CALCULATION OF REGISTRATION FEE

EXPLANATORY NOTE

On July 11, 2018, Broadcom Inc. (“Broadcom” or the “Registrant”), Collie Acquisition Corp. (“Merger Sub”) and CA, Inc. (“CA”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), Merger Sub was merged with and into CA, with CA continuing after the Merger as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, among other things, the Registrant assumed the CA, Inc. 2011 Incentive Plan, as amended and restated as of November 5, 2018 (the “Assumed Plan”) and certain restricted stock unit awards, performance share unit awards and restricted stock awards granted under the Assumed Plan (the “Assumed Awards”). The Assumed Awards are subject to the same terms and conditions that were applicable to them under the Assumed Plan, except that (i) the Assumed Awards relate to shares of common stock of the Registrant, (ii) the number of shares of common stock of the Registrant subject to the Assumed Awards was the result of an adjustment based upon an Equity Award Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and (iii) the performance share unit awards were converted into adjusted restricted stock unit awards, which are no longer subject to any performance based vesting conditions. The aggregate number of shares of common stock of the Registrant to be subject to such Assumed Awards will be 1,268,503. The Registrant is filing this Registration Statement to register such shares under the Securities Act.

In addition to the shares of common stock being registered under the Assumed Plan, the Registrant is hereby registering an additional (i) 6,000,000 shares of common stock under the Avago Technologies Limited 2009 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “Avago 2009 Plan”), which are currently available for issuance under the Avago 2009 Plan due to an automatic annual increase provision in the Avago 2009 Plan, and (ii) 12,195,965 shares of common stock under the Broadcom 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Broadcom 2012 Plan”), which will be available for issuance under the Broadcom 2012 Plan on January 1, 2019 due to an automatic annual increase provision in the Broadcom 2012 Plan.

PART I

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS

The documents containing information specified in Part I will be delivered in accordance with Form S-8 and Rule 428(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Such documents are not required to be, and are not, filed with the SEC, either as part of this Registration Statement or as prospectuses or prospectus supplements pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act. These documents, and the documents incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement pursuant to item 3 of Part II of this Form S-8, taken together, constitute a prospectus that meets the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Exchange Act.

PART II

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

In this Registration Statement, Broadcom Inc. is sometimes referred to as “Registrant,” “we,” “us” or “our.”

Registration of Additional Securities

By a registration statement on Form S-8 filed with the SEC on February 2, 2016, File No. 333-209331 (the “February 2016 Registration Statement”), Broadcom Limited, the Registrant’s predecessor, registered an aggregate of 32,761,012 ordinary shares, no par value, of Broadcom Limited (“Ordinary Shares”) issuable under the Avago 2009 Plan and 79,306,533 Ordinary Shares issuable under the Broadcom 2012 Plan. The February 2016 Registration Statement also registered an aggregate of 641,508 Ordinary Shares issuable under the Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan for Executive Employees of Avago Technologies Limited and Subsidiaries (the “Executive Plan”) and 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”), which shares become available for issuance under the Avago 2009 Plan to the extent awards under the Prior Plans were forfeited or lapsed unexercised and the underlying Ordinary Shares were not issued under the Prior Plans. In addition, by a registration statement on Form S-8 filed with the SEC on December 23, 2016, File No. 333-215291 (the “December 2016 Registration Statement”), Broadcom Limited registered an additional 6,000,000 Ordinary Shares issuable under the Avago 2009 Plan and 12,195,965 Ordinary Shares issuable under the Broadcom 2012 Plan. By a registration statement on Form S-8 filed with the SEC on November 17, 2017, File No. 333-221654 (the “November 2017 Registration Statement”), Broadcom Limited registered an additional 6,000,000 Ordinary Shares issuable under the Avago 2009 Plan and 12,195,965 Ordinary Shares issuable under the Broadcom 2012 Plan. The February 2016 Registration Statement, the December 2016 Registration Statement and the November 2017 Registration Statement, each as amended, are referred to as the “Prior Registration Statements”). In connection with the Registrant’s redomiciliation from the Republic of Singapore to Delaware, the Registrant assumed Broadcom Limited’s obligations in connection with awards granted under Broadcom Limited’s incentive plans and other similar employee awards and amended such plans and awards as necessary to provide for the issuance of shares of the Registrant’s common stock rather than Ordinary Shares. On April 4, 2018, the Registrant filed post-effective amendments to each of the Prior Registration Statements, pursuant to which the Registrant expressly adopted each of the Prior Registration Statements as its own for purposes of the Securities Act and Exchange Act. The Prior Registration Statements are currently effective.

The Registrant is hereby registering an additional (i) 6,000,000 shares of common stock under the Avago 2009 Plan, which are currently available for issuance under the Avago 2009 Plan due to an automatic annual increase provision in the Avago 2009 Plan, and (ii) 12,195,965 shares of common stock under the Broadcom 2012 Plan, which will become available for issuance under the Broadcom 2012 Plan on January 1, 2019 due to an automatic annual increase provision in the Broadcom 2012 Plan.

Pursuant to Instruction E of Form S-8, the contents of the Prior Registration Statements are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement on Form S-8.

The SEC allows us to “incorporate by reference” the information we file with them, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to those documents. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this Registration Statement, and later information filed with the SEC will update and supersede this information. We hereby incorporate by reference into this Registration Statement the following documents previously filed with the SEC (only to the extent “filed” and not “furnished” in accordance with SEC rules):

All documents that the Registrant subsequently files pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all of such securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of the filing of such documents; except as to any portion of any future annual or quarterly report to stockholders or document or current report furnished under current Item 2.02 or 7.01 of Form 8-K or related exhibits furnished pursuant to Item 9.01 of Form 8-K that is deemed to be furnished and not filed under such provisions.

Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

Not applicable.

Not applicable.

Under Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation (or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In the case of an action brought by or in the right of a corporation, the corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any such threatened, pending or completed action by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation (or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) only against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent the appropriate court finds that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court shall deem proper.

The amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Registrant (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) provides that its directors and officers will be indemnified by the Registrant to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law as it now exists or may in the future be amended, against all expenses, liabilities and loss incurred in connection with their service as a director or officer on behalf of the corporation.

As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director of the Registrant shall not be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for such liability as is expressly not subject to limitation under the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended to further limit or eliminate such liability.

