Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(b)        On February 13, 2017, Justine F. Page informed the board of directors (the “Board”) of Broadcom Limited (the “Company”) that she would not be standing for re-election at the Company’s 2017 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “2017 AGM”), scheduled to occur on April 5, 2017. Ms. Page will step down from the Board at the 2017 AGM, upon the completion of her current term. The Board has decided that no other nominee for election will be named in Ms. Page’s place at the 2017 AGM and, with effect from the 2017 AGM, the Board will consist of nine members.

Ms. Page is stepping down from the Board to pursue academic and other interests. There are no disagreements between Ms. Page and the Company.

In light of the valuable service Ms. Page provided to the Company during her tenure as a director, the Board also took action to accelerate the vesting of 1,325 unvested restricted share units held by Ms. Page to the date on which she ceases to be a director.
