Shares of domain name registry operator Verisign (NASDAQ:VRSN) fell 8.5% in the morning session after news that major shareholder Berkshire Hathaway sold a significant portion of its stake in the company at a discount. Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway announced it sold 4.3 million shares of the company in a secondary offering. The shares were priced at $285 each, representing a discount of nearly 7% to VeriSign's previous closing price. The sale, which raised approximately $1.23 billion for Berkshire, reduced its ownership stake in VeriSign from 14.2% to 9.6%. The move was primarily motivated by regulatory reasons, as dropping below the 10% ownership threshold allows Berkshire to avoid stricter reporting requirements from the Securities and Exchange Commission. VeriSign itself did not sell any shares in the offering and received no proceeds from the transaction.
