        October&#160;3, 2007, Visa Inc. (&#8220;Visa&#8221;) announced that it had completed
        restructuring transactions in preparation for its initial public offering
        (&#8220;IPO&#8221;), which is expected to occur in the first half of 2008. As part of this
        restructuring, City Holding Company (&#8220;City&#8221;) received approximately 150,000
        Class&#160;USA shares of Visa common stock. It is anticipated that some of these
        shares will be redeemed as part of the IPO with the remaining shares converted
        to Class&#160;A shares on the third anniversary of the IPO or upon Visa&#8217;s
        settlement of certain litigation matters, whichever is later. Visa is expected
        to apply a portion of the proceeds from the IPO to fund an escrow account to
        cover certain litigation judgments and settlements.</font></div>

        November&#160;7, 2007, Visa announced that it had reached a settlement with
        American Express related to an antitrust lawsuit that originated in 2004. The
        settlement is subject to certain approvals.&#160;&#160;City was not a named
        defendant in this lawsuit and, therefore, will not be directly liable for any
        amount of the settlement. However, in accordance with Visa&#8217;s by-laws, City may
        be required to share in certain losses incurred by Visa. Due to City&#8217;s
        membership interest in Visa, a liability of approximately $725,000, or $.03
        per
        diluted common share, representing City&#8217;s share of the settlement, will be
        recorded during the fourth quarter of 2007. In the event the IPO occurs as
        planned, City anticipates that Visa&#8217;s escrow account, described above, will be
        sufficient to settle such litigation judgments and settlements, and the
        liability recorded on City&#8217;s books would no longer be required.</font></div>

  Section
        8 – Other Events
  Item
        8.01 Other Events.
  On
        October 3, 2007, Visa Inc. ("Visa") announced that it had completed
        restructuring transactions in preparation for its initial public offering
        ("IPO"), which is expected to occur in the first half of 2008. As part of this
        restructuring, City Holding Company ("City") received approximately 150,000
        Class USA shares of Visa common stock. It is anticipated that some of these
        shares will be redeemed as part of the IPO with the remaining shares converted
        to Class A shares on the third anniversary of the IPO or upon Visa's
        settlement of certain litigation matters, whichever is later. Visa is expected
        to apply a portion of the proceeds from the IPO to fund an escrow account to
        cover certain litigation judgments and settlements.
  On
        November 7, 2007, Visa announced that it had reached a settlement with
        American Express related to an antitrust lawsuit that originated in 2004. The
        settlement is subject to certain approvals.  City was not a named
        defendant in this lawsuit and, therefore, will not be directly liable for any
        amount of the settlement. However, in accordance with Visa's by-laws, City may
        be required to share in certain losses incurred by Visa. Due to City's
        membership interest in Visa, a liability of approximately $725,000, or $.03
        per
        diluted common share, representing City's share of the settlement, will be
        recorded during the fourth quarter of 2007. In the event the IPO occurs as
        planned, City anticipates that Visa's escrow account, described above, will be
        sufficient to settle such litigation judgments and settlements, and the
        liability recorded on City's books would no longer be required.
  City
        sold its
        retail credit card portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2006 and sold its
        merchant card agreements during the first quarter of 2007 and is no longer
        directly involved in servicing retail or merchant credit cards.
