My money is on NO as the answer to that question. But how? Maybe they get their buyout as all shares, thereby sidestepping the whole issue.
There will be a way, those guys never pay taxes, they always financially engineer a result that benefits them and them alone, being the major stockholders.
I do fear that this 50/50 cash/avgo-stick split is a myth that only applies to mere mortals.
"Nope. Read the employee faq. We get 50/50 no matter what we put on the form… unless we opt to not participate, which shouldn’t be an option and is the default choice?!!"
It's you that needs to read it. There are plenty of worked examples that show what shareholders will get.

Q35 row scenerio 5
If you chose 100% cash, you would get it. If you chose 100% shares and for some reason enough people elect cash, you would get 100% shares

The company that built the form, not VMware or BC, can't make assumptions about how shareholders make elections.
Wow, way to go supporting the status quo.
Let’s have the form have 29x more options, hey if you can’t figure it out it’s on you.

Yea, that seems like a fair balance of affairs protecting the employees.
"The employee FAQ states it is 50/50, so should the form. Can’t make a custom form for the 70billion transaction?"
You misunderstand how these things work. If you chose 100% cash, you would get it. If you chose 100% shares and for some reason enough people elect cash, you would get 100% shares. The company that built the form, not VMware or BC, can't make assumptions about how shareholders make elections.
The employee FAQ states it is 50/50, so should the form. Can’t make a custom form for the 70billion transaction?
"If 50/50 was the only way this deal is going to be closed, why does the form let you select 100% as AVGO stock?"
Just because the options are obvious on what to do in this situation, doesn't mean it's like that for every acquisition. If the 2 prices were similar to what they were at the date of the announcement, elections would be more varied.
If 50/50 was the only way this deal is going to be closed, why does the form let you select 100% as AVGO stock?
I think we need the Michael Dell FAQ, not the employee FAQ to answer this question.
"Did you read it? Do you know the answer? Why not say it instead of giving homework to others. Troll"
Get f@cked. Take some f@cking responsibility for your own financial situation. The answers are there, I've pointed the person to the answer. If they can't take 5 minutes to read it themselves, that's on them.
"If you have concerns over certain shareholders getting preferential treatment, download and read the Stock FAQ."

Then again, would BC really want MD to have such a large amount of their shares?
It is the nature of the deal. Dell will be the largest single shareholder of Broadcom, have a board seat, yadda yadda yadda…
This is why I sold all my shares. I don’t trust that the 50:50 will apply to everyone. Then again, would BC really want MD to have such a large amount of their shares?
How does Dell or Ichann paying taxes or not paying taxes, affect you at all?
What if one opts for all shares payout and don’t get 50/50 as Dell and folks hoarded all the shares allocated for the acquisition?
Yes Dell doesn’t care and 50:50 is unlikely as they’ll opt for all shares
I agree with the other guy. Stay in your lane and mind your own business.
