   Warren Buffett plans to donate an additional $1.14 billion worth of   
   Berkshire Hathaway stock to four charities, the conglomerate said Monday.   
      
   Berkshire Hathaway said that 1,600 of Buffett's Class A shares would be   
   converted to 2.4 million B shares in order to be gifted. Class A and B   
   stocks were both up around 1% in morning trading.   
      
   The Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation will receive 1.5 million shares,   
   valued at about $714.9 million, based on the Friday closing price of   
   $476.57.   
      
   Buffett plans to donate 300,000 shares each to the Sherwood Foundation,   
   the Howard G. Buffett Foundation and the NoVo Foundation, with each gift   
   valued at about $143 million.   
      
   Buffett said the gifts reduced his holdings of Class A shares to 206,363,   
   which represents a 57% decrease since his pledge in 2006 to use more than   
   99% of his wealth for philanthropy.
