PRELIMINARY—SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED FEBRUARY 26, 2021

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF MARVELL TECHNOLOGY GROUP LTD. AND

THE STOCKHOLDERS OF INPHI CORPORATION

PROPOSED MERGERS—YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT

Dear Shareholders,

Marvell Technology Group Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (“Marvell”), Marvell Technology, Inc. (f/k/a Maui HoldCo, Inc.), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Marvell (“HoldCo”), Maui Acquisition Company Ltd, a Bermuda exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo (“Bermuda Merger Sub”), Indigo Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo (“Delaware Merger Sub”), and Inphi Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Inphi”), have entered into an agreement and plan of merger and reorganization, dated as of October 29, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and a statutory merger agreement complying with the requirements of Section 105 of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda, as amended (the “Statutory Merger Agreement”), Marvell will acquire Inphi in a cash and stock transaction through (1) the merger of Bermuda Merger Sub with and into Marvell (the “Bermuda Merger”) and (2) the merger of Delaware Merger Sub with and into Inphi (the “Delaware Merger” and, together with the Bermuda Merger, the “Mergers”). As a result of the Mergers, which will become effective within one minute of each other, Marvell and Inphi will become wholly owned subsidiaries of HoldCo, a new holding company.

At the effective time of the Bermuda Merger (the “Bermuda Merger Effective Time”), each common share, $0.002 par value per share, of Marvell (each, a “Marvell Share”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time (other than Marvell Shares held by Marvell, HoldCo, Bermuda Merger Sub or Inphi or any other subsidiary of Marvell or Inphi) will be converted into the right to receive one share of common stock, $0.002 par value per share, of HoldCo (each, a “HoldCo Share”). At the effective time of the Delaware Merger (the “Delaware Merger Effective Time”), each share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Inphi (each, an “Inphi Share”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time (other than (i) Inphi Shares held by Inphi, Marvell, HoldCo, Delaware Merger Sub or any other subsidiary of Marvell or Inphi and (ii) Inphi Shares with respect to which appraisal rights are properly exercised and not withdrawn under Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive 2.323 HoldCo Shares and $66.00 in cash, without interest, plus cash in lieu of any fractional HoldCo Shares.

We anticipate that immediately following the completion of the Mergers, the former Marvell shareholders will own approximately 83% of the issued and outstanding HoldCo Shares, and the former Inphi stockholders will own approximately 17% of the issued and outstanding HoldCo Shares, each on a fully diluted basis. Marvell Shares are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “MRVL” and Inphi Shares are listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “IPHI.” Upon completion of the Mergers, we expect that HoldCo Shares will be listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “MRVL.”

The obligations of Marvell and Inphi to complete the Mergers are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of several conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, including, among other things, separate approvals of both Marvell shareholders and Inphi stockholders. To obtain these required approvals, Marvell will hold a general meeting of Marvell shareholders on April 15, 2021 (the “Marvell Shareholder Meeting”) and Inphi will hold a special meeting of Inphi stockholders on April 15, 2021 (the “Inphi Stockholder Meeting”).

At the Marvell Shareholder Meeting, Marvell shareholders will be asked to consider and vote on (i) a proposal to approve an amendment to Marvell’s Fourth Amended and Restated Bye-Laws (the “Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal”), (ii) a proposal to approve the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement and the Bermuda Merger (the “Marvell Merger Proposal”), and (iii) a proposal to adjourn the Marvell Shareholder Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to permit further solicitation of proxies if there are not sufficient votes at

the time of the Marvell Shareholder Meeting to approve the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal or the Marvell Merger Proposal. Approval of the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal is not a condition to completion of the Mergers, but will have the effect of lowering the approval threshold for the Marvell Merger Proposal. Approval of the Marvell Merger Proposal by Marvell shareholders is a condition to completion of the Mergers. Marvell’s board of directors unanimously recommends that Marvell shareholders vote “FOR” each of the proposals to be considered at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting.

At the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, Inphi stockholders will be asked to consider and vote on (i) a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement (the “Inphi Merger Proposal”), (ii) a proposal to adjourn the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to permit further solicitation of proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Inphi Stockholder Meeting to approve the Inphi Merger Proposal, and (iii) a proposal to approve a non-binding, advisory resolution on the compensation that may become payable to Inphi’s named executive officers in connection with the completion of the Mergers (the “Inphi Compensation Proposal”). Approval of the Inphi Merger Proposal by Inphi stockholders is a condition to completion of the Mergers. Inphi’s board of directors unanimously recommends that Inphi stockholders vote “FOR” each of the proposals to be considered at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting.

