Without admitting or denying the SEC's allegations, Broadcom has agreed to pay a civil penalty of $12 million, and has stipulated to an injunction against future violations of certain provisions of the federal securities laws. The settlement is subject to approval by the court. If court approval is obtained, the settlement will conclude the SEC’s investigation of this matter with respect to Broadcom.
