make or grant offers, agreements, options or other instruments (including the grant of awards or options pursuant to our equity-based incentive plans in effect as at the date of this resolution (including the Plan, as defined below, if approved by shareholders at the 2014 AGM)) that might or would require ordinary shares to be allotted and issued, whether such allotment or issuance would occur during or after the expiration of this authority (including, but not limited to, the creation and issuance of warrants, rights, units, purchase contracts, debentures or other instruments (including debt instruments) convertible into ordinary shares),

at any time to and/or with such persons and upon such terms and conditions, for such purposes and for consideration as our directors may in their sole discretion deem fit, and with such rights or restrictions as our directors may think fit to impose and as are set forth in our Articles of Association; and

(b) to allot and issue ordinary shares in our capital pursuant to any offer, agreement, option or other agreement made, granted or authorized by our directors while this resolution was in effect, regardless of whether the authority conferred by this resolution may have ceased to be in effect at the time of the allotment and issuance,

To pass the following resolution as an Ordinary Resolution:

RESOLVED THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Sections 76C and 76E of the Singapore Companies Act and also subject to the provisions of that Act and our Articles of Association:

(i)

market purchases on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or any other stock exchange on which our ordinary shares may for the time being be listed and quoted; and/or

(i)

the date on which our 2015 AGM is held; or

(ii)

the date by which our 2015 AGM is required by law to be held;

(i)

in the case of a market purchase of ordinary shares, the highest independent bid per share or the last independent transaction price per share, whichever is higher, of our ordinary shares quoted or reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market at the time the purchase is effected; and

(ii)

in the case of an off-market purchase pursuant to an equal access scheme, 150% of the Prior Day Close Price, and for the above purposes, the term “Prior Day Close Price” means the closing price per share of our ordinary shares as quoted on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or, as the case may be, any other stock exchange on which our ordinary shares may, for the time being, be listed and quoted on the day immediately preceding the date of the making of the offer pursuant to the off-market purchase. The date of the making of the offer refers to the date on which we announce our intention to make an offer for the purchase or acquisition of

our ordinary shares from holders of our ordinary shares, stating therein the purchase price (which shall not be more than the maximum purchase price calculated on the foregoing basis) for each ordinary share and the relevant terms of the equal access scheme for effecting the off-market purchase; and

(d) our directors and officers and/or any of them be and are hereby authorized to complete and do, or cause to be completed or done, all such acts and things (including executing such documents as may be required) as one or more may consider expedient or necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated and/or authorized by this resolution.

To pass the following as an Ordinary Resolution:

RESOLVED THAT, approval be, and hereby is, given to adopt the Avago Technologies Limited Executive Cash and Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”), that the Compensation Committee of the Board be and it hereby is authorized to implement and administer the Plan and that our directors and officers and/or any of them be and are hereby authorized to complete and do, or cause to be completed or done, all such acts and things (including executing such documents as may be required) as one or more may consider expedient or necessary to give effect to this resolution.

As Ordinary Business

To transact any other business as may properly be transacted at the 2014 AGM.

Notes About the 2014 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders

Singapore Statutory Financial Statements. At the 2014 AGM, our shareholders will have the opportunity to discuss and ask questions regarding our Singapore audited accounts for the fiscal year ended November 3, 2013, together with the reports of the directors and auditors thereon, in compliance with the laws of Singapore. Shareholder approval of our Singapore audited accounts is not being sought by the proxy statement for the 2014 AGM (the “Proxy Statement”) and will not be sought at the 2014 AGM.

Proxy Materials on the Internet. We are pleased to take advantage of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules that allow issuers to furnish proxy materials to some or all of their shareholders on the Internet. In accordance with Singapore law, our registered shareholders (shareholders of record who own our ordinary shares in their own name registered with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A.) will not be able to vote their shares over the Internet, but we will be providing this service to our beneficial holders (shareholders whose ordinary shares are held by a brokerage firm, a bank or other nominee). We believe these rules allow us to provide our shareholders with the information they need, while lowering the costs of delivery and reducing the environmental impact of our Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

Eligibility to Vote at Annual General Meeting of Shareholders; Receipt of Notice. The Board has fixed the close of business on February 11, 2014, as the record date for determining those shareholders who will be entitled to receive copies of this notice and accompanying Proxy Statement or the Notice of Availability of Proxy Materials. However, only registered shareholders or “shareholders of record” on April 9, 2014, will be entitled to vote at the 2014 AGM. If you have sold or transferred all of your ordinary shares of the Company, you should immediately forward this Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy card to the purchaser or transferee, or to the bank, broker or agent through whom the sale was effected, for onward transmission to the purchaser or

transferee. If you hold shares other than in registered form as a shareholder of record, and instead hold your shares as, or through, a participant in DTC, we understand that in order for your vote to be counted at the 2014 AGM, you must also have been a holder of shares as at, and with effect from, February 11, 2014, the date for determining shareholders entitled to receive notice of the 2014 AGM and related proxy materials.

Quorum. The attendance, in person or by proxy, of at least a majority of our outstanding ordinary shares at the 2014 AGM is required to constitute a quorum. Accordingly, it is important that your shares be represented at the 2014 AGM, either in person or by proxy.

Proxies. A shareholder of record, entitled to attend and vote at the 2014 AGM, is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend the meeting and vote on his or her behalf. A proxy need not also be a shareholder. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, please complete, date and sign the enclosed proxy card and return it in the enclosed envelope. If not delivered in person at the 2014 AGM, a proxy card must be received by us c/o Proxy Services, c/o Computershare Investor Services, P.O. Box 43101, Providence, RI 02940-5067, not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the 2014 AGM. A shareholder of record may revoke his or her proxy at any time prior to the time it is voted. Shareholders of record who are present at the meeting may revoke their proxies and vote in person or, if they prefer, may abstain from voting in person and allow their proxies to be voted.

If you are a beneficial owner, you may vote by proxy over the Internet by following the instructions provided in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, or, if you requested printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you may vote by mail.

Mandatory Disclosure Regarding Share Purchase Mandate Funds. Only funds legally available for purchasing or acquiring ordinary shares in accordance with our Articles of Association and applicable laws of Singapore will be used to repurchase our ordinary shares if Proposal 6 (renewal of our Share Purchase Mandate) is approved. In the event that we elect to purchase or acquire any of our ordinary shares, depending on the number of ordinary shares repurchased or acquired and then current market, business and other relevant conditions, we may use our internal sources of funds and/or external borrowings to finance any such purchases or acquisitions. The amount of funds required for us to purchase or acquire our issued ordinary shares, and the impact on our financial position will depend on the number of ordinary shares we purchase or acquire and the price at which we make such purchases. Our directors do not propose to exercise the Share Purchase Mandate in a manner and to such an extent that would materially affect our working capital requirements and those of our subsidiaries.

PROXY STATEMENT

for the

2014 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

SHAREHOLDERS

AVAGO TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

To Be Held on Wednesday, April 9, 2014

11:00 a.m. (Pacific Time)

at the offices of Avago’s principal U.S. subsidiary, Avago Technologies U.S. Inc.,

350 West Trimble Road, San Jose, California 95131, U.S.A.

We are making this Proxy Statement available in connection with the solicitation by the board of directors of Avago (the “Board”) of proxies to be voted at the 2014 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “2014 AGM”), or at any adjournments or postponements thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Notice”). Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Proxy Statement to “Avago,” “the Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” and similar terms are to Avago Technologies Limited.

Proxy Mailing. This Proxy Statement, the enclosed Proxy Card and the Notice were first made available on or about February 20, 2014 to shareholders of record as of February 11, 2014.

Costs of Solicitation. We will bear the cost of soliciting proxies. We intend to retain Georgeson Inc., an independent proxy solicitation firm, to assist us in soliciting proxies for an estimated fee of $13,500 plus reimbursement of reasonable expenses. We and/or our agents, including certain of our officers, directors and employees, may solicit proxies by mail, telephone, e-mail, fax or in person. No additional compensation will be paid to our officers, directors or regular employees for such services. We will reimburse banks, brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in sending proxy materials to and soliciting proxies from beneficial holders of our ordinary shares.

Our Registered Office. The mailing address of our registered office is 1 Yishun Avenue 7, Singapore 768923. Please note, however, that any shareholder communications should be directed to the attention of our General Counsel at the offices of Avago Technologies U.S. Inc., 350 W. Trimble Road, Building 90, San Jose, California 95131, U.S.A.

Financial Statements; Presentation. In accordance with the laws of Singapore, our Singapore statutory financial statements are provided with this Proxy Statement. Except as otherwise stated herein, all monetary amounts in this Proxy Statement have been presented in U.S. dollars.

VOTING RIGHTS AND SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

The close of business on February 11, 2014, is the record date for shareholders entitled to notice of the 2014 AGM. All of our ordinary shares issued and outstanding on April 9, 2014 are entitled to be voted at the 2014 AGM, and shareholders of record on April 9, 2014 will have one vote for each ordinary share so held on the matters to be voted upon. As of February 11, 2014, we had 249,702,431 ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

Proxies. Ordinary shares represented by proxies in the accompanying form, which are properly executed and received by us in accordance with the instructions set forth in the Notice, will be voted by the individuals named therein—Hock E. Tan, Anthony E. Maslowski and Patricia H. McCall (together, the “Proxy Holders”)—at the 2014 AGM in accordance with the shareholders’ instructions set forth in the proxy. A proxy holder need not also be a shareholder.

If you sign and return your proxy but do not indicate how your shares are to be voted, then shares represented by proxies will be voted by the Proxy Holders in accordance with the Board’s recommendations: FOR the election of the Board nominees named in Proposal 1; and FOR each of Proposals 2 to 8.

Management does not know of any matters to be presented at the 2014 AGM other than those set forth in this Proxy Statement and in the Notice accompanying this Proxy Statement, nor have we received notice of any matter by the deadline prescribed by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Rule 14a-4(c). Without limiting our ability to apply the advance notice provisions in our Articles of Association with respect to the procedures that must be followed for a matter to be properly presented at an annual general meeting, if other matters should properly come before the 2014 AGM, the Proxy Holders will vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

Any shareholder of record entitled to attend and vote at the 2014 AGM, has the right to revoke his or her proxy at any time prior to voting at the 2014 AGM by (i) submitting a subsequently dated proxy, which, if not delivered in person at the meeting, must be received by us c/o Proxy Services, c/o Computershare Investor Services, P.O. Box 43101, Providence, RI 02940-5067, no later than 48 hours before the appointed time of the meeting, or (ii) by attending the meeting and voting in person.

If you are an institution and hold your shares in an account with the Depositary Trust Company (“DTC”), vote your shares through DTC’s procedures. Your shares must be voted no less than 48 hours prior to the meeting. You may not vote your shares in person at the 2014 AGM unless you obtain a legal proxy from DTC.

If your ordinary shares are held in “street name” through a broker, bank, or other nominee, you have the right to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote the shares in your account. Your broker, bank or nominee will send you a voting instruction form for you to use to direct how your shares should be voted. If you wish to change or revoke your voting instructions, you will need to contact your broker, bank or other nominee holding your ordinary shares and follow their instructions. You may not vote your shares in person at the 2014 AGM unless you obtain a legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares instead of the broker, bank or other nominee holding your shares. If your shares are held in the name of a broker, trust, bank or other nominee, in order to be admitted to the 2014 AGM you will also need to bring a letter or recent account statement from that broker, bank or other nominee that confirms that you are the beneficial owner of those shares, as well as a picture identification, such as a valid driver’s license or passport, for purposes of personal identification.

If you hold shares other than in registered form as a shareholder of record, and instead hold your shares as, or through, a participant in DTC, we understand that in order for your vote to be counted at the 2014 AGM, you must also have been a holder of shares as at, and with effect from, February 11, 2014, the date for determining shareholders entitled to receive notice of the 2014 AGM and related proxy materials. Shares held other than in registered form by a shareholder of record must be voted no less than 48 hours prior to the meeting. If you become a beneficial holder of shares after February 11, 2014 and before the meeting date and wish to vote your shares, you must become a shareholder of record prior to the meeting date and (i) request a proxy card and return it to Computershare Investor Services in accordance with the procedures noted above or (ii) attend the meeting and vote in person. Please contact your broker, bank or other nominee holding your shares if you wish to become a shareholder of record.

Quorum. Representation at the 2014 AGM, in person or by proxy, of at least a majority of all issued and outstanding ordinary shares is required to constitute a quorum.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” are considered present and entitled to vote at the 2014 AGM, for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a bank, broker or other nominee holding shares on behalf of a beneficial owner may not vote ordinary shares held by it because it (1) has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of those

shares and (2) lacks discretionary voting power to vote those shares. Under our Articles of Association, for a proposal being voted on as an ordinary resolution, abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal. A broker non-vote is treated as not being entitled to vote on the relevant proposal and is not counted for purposes of determining whether a proposal has been approved.

If you are a beneficial owner, your bank, broker or other nominee is entitled to vote your shares on “routine” matters, even if it does not receive voting instructions from you. Routine matters include all of the proposals to be voted on at the 2014 AGM, other than Proposal 1 (election of directors), Proposal 4 (non-binding, advisory vote on executive compensation), Proposal 7 (approval of the Avago Technologies Limited Executive Cash and Equity Incentive Award Plan) and Proposal 8 (approval of Severance Benefit Agreement).

Required Vote. With respect to Proposal 1 (election of directors), nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes of the ordinary shares present in person or represented by proxy at the 2014 AGM and entitled to vote shall be elected, provided that such number of affirmative votes shall not be less than at least a majority of the ordinary shares held by the shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the 2014 AGM and entitled to vote on the proposal.

The affirmative vote of shareholders holding at least a majority of the ordinary shares held by the shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the 2014 AGM and entitled to vote on the proposal is required to approve the re-appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm and independent Singapore auditor pursuant to Proposal 2, and to approve the ordinary resolutions contained in Proposal 3 (directors’ compensation), Proposal 4 (non-binding, advisory vote on executive compensation), Proposal 5 (authorization of ordinary share allotments and issuances), Proposal 6 (renewal of the share purchase mandate), Proposal 7 (approval of the Avago Technologies Limited Executive Cash and Equity Incentive Award Plan) and Proposal 8 (approval of the Severance Benefit Agreement).

Voting Procedures and Tabulation. We have appointed a representative of Computershare Trust Company, N.A. as the inspector of elections to act at the 2014 AGM and to make a written report thereof. Prior to the 2014 AGM, the inspector will sign an oath to perform his or her duties in an impartial manner and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspector will ascertain the number of ordinary shares outstanding and the voting power of each, determine the ordinary shares represented at the 2014 AGM and the validity of proxies and ballots, count all votes and ballots, and perform certain other duties. The determination of the inspector as to the validity of proxies will be final and binding.

PROPOSAL 1:

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

General

Pursuant to the Singapore Companies Act, Chapter 50 (the “Singapore Companies Act”) and our Articles of Association, our Board must have at least one director who is ordinarily resident in Singapore. Pursuant to our Articles of Association, our Board may consist of no more than 13 directors. Our Board currently consists of eight members and each of our directors is elected annually. If all of the nominees for election as a director listed below are elected at the AGM, our Board will consist of nine members.

Director Nominees

Directors are elected at each annual general meeting of shareholders and hold office until their successors are duly elected or qualified. Upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board has nominated the nine individuals below for election as directors, eight of whom are currently directors of the Company. The Board expects that each of the nominees listed below will be available to serve as a director. Shareholders may not vote their proxies for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named below.

In considering whether the director nominees have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills, taken as a whole, to serve as directors of the Company, in light of the Company’s business and structure, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board focused primarily on the information discussed in each of the director nominee’s biographical information set forth below. The Board believes that each nominee has relevant experience, personal and professional integrity, the ability to make independent, analytical inquiries, experience with and understanding of our business and business environment and willingness and ability to devote adequate time to Board duties.

Mr. Marks’ qualifications to serve on the Board include his extensive leadership experience in senior management and executive positions with multinational organization, as well as his familiarity with operational and strategic issues relating to technology focused companies with international operations.

Mr. Guilmart is our Singapore resident director. Due to the Singapore Companies Act requirement that we have at least one director who is ordinarily resident in Singapore in office at all times, in the event that Mr. Guilmart is not re-elected at the 2014 AGM, he will continue in office after the 2014 AGM as a member of the Board until his qualifying successor (i.e., a Singapore resident director) is appointed.

In the event that a director resigns from the Board or otherwise becomes unwilling or unable to serve after the mailing of this Proxy Statement but before the 2014 AGM, our intention would be to make a public announcement of such resignation and either leave such Board seat vacant or appoint a substitute nominee. If such Board seat were left vacant, this would reduce the number of director nominees to be elected at the 2014 AGM. Votes received in respect of such director would not be counted in such circumstances. In the event that we instead propose to elect a different director nominee at the 2014 AGM to fill any such vacancy, it is intended that the shares represented by the proxy will be voted for such substitute nominee as may be designated by the Board.

There are no family relationships between any of our directors or executive officers.

The Board recommends a vote FOR the election of each of the director nominees listed above to the Board.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board of Directors

Our Articles of Association give our Board general powers to manage our business. The Board oversees and provides policy guidance on our strategic and business planning processes, oversees the conduct of our business by senior management and is principally responsible for the succession planning for our key executives, including our President and Chief Executive Officer.

Our Board held a total of 10 meetings during the fiscal year ended November 3, 2013 (“Fiscal Year 2013”). During Fiscal Year 2013, all directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of our Board together with the total number of meetings held by all committees of our Board on which he or she served, counting only those meetings during which such person was a member of our Board and of the respective committee, except for Mr. Hsuan, who stepped down from the Board in June 2013. Our non-employee directors and our independent directors meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management participation.

Our Board has adopted a policy that encourages each director to attend the annual general meetings of our shareholders, but attendance is not required. All but two of our directors attended our 2013 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

Director Independence

Our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of each director and nominee for director and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. The Board has made the determination that transactions or relationships between the Company and an entity where a director or nominee for director of the Company serves as a non-employee director and/or is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly of less than 10% of such entity, or where a director or nominee for director of the Company serves on a non-employee advisory board of, or in a non-employee advisory capacity to, such an entity are presumed immaterial for the purposes of assessing a director’s independence.

In reviewing the directors’ and the nominee for director’s independence, with respect to Mr. Hao, the Board considered that payments made to or received from Silver Lake, where Mr. Hao is a Managing Director, during each of their last three respective fiscal years were less than 1% of the Company’s and Silver Lake’s respective consolidated net revenues for such years. The Board also considered that investment funds affiliated with Silver Lake, together with investment funds affiliated with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. (i) controlled a majority of the Company’s shares until December 2010 and together beneficially owned approximately 9% of the Company’s shares prior to their sale in December 2012, and (ii) were party to a Shareholder Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement with the Company until January 2013 when they were terminated. In addition, the Board considered that an investment fund affiliated with Silver Lake entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with the Company on December 15, 2013, pursuant to which the investment fund agreed to purchase $1 billion aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 2.0% Convertible Senior Notes, in connection with the pending purchase by a subsidiary of the Company of LSI Corporation, discussed in more detail under “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” starting on page 79. With respect to Mr. Guilmart, the Board considered that (i) Mr. Guilmart is the President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of Kulicke & Soffa Industries, Inc. (“K&S”), (ii) the Company has occasionally made purchases of equipment and related replacement parts and equipment servicing from K&S, in the ordinary course on an arms-length basis, that were immaterial both in amount and significance and (iii) at the time of his appointment to the Board, and during the three fiscal years preceding such appointment, Mr. Guilmart owned, and currently owns, less than 1% of the outstanding shares of K&S.

As a result of its review, our Board has determined that Messrs. Dickson, Diller, Eggebrecht, Guilmart, Hao, Macleod and Marks and Ms. Lien, representing eight of our nine director nominees, are currently “independent directors” as defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Director Retirement Age

Under Sections 153(2) and (6) of the Singapore Companies Act, the office of a director of a public company becomes vacant at the conclusion of the annual general meeting of shareholders first held after such director attains the age of 70 years, and any re-appointment of such director must be approved by our shareholders by ordinary resolution.

Directors With Significant Job Change

The Board has adopted a policy that requires any director who retires from his or her present employment, or who materially changes his or her position, to submit an offer of resignation as a director to the Board. The Board will then evaluate whether the individual should continue to sit on the Board in light of his or her new occupational status and decide whether or not to accept the director’s offer of resignation.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Management

The Board believes that at the present time Avago and its shareholders are best served by a Board leadership structure in which the roles of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board are held by different individuals. Under this structure our Chief Executive Officer is generally responsible for setting the strategic direction of the Company and for the day-to-day leadership of the Company’s operations. The Chairman provides strong independent leadership to assist the Board in fulfilling its role of overseeing the management of Avago and its risk management practices, approves the agenda for meetings of the Board and presides over Board meetings and over the meetings of our non-management and independent directors in executive session. Currently, Mr. Tan serves as our President and Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Diller, an independent director, serves as Chairman of our Board.

