must serve a cross-notice of deposition of an
officer or employee of Visa, if any, within 7 days of service of the original notice of deposition.

34. Parties will use their best efforts to make witnesses available for deposition at a
mutually agreeable time and location (if in-person) and without unreasonable delay.

35. Each deposition of an officer or employee of a Party under FRCP 30(b)(1) shall
presumptively be limited to 7 hours on the record absent agreement by the Parties or a showing of
good cause to the Court. Notwithstanding this provision, for officers or employees of Visa and
former officers or employees of Visa represented by counsel for Visa that have been noticed or
cross-noticed by both the United States and Private Plaintiffs, the United States and Private

Plaintiffs may collectively choose to examine 7 such witnesses for a maximum of 10 hours total

on-the-record deposition time, which deposition shall take place over two consecutive days, except
that Visa may limit to a single 7-hour day any deposition noticed of Visa’s current Chief Executive
Officer and current Chief Financial Officer. For purposes of this provision, “current” means as of
the date the deposition notice is served.

36. Nothing in these provisions shall limit a Party from examining during a deposition
a witness it represents (e.g., an officer or employee of the Party) for the purposes of the deposition;
the first thirty minutes of any such examination shall not count toward that Party’s allocated
examination time.

IV. NON-PARTY DEPOSITIONS

37. Before anon-party deposition is noticed (whether it is to be taken pursuant to FRCP
30(b)(1) or 30(b)(6)), a Party seeking to notice a non-party deposition shall coordinate in good
faith with all of the other Parties and, where reasonably practicable, the non-party, to attempt to
set a mutually agreeable date and time, as well as a location that is convenient for the witness, for
the deposition. All Parties shall have the opportunity to participate in this coordination process
regardless of whether the Party noticing the deposition intends to notice it for only the DOJ Action
or Private Actions.

38. A Party, who in good faith indicates that it has not received requested documents
or data from a non-party, may request that the deposition of that non-party or an employee of that
non-party be delayed for a reasonable period of time to obtain such documents or data or, if the
document discovery issue cannot be resolved consensually, to obtain resolution by the Court. Any

such request shall not be unreasonably denied.

copies of this Deposition Protocol, the Remote Deposition Protocol, and the operative protective
orders from both the DOJ Action and the Private Actions.

within 7 days of service of the original deposition notice.

41. Absent agreement of the Parties, the Party who serves the first notice of subpoena
shall examine the witness first. In the case of either the Government or Private Plaintiffs noticing
the deposition first, both shall examine the witness before Visa examines the witness.

42. The following provisions shall apply for non-party depositions:

a. A noticing Party may examine a non-party witness for up to 5.5 hours if no
other Parties cross-notice the deposition, and the other Parties may examine the witness for
up to 0.75 hours each, for a total of 7 hours on the record.

b. If two Parties notice or cross-notice the deposition, then each shall be
entitled to examine the witness for up to 3.25 hours, unless the two noticing Parties agree
to different time allocations after conferring before the deposition, and the other Party may
examine the witness for up to 0.5 hours, for a total of 7 hours on the record.

C. If all Parties notice or cross-notice the deposition, then the United States
and Private Plaintiffs shall be entitled to examine the witness for up to a combined 5 hours,
and Visa may examine the witness for up to 5 hours, for a total of 10 hours on the record.

d. If either Visa, on the one hand, or the United States and Private Plaintiffs,
on the other hand, do not use the full amount of time allocated to each side, the other side

may use the remaining time, with time counted against the party that used it.

Case 1:24-cv-07435-JGK Document 200-1 Filed 03/06/26 Page 13 of 19

43. The United States and Private Plaintiffs may collectively choose to examine 11
non-party witnesses (whether pursuant to FRCP 30(b)(1) or 30(b)(6)) for a maximum of 7 hours
allotted between the United States and Private Plaintiffs. The Government and Private Plaintiffs
shall confer before each deposition to allocate the examination time among themselves. Visa may
also choose to examine 11 non-party witnesses for a maximum of 7 hours per deposition. For the
avoidance of doubt, these additional provisions shall apply:

a. In the event that both (a) Visa and (b) the Government and Private Plaintiffs
choose to examine the same non-party witness for up to 7 hours, the deposition of such
witness shall be no more than a total of 14 hours.

b. In the event that only one Party chooses to examine the non-party witness
for up to 7 hours, the time allocations for cross-noticing and non-cross-noticing Parties in
Paragraph 42, supra, shall apply for the other Parties, except that the non-cross-noticing
Party in the circumstance described in Paragraph 42(b) may examine the witness for up to
1 hour.

