Item 4.     Ownership:

            Provide the following information regarding the aggregate number and
            percentage of the class of securities of the issuer identified in
            Item 2(d).

     (a)    Amount beneficially owned:   4,310,000 (2)


     (b)    Percent of class:   7.6% (3)



- ---------------------------------
(1)   General Instrument Corporation ("General Instrument") is the registered
      holder of (a) 160,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and (b) 4,150,000
      shares of Class B Common Stock, which are convertible into Class A Common
      Stock on a share for share basis.

      On January 5, 2000, pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger (the
      "Agreement and Plan of Merger"), dated September 14, 1999, General
      Instrument merged with and into Lucerne Acquisition Corp. ("Lucerne"), a
      Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Motorola (the
      "Merger"). As a result of the Merger the separate corporate existence of
      Lucerne ceased and General Instrument continued as the surviving
      corporation as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Motorola. In connection with
      the Merger, each outstanding share of General Instrument common stock was
      exchanged for 0.575 shares of Motorola common stock, with cash in lieu of
      any fractional Motorola shares that former General Instrument stockholders
      would have otherwise received.

      As a result of the Merger, General Instrument became a wholly-owned
      subsidiary of Motorola and, therefore, Motorola became the sole beneficial
      owner of the 4,310,000 shares of Broadcom Corporation held by General
      Instrument, with the sole voting and investment power with respect to such
      shares. Consequently, Motorola has assumed the reporting obligations with
      respect to such shares, and no future statements on Schedule 13G or
      amendments will be filed by General Instrument with respect to such
      shares.

(2)   This number of shares beneficially owned takes into account the sale of
      65,000 shares of Class A Common Stock on December 22-23, 1999.

(3)   Based on the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of
      November 10, 1999 (as reported in Broadcom Corporation's Form 10-Q filed
      with the SEC on November 15, 1999), Motorola's percentage ownership is
      7.6% as of the date of this filing. Pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(I),
      Motorola's shares of Class B Common Stock are deemed to be outstanding
      shares of Class A Common Stock for purposes of computing the percentage of
      Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by Motorola.
