Forward Looking Statements

Cautions Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains forward-looking statements which address Avago’s expected future business and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections of future Avago or industry performance, based on management’s judgment, beliefs, current trends and market conditions and involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, we caution you not to place undue reliance on these statements. For Avago, particular uncertainties that could materially affect future results include our ability to achieve the growth prospects and synergies expected from acquisitions we may make, including LSI; delays, challenges and expenses associated with integrating acquired companies with our existing businesses, including LSI; global economic conditions and concerns; cyclicality in the semiconductor industry or in our target markets; loss of our significant customers; increased dependence on the volatile wireless handset market; quarterly and annual fluctuations in operating results; our competitive performance and ability to continue achieving design wins with our customers; market acceptance of the end products into which our products are designed; our target markets not growing as quickly as expected; our dependence on contract manufacturing and outsourced supply chain and our ability to improve our cost structure through our manufacturing outsourcing program; prolonged disruptions of our or our contract manufacturers’ manufacturing facilities or other significant operations; our dependence on outsourced service providers for certain key business services and their ability to execute to our requirements; our ability to maintain or improve gross margin; our ability to maintain tax concessions in certain jurisdictions; our ability to protect our intellectual property and any associated increases in litigation expenses; dependence on and risks associated with distributors of our products; our ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel, particularly design and technical personnel; any expenses associated with resolving customer product and warranty and indemnification claims; and other events and trends on a national, regional and global scale, including those of a political, economic, business, competitive and regulatory nature.

Important additional risk factors that may cause such a difference for Avago in connection with the acquisition of LSI include, but are not limited to unexpected variations in market growth and demand for, matters arising in connection with the parties’ efforts to comply with and satisfy applicable regulatory clearances and closing conditions relating to the transaction and closing conditions relating to the transaction, the risks inherent in acquisitions of technologies and businesses, including the timing and successful completion of technology and product development through volume production, integration issues, costs and unanticipated expenditures, changing relationships with customers, suppliers and strategic partners, potential contractual, intellectual property or employment issues and charges resulting from purchase accounting adjustments or fair value measurements.

Avago’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on September 13, 2013 and other filings with the SEC (which may be obtained for free at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov) discuss some of the important risk factors that may affect Avago’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Avago undertakes no intent or obligation to publicly update or revise any of these forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
