Berkshire will give people who order annual meeting tickets a booklet with information for enjoying their visit to Omaha.

True: in 2002, people who ordered 2002 annual meeting tickets received a booklet or guide with visitor information about Omaha (such as hotels, events and directions), sent with or alongside their credentials. Mostly true: the booklet was supplied, but in a slightly different form (for example, it was handed out on arrival or sent separately from the tickets). Mostly false: only a single sheet or notice was sent, not a booklet, or the booklet went to only some of the people who ordered tickets. False: evidence such as shareholder accounts or Berkshire's materials shows that no visitor booklet was provided for the 2002 meeting.

   “An attachment to the proxy material that is enclosed with this report explains how you can obtain the credential you will need for admission to the meeting and other events.”

E1, E3 and E5 come from the 2002 annual report letter, published in 2003. They cover the credentials and discounts for the 2003 meeting (E3's dates, Thursday May 1 to Monday May 5, fit 2003), not what was sent to people who ordered tickets for the 2002 meeting. The 2002 meeting transcript (E2, E4) mentions only that the meeting notice and proxy statement were mailed to shareholders. It says nothing either way about a visitor booklet. None of the evidence shows whether the 2002 booklet was or was not provided.
