Exhibit 99.1

Email from Rajiv Ramaswami to Broadcom’ employees on October 12, 2011

All,

The NetLogic integration planning process is well underway and I wanted to provide an update on key activities. 

As of today we have made the initial required filings to obtain regulatory clearance.  Three separate filings were necessary. In the U.S., Broadcom and NetLogic completed the HSR (Hart-Scott-Rodino) antitrust filings September 19 and 20. Additional required filings were made in China on October 10 and in Taiwan on October 11. NetLogic has also filed a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC. We are continuing to make progress toward closing and will keep you apprised as we hit key milestones.

We have also established two essential integration teams to spearhead the planning required to bring our companies together – an Integration Steering Committee and an Integration Functional Team –including members from Broadcom and NetLogic. Teams are noted below.

Our guiding principles are to sustain strong product and business momentum, ensure a smooth employee and customer transition, integrate systems and processes as quickly as possible and prepare for Change of Control (CIC) and Go Live.

The team’s efforts will culminate with a full project plan that delivers a seamless integration program over the next 6 to 12 months. As we have previously said, the acquisition is expected to be complete in the first half of 2012.

The integration teams include:

Stay tuned for more news on Broadcom and NetLogic in the coming weeks.  For ongoing updates you can continue to visit our announcement site. Please feel free to reach out to myself, Cindy, or any of the integration leads with questions.

These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause our actual results to differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statement.

Important risk factors that may cause such a difference for Broadcom in connection with the acquisition of NetLogic Microsystems include, but are not limited to unexpected variations in market growth and demand for multi-core network processor and related technologies, matters arising in connection with the parties’ efforts to comply with and satisfy applicable regulatory clearances 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.
