Berkshire Hathaway Inc.’s annual meeting, which normally draws thousands to Omaha, Nebraska, will be a slimmed-down affair this year.

Warren Buffett, chairman and chief executive officer of the conglomerate, and Greg Abel, vice chairman of non-insurance operations, will be the only directors physically present at the meeting, Berkshire said in a statementBloomberg Terminal Monday. That means Charlie Munger, Buffett’s longtime business partner, and Ajit Jain, who’s vice chairman of insurance operations and considered one of Buffett’s potential successors, alongside Abel, won’t attend.
