Commission File No. 001-37690

To All Broadcom Employees:

Today we announced that Broadcom intends to redomicile in the United States, the primary base of our corporate operations and management activity. The press release we issued can be found here .

As you know, our parent company, Broadcom Limited, is currently domiciled in Singapore, with our co-headquarters there and in San Jose, California. Today, a significant amount of our operations and more than half of our global employees are located in the U.S., including important centers of R&D and manufacturing. In the current U.S. business climate, redomiciling just makes good business and strategic sense.

Our vision is to build the most valuable semiconductor company in the industry for the benefit of our shareholders, employees and global customers, and we believe that incorporating in the U.S. would best position us to realize this vision and create shareholder value, especially as we look to continue to grow. We will continue to invest in our workforce in the United States and globally and enhance our position as an industry leader.

We do not anticipate the redomiciliation having any impact on our day-to-day business and operations, or affecting employee staffing levels or responsibilities at, or investment in, any of our global locations, including in Singapore.

This is an exciting day for Broadcom, and today’s announcement is just the first step in this process. As we move forward it is important to remain focused on our objectives and on continuing to deliver innovative and superior products to our customers around the world.

As always, if you receive inquiries from the financial community, the media or other outside parties related to this matter, please forward them to Ashish Saran at (408) 433-4557 or [email protected].

Thank you for all that you do. I am proud that Broadcom is a strong, global company with hard working employees across the world.

Regards,

Hock Tan

President and CEO, Broadcom