44. The deposition of a former Party employee that is not represented by counsel for
that Party shall be considered a non-party deposition for the purposes of this Section on Non-Party
Depositions.

V. RULE 30(b)(6) DEPOSITIONS

45. Absent agreement of the Parties or order of the Court, each Party may serve one
notice pursuant to FRCP 30(b)(6) on each opposing Party. For the avoidance of doubt, Visa may
serve one notice pursuant to FRCP 30(b)(6) on each corporate entity that is a Private Plaintiff in

the Private Actions.

Case 1:24-cv-07435-JGK Document 200-1 Filed 03/06/26 Page 14 of 19

46. Absent agreement of the Parties or order of the Court, no more than one notice
pursuant to FRCP 30(b)(6) shall be served on a non-party by each Party. For the avoidance of
doubt, Private Plaintiffs are two Parties (Merchant Plaintiffs and Cardholder Plaintiffs) for the
purposes of this provision.

47. The United States and the Private Plaintiffs shall coordinate to serve their FRCP
30(b)(6) notices on Visa on the same date and, in any event, no more than one day apart.

48.  Ifmore than one Party intends to serve a FRCP 30(b)(6) notice on a non-party, the
Parties will confer in good faith and reasonably attempt to serve the notice(s) on the same date
and, in any event, no more than one day apart.

49. FRCP 30(b)(6) notices may call for testimony on multiple subjects, and the
responding Party or non-party may designate one or more different witnesses as to each subject
matter. For those FRCP 30(b)(6) depositions for which the responding Party has designated
multiple witnesses, the noticing Party may elect to have a different attorney examine each
designated witness.

50. No Party shall serve a FRCP 30(b)(6) notice later than August 7, 2026. Written
responses and objections to FRCP 30(b)(6) notices shall be due 21 days after service.

30(b)(6) deposition, and the topic(s) on which each representative will testify, no later than 2 weeks
before the date of the deposition.

52. | FRCP 30(b)(6) deposition testimony shall be limited to 21 hours total per Party or
non-party (regardless of the number of corporate designees for the Party or non-party), absent

agreement by the Parties or a showing of good cause to the Court.

53. For any deponents testifying pursuant to FRCP 30(b)(1) and 30(b)(6), the Parties
will endeavor in good faith to schedule the corporate representative and individual portions of
those depositions on the same day or on consecutive business days when reasonably practicable
(or on non-consecutive business days if that is the deponent’s preference).

54. The Parties agree that time spent on a witness’s FRCP 30(b)(6) testimony does not
count towards the hours of on-the-record FRCP 30(b)(1) testimony for that witness, and, likewise,
time spent on an individual’s FRCP 30(b)(1) testimony does not count towards the hours of on-
the-record FRCP 30(b)(6) testimony.

VI. EXHIBITS AND DOCUMENTS

55. For in-person depositions, deposing counsel shall make reasonable efforts to
provide one physical copy of each exhibit entered or document used at a deposition to (a) the
witness, (b) counsel defending the witness, (c) the court reporter, (d) other noticing counsel, if any,
and (e) each non-noticing Party present, immediately before its use unless the exhibit’s or
document’s characteristics or other circumstances make presenting a physical copy unreasonable.

56. _In-person examining counsel shall also make available electronic copies of exhibits
entered or documents used, including Party and non-party counsel attending the deposition either
in person or remotely.

57. Except as otherwise addressed in this order, the Remote Deposition Protocol shall
govern the use of exhibits at depositions proceeding by remote means. See Remote Deposition

Protocol § VI.
