    Voting summary May 2021 Vote Summary Report Date range covered: 05/01/2021 to 05/31/2021 Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Meeting Date: 05/01/2021 Country: USA Meeting Type: Annual Ticker: BRK.B Proposal Vote Number Proposal Text Mgmt Rec Instruction 1.1 Elect Director Warren E. Buffett For Withhold Blended Rationale: WITHHOLD votes for compensation committee members Susan (Sue) Decker, David Gottesman, Walter Scott Jr., and Meryl Witmer are warranted in the absence of a management say-on-pay proposal. CEO Buffett's compensation continues to be minimal, but two NEOs each continue to receive base salaries of $16.0 million, which are some of the largest base salaries paid to any executive at a U.S. public company, and overall executive pay lacks a measurable link to company performance. Pay disclosure continues to be minimal, leaving shareholders with little information to assess decisions regarding, or committee oversight of, compensation determinations for executives.WITHHOLD votes for the company's CEO and board chair Warren Buffett are warranted as a signal to the board that stronger independent oversight and board management of climate risks at the company are necessary. The company's BHE subsidiary is a laggard in its industry as it does not set near-term and long-term GHG emissions targets, commit to being net-zero by 2050, or report its climate-related risks and opportunities along TCFD guidelines.A vote FOR the remaining director nominees is warranted. 1.2 Elect Director Charles T.
