Context
This filing reflects institutional open‑market accumulation by a 10% holder (Berkshire and its subsidiaries), not an individual executive trade. Footnotes clarify subsidiary ownership and price ranges; for full per‑lot pricing details the filer offers to provide breakdowns on request. As always, purchases by large institutional holders can be informative to investors, but they do not reveal the holder’s motives or timing strategy.