The Registrant has also entered into certain indemnification agreements with its directors and officers. The indemnification agreements provide the Registrant’s directors and officers with further indemnification, to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL.

As permitted by Section 145(g) of the DGCL, the Registrant also maintains a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy which insures the directors and officers of the Registrant against liability asserted against such persons in such capacity whether or not such directors or officers have the right to indemnification pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, the amended and restated bylaws of the Registrant or otherwise.

Not Applicable.

See Index to Exhibits herein.

The Registrant hereby undertakes:

(a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) do not apply if this Registration Statement is on Form S-8 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

(b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(d)    the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of more than 35% of the Company Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Company Voting Securities by the Company or its affiliates which reduces the number of Company Voting Securities outstanding; provided, that if after the consummation of such acquisition by the Company such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Company Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a Change in Control of the Company shall then occur.

Qualified Performance Awards under the Plan may be granted either separately, at the same time as other Awards designated as Qualified Performance Award, or at the same time as Awards that are not designated as Qualified Performance Awards; provided, however, that in no event may the payment of an Award that is not a Qualified Performance Award be contingent upon the failure to attain a specific level of performance on the Performance Measure(s) applicable to a Qualified Performance Award for the same Performance Cycle. In the event the Committee designates an Award as a Qualified Performance Award, any determinations of the Committee pertaining to Performance Measures and other terms and conditions of such Qualified Performance Award (other than a determination under Section 4.4(c)(ii), 4.5(c)(ii) or 4.6(b)(iii) to reduce the amount of an Award) shall be in writing and made within the Qualified Performance Award Determination Period.

4.4    Annual Performance Bonuses. The Committee may grant Annual Performance Bonuses under the Plan only to such Employees as the Committee may from time to time select, in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee, in its discretion, may determine.

An Annual Performance Bonus that the Committee designates as a Qualified Performance Award shall be subject to the provisions of paragraphs (a) through (d) below.

(a)    Performance Cycles. Annual Performance Bonuses designated as Qualified Performance Awards shall be awarded in connection with a 12-month Performance Cycle, which shall be the fiscal year of the Company; provided, however, that the Committee may, in its discretion, establish a Performance Cycle of less than 12 months.

(b)    Bonus Participants. Within the Qualified Performance Award Determination Period, the Committee shall determine the Employees who shall be eligible to receive an Annual Performance Bonus designated as a Qualified Performance Award for such Performance Cycle.

Towards this end, such payout formula shall, based on objective criteria, set forth for the applicable Performance Measure(s) the minimum level of performance that must be attained during the Performance Cycle before any such Annual Performance Bonus shall become payable and the percentage (which percentage may not exceed 200%) of the target amount of such Annual Performance Bonus that shall be payable to each such Employee upon attainment of various levels of performance that equal or exceed the minimum required level.

(ii)    Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph (c) to the contrary, the Committee may, on a case by case basis and in its sole discretion, reduce, but not increase, any Annual Performance Bonus designated as a Qualified Performance Award that is payable to any Employee with respect to any given Performance Cycle, provided, however, that no such reduction shall result in an increase in the dollar amount of any such Annual Performance Bonus payable to any Key Employee.

No Annual Performance Bonus designated as a Qualified Performance Award shall be paid to a Key Employee under this Section 4.4 unless and until the Committee certifies in writing the level of attainment of the applicable Performance Measure(s) for the applicable Performance Cycle.

(e)    Other Annual Performance Bonuses. Annual Performance Bonuses that are not Qualified Performance Awards shall be based on a Performance Cycle (which may be less than 12 months) and such Performance Measures and payout formulas (which may be the same as or different than those applicable to Annual Performance Bonuses that are designated as Qualified Performance Awards) as the Committee, in its discretion, may establish for such purposes.

(f)    Form of Payment. Annual Performance Bonuses shall be paid in cash.

(g)    Amount of Bonus. The maximum amount that may be paid as an Annual Performance Bonus to any one Participant during any fiscal year of the Company shall not exceed $10,000,000.

4.5    Long-Term Performance Bonuses. The Committee may grant Long-Term Performance Bonuses under the Plan only to such Employees as the Committee may from time to time select, in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee, in its discretion, may determine. A Long-Term Performance Bonus awarded under the Plan may, at the discretion of the Committee, be designated as a Qualified Performance Award. A Long- Term Performance Bonus that the Committee designates as a Qualified Performance Award shall be subject to the provisions of paragraphs (a) through (d) below.

(a)    Performance Cycles. Long-Term Performance Bonuses designated as Qualified Performance Awards shall be awarded in connection with a Performance Cycle, which shall be at least one fiscal year of the Company. The Committee shall determine the length of a Performance Cycle within the Qualified Performance Award Determination Period. In the event that the Committee determines that a Performance Cycle shall be a period greater than one fiscal year, a new Long-Term Performance Bonus Award may be granted and designated as a Qualified Performance Award and a new Performance Cycle may commence prior to the completion of the Performance Cycle associated with the prior Long-Term Performance Bonus Award.

Towards this end, such payout formula shall, based on objective criteria, set forth for the applicable Performance Measure(s) the minimum level of performance that must be attained during the Performance Cycle before any such Long-Term Performance Bonus shall become payable and the percentage (which percentage may not exceed 200%) of the target amount of such Long-Term Performance Bonus that shall be payable to each such Employee upon attainment of various levels of performance that equal or exceed the minimum required level.

9

(ii)    Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph (c) to the contrary, the Committee may, on a case by case basis and in its sole discretion, reduce, but not increase, any Long-Term Performance Bonus designated as a Qualified Performance Award that is payable to any Employee with respect to any given Performance Cycle, provided, however, that no such reduction shall result in an increase in the dollar amount of any such Long-Term Performance Bonus payable to any Key Employee.

(d)    Payment of Bonuses; Certification. No Long-Term Performance Bonus designated as a Qualified Performance Award shall be paid to a Key Employee under this Section 4.5 unless and until the Committee certifies in writing the level of attainment of the applicable Performance Measure(s) for the applicable Performance Cycle.

(e)    Other Long-Term Performance Bonuses. Long-Term Performance Bonuses that are not Qualified Performance Awards shall be based on such Performance Cycles, Performance Measures and payout formulas (which may be the same as or different than those applicable to Long Term Performance Bonuses that are designated as Qualified Performance Awards) as the Committee, in its discretion, may establish for such purposes.

