Excerpted from DEFS14A filed on 10/20 by BROADCOM CORP: BROADCOM CORP files special meeting proxy. (4) Date Filed: [BROADCOM LOGO] NOTICE OF 1999 SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD NOVEMBER 22, 1999 TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF BROADCOM CORPORATION: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a Special Meeting of Shareholders (the "Special Meeting") of Broadcom Corporation, a California corporation (the "Company"), will be held on Monday, November 22, 1999, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time at the offices of Brobeck, Phleger & Harrison LLP, 38 Technology Drive, Irvine, California 92618, for the following purposes, as more fully described in the Proxy Statement accompanying this Notice: Item. 1. To approve the amendment of the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the aggregate number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock thereunder from 200,000,000 shares to 400,000,000 shares and to increase the aggregate number of authorized shares of Class B Common Stock thereunder from 100,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares. Item. 2. To approve the amendment of the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to permit the issuance of additional shares of Class B Common Stock upon the approval of at least two-thirds of the members of the Board of Directors then in office. Item. 3. To approve the amendment of the Company's 1998 Stock Incentive Plan: (a) to increase the number of shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance under this plan by an additional 10,000,000 shares; and (b) to revise the automatic share increase provisions of this plan so that the number of shares of Class A Common Stock by which the share reserve is to increase automatically on the first trading day in January each year will be increased to 4.5% of the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding on the last trading day of December in the immediately preceding calendar year, beginning with the January 3, 2000 annual increase, subject to an annual share limit. Item. 4. To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof. Only shareholders of record at the close of business on October 15, 1999 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof. The stock transfer books of the Company will remain open between the record date and the date of the Special Meeting. A list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting will be available for inspection at the executive offices of the Company. Because this is a Special Meeting with only limited items on the agenda, the Company does not presently intend to have any presentations from management as it typically does for its Annual Meeting of Shareholders. As such, we anticipate that this meeting will only last a few minutes. Although you are entitled to attend the Special Meeting and vote in person, we encourage you to complete, sign and date the enclosed Proxy as promptly as possible and return it in the enclosed return envelope. Should you receive more than one Proxy because your shares are registered in different names or addresses, please be sure to sign and return each Proxy to assure that all of your shares will be voted. You may revoke your Proxy at any time prior to the Special Meeting. If you attend the Special Meeting and vote by ballot, your Proxy will be revoked automatically and only your vote at the Special Meeting will be counted. Sincerely, /s/ Henry T. Nicholas Henry T.
