The Business of the Berkshire Investment Company

Nominations are ready to be acted upon. If there are any shareholders voting in person, they should now mark their ballots on the election of directors and allow the ballots to be delivered to the inspector of elections. Warren E. Buffett, Susan D. Buffett, Howard G. Buffett, Malcolm G. Chase, Charles D. Munger, Ronald L. Olson, and Walter Scott Jr. have been elected as directors. After adjournment of business meeting, I will respond to questions that you may have that relate to the business of the Berkshire but do not call for any action at this meeting.