(f)    Form of Payment. Long-Term Performance Bonuses may be either paid in cash or the value of the Award may be settled in Shares, Shares of Restricted Stock, Stock Options or other Awards or any combination of the foregoing in such proportions as the Committee may, in its discretion, determine. To the extent that a Long-Term Performance Bonus is paid in Shares of Restricted Stock, and/or Stock Options, the number of Shares of Restricted Stock payable and/or the number of Stock Options granted shall be based on the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, subject to such reasonable Restricted Stock discount factors and/or Stock Option valuation methodology as the Committee may, in its discretion, apply. Any Shares of Restricted Stock or Awards granted in connection with a Long-Term Performance Bonus shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.6(e), (f) or 4.8, as applicable. Any Stock Options granted in payment of a Long-Term Performance Bonus shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.7(a), (b), (c), (d), (f) and (g).

(g)    Amount of Bonus. Subject to Section 4.6(f), the maximum amount that may be paid as a Long-Term Performance Bonus in the form of Restricted Stock to any one Participant during any fiscal year of the Company shall not exceed $20,000,000.

4.6    Restricted Stock. The Committee may grant Restricted Stock under the Plan to such Employees as the Committee may from time to time select, in such amounts and subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions as the Committee, in its discretion, may determine. A Restricted Stock Award may, at the discretion of the Committee, be designated as a Qualified Performance Award. A Restricted Stock Award that the Committee designates as a Qualified Performance Award shall be subject to the provisions of paragraphs (a) through (c) below.

(a)    Performance Cycles. A Restricted Stock Award designated as a Qualified Performance Award shall be awarded in connection with a Performance Cycle. Unless the Committee determines that some other period shall apply, the Performance Cycle shall be the fiscal year of the Company. In the event that the Committee determines that a Performance Cycle shall be a period greater than a 12-month period, a new Restricted Stock Award may be granted and designated as a Qualified Performance Award and a new Performance Cycle may commence prior to the completion of the Performance Cycle associated with the prior Restricted Stock Award.

10

(b)    Performance Measures; Targets and Payout Formulas.

(i)    Within the Qualified Performance Award Determination Period, the Committee shall determine the Employees who shall be eligible to receive a Restricted Stock Award designated as a Qualified Performance Award for such Performance Cycle and shall establish, in writing, the Performance Measure(s) that shall apply for such Performance Cycle.

(ii)    For each Restricted Stock Award designated as a Qualified Performance Award, the Committee shall establish, in writing, within the Qualified Performance Award Determination Period (A) a target amount of Restricted Stock that shall be payable to each such Employee and (B) subject to paragraph (f) below, a payout formula for computing the actual amount of Restricted Stock that shall become payable with respect to each level of attained performance. Towards this end, such payout formula shall, based on objective criteria, set forth for the applicable Performance Measure the minimum level of performance that must be attained during the Performance Cycle before any such Restricted Stock shall become payable and the percentage (which percentage may not exceed 200%) of the target amount of Restricted Stock that shall be payable to each such Employee upon attainment of various levels of performance that equal or exceed the minimum required level.

(iii)    The actual amount of Restricted Stock that shall be paid to each such Employee for any given Performance Cycle under a Restricted Stock Award designated as a Qualified Performance Award shall be determined based on such Employee’s target Restricted Stock Award, the actual level of achievement of the Performance Measure(s) and the payout formula determined by the Committee pursuant to this paragraph (b) for such Performance Cycle. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, on a case by case basis and in its sole discretion, reduce, but not increase, the actual amount of any Restricted Stock Award designated as a Qualified Performance Award that is payable to any Employee with respect to any given Performance Cycle, provided, however, that no such reduction shall result in an increase in the amount of such Restricted Stock Award payable to any Key Employee.

(c)    Committee Certification. No Shares of Restricted Stock payable under a Restricted Stock Award designated as a Qualified Performance Award shall be paid to a Key Employee under this Section 4.6 unless and until the Committee certifies in writing the level of attainment of the applicable Performance Measure(s) for the applicable Performance Cycle.

(d)    Other Restricted Stock Awards. Restricted Stock Awards that are not Qualified Performance Awards shall be subject to such provisions as the Committee may, in its discretion, determine, and may be granted at any time; provided, however, that to the extent that the Committee determines that a Restricted Stock Award that is not a Qualified Performance Award shall be performance-based, such Restricted Stock Award shall be awarded in connection with a Performance Cycle, applying such Performance Measures and payout formulas (which may be the same as or different than those applicable to Restricted Stock Awards designated as Qualified Performance Awards) as the Committee, in its discretion, may establish for such purposes.

(e)    Payment of Restricted Stock. As soon as practicable after Restricted Stock has been awarded, a certificate or certificates for all such Shares of Restricted Stock shall be registered in the name of the Participant and, at the discretion of the Company, be either (i) delivered to the Participant or (ii) held for the Participant by the Company. The Participant shall thereupon have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to such Shares, including the right to vote and receive dividends or other distributions made or paid with respect to such Shares, except that such Shares shall be subject to the vesting and forfeiture provisions of paragraph (e)(i) below. The Committee may, in its discretion, impose such restrictions on Restricted Stock as it deems appropriate. Except as the Committee may otherwise

11

determine, and subject to the Committee’s authority under Section 3.2, such Shares shall be subject to the following vesting provisions:

(i)    Vesting and Forfeiture. Shares of Restricted Stock that have not yet vested shall be forfeited by a Participant upon the Participant’s Termination of Employment for any reason other than death or Disability. Shares of Restricted Stock shall vest in approximately equal annual installments over a three — year period after the end of the applicable Performance Cycle (or date of grant, in the case of Awards that are not Qualified Performance Awards).

(ii)    Acceleration of Vesting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Shares of Restricted Stock shall immediately vest upon the death or Disability of the Participant.

(iii)    Legend. In order to enforce any restrictions that the Committee may impose on Restricted Stock, the Committee shall cause a legend or legends setting forth a specific reference to such restrictions to be placed on all certificates for Shares of Restricted Stock. As restrictions are released, a new certificate, without the legend, for the number of Shares with respect to which restrictions have been released shall be issued and delivered to the Participant as soon as possible thereafter.

(f)    Amount of Restricted Stock. The maximum aggregate number of Shares of Restricted Stock that may be issued to any one Participant under Section 4.5 and this Section 4.6 during any fiscal year of the Company shall not exceed 201,000 Shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.3.

