A Message From Your ChairmanFinancial journalists from organizations representing newspapers, magazines and television willparticipate in the question-and-answer period, asking Charlie and me questions thatshareholders have submitted by e-mail. The journalists and their e-mail addresses are: Carol Loomis, the preeminent business journalist of her time, who may be emailed atloomisbrk@gmail.com; Becky Quick, of CNBC, at BerkshireQuestions@cnbc.com, and AndrewRoss Sorkin, of The New York Times, at arsorkin@nytimes.com. From the questions submitted,each journalist will choose six or so he or she decides are the most interesting and important.(In your e-mail, let the journalist know if you would like your name mentioned if your question isselected.) In addition, we will have a second group of panelists asking us questions from stageas well.

Neither Charlie nor I will get so much as a clue about the questions to be asked. We know thejournalists will pick some tough ones and that’s the way we like it.

We will have a drawing at 8:15 at each of the 11 microphones for those shareholders wishing toask questions themselves. At the meeting, I will alternate the questions asked by the journalistsand panelists with those from the winning shareholders.

Microphone MannersWhen asking a question from a microphone zone, please:

• State your name and hometown.

• Ask your question promptly — speak loud & clear.

• Do not ask more than one question or attempt to “bundle” several questions together.

• Do not ask what we are buying or selling. Even if the information is public, we do not discuss how we arrive at our decisions. Any other subjects are fair game.
