B Shares split

[seshnath]

On November 3, 2009, Berkshire also announced that its Board of Directors approved a 50-for-1 split of its Class B Common Stock.  The stock split is subject to the approval of Berkshire’s shareholders who must approve an amendment to Berkshire’s certificate of incorporation to increase Berkshire’s total number of authorized shares of common stock.  Berkshire’s Class A Common Stock is not being split. - 10Q (Page 2120)