The Board is responsible for overseeing the management of risks facing the Company, both as a whole and through its committees. The Board regularly reviews and discusses with management information regarding our operations, liquidity and credit, as well as the risks associated with each. The Audit Committee reviews and discusses with management significant financial, legal and regulatory risks and the steps management takes to monitor, control and report such exposures. It also oversees the Company’s periodic enterprise-wide risk evaluations conducted by management. The Compensation Committee oversees management of risks relating to the Company’s compensation plans and programs for executives and employees in general. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees management of risks associated with Board governance, director independence and conflicts of interest. Additional details regarding the responsibilities of each of these committees is discussed in more detail below, under the heading “Board Committees.” The committees report regularly to the Board on matters relating to the specific areas of risk the committees oversee. Members of management periodically report on the Company’s risk management policies and practices to the relevant Board committees and to the full Board.

Our Board has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The table below provides the current membership for each of the committees and the number of meetings held by each committee during Fiscal Year 2013.

•

the appointment, compensation, retention, qualifications and independence of our independent registered public accounting firm;

•

the performance of our internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm;

•

our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; and

•

related party transactions.

The members of our Audit Committee meet the requirements for financial literacy under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market. Our Board has determined that Mr. Macleod is an audit committee financial expert as defined under the applicable rules of the SEC and has the requisite financial sophistication as defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Ms. Lien and Messrs. Diller and Macleod are independent directors as defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable standards of the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee is currently comprised of Messrs. Macleod, Dickson and Diller. The Compensation Committee is responsible for determining our executives’ base compensation and incentive compensation, including designing (in consultation with management or the Board) and recommending to the Board for approval and evaluating, our compensation plans, policies and programs, administering our stock option and other equity-based plans and approving the terms of equity-based grants pursuant to those plans. The Compensation Committee has the full authority to determine and approve the compensation of our chief executive officer in light of relevant corporate performance goals and objectives. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association and Nasdaq, the Compensation Committee may delegate its responsibilities to a subcommittee. Messrs. Macleod, Dickson and Diller are independent directors as defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable standards of the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market. For information on the processes and procedures followed by the Compensation Committee for the consideration and determination of executive compensation and the role of its compensation consultant and our chief executive officer, see the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section beginning on page 42 of this Proxy Statement.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is currently comprised of Ms. Lien and Messrs. Dickson and Guilmart. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for identifying qualified candidates to become directors, recommending to the Board candidates for all directorships,

overseeing the annual evaluation of the Board and its committees and taking a leadership role in shaping the corporate governance of the Company. Ms. Lien and Messrs. Dickson and Guilmart are independent directors as defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee operates under a written charter that satisfies the applicable standards of the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates for director who are recommended by its members, by other Board members and members of our management, as well as those identified by any third-party search firms retained by it to assist in identifying and evaluating possible candidates. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will also consider recommendations for director candidates submitted by our shareholders if they meet the specific criteria set forth under “Shareholder Nominations to Our Board of Directors” below. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate and recommend to the Board qualified candidates for election, re-election or appointment to the Board, as applicable.

When evaluating director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks to ensure that the Board has the requisite skills, experience and expertise and that its members consist of persons with appropriately diverse and independent backgrounds. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider all aspects of a candidate’s qualifications in the context of the needs of the Company, including: personal and professional integrity, ethics and values; experience and expertise as an officer in corporate management; experience in the Company’s industry and international business and familiarity with the Company; experience as a board member of another publicly traded company; practical and mature business judgment; the extent to which a candidate would fill a present need on the Board; and the other ongoing commitments and obligations of the candidate. However, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have any minimum criteria for director candidates. Consideration of new director candidates will typically involve a series of internal discussions, review of information concerning candidates and interviews with selected candidates. Mr. Guilmart, who joined the Board in June 2013, and Mr. Marks, who joined the Board in December 2013, were each first suggested as a prospective Board candidate by a third-party search firm engaged by the Company, at the direction of the Board, and each of them was then evaluated by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee according to its practice described above. Mr. Eggebrecht was first suggested as a prospective Board candidate by one of our independent directors and was then evaluated by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee according to its practice described above.

Code of Ethics and Business Conduct

Our Board has adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct that is applicable to all members of the Board, executive officers and employees, including our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and principal accounting officer. The Code of Ethics and Business Conduct is available in the “Investors—Governance” section of our website (http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=203541&p=irol-govHighlights) under “Code of Ethics and Business Conduct.” Shareholders may also request a copy in print from: Investor Relations, c/o Avago Technologies U.S. Inc., 350 West Trimble Road, Building 90, San Jose, CA 95131, U.S.A.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The current members of our Compensation Committee, Messrs. Macleod, Dickson and Diller are not, and have never been, officers or employees of our company. During Fiscal Year 2013, none of our executive officers served on the board of directors or compensation committee of any other entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our Board or our Compensation Committee.

Risk Assessment and Compensation Practices

Our management conducted its annual review of the Company’s compensation policies and practices for our employees as they relate to our risk management in January 2014, and reported its findings to the Compensation

Committee. Management has concluded that our compensation policies and practices (described in more detail under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and “Executive Compensation” below) balance short and long-term goals and awards, as well as the mix of the cash and equity components. Based upon this review, we believe the elements of our compensation programs do not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk-taking, and are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company in the future.

This Proxy Statement, including the preceding paragraph, contains forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events. Forward-looking statements contained in this Proxy Statement should be considered in light of the many uncertainties that affect our business and specifically those factors discussed from time to time in our public reports filed with the SEC, such as those discussed under the heading, “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal Year 2013 (the “2013 Form 10-K”), and as may be updated in subsequent SEC filings.

Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee has retained Compensia, Inc. (“Compensia”) as its compensation consultant to advise the committee on executives’ and directors’ compensation. Compensia has not provided and does not provide any other services to the Company that are not at the direction of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has assessed the independence of Compensia pursuant to SEC rules and concluded that no conflict of interest exists that would prevent Compensia from serving as an independent consultant to the Compensation Committee.

Director Share Ownership Guidelines

At the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, our Board implemented share ownership guidelines for non-employee directors, effective January 2011. The ownership guidelines encourage our non-employees directors to hold a minimum of 7,500 of our ordinary shares or such number of shares having a fair market value equal to three times the annual cash retainer paid to non-employee directors for service on our Board (which would currently amount to $150,000, or $180,000 if Proposal 3 is approved by shareholders), whichever is less. The guidelines encourage our non-employee directors to reach this goal within five years of the date the Board approved the guidelines or the date of their appointment or election to our Board, whichever is later, and to hold at least such minimum value in shares for as long as he or she serves on our Board.

DIRECTORS’ COMPENSATION

Under the laws of Singapore, our shareholders must approve all cash compensation paid to our non-employee directors. We do not compensate our management directors for their service on the Board or any committee of the Board.

Non-Employee Directors’ Current Compensation

Our shareholders approved the current cash compensation arrangements for our non-employee directors (which are those directors not employed by us or any subsidiary) at our 2012 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. We currently pay the following annual cash compensation to our non-employee directors as follows, payable quarterly:


	Current Annual Fees

Our non-employee directors also receive certain equity awards in consideration for their service on our Board, as set forth in more detail below. Non-employee directors are also reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses related to their attendance at Board and committee meetings. Non-employee directors do not receive any non-equity incentive compensation, or participate in any pension plan or deferred compensation plan.

Our Board previously approved the following equity compensation for our non-employee directors, effective September 2011.

•

Upon appointment to the Board, each new non-employee director shall receive an initial equity grant under the Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “2009 Plan”) with a notional target fair market value of $450,000 on the date of grant, comprised 50% of stock options and 50% of restricted share units (“RSUs”), with such awards vesting one-third annually over three years (an “Initial Award”), subject to the director’s continued service on the Board.

Commencing in the fourth year of service, each non-employee director shall receive an annual equity grant under the 2009 Plan with a notional target fair market value of $150,000 on the date of grant, to be granted on the date of each Annual General Meeting of Shareholders occurring in and after the director’s fourth year of service, subject to the director’s re-election at such meeting (“Annual Award”). Non-employee directors may elect to receive an Annual Award either 100% in stock options or 50% in stock options and 50% in RSUs (a “Split Annual Award”). Annual Awards vest in full one year from the date of grant, subject to the director’s continued service on the Board.

To determine the number of shares to be awarded to a non-employee director pursuant to such grants, the notional target fair market value of the grant ($450,000 or $150,000 depending on whether it is an Initial Award or an Annual Award) is divided by the Black Scholes value of an option to purchase one ordinary share (calculated using the average of the closing market prices, as quoted on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, over the 30 calendar days immediately preceding the date of grant) (the “Notional Share Amount”). For Initial Awards and for Split Annual Awards, half of this Notional Share Amount represents the number of shares that will be issued pursuant to options. The remaining half of the Notional Share Amount is then divided by three to

determine the number of RSUs that will be granted. Due primarily to the fact that the ratio of the fair market value of an RSU to the Black Scholes value of an option share is not always three to one, the actual aggregate grant date fair market value of an Initial Award or a Split Annual Award may be greater or less than the notional fair value of the award at the time of grant. For an Annual Award consisting solely of stock options, the Notional Share Amount represents the number of shares that will be issued pursuant to options.

In connection with the Compensation Committee’s review of our non-employee directors’ compensation program, discussed in more detail below, on the Compensation Committee’s recommendation, on September 4, 2013 the Board approved changes to the equity compensation of our directors, increasing the notional target fair market value of the Initial Awards and the Annual Awards to $500,000 and $170,000, respectively, effective immediately.

The exercise price per share of a non-employee director’s options is equal to the fair market value of an ordinary share on the grant date, and a director’s options expire five years from the date of grant (or earlier if the optionee ceases to be a director). RSUs do not have an exercise price associated with them.

Non-Employee Directors’ Proposed Cash Compensation

In September 2013, the Compensation Committee, assisted by Compensia, the committee’s independent compensation consultant, conducted a review of our non-employee director compensation program. This review was conducted to ascertain whether our non-employee directors’ compensation was competitive with that of our established peer group of companies, which group is discussed below under the heading “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.” The Compensation Committee reviewed, among other things, the current cash compensation of our non-employee directors, the total compensation of our non-employee Chairperson of the Board, the grant date fair value of equity awards previously made to non-employee directors. The Compensation Committee, with the assistance of Compensia, also took into consideration compensation trends for non-employee directors.

Based on Compensia’s review and analysis of the compensation practices of our peer group, the Compensation Committee determined that the Company’s non-employee director program delivered average total direct compensation at the peer 22^nd percentile. In particular:

•

average cash compensation paid to our non-employee directors for service on our Board was below the 25th percentile of cash compensation paid to non-employee directors within the peer group;

•

average cash compensation for service as the Chairperson of the Board was below the 25th percentile;

•

the grant date fair value of (i) the initial equity award made to our directors for service on our Board, on an annualized basis (because annual grants do not commence until the third year after service) and (ii) the grant date fair value of the annual equity awards made to our directors were each below the 25th percentile of similar equity awards made to non-employee directors within the peer group.

Based on Compensia’s analysis, and upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, our Board approved changes to our non-employee directors’ compensation, subject to shareholders’ approval of non-employee directors’ cash compensation at the 2014 AGM, as required by Singapore law. As directors’ cash compensation runs from annual general meeting to annual general meeting, changes in directors’ cash compensation will take effect commencing on April 10, 2014, the day after our 2014 AGM, if they are approved

by shareholders at that meeting. If approved by shareholders, with effect from April10, 2014 non-employee directors’ cash compensation for service on the Board and its committees would be as follows:


	Proposed Annual Fees
	Non-Employee Directors		Independent Non-Employee Directors
Board membership (other than Chairperson of the Board)	$	60,000	$	60,000
Chairperson of the Board		—	$	120,000
Committee membership (other than committee chairperson)		—	$	10,000	*
Chairperson of the Audit Committee		—	$	25,000	*
Chairperson of the Compensation Committee		—	$	15,000	*
Chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee		—	$	12,500	*

Columns represent the grant date fair value of RSU awards, or option awards, as applicable, granted in Fiscal Year 2013, determined in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic Number 718 (“ASC 718”). The grant date fair value of RSU awards is based on the closing price of our ordinary shares on the date of grant. For a discussion of valuation assumptions used in the calculation of the grant date fair value of option awards, see Note 9 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV, Item 8 of our 2013 Form 10-K. Other than in the case of Mr. Guilmart, the amounts shown represent the grant date fair values of an option to purchase 9,854 shares and 3,285 RSUs granted on April 10, 2013. With respect to Mr. Guilmart, the amounts shown represent the grant date fair values of an option to purchase 23,094 shares and 7,698 RSUs granted to Mr. Guilmart on June 5, 2013 in connection with his appointment to the Board. The table below shows the aggregate number of ordinary shares underlying stock options and RSUs held by our non-employee directors as of November 3, 2013:


Name	Number of Ordinary Shares Underlying Restricted Share Units (#)		Number of Ordinary Shares Underlying Outstanding Stock Options (#)
John T. Dickson		4,248		19,116
James V. Diller		3,285		24,670

Represents dividends paid on shares received upon exercise of options previously granted to the director as compensation, as dividends were not factored into the grant date fair value for the options because they were granted prior to our adoption of ASC 718. These option awards were accounted for under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations and provided the required pro forma disclosures of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.”

(3)	Shares on which dividends were paid are held by Mr. Clammer as Trustee for the Adam H Clammer & Katherine G Harbin 2007 Joint Revocable Trust. Mr. Clammer’s term as a director ended on April 10, 2013, at the 2013 AGM.

(4)	Shares on which dividends were paid are held by Mr. Diller as Trustee for the James & June Diller Trust UA dated 7/20/77, for the June P. Diller Annuity trust – 2010B dated May 10, 2010 and for the James V. Diller Annuity Trust—2010B dated May 10, 2010.

(5)	Mr. Guilmart was appointed to the Board on June 5, 2013.

(6)	Pursuant to Mr. Hao’s arrangement with Silver Lake with respect to director compensation, dividends received by Mr. Hao on shares received by him from the exercise of options or the vesting of RSUs received as director compensation are required to be remitted to Silver Lake.

PROPOSAL 2:

APPROVAL OF THE RE-APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC

ACCOUNTING FIRM AND INDEPENDENT SINGAPORE AUDITOR FOR FISCAL YEAR 2014 AND AUTHORIZATION OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE TO FIX ITS REMUNERATION

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is our independent registered public accounting firm in the U.S. and audits our consolidated financial statements. During Fiscal Year 2013, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in Singapore was our independent Singapore auditor of our Singapore statutory financial statements. Pursuant to Section 205(2) and 205(4) of the Singapore Companies Act, any appointment after the Board’s initial appointment of our independent Singapore auditor, or its subsequent removal, requires the approval of our shareholders. The Audit Committee has approved, subject to shareholder approval, the re-appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm and the independent Singapore auditor for the fiscal year ending November 2, 2014 (“Fiscal Year 2014”). Pursuant to Section 205(16) of the Singapore Companies Act, the remuneration of a company’s auditors shall be fixed by the shareholders in a general meeting or the shareholders may authorize directors to fix the remuneration. The Board believes that it is appropriate for the Audit Committee, as part of its oversight responsibilities, to fix the auditors’ remuneration. The Board is therefore also requesting that the shareholders authorize the Audit Committee to fix the auditors’ remuneration for service rendered through our 2015 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “2015 AGM”). We expect a representative from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to be present at the 2014 AGM. This representative will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she so desires and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Principal Accounting Fees and Services

Set forth below are the aggregate fees charged to the Company for the services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, relating to Fiscal Year 2013 and the fiscal year ended October 28, 2012 (“Fiscal Year 2012”).


	Fiscal Year 2013		Fiscal Year 2012
	($ in thousands)
Audit Fees	$	3,016	$	2,697
Audit-Related Fees		194		88
Tax Fees		502		183
All Other Fees		4		4

Total	$	3,716	$	2,972

Audit Fees consist of fees for professional services provided in connection with the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements, audit of internal control over financial reporting, the review of our quarterly consolidated financial statements, and audit services that are normally provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years, such as statutory audits. The fees for Fiscal Year 2013 include fees related to business combination accounting for our recently closed acquisitions. The fees for Fiscal Year 2012 include services in connection with a secondary offering of the Company’s ordinary shares in December 2012, including comfort letters, consents and review of documents filed with the SEC.

Audit-Related Fees consist of fees for assurance and related services by our independent registered public accounting firm that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our consolidated financial statements and not included in Audit Fees. In Fiscal Year 2013, these fees included fees related to providing certification audits to the Singapore Economic Development Board in connection with our tax incentive arrangements in Singapore and consultations relating to the Company’s business development activities.

Tax Fees consist of fees incurred for various tax transfer pricing studies in Fiscal Year 2012 and Fiscal Year 2013, intellectual property restructuring consultation for a recently completed acquisition in Fiscal Year 2013, and research and development credit consultations and customs duty assistance in Fiscal Year 2012.

All Other Fees consist of fees for professional services rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm for permissible non-audit services. In Fiscal Year 2012 and Fiscal Year 2013, these fees consisted of a license for specialized accounting research software.

In considering the nature of the services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Audit Committee determined that such services are compatible with the provision of independent audit services. The Audit Committee discussed these services with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and our management to determine that they are permitted under the rules and regulation concerning independent registered public accounting firms’ independence promulgated by the SEC to implement the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

Except as stated above, there were no other fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for Fiscal Year 2012 and Fiscal Year 2013. The Audit Committee considers the provision of these services to be compatible with maintaining the independence of our independent registered public accounting firm.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy

The Audit Committee is responsible for selecting the independent registered public accounting firm to be employed by us to audit our financial statements, subject to approval by our shareholders of such appointment. The Audit Committee also assumes responsibility for the retention, compensation, oversight and termination of any independent auditor employed by us. All engagements with the Company’s independent registered accounting firm, regardless of amount, must be authorized in advance by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has delegated its pre-approval authority to the Chairperson of the Audit Committee, provided that any matters approved in such manner are presented to the Audit Committee at its next meeting. Pursuant to the charter of the Audit Committee, committee approval of non-audit services (other than review and attest services) is not required, if such services fall within available exceptions established by the SEC. However, to date, the Audit Committee’s policy has been to approve all services provided by the Company’s independent registered accounting firm. The independent registered public accounting firm and our management are required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with the committee’s pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date.

In connection with Mr. Guilmart’s appointment to the Board, the Audit Committee pre-approved, on a prospective basis, arms’ length transactions (excluding the provision of professional services) between the Company and K&S of less than $120,000 individually or in the aggregate in any fiscal year of the Company.

During Fiscal Year 2012 and Fiscal Year 2013, all services provided to us by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

The Board recommends a vote FOR the approval of the re-appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and independent Singapore auditor for Fiscal Year 2014 and authorization of the Audit Committee to fix its remuneration.

PROPOSAL 3:

ORDINARY RESOLUTION TO APPROVE NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS’ CASH COMPENSATION

Under the laws of Singapore, our shareholders must approve all cash compensation paid by us to our directors for services rendered in their capacity as directors. Accordingly, we are seeking shareholder approval to provide payment of the following cash compensation to our non-employee directors for service on the Board and its committees during the period of approximately 12 months from April 10, 2014, the day after our 2014 AGM, through the date on which our 2015 AGM is held, and for each approximately 12-month period thereafter, as follows:

•

annual cash compensation of $60,000 to each of our non-employee directors, other than the Chairperson of the Board, and cash compensation of $120,000 to the independent Chairperson of the Board;

•

additional annual cash compensation of $25,000 to the chairperson of the Audit Committee, provided that such person is an independent director;

•

additional annual cash compensation of $15,000 to the chairperson of the Compensation Committee, provided that such person is an independent director;

•

additional annual cash compensation of $12,500 to the chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, provided that such person is an independent director;

•

additional cash compensation of $10,000 to each of our independent directors in respect of each of the foregoing committees of the Board on which they serve, other than service as chairperson of any such committee of the Board; and

•

appropriate pro rata cash compensation, based on the annual cash compensation set forth above, as applicable, to (i) any director who ceases to be a director, Chairperson of the Board or member of chairperson of any committee of the Board following the 2014 AGM and prior to the 2015 AGM and (ii) any new non-employee director who is appointed by the Board, any independent director who is appointed to the position of Chairperson of the Board or chairperson of any such committee of the Board or any independent director who is appointed to serve on any such committee of the Board, in each case after the date of our 2014 AGM, for their services rendered as a director and/or committee member for any period less than 12 months.

The above reflects the changes to the cash compensation for non-employee directors’ service on the Board and for the Chairpersons of the Board recommended by the Compensation Committee, after consultation with Compensia, and approved by the Board, subject to shareholder approval thereof, as discussed under “Directors’ Compensation” on page 14.

We believe that this authorization will benefit our shareholders by enabling us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as members of our Board and to continue to provide leadership for our company.

