Safe Harbor Statement: This press release includes statements that qualify as forward-looking statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These include statements about the company's expectation and timing of the closing of the transaction by which Avago will acquire PLX.  Such statements involve risks and uncertainties, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the statements.  Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to: the risk that the PLX/Avago transaction will not close because of a failure to satisfy one or more of the closing conditions (including regulatory approvals); litigation relating to the merger; unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the merger; and adverse legislative, regulatory and economic developments. Please refer to the documents filed by the company with the SEC from time to time, including, but not limited to, the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and PLX's quarterly report on Form 10-Q, which identifies important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.  All forward-looking statements are made as of today, and the company assumes no obligation to update such statements.
