The company said it exchanged all shares of Broadcom limited to the newly issued stock of Broadcom incorporate on a one-for-one basis and that its stock would continue to trade under the same ticker.
Broadcom’s existing co-headquarters in San Jose, California will become its sole headquarters, the company said.

The move to the United States could allow Broadcom to buy US companies without coming under the scrutiny of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), which has the power to stop deals that could harm national security.
Broadcom’s shares were up 0.4 per cent at $237.97 in after-hours trading.
