DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

The following description of certain material terms of the notes does not purport to be complete.

This description of the notes is intended to be an overview of the material provisions of the notes and is intended to supplement, and to the extent of any inconsistency replace, the description of the general terms and provisions of the debt securities set forth in the accompanying prospectus, to which we refer you. The notes will be issued under an indenture, dated as of January 31, 2025 (the “indenture”), among us, Berkshire Hathaway Finance Corporation and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association, as trustee (the “trustee”). The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, will initially act as paying agent for the notes. The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., will initially act as security registrar and transfer agent for the notes. Since this description of the notes is only a summary, we urge you to read the indenture (including definitions of terms used therein) and the forms of notes because they, and not this description, define your rights as a beneficial owner of the notes. You may request copies of these documents from us at 3555 Farnam Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68131. The indenture and the forms of the notes are included or incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement forms a part.