Information about the Marvell Shareholder Meeting and the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, the Mergers, the proposals to be considered by Marvell shareholders at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting and the proposals to be considered by Inphi stockholders at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting is contained in the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus and the documents incorporated therein by reference, which we urge you to read carefully. In particular, see “Risk Factors” beginning on page 36 of the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus for a discussion of the risks related to the Mergers. You can also obtain information about Marvell and Inphi from documents that Marvell and Inphi have previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Your vote is very important, regardless of the number of Marvell Shares or Inphi Shares that you own. Whether or not you plan to attend the Marvell Shareholder Meeting or the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, as applicable, please mark, sign, date and return all proxy cards that you receive in the postage-paid envelope provided, so that your Marvell Shares or Inphi Shares may be represented and voted at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting or the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, as applicable. We cannot complete the Mergers and the merger consideration will not be paid unless (i) Marvell shareholders approve the Marvell Merger Proposal and (ii) Inphi stockholders approve the Inphi Merger Proposal. Approval of the Marvell Merger Proposal requires the affirmative vote (virtually or by proxy) of 75% of the votes cast at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting (provided a quorum is present), the statutory default under Bermuda law, or, if the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal is approved, a majority of the votes cast at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting (provided a quorum is present). Approval of the Inphi Merger Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the Inphi Shares outstanding and entitled to vote (provided a quorum is present). Every vote counts. Failure to vote with respect to the Inphi Merger Proposal will have the same effect as voting against such proposal.

We are very excited about the opportunities the proposed Mergers bring to both Marvell shareholders and Inphi stockholders, and we thank you for your consideration and continued support.

Sincerely,

Matthew J. Murphy President, Chief Executive Officer and Director Marvell Technology Group Ltd. |  | Dr. Ford Tamer President, Chief Executive Officer and Director Inphi Corporation

To consider and vote on a proposal to approve an amendment to Marvell’s Fourth Amended and Restated Bye-Laws (the “Marvell Bye-Law Amendment”) to reduce the shareholder vote required to approve a merger with any other company from the affirmative vote of 75% of the votes cast at a general meeting of the shareholders, the statutory default under Bermuda law, to a simple majority of the votes cast at a general meeting of the shareholders (in each case, provided a quorum is present at such general meeting of the shareholders) (the “Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal”);

| 2. | Proposal 2—Marvell Merger Proposal. To consider and vote on a proposal (the “Marvell Merger Proposal”) to approve: (i) the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of October 29, 2020 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Marvell, Marvell Technology, Inc. (f/k/a Maui HoldCo, Inc.), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Marvell (“HoldCo”), Maui Acquisition Company Ltd, a Bermuda exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo (“Bermuda Merger Sub”), Indigo Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo (“Delaware Merger Sub”), and Inphi Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Inphi”), a copy of which is attached as Annex B to the joint proxy statement/prospectus accompanying this notice, pursuant to which (a) Bermuda Merger Sub will be merged with and into Marvell (the “Bermuda Merger”), with Marvell continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo, and (b) Delaware Merger Sub will be merged with and into Inphi (the “Delaware Merger” and, together with the Bermuda Merger, the “Mergers”), with Inphi continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo; (ii) the statutory merger agreement complying with the requirements of Section 105 of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda, as amended (the “Statutory Merger Agreement”), a copy of which is attached as Annex C to the joint proxy statement/prospectus accompanying this notice; and (iii) the Bermuda Merger; and

##### Table of Contents

| there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Marvell Shareholder Meeting to approve the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal or the Marvell Merger Proposal (the “Marvell Adjournment Proposal”).

No other business will be conducted at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting. The joint proxy statement/prospectus accompanying this notice describes the proposals listed above in detail. Please give your careful attention to all of the information contained in or incorporated by reference into the joint proxy statement/prospectus accompanying this notice, including the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement and the other Annexes, for further information. The joint proxy statement/prospectus accompanying this notice is also available on Marvell’s website at http://investor.marvell.com. The joint proxy statement/prospectus accompanying this notice contains detailed information about the Marvell Shareholder Meeting and the Mergers. We urge you to read the joint proxy statement/prospectus accompanying this notice carefully and in its entirety. In particular, see the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 36 of the joint proxy statement/prospectus accompanying this notice for a discussion of the risks related to the Mergers. For specific instructions on how to submit your proxy, please refer to the section of the joint proxy statement/prospectus titled “The Marvell Shareholder Meeting” beginning on page 65.

After careful consideration, the Marvell board of directors has unanimously determined that the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment, the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement and the Bermuda Merger are fair to, and in the best interests of, Marvell and its shareholders and has unanimously approved the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment, the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement and the Bermuda Merger. The Marvell board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Marvell Merger Proposal and “FOR” the Marvell Adjournment Proposal.

YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF SHARES YOU OWN.