The Board recommends a vote FOR the resolution to approve the non-employee directors’, the Board Chairperson’s, the committee chairpersons’ and the committee members’ cash compensation.

PROPOSAL 4:

NON-BINDING, ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are including in this Proxy Statement this proposal for shareholders to approve, in a non-binding, advisory vote, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC, set forth in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and in the compensation tables and accompanying narrative disclosure under “Executive Compensation” set forth elsewhere in the Proxy Statement.

Shareholders are encouraged to read the “Executive Compensation” section of this Proxy Statement, as well as the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section, which discusses our compensation policies, procedures and programs and the Fiscal Year 2013 compensation for the Company’s named executive officers listed in the 2013 Summary Compensation Table included in the “Executive Compensation” section of this Proxy Statement.

Our compensation program for executives is designed to achieve the following:

•

attract and retain qualified, experienced and talented executives, understanding competitive pressures from our Peer Group Companies (as defined in Compensation Discussion and Analysis);

•

motivate and reward executives whose skills, knowledge and performance are critical to the on-going success of our Company;

•

encourage executives to focus on the achievement of corporate and financial performance goals and metrics by aligning the incentive reward program to the achievement of both functional/divisional goals and corporate goals; and

•

align the interests of our executives with those of our shareholders.

Our Executive Compensation Is Aligned With Our Performance:

•

Stockholder Alignment—Strong Total Shareholder Return. During Fiscal Year 2013, our share price increased by approximately 35% and we achieved a total shareholder return of approximately 41% (including the impact of our dividends). Since our initial public offering in August 2009 up to the end of Fiscal Year 2013, our share price has increased 198%.

•

Return of Significant Capital to our Shareholders. During Fiscal Year 2013 we returned approximately $95 million to our shareholders through share repurchases and paid an aggregate of $198 million in cash dividends to our shareholders. We have increased our quarterly dividend every quarter since the initiation of our cash dividend in December 2010.

•

Annual Cash Incentives Reflect Company Performance. Payouts under our annual cash incentive bonus program are tied to pre-established operational and financial performance goals. Our pre-established performance goals are rigorous and designed to be difficult to achieve. For Fiscal Year 2011, we exceeded our revenue growth and our non-GAAP operating income targets, resulting in bonus payouts of between 120% and 150% of target for the NEOs. For Fiscal Year 2012, we did not achieve the minimum revenue or non-GAAP operating income thresholds, although some divisional and functional goals were achieved at various levels, which resulted in cash incentive payouts ranging between 46% and 72% of target for the NEOs, other than our CEO. Our CEO did not receive any cash incentive award in 2012. For Fiscal Year 2013, although our overall financial results were strong compared to Fiscal Year 2012, our corporate revenue and non-GAAP operating income targets were not fully achieved. This decreased our annual cash incentive payouts accordingly. Attainment levels for business unit/function performance targets were mixed, with some targets not being achieved and others being met or exceeded. Resulting cash incentive payouts for 2013 ranged from 89% and 122% of target for the NEOs under our annual cash incentive bonus program.

•

We Pay for Performance. In Fiscal Year 2012, although our overall financial results improved slightly compared to Fiscal Year 2011, many of the targets established under our annual cash incentive program were not fully achieved. As a result total cash compensation for our NEOs (the sum of base salary and annual incentive bonus payouts) was considerably lower than Fiscal Year 2011 levels. The aggregate amount paid to our NEOs under our annual cash incentive program decreased from $3.4 million for Fiscal Year 2011 to $0.7 million for Fiscal Year 2012. Our CEO’s total compensation for Fiscal Year 2012 was below the 25^th percentile of our peer group.

•

Equity as a Key Component of Compensation. In Fiscal Year 2013, we introduced a program of annual equity awards for all of our employees, including executives, in order to more closely align our equity program with market practices. We also introduced performance-based option awards for our executives, with performance criteria based on sustained increases in the Company’s share price, in order to more closely align our executives interests with those of our shareholders. For our NEOs, approximately 53% of the value of their annual Fiscal Year 2013 grant was in the form of performance-based options. With the exception of the special, performance-based retention equity award made to Mr. Tan discussed below, the Fiscal Year 2013 performance-based option awards are not exercisable until the date on which the average of the closing prices of the Company’s ordinary shares over a ten consecutive trading day period is equal to or greater than 120% of the exercise price of the option. Our CEO did not receive any equity grant in Fiscal Year 2012.

•

Performance-Based Retention Grant to our CEO. In Fiscal Year 2013, we approved a special, performance-based retention equity award to our CEO, consisting of the grant of two performance-based options to acquire an aggregate of 2,500,000 ordinary shares of the Company, each of which vest over a four-year period, but which may only be exercised if five increasing share-price targets, each relating to 20% of the shares subject to the applicable option, are met. The share price targets range from $50.00 per share to $75.00 per share. In order to be exercisable, the average of the closing price per share of the Company, as quoted on the Nasdaq, over 30 consecutive trading days must equal or exceed the relevant share price target. Mr. Tan will not realize any value from the options unless and until the relevant price contingencies are met. Based on the closing share price of $38.99, as quoted on the Nasdaq on September 13, 2013, the date of approval of the award, attainment of the lowest price contingency of $50.00 would represent an increase in the Company’s share price of approximately 28%, and attainment of the highest price contingency of $75.00 would represent an increase in the Company’s share price of approximately 92%. The first performance-based option comprising this award was granted on September 13, 2013, covers 1,750,000 ordinary shares and has an exercise price per share of $38.99. The second performance-based option was granted on January 2, 2014, covers 750,000 ordinary shares and has an exercise price of $52.65. The award incentivizes our CEO to remain with Avago and to drive sustained value creation over the next four to seven years. Upon achievement of any of the performance thresholds, our stockholders may immediately realize the value of the corresponding share price appreciation, while our CEO remains subject to the time vesting feature of the award.

Board Recommends Vote “FOR” Our Executive Compensation:

Our Board believes that our current executive compensation program aligns the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders. We intend that our compensation programs reward actions and outcomes that are consistent with the sound operation of our Company and are aligned with the creation of long-term stockholder value.

For the reasons discussed above, the Board recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the following resolution:

“Resolved, that the stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers, as disclosed pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and the accompanying narrative disclosure of this proxy statement.”

While the vote on this resolution is advisory and not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or the Board, the Compensation Committee and the Board value the opinions that shareholders express in their votes and will consider the outcome of the vote on this resolution when considering future executive compensation arrangements. We currently conduct triannual advisory votes on executive compensation, and we expect to conduct the next advisory vote on executive compensation at our 2017 annual meeting of stockholders.

The Board recommends that shareholders vote, on a non-binding, advisory basis, FOR the resolution to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.

PROPOSAL 5:

ORDINARY RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE ORDINARY SHARE ALLOTMENTS AND ISSUANCES

We are incorporated in the Republic of Singapore. Under the laws of Singapore, our directors may issue ordinary shares and make offers or agreements or grant options that might or would require the issuance of ordinary shares only with the prior approval of our shareholders. We are submitting this proposal to authorize our Board to allot and issue our ordinary shares from time to time, as set forth in the Notice, because we are required to do so under the laws of Singapore before we can issue any ordinary shares in connection with our equity compensation plans, possible future strategic transactions, or public and private offerings.

If this proposal is approved, the authorization would be effective from the date of the 2014 AGM and continue until the earlier of (i) the conclusion of the 2015 AGM or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the 2015 AGM is required by the laws of Singapore to be held. The 2015 AGM is required to be held no later than 15 months after the date of the 2014 AGM. The laws of Singapore allow for an application to be made with the Singapore Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority for an extension of up to an additional three months of the time in which to hold an annual general meeting of shareholders, which may be granted in the discretion of that Authority.

The Board believes that it is advisable and in the best interests of our shareholders for our shareholders to authorize the directors to issue ordinary shares and to make, enter into or grant offers, agreements or options that might or would require the issuance of ordinary shares. In the future, the directors may need to issue shares or make agreements that would require the allotment and issuance of new ordinary shares. For example:

•

in connection with strategic transactions and acquisitions;

•

pursuant to public and private offerings of our ordinary shares, as well as instruments (including debt instruments) convertible into our ordinary shares; or

•

in connection with our equity compensation plans and arrangements.

Notwithstanding this general authorization to allot and issue our ordinary shares, we will be required to seek shareholder approval with respect to future issuances of ordinary shares, where required, under the Nasdaq Stock Market rules, such as where we propose to issue ordinary shares that will result in a change in control of Avago or in connection with a transaction involving the issuance of ordinary shares representing 20% or more of our outstanding ordinary shares.

We expect that we will continue to issue ordinary shares and grant options, RSUs and other equity-based awards in the future under circumstances similar to those in the past. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, other than issuances of ordinary shares or agreements that would require the issuance of new ordinary shares in connection with our equity compensation plans and arrangements (including the Plan, as defined in Proposal 7 below, and any equity compensation plans and awards we assume as a result of our pending acquisition of LSI Corporation), we have no specific plans, agreements or commitments to issue any ordinary shares for which approval of this proposal is required. Nevertheless, the Board believes that it is advisable and in the best interests of our shareholders for our shareholders to provide this general authorization in order to avoid the delay and expense of obtaining shareholder approval at a later date, and to provide us with greater flexibility to pursue strategic transactions and acquisitions and raise additional capital through public and private offerings of our ordinary shares, as well as instruments convertible into our ordinary shares.

If this proposal is approved, our directors would be authorized to allot and issue, during the period described above, ordinary shares subject to our Articles of Association, applicable Singapore laws and the Nasdaq Stock Market rules. The issuance of a large number of ordinary shares (or instruments convertible into ordinary shares) could be dilutive to existing shareholders or reduce the trading price of our ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. If this proposal is not approved, we would not be permitted to issue ordinary shares (other than

shares issuable on exercise or settlement of outstanding options, RSUs and other instruments convertible into or exercisable for ordinary shares or the like, which were previously granted when the previous shareholder approved share issue mandates were in force). If we are unable to rely upon equity as a component of compensation, we would have to review our compensation practices, and would likely have to substantially increase cash compensation to retain key personnel.

The Board recommends a vote FOR the resolution to authorize ordinary share allotments and issuances.

PROPOSAL 6:

ORDINARY RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE SHARE PURCHASE MANDATE

Our purchases or acquisitions of our ordinary shares must be made in accordance with, and in the manner prescribed by, the Singapore Companies Act, the Nasdaq Stock Market rules and such other laws and regulations as may from time to time be applicable.

Singapore law requires us to obtain shareholder approval of a “general and unconditional share purchase mandate” if we wish to purchase or otherwise acquire our ordinary shares. We refer to this as the “Share Purchase Mandate” and it allows our directors to exercise their authority to purchase or otherwise acquire our outstanding ordinary shares on the terms of the Share Purchase Mandate.

Our shareholders approved a Share Purchase Mandate at our 2013 AGM; however, this Share Purchase Mandate will expire on the date of our 2014 AGM unless renewed. Accordingly, we are submitting this proposal to seek approval from our shareholders at the 2014 AGM to renew the Share Purchase Mandate. On April 10, 2013, following the conclusion of our 2013 AGM, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to 20 million of our outstanding ordinary shares in the aggregate, pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate approved by shareholders at our 2013 AGM. This share repurchase program does not obligate us to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. During Fiscal Year 2013 we paid $95 million to repurchase 2.6 million of our ordinary shares, all of which were cancelled upon repurchase.

If approved by our shareholders at the 2014 AGM, the authority conferred by the 2014 Share Purchase Mandate will, unless varied or revoked by our shareholders at a general meeting, continue in force from the date of such shareholder approval until the earlier of the date of our 2015 AGM or the date by which the 2015 AGM is required by law to be held (the “Relevant Period”). The 2015 AGM is required to be held no later than 15 months after the date of the 2014 AGM (which period may be extended for up to an additional three months upon application by the Company to, and the approval of, the Singapore Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority).

The authority and limitations placed on our share purchases or acquisitions under the proposed Share Purchase Mandate, if approved at the 2014 AGM, are summarized below:

Limit on Number of Ordinary Shares Allowed to be Purchased

During the period in which the renewed Share Purchase Mandate is effective, we may purchase or acquire that aggregate number of our ordinary shares which is equal to 10% of the total number of issued ordinary shares outstanding as of (a) April 10, 2013 (the date of our last annual general meeting of shareholders) or (b) the date of the passing of this resolution (expected to be April 9, 2014), whichever is greater (unless the share capital of the Company has been reduced in accordance with sections 78C or 78I of the Singapore Companies Act, at any time during the Relevant Period, in which event the total number of ordinary shares of the Company shall be taken to be the total number of issued ordinary shares of the Company as altered by such share capital reduction(s)). There were 246,805,225 of our ordinary shares outstanding as of April 10, 2013 and 249,702,431 of our ordinary shares outstanding as of February 11, 2014, the most recent practicable date.

Duration of Share Purchase Mandate

Purchases or acquisitions of ordinary shares may be made, at any time and from time to time, on and from the date of approval by shareholders of the renewed Share Purchase Mandate up to the earlier of:

•

the date on which our next Annual General Meeting of Shareholders is held or required by law to be held; or

•

the date on which the authority conferred by the Share Purchase Mandate is revoked or varied by our shareholders at a general meeting.

Manner of Purchases or Acquisitions of Ordinary Shares

Purchases or acquisitions of ordinary shares may be made by way of:

•

market purchases on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or any other stock exchange on which our ordinary shares may for the time being be listed and quoted, through one or more duly licensed dealers appointed by us for that purpose; and/or

•

If we decide to purchase or acquire our ordinary shares in accordance with an equal access scheme, our directors may impose any terms and conditions on such purchases as they see fit and as are in our interests, so long as the terms are consistent with the Share Purchase Mandate, the regulations and rules of the Nasdaq Global Select Market (or any other stock exchange on which our ordinary shares may then be listed and quoted), the Singapore Companies Act and other applicable laws. In addition, an equal access scheme must satisfy the following conditions:

•

offers for the purchase or acquisition of ordinary shares must be made to every person who holds ordinary shares to purchase or acquire the same percentage of their ordinary shares;

•

all of those persons must be given a reasonable opportunity to accept the offers made; and

•

the terms of all of the offers must be the same (except differences in consideration that result from offers relating to ordinary shares with (i) different accrued dividend entitlements, (ii) different amounts remaining unpaid and (iii) differences in the offers solely to ensure that each person is left with a whole number of ordinary shares).

Purchase Price

The purchase price (excluding brokerage commission, applicable goods and services tax and other related expenses of the purchase or acquisition) to be paid for an ordinary share will be determined by our directors. The maximum purchase price to be paid for the ordinary shares, as determined by our directors must not exceed:

•

in the case of a market purchase, the highest independent bid or the last independent transaction price, whichever is higher, of our ordinary shares quoted or reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or as the case may be, any other stock exchange on which our ordinary shares for the time being are listed or quoted, at the time the purchase is effected; and

•

in the case of an off-market purchase pursuant to an equal access scheme, 150% of the “Prior Day Close Price” of our ordinary shares, which means the closing price of an ordinary share as quoted on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or, as the case may be, any other stock exchange on which our ordinary shares may, for the time being, be listed and quoted on the day immediately preceding the date on which we announce our intention to make an offer for the purchase or acquisition of our ordinary shares from holders of our ordinary shares, stating therein the purchase price (which shall not be more than the maximum purchase price calculated on the foregoing basis) for each ordinary share and the relevant terms of the equal access scheme for effecting the off-market purchase.

Sources of Funds

Only funds legally available for purchasing or acquiring ordinary shares in accordance with our Articles of Association and applicable laws of Singapore shall be used. In the event that we elect to purchase or acquire any of our ordinary shares, depending on the number of ordinary shares repurchased or acquired and then current market, business and other relevant conditions, we may use our internal sources of funds and/or external borrowings to finance any such purchases or acquisitions. Our directors do not propose to exercise the Share Purchase Mandate in a manner and to such an extent that would materially affect our working capital requirements and those of our subsidiaries.

Under the Singapore Companies Act, any payment made in consideration of the purchase or acquisition of ordinary shares may be made out of our capital or profits. Acquisitions or purchases made out of capital or profits are permissible only so long as Avago is solvent. Pursuant to Section 76F(4) of the Singapore Companies Act, a company is solvent if (a) it is able to pay its debts in full at the time of the payment made in consideration of the purchase or acquisition (or the acquisition of any right with respect to the purchase or acquisition) of ordinary shares and will be able to pay its debts as they fall due in the normal course of business during the 12-month period immediately following the date of such payment; and (b) the value of the company’s assets is not less than the value of its liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and will not, after giving effect to the proposed purchase or acquisition, become less than the value of its liabilities (including contingent liabilities).

Status of Purchased or Acquired Ordinary Shares

The ordinary shares that we purchase or acquire will be deemed cancelled immediately on purchase or acquisition, and all rights and privileges attached to those ordinary shares will expire on cancellation. The total number of issued shares will be reduced by the number of ordinary shares purchased or acquired by us.

We will cancel and destroy certificates, if applicable, in respect of purchased or acquired ordinary shares as soon as reasonably practicable following settlement of any purchase or acquisition of ordinary shares.

Financial Effects

Our net tangible assets will be reduced by the purchase price of any ordinary shares purchased or acquired and cancelled. We do not anticipate that the purchase or acquisition of our ordinary shares in accordance with the 2014 Share Purchase Mandate would have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The financial effects on us arising from purchases or acquisitions of ordinary shares which may be made pursuant to the Share Purchase Mandate will depend on, among other things, whether the ordinary shares are purchased or acquired out of our profits and/or capital, the number of ordinary shares purchased or acquired, and the price paid for the ordinary shares.

Under the Singapore Companies Act, purchases or acquisitions of ordinary shares by us may be made out of our profits and/or our capital. Where the consideration paid by us for the purchase or acquisition of ordinary shares is made out of our profits, such consideration (excluding brokerage, commission, goods and services tax and other related expenses) will correspondingly reduce the amount available for the distribution of cash dividends by us. Where the consideration that we pay for the purchase or acquisition of ordinary shares is made out of our capital, the amount available for the distribution of cash dividends by us will not be reduced.

Rationale for the Share Purchase Mandate

We believe that renewal of the Share Purchase Mandate at the 2014 AGM will benefit our shareholders by providing our directors with appropriate flexibility to cause the repurchase of our ordinary shares if our directors believe that such repurchases would be in the best interests of our shareholders. Our decision to repurchase our ordinary shares from time to time will depend on our continuing assessment of then-current market conditions, our need to use available cash to finance our operations, acquisitions and other strategic transactions, the level of our debt, and the terms and availability of financing.

Take-Over Implications

If, as a result of our purchase or acquisition of our issued ordinary shares, a shareholder’s proportionate interest in our voting capital increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition under The Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers, Appendix 2. If such increase results in a change of effective control, or, as a result of

such increase, a shareholder or a group of shareholders acting in concert obtains or consolidates effective control of our company, such shareholder or group of shareholders acting in concert could become obliged to make a take-over offer for our company under Rule 14 of The Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers.

The circumstances under which shareholders (including directors or a group of shareholders acting together) will incur an obligation to make a take-over offer can be found under Rule 14 and Appendix 2 of the Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers. The effect of Appendix 2 is that, unless exempted, shareholders will incur an obligation to make a take-over offer under Rule 14 if, as a result of us purchasing or acquiring our issued ordinary shares, the voting rights of such shareholders (and parties acting in concert with them) would increase to 30% or more, or if such shareholders (and parties acting in concert with them) hold between 30% and 50% of our voting rights, the voting rights of such shareholders (and parties acting in concert with them) would increase by more than 1% in any period of six months. Shareholders who are in doubt as to their obligations, if any, to make a mandatory take-over offer under The Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers as a result of any share purchase by us should consult the Securities Industry Council of Singapore and/or their professional advisers at the earliest opportunity.

The Board recommends a vote FOR the resolution to approve the Share Purchase Mandate.

PROPOSAL 7:

ORDINARY RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE AVAGO TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED
EXECUTIVE CASH AND EQUITY INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN

On January 22, 2014, the Board, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, adopted the Avago Technologies Limited Executive Cash and Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”) and directed that the Plan be submitted to the Company’s shareholders for approval at the 2014 AGM. Shareholder approval of the Plan will permit cash bonuses and certain equity compensation, starting in Fiscal Year 2014, to be considered “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), and therefore fully deductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes.