4.7    Stock Options. Stock Options granted under the Plan may, at the discretion of the Committee, be in the form of either Nonqualified Stock Options, Incentive Stock Options or a combination of the two, subject to the restrictions set forth in paragraph (e) below. Where both a Nonqualified Stock Option and an Incentive Stock Option are granted to a Participant at the same time, such Awards shall be deemed to have been granted in separate grants, shall be clearly identified, and in no event will the exercise of one such Award affect the right to exercise the other Award. Unless otherwise specified, a Stock Option shall be a Non-Qualified Stock Option. Except as the Committee may otherwise determine, and subject to the Committee’s authority under Section 3.2, Stock Options shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a)    Amount of Shares. The Committee may grant Stock Options to a Participant in such amounts as the Committee may determine, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.1 of the Plan. The number of Shares subject to a Stock Option shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

(b)    Exercise Price. Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be Fair Market Value Stock Options. The Exercise Price of a Stock Option, as determined by the Committee pursuant to this Section 4.7(b), shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

(c)    Option Term. Except as provided in Section 4.7(g), all Stock Options granted under the Plan shall lapse no later than the tenth anniversary of the date of grant.

(d)    Timing of Exercise. Except as may otherwise be provided in the Award Agreement or as the Committee may otherwise determine, and subject to the Committee’s authority under Section 3.2 to accelerate the vesting of an Award and to waive or amend any terms, conditions,

12

limitations or restrictions of an Award, each Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable in whole or in part, subject to the following conditions, limitations and restrictions:

(i)    34% of the Shares subject to a Stock Option shall first become exercisable on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant, 33% shall first become exercisable on the two-year anniversary of the date of grant and the remainder shall first become exercisable on the three-year anniversary of the date of grant;

(ii)    All Stock Options granted to a Participant shall become immediately exercisable upon the death or Disability of the Participant and must be exercised, if at all, within one year after such Participant’s death or Disability, but in no event after the date such Stock Options would otherwise lapse. Stock Options of a deceased Participant may be exercised only by the estate of the Participant or by the person given authority to exercise such Stock Options by the Participant’s will or by operation of law. In the event a Stock Option is exercised by the executor or administrator of a deceased Participant, or by the person or persons to whom the Stock Option has been transferred by the Participant’s will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution, the Company shall be under no obligation to deliver Shares thereunder unless and until the Company is satisfied that the person or persons exercising the Stock Option is or are the duly appointed executor(s) or administrator(s) of the deceased Participant or the person to whom the Stock Option has been transferred by the Participant’s will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution;

(iii)    Upon an Employee’s Retirement, all Stock Options that have not become exercisable as of the date of Retirement shall be forfeited and to the extent that Stock Options have become exercisable as of such date, such Stock Options must be exercised, if at all, within one year after Retirement, but in no event after the date such Stock Options would otherwise lapse; and

(iv)    Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.7(g) or Section 7.5, upon an Employee’s Termination of Employment, or a Consultant’s Termination of Consultancy, for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement, all Stock Options that have not become exercisable as of the date of termination shall be forfeited and to the extent that Stock Options have become exercisable as of such date, such Stock Options must be exercised, if at all, within 90 days after such Termination of Employment or Termination of Consultancy.

(e)    Payment of Exercise Price. The Exercise Price shall be paid in full when the Stock Option is exercised and stock certificates shall be registered and delivered only upon receipt of such payment. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, payment of the Exercise Price may be made in cash or by certified check, bank draft, wire transfer, or postal or express money order or any other form of consideration approved by the Committee. In addition, at the discretion of the Committee, payment of all or a portion of the Exercise Price may be made by

(i)    Delivering a properly executed exercise notice to the Company, or its agent, together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale proceeds with respect to the portion of the Shares to be acquired upon exercise having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the sum of the applicable portion of the Exercise Price being so paid and appropriate tax withholding;

(ii)    Tendering (actually or by attestation) to the Company previously acquired Shares that have been held by the Participant for at least six months having a Fair Market Value on the day prior to the date of exercise equal to the applicable portion of the Exercise Price being so paid; or

(iii)    any combination of the foregoing.

13

(f)    Incentive Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following additional conditions, limitations and restrictions:

(i)    Eligibility. Incentive Stock Options may only be granted to Employees of the Company or a Related Company that is a subsidiary or parent corporation, within the meaning of Code Section 424, of the Company (an “ISO Related Company”). In no event may an Incentive Stock Option be granted to an Employee who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or such Related Company or to a Consultant.

(ii)    Timing of Grant. No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted under the Plan after the 10-year anniversary of the date the Plan is adopted by the Board.

(iii)    Amount of Award. The aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of grant of the Shares with respect to which such Incentive Stock Options first become exercisable during any calendar year under the terms of the Plan for any Participant may not exceed $100,000 (or such other limit as may be specified in the Code). For purposes of this $100,000 limit, the Participant’s Incentive Stock Options under this Plan and all Plan’s maintained by the Company and an ISO Related Company shall be aggregated. To the extent any Incentive Stock Option first becomes exercisable in a calendar year and such limit would be exceeded, such Incentive Stock Option shall thereafter be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option for all purposes.

(iv)    Timing of Exercise. In the event that the Committee exercises its discretion to permit an Incentive Stock Option to be exercised by a Participant more than 90 days after the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company and such exercise occurs more than three months after such Participant has ceased being an Employee (or more than 12 months after the Participant is Disabled or dies), such Incentive Stock Option shall thereafter be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option for all purposes.

(v)    Transfer Restrictions. In no event shall the Committee permit an Incentive Stock Option to be transferred by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and any Incentive Stock Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable, during his or her lifetime, only by the Participant.

(g)    Extension of Stock Option Term for Blackouts. At its discretion, the Committee may extend the term of any Stock Option beyond its earlier termination pursuant to Section 4.7(c), (d)(ii), (iii) or (iv) if the Company had prohibited the participant from exercising the option prior to termination or expiration in order to comply with applicable Federal, state, local or foreign law, provided that such extension may not exceed 30 days from the date such prohibition is lifted.

