　　FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 17, 2012

　　Omaha, NE (BRK.A; BRK.B)

　　To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway:

　　This is to let you know that I have been diagnosed with stage I prostate cancer. The good news is that I"ve been told by my doctors that my condition is not remotely lifethreatening or even debilitating in any meaningful way. I received my diagnosis last Wednesday. I then had a CAT scan and a bone scan on Thursday, followed by an MRI today. These tests showed no incidence of cancer elsewhere in my body。

　　My doctors and I have decided on a two-month treatment of daily radiation to begin in mid-July. This regimen will restrict my travel during that period, but will not otherwise change my daily routine。

　　I feel great as if I were in my normal excellent health and my energy level is 100 percent. I discovered the cancer because my PSA level (an indicator my doctors had regularly checked for many years) recently jumped beyond its normal elevation and a biopsy seemed warranted。

　　I will let shareholders know immediately should my health situation change. Eventually,of course, it will; but I believe that day is a long way off。

　　Warren E. Buffett
