IRVINE, Calif. – Nov. 15, 2007 – Broadcom Corporation (Nasdaq: BRCM) announced that at its regular quarterly meeting yesterday the company’s Board of Directors authorized a new program to repurchase shares of Broadcom’s Class A common stock having an aggregate value of up to $1.0 billion, depending on market conditions and other factors. Repurchases under the program may be made from time to time at any time during the period commencing November 19, 2007 and extending through and including December 31, 2008.

The new repurchase program follows Broadcom’s previous $1.0 billion stock repurchase program, which commenced February 12, 2007 and was completed on November 1, 2007.

Repurchases under the new program will be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions in compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-18, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. Broadcom expects to use cash on hand to fund the repurchases. The plan does not obligate Broadcom to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and it may be suspended at any time at the company’s discretion.
