Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway gets back to basics with $600 million Scripps deal after shock bets on Snowflake and Barrick Gold

The famed investor's conglomerate hasto help finance Scripps' $2.65 billion takeover of ION Media. In exchange, Berkshire will receive 6,000 preferred shares carrying an 8% annual dividend, paid quarterly. If the media group doesn't pay in full and on time, the dividend rate will rises to 9% or more than $650 million a year.

Berkshire will also be given a warrant it can exercise to buy 23.1 million of Scripps' common shares for $13 each, up until one year after Scripps redeems all of the preferred shares. If Scripps' stock price climbs past $13, Berkshire can use its warrant to buy the shares for $300 million then sell them for a profit.
