billion. The repurchase program is expected to continue indefinitely and the amount of repurchases will depend entirely upon
the level of cash available, the attractiveness of investment and business opportunities either at hand or on the horizon, and the
degree of discount of the market price relative to management’s estimate of intrinsic value. The repurchase program does not
obligate Berkshire to repurchase any dollar amount or number of Class A or Class B shares and there is no expiration date to the
program. There were no share purchases in 2013. In December 2012, Berkshire repurchased 9,475 Class A shares and 606,499
Class B shares for approximately $1.3 billion through a privately negotiated transaction and market purchases.
