On September 2, 2015, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Avago Technologies Limited (“Avago” or the “Company”) approved a Policy on Acceleration of Executive Staff Equity Awards in the Event of Death or Permanent Disability (the “Policy”).

Under the Policy, in the event a Covered Executive experiences a Covered Termination, each outstanding and unvested Company equity and equity-linked award held by such employee that as of such date vests solely based on continued service (including performance-based awards for which the performance criteria have been met as of such date), automatically vests in full.
