To All Broadcom Employees Eligible to Participate in the Option Exchange Offer:

As we described in the recent series of employee meetings on the Option Exchange and Supplemental Option program, a web-based modeling tool is now available at http://intranet/stock/new/calc.html.

DISCLAIMER: This model is provided to assist users in analyzing whether or not to tender any of their options in the Broadcom Option Exchange and Supplemental Option Grant Program. Broadcom can not guarantee the accuracy of the calculations performed by the model and we urge users to verify the results of all calculations before making any decisions relating to the program. Neither Broadcom nor any of its employees or agents shall be responsible for any errors in calculations provided by the model. We also urge users to carefully read the entire Offer to Exchange and accompanying Letter of Transmittal before making any decisions about whether or not they should tender any of their options. Broadcom does not make any recommendation as to whether users should tender or refrain from tendering their options for exchange. Users must make their own decisions whether or not to tender any of their options taking into account their own personal circumstances and preferences.