Our Board believes that it is in our best interests and those of our shareholders to provide for an incentive plan under which cash-based and equity-based compensation awards made to the executive officers of the Company and its subsidiaries, as applicable, can qualify for deductibility by the Company for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Plan has been structured in a manner such that awards under it may satisfy the requirements for “performance-based” compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code (“Section 162(m)”). In general, under Section 162(m), in order for the Company or its relevant subsidiaries to be able to deduct compensation in excess of $1 million paid in any one year to “covered employees,” which include the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or any of the Company’s three other most highly compensated executive officers (other than the Company’s Chief Financial Officer), such compensation must qualify as “performance-based.” One of the requirements of “performance-based” compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) is that the material terms of the performance goals under which compensation may be paid be disclosed to and approved by the Company’s shareholders. For purposes of Section 162(m), the material terms include (i) the employees eligible to receive compensation, (ii) a description of the business criteria on which the performance goal is based and (iii) the maximum amount of compensation that can be paid to an employee under the performance goal. With respect to the various types of awards under the Plan, each of these aspects is discussed below, and shareholder approval of the Plan will be deemed to constitute approval of each of these aspects of the Plan for purposes of the approval requirements of Section 162(m).

Shareholders are requested to approve the adoption of the Plan so that cash bonuses and certain equity compensation can be structured to be fully tax deductible by the Company. Additional shares are not being requested to be reserved under the Plan as each grant made under the Plan will reduce the number of shares available for grant under the Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Award Plan, referred to as the 2009 Plan; however, the Plan does increase the annual share and cash bonus limit per executive officer to permit the Company to grant larger awards when it is deemed by the Compensation Committee necessary or appropriate to incentivize our executive officers using performance-based awards. If the Plan is not approved by our shareholders, it will not become effective, and the limits existing under the 2009 Plan will continue in effect.

Summary of the Executive Cash and Equity Incentive Award Plan

The Plan provides for the granting of options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, deferred shares, dividend equivalents, performance awards, share payments and other share-based and cash-based awards, or any combination thereof. The material provisions of the Plan are described below, and the description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Plan, as proposed to be adopted at the 2014 AGM and which is attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement.

Purpose of the Executive Cash and Equity Incentive Award Plan

The purpose of the Plan is to motivate and reward the Company’s eligible employees for their service by providing incentive compensation in the form of cash bonuses and equity compensation.

Because of the fact-based nature of the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) and the limited availability of binding guidance thereunder, the Company cannot guarantee that the awards under the Plan to covered employees will qualify for exemption under Section 162(m). However, the Company’s intention and the intention of the Compensation Committee is to administer the Plan in compliance with Section 162(m) with respect to covered employees or participants who may become covered employees. If any provision of the Plan does not comply with the requirements of Section 162(m) with respect to covered employees or participants who may become covered employees, then such provision will be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements. With respect to all other participants, the Plan may be operated without regard to the constraints of Section 162(m).

Participants in the Executive Cash and Equity Incentive Award Plan

Individuals eligible for Plan awards are the Company’s and its subsidiaries executive officers and key employees. If the Plan were in effect as of February 20, 2014, there would be 5 executive officers and approximately 20 key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries eligible to receive cash and equity awards. No non-employee directors or consultants of the Company would be eligible to participate in the Plan.

Administration of the Executive Cash and Equity Incentive Award Plan

The Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee, which will have the authority to interpret the Plan, to establish performance targets and to establish the amounts of awards payable under the Plan.

The Compensation Committee will consist of at least two members of our Board, each of whom is intended to qualify as an “outside director,” within the meaning of Section 162(m) and, to the extent necessary to comply with Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, a “non-employee director” for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, as applicable.

New Plan Benefits

Future awards under the Plan to executive officers and key employees are not determinable in advance because these grants are subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee. The Company has therefore not included a table that reflects such awards.

Share Reserve and Maximum Award Limits.

The ordinary shares underlying awards under the Plan will be issued from our 2009 Plan, as may be amended from time to time.

To the extent that an award granted under the Plan terminates, expires or lapses for any reason, any shares subject to the award at such time will revert back to the 2009 Plan; to the extent shares are tendered or withheld to satisfy the grant, exercise price or tax withholding obligation with respect to any award under the Plan, such tendered or withheld shares will revert back to the 2009 Plan; to the extent any restricted shares are forfeited by the holder, such shares will revert back to the 2009 Plan; and the payment of dividend equivalents in cash in conjunction with any outstanding awards under the Plan will not be counted against the shares available for issuance under the 2009 Plan. In addition, on the date set forth in the applicable award agreement, all unearned awards under the Plan that have not vested and are forfeited will revert back to the 2009 Plan.

The actual amount of future cash bonus payments and future equity awards under the Plan is not presently determinable. However, the Plan provides that no individual may be granted share-based awards under the Plan covering more than 3,000,000 shares or more than $5,000,000 in cash in any calendar year. To the extent required by Section 162(m), shares subject to awards which are canceled will continue to be counted against this limit. Further, the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may reduce or eliminate the amount of a participant’s

cash bonus or equity awards under the Plan to an amount below the amount otherwise payable pursuant to the Plan formula. With respect to Plan awards to participants who are not subject to Section 162(m), the Compensation Committee may use its discretion to increase the amount otherwise payable under the Plan award. The maximum number of ordinary shares that may be granted under the Plan as incentive stock options is 25,000,000.

Performance Goals and Criteria.

The vesting and size of cash and equity awards granted under the Plan to each participant may be based on an individual bonus target for the performance period set by the Compensation Committee in writing and is directly related to the satisfaction of the applicable performance goal(s) set by the Compensation Committee for such performance period. A performance goal is an objective formula or standard utilizing one or more of performance criteria and any objectively verifiable adjustment(s) thereto permitted and pre-established by our Compensation Committee and if such cash and equity awards are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) determined in accordance with Section 162(m). The performance criteria that our Compensation Committee selects for a cash or equity award for purposes of establishing the performance goal(s) for a performance period are limited to the following: (a) net earnings (either before or after one or more of the following: (i) interest, (ii) taxes, (iii) depreciation and (iv) amortization), (b) gross or net sales or revenue, (c) net income (either before or after taxes), (d) operating earnings or profit, (e) cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow and free cash flow), (f) return on assets, (g) return on capital, (h) return on shareholders’ equity, (i) return on sales, (j) gross or net profit or operating margin, (k) costs, (l) funds from operations, (m) expenses, (n) working capital, (o) earnings per share, (p) price per share of our ordinary shares, (q) regulatory body approval for commercialization of a product, (r) implementation or completion of critical projects and (s) market share, any of which may be measured either in absolute terms or as compared to any incremental increase or decrease or as compared to results of a peer group or to market performance indicators or indices. Our Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide that one or more objectively determinable adjustments shall be made to one or more of the performance goals, such adjustments may include one or more of the following: (a) items related to a change in accounting principle; (b) items relating to financing activities; (c) expenses for restructuring or productivity initiatives; (d) other non-operating items; (e) items related to acquisitions; (f) items attributable to the business operations of any entity acquired by the Company during the performance period; (g) items related to the disposal of a business or segment of a business; (h) items related to discontinued operations that do not qualify as a segment of a business under United States generally accepted accounting principles; (i) items attributable to any share dividend, share split, combination or exchange of shares occurring during the performance period; (j) any other items of significant income or expense which are determined to be appropriate adjustments; (k) items relating to unusual or extraordinary corporate transactions, events or developments; (l) items related to amortization of acquired intangible assets; (m) items that are outside the scope of our core, on-going business activities; or (n) items relating to any other unusual or nonrecurring events or changes in applicable laws, accounting principles or business conditions. For all cash and equity awards under the Plan intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m), such determinations shall be made within the time prescribed by, and otherwise in compliance with, Section 162(m). Awards issued to participants who are not subject to the limitations of Section 162(m) may take into account other factors (including subjective factors).

The performance period(s), individual bonus target(s) and performance goal(s) will be adopted by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion with respect to each performance period and, with respect to covered employees, must be adopted no later than the latest time permitted by the Code in order for cash and equity awards granted pursuant to the Plan to be deductible under Section 162(m).

Awards.

The Plan provides that our Compensation Committee may grant or issue options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, dividend equivalents, performance awards, and other share-based and cash-based awards, or any combination thereof. Each award will be set forth in a separate agreement with the

person receiving the award and will indicate the type, terms and conditions of the award, including, without limitation, whether such award is intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m).

Nonqualified Options, or “NQOs”, will provide for the right to purchase our ordinary shares at a specified price which may not be less than fair market value on the date of grant, and usually will become exercisable (at the discretion of our Compensation Committee) in one or more installments after the grant date. NQOs may be granted for any term specified by our Compensation Committee, but may not exceed ten years.

Incentive Stock Options, or “ISOs”, will be designed in a manner intended to comply with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code and will be subject to specified restrictions contained in the Code. Among such restrictions, ISOs must have an exercise price of not less than the fair market value of an ordinary share on the date of grant, may only be granted to employees, and must not be exercisable after a period of ten years measured from the date of grant. To the extent ISOs having an aggregate exercise price in an amount greater than $100,000 become exercisable by an individual in any calendar year, the options in excess of $100,000 will be treated as NQOs. In the case of an ISO granted to an individual who owns (or is deemed to own) at least 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our shares, the Plan provides that the exercise price must be at least 110% of the fair market value of an ordinary share on the date of grant and the ISO must not be exercisable after a period of five years measured from the date of grant.

Restricted Shares may be granted to any eligible individual and made subject to such restrictions as may be determined by our Compensation Committee. Restricted shares, typically, may be forfeited for no consideration if the conditions or restrictions on vesting are not met. In general, restricted shares may not be sold, or otherwise transferred, until restrictions are removed or expire. Purchasers of restricted shares, unlike recipients of options, generally will have voting rights and will have the right to receive dividends, if any, prior to the time when the restrictions lapse.

Restricted Share Units may be awarded to any eligible individual, typically without payment of consideration, but subject to vesting conditions established by our Compensation Committee. Like restricted shares, restricted share units may not be sold, or otherwise transferred or hypothecated, until vesting conditions are removed or expire. Unlike restricted shares, shares underlying restricted share units will not be issued until the restricted share units have vested, and recipients of restricted share units generally will have no voting or dividend rights prior to the time when vesting conditions are satisfied.

Deferred Share Awards represent the right to receive our ordinary shares on a future date. Deferred shares may not be sold or otherwise hypothecated or transferred until issued. Deferred shares will not be issued until the deferred share award has vested, and recipients of deferred shares generally will have no voting or dividend rights prior to the time when the vesting conditions are satisfied and the shares are issued. Deferred share awards generally will be forfeited, and the underlying shares will not be issued, if the applicable vesting conditions and other restrictions are not met.

Share Appreciation Rights, or “SARs”, may be granted in connection with options or other awards, or separately. SARs granted in connection with options or other awards typically will provide for payments to the holder based upon increases in the price of our ordinary shares over a set exercise price. The exercise price of any SAR granted under the Plan must be at least 100% of the fair market value of an ordinary share on the date of grant. SARs under the Plan will be settled in cash or ordinary shares, or in a combination of both, at the election of our Compensation Committee.

Dividend Equivalents represent the value of the dividends, if any, per share paid by the Company, calculated with reference to the number of shares covered by the awards held by the participant. Dividend equivalents may be settled in cash or shares and at such times as determined by the Compensation Committee. Dividend Equivalents with respect to an Award with performance-based vesting shall only be paid out to the holder to the extent that the performance-based vesting conditions are satisfied and the award vests. Dividend Equivalents shall not be paid out on any unvested Restricted Share Units. No Dividend Equivalents shall be payable with respect to options or SARs.

Performance Awards may be granted by the administrator on an individual or group basis. Generally, these awards will be based upon specific performance targets and may be paid in cash or in ordinary shares or in a combination of both. Performance awards may include “phantom” share awards that provide for payments based upon the value of our ordinary shares. Performance awards may also include bonuses that may be granted by the administrator on an individual or group basis and which may be payable in cash or in ordinary shares or in a combination of both.

Share Payments may be authorized by the administrator in the form of ordinary shares or an option or other right to purchase ordinary shares as part of a deferred compensation arrangement or in lieu of all or any part of compensation, including bonuses, that would otherwise be payable in cash to the employee.

Change in Control.

In the event of a change in control where the acquirer does not assume or replace awards granted under the Plan, awards issued under the Plan will be subject to accelerated vesting such that 100% of such award will become vested and exercisable or payable, as applicable. In addition, our Compensation Committee will also have complete discretion to structure one or more awards under the Plan to provide that such awards will become vested and exercisable or payable on an accelerated basis in the event such awards are assumed or replaced with equivalent awards but the individual’s service with the Company or the acquiring entity is subsequently terminated within a designated period following the change in control event. Our Compensation Committee may also make appropriate adjustments to awards under the Plan and is authorized to provide for the acceleration, cash-out, termination, assumption, substitution or conversion of such awards in the event of a change in control or certain other unusual or nonrecurring events or transactions. Under the Plan, a change in control is generally defined as: the transfer or exchange in a single or series of related transactions by our shareholders of more than 50% of our voting shares to a person or group; a change in the composition of our board over a two-year period such that fifty percent or more of the members of the board were elected through one or more contested elections; a merger, consolidation, reorganization or business combination in which the Company is involved, directly or indirectly, other than a merger, consolidation, reorganization or business combination which results in our outstanding voting securities immediately before the transaction continuing to represent a majority of the voting power of the acquiring company’s outstanding voting securities and after which no person or group beneficially owns 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity immediately after the transaction; the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or substantially all of our assets; or shareholder approval of our liquidation or dissolution. No adjustment or action described in this section or in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment or action would cause an award to fail to so qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m), unless our Compensation Committee determines that the award should not so qualify.

Adjustments of Awards.

In the event of any share dividend, share split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, spin-off, recapitalization, distribution of our assets to shareholders (other than normal cash dividends) or any other corporate event affecting the number of our outstanding ordinary shares or the price of our ordinary shares that would require adjustments to the Plan or any awards under the Plan in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the potential benefits intended to be made available thereunder, our Compensation Committee will make appropriate, proportionate adjustments to: the aggregate annual award limits and type of shares subject to the Plan and any other plan terms denominated in shares; the terms and conditions of outstanding awards (including, without limitation, any applicable performance targets or criteria with respect to such awards); and the grant or exercise price per share of any outstanding awards under the Plan.

Amendment and Termination.

Our Board or the Compensation Committee may terminate, amend, or modify the Plan at any time and from time to time. However, the Company must generally obtain shareholder approval to the extent required by

applicable law, rule or regulation (including Section 162(m) and any applicable stock exchange rule). No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan may, without the consent of the holders, impair their rights or obligations under an award unless the award itself otherwise expressly so provides.

The Compensation Committee may not, without first obtaining the approval of the Company’s shareholders (i) reduce the exercise price of any outstanding option or SAR under the Plan, (ii) cancel any outstanding option or SAR under the Plan and replace it with an option or SAR with a lower exercise price, (iii) accept any outstanding option or SAR in exchange for a new option or SAR with a lower exercise price, or (iv) take any other action that is treated as a repricing under United States generally accepted accounting principles.

Expiration Date.

The Plan will expire on, and no cash or equity award may be granted pursuant to the Plan after five (5) years following the date our Board approved the Plan. Any award that is outstanding on the expiration date of the Plan will remain in force according to the terms of the Plan and the applicable award agreement.

Securities Laws and Federal Income Taxes. The Plan is designed to comply with various securities and federal tax laws as follows:

Securities Laws.

The Plan is intended to conform to all provisions of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the SEC thereunder, including without limitation, Rule 16b-3. The Plan will be administered, and awards will be granted and, if applicable, may be exercised, only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.

U.S. Federal Income Taxes.

The following summary is intended only as a general guide to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of participation in the Plan and does not attempt to describe all possible federal or other tax consequences of such participation or tax consequences based on particular circumstances.

Section 409A of the Code. Certain awards under the Plan may be considered “nonqualified deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, which imposes certain additional requirements regarding the payment of deferred compensation. Generally, if at any time during a taxable year a nonqualified deferred compensation plan fails to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, or is not operated in accordance with those requirements, all amounts deferred under the Plan and all other incentive plans for the taxable year and all preceding taxable years, by any participant with respect to whom the failure relates, are includible in gross income for the taxable year to the extent not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture and not previously included in gross income. If a deferred amount is required to be included in income under Section 409A of the Code, the amount also is subject to interest and an additional income tax. The interest imposed is equal to the interest at the underpayment rate plus one percentage point, imposed on the underpayments that would have occurred had the compensation been includible in income for the taxable year when first deferred, or if later, when not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. The additional federal income tax is equal to 20% of the compensation required to be included in gross income. In addition, certain states, including California, have laws similar to Section 409A, which impose additional state penalty taxes on such compensation.

Section 162(m) of the Code. In general, under Section 162(m), income tax deductions of publicly held corporations may be limited to the extent total compensation (including, but not limited to, base salary, annual bonus, and income attributable to option exercises and other non-qualified benefits) for certain executive officers exceeds $1,000,000 (less the amount of any “excess parachute payments” as defined in Section 280G of the Code) in any taxable year of the corporation. However, under Section 162(m), the deduction limit does not apply to certain “performance-based compensation” established by an independent compensation committee that is

adequately disclosed to, and approved by, shareholders. The Company has attempted to structure the Plan such that cash and equity awards may satisfy the “performance-based compensation” exception if the awards are made by a qualifying compensation committee and such rights or awards are granted or vest upon pre-established objective performance goals, the material terms of which are disclosed to and approved by our shareholders. In addition, options and SARs may satisfy the “performance-based compensation” exception if the awards are made by a qualifying compensation committee, the Plan sets the maximum number of shares that can be granted to any person within a specified period and the compensation is based solely on an increase in the share price after the grant date. Specifically, the option exercise price must be equal to or greater than the fair market value of the shares subject to the award on the grant date. The Company has not, however, requested a ruling from the IRS or an opinion of counsel regarding the deductibility of amounts awarded under the Plan under Section 162(m).

Incentive Stock Options. An optionee who is granted an incentive stock option does not recognize taxable income at the time the option is granted or upon its exercise, although the exercise may subject the optionee to the alternative minimum tax. Upon a disposition of the shares more than two years after grant of the option and one year after exercise of the option, any gain or loss is treated as long-term capital gain or loss. If these holding periods are not satisfied, the optionee recognizes ordinary income at the time of disposition equal to the difference between the exercise price and the lower of (i) the fair market value of the shares at the date of the option exercise or (ii) the sale price of the shares. Any gain or loss recognized on such a premature disposition of the shares in excess of the amount treated as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on the holding period.

Nonqualified Options. An optionee does not recognize any taxable income at the time he or she is granted a nonqualified option. Upon exercise, the optionee recognizes taxable income generally measured by the excess of the then fair market value of the shares over the exercise price. Any taxable income recognized in connection with an option exercise by our employee is subject to tax withholding by us. The Company or its relevant subsidiaries is generally entitled to a deduction in the same amount as the ordinary income recognized by the optionee. Upon a disposition of such shares by the optionee, any difference between the sale price and the optionee’s exercise price, to the extent not recognized as taxable income as provided above, is treated as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on the holding period. The Company or its relevant subsidiaries will generally be entitled to a tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by a participant (including covered employees as options are considered to be performance-based compensation).

Restricted Shares. A participant acquiring restricted shares generally will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date our right of repurchase lapses (i.e. the date the award vests). If the participant is an employee, such ordinary income generally is subject to withholding of income and employment taxes. The participant may elect, pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code, to have the date of acquisition of the shares be a date earlier than the date our repurchase rights lapses, provided such election is made no later than 30 days after the participant acquires the shares. Upon the sale of shares acquired pursuant to a restricted share award pursuant to which an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code has been made, any gain or loss, based on the difference between the sale price and the fair market value on the determination date, will be taxed as short term or long term capital gain or loss, depending on the holding period. Any taxable income recognized in connection with the grant of restricted shares by our employee is subject to tax withholding by us. The Company generally should be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant. With respect to covered employees, a tax deduction will be permitted if the award is structured to be granted in compliance with Section 162(m).

Share Appreciation Rights. No taxable income is reportable when a share appreciation right is granted to a participant. Upon exercise, the participant will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the amount of cash received and the fair market value of the shares received, and if granted to an employee, tax withholding is generally due. Any additional gain or loss recognized upon any later disposition of the shares would be capital gain or loss, depending on the holding period. The Company will generally be entitled to a tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by a participant (including covered employees as options are considered to be performance-based compensation).

Restricted Share Units. A participant generally will recognize no income upon the grant of a restricted share unit. Upon the settlement and/or payment of such restricted share units, participants normally will recognize ordinary income in the year of receipt in an amount equal to the cash received and/or the fair market value of any non restricted shares received. Such ordinary income is subject to withholding taxes. Upon the sale of any shares received, any gain or loss, based on the difference between the sale price and the fair market value will be taxed as capital gain or loss, depending on the holding period. The Company or its relevant subsidiaries generally should be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant. With respect to covered employees, a tax deduction will be permitted if the award is structured to be granted in compliance with Section 162(m).

Performance Awards; Dividend Equivalents; Other Awards. A participant generally will not realize taxable income at the time of the grant of the award, and the Company will not be entitled to a deduction at that time. When a award is paid, a participant will recognize ordinary income, and the Company or its relevant subsidiaries will be entitled to a corresponding deduction. Such ordinary income is subject to withholding taxes. With respect to covered employees, a tax deduction will be permitted if the award is structured to be granted in compliance with Section 162(m).

