NEW ORLEANS, LA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 08/13/06 -- Kahn Gauthier Swick, LLC ("KGS") announces that it has filed a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division on behalf of shareholders who purchased, exchanged or otherwise acquired the common stock and other securities of Broadcom Corporation ("Broadcom'' or the "Company'') (NASDAQ: BRCM) between July 21, 2005 and July 13, 2006.

Broadcom and certain of its officers and directors are charged with issuing a series of materially false and misleading statements in violation of Section 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. On July 14, 2006, Broadcom announced that it would record more than $750 million in added expenses and restate its past earnings related to the illegal backdating of stock options. Prior to any news of options backdating reaching in the market, shares of Broadcom traded at slightly above $40.00 per share and, thereafter, shares traded down to approximately $27.50 per share -- a rapid decline of over 31%.

Options pricing backdating occurs when options grants to senior officers or directors of public companies are made at prices lower than the trading price of the stock on the date such options are granted. The undisclosed backdating of options violates generally accepted accounting principles.

If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than 60 days from today. Any member of the purported class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.