4.8    Other Equity-Based Awards. The Committee may, from time to time, grant Awards (other than Performance Bonuses, Restricted Stock or Stock Options) under this Section 4.8 that consist of, or are denominated in, payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Shares to any Employee or Consultant. These Awards may include, among other things Shares, restricted stock options, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights (SARs) (which shall lapse no later than the tenth anniversary of the grant date, subject to extension consistent with Section 4.7(g)), phantom or hypothetical Shares and Share units. The Committee shall determine, in its discretion, the terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations, if any, that shall apply to Awards granted pursuant to this Section 4.8, including whether dividend equivalents shall be credited or paid with respect to any Award, which terms, conditions, restrictions and/or limitations shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement; provided, however, that in no event will the exercise price of an SAR with respect to any Share be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share as of the date of grant.

14

Other Equity Based Awards under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be designated as Qualified Performance Awards. In the event the Committee designates an Other Equity-Based Award as a Qualified Performance Award, the Committee shall condition the grant of such Other Equity- Based Award on the attainment during a Performance Cycle of specified levels of performance of one or more Performance Measures. The Performance Cycle, Performance Measure(s) and payout schedules applicable to Other Equity-Based Awards that are designated as Qualified Performance Awards shall be determined by the Committee at such time and in the manner as set out in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 4.6. In such case, no Other Equity-Based Award designated as a Qualified Performance Award shall be paid to a Key Employee under this Section 4.8 unless and until the Committee certifies in writing the level of attainment of the applicable Performance Measure(s) for the applicable Performance Cycle.

4.9    Code Section 162(m). It is the intent of the Company that Qualified Performance Awards granted to Key Employees under the Plan satisfy the applicable requirements of Code Section 162(m) and the regulations thereunder so that the Company’s tax deduction for Qualified Performance Awards is not disallowed in whole or in part by operation of Code Section 162(m). If any provision of this Plan pertaining to Qualified Performance Awards, or any Award to a Key Employee under the Plan that the Committee designates as a Qualified Performance Award, would otherwise frustrate or conflict with such intent, that provision or Award shall be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid such conflict.

4.10    No Repricing. Repricing of Options or SARs shall not be permitted without stockholder approval. For this purpose, a “repricing” means any of the following (or any other action that has the same effect as any of the following): (A) changing the terms of an Option or SAR to lower its Exercise Price (other than pursuant to Section 5.3); (B) any other action that is treated as a “repricing” under generally accepted accounting principles; and (C) repurchasing for cash or canceling an Option or SAR at a time when its Exercise Price is greater than the Fair Market Value of the underlying stock in exchange for another Award, unless the cancellation and exchange occurs in connection with an event set forth in Section 5.3. Such cancellation and exchange would be considered a “repricing” regardless of whether it is treated as a “repricing” under generally accepted accounting principles and regardless of whether it is voluntary on the part of the Participant.

4.11    Change in Control. Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, (a) except as otherwise determined by the Committee, if the Committee determines that, in connection with a Change in Control, (x) the Common Stock of the Company (or of any direct or indirect parent entity) will not be publicly traded or (y) any Award will not be honored or assumed, or new rights that substantially preserve the terms of such Award substituted therefor, any outstanding Award then held by a Participant which is unexercisable or otherwise unvested or subject to lapse restrictions will automatically be deemed exercisable or otherwise vested or no longer subject to lapse restrictions, as the case may be, as of the date of such Change in Control or (b) if the Committee determines that, in connection with a Change in Control, (x) the Common Stock of the Company or of any direct or indirect parent entity will be publicly traded and (y) any Award will be honored or assumed, or new rights that substantially preserve the terms of such Award substituted therefore, if a Participant’s employment is terminated without Cause, or, solely for Participants who have an employment agreement with the Company which defines “Good Reason” or who participate in the CIC Severance Policy immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, for Good Reason, within a 2-year period following such Change in Control, any outstanding Award then held by such Participant which is unexercisable or otherwise unvested or subject to lapse restrictions will automatically be deemed exercisable or otherwise vested or no longer subject to lapse restrictions, as the case may be, as of the date such Participant’s employment is terminated. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 4.11 shall not apply to (i) any Award that is an Annual Performance Bonus, whenever granted and (ii) any other Award granted on or after the Merger Agreement Signing Date.

5.1    Shares Available. The Shares issuable under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued Shares or Shares held in the Company’s treasury. Subject to adjustments in accordance with Section 5.3, the total number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be issued during the term of the Plan may equal but shall not exceed in the aggregate 9,064,975 Shares, which includes 3,034,975 shares available for grant under the 2007 Plan, as of June 6, 2011. Of the shares available under the Plan no more than 2,010,000 Shares may be granted in the form of Incentive Stock Options and the maximum aggregate number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted to any one Participant during any such fiscal year of the Company may not exceed 603,000 Shares. Any Shares (a) delivered by the Company, (b) with respect to which Awards are made hereunder and (c) with respect to which the Company becomes obligated to make Awards, in each case through the assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by an acquired entity, shall not count against the Shares available to be delivered pursuant to Awards under this Plan.

5.2    Counting Rules. For purposes of determining the number of Shares remaining available under the Plan, only Awards payable in Shares shall be counted. Any Shares related to Awards under the Plan, which terminate by expiration, forfeiture, cancellation or otherwise without issuance of Shares, or are settled in cash in lieu of Shares, shall be available again for issuance under the Plan. In the event Shares are tendered or withheld in payment of all or part of the Exercise Price of a Stock Option, or in satisfaction of the withholding obligations of any Award, the Shares so tendered or withheld shall become available for issuance under the Plan. To the extent that any option or other award outstanding pursuant to the 2007 Plan as of the Effective Date which for any reason, on or after the Effective Date, expires, is terminated, forfeited or cancelled without having been exercised or settled in full, Shares subject to such awards shall deem to have not been delivered and shall be added to the share maximum; provided, however, that the aggregate number of Shares outstanding under the 2007 Plan that may be added to the share maximum pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall not exceed 2,167,997 shares, the number of shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2007 Plan as of June 6, 2011 (as such number may be adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 5.3). With respect to stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), when a SAR is exercised and settled in whole or in part in Shares, the Shares subject to a SAR grant agreement shall be counted against the Shares available for issuance as one (1) Share for every Share subject thereto, regardless of the number of Shares used to settle the SAR upon exercise.

