Summary
Broadcom Corporation amended its Restricted Stock Unit Incentive Award Program for certain executives and its Chairman in connection with its merger with Avago Technologies. After the merger closes, restricted stock units for completed performance cycles will be paid in cash to the executives and granted as time-based units to the Chairman. For the ongoing performance cycle at closing, performance will be measured at that time, with executives receiving a pro-rata cash payment and the Chairman receiving a pro-rated grant of time-based units, all based on performance and the terms of the merger agreement.