The approval of the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote (virtually or by proxy) of a majority of the votes cast by holders of Marvell common shares represented at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting (provided a quorum is present), which, under legal principles understood by Marvell’s Bermuda counsel to be applicable in Bermuda, excludes abstentions and broker non-votes. The completion of the Mergers is not dependent on the approval of the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal or the Marvell Adjournment Proposal.

If the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal is approved, the Marvell Merger Proposal will require the affirmative vote (virtually or by proxy) of a majority of the votes cast by holders of Marvell common shares represented at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting (provided a quorum is present). However, if the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal is not approved, the Marvell Merger Proposal will require the affirmative vote (virtually or by proxy) of 75% of the votes cast by holders of Marvell common shares represented at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting (provided a quorum is present), the statutory default under Bermuda law. The Mergers cannot be completed without the approval of the Marvell Merger Proposal.

The approval of the Marvell Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote (virtually or by proxy) of a majority of votes cast by holders of Marvell common shares represented at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting (provided a quorum is present).

Under legal principles understood by Marvell’s Bermuda counsel to be applicable in Bermuda, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal or the Marvell Merger Proposal.

Marvell shareholders at the close of business on February 25, 2021 may have such shareholders’ Marvell common shares voted by following the instructions provided in the joint proxy statement/prospectus accompanying this notice or on the enclosed proxy card or, if your common shares are held in “street name,” by following the instructions in the voting instruction form to be provided to you by your bank, broker or other

nominee. Marvell strongly recommends that Marvell shareholders entitled to vote submit a proxy even if such shareholders plan to attend the Marvell Shareholder Meeting. Submitting a proxy now (including by telephone or via the Internet) will not prevent you from being able to vote at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting by attending virtually and casting a vote.

Marvell shareholders who hold Marvell common shares beneficially in “street name” and wish to submit a proxy must provide instructions to the broker, bank, trustee or other nominee that holds such shareholders’ Marvell common shares as to how to vote such shareholders’ Marvell common shares. A Marvell shareholder who holds such shareholder’s Marvell common shares beneficially in “street name” and wishes to vote virtually at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting must obtain a proxy issued in the holder’s own name (known as a “legal proxy”) from the holder’s broker, bank, trustee or other nominee.

For purposes of Section 106(2)(b)(i) of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda, as amended (the “Bermuda Companies Act”), the Marvell board of directors considers the fair value for each Marvell common share to be equal to the value of one share of common stock of HoldCo. Any Marvell shareholder who does not vote in favor of the Bermuda Merger, is not satisfied that such holder has been offered fair value for such holder’s common shares and validly submits an application for appraisal may have the fair value of such holder’s common shares appraised by the Supreme Court of Bermuda (the “Bermuda Court”) under Section 106 of the Bermuda Companies Act. A Marvell shareholder intending to apply to the Bermuda Court for an appraisal of such holder’s common shares MUST file an application for appraisal with the Bermuda Court within ONE MONTH after the giving of this notice convening the Marvell Shareholder Meeting.

If Inphi takes this step, Inphi will announce the decision to do so in advance, and details on how to participate will be issued by press release, posted on our website at http://inphi.com and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as supplemental proxy material.

At the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, you will be asked:

| 1. | Proposal 1—Inphi Merger Proposal. To consider and vote on a proposal (the “Inphi Merger Proposal”) to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of October 29, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Inphi, Marvell Technology Group Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (“Marvell”), Marvell Technology, Inc. (f/k/a Maui HoldCo, Inc.), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Marvell (“HoldCo”), Maui Acquisition Company Ltd, a Bermuda exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo (“Bermuda Merger Sub”), and Indigo Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo (“Delaware Merger Sub”), a copy of which is attached as Annex B to the joint proxy statement/prospectus accompanying this notice, pursuant to which (i) Bermuda Merger Sub will be merged with and into Marvell (the “Bermuda Merger”), with Marvell continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo, and (ii) Delaware Merger Sub will be merged with and into Inphi (the “Delaware Merger” and together with the Bermuda Merger, the “Mergers”), with Inphi continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo;

| 2. | Proposal 2—Inphi Adjournment Proposal.

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on the Inphi Record Date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Inphi Stockholder Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the Inphi Stockholder Meeting.

##### Table of Contents

If you hold any shares of common stock of Inphi, $0.001 par value per share (“Inphi Shares”), in your name at the close of business on the Inphi Record Date and plan to attend the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, please be prepared to provide valid government-issued photo identification (e.g., a driver’s license or a passport) to gain admission to the Inphi Stockholder Meeting.

If you are a beneficial owner of Inphi Shares held in “street name,” meaning that your Inphi Shares are held by a broker, bank or other nominee holder of record at the Inphi Record Date and you plan to attend the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, in addition to proper identification, you will also need to provide proof of beneficial ownership at the close of business on the Inphi Record Date to be admitted to the Inphi Stockholder Meeting. A brokerage statement or letter from a bank or broker are examples of proof of beneficial ownership. If you wish to vote your Inphi Shares held in “street name” in person at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, you will have to obtain a written legal proxy in your name from the broker, bank or other nominee holder of record that holds your shares.