The foregoing is only a summary of the effect of federal income taxation upon award recipients and the Company and its subsidiaries with respect to the payment of cash bonuses, and the grant and, if applicable, exercise or settlement of options, restricted shares, restricted share units, share appreciation rights, and dividend equivalents under the Plan. Reference should be made to the applicable provisions of the Code. In addition, the summary does not purport to be complete, and does not discuss the tax consequences of a participant’s death or the provisions of the income tax laws of any municipality, state or foreign country in which the a participant may reside.

The Board recommends a vote FOR the resolution to approve the Avago Technologies Limited Executive Cash and Equity Incentive Award Plan.

PROPOSAL 8:

ORDINARY RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE SEVERANCE BENEFIT AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND HOCK E. TAN, THE COMPANY’S PRESIDENT AND
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND A DIRECTOR

We are incorporated in the Republic of Singapore. Under the laws of Singapore, our shareholders must approve any new or amended severance arrangements with any director who is also an executive officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Accordingly, we are seeking shareholder approval of a new Severance Benefit Agreement (“Severance Benefit Agreement”) with Mr. Hock E. Tan, our President and Chief Executive Officer and one of our directors. The Severance Benefit Agreement was approved by our Compensation Committee, subject to shareholder approval thereof, in January 2014. If our shareholders do not approve the Severance Benefit Agreement, it will not become effective and the severance and change in control benefits provided to Mr. Tan will continue to be governed by the terms of his existing employment agreement.

The Severance Benefit Agreement provides substantially the same benefits currently provided to Mr. Tan under his existing offer letter agreement except for the following modifications:

•

Acceleration of all outstanding time-vesting equity and equity-linked awards held by Mr. Tan in the event of a termination of employment without cause or for good reason, or in the event of death or disability (each a “qualifying termination”) three months before or 12 months following such a change in control (as defined below). Mr. Tan’s existing employment agreement provides for 12 months accelerated vesting of time-vesting option and RSU awards upon such an event. Mr. Tan’s existing employment agreement and the new Severance Benefit Agreement do not provide for any equity acceleration of time-vesting award in event of a single-trigger change in control and require a qualifying termination of employment in connection with a change in control transaction (double-trigger) to accelerate awards.

•

Achievement of the performance criteria associated with outstanding performance-based equity awards that vest or become exercisable upon the achievement of certain share price targets in the event of a change in control to the extent the effective price per share paid by the acquirer meets or exceeds the price contingency with respect to each award, and similar performance achievement of up to 100% for any performance-based equity awards that measure performance on something other than price per share, with the achievement determined in the sole discretion of the Board based on its determination of performance through the date of the change in control. Any performance-based equity awards for which achievement is deemed satisfied at the change in control become subject to accelerated vesting as time-vesting awards if Mr. Tan incurs a qualifying termination. Mr. Tan’s existing employment agreement does not provide for any specific treatment of performance-based equity awards.

•

Conforms the definition of change in control, which under Mr. Tan’s existing employment agreement currently only captures sales of all or substantially all assets of the Company, to the definition of change in control in our 2009 Plan, which also captures acquisitions of more than 50% of our voting shares by any person or group and other change in control transactions. “Change of control” under the 2009 Plan is generally defined as: the transfer or exchange in a single or series of related transactions by our shareholders of more than 50% of our voting shares to a person or group; a change in the composition of our board over a two-year period such that fifty percent or more of the members of the board were elected through one or more contested elections; a merger, consolidation, reorganization or business combination in which the Company is involved, directly or indirectly, other than a merger, consolidation, reorganization or business combination which results in our outstanding voting securities immediately before the transaction continuing to represent a majority of the voting power of the acquiring company’s outstanding voting securities and after which no person or group beneficially owns 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving entity immediately after the transaction; the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or substantially all of our assets; or shareholder approval of our liquidation or dissolution.

•

Addition of an Internal Revenue Code Section 280G best pay provision which automatically reduces severance payments and benefits under the Severance Benefit Agreement to the extent Mr. Tan is better off, on a net tax basis, not paying a golden parachute excise tax.

No changes are being proposed to the benefits currently provided to Mr. Tan under his existing employment agreement upon a qualifying termination without a change in control.

Mr. Tan must execute and deliver a general release of all claims against the Company and its subsidiaries in order to receive benefits under the Severance Benefit Agreement.

The following table summarizes the benefits that are currently provided to Mr. Tan under his existing employment agreement as compared to those that will be provided to Mr. Tan under the Severance Benefit Agreement:


Benefit	Trigger	Existing Employment Agreement	New Severance Benefit Agreement
Continued Base Salary	Qualifying Termination	12 months	12 months
	Change in Control (without a Qualifying Termination)	None	None
	Change in Control and Qualifying Termination	24 months	24 months
Cash Bonus(1)	Qualifying Termination	100%	100%
	Change in Control (without a Qualifying Termination)	None	None
	Change in Control and Qualifying Termination	200%	200%

Equity Award Acceleration (Time-Vesting)	Qualifying Termination	None	None
	Change in Control (without a Qualifying Termination)	None	None
	Change in Control and Qualifying Termination	12 months vesting of options and RSUs	100% acceleration of all solely time-based vesting equity and equity-linked awards

Equity Award Acceleration (Performance-Based Vesting)	Qualifying Termination	None	None
Equity Award Acceleration (Performance-Based Vesting)	Change in Control (without a Qualifying Termination)	None	No acceleration, however, price contingency met to the extent the effective price per share paid by the acquirer meets or exceeds the price contingency with respect to each share-price performance award, and other performance goals deemed satisfied, in the discretion of the Board, based on performance through the change in control for all other performance-based awards.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Executive Summary

Our Compensation Committee reviews and approves compensation for all our executives.

We have in place a compensation strategy for our executives which focuses on both individual and Company performance. Compensation of our executives is structured around the achievement of near-term corporate targets (fiscal year metrics) and longer-term business objectives and strategies. The Compensation Committee is responsible for evaluating and administering all of our compensation programs and practices to ensure that they properly compensate, reward and drive corporate performance while remaining competitive with comparable semiconductor companies operating in the same or similar markets. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves all compensation policies, including executive base salaries, bonuses and equity incentive compensation.

Our named executive officers (“NEOs”) for Fiscal Year 2013 were Hock E. Tan, President and Chief Executive Officer, Anthony E. Maslowski, Chief Financial Officer, Bryan T. Ingram, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Boon Chye Ooi, Senior Vice President, Global Operations, Patricia H. McCall, Vice President and General Counsel, and Douglas R. Bettinger, who served as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for part of Fiscal Year 2013.

In this Compensation Discussion and Analysis section, we discuss the material elements of our compensation programs and policies, including program objectives and reasons why we pay each element of our executives’ compensation. Following this discussion, you will find a series of tables containing more specific details about the compensation earned by, or awarded to, our NEOs. This discussion focuses principally on compensation and practices relating to the NEOs for our Fiscal Year 2013.

Executive Management Changes in Fiscal Year 2013

•

On March 8, 2013, Anthony E. Maslowski, our Vice President and Corporate Controller was appointed as interim Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Maslowski replaced Douglas R. Bettinger, who stepped down as Chief Financial Officer on March 8, 2013. Mr. Maslowski was appointed as our Chief Financial Officer effective September 4, 2013.

•

Effective April 1, 2013, Bryan T. Ingram, was appointed as our Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Ingram was serving as our Senior Vice President and General Manager, Wireless Semiconductor Division, immediately prior to his appointment.

Alignment of Executive Compensation with Performance—Highlights

Under our CEO’s leadership, we have created long-term, sustained value for our stockholders. Since our initial public offering in August, 2009 up to the end of Fiscal Year 2013, our share price has increased 198%. Our executive compensation program is designed to have a significant portion of our executives’ compensation opportunity delivered in the form of equity-based compensation to tie our executives’ long-term interests to those of our stockholders.

•

During Fiscal Year 2013, our share price increased from $33.03 to $44.72 per share, reflecting strong price appreciation of 35.4% and a total shareholder return (“TSR”) of 40.6% including the impact of our dividends, compared to our peer group average of 29.8%, S&P 500 average of 24.4% and the PHLX Semiconductor Index SOX average of 38.2%.

•

From the beginning of Fiscal Year 2010 to the end of Fiscal Year 2013, our share price increased from $14.87 to $44.72 per share, reflecting strong price appreciation of approximately 200.7% and an annualized TSR of 33.6%, compared to our peer group average of 15.7%, S&P 500 average of 14.1% and the PHLX Semiconductor Index SOX average of 14.3%.

•

The charts below reflect our total shareholder return over a one, three and four year period compared to our peer group, S&P 500 and PHLX indices.

We delivered solid operating performance during Fiscal Year 2013. Our executive compensation programs are designed to reward superior company performance and provide consequences for underperformance.

•

Company Financial Performance. In Fiscal Year 2013:

•

Revenues increased $156 million or 6.6% over Fiscal Year 2012, primarily due to growth in our Wireless target market and the acquisition of CyOptics, Inc. Revenues increased $64 million, or 2.7% over Fiscal Year 2012, without the contribution from CyOptics and Javelin Semiconductor, referred to as the “Acquired Businesses.”

•

Non-GAAP income from operations increased $21 million or 3.0% over Fiscal Year 2012, with non-GAAP earnings per diluted share increasing 4.3% year-over-year. Non-GAAP income from operations for Fiscal Year 2013, without the contribution from the Acquired Businesses, increased by $2 million.

•

The Company’s financial condition continues to be robust; we generated $486 million in free cash flow (cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) during Fiscal Year 2013, and the Company ended Fiscal Year 2013 with $985 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $1.084 billion at the end of Fiscal Year 2012. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was due primarily to the acquisition of CyOptics, Inc. in Fiscal Year 2013 for approximately $400 million in cash.

•

Cash Incentives Reflected Positive 2013 Company Performance. Payouts under our annual cash incentive bonus program are tied to pre-established operational and financial performance goals. Our performance goals for Fiscal Year 2013 were rigorous and designed to be difficult to achieve, and although our overall financial results were strong compared to Fiscal Year 2012, some of the target attainment levels for these goals were not fully achieved. This decreased our annual cash incentive payouts accordingly:

•

We achieved 81% attainment of our corporate revenue goal for Fiscal Year 2013 and 51% attainment of our corporate non-GAAP operating income target. Attainment of performance targets was determined without reference to the financial contributions from the Acquired Businesses, as our performance goals were established prior to these acquisitions.

•

Attainment levels for business unit/function performance targets were mixed, with some targets not being achieved and others being met or exceeded.

•

This resulted in cash incentive payouts ranging between 89% and 122% of target for the NEOs under our annual cash incentive bonus program. The aggregate amount paid to our NEOs under our annual cash incentive bonus program increased to $2.5 million in Fiscal Year 2013 from $0.7 million in Fiscal Year 2012.

•

Modest Increases to Base Salaries and Target Bonus Opportunities. Other than in the case of promotions, the Compensation Committee approved only modest increases to cash compensation levels for our NEOs (the sum of base salary and annual incentive bonus payouts):

•

Base salaries for our NEOs were increased by 5% or less in Fiscal Year 2013, with the exception of Mr. Tan who received a pay increase of 6.7%, after reviewing competitive market data.

Mr. Ingram and Mr. Maslowski received promotional pay increases of 19.1% and 25%, respectively, in connection with the significant changes in their responsibilities.

•

Target annual cash bonus levels for Fiscal Year 2013 were set at the same levels as in Fiscal Year 2012 for Mr. Tan and Mr. Ooi. Ms. McCall’s target percentage increased from 50% to 60% of her base salary to better align her cash compensation with the peer group median. Mr. Ingram’s and Mr. Maslowski’s targets were increased as a result of their promotions from 75% to 100% and from 45% to 75% of their base salaries, respectively.

•

Equity as a Key Component of Compensation:

•

Annual Equity Awards. In Fiscal Year 2013, we introduced a program of annual equity awards for all of our employees, including executives, instead of periodic grants every two to three years, in order to more closely align our equity program with market practices. We also introduced performance-based option awards for our executives, with performance criteria based on sustained increases in the Company’s share price, in order to more closely align our executives’ interests with those of our shareholders. For our NEOs, approximately 53% of the value of their annual Fiscal Year 2013 grant was in the form of performance-based options and 47% of the value of their annual grant was in the form of service-vesting RSUs. With the exception of the special, performance-based retention equity award made to Mr. Tan discussed below, the performance-based option awards are not exercisable until the date on which the average of the closing prices of the Company’s ordinary shares (as reported on the Nasdaq), over a ten consecutive trading day period is equal to or greater than 120% of the exercise price of the option.

•

Merit-Related Awards. Mr. Ingram received a grant of 80,000 performance-based options and 26,667 service-vesting RSUs at the time of the annual equity awards, March 12, 2013, in recognition of his promotion to Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Maslowski received a grant of 90,000 performance-based options and 30,000 service-vesting RSUs on September 11, 2013 as a result of his promotion to Chief Financial Officer.

•

Performance-Based Retention Award to our CEO. In Fiscal Year 2013, we also approved a special, performance-based retention equity award to Mr. Tan, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, consisting of the grant of two performance-based options to acquire an aggregate of 2,500,000 ordinary shares of the Company, each of which vest over a four-period, but which may only be exercised if five increasing share-price targets, each relating to 20% of the shares subject to the applicable option, are met. The first option of the performance-based retention equity award was granted on September 13, 2013, covers 1,750,000 ordinary shares and has an exercise price per share of $38.99. The second option of the performance-based retention equity award was granted on January 2, 2014, covers 750,000 ordinary shares and has an exercise price of $52.65. The share price targets range from $50.00 per share to $75.00 per share. In order to be exercisable, the average of the closing price per share of the Company, as quoted on the Nasdaq, over 30 consecutive trading days must equal or exceed the relevant share price target. Mr. Tan will not realize any value from the Options unless and until the relevant price contingencies are met. Based on the closing share price of $38.99, as quoted on the Nasdaq on September 13, 2013, the date of approval of the award, attainment of the lowest price contingency of $50.00 would represent an increase in the Company’s share price of approximately 28%, and attainment of the highest price contingency of $75.00 would represent an increase in the Company’s share price of approximately 92%. These price targets were intended to be difficult to attain, and the value Mr. Tan will realize from this award will depend on his ability to successfully grow the Company over the next four to seven years and achieve the corresponding significant, sustained increases in the Company’s share price needed to meet the performance requirements of the award. We believe that this strongly incentivizes our President and Chief Executive Officer to act in the interests of shareholders over the long-term by working to increase the price of our shares.

Return of Significant Capital to our Shareholders. Our strong balance sheet in Fiscal Year 2013 enabled us to return an aggregate of approximately $95 million to our shareholders through share repurchases of approximately 1.03% of our ordinary shares outstanding as at November 3, 2013 and an aggregate of $198 million in cash dividends paid to our shareholders during the fiscal year. We have increased our quarterly dividend every quarter since the initiation of our cash dividend in December 2010.

Shareholder Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

At our 2011 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, our shareholders voted, in non-binding advisory votes (i) to approve the compensation of our NEOs and (ii) in favor of having a non-binding shareholder vote on executive compensation once every three years. The Compensation Committee reviewed the result of the shareholders’ advisory vote on executive compensation. In light of the approval by a substantial majority of our shareholders of the compensation programs described in our 2011 proxy statement (representing over 95% of the shares represented in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote), the Compensation Committee did not implement changes to our executive compensation programs as a result of the shareholders’ advisory vote. The compensation for each of the Company’s NEOs for Fiscal Year 2013 reflects the Compensation Committee’s philosophy regarding executive compensation, including that executives’ compensation be linked to Company and individual performance.

Objectives and Philosophy of Our Executive Compensation Program

Our compensation program for executives is designed to achieve the following:

•

attract and retain qualified, experienced and talented executives, in a highly competitive market for executive talent;

•

motivate and reward executives whose skills, knowledge and performance are critical to the on-going success of our Company;

•

align the interests of our executives with those of our shareholders. A significant portion of total compensation paid to our executives is in the form of equity grants that vest over their years of service and may be subject to attainment of pre-established performance-based objectives. We use equity grants as a long term retention strategy that aims to align the interests of our executives with shareholders by tying a significant portion of each executive’s compensation to returns realizable by our shareholders.

Equity grants are a long-term retention tool for key executives intended to reflect the value we place on their contribution to our Company. The Compensation Committee approves all equity grants made to executives. Equity grants to our executives currently consist of options to acquire ordinary shares and/or RSUs. Equity grants are typically awarded in connection with their commencement of employment with us, in connection with a promotion or in connection with the assignment of increased responsibilities or for ongoing retention and incentive purposes. When allocating equity, the Compensation Committee looks at each executive’s level of experience and expertise and overall value to our Company, as well as how much vested and unvested equity an executive holds. In Fiscal Year 2013, we implemented an annual equity award program for our employees, including executives, instead of periodic grants, in order to more closely align our equity program with market practices. We also adopted a policy of granting performance-based options to our executives, with performance criteria based on sustained increases in the Company’s share price, in order to more closely align our executives interests with those our of shareholders.

Our Compensation Committee has adopted a compensation philosophy that is intended to keep total cash compensation (base salary plus cash incentive reward) of our executives competitive with compensation for

similarly situated executives both at other companies within our peer group and with companies included in the market salary surveys it reviews (as discussed below). Generally, where the Committee believes that the positions in the market match our internal roles, we view total cash compensation (including incentive cash compensation) as competitive when it is within approximately the 25^th-75^th percentiles, dependent on the area of responsibility relative to product development, sales, or support functions. The Compensation Committee believes that total cash compensation within this range of the market provides us a competitive position for attracting and retaining executives. However, our Compensation Committee bases its compensation decisions on the needs of the Company and an executive’s level of expertise, experience and marketability and will make exceptions to the above philosophy when it determines it is necessary to attract or retain an executive with the experience and skills desirable for a particular position, to provide additional incentive to an executive to achieve the Company’s goals or to maintain internal parity among executives with similar levels of responsibilities. As a result, target and actual total cash compensation paid to an executive may be outside of these reference points.

Approach for Determining Form and Amount of Compensation

Market Data

When reviewing compensation against market practices, the Compensation Committee uses industry-based market compensation survey data, to which we refer in this Proxy Statement as “market salary surveys”, from the following data sources:

•

Radford Global Technology Survey;

•

Radford Global Sales Survey; and

•

Mercer High Tech Salary Survey (Asia).

The companies the Compensation Committee used in January 2013 as a point of reference for reviewing and setting executive compensation for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2013, to which we refer in this Proxy Statement as our “peer group companies”, and those that participate in the market salary surveys, are:

•

Altera Corporation;

•

Analog Devices, Inc.;

•

Atmel Corporation;

•

Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc.;

•

Freescale Semiconductor, Ltd.;

•

Linear Technology Corporation;

•

LSI Logic Corporation;

•

Marvell Technology Group Ltd.;

•

Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.;

•

Microchip Technology Incorporated;

•

NVIDIA Corporation;

•

ON Semiconductor Corporation;

•

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. and

•

Xilinx, Inc.

In January 2013, our Compensation Committee reviewed our peer group companies for the purposes of identifying the appropriate peer group. The selection criteria for the peer group are companies in the

semiconductor industry, with similar business focus, comparability across annual revenue (generally 0.5 to 2.0 times that of the Company) and market capitalization (generally 0.3 to 3.0 times that of the Company). The peer group used for our market comparisons for 2013 was the same as the peer group used for 2012, except the Committee removed International Rectifier Corporation as it no longer met the revenue and market capitalization criteria used to identify the peer group. In March 2013, our Compensation Committee reviewed market survey data for the revised peer group for the purpose of setting 2013 compensation for our executives. Relative to the above peer group, our revenues for the four quarters proceeding February 2013 ranked at the 52^nd percentile and our market capitalization (as of February 2013) ranked at the 66th percentile. The Compensation Committee also reviewed peer group performance data on a one and three year basis, as set forth in the table below, which shows where we ranked among the 15 companies in our peer group (including us) based on our Fiscal Year 2012 and the most recently ended fiscal year for the 14 other companies in the group


One-Year Performance	2013 Percentile Rank

While the Compensation Committee reviews benchmark compensation data for, and compensation practices at, peer companies to inform its decision-making process, it does not set compensation components to meet specific benchmarks. The Compensation Committee uses peer-group data and market salary surveys as points of reference so that it can set total compensation levels that it believes are reasonably competitive, but also believes that a mechanical benchmarking approach can result in compensation that is unrelated to the value delivered by our executives. In addition, peer group data and market salary surveys do not always contain data for positions and responsibilities exactly comparable to those of our executives, and different survey data can be inconsistent. While compensation levels may differ among executives on competitive factors, and the role, responsibilities and performance of each specific executive, there are not material differences in the compensation philosophies, objectives or policies for our executives, including NEOs.