5.3    Adjustments. In the event of any change in the number of issued Shares (or issuance of shares of stock other than shares of Common Stock) by reason of any stock split, reverse stock split, or stock dividend, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, reorganization, combination, or exchange of Shares, , the issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities, or any other change in corporate structure or in the event of any extraordinary distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities or other property), the Committee shall adjust the number or kind of Shares that may be issued under the Plan, and the terms of any outstanding Award (including, without limitation, the number of Shares subject to an outstanding Award, the type of property to which the Award relates and the Exercise Price of a Stock Option, stock appreciation right or other Award) in such manner as the Committee shall determine is appropriate in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, and such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made with respect to Qualified Performance Awards granted to a Key Employee to the extent such adjustment would cause the Award to fail to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code and no adjustment shall be required if the Committee determines that such action could cause an Award to fail to satisfy the conditions of an applicable exception from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) or otherwise could subject a Participant to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A in respect of an outstanding Award.

16

5.4    Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets. Upon the occurrence of (i) a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, reorganization or otherwise involving the Company in which the Company is not to be the surviving corporation, (ii) a merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, reorganization or otherwise involving the Company in which the Company is the surviving corporation but holders of Shares receive securities of another corporation, or (iii) a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (as an entirety) or capital stock to another person, any Award granted hereunder shall be deemed to apply to the securities, cash or other property (subject to adjustment by cash payment in lieu of fractional interests) to which a holder of the number of Shares equal to the number of Shares the Participant would have been entitled, and proper provisions shall be made to ensure that this clause is a condition to any such transaction; provided, however, that the Committee (or, if applicable, the board of directors of the entity assuming the Company’s obligations under the Plan) shall, in its discretion, have the power to either:

(a)    provide, upon written notice to Participants, that all Awards that are currently exercisable must be exercised within the time period specified in the notice and that all Awards not exercised as of the expiration of such period shall be terminated without consideration; provided, however, that the Committee (or successor board of directors) may provide, in its discretion, that, for purposes of this subsection, all outstanding Awards are currently exercisable, whether or not vested; or

(b)    cancel any or all Awards and, in consideration of such cancellation, pay to each Participant an amount in cash with respect to each Share issuable under an Award equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value of such Share on such date (or, if greater, the value per Share of the consideration received by holders of Shares as a result of such merger, consolidation, reorganization or sale) and the Exercise Price.

5.5    Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued under the Plan. In the event that a Participant acquires the right to receive a fractional Share under the Plan, such Participant shall receive, in lieu of such fractional Share, cash equal to the Fair Market Value of the fractional Share as of the date of settlement.

ARTICLE VI.

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

6.1    Amendment. The Plan may be amended at any time and from time to time by the Board without the approval of shareholders of the Company, except that no amendment which increases the aggregate number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to the Plan, decreases the Exercise Price at which Stock Options or stock appreciation rights may be granted or materially modifies the eligibility requirements for participation in the Plan shall be effective unless and until the same is approved by the shareholders of the Company. No amendment of the Plan shall materially adversely affect any right of any Participant with respect to any Award theretofore granted without such Participant’s written consent.

6.2    Termination. The Plan shall terminate upon the earlier of the following dates or events to occur:

(a)    the adoption of a resolution of the Board terminating the Plan; or

17

(b)    the 10-year anniversary of the date of CA, Inc.’s 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

No Awards shall be granted under this Plan after it has been terminated. However, the termination of the Plan shall not alter or impair any of the rights or obligations of any person, without such person’s consent, under any Award theretofore granted under the Plan. After the termination of the Plan, any previously granted Awards shall remain in effect and shall continue to be governed by the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.

ARTICLE VII.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

7.1    Nontransferability of Awards. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.1, no Awards under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to alienation, anticipation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or transfer, other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution, by the Participant and no other persons shall otherwise acquire any rights therein. During the lifetime of a Participant, Stock Options (except for Nonqualified Stock Options that are transferable pursuant to subparagraphs (a) and (b) below) shall be exercisable only by the Participant and shall not be assignable or transferable except as provided above.

(a)    In the case of a Nonqualified Stock Option, except as the Committee may otherwise determine, and subject to the Committee’s authority under Section 3.2 to waive or amend any terms, conditions, limitations or restrictions of an Award, all or any part of such Nonqualified Stock Option may, subject to the prior written consent of the Committee, be transferred to one or more of a following classes of donees: family member, a trust for the benefit of a family member, a limited partnership whose partners are solely family members or any other legal entity set up for the benefit of family members. For purposes of this Section 7.1, a family member means a Participant’s spouse, children, grandchildren, parents, grandparents (natural, step, adopted, or in-laws), siblings, nieces, nephews and grandnieces and grandnephews.

(b)    Except as the Committee may at any time determine, and subject to the Committee’s authority under Section 3.2 to waive or amend any terms, conditions, limitations or restrictions of an Award, any Nonqualified Stock Option transferred by a Participant pursuant to paragraph (a) above may be exercised by the transferee only to the extent such Nonqualified Stock Option would have been exercisable by the Participant had no transfer occurred. Any such transferred Nonqualified Stock Option shall be subject to all of the same terms and conditions as provided in the Plan and in the applicable Award Agreement. The Participant or the Participant’s estate shall remain liable for any withholding tax which may be imposed by any federal, state or local tax authority and the transfer of Shares upon exercise of such Nonqualified Stock Option shall be conditioned on the payment of such withholding tax. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, withhold its consent to all or a part of any transfer of a Nonqualified Stock Option pursuant to this Section 7.1 unless and until the Participant makes arrangements satisfactory to the Committee for the payment of any such withholding tax. The Participant must immediately notify the Committee, in such form and manner as required by the Committee, of any proposed transfer of a Nonqualified Stock Option pursuant to this Section and no such transfer shall be effective until the Committee consents thereto in writing.

(c)    Anything in this Section 7.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event may the Committee permit an Incentive Stock Option to be transferred by any Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

18

7.2    Withholding of Taxes.

(a)    Stock Options. As a condition to the delivery of any Shares pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option, the Committee may require that the Participant, at the time of such exercise, pay to the Company by cash or by certified check, bank draft, wire transfer or postal or express money order an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable tax withholding obligations. The Committee may, however, in its discretion, accept payment of tax withholding obligations through any of the Exercise Price payment methods described in Section 4.7(e). In addition, the Committee may, in its discretion, permit payment of tax withholding obligations to be made by instructing the Company to withhold Shares that would otherwise be issued on exercise having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the applicable portion of the tax withholding obligations being so paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may any amount greater than the minimum statutory withholding obligation or such other withholding obligation as required by applicable law be satisfied by tendering or withholding Shares.

