Huber shares to a total of 25 purchasers, many of whom included
distant relatives or trustees acting in their fiduciary
capacities. Two of the buyers, W. Anthony Brooke and Peter S.
Brock, testified at trial. Mr. Brooke is the husband of Mr.

and currently runs a private equity firm called JMH Capital. Mr.

yearly budgets, monthly financial reports, and annual reports.
Mr. Brock is Mr. Seely’s first cousin but sees him only

Princeton University and a master’s in architecture from the
University of California. Mr. Brock served on Huber’s board for
13 years and on several other committees. All of the purchasers
of Huber shares from the Brown estate paid the E&Y value.
