Important Notes

Will Call If you do not receive your credentials by mail or forget to bring them with you, please bring proof of ownership and photo identification to the Will Call area in the lobby of the CenturyLink Center. Any questions or problems you may have regarding the weekend and/or your meeting credentials can be handled at the Will Call area. Hours: Friday, May 4...... 11am – 6pm Saturday, May 5 ...... 7am – 4:00pm Please Note: Proof of ownership and photo identification are required before credentials will be issued.

Meeting Credentials Your Annual Meeting Credential is your “ticket” for enjoying the shareholder-only events and discounts over the weekend. Your credential is mandatory for admission to the various venues. Please be careful to remember your meeting credential when planning to participate in shareholder activities.

Breakfast and Lunch Fare Breakfast pastries and coffee will be available at various locations on the Concourse of the Arena as well as in the Exhibit Hall and Convention Center. Concession stands will be offering lunch options for purchase starting at 9am.

Pre-Purchase Lunch Tickets Levy Restaurants will again offer Jason’s Deli boxed lunches on Saturday, May 5. They will have pre-pay lunch locations open throughout the CenturyLink Center starting when doors open for shopping on Friday, May 4. Pre-pay lunch tickets can be purchased until the lunch break on Saturday, May 5. This allows shareholders the ability to pre-purchase their boxed lunches ahead of time (avoiding long lines) so you can grab and go whenever you want on Saturday. Pre-pay lunch tickets are $15 and can be redeemed for your lunch at any Express Lunch Distribution location on Saturday, May 5 (boxed lunches only distributed on Saturday, May 5). The variety of boxed 6 lunch options will be based on availability per distribution location. 2018VisitorGuide.qxp_Layout 1 2/5/18 1:51 PM Page 9

Americans With Disabilities Act The CenturyLink Center Omaha is a public facility subject to Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The facility is accessible to disabled patrons, as required by the ADA and applicable regulations. An ADA entrance is located in the Main Arena Lobby on the 10th Street side of the building. ADA seating is available on the main floor, as well as locations throughout the arena. Event Staff personnel will be available to direct you. ADA parking is located in the parking garage as well as lots B, C and D.

Cameras/Recording Equipment/Cell Phones Taking photographs and recording audio or video while the annual meeting is in session (including the movie portion), is strictly prohibited. This includes the use of cell phones for these purposes. This policy will be rigorously enforced. Offenders are subject to equipment confiscation, meeting credential revocation, and dismissal from the meeting.

Seat Saving We have received complaints from some shareholders about excessive seat saving in the Arena the morning of the meeting. Reserving a few seats for your group is certainly acceptable, but blocking off entire rows is unfair to other shareholders. Security will assist in enforcing this policy.

Student Seating Due to increasing attendance numbers, and in order to not impose on our shareholder seating in the Arena, we are asking the students to view the meeting from the Grand Ballroom at the Omaha Hilton. We have made arrangements for a live broadcast (including the company movie) in the ballroom. When the meeting adjourns for the lunch break, students are welcome to join the shareholders at the CenturyLink Center.

A Message From Your Chairman

Financial journalists from organizations representing newspapers, magazines and television will participate in the question-and-answer period, asking Charlie and me questions that shareholders 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 at [email protected]; Becky Quick, of CNBC, at BerkshireQuestions@cnbc.com, and Andrew Ross Sorkin, of The New York Times, at [email protected]. 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 is selected.) In addition, we will have a second group of panelists asking us questions from the stage as well.

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

We will have a drawing at 8:15am at each of the 11 microphone locations for those shareholders wishing to ask questions themselves. At the meeting, I will alternate the questions asked by the journalists and panelists with those from the winning shareholders.

Microphone Manners When 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.
