Berkshire will again hold a reception at 4 p.m. on Saturday afternoon of the 2007 annual meeting weekend for shareholders who have come from outside North America.
Unresolvable The public record could not settle it.
Promise: Commitments to the person's or organisation's own future action, with something to deliver: was it delivered?
The second judge would not resolve this claim; the verdict shown is the first judge's.
Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.
What would count as true or false
True: evidence shows that Berkshire held a reception at about 4 p.m. on Saturday of the 2007 annual meeting weekend for shareholders from outside North America. Mostly true: the reception for international shareholders took place that Saturday, but at a somewhat different time. Mostly false: a reception for international shareholders took place, but on a different day of the weekend. False: evidence shows that no such reception was held in 2007.

E4 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting 2007 Transcript good-investing.net
“because Charlie and I are then going to greet perhaps as many as 600 shareholders who have come from outside of North America.”
Reasoning
The 2007 meeting transcripts record only a plan to greet shareholders from outside North America and a 4-to-6 o'clock slot [E5, E6], and the later letter says only that Berkshire met more than 400 such shareholders "last year" [E1, E4]. No evidence item names the day or confirms that a reception was held at about 4 p.m. on Saturday, which the criteria require.
