Legacy Broadcom targeted networking semiconductors, such as switch and physical layer chips, broadband products (such as television set-top box processors), and connectivity chips that handle standards such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

The hedge fund also has 779,600 shares in call options and 889,200 shares in put options on Broadcom that it could choose to execute if the opportunity presents itself before the expiration date.