Approval of the Inphi Merger Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the Inphi Shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the close of business on the Inphi Record Date in person or represented by proxy at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting (provided a quorum is present). Approval of the Inphi Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the Inphi stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting and entitled to vote (regardless of whether a quorum is present). Approval of the Inphi Compensation Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Inphi Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting and entitled to vote (provided a quorum is present). The Inphi board of directors unanimously determined that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Delaware Merger, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, are advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, Inphi and its stockholders, and unanimously recommends that the Inphi stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Inphi Merger Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Inphi Adjournment Proposal and “FOR” the approval of the Inphi Compensation Proposal.

Under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”) if the Mergers are completed, record holders of Inphi Shares who do not vote in favor of the Inphi Merger Proposal and who otherwise properly exercise and perfect such stockholders’ appraisal rights will be entitled to seek appraisal for, and obtain payment in cash for the judicially determined fair value of, such stockholders’ Inphi Shares, in lieu of receiving 2.323 shares of common stock of HoldCo, $0.002 par value per share (each, a “HoldCo Share”), and $66.00 in cash, without interest, per Inphi Share, plus cash in lieu of any fractional HoldCo Shares (the “Delaware Merger Consideration”). The “fair value” could be higher or lower than, or the same as, the Delaware Merger Consideration. The relevant provisions of the DGCL are included as Annex H to the joint proxy statement/prospectus accompanying this notice. Inphi stockholders are encouraged to read these provisions carefully and in their entirety. Moreover, due to the complexity of the procedures for exercising and perfecting the right to seek appraisal, Inphi stockholders who are considering exercising and perfecting that right are encouraged to seek the advice of legal counsel. Failure to comply strictly with these provisions may result in loss of the right of appraisal. For a more complete description of Inphi stockholders’ appraisal rights, see “Delaware Appraisal Rights” beginning on page 82.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

The following questions and answers briefly address some questions that you may have about the Marvell Shareholder Meeting, the Inphi Stockholder Meeting and the Mergers. They may not include all the information that is important to you. Marvell and Inphi urge you to read carefully this entire joint proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the other documents to which we have referred you. We have included cross-references in certain parts of this section to direct you to a more detailed description of each topic presented elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Q: | What is the proposed transaction?

A: | Marvell and Inphi entered into the Merger Agreement on October 29, 2020. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the Statutory Merger Agreement, Marvell will acquire Inphi in a cash and stock transaction through (i) the merger of Bermuda Merger Sub with and into Marvell, and (ii) the merger of Delaware Merger Sub with and into Inphi. As a result of the Mergers, which will become effective within one minute of each other, Marvell and Inphi will become direct wholly owned subsidiaries of HoldCo. Following the Mergers, former Marvell shareholders and former Inphi stockholders will own HoldCo Shares, which are expected to be listed for trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “MRVL.” See “The Mergers” for more information.

Q: | What is this document?

A: | This joint proxy statement/prospectus serves as the joint proxy statement through which Marvell and Inphi provide their respective shareholders with important information regarding the Marvell Shareholder Meeting, the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment, the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and solicit proxies to obtain approvals for the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal and the Marvell Merger Proposal (in the case of Marvell shareholders) and the Inphi Merger Proposal and the Inphi Compensation Proposal (in the case of Inphi stockholders). It also serves as the prospectus by which HoldCo will offer and issue HoldCo Shares in connection with the Mergers.

Q: | Why am I receiving this joint proxy statement/prospectus?

A: | In order to complete the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Mergers, Marvell shareholders must approve the Marvell Merger Proposal and Inphi stockholders must approve the Inphi Merger Proposal, and all other conditions to the Mergers set forth in the Merger Agreement must be satisfied or waived. Marvell shareholders and Inphi stockholders will vote on these proposals at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting and the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, respectively. This joint proxy statement/prospectus contains important information, which you should read carefully, about the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement, the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Mergers, the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment, the Marvell Shareholder Meeting and the Inphi Stockholder Meeting.

The enclosed proxy materials allow you to grant a proxy to vote your shares by completing the enclosed proxy card or by submitting your proxy by telephone or via the Internet without attending the Marvell Shareholder Meeting virtually or the Inphi Stockholder Meeting in person.

Your vote is important. We encourage you to submit your proxy as soon as possible.

Q: | What am I being asked to vote on?

