billion. The repurchase program is expected to continue indefinitely and the amount of repurchases will depend entirely upon<br />

the level of cash available, the attractiveness of investment and business opportunities either at hand or on the horizon, and the<br />

degree of discount of the market price relative to management’s estimate of intrinsic value. The repurchase program does not<br />

obligate Berkshire to repurchase any dollar amount or number of Class A or Class B shares and there is no expiration date to the<br />

program. There were no share purchases in 2013. In December 2012, Berkshire repurchased 9,475 Class A shares and 606,499<br />

Class B shares for approximately $1.3 billion through a privately negotiated transaction and market purchases.<br />
