The 10% Contingent Convertible Senior Notes due 2018 ("Notes") were convertible into shares of USG Common Stock, $0.10 par value ("Shares"), at an initial conversion price of $11.40 per share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances.
Following the transactions reported on this Form 4, the Shares are owned by four subsidiaries of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ("Berkshire") as follows: National Indemnity Company ("NICO") (17,072,192 Shares), Berkshire Hathaway Life Insurance Company of Nebraska ("BH Nebraska") (14,035,088 Shares), Berkshire Hathaway Assurance Corporation ("BH Assurance") (7,894,736 Shares) and General Re Life Corporation ("General Re Life") (4,385,964 Shares).
$30 million aggregate principal amount of Notes held by BH Nebraska were converted into 2,631,579 Shares, $16,875,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes held by BH Assurance were converted into 1,480,263 Shares and $9,295,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes held by General Re Life were converted into 815,350 Shares. Such conversions occurred following receipt of notice of redemption of the converted Notes.
As Berkshire and NICO are each in the chain of ownership of BH Nebraska and BH Assurance, each of Berkshire and NICO may be deemed presently to both beneficially own and have a pecuniary interest in the Shares presently owned by BH Nebraska and BH Assurance. As Berkshire is in the chain of ownership of General Re Life, Berkshire may be deemed presently to both beneficially own and have a pecuniary interest in the Shares presently owned by General Re Life. Warren E. Buffett, as controlling shareholder of Berkshire, may be deemed presently to beneficially own, but only to the extent he has a pecuniary interest in, the Shares presently owned by BH Nebraska, BH Assurance and General Re Life. Mr. Buffett disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