Individual Executive Compensation Data

In addition to market compensation survey data, the Compensation Committee considers the following information for each executive when determining his or her compensation: (i) the targeted value of base pay, annual cash incentive bonus target, equity grants and other benefits; and (ii) the accumulated value of unvested “in-the-money” outstanding equity grants. This information helps the Compensation Committee to understand the total compensation being delivered to executives and the long-term retentive elements in place for executives.

Internal Pay Equity

We do not maintain a formal policy regarding internal pay parity, but it may be considered as a factor in determining compensation where applicable.

Our President and Chief Executive Officer is compensated at a higher level than other executives because he has a significantly higher level of responsibility, accountability and experience. For Fiscal Year 2013, Mr. Tan’s base salary was set at $800,000. Mr. Tan also receives more of his pay in the form of long-term incentive compensation, rather than annual cash compensation, as compared to the compensation of the other NEOs. Given Mr. Tan’s responsibility for overall Company performance, the Board believes that compensating him at a higher level than other executives and weighting his total compensation more heavily toward long-term, performance-based, incentive compensation is consistent with market practice, appropriately reflects his contributions and aligns his values with shareholders.

We believe the Fiscal Year 2013 target total direct compensation for the NEOs other than Mr. Tan in relation to the compensation targeted for Mr. Tan, and to one another, was reasonable and appropriate given each executive’s responsibilities and Fiscal Year 2012 performance. For Fiscal Year 2013, the differences in pay among our NEOs relative to each other and Mr. Tan are based on internal parity between executives, based on their contributions to the Company, market differences for the particular job, job responsibilities and scope, professional experience and adjustments for individual performance.

Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee retains Compensia as its compensation consultant. As the independent consultant to the Committee, Compensia prepares the assessment of executive compensation based on market data, including data from our peer group companies. Compensia has not provided, and does not provide, any other services to the Company that are not at the direction of the Compensation Committee.

Components of Our Executive Compensation Program

The components of our executive compensation program are:

•

annual base salary;

•

annual (fiscal year) cash incentive program;

•

equity incentive (grants of options, including performance-based options, to purchase ordinary shares, and RSUs);

•

perquisites; and

•

severance and change-in-control benefits.

Annual Cash Compensation

Base Salary

Our Compensation Committee believes that a competitive base salary is a necessary element of any compensation program designed to attract, engage and retain key executives. Base salaries provide fixed, baseline compensation and are set at levels that are intended to reflect internal parity between executives of similar levels of responsibility and to be within a competitive range with similar positions at our peer group companies. The base salaries of all our executives are reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee against positions of similar size and scope in our peer group companies.

Annual adjustments to an executive’s base salary take into account:

(i)

economic and business conditions and outlook;

(ii)

individual performance throughout the prior fiscal year (based on the achievement of divisional goals used in the annual cash incentive bonus plan, fiscal responsibility and senior leadership ability);

(iii)

the actual pay rate of our executives as compared to market pay rates from the market salary surveys; and

(iv)

internal parity, where applicable.

Our Compensation Committee reviews and considers many factors in determining individual performance for the purposes of adjusting base salaries including such measures as unit or division performance against budget, achievement of unit or division sales goals, new product introductions and corporate strategy implementation. The process for considering internal parity where applicable involves comparing executives in peer roles to ensure that base salaries are comparable based on function, scope and responsibilities of the role and

taking into account the executive’s experience, technical knowledge and expertise. The Compensation Committee also believes that a significant portion of an executive’s total compensation should be dependent upon the Company’s performance.

The Compensation Committee conducts the annual salary review process for executives in the middle of the fiscal year, with changes to salaries becoming effective in July. In March 2013, the Compensation Committee undertook a market review of executive compensation, using market survey data for 2012 prepared by Compensia, and approved market-based salary increases resulting in base salaries for the NEOs (commencing July 2013) as follows, other than Mr. Maslowski, who is discussed below, and Mr. Bettinger who left the Company in March 2013:


Name	Base Salary (USD) Effective July 1, 2012		2012 Base Salary As a Percentile of Base Salaries at Comparator Companies(1)	Base Salary (USD) Effective July 1, 2013			2013 Base Salary As a Percentile of Base Salaries at Comparator Companies(1)
Hock E. Tan	$	750,000	40^th Percentile	$	800,000		60^th Percentile
Bryan T. Ingram	$	420,000	60^th Percentile	$	500,000	(2)	65^th Percentile

Patricia H. McCall	$	360,500	45^th Percentile	$	378,535		55^th Percentile

(1)	Based on market survey data for 2012 (the most recent period then available) prepared by Compensia.

(2)	The increase was effective April 1, 2013 in connection with Mr. Ingram’s appointment as Chief Operating Officer of the Company.

(3)

Mr. Ooi’s cash compensation is paid in Singapore Dollars. Mr. Ooi’s base salary was increased from $688,500 to $716,040 in local currency. For the purposes of this table, salary amounts paid to Mr. Ooi in Singapore Dollars were converted back to U.S. Dollars using the Accounting Rate for June 2012 (1.276 Singapore Dollars to the U.S. Dollar) and June 2013 (1.2613 Singapore Dollars to the U.S. Dollar), as applicable. The “Accounting Rate” for any month is the exchange ratio of the number of Singapore Dollars to one U.S. Dollar for the last business day of the preceding fiscal month, as reported by Bloomberg L.P.

Mr. Ooi’s experience and expertise in the US and internationally were major factors considered in his starting base salary. His global senior executive role located in Singapore has a limited number of survey incumbents for comparison, which results in the higher position of his salary compared to the available market data.

Mr. Tan’s base salary was increased by 6.7% and Mr. Ooi and Ms. McCall’s base salaries were increased by 5% or less (in local currency), over their respective prior year’s salary, in each case based on the Compensation Committee’s assessment of the market survey data, and in light of the NEOs’ experience, performance at the Company and total direct compensation being awarded to each executive.

Mr. Ingram’s salary increase reflects the increases in his responsibilities and accountability as a result of the change in his role from Senior Vice President and General Manager, Wireless Semiconductor Division, to Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company effective April 1, 2013. In determining the appropriate base salary for Mr. Ingram in his new role as Chief Operating Officer, the Compensation Committee considered market pay rates for comparable roles in salary surveys and internal parity.

In addition, effective September 4, 2013, Anthony E. Maslowski was confirmed as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. In connection with this appointment, the Compensation Committee set Mr. Maslowski’s annual base salary at $390,000. In determining the appropriate base salary for Mr. Maslowski in his new role as Chief Financial Officer, the Compensation Committee considered market pay rates for comparable roles in salary surveys and internal parity. Mr. Maslowski’s salary as Chief Financial Officer is below the 25th percentile of base salaries at comparable companies, based on the market survey data for 2012. Prior to his appointment as Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Maslowski had served as the Company’s interim Chief Financial Officer, since March 8, 2013, for which he received a lump sum cash payment of $50,000 for assuming increased responsibilities.

Our Chief Executive Officer may recommend increasing the base salary of an executive at any time throughout the course of the year if a change in the scope of the executive’s role and responsibilities warrants an increase. In limited circumstances, our Chief Executive Officer may propose that an executive’s base salary be adjusted in response to a competitive threat or competitive labor market conditions. The Compensation Committee approves any salary adjustments that are made during the fiscal year for executives.

Annual Cash Incentive Program

We maintain a performance-based annual cash incentive bonus plan for all of our executives and one for all other employees. The plans are reviewed and approved on an annual basis by our Compensation Committee. Company goals and business metrics are also reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee. Our performance based annual cash incentive plan for executives is designed to encourage and motivate the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer to achieve corporate level goals and other executives to achieve both corporate level and functional/divisional level goals, thereby positively contributing to the growth and performance of the Company. The structure of the plan for Fiscal Year 2013 was the same as for Fiscal Year 2012. The plan included a target bonus amount expressed as a percentage of base salary for each NEO, which could be achieved by meeting corporate and divisional or functional goals, and could be increased or decreased based on individual performance. The formula used to calculate an executive’s performance-based bonus under the plan is as follows:

Bonus

Amount

Bonus Target

Percentage

(participation

rate)

Annual Bonus

Eligible Earnings

(base salary paid

during the fiscal

year)

Group Performance

Factor

(may range from

50% - 150%)

Individual

Performance Factor

(may range from

50% - 150%)

If an executive’s role changes during the course of the fiscal year, such that the applicable performance metrics are also changed, such executive’s performance-based bonus under the plan is calculated on a pro-rata basis using the relevant metrics for the periods served in each capacity during the fiscal year. This was the case for Mr. Ingram, whose performance metrics and target bonus percentage were changed in connection with his appointment as Chief Operating Officer in April 2013, and for Mr. Maslowski whose performance metrics and target bonus percentage were changed in connection with his appointment as Chief Financial Officer in September 2013, in each case as shown in more detail in the “Summary Bonus Table” below.

All bonuses paid under the plan are paid to the NEOs in cash, with the exception of the Chief Executive Officer in certain circumstances. In the event the Compensation Committee assigns the Chief Executive Officer an Individual Performance Factor (discussed in more detail below) greater than 100%, the Compensation Committee may elect to pay the difference between the dollar amount of the Chief Executive Officer’s actual bonus amount and the dollar amount of the Chief Executive Officer’s bonus calculated using a performance factor of 100% in the form of an equity award under the Avago Technologies Limited 2009 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “2009 Plan”). The type and terms of any such equity award would be determined by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee believes that this feature allows it to further incentivize our Chief Executive Officer to focus on the mid- to long-term performance of the Company and to further provide for value creation for the Company’s shareholders.

Bonus Target as a Percentage of Base Salary

Bonus targets are expressed as a percent of base salary. The Compensation Committee reviews competitive market data from the market salary surveys for our peer group companies as a point of reference in determining each executive’s bonus target. In addition, the Compensation Committee sets bonus targets based on each executive’s experience in his or her role with our Company and the level of responsibility held by each executive, which the Compensation Committee believes directly correlates to his or her ability to influence corporate

results. The NEO’s target rates of participation for Fiscal Year 2013 were the same as in 2012 for Mr. Tan and Mr. Ooi. Ms. McCall’s target percentage increased from 50% to 60% in order to better align her cash compensation with the peer group median. Mr. Ingram’s and Mr. Maslowski’s targets were increased as a result of their promotions from 75% to 100% and from 45% to 75% of their base salaries, respectively. Each NEO’s target bonus amount can be calculated by multiplying his or her target bonus percentage, disclosed in the table entitled “Summary Bonus Table” below, by his or her base salary.

Group Performance

Group performance for each executive, other than our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Operating Officer, consists of corporate performance and division/function performance, with each component equally weighted at 50%. Division/function performance metrics may include, among other things, metrics for direct expenses incurred by the division or function for which an NEO is responsible. Our Chief Executive Officer’s and our Chief Operating Officer’s group performance is measured solely using corporate performance since our Chief Executive Officer has overall responsibility for our Company and our Chief Operating Officer has responsibility for all operational aspects of the Company. A performance goal must be achieved at the minimum level of performance before it is taken into account in calculating an executive’s bonus amount. Achieving the minimum level of performance for a particular goal (other than direct expenses) results in 50% attainment while achieving the maximum level of performance results in 150% attainment for such goal, with performance between these levels resulting in an attainment percentage based on linear interpolation. For direct expense performance targets only, achieving the minimum level of performance will result in 80% attainment while achieving the maximum level of performance will result in 120% attainment for such component, with performance between these levels resulting in attainment percentages based on linear interpolation.

The corporate goals for Fiscal Year 2013 were revenue growth as compared to Fiscal Year 2012 and non-GAAP income from operations. Each goal carried an equal weighting of 50% of corporate performance component. The target for revenue growth for Fiscal Year 2013 was 4.4%, as compared to Fiscal Year 2012, and the target for non-GAAP income from operations from Fiscal Year 2013 was $731 million. The goals were set by the Compensation Committee, with input from management and were designed to be difficult to attain and to require substantial effort by management to achieve.

In determining whether performance goals were met, the calculations of revenue growth and non-GAAP income from operations excluded the effects of the acquisitions of Javelin Semiconductor, Inc. and CyOptics, Inc. by the Company, which were completed in Fiscal Year 2013, but which were not included when the performance targets for the year were set. See the table below showing the revenue growth and non-GAAP income from operations excluding the effects of the acquisitions of Javelin Semiconductor, Inc. and CyOptics, Inc.

(1)	“Adjusted Company Fiscal Year 2013 Results” exclude contribution from Javelin and CyOptics.

Non-GAAP income from operations of $740 million for Fiscal Year 2013 is calculated from our consolidated audited financial statements in our 2013 Form 10-K by adding to our $552 million GAAP income

from operations: $85 million related to the amortization of acquisition-related intangibles ($61 million reported as amortization of intangible assets as part of cost of products sold and $24 million reported in amortization of intangible assets as part of operating expenses), $77 million related to share-based compensation expense ($10 million reported as part of cost of products sold and $67 million reported as part of operating expenses), $3 million related to restructuring charges ($1 million reported as part of cost of products sold and $2 million reported as part of operating expenses), and $23 million in acquisition-related costs ($12 million reported as part of cost of products sold and $11 million reported as part of operating expenses).

In November 2013, the Compensation Committee preliminarily assessed that we achieved Fiscal Year 2013 adjusted revenue growth of 2.7%, which was above the minimum level of performance but below target, resulting in 81% attainment of this goal. The Compensation Committee also preliminarily determined that we achieved adjusted non-GAAP income from operations for Fiscal Year 2013 of $720 million, which was above the minimum level of performance but below target, resulting in 51% attainment of this goal. Final adjusted non-GAAP income from operations was $721 million, instead of $720 million, a result of certain adjustments that were finalized after the Compensation Committee’s preliminary approval of results. In December 2013, the Compensation Committee made its final determination regarding attainment of performance goals and confirmed attainment of performance goals at the levels reviewed in November, exercising its discretion to keep attainment of adjusted non-GAAP operating income at the lower $720 million amount.

The Compensation Committee determines an executive’s division/functional performance percentage based on the achievement of goals by the division/function overseen by the executive. The Compensation Committee sets divisional/functional goals and their weightings annually, based on its assessment of the business requirements of the particular division/function to which the goals relate and the relative importance of the goals to the division/function. Each of the divisional goals, and its respective weighting, for our NEOs is described in the “Summary Bonus Table” below. Each divisional/function goal is set by the Compensation Committee to be difficult to attain and to require substantial effort on behalf of the division and the executive in charge of the division or function to achieve. In December 2013, the Compensation Committee determined that divisional/functional goals had been achieved at the levels set forth in the “Summary Bonus Table” below.

Individual Performance

Individual performance is applied as a multiplier to the bonus amount calculated based on group performance. Individual performance is approved by the Compensation Committee based on recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer for each executive other than the Chief Executive Officer. In determining individual performance, the Compensation Committee considers the requirements of the executive’s position including the achievement of the divisional goals set forth in the Summary Bonus Table below, fiscal responsibility as determined by the Compensation Committee with input from the Chief Executive Officer, the executive’s senior leadership capability, and how each of these factors impacts the overall performance of the executive’s division and/or function. Based on their respective levels of performance and individual contribution, the Compensation Committee assigns each executive an individual performance multiplier, of between 50% and 150%. Executives, who consistently meet or exceed the requirements of the position, as determined by the Compensation Committee, will receive a bonus multiplier of between 100% and 150%. Executives who meet some, but not all, of the requirements of the position or for whom the Compensation Committee believes that improvement is needed will receive a bonus multiplier of between 50% and less than 100%. The Compensation Committee may adjust our executives’ individual performance multiplier upwards or downwards in its sole discretion, based on any criteria it determines appropriate.

For Fiscal Year 2013, the Compensation Committee (with input from our Chief Executive Officer, other than with respect to himself) determined that each of our NEOs should receive an individual performance multiplier of between 110% and 150%, based on attainment of the bonus metrics set forth in the “Summary Bonus Table” below for their respective divisions/functions. Mr. Tan received a performance multiplier of 135% in recognition of the successful consummation of the CyOptics acquisition and the growth in the Company’s

share price during fiscal year 2013. The other NEOs received performance multipliers in excess of 100% as a result of their significant contributions to the Company in their respective divisional or functional capacities, and in particular due to significant overachievement of divisional or functional goals.

Discretionary Bonuses

Each year, our Compensation Committee may supplement the performance-based cash incentive plan awards earned by our NEOs with discretionary bonuses which are awarded based on our Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations, other than with respect to himself, and the Compensation Committee’s assessment of individual contributions. In Fiscal Year 2013, our Compensation Committee awarded a discretionary bonus of $50,000 to Mr. Maslowski, in recognition of his performance, for an extended period, as interim Chief Financial Officer.

Equity Incentive Compensation

Our Compensation Committee believes that long term, sustainable growth and performance are best facilitated through a culture of executive stock ownership that encourages long-term investment and engagement by our executive management. The aim is also to align executive performance and behaviors to create a culture conducive to shareholder investment.

Our Compensation Committee approves all equity awards granted to executive officers. The size of initial and subsequent grants for executives takes into account past equity grants, the executive’s position and level, other compensation and the value the executive brings to the Company based on their technical experience, expertise and leadership capabilities. The Compensation Committee also reviews annually the amount of vested and unvested equity that an executive holds and the fair market value of the unvested equity compared to the executive’s base salary. The philosophy behind equity awards is to provide the executive with a strong incentive to remain with, and build value in, the Company over an extended period of time. Equity awards to executives may be proposed by our Chief Executive Officer from time to time, and any grants are made by the Compensation Committee. Since Fiscal Year 2010, equity awards to executives have typically consisted of a combination of options and RSUs, in order to balance long-term retention of executives, by providing an element of certainty of value from service-based RSUs, with motivating the executives to improve performance and increase the Company’s share price over the long term, through the award options. The Compensation Committee typically issues equity awards with a mix of options and RSUs in a ratio of three option shares to one RSU, in order to emphasize the long-term retention and performance aspect of equity awards, since the recipient only realizes value from an option award if the Company performs well and its share price increases above the strike price of the option. Options awarded to employees after March 2011 have a term of seven years (instead of a historical term of 10 years). Equity awards granted to executives under the 2009 Plan prior to Fiscal Year 2013 generally vest in two equal installments, with options vesting on the third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant and RSUs vesting at approximately the end of the third and fourth years after grant.

Changes in Equity Incentive Compensation Policies

During Fiscal Year 2013, the Compensation Committee, in consultation with and upon advice from, Compensia, made significant changes to our equity incentive compensation policies.

Annual Equity Grants

In November 2012, the Compensation Committee decided, with input from Compensia, to move to an annual equity award program for our employees and executives, starting in Fiscal Year 2013 to reduce overall volatility in executives’ total compensation. Prior to this we did not have a set annual equity award program for our executives. Instead, the Compensation Committee reviewed each executive’s equity position annually, but did not necessarily grant an award to an executive each year. This resulted in periodic spikes in executives’ total compensation that were not necessarily reflective of underlying, ongoing performance. Starting in Fiscal Year 2013, annual equity awards to executives will vest over four years, with 25% vesting on each anniversary of the date of grant.

Share Price Performance-Based Options

In addition, in March 2013, in connection with its annual compensation review, the Compensation Committee, with advice and input from Compensia, determined that starting in Fiscal Year 2013, option grants to our executives, would be 100% performance-based. These performance-based options vest over four years, with 25% vesting on each anniversary of the date of grant, assuming the executive’s continued service with the Company through the vesting dates. However, these options are not exercisable until the date on which the average of the closing prices of the Company’s ordinary shares (as reported on the Nasdaq), over a defined historical trading day equals or exceeds a price threshold higher than the exercise price of the option, set at the time of the grant of the options. As a result, the executive is not able to realize any value from the option award unless there is a significant increase in the Company’s overall share price over a sustained period. This structure provides executives with stronger incentives to improve the Company’s performance and maximize the value of the Company’s shares, which more closely aligns their interests with those of shareholders generally.

2013 Equity Grants

In March 2013, in accordance with its new annual granting policy, the Compensation Committee awarded equity grants to all of the NEOs (except Douglas Bettinger who left the Company on March 8, 2013) as follows:


Name	Performance-Based Options (Number of Shares)		RSUs (Number of Shares)
Hock E. Tan		175,000		58,333
Bryan T. Ingram		80,000		26,667
Anthony E. Maslowski		60,000		20,000
Boon Chye Ooi		30,000		10,000
Patricia H. McCall		18,000		6,000

The performance-based option awards made in Fiscal Year 2013 are not exercisable until the date on which the average of the closing prices of the Company’s ordinary shares (as reported on the Nasdaq), over a ten consecutive trading day period is equal to or greater than 120% of the exercise price of the option. This performance-based condition for the options granted on March 12, 2013 was met on October 3, 2013. In determining the size of the awards, the Compensation Committee considered the fair market value of the unvested equity already held by each executive compared to the executive’s base salary, as well as market data for our peer group companies, and the performance of the Company. The Compensation Committee also took into account Mr. Ingram’s promotion to Chief Operating Officer in determining the size of his award.

