Broadcom to redomicile to US by April 3

NEW YORK: Singapore-based Broadcom Ltd said on Monday it expects to redomicile to the United States by April 3, two days before the chipmaker’s acquisition target Qualcomm Inc holds its annual shareholder meeting. Broadcom’s $117 billion offer to buy California-based Qualcomm is being reviewed by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) for potential national security threats.


Broadcom said such security concerns were not a risk to the closure of the proposed buyout as it never planned to finish the deal before completing moving its official base to the United States.


Broadcom is incorporated in Singapore and co-headquartered there and in Irvine, California.


Broadcom said last week that CFIUS has ordered the company to provide it with five business days’ notice before taking any action toward moving base to the United States.


The requirement showed that CFIUS, an inter-agency panel led by the US Treasury, was aware that its jurisdiction could be contested if Broadcom redomiciles to the United States. CFIUS had delayed Qualcomm’s annual meeting by a month to April 5. In that meeting, shareholders will also vote for Broadcom’s slate of six nominees for Qualcomm’s 11-member board. — Reuters