A: | At the Marvell Shareholder Meeting, Marvell shareholders will be asked:

| • |  | Proposal 1—Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal. To consider and vote on a proposal to approve an amendment to the Marvell Bye-Laws to reduce the shareholder vote required to approve a

1

##### Table of Contents

| merger with any other company (including the Bermuda Merger) from the affirmative vote of 75% of the votes cast at a general meeting of the shareholders, the statutory default under Bermuda law, to a simple majority of the votes cast at a general meeting of the shareholders (in each case, provided a quorum is present);

| • |  | Proposal 2—Marvell Merger Proposal. To consider and vote on a proposal to approve the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement and the Bermuda Merger; and

| • |  | Proposal 3—Marvell Adjournment Proposal. To consider and vote on a proposal to adjourn the Marvell Shareholder Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to permit further solicitation of proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Marvell Shareholder Meeting to approve the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal or the Marvell Merger Proposal.

At the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, Inphi stockholders will be asked:

| • |  | Proposal 1—Inphi Merger Proposal. To consider and vote on a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement;

| • |  | Proposal 2—Inphi Adjournment Proposal. To consider and vote on a proposal to adjourn the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to permit further solicitation of proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Inphi Stockholder Meeting to approve the Inphi Merger Proposal; and

| • |  | Proposal 3—Inphi Compensation Proposal. To consider and vote on a proposal to approve a non-binding, advisory resolution on the compensation that may become payable to Inphi’s named executive officers in connection with the completion of the Mergers.

Q: | What if Marvell shareholder approval of the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal or the Marvell Merger Proposal is not obtained?

A: | If the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal is approved, an amendment to the Marvell Bye-Laws will go into effect, which will reduce the shareholder vote required to approve a merger with any other company from the affirmative vote of 75% of the votes cast at a general meeting of the shareholders, the statutory default under Bermuda law, to a simple majority of the votes cast at a general meeting of the shareholders (in each case, provided a quorum is present) and, accordingly, the Marvell Merger Proposal will require the affirmative vote (virtually or by proxy) of a majority of the votes cast by holders of Marvell Shares represented at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting (provided a quorum is present).

However, if the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal is not approved, the Marvell Merger Proposal will require the affirmative vote (virtually or by proxy) of 75% of the votes cast by holders of Marvell Shares represented at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting (provided a quorum is present), the statutory default under Bermuda law.

If the Marvell Merger Proposal is not approved, then the Mergers will not occur.

Q: | What if Inphi stockholder approval of the Inphi Merger Proposal or the Inphi Compensation Proposal is not obtained?

A: | If the Inphi Merger Proposal is not approved, then the Mergers will not occur.

The vote on the Inphi Compensation Proposal is separate and apart from the vote on the Inphi Merger Proposal. Accordingly, Inphi stockholders may vote in favor of the Inphi Merger Proposal and not in favor of the Inphi Compensation Proposal, or vice versa. Approval of the Inphi Compensation Proposal is not a condition to completion of the Mergers, and it is advisory in nature only, meaning it will not be binding on Marvell, Inphi or HoldCo.

##### Table of Contents

Q: | Why are Marvell and Inphi proposing the Mergers?

A: | The Marvell Board and the Inphi Board believe that the Mergers will provide substantial strategic and financial benefits to the companies, the Marvell shareholders and the Inphi stockholders. To review the reasons for the Mergers, see “The Mergers—Marvell’s Reasons for the Mergers and Recommendation of the Marvell Board” and “The Mergers—Inphi’s Reasons for the Mergers and Recommendation of the Inphi Board” for more information.

Q: | What are the positions of the Marvell Board and the Inphi Board regarding the Mergers and the related proposals that are being put to a vote of the Marvell shareholders and Inphi stockholders?

A: | Marvell. The Marvell Board has unanimously determined that the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment, the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement and the Bermuda Merger are fair to, and in the best interests of, Marvell and its shareholders and has unanimously approved the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment, the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement, the Bermuda Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Marvell Board unanimously recommends that the Marvell shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Marvell Merger Proposal and “FOR” the Marvell Adjournment Proposal at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting. See “The Mergers—Marvell’s Reasons for the Merger and Recommendation of the Marvell Board” for more information.

Inphi. The Inphi Board has unanimously (i) determined that the Merger Agreement and the Delaware Merger are advisable and fair to and in the best interests of Inphi and its stockholders, (ii) approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Delaware Merger, in accordance with the DGCL, and (iii) recommended that Inphi stockholders vote to adopt the Merger Agreement at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting. The Inphi Board unanimously recommends that Inphi stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Inphi Merger Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Inphi Adjournment Proposal, and “FOR” the approval of the Inphi Compensation Proposal at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting. See “The Mergers—Inphi’s Reasons for the Mergers and Recommendation of the Inphi Board” for more information.

Q: | What vote is required to approve each proposal on the agenda for the Marvell Shareholder Meeting?