Mr. Tan also received an award of 12,500 RSUs in December 2012 for retention purposes and also received a special, long-term compensation and retention equity award in September 2013, as discussed in more detail below.

Mr. Maslowski also received an additional grant of 90,000 performance-based options and 30,000 RSUs in September 2013, connection with his promotion to Chief Financial Officer. Similar to the March 2013 grants, Mr. Maslowski’s option award is not exercisable until the date on which the average of the closing prices of the Company’s ordinary shares (as reported on the Nasdaq), over a ten consecutive trading day period is equal to or greater than 120% of the exercise price of the option.

Performance-Based Retention Award to President and Chief Executive Officer.

Terms of the Award

On September 13, 2013, the Board, following the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved a special, long-term compensation and retention equity award to Mr. Tan consisting of performance-based options to acquire an aggregate of 2,500,000 ordinary shares of the Company. The award was made under the 2009 Plan and consists of (i) an option to acquire 1,750,000 shares with an effective grant date of September 13, 2013 and a strike price of $38.99 per share, which was the closing price per Share, as reported by the Nasdaq on that date (“Option #1”), and (ii) and an option to acquire 750,000 shares with an effective grant date of January 2, 2014, and a strike price of $52.65 per share, which was the closing price per Share, as reported on the Nasdaq on January 2, 2014 (“Option #2” and together with Option #1, the “Options”). The Options vest in four equal installments over a four-year period from their respective dates of grant, assuming Mr. Tan’s continued service to the Company; however, the Options will only become exercisable as to any tranche thereof, if the relevant Price Contingency for each such tranche is or has been achieved. The Options have a term of seven years from their respective dates of grant.

The “Price Contingency” for each tranche of the Options set forth in the table below means the date on which the average of the closing prices per Share, as reported on the Nasdaq, over a 30 consecutive trading-day period (the “30-Day Average Price”) is equal to or greater than the relevant price set forth in the table below:


30-Day Average Price (U.S.$)	Option #1: Number of Option Shares Subject to the Price Contingency	Option #2: Number of Option Shares Subject to the Price Contingency
$50.00	350,000	150,000
$56.75	350,000	150,000
$62.50	350,000	150,000
$68.75	350,000	150,000
$75.00	350,000	150,000

The satisfaction of a particular Price Contingency with respect to the options also satisfies all other Price Contingencies for the option having a lower 30-Day Average Price. If any Price Contingency is not satisfied prior to the expiration, termination or cancellation of an option pursuant to its terms, both the relevant vested tranche as to which such Price Contingency relates and all unvested tranches of such option shall thereupon expire, terminate or be cancelled.

In the event of the closing of a Change in Control (as defined in the 2009 Plan) in which the effective price per share paid by the acquirer meets or exceeds a 30-Day Average Price related to a particular Price Contingency tranche of the options, as set forth in the table above, the Price Contingency relating to each tranche of the Options having a lower 30-Day Average Price shall be deemed met, and the options shall become exercisable as to such tranche, in each case, irrespective of whether such price is maintained for 30 consecutive trading days. Unless the Options are assumed by the acquirer in a Change of Control transaction, the Options become fully

vested immediately prior to the closing of such transaction, but shall remain subject to the requirement that the options only become exercisable as to those tranches of the Options for which the relevant Price Contingencies are or have been achieved. Any tranches of the Options for which the relevant Price Contingencies have not been met as of the closing of such Change in Control transaction in which the Options are not assumed by the acquirer shall terminate upon such closing.

Rationale for, and Structuring of, the Award

In determining whether to make the award, and how to structure the award, the Compensation Committee consulted extensively with, and was advised by, Compensia, the Compensation Committee’s external, independent compensation consultant. The Compensation Committee and the Board reviewed and weighed heavily Mr. Tan’s contributions to the Company to date, and the successful performance of the Company while Mr. Tan has been its President and Chief Executive Officer, and the resulting, substantial increase in the Company’s share price in the four years since its IPO in August 2009. The Board believes it is in the best interests of the Company to ensure Mr. Tan remained as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and that he is incentivized to continue to improve Company performance going forward. The Board also believed that this award was essential to ensuring Mr. Tan remained with the Company. As of September 13, 2013, the effective date of the grant of Option #1, the Company’s share price had increased over 160% from its IPO price. Net revenue increased from $1,484 million in Fiscal Year 2009 to $2,520 million in Fiscal Year 2013. Similarly, net income (loss) has increased from $(44) million, or $(0.20) per share, in Fiscal Year 2009 to $552 million, or $2.19 per share, in Fiscal Year 2013.

In designing the award, in consultation with and upon the advice of Compensia, the Compensation Committee focused on ensuring that the award aligns with and reinforces the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy, while also emphasizing substantial, sustainable shareholder value creation. Therefore, the Board after consultation with and upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, decided to adopt a tiered performance-based award structure, based on the objective, quantifiable metric of the Company’s share price. The tiered, performance-based nature of the award is intended to incentivize Mr. Tan to lead the Company to sustained, superior financial and operational performance, continuing the performance Mr. Tan has accomplished since he joined the Company. The Options will only become exercisable if the Company’s shares trade for sustained periods at increasing prices between $50.00 and $75.00 per share and Mr. Tan will not realize any value from the Options unless and until the relevant Price Contingencies are met. The price targets provided for in the award were intended to be difficult to attain, and the value Mr. Tan will realize from this award will depend on his ability to successfully grow the Company over the next four to seven years and achieve the corresponding significant, sustained increases in the Company’s share price needed to meet the performance requirements of the award. The Board believes strongly that the structure of this award reinforces and more closely aligns Mr. Tan’s interests with those of our shareholders, and strongly incentivizes Mr. Tan to act in the interests of shareholders generally over the long term. The Board also believes that the potential gains Mr. Tan may realize with this award are reasonable based on the aggregate overall increase in the amount of Company shareholder wealth that will need to be achieved for Mr. Tan to actually realize such gains.

Based on the closing share price of $38.99, as quoted on the Nasdaq on September 13, 2013, the date the award was approved, attainment of the lowest Price Contingency of $50.00 would represent an increase in the Company’s share price of approximately 28%, and attainment of the highest Price Contingency of $75.00 would represent an increase in the Company’s share price of approximately 92%. Similarly, attainment of the lowest and highest Price Contingencies would correspond with (i) an increase in the market capitalization of the Company of approximately $2.8 billion and approximately $9.1 billion, respectively, based on an assumed 252 million shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis (as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on September 13, 2013, and which number will change over time), and (ii) value to Mr. Tan of approximately $27.5 million and $90 million, in each case assuming an exercise price per share of $38.99 for the entire award.

Shareholder Outreach

In connection with awarding Mr. Tan this retention equity award, the Compensation Committee, through its Chairman, engaged in outreach to shareholders who, at the time, collectively owned approximately 61% of our then outstanding shares. Of those contacted, shareholders owning approximately 56% of our then outstanding shares took the opportunity to engage in discussion with the Chairman of our Compensation Committee. The reason most often cited by those investors who declined our invitation for extended discussions was that they had no outstanding concerns or questions about the award. The award and its design was viewed positively by those shareholders with whom we had discussions. The most commonly cited reason for this was that the award is strongly performance-based and Mr. Tan benefits from the award only when the Company’s share price exceeds each of the significantly higher price contingent steps provided for in the award. This was viewed as strongly aligning Mr. Tan’s incentives with those of shareholders generally. Our shareholder outreach efforts will continue after the filing of this proxy statement.

Pre-IPO Equity Grants

Options to purchase ordinary shares that were granted to executives prior to our IPO are governed by the Equity Incentive Plan for Executive Employees of Avago Technologies Limited and Subsidiaries (the “Executive Plan”), which is administered by the Compensation Committee. Generally, options granted under the Executive Plan vest in equal annual installments over five years based 50% upon the passage of time and 50% on our financial performance, as measured using non-GAAP operating income, subject in each case to continued employment with Avago (the “Original Performance Options”). The annual operating income target used for Original Performance Options is income (loss) from operations calculated in accordance with GAAP, but adjusted to exclude amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, share-based compensation, restructuring and asset impairment charges, acquired in-process research and development, (gain)/loss on extinguishment of debt, certain third-party management and transaction fees, and (income) loss from and (gain) loss on discontinued operations and other items eligible for exclusion. Generally, the exercise price of options granted under the Executive Plan was equal to the fair market value of our ordinary shares on the date of grant as determined by our Compensation Committee or the Board.

The minimum non-GAAP operating income threshold for Fiscal Year 2013, attainment of which must be achieved for any vesting of Original Performance Options to occur, was $800 million. In December 2013, our Compensation Committee determined that no Original Performance Options would vest based on Fiscal Year 2013 performance, since our non-GAAP income from operations for Fiscal Year 2013, calculated as described above, was $721 million, which did not meet the minimum non-GAAP operating threshold for vesting.

NEO Share Ownership Guidelines

In August 2012, the Committee approved the following share ownership guidelines for NEOs, based on market and peer group data and upon consultation with, and advice from Compensia: (i) the Chief Executive Officer should hold a minimum of 70,000 of our ordinary shares or ordinary shares having a fair market value equal to three times the Chief Executive Officer’s annual base salary, whichever is less, and (ii) each other NEO should hold a minimum of 15,000 of our ordinary shares or ordinary shares having a fair market value equal to one times such NEO’s annual base salary, whichever is less.

NEOs are expected to reach this goal within five years of the date on which the guidelines were adopted or the date on which they become a NEO, whichever is later, and to hold at least such minimum value in ordinary shares for so long as he or she is a NEO. Shares held in a trust or other estate-planning vehicle established by a NEO, which continue to be beneficially owned by such NEO under SEC rules, count toward the NEO achieving the applicable guideline level of share ownership. Outstanding vested option awards held by a NEO count toward achieving the applicable guideline level of share ownership at a rate of 50%, i.e. two vested option shares will count as one ordinary share equivalent. Outstanding unvested equity awards do not count toward achieving the applicable guideline level of share ownership.

The Compensation Committee will evaluate, in its discretion, whether exceptions should be made in the case of any executive who, due to his or her financial circumstances or other special circumstances, would incur a hardship by complying with these share ownership guidelines.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Executives employed by our participating subsidiaries, including our NEOs, may also participate in our Employee Share Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). The ESPP provides eligible employees with the opportunity to acquire ordinary shares of the Company through periodic payroll deductions, at a 15% discounted price, based on a six-month look-back period. The ESPP is structured as a qualified employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The ESPP requires participants to hold shares for a minimum of six months after any purchase date, unless they cease to be eligible to participate in the ESPP in which case the shares become freely tradable, subject to our applicable securities laws and our insider trading policy.

Termination-Based Compensation

Separation compensation is determined by Company policy and any specific arrangements detailed in the executive’s employment agreement. Severance payments are typically comprised of a cash payment in lieu of salary, bonuses and/or coverage of health benefits for a limited period of time and, in some cases, option and RSU vesting acceleration. In addition to employment agreement provisions, the vesting of options granted under the Executive Plan accelerate with respect to 10% of the shares subject to the options if an executive is terminated in connection with the sale of his or her division. Our Compensation Committee must approve any exceptions to severance payments including any additional cash payments and any variance from the Executive Plan regarding the treatment of options. Executives who are terminated from Avago are required to sign a general release of all claims against Avago to receive any severance benefits.

Each of our NEOs is eligible for severance benefits under his or her respective employment agreement or severance benefits agreement with Avago. The Compensation Committee provides termination benefits to our NEOs based on its review of severance practices at our peer group companies and as the result of arms’ length negotiations at the time our executives enter into employment with us, at the time they are requested to take on additional responsibilities or from time to time if deemed necessary or desirable to achieve parity with other NEOs. The level of benefits varies from executive to executive based on the level of responsibility of the executive and accommodations made through arms’ length negotiations.

The table below sets forth the severance benefits payable to each NEO under his or her respective employment agreement, offer letter or severance agreement in effect as of the end of Fiscal Year 2013, upon a termination of employment without cause or for good reason or in the event of death or disability, in each case, apart from a change in control. Each executive must provide a full release of claims in order to be eligible for his or her full severance payment. Mr. Bettinger, our former Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, did not receive any severance or other benefits in connection with his departure from the Company. Mr. Maslowski did not have a severance agreement with the Company as at the end of Fiscal Year 2013.

Vesting of equity held by our NEOs will only accelerate following such a change in control if there is a qualifying termination of employment, as described above, which is commonly referred to as a “double trigger.” Each executive must provide a full release of claims in order to be eligible for his or her full severance payment.

New Severance Benefit Agreements

In January 2014, the Compensation Committee approved new severance benefit agreements for Messrs. Tan, Maslowski, Ingram and Ooi and Ms. McCall. The new severance benefit agreements provide for the same level of continued base salary, bonus and health benefits continuation, in the same circumstances, as were provided for under the executives’ prior severance arrangements, and which are summarized immediately above. Mr. Maslowski’s new severance benefit agreement entitles him to receive the same level of continued base salary, bonus and health benefits continuation as Messrs. Ingram, Ooi and Ms. McCall, and is consistent with the severance benefits provided to our former Chief Financial Officer. The new severance benefit agreements provide for full acceleration of all outstanding time-vesting equity and equity-linked awards in the event of a qualifying termination following a change in control of the Company (or in the case of Mr. Tan, three months before or 12 months following such a change in control). The new severance benefit agreements also provide for full acceleration of all outstanding time-vesting equity and equity-linked awards, and acceleration of outstanding performance-based equity and equity-linked awards (i) to the extent the effective price per share paid by the acquirer meets or exceeds any share price contingency applicable to any share-price performance awards, and (ii) to the extent other performance goals have been deemed satisfied, in the discretion of the Board, based on Company performance through the date of the change in control, for all other types of performance-based awards. The Compensation Committee also conformed the change in control definition in each NEO’s severance benefit agreement to the definition of change of control in our 2009 Plan, which captures acquisitions of more than 50% of our voting shares by any person or group, as well as the sale of all or substantially all of our assets. Mr. Tan’s new severance benefit agreement is subject to shareholder approval at this annual meeting of shareholders, as set forth in more detail in Proposal 8. If our shareholders do not approve the new severance benefit agreement, Mr. Tan’s severance benefits will continue on their current terms, as set forth in his offer

letter (described in more detail starting on page 68) and his new severance benefit agreement will become null and void.

For more detailed descriptions of the benefits provided to our NEOs upon a termination of employment, please see “Executive Compensation—Employment, Severance and Change of Control Agreements with Named Executive Officers” below.

Other Compensation

U.S.-based executives may also participate in the Avago Technologies U.S. Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan. For a description of the Deferred Compensation Plan, see footnote 1 of the 2013 Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Table.

The Compensation Committee approves providing perquisites to our executives on a case-by-case and limited basis. The Compensation Committee will provide a perquisite to an NEO when it is necessary to attract or retain the executive officer. In Fiscal Year 2013, the following executives received perquisites:


Name		Perquisites
Hock E. Tan, President and Chief Executive Officer		Reimbursement for travel to his residence in Pennsylvania.
Boon Chye Ooi, Senior Vice President, Global Operations		Reimbursement of tax preparation service fees and annual home leave travel expenses.

Tax and Accounting Considerations

While the Compensation Committee and our Board generally consider the financial, accounting and tax implications of its executive compensation decisions, neither element has been a material consideration in the compensation awarded to our NEOs historically. In addition, the Compensation Committee and our Board have considered the potential future effects of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code on the compensation paid to our executive officers. Section 162(m) disallows a tax deduction for any publicly held corporation for individual compensation exceeding $1 million in any taxable year for our Chief Executive Officer and each of the other NEOs (other than our Chief Financial Officer), referred to as “covered employees”, unless compensation is performance-based. Our Compensation Committee has not previously taken the deductibility limit imposed by Section 162(m) into consideration in setting compensation. However, the Compensation Committee will continue to evaluate the effects of the Section 162(m) and related U.S. Treasury regulations and the advisability of qualifying its executive compensation for deductibility of such compensation. To maintain flexibility in compensating executive officers in a manner designed to promote varying corporate goals, the Compensation Committee has not adopted a policy that all compensation payable to a covered employee must be deductible under Section 162(m).

Hedging and Pledging Prohibitions

As noted above, a core element of our compensation philosophy is to align the interests of executive officers with those of shareholders by providing appropriate long-term incentives. In furtherance of this philosophy, our insider trading policy prohibits our executives from hedging, pledging or margining Avago securities or trading in derivative securities related to our securities.

Represents estimated potential payouts under our 2013 Annual Performance Bonus Plan for Executives, including the NEOs.

(6)

The share price performance option vests at the rate of 25% of the shares subject thereto on each anniversary of the grant date subject to the executive’s continued employment with Avago. The performance share options are not exercisable until the date on which the average of the closing prices of the Company’s ordinary shares (as reported on the Nasdaq), over a ten consecutive trading day period is equal to or greater than 120% of the exercise price of the options.

The share price performance option vests at the rate of 25% the shares subject thereto on each anniversary of the grant date subject to the executive’s continued employment with Avago. The performance share option will only become exercisable as to any tranche thereof if the relevant Price Contingency for such tranche is or has been achieved. The “Price Contingency” for each tranche of the Option shall mean the date on which the average of the closing prices of the Company’s ordinary shares (as reported on the Nasdaq) over a 30 consecutive trading-day period (the “30-Day Average Price”) is equal to or greater than the following: 350,000 shares become exercisable at a 30-Day Average Price of $50.00 per share, 350,000 shares become exercisable at a 30-Day Average Price of $56.75 per share, 350,000 shares become exercisable at a 30-Day Average Price of $62.50 per share, 350,000 shares become exercisable at a 30-Day Average Price of $68.75 per share and 350,000 shares become exercisable at 30-Day Average Price of $75.00 per share.

Any tranche of the option that do not vest if performance targets for a particular year were not met would, under the terms of the option, have vested two years after the date such tranche of such option could first have vested had the performance targets for such tranche been achieved. The relevant financial targets for Fiscal Year 2013 were not met with regard to this option. On January 21, 2014, the Compensation Committee changed the vesting of this option so that the remaining tranche will vest one year after the date such options could first have vested had the performance targets for such options been achieved. The change was made to recognize Mr. Ooi’s achievements during Fiscal Year 2013, notwithstanding that the performance targets for vesting for Fiscal Year 2013 had not been met.

(12)	Mr. Bettinger left the Company on March 8, 2013. No grants were outstanding for Mr. Bettinger as of November 3, 2013.

Option Exercises and Stock Vested in Fiscal Year 2013

The following table shows information regarding the exercise of options to purchase our ordinary shares and the vesting of stock awards (RSUs) during the fiscal year ended November 3, 2013. Option award value is calculated by subtracting the aggregate exercise price of the options exercised from the aggregate market value of the ordinary shares acquired on the date of exercise. Stock award value realized is calculated by multiplying the number of shares shown in the table by the closing price of our shares, as reported on the Nasdaq, on the date the RSUs vested. Value Realized on Exercise and Value Realized on Vesting represent long-term gain over many years of service by the executive and we do not consider it as part of an executive’s Fiscal Year 2013 compensation.

The Avago Technologies U.S. Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan is a non-qualified Plan under the Internal Revenue Code and is exempt from the reporting and fiduciary requirements of ERISA. The Plan is designed to allow the participants to defer a specified percentage of their base salary, commissions and/or bonuses in a manner similar to the way in which the Avago Technologies U.S. Inc. 401(k) plan operates, but without regard to the maximum deferral limitations imposed on 401(k) plans by the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, the Company may make discretionary contributions to participant accounts. As required by applicable law, participation in the Deferred Compensation Plan is limited to a group of our employees who have an annual base salary plus targeted commissions of at least $175,000, which group includes each of our U.S. based NEOs.

Amounts deferred by each participant pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Plan are held in a “rabbi” trust. The trust protects the assets from the effects of a change in management control or takeover, but not against insolvency for bankruptcy of the company. Amounts invested by each participant under the Deferred Compensation Plan are periodically adjusted for earnings and/or losses at a rate that is equal to one or more of the measurement funds elected by a participant. Currently, the measurement funds consist of the

following: Fidelity Retirement US Treasury Money Market Fund, T. Rowe Price Short Term Bond Fund, PIMCO Total Return Fund Institutional Class, Mainstay ICAP Equity Fund-Class I, Spartan 500 Index- Institutional Class, Fidelity Contra Fund-Class K, Nuveen Winslow Large-Cap Growth Fund Class I, Fidelity Low-Priced Stock Fund-Class K, Wells Fargo Advantage Discovery Fund Class Institutional Class, Goldman Sachs Small Cap Value Fund Institutional, Templeton Foreign Fund Advisor Class, Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund Signal Shares, Fidelity Freedom Index Income Fund Class W, Fidelity Freedom Index 2000 Fund Class W, Fidelity Freedom Index 2005 Fund Class W, Fidelity Freedom Index 2010 Fund-Class W, Fidelity Freedom Index 2015 Fund-Class W, Fidelity Freedom Index Fund 2020-Class W, Fidelity Freedom Index 2025 Fund-Class W, Fidelity Freedom Index 2030 Fund-Class W, Fidelity Freedom Index 2035 Fund-Class W, Fidelity Freedom Index 2040 Fund-Class W, Fidelity Freedom Index 2045 Fund-Class W and Fidelity Freedom Index 2050 Fund-Class W, Fidelity Freedom Index 2055 Fund-Class W.

