[align=left][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=14px][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px][b]Warren Buffett is to become a top 10 shareholder of Goldman Sachs after he agreed to amend the terms of his 2008 investment in the bank.[/b][/size][/font][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px][b]沃伦·巴菲特将成为高盛投资公司10大股东之一，他同意修改2008年对该公司的投资条款。[/b][/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]In September 2008, Mr [url=http://www.enread.com/news/business/92259.html]Buffett[/url]'s Berkshire Hathaway fund invested $5bn in Goldman at 10% interest.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]In addition to the interest, Berkshire was given the opportunity to buy billions of additional shares in the future.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Goldman is now giving Buffett shares for free to limit diluting its stock.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]In return, the deal means Berkshire does not have to spend billions of dollars up front.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Under the 2008 deal, Berkshire had the right - called a warrant - to buy a further 43.5 million shares for $115 each on 1 October this year.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]The $115 figure compares with Goldman's $147.43 share price in early Tuesday trading.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Instead of buying the [url=http://www.enread.com/news/business/92259.html]shares[/url], Berkshire will now get additional Goldman shares equivalent in value to the difference between $115 and the average closing price of Berkshire's shares for the 10 trading days before 1 October.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]According to estimates, this will make him the bank's ninth-largest shareholder.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Goldman Sachs chief executive Lloyd Blankfein said: "We are pleased that Berkshire Hathaway intends to remain a long-term investor in Goldman Sachs."[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Mr Buffett, one of America's most celebrated investors, last month bought the Heinz food products business for $28bn.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]The 2008 investment in Goldman came at the height of the global financial crisis.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]It attracted much media attention, specifically surrounding the generous 10% interest the bank agreed to pay Berkshire.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Analysts said this reflected Goldman's need for the [url=http://www.enread.com/news/business/92259.html]funds[/url], and the lack of other potential investors either willing or able to put the money forward.[/size][/font]
