The Annual Meeting of Berkshire Hathaway

Howard Buffett, how do you want to stand up? Susan Buffett, Walter Scott, and Malcolm Chase III, Kim Chase. Give them a lot of applause because they don't get much else for it. It's a rather low paying board. Proxico cards have been returned through last Friday representing 1,012,050 class A Berkshire shares and 645,940 class B Berkshire shares. That number of shares represents quorum and we will therefore proceed to directly proceed with the meeting.