Distributions are made in accordance with elections filed by participants at the time of their initial deferrals and distributions occur in a lump sum upon death or total disability and in a lump sum or installments upon a participant’s choice of in-service or separation of service. Distributions are also made in the event of a change in control of our Company.

(2)	Amounts reflected are not included in the Fiscal Year 2013 “Summary Compensation Table” because the earnings are not “above-market.” These amounts include dividends, interest and change in market value.

If Ms. McCall’s termination of employment without cause, because of death or disability or a resignation for good reason takes place prior to or more than 12 months following a change in control involving the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, Ms. McCall is entitled to (a) nine months of continued salary payments commencing on the sixtieth day following her separation from us, (b) an amount equal to the lesser of 50% of her prior year’s bonus or target bonus payable in nine monthly installments commencing on the sixtieth day following her separation from us, and (c) the payment of continued health, dental and vision insurance premiums for Ms. McCall and any covered dependents for six months, or, if earlier, until Ms. McCall is covered under similar plans of a new employer.

In January 2014, the Compensation Committee approved a new Severance Benefit Agreement for Ms. McCall that provides for substantially the same severance benefits detailed above, except that the agreement

If Mr. Maslowski’s termination of employment without cause, because of death or disability or a resignation for good reason takes place prior to or more than 12 months following a Change in Control, Mr. Maslowski is entitled to (a) nine months of continued salary payments commencing on the sixtieth day following his separation from us, (b) an amount equal to the lesser of 50% of his prior year’s bonus or target bonus payable in nine monthly installments commencing on the sixtieth day following his separation from us, and (c) the payment of continued health, dental and vision insurance premiums for Mr. Maslowski and any covered dependents for six months, or, if earlier, until Mr. Maslowski is covered under similar plans of a new employer.

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION

We have four equity compensation plans that have been approved by our shareholders: the Executive Plan, the Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan for Senior Management Employees of Avago Technologies Limited and Subsidiaries (the “Senior Management Plan” and together with the Executive Plan, the “Prior Plans”), the 2009 Plan and the ESPP. Upon the conclusion of our IPO, we ceased to make grants under the Prior Plans.

The following table sets forth the number and weighted-average exercise price of ordinary shares to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and rights, and the number of securities remaining available for future issuance under all of our equity compensation plans, at November 3, 2013.

(2)	1,525,311 shares issuable upon vesting of RSUs have been excluded from the calculation of the weighted average exercise price because they have no exercise price associated with them.

(3)

Reflects 8,053,805 shares available for grant under the 2009 Plan, including ordinary shares subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plans that are cancelled, forfeited or lapse unexercised on or after July 27, 2009 (the date the 2009 Plan became effective), which shares become available for future issuance under the 2009 Plan, and 9,202,875shares available for issuance under the ESPP. The 2009 Plan incorporates an evergreen formula pursuant to which the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2009 Plan increases on the first day each fiscal year, starting in Fiscal Year 2013. The amount of such increase is equal to the least of (a) 6 million shares, (b) 3% of the ordinary shares outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (c) such smaller number of shares as determined by our Board. In accordance with this formula, on November 4, 2013 (the first day of our Fiscal Year 2014), the maximum number of shares remaining available for future issuance under the 2009 Plan increased by 6,000,000, which is not reflected in the table. The ESPP also incorporates an evergreen formula pursuant to which the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the ESPP increases on the first day each fiscal year, starting in Fiscal Year 2013. The amount of such increase is equal to the least of (a) 2 million shares, (b) 1% of the ordinary shares outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (c) such smaller number of shares as determined by our Board. The Board determined not to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the ESPP for Fiscal Year 2014.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Related Party Transactions

Other than compensation and other arrangements described above under “Director Compensation,” “Executive Compensation” and as set forth below, since October 29, 2012, there was not, nor is there currently planned, any transaction or series of similar transactions to which we were or will be a party in which:

•

the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000; and

•

any director, nominee, executive officer, holder of more than 5% of our ordinary shares or any member of their immediate family had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

We refer to these types of transactions as “related party transactions.”

Procedures for Approval of Related Party Transactions

As provided by our Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee must review all related party transactions on an ongoing basis and all such transactions must be approved by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee may delegate to one or more designated members of the committee the authority to pre-approve related party transactions, provided such approvals are presented to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. In approving or rejecting the proposed agreement, our Audit Committee considers the relevant facts and circumstances available and deemed relevant to the Audit Committee, including, but not limited to the risks, costs and benefits to us, the terms of the transaction, the availability of other sources for comparable services or products, and, if applicable, the impact on a director’s independence. Our written Code of Ethics and Business Conduct requires that directors, officers and employees make appropriate disclosure of potential conflicts of interest situations to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or the Audit Committee, in the case of directors and officers, and their supervisor, who will then seek authorization from our compliance officer, in the case of employees. The Board has authority to approve related party transactions in lieu of the Audit Committee.

Issuance of Convertible Notes to SLP Fund

In connection with our pending acquisition of LSI Corporation (“Merger”), on December 15, 2013, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to sell to Silver Lake Partners IV, L.P., an investment fund affiliated with Silver Lake (“SLP Fund”) $1 billion aggregate principal amount of its 2.0% Convertible Senior Notes (“Convertible Notes”), with Deutsche Bank AG, Singapore Branch, as Lead Manager. Mr. Hao is a Managing Director of Silver Lake Partners. The proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes will be used to fund a portion of the LSI acquisition consideration.

The completion of the private placement of the Convertible Notes is contingent on satisfaction or waiver of customary conditions, as well as a requirement that that the Merger shall have been consummated or shall be consummated substantially simultaneously with the closing under the Purchase Agreement of the issuance of the Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Notes Closing”), and Avago shall have received, or substantially simultaneously with the closing under the Purchase Agreement shall receive, the proceeds of the Debt Financing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in an amount sufficient to consummate the Merger and related transactions, as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The Convertible Notes will bear interest at a rate of 2.0% per annum payable semiannually in cash. The initial conversion rate for the Convertible Notes is 20.8160 shares of the Company’s ordinary shares, and cash in lieu of fractional ordinary shares, per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $48.04 per ordinary share. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events. Holders may surrender their Convertible Notes for conversion at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date for the Convertible Notes.

The Company and SLP Fund will also enter into a Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which SLP Fund will have certain registration rights with respect to the Convertible Notes and the ordinary shares of the Company issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes.

The issuance of the Convertible Notes by the Company to SLP Fund, and the terms thereof, and entry by the Company into the Note Purchase Agreement, Indenture, Registration Rights Agreement and all other agreements relating to the issuance of the Convertible Notes by the Company to SLP Fund were reviewed and approved by our Board.

Other Relationships

From time to time in the ordinary course of business, on an arm’s length basis, we purchase from, and/or sell to, certain entities where one of the Company’s directors also serves or served as a director of that entity. During Fiscal Year 2013 these entities were eSilicon Corporation and KLA-Tencor Corporation, on whose respective boards John T. Dickson serves, or served, as a director, and Wistron Corporation, of which John M. Hsuan, a former director of the Company, serves as a director. In addition, from time to time the Company has made purchases of equipment and related replacement parts and equipment servicing, in the ordinary course on an arms’ length basis, from Kulicke & Soffa Industries, Inc., of which Bruno Guilmart, a director of the Company, serves as the President and Chief Executive Officer. These purchases have been immaterial in both amount and significance.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Under the securities laws of the United States, our directors, executive officers and any persons holding more than ten percent of our ordinary shares (“Reporting Persons”), are required to report, to the SEC and to the Nasdaq Stock Market, their initial ownership of our ordinary shares and other equity securities and any subsequent changes in that ownership, and to furnish us with copies of all these reports they file. As a matter of practice, an administrative staff member assists our executive officers and directors in preparing initial ownership reports and reporting ownership changes, and typically files these reports on their behalf.

Based solely on our review of the copies of such reports received by us or written representations from certain Reporting Persons that no Forms 3, 4 or 5 were required, we believe that during Fiscal Year 2013, all Reporting Persons complied with all applicable filing requirements.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

Some banks, brokers and other nominee record holders may be participating in the practice of “householding” proxy statements and annual reports. This means that only one copy of our proxy materials and our 2013 Form 10-K may have been sent to multiple shareholders in your household, unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more shareholders in your household. We will promptly deliver a separate copy of either document to you if you request one by writing or calling as follows: c/o Avago Technologies U.S. Inc., Attn: Investor Relations, 350 W. Trimble Road, Building 90, San Jose, California 95131, U.S.A., Telephone: +1 (408) 435-7400. If you want to receive separate copies of our proxy materials or annual reports in the future, or if you are receiving multiple copies and would like to receive only one copy for your household, you should contact your bank, broker or other nominee record holder, or you may contact us at the above address and phone number.

Submitting a shareholder proposal does not guarantee that we will include it in our proxy statement. Our Board will review any shareholder proposals. These shareholder proposals may be included in our proxy statement for the 2015 AGM so long as they are provided to us on a timely basis and satisfy the other conditions set forth in applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. Shareholder proposals are also subject to the requirements of the Singapore Companies Act, as described in the following paragraph. The proxies designated by us will have discretionary authority to vote on any matter properly presented by a shareholder for consideration at the 2015 AGM unless notice of such proposal is received by the applicable deadlines prescribed by the Singapore Companies Act.

In addition, under Section 183 of the Singapore Companies Act, only registered shareholders representing not less than 5% of the total voting rights or registered shareholders representing not fewer than 100 registered shareholders having an average paid up sum of at least $500 Singapore Dollars each may, at their expense, request that we include and give notice of their proposal for the 2015 AGM. Subject to satisfaction of the requirements of Section 183 of the Singapore Companies Act, any such requisition must be signed by all the shareholders making the request and be deposited at our registered office in Singapore, 1 Yishun Avenue 7, Singapore 768923, at least six weeks prior to the date of the 2015 AGM in the case of a request requiring notice of a resolution, or at least one week prior to the date of the 2015 AGM in the case of any other request.

Under our Articles of Association, no person other than a director retiring at a general meeting is eligible for appointment as a director at any general meeting of shareholders, without the recommendation of the Board for election, unless (a) in the case of a member or members who in aggregate hold(s) more than 50% of the total number of our issued and paid-up shares (excluding treasury shares), not less than ten days, or (b) in the case of a member or members who in aggregate hold(s) more than five percent of the total number of our issued and paid-up shares (excluding treasury shares), not less than 120 days, before the date of the notice provided to members in connection with the general meeting, a written notice signed by such member or members (other than the person to be proposed for appointment) who (i) are qualified to attend and vote at the meeting for which such notice is given, and (ii) have held shares representing the prescribed threshold in (a) or (b) above, for a continuous period of at least one year prior to the date on which such notice is given, is lodged at our registered office in Singapore.

SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

(a) The Ordinary Shares underlying an Award will be issued from the Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, as may be amended form time to time (the “2009 Plan”).

(b) To the extent that an Award terminates, expires, or lapses for any reason, or an Award is settled in cash without the delivery of shares to the Holder, then any Ordinary Shares subject to the Award shall revert back to the 2009 Plan. Any Ordinary Shares forfeited under Section 8.4 hereof by the Holder so that such shares are returned to the Company will revert back to the 2009 Plan. Any Ordinary Shares tendered or withheld to satisfy the grant or exercise price or tax withholding obligation pursuant to any Award shall again be available for the grant of an Award pursuant to the 2009 Plan. The payment of Dividend Equivalents in cash in conjunction with any outstanding Awards shall not be counted against the shares available for issuance under the 2009 Plan. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.1, no Ordinary Shares may again be optioned, granted or awarded if such action would cause an Incentive Stock Option to fail to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all unearned Awards that have not vested will revert to the Company and again become available for grant under the 2009 Plan.

ARTICLE 4.

GRANTING OF AWARDS.

4.1 Participation. The Administrator may, from time to time, select from among all Eligible Individuals, those to whom an Award shall be granted and shall determine the nature and amount of each Award, which shall not be inconsistent with the requirements of the Plan. No Eligible Individual shall have any right to be granted an Award pursuant to the Plan.

Award Agreements evidencing Awards intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation shall contain such terms and conditions as may be necessary to meet the applicable provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Plan, and any Award granted or awarded to any individual who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act and any amendments thereto) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

4.5 At-Will Employment. Nothing in the Plan or in any Award Agreement hereunder shall confer upon any Holder any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and any Subsidiary, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge any Holder at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between the Holder and the Company or any Subsidiary.

4.6 Foreign Holders. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in order to comply with the laws in other countries in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate or have Employees, Non-Employee Directors or Consultants, or in order to comply with the requirements of any foreign stock exchange or applicable laws, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to: (a) determine which Subsidiaries shall be covered by the Plan; (b) determine which Eligible Individuals outside the United States are eligible to participate in the Plan; (c) modify the terms and conditions of any Award granted to Eligible Individuals outside the United States to comply with applicable foreign laws or listing requirements of any such foreign stock exchange; (d) establish subplans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent such actions may be necessary or advisable (any such subplans and/or modifications shall be

4.7 Stand-Alone and Tandem Awards. Awards granted pursuant to the Plan may, in the sole discretion of the Administrator, be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with, any other Award granted pursuant to the Plan. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards.

ARTICLE 5.

PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS INTENDED TO QUALIFY AS

PERFORMANCE-BASED COMPENSATION.

5.1 Purpose. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine whether an Award is to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation. If the Committee, in its sole discretion, decides to grant such an Award to an Eligible Individual that is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, then the provisions of this Article 5 shall control over any contrary provision contained in the Plan. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant Awards to other Eligible Individuals that are based on Performance Criteria or Performance Goals but that do not satisfy the requirements of this Article 5 and that are not intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation. Unless otherwise specified by the Administrator at the time of grant, the Performance Criteria with respect to an Award intended to be Performance-Based Compensation payable to a Covered Employee shall be determined on the basis of GAAP.

5.2 Applicability. The grant of an Award to an Eligible Individual for a particular Performance Period shall not require the grant of an Award to such Eligible Individual in any subsequent Performance Period and the grant of an Award to any one Eligible Individual shall not require the grant of an Award to any other Eligible Individual in such period or in any other period.

5.3 Types of Awards. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee may grant any Award to an Eligible Individual intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, including, without limitation, Restricted Shares the restrictions with respect to which lapse upon the attainment of specified Performance Goals, and any performance or incentive Awards that vest or become exercisable or payable upon the attainment of one or more specified Performance Goals.

5.4 Procedures with Respect to Performance-Based Awards. To the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, with respect to any Award granted under the Plan to one or more Eligible Individuals which is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation no later than 90 days following the commencement of any Performance Period or any designated fiscal period or period of service (or such earlier time as may be required under Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall, in writing, (a) designate one or more Holders, (b) select the Performance Criteria applicable to the Performance Period, (c) establish the Performance Goals, and amounts of such Awards, as applicable, which may be earned for such Performance Period based on the Performance Criteria, and (d) specify the relationship between Performance Criteria and the Performance Goals and the amounts of such Awards, as applicable, to be earned by each Covered Employee for such Performance Period. Following the completion of each Performance Period, the Committee shall certify in writing whether and the extent to which the applicable Performance Goals have been achieved for such Performance Period. In determining the amount earned under such Awards, the Committee

A-7

shall have the right to reduce or eliminate (but not to increase) the amount payable at a given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the Committee may deem relevant to the assessment of individual or corporate performance for the Performance Period.

5.5 Payment of Performance-Based Awards. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement and only to the extent otherwise permitted by Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, as to an Award that is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the Holder must be employed by the Company or a Subsidiary throughout the Performance Period. Furthermore, a Holder shall be eligible to receive payment pursuant to such Awards for a Performance Period only if and to the extent the Performance Goals for such period are achieved.

5.6 Additional Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, any Award which is granted to an Eligible Individual and is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code or any regulations or rulings issued thereunder that are requirements for qualification as Performance-Based Compensation, and the Plan and the Award Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements.

ARTICLE 6.

GRANTING OF OPTIONS

6.1 Granting of Options to Eligible Individuals. The Administrator is authorized to grant Options to Eligible Individuals from time to time, in its sole discretion, on such terms and conditions as it may determine which shall not be inconsistent with the Plan.

6.2 Qualification of Incentive Stock Options. No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any person who is not an employee of the Company or any subsidiary corporation of the Company (as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code). No person who qualifies as a Greater Than 10% Shareholder may be granted an Incentive Stock Option unless such Incentive Stock Option conforms to the applicable provisions of Section 422 of the Code. Any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan may be modified by the Administrator, with the consent of the Holder, to disqualify such Option from treatment as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code. To the extent that the aggregate fair market value of shares with respect to which “incentive stock options” (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, but without regard to Section 422(d) of the Code) are exercisable for the first time by a Holder during any calendar year under the Plan, and all other plans of the Company and any Subsidiary or parent corporation thereof, including, without limitation, the 2009 Plan, (as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code) exceeds $100,000, the Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Options to the extent required by Section 422 of the Code. The rule set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied by taking Options and other “incentive stock options” into account in the order in which they were granted and the fair market value of shares shall be determined as of the time the respective options were granted.

6.3 Option Exercise Price. The exercise price per Ordinary Share subject to each Option shall be set by the Administrator, but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of an Ordinary Share on the date the Option is granted (or, as to Incentive Stock Options, on the date the Option is modified, extended or renewed for purposes of Section 424(h) of the Code). In addition, in the case of Incentive Stock Options granted to a Greater Than 10% Shareholder, such price shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of an Ordinary Share on the date the Option is granted (or the date the Option is modified, extended or renewed for purposes of Section 424(h) of the Code).

6.4 Option Term. The term of each Option shall be set by the Administrator in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the term shall not be more than ten (10) years from the date the Option is granted to an employee or five (5) years from the date an Incentive Stock Option is granted to a Greater Than 10% Shareholder. The Administrator shall determine the time period, including the time period following a Termination of Service, during which the Holder has the right to exercise the vested Options, which time period may not extend beyond the term of

A-8

the Option term. Except as limited by the requirements of Section 409A or Section 422 of the Code and regulations and rulings thereunder, the Administrator may extend the term of any outstanding Option, and may extend the time period during which vested Options may be exercised, in connection with any Termination of Service of the Holder, and may amend any other term or condition of such Option relating to such a Termination of Service.

6.5 Option Vesting.

(a) The period during which the right to exercise, in whole or in part, an Option vests in the Holder shall be set by the Administrator and the Administrator may determine that an Option may not be exercised in whole or in part for a specified period after it is granted. Such vesting may be based on service with the Company or any Subsidiary, any of the Performance Criteria, or any other criteria selected by the Administrator. At any time after grant of an Option, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion and subject to whatever terms and conditions it selects, accelerate the period during which an Option vests.

(b) No portion of an Option which is unexercisable at a Holder’s Termination of Service shall thereafter become exercisable, except as may be otherwise provided by the Administrator either in the Award Agreement or by action of the Administrator following the grant of the Option.

ARTICLE 7.

EXERCISE OF OPTIONS.

7.1 Partial Exercise. An exercisable Option may be exercised in whole or in part. However, an Option shall not be exercisable with respect to fractional shares and the Administrator may require that, by the terms of the Option, a partial exercise must be with respect to a minimum number of shares.

7.2 Manner of Exercise. All or a portion of an exercisable Option shall be deemed exercised upon delivery of all of the following to the Secretary of the Company, or such other person or entity designated by the Administrator, or his, her or its office, as applicable:

(a) A written notice complying with the applicable rules established by the Administrator stating that the Option, or a portion thereof, is exercised. The notice shall be signed by the Holder or other person then entitled to exercise the Option or such portion of the Option;

(b) Such representations and documents as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable to effect compliance with all applicable provisions of the Securities Act, any other federal, state or foreign securities laws or regulations and any other applicable laws. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, also take whatever additional actions it deems appropriate to effect such compliance including, without limitation, placing legends on share certificates and issuing stop-transfer notices to agents and registrars;

(c) In the event that the Option shall be exercised pursuant to Section 11.3 by any person or persons other than the Holder, appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option; and

(d) Full payment of the exercise price and applicable withholding taxes to the Secretary of the Company for the shares with respect to which the Option, or portion thereof, is exercised, in a manner permitted by Section 11.1 and 11.2.

7.3 Notification Regarding Disposition. The Holder shall give the Company prompt notice of any disposition of Ordinary Shares acquired by exercise of an Incentive Stock Option which occurs within (