A: | Approval of the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote (virtually or by proxy) of a majority of the votes cast by holders of Marvell Shares represented at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting (provided a quorum is present), which, under legal principles understood by Marvell’s Bermuda counsel to be applicable in Bermuda, excludes abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, which will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal. An abstention occurs when a Marvell shareholder attends the Marvell Shareholder Meeting virtually, or is represented at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting by proxy, and abstains from voting. Under legal principles understood by Marvell’s Bermuda counsel to be applicable in Bermuda, Marvell Shares not in attendance and not represented by proxy at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal, provided that a quorum is present. See “Questions and Answers—What if I do not provide my bank, broker or other nominee with instructions on how to vote?” for an explanation of broker non-votes.

Approval of the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal is not a condition to completion of the Mergers, but will have the effect of lowering the approval threshold for the Marvell Merger Proposal.

If the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal is approved, approval of the Marvell Merger Proposal requires the affirmative vote (virtually or by proxy) of a majority of the votes cast by holders of Marvell Shares represented at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting (provided a quorum is present). If the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal is not approved, approval of the Marvell Merger Proposal will require the affirmative vote (virtually or by proxy) of 75% of the votes cast by holders of Marvell Shares represented at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting (provided a quorum is present), the statutory default under Bermuda

law. Under legal principles understood by Marvell’s Bermuda counsel to be applicable in Bermuda, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Marvell Merger Proposal, regardless of whether the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal is approved.

Approval of the Marvell Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote (virtually or by proxy) of a majority of the votes cast by holders of Marvell Shares represented at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting (provided a quorum is present). Under legal principles understood by Marvell’s Bermuda counsel to be applicable in Bermuda, if you are present virtually or represented by proxy, and vote to abstain, it will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Marvell Adjournment Proposal. Also under legal principles understood by Marvell’s Bermuda counsel to be applicable in Bermuda, broker non-votes, if any, and shares not in attendance and not represented by proxy at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting also will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Marvell Adjournment Proposal. See “The Marvell Shareholder Meeting—Quorum and Vote Required” for more information.

Q: | What vote is required to approve each proposal on the agenda for the Inphi Stockholder Meeting?

A: | Approval of the Inphi Merger Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the Inphi Shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the close of business on the Inphi Record Date in person or represented by proxy at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting (provided a quorum is present). Accordingly, an Inphi stockholder’s abstention from voting, the failure of an Inphi stockholder who holds such holder’s shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee holder of record to give voting instructions to that broker, bank or other nominee holder of record or an Inphi stockholder’s other failure to vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposal.

Approval of the Inphi Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the Inphi stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting and entitled to vote (regardless of whether a quorum is present). Accordingly, an Inphi stockholder’s abstention from voting will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposal, but the failure of an Inphi stockholder who holds such holder’s shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee holder of record to give voting instructions to that broker, bank or other nominee holder of record or an Inphi stockholder’s other failure to vote will have no effect on the approval of the proposal (regardless of whether a quorum is present).

Approval of the Inphi Compensation Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Inphi Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting and entitled to vote (provided a quorum is present). Accordingly, an Inphi stockholder’s abstention from voting will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposal, but the failure of an Inphi stockholder who holds such holder’s shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee holder of record to give voting instructions to that broker, bank or other nominee holder of record or an Inphi stockholder’s other failure to vote will have no effect on the approval of the proposal (provided a quorum is present).

Q: | How many votes do I have?

A: | Marvell shareholders are entitled to one vote for each Marvell Share owned by such holders at the close of business on February 25, 2021, the Marvell Record Date. See “The Marvell Shareholder Meeting—Record Date; Issued Shares; Shares Entitled to Vote” for more information.

Inphi stockholders are entitled to one vote for each Inphi Share owned by such holders at the close of business on February 25, 2021, the Inphi Record Date. See “The Inphi Stockholder Meeting—Inphi Record Date; Outstanding Shares; Stockholders Entitled to Vote” for more information.

Q: | What will happen in the Mergers?

A: | Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Statutory Merger Agreement, Bermuda Merger Sub will be merged with and into Marvell, with Marvell continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo. Pursuant

##### Table of Contents

| to the Merger Agreement, one minute after the completion of the Bermuda Merger, Delaware Merger Sub will be merged with and into Inphi, with Inphi continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo. Upon completion of the Mergers, former Marvell shareholders and former Inphi stockholders will own HoldCo Shares, which are expected to be listed for trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “MRVL.” We anticipate that immediately following the Mergers, former Marvell shareholders and former Inphi stockholders will own approximately 83% and 17%, respectively, of the total number of HoldCo Shares issued and outstanding, each on a fully diluted basis. See “The Merger Agreement—Effective Time and Completion of the Mergers” for more information.

Q: | Who will serve on the HoldCo Board and as officers of HoldCo after the Mergers?

