SAN JOSE, Calif., May 18, 2007

Avago Technologies, a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, today announced further expansion of its manufacturing outsourcing program.  As a result of these latest actions, the Company will reduce its Singapore workforce by approximately 230 employees and expects to record a cash charge of approximately $4 million in its third fiscal quarter, ending July 31, 2007.

“In January 2007, we announced a strategic shift in our business model to increase customer competitiveness in our four core markets by focusing existing resources on higher value-added activities such as new product introduction, research and development, marketing and supply chain management,” said Hock E. Tan, president and CEO of Avago Technologies. “This strategy has increased the flexibility in our cost structure and enabled us to better deal with the cyclical trends that impact our industry.”
