Berkshire Hathaway will acquire the 77.4% of railway operator Burlington Northern Santa Fe it doesn't already own for $100 a share. The cash and stock deal, valued at about $44 billion and the assumption of some $10 billion in debt, is the largest acquisition in Berkshire history, the company said.
Berkshire's board also approved a 50-for-1 split of the company's Class B common stock.
