Item 8.01 Other Events.

On January 27, 2010 the Board of Directors of Broadcom Corporation adopted a dividend policy pursuant to which the Company intends to pay quarterly cash dividends on its common stock and declared the first quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share payable to holders of the Company’s common stock. The dividend will be paid March 8, 2010 to holders of the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock of record at the close of business February 19, 2010. The dividend so declared will be paid from U.S. domestic sources other than the Company’s retained earnings and will be treated for accounting purposes as a reduction of shareholders’ equity.

The cash dividend policy and the payment of future cash dividends under that policy are subject to the Board’s continuing determination that the dividend policy and the declaration of dividends thereunder are in the best interests of Broadcom’s shareholders and are in compliance with all laws and agreements of Broadcom applicable to the declaration and payment of cash dividends.

On February 3, 2010 Broadcom issued a related press release announcing its dividend and dividend program. The full text of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this report and is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
