Exhibit (a)(5)(G)
On May 19, 2009, in response to media inquiries regarding the “Investor Presentation” that Emulex Corporation filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on such date, a representative of Broadcom Corporation transmitted the following statement to the media:
“After refusing to engage in constructive discussions about Broadcom’s all-cash proposal, which would deliver substantial, certain and immediate value to Emulex shareholders, the Emulex Board has suddenly produced a set of new, rosy, ‘hockey stick’ projections which may or may not become reality sometime in 2012. We encourage Emulex shareholders to evaluate these forecasts in light of Emulex’s disappointing history of missing forecasts and its recent failure to grow either revenue or market share. Emulex shareholders deserve the right to decide for themselves which future they prefer and it is disappointing that the Emulex board continues to try to prevent its shareholders from being heard on the merits of our proposal.”
