Very little support fast tracking offers. The press widely says deal with close Q1 (Nov - Jan) and SYMC says internally Jan. The press also supports Broadcom will wring out $1 billion in the 12 months after close. If all this is true, the December seems like a more reasonable time.

From what I understand, BRCM wants to close the Symc deal before their FY end, Nov 1. Offer letters to ‘stays’ will be out by Oct 1. They do expect many to decline the offers and thus can’t ‘term’ ahead of that time since the offers will trickle down until an acceptance happens.71
Expect offers by 1st October and closing day around 1st November
The offers will come before the close not after. It's in their interest to make them as quickly as possible. As people leave due to uncertainty, the value of what they bought goes down.
