Brower Piven Announces Class Action Lawsuit Against Broadcom Corporation

The law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, today announced that a securities class action was commenced on behalf of shareholders who purchased or otherwise acquired the common stock of Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ: BRCM) between July 21, 2005 and July 13, 2006, inclusive (the "Class Period").

The case is pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division, against defendant Broadcom and one or more of its officers and/or directors.
