Emulex Advises Stockholders to Take No Action in Response to Revised Broadcom Offer

COSTA MESA, Calif., June 29, 2009 - Emulex Corporation (NYSE: ELX) today said its Board of Directors, consistent with its fiduciary duties and with the assistance of its financial and legal advisors, Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP respectively, will review the terms of the revised tender offer from Broadcom Corporation (Nasdaq: BRCM) to acquire all of the outstanding Emulex shares for $11.00 per share in cash.  Broadcom's previous offer was $9.25 per share in cash.  The Emulex Board will make its recommendation to stockholders on the revised tender offer in due course.  The Company urges stockholders at this time not to tender any shares into the revised offer pending the Board's recommendation.