(b)    Restricted Stock. Except as otherwise determined by the Board or the Committee, the Company shall satisfy tax withholding obligations arising in connection with the release of restrictions on Shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units held by Participants subject to the tax laws of the United States, United Kingdom or Israel (and such other country where withholding is required at the time of the release of restrictions or as may be determined by the Company from time to time) by withholding Shares that would otherwise be available for delivery upon such release having a Fair Market Value on the date of release equal to the minimum statutory withholding obligation or such other withholding obligation as required by applicable law.

(c)    Awards. To the extent not covered by 7.2(a) or (b) above, as a condition to the delivery of any Shares, other property or cash pursuant to any Award or the lifting or lapse of restrictions on any Award, or in connection with any other event that gives rise to a federal or other governmental tax withholding obligation on the part of the Company relating to an Award (including, without limitation, FICA tax), (a) the Company may deduct or withhold (or cause to be deducted or withheld) from any payment or distribution to the Participant, whether or not pursuant to the Plan, (b) the Company shall be entitled to require that the Participant remit cash to the Company (through payroll deduction or otherwise) or (c) the Company may enter into any other suitable arrangements to withhold, in each case in an amount sufficient in the opinion of the Company to satisfy such withholding obligation.

7.3    Non-Uniform Determinations. None of Committee’s determinations under the Plan and Award Agreements need to be uniform and any such determinations may be made by it selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards under the Plan (whether or not such persons are similarly situated). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall be entitled, among other things, to make non-uniform and selective determinations under Award Agreements, and to enter into non-uniform and selective Award Agreements, as to (a) the persons to receive Awards, (b) the terms and provisions of Awards, (c) whether a Participant’s employment has been terminated for purposes of the Plan and (d) any adjustments to be made to Awards pursuant to Section 5.3 or otherwise.

7.4    Required Consents and Legend. (a) If the Committee shall at any time determine that any consent (as hereinafter defined) is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of any Award, the delivery of Shares or the delivery of any cash, securities or other property under the Plan, or the taking of any other action thereunder (each such action being hereinafter referred to as a “plan action”), then such plan action shall not be taken, in whole or in part, unless and until such consent shall have been effected or obtained to the full satisfaction of the Committee. The Committee may direct that any Certificate evidencing Shares delivered pursuant to the Plan shall bear a legend setting forth such restrictions on transferability as the Committee may determine to be necessary or desirable, and may advise the transfer agent to place a stop order against any legended shares. By accepting an Award, each Participant shall have expressly provided consent to the items described in Section 7.4(b)(iv) hereof.

19

(b)    The term “consent” as used herein with respect to any plan action includes (i) any and all listings, registrations or qualifications in respect thereof upon any securities exchange or under any federal, state or local law, or law, rule or regulation of a jurisdiction outside the United States, (ii) any and all written agreements and representations by the Participant with respect to the disposition of shares, or with respect to any other matter, which the Committee may deem necessary or desirable to comply with the terms of any such listing, registration or qualification or to obtain an exemption from the requirement that any such listing, qualification or registration be made, (iii) any and all other consents, clearances and approvals in respect of a plan action by any governmental or other regulatory body or any stock exchange or self-regulatory agency, (iv) any and all consents by the Participant to (A) the Company’s supplying to any third party recordkeeper of the Plan such personal information as the Committee deems advisable to administer the Plan, (B) the Company’s deducting amounts from the Participant’s wages, or another arrangement satisfactory to the Committee, to reimburse the Company for advances made on the Participant’s behalf to satisfy certain withholding and other tax obligations in connection with an Award and (C) the Company’s imposing sales and transfer procedures and restrictions and hedging restrictions on Shares delivered under the Plan and (v) any and all consents or authorizations required to comply with, or required to be obtained under, applicable local law or otherwise required by the Committee. Nothing herein shall require the Company to list, register or qualify the Shares on any securities exchange.

7.5    Special Forfeiture Provision. If the Committee, in its discretion, determines and the applicable Award Agreement so provides, a Participant who, without prior written approval of the Company, enters into any employment or consultation arrangement (including service as an agent, partner, stockholder, consultant, officer or director) to any entity or person engaged in any business in which the Company or its affiliates is engaged which, in the sole judgment of the Company, is competitive with the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate, (i) shall forfeit all rights under any outstanding Stock Option or stock appreciation right and shall return to the Company the amount of any profit realized upon the exercise, within such period as the Committee may determine, of any Stock Option or stock appreciation right and (ii) shall forfeit and return to the Company all Shares of Restricted Stock and other Awards which are not then vested or which vested but remain subject to the restrictions imposed by this Section 7.3, as provided in the Award Agreement.

7.6    Code Section 83(b) Elections. Neither the Company, any Related Company, nor the Committee shall have any responsibility in connection with a Participant’s election, or attempt to elect, under Code section 83(b) to include the value of a Restricted Stock Award in the Participant’s gross income for the year of payment. Any Participant who makes a Code section 83(b) election with respect to any such Award shall promptly notify the Committee of such election and provide the Committee with a copy thereof.

7.7    No Implied Rights. The establishment and subsequent operation of the Plan, including eligibility as a Participant, shall not be construed as conferring any legal or other right upon any Employee for the continuation of his or her employment, or upon any Consultant for the continuation of his or her consultancy, for any Performance Cycle or any other period. The Company expressly reserves the right, which may be exercised at any time and without regard to when, during a Performance Cycle or other accounting period, such exercise occurs, to discharge any individual and/or treat him or her without regard to the effect which such treatment might have upon him or her under any outstanding Award.

7.8    No Obligation to Exercise Options. The granting of a Stock Option shall impose no obligation upon the Participant to exercise such Stock Option.

20

7.9    No Rights as Stockholders. A Participant granted an Award under the Plan shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to such Award unless and until such time as certificates for the Shares underlying the Award are registered in such Participant’s name. The right of any Participant to receive Shares by virtue of the terms of an Award or participation in the Plan shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company. With respect to any or all Awards, the Company may, in lieu of physical certificates, cause for electronic shares to be held in the Participant’s name with a transfer agent or broker.

7.10    Indemnification of Committee. The Company shall indemnify, to the full extent permitted by law, each person made or threatened to be made a party to any civil or criminal action or proceeding by reason of the fact that he, or his testator or intestate, is or was a member of the Committee or a delegate of the Committee so acting.

