This Amendment No.1 to Schedule 13D is filed solely to reflect that the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of Comdisco Holding Company, Inc. issued to BH Finance LLC pursuant to the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Comdisco, Inc. and its Affiliated Debtors and Debtors in Possession under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code is 286,060 shares of Common Stock, or 6.81% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, not 305,364 shares of Common Stock, or 7.27% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, as previously reported.
 
ITEM 5.    INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
 
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D relating to the Common Stock of Comdisco Holding Company, Inc. as previously filed by the persons filing this Amendment No. 1 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
 
(a)  Finance is the holder of record of 286,060 Shares, or 6.81% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. NICO is the holder of record of 1,150,233 Shares, or 27.38% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. NFMIC is the holder of record of 16,255 Shares, or 0.39% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.
 
Warren E. Buffett may be deemed to control Berkshire, which controls each of Finance, NICO and NFMIC. Both Mr. Buffett and Berkshire thus may be considered to have beneficial ownership of the entire 1,452,548 shares of Common Stock owned of record by Finance, NICO and NFMIC. OBH, a direct subsidiary of Berkshire and the direct parent company of NICO, NFMIC and BH Columbia, may also be considered to have beneficial ownership of the entire 1,452,548 shares of Common Stock owned of record by Finance, NICO and NFMIC. BH Columbia and its direct subsidiary, Columbia, which is the direct parent company of Finance, may also be considered to have beneficial ownership of the 286,060 shares of Common Stock owned of record by Finance.
 
(b)  Each of Finance, NICO and NFMIC has both voting and investment power with respect to the Shares indicated as owned of record by it in Item 5(a). However, Warren E. Buffett, Chairman of the Board of Berkshire, who may be deemed to control these companies, directs the investments and voting of each of these companies. Thus, Mr. Buffett, Berkshire and the subsidiaries of Berkshire that directly or indirectly control Finance, NICO and NFMIC share voting power and investment power with respect to the Shares owned by each of these companies.
 
(c)  None of the Berkshire Entities or Mr. Buffett nor, to their knowledge, any executive officer or director of the Berkshire Entities, has engaged in any transaction in any shares of the Company’s Common Stock during the sixty day period immediately preceding the date hereof.
 
(d)  and  (e)  Not applicable.
 
ITEM 7.    MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.
 
A copy of an agreement previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the filing of joint statements and granting a power of attorney with respect to such filings is attached as Exhibit A to this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D.
