Item 8.01. Other Events.
As disclosed in previous filings, Broadcom Corporation and certain of its current and former officers are named as defendants in a pending federal securities class action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California entitled In re Broadcom Corp. Securities Litigation and a related opt outs case in the same court entitled Arenson, et al. v. Broadcom Corp., et al. On November 24, 2004 the court in those actions filed orders on five motions for partial summary judgment brought by the defendants. The court granted defendants’ motions for partial summary judgment on the forward-looking statements, VisionTech press releases and Silicon Spice press releases made by Broadcom; granted in part and denied in part defendants’ motion for partial summary judgment on the pre-November 9, 2000 statements made by Broadcom; and denied defendant Henry Samueli’s motion for summary judgment. The court has also continued the pretrial conference in the cases until December 10, 200 4 and at that time is expected to set a date for trial on the remaining issues.
