Broadcom Inc. plans to fire almost 1,300 VMware Inc. employees in California following the completion of a $61 billion acquisition that pushed the chipmaker deeper into the software industry.

The cuts will begin Jan. 26 and affect some 1,267 positions, Broadcom said in a submission to the California Employment Development Department. The jobs are located at VMware’s Palo Alto headquarters, which will remain open.
