ITEM 1.04 Mine Safety — Reporting of Shutdowns and Patterns of Violations

On March 5, 2017, Bridger Coal Company, a coal mining joint venture that is two-thirds owned and operated by PacifiCorp, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., received an imminent danger order under section 107(a) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 at its underground mine located near Rock Springs, Wyoming. The incident at issue involved a single operator performing cleaning operations on top of a dump truck without personal fall protection equipment. Bridger Coal Company immediately completed actions to abate the concern and on the same day, the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration terminated the section 107(a) order.
