Feb 13 (Reuters) - Berkshire Hathaway BRKa.N said on
Thursday night it sold 203,091 shares of DaVita DVA.N ,
reducing its stake in the kidney dialysis services provider to
about 35.89 million shares, a 45% stake worth nearly $6.4
billion.
In a regulatory filing, Berkshire said the February 11 sale
was required pursuant to a share repurchase agreement, under
which DaVita agreed on a quarterly basis to buy back enough
shares to reduce Berkshire's ownership stake to 45%.