A: | Under the Merger Agreement, the directors of HoldCo immediately after the Bermuda Merger Effective Time will include each of the individuals who are directors of the Marvell Board as of the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, plus the Chief Executive Officer of Inphi as of the Delaware Merger Effective Time. Inphi’s current Chief Executive Officer is Dr. Ford Tamer, who is also a member of the Inphi Board. Dr. Tamer is expected to remain Inphi’s Chief Executive Officer through the completion of the Delaware Merger and therefore, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, is expected to be appointed to the HoldCo Board at that time.

Under the Merger Agreement, the executive officers of HoldCo immediately after the Bermuda Merger Effective Time will be the individuals who are executive officers of Marvell as of the Bermuda Merger Effective Time.

Q: | What will Marvell shareholders receive in the Bermuda Merger?

A: | At the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, each Marvell Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time (other than Marvell Shares held by Marvell, HoldCo, Bermuda Merger Sub or Inphi or any other subsidiary of Marvell or Inphi) will be converted into the right to receive one HoldCo Share. Any Marvell shareholder who does not vote in favor of the Bermuda Merger, is not satisfied that such holder has been offered fair value for such holder’s Marvell Shares and validly submits an application for appraisal may have the fair value of such holder’s Marvell Shares appraised by the Bermuda Court under Section 106 of the Bermuda Companies Act. Marvell shareholders intending to apply for an appraisal of such shareholders’ Marvell Shares MUST file their application for appraisal with the Bermuda Court within ONE MONTH after the giving of the notice convening the Marvell Shareholder Meeting. The notice delivered with this joint proxy statement/prospectus constitutes this notice.

Q: | What will Inphi stockholders receive in the Delaware Merger?

A: | At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each Inphi Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time (other than (i) Inphi Shares held by Inphi, Marvell, HoldCo, Delaware Merger Sub or any other subsidiary of Marvell or Inphi and (ii) Inphi Shares with respect to which appraisal rights are properly exercised and not withdrawn under Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive 2.323 HoldCo Shares and $66.00 in cash, without interest, plus cash in lieu of any fractional HoldCo Shares. Each Inphi stockholder will receive cash for any fractional HoldCo Share that such stockholder would otherwise receive in the Delaware Merger.

Q: | If I am an Inphi stockholder, how will I receive the cash merger consideration to which I will be entitled if the Delaware Merger is completed?

A: | You will be paid the cash merger consideration as soon as reasonably practicable after the completion of the Delaware Merger and after receipt by the Exchange Agent of your Inphi Stock Certificates (or evidence

5

##### Table of Contents

| of the transfer of shares in book-entry form), a duly executed letter of transmittal and any additional documents required by the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal. See “The Merger Agreement—Exchange of Inphi Stock Certificates.”

Q: | What happens if the market price of Marvell Shares or Inphi Shares changes before the completion of the Mergers?

A: | No change will be made to the Marvell Exchange Ratio or the Inphi Exchange Ratio based on fluctuations in the market price of either Marvell Shares or Inphi Shares. As a result, the number of HoldCo Shares that you will receive as consideration in the Mergers is fixed and will not change. However, the value of the consideration to be received by Marvell shareholders and Inphi stockholders in the Mergers may increase or decrease depending on the market price of Marvell Shares at the Bermuda Merger Effective Time and the Delaware Merger Effective Time.

On October 28, 2020, the last trading day prior to the public announcement of the Merger Agreement, the closing price of Marvell Shares on Nasdaq was $39.53 per share and the closing price of Inphi Shares on Nasdaq was $110.60 per share. On , 2021, the last practicable trading day prior to the filing of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the closing price of Marvell Shares on Nasdaq was $ per share and the closing price of Inphi Shares on Nasdaq was $ per share. We urge you to obtain current market quotations before voting your shares.

Q: | Will Marvell and Inphi continue to pay dividends or distributions prior to the completion of the Merger?

A: | The Merger Agreement permits Marvell to continue to pay quarterly cash dividends in an amount not to exceed $0.06 per share. Decisions regarding whether or not to pay ordinary quarterly cash dividends and the amount and timing of any such dividends will be based on the judgment of the Marvell Board. While Marvell anticipates that it would continue to pay dividends, Marvell can provide no assurances that this will be the case. Inphi has never paid cash dividends on its common stock and is prohibited under the Merger Agreement from declaring or paying any cash dividend without Marvell’s prior written consent.

Q: | What will happen to outstanding Marvell equity awards in the Mergers?

A: | At the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, each Marvell Option, Marvell RSU and Marvell PSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time will be converted into an equivalent option to purchase, or award to be paid in, HoldCo Shares and will remain subject to the same terms, conditions and restrictions as the original option or award. See “The Merger Agreement—Treatment of Marvell Equity Awards” for more information.

Q: | What will happen to outstanding Inphi equity awards in the Mergers?

