On March 26, 2013, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (Company) announced that it had entered into an amendment (Amendment) with Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, Berkshire Hathaway), dated as of March 25, 2013, to amend the terms of the warrant (Warrant) issued on October 1, 2008 to Berkshire Hathaway to purchase 43,478,260 shares of the Company’s common stock at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, on or prior to October 1, 2013 at an exercise price of $115 per share of common stock. The Amendment provides that the Warrant may be exercised only on October 1, 2013 and will be net share settled such that the Company will issue a number of shares of common stock to Berkshire Hathaway based on the amount by which the average closing price of the Company’s common stock over the 10 trading days preceding October 1, 2013 exceeds the exercise price of $115. The foregoing summary of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Form of Amendment entered into with each of the Berkshire Hathaway entities, which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
