CUSIP NO. 23918K108		SCHEDULE 13D/A		PAGE 11 OF 13 PAGES

This Amendment No. 10 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the previously reported information set forth in the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on August 3, 2022, as amended (the “13D”) with respect to the shares of the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of DaVita Inc. (“DVA”). This Amendment No. 10 is being filed on account of DVA’s repurchase of its shares of Common Stock. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the 13D.

Item 2 of this 13D is hereby amended as follows:

Items 2(a)-(c) and (f) of this 13D are hereby amended to include the information filed on Exhibit 1 hereto concerning the name, state or other place of organization, principal business, and the address of the principal office of each of the Berkshire Entities, and the name, business address, present principal occupation or employment, and the name, principal business address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment or occupation is conducted, and the citizenship of, Mr. Buffett, Mr. Weschler and each of the executive officers and directors of the Berkshire Entities.

Items 5(a)-(b) of this 13D are hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a) Government Employees Insurance Company (“GEICO”), an insurance company, is the holder of record of 18,513,482 shares of DVA Common Stock (the “GEICO Shares”), which represents 21.1% of the outstanding DVA Common Stock. GEICO is a wholly-owned subsidiary of (and controlled by) GEICO Corp. GEICO Corp is a wholly-owned subsidiary of (and controlled by) National Indemnity Company (“NICO”), an insurance company. Thus, each of NICO and GEICO Corp may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the GEICO Shares.

Berkshire Hathaway Consolidated Pension Plan Master Trust is the holder of record of 10,532,088 shares of DVA Common Stock, which represents 12.0% of the outstanding DVA Common Stock. BNSF Master Retirement Trust is the holder of record of 6,850,000 shares of DVA Common Stock, which represents 7.8% of the outstanding DVA Common Stock. Scott Fetzer Company Collective Investment Trust is the holder of record of 200,000 shares of DVA Common Stock, which represents 0.2% of the outstanding DVA Common Stock. Collectively, the pension plans referenced in this paragraph (the “Pension Plan Holders”) directly own 17,582,088 shares of DVA Common Stock (the “Pension Plan Shares,” and collectively with the GEICO Shares, the “Shares”), which represents 20.0% of the outstanding DVA Common Stock.


CUSIP NO. 23918K108		SCHEDULE 13D/A		PAGE 12 OF 13 PAGES

Mr. Buffett may be deemed to control Berkshire, which controls NICO. Thus, Mr. Buffett and Berkshire may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the GEICO Shares.

Mr. Weschler beneficially owns 2,183,180 shares of DVA Common Stock (the “Weschler Shares”), which represents 2.5% of the outstanding DVA Common Stock. Mr. Weschler disclaims beneficial ownership of all GEICO Shares and Pension Plan Shares.

The Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed by DVA with the SEC on February 14, 2024 reports that approximately 87.7 million shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding as of January 31, 2024. Based on this information, Berkshire has assumed that 87.7 million shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding as of January 31, 2024 for purposes of this 13D, and all calculations of percentage ownership in this 13D are based on such assumed number of issued and outstanding shares.

(b) GEICO has both voting and investment power with respect to the GEICO Shares it owns and the Pension Plan Holders have both voting and investment power with respect to the Pension Plan Shares owned by them. However, because NICO and GEICO Corp control GEICO, NICO and GEICO Corp may be deemed to share voting and investment power with respect to the GEICO Shares. In addition, Berkshire directs the investments of NICO, GEICO Corp, and the Pension Plan Holders. Thus, Mr. Buffett, who may be deemed to control Berkshire, and Berkshire share voting power and investment power with respect to all the Shares.

Mr. Weschler has sole voting and investment power with respect to 2,039,806 of the Weschler Shares and shared dispositive (but not voting) power with respect to 143,374 of the Weschler Shares.


CUSIP NO. 23918K108		SCHEDULE 13D/A		PAGE 13 OF 13 PAGES

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this Statement on Schedule 13D is true, complete, and correct.
