What is the primary purpose of this 8-K filing?

This 8-K filing provides an update on Broadcom's previously announced plan to re-domicile its parent company from Singapore to Delaware. It details the progress and next steps in this corporate restructuring, known as the "Redomiciliation."

What is the significance of the "Scheme of Arrangement" and the upcoming court hearing?

The "Scheme of Arrangement" is the legal mechanism under Singapore law that Broadcom is using to implement the re-domiciliation. Shareholder approval has been obtained, and the next critical step is the High Court of Singapore's approval, which is scheduled to be heard on April 2, 2018. This court order is necessary for the scheme to become effective.

How will this re-domiciliation affect existing Broadcom-Singapore shareholders?

If the re-domiciliation is approved by the Singapore Court, shareholders of Broadcom-Singapore will exchange their ordinary shares for newly issued shares of common stock in the Delaware-incorporated parent company, Broadcom Inc. (Broadcom-Delaware), on a one-for-one basis. Broadcom-Singapore will subsequently become a subsidiary of the new Delaware parent.

Where can investors find more detailed information about this restructuring?

Investors can find more comprehensive details about the re-domiciliation in Broadcom's Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, which was filed with the SEC on March 9, 2018. Copies of this and other filings are available on the SEC's website and Broadcom's investor relations website.
