    “Of that number, 1,116,384 Class A shares, and 4,507,896 Class B shares are represented at this meeting by proxies returned through Thursday evening, April 26.”

Berkshire's Form 10-Q filed with the SEC states that the annual shareholders' meeting was held on April 28, 2001 (E1, E4). Its 10-K for fiscal 2000 also gives that as the scheduled date (E7). Transcripts confirm the 2001 meeting took place, and the proxy count "through Thursday evening, April 26" fits a Saturday, April 28 meeting (E8, E10). No source clearly states the venue: E9 mentions the Omaha Civic Auditorium and Saturday meetings "from 2000 on," but that line doesn't tie the venue to 2001. So the date is confirmed and the venue is likely but not proven.
