The Motion to Approve on an Advisory Basis the Compensation Paid to the Company's Named Executive Officers

The next item on the agenda is an advisory vote on the compensation of Berkshire Hathaway's executive officers. The ballot of the proxy holders in response to proxies that were received through last Friday afternoon cast not less than 608,765 votes to approve. On an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the company's named executive officers. That number exceeds a majority of the number of the total votes of all Class A and Class B shares outstanding.
