• Broadcom arranged for financial partners to assume portions of AI rack purchase agreements and customer leases on October 26, 2026.
• A residual value backstop for a newly formed special purpose vehicle carries maximum potential undiscounted liability of approximately $43 billion upon deployment.
• Following customer default, liability equals the difference between 72.5% of outstanding lease amounts and proceeds from selling the AI racks.
• The backstop increases as racks are delivered and deployed, then decreases as the customer makes lease payments.
• Remedies to limit exposure include assuming the lease, conditional fixed-price resale to the seller, or arranging an asset sale.