7.11    No Required Segregation of Assets. Neither the Company nor any Related Company shall be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by Awards granted pursuant to the Plan.

7.12    Nature of Payments. All Awards made pursuant to the Plan are in consideration of services for the Company or the Related Companies. Any gain realized pursuant to Awards under the Plan constitutes a special incentive payment to the Participant and shall not be taken into account as compensation for purposes of any of the employee benefit plans of the Company or any Related Company except as may be determined by the Board or by the board of directors of the applicable Related Company.

7.13    Securities Exchange Act Compliance. Awards under the Plan are intended to satisfy the requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. If any provision or this Plan or of any grant of an Award would otherwise frustrate or conflict with such intent, that provision shall be interpreted and deemed amended so as to avoid such conflict.

7.14    Section 409A

(a)    All Awards made under the Plan that are intended to be “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A shall be interpreted, administered and construed to comply with Section 409A, and all Awards made under the Plan that are intended to be exempt from Section 409A shall be interpreted, administered and construed to comply with and preserve such exemption. The Committee shall have full authority to give effect to the intent of the foregoing sentence. To the extent necessary to give effect to this intent, in the case of any conflict or potential inconsistency between the Plan and a provision of any Award or Award Agreement with respect to an Award, the Plan shall govern.

(b)    Without limiting the generality of Section 7.14(a), with respect to any Award made under the Plan that is intended to be “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A: (a) any payment to be made with respect to such Award in connection with the Participant’s separation from service to the Company within the meaning of Section 409A (and any other payment that would be subject to the limitations in Section 409A(a)(2)(b) of the Code) shall be delayed until six months after the Participant’s separation from service (or earlier death) in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A; (b) if any payment to be made with respect to such Award would occur at a time when the tax deduction with respect to such payment would be limited or eliminated by Section 162(m), such payment may be deferred by the Company under the circumstances described in Section 409A until the earliest date that the Company reasonably anticipates that the deduction or payment will not be limited or eliminated; (c) to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A, any other securities, other Awards or other property that the Company may deliver in lieu of shares of Common Stock in respect of an Award

21

shall not have the effect of deferring delivery or payment beyond the date on which such delivery or payment would occur with respect to the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise have been deliverable (unless the Committee elects a later date for this purpose in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A); (d) with respect to any required consent described in Section 7.4 or the applicable Award Agreement, if such consent has not been effected or obtained as of the latest date provided by such Award Agreement for payment in respect of such Award and further delay of payment is not permitted in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A, such Award or portion thereof, as applicable, will be forfeited and terminate notwithstanding any prior earning or vesting; (e) if the Award includes a “series of installment payments” (within the meaning of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations), the Participant’s right to the series of installment payments shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and not as a right to a single payment; (f) if the Award includes “dividend equivalents” (within the meaning of Section 1.409A-3(e) of the Treasury Regulations), the Participant’s right to the dividend equivalents shall be treated separately from the right to other amounts under the Award; and (g) for purposes of determining whether the Participant has experienced a separation from service to the Company within the meaning of Section 409A, “subsidiary” shall mean a corporation or other entity, starting with Broadcom Inc., in a chain of corporations or other entities in which each corporation or other entity has a controlling interest in another corporation or other entity in the chain, ending with such corporation or other entity. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term “controlling interest” has the same meaning as provided in Section 1.414(c)-2(b)(2)(i) of the Treasury Regulations, provided that the language “at least 20 percent” is used instead of “at least 80 percent” each place it appears in Section 1.414(c)-2(b)(2)(i) of the Treasury Regulations.

7.15    Governing Law; Severability. The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by the internal substantive laws, and not the choice of law rules, of the State of New York and construed accordingly, to the extent not superseded by applicable federal law. If any provision of the Plan shall be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, the unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of the Plan or part thereof, each of which shall remain in full force and effect.

Exhibit 5.1

[Letterhead of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz]

November 5, 2018

Broadcom Inc.

1320 Ridder Park Drive

San Jose, California 95131

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Broadcom Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement,” which term does not include any other document or agreement whether or not specifically referred to therein or attached as an exhibit or schedule thereto) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the issuance by the Company of up to 19,464,468 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”), issuable pursuant to:

(A) outstanding restricted stock units and restricted stock awards under the CA, Inc. 2011 Incentive Plan, as amended and restated as of November 5, 2018 (the “Assumed Plan”), which was assumed by the Company in connection with the completion of certain transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 11, 2018 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and between the Company, Collie Acquisition Corp., and CA, Inc.; and

(B) (i) the Avago Technologies Limited 2009 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “Avago 2009 Plan”); and (ii) the Broadcom Corporation 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Broadcom 2012 Plan,” and together with the Avago 2009 Plan, collectively, the “Existing Plans”) (the “Assumed Plan” and the “Existing Plans,” collectively, the “Plans”).

In rendering this opinion, we have examined the Registration Statement, the Plans, the Merger Agreement and such corporate records, other documents and matters of law as we have deemed necessary or appropriate, including the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, as amended and as currently in effect. In rendering this opinion, we have relied, with your consent, upon oral and written representations of officers of the Company and certificates of officers of the Company and public officials with respect to the accuracy of the factual matters addressed in such representations and certificates. In addition, in rendering this opinion, we have assumed without verification the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as duplicates or certified or conformed copies, the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents, and the legal capacity of all individuals executing any of the foregoing documents.

We have also assumed that the appropriate action will be taken, prior to the offer and sale of the Shares in accordance with the Plans, to register and qualify the Shares for sale under all applicable state securities or “blue

sky” laws. We have further assumed that there will be no material changes to the documents we have examined and that, at all times prior to the issuance of the Shares, the Company will maintain a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, available for such issuance.

Based on and subject to the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized for issuance and, when the Shares are issued in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

We are members of the Bar of the State of New York and we express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (including the statutory provisions, all applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting the foregoing).

This opinion letter speaks only as of its date, and we undertake no (and hereby disclaim any) obligation to update this opinion. This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issuance of the Shares.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

Exhibit 23.2

CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

We hereby consent to the incorporation by reference in this Registration Statement on Form S-8 of Broadcom Inc. of our reports dated December 21, 2017 relating to the financial statements, financial statement schedule and the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, which appear in Broadcom Limited’s and Broadcom Cayman L.P.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 29, 2017.