A: | Inphi Options

At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each In-the-Money Inphi Option that is vested and held by a person who is not a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider, will be canceled, and the holder of such In-the-Money Inphi Option will be entitled to receive (subject to applicable withholding or other taxes) an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the number of Inphi Shares subject to such In-the-Money Inphi Option, multiplied by (ii) the excess of (A) the Equity Award Cash Consideration Amount over (B) the exercise price applicable to such In-the-Money Inphi Option.

At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each In-the-Money Inphi Option that is held by a person who is a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider, whether vested or unvested, will be assumed by HoldCo and converted into an option to purchase, on substantially the same terms and conditions as were

6

##### Table of Contents

applicable under such In-the-Money Inphi Option, that number of HoldCo Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (i) the number of Inphi Shares subject to such In-the-Money Inphi Option, multiplied by (ii) the Conversion Ratio, at an exercise price per HoldCo Share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the per share exercise price for Inphi Shares subject to such In-the-Money Inphi Option, by (B) the Conversion Ratio.

At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each Out-of-the-Money Inphi Option and each In-the-Money Inphi Option that is unvested and held by a person who is not a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider will be canceled for no consideration.

Inphi RSUs

At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each Inphi RSU that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time and that is held by a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider will be converted into that number of HoldCo restricted stock units (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (i) the number of Inphi Shares subject to such Inphi RSU, multiplied by (ii) the Conversion Ratio.

At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each Inphi RSU that is outstanding and vested (and with respect to which Inphi Shares have not yet been issued) immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time (including any Inphi RSUs that become vested by their terms immediately prior to or as of the Delaware Merger Effective Time) will be canceled and extinguished, and the holder thereof will be entitled to receive (subject to applicable withholding or other taxes, which withholding will first be applied against the cash portion of the consideration paid in respect of such Inphi RSUs): (i) an amount in cash equal to the product of (A) $66.00, multiplied by (B) the total number of Inphi Shares subject to such Inphi RSU; and (ii) a number of HoldCo Shares equal to the product of (A) 2.323, multiplied by (B) the total number of Inphi Shares subject to such Inphi RSU. Such HoldCo restricted stock units will be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Inphi RSUs prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time.

At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each Inphi RSU that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time and that is held by a person who is not a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider will be canceled for no consideration.

Inphi PSUs

At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each Inphi PSU that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time and is held by a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider will be assumed and converted into that number of HoldCo restricted stock units, rounded down to the nearest whole share, equal to the product of (a) the target number of Inphi Shares subject to such Inphi PSU, multiplied by (b) the Conversion Ratio. Such HoldCo restricted stock units: (i) will vest based on the vesting date or schedule set forth in the award agreement applicable to such Inphi PSU prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time, subject only to the continued service of the grantee with Marvell or any of its affiliates through the applicable vesting date; (ii) will not be subject to any performance-based vesting terms following the Delaware Merger Effective Time; and (iii) will otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Inphi PSUs prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time.

At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each Inphi PSU that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time and that is held by a person who is not a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider will be canceled for no consideration.

Inphi MSUs

At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each Inphi MSU that is outstanding (and with respect to which Inphi Shares have not yet been issued) immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time will be

7

##### Table of Contents

canceled and extinguished. Each such Inphi MSU will be deemed to vest in that percentage of Inphi Shares subject to such Inphi MSU determined by applying the formula in the applicable Inphi MSU award agreement applicable upon a change of control of Inphi. The holder of such vested Inphi MSUs will be entitled to receive (subject to applicable withholding or other taxes, which withholding will first be applied against the cash portion of the consideration paid in respect of such vested Inphi MSUs): (i) an amount in cash equal to the product of (A) $66.00, multiplied by (B) the total number of Inphi Shares subject to such vested Inphi MSU; and (ii) a number of HoldCo Shares equal to the product of (A) 2.323, multiplied by (B) the total number of Inphi Shares subject to such vested Inphi MSU. Any portion of an Inphi MSU that does not vest in accordance with these procedures will be canceled for no consideration.

See “The Merger Agreement—Treatment of Inphi Equity Awards” for more information.

Q: | What will happen to the Marvell Employee Stock Purchase Plan?

A: | The Merger Agreement provides that, at the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, HoldCo will assume the Marvell ESPP. Accordingly, if the Marvell Merger Proposal is approved by Marvell shareholders, following the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, HoldCo will be able to use the remaining share reserve, as automatically increased annually, to make available rights to purchase HoldCo Shares for the remaining term of the Marvell ESPP (currently running until June 2023). Any rights to purchase Marvell Shares under the Marvell ESPP that are outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time will be converted into rights to purchase HoldCo Shares on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the Marvell ESPP immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, and relating to the number of HoldCo Shares equal to the total number of Marvell Shares subject to the Marvell ESPP immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time. See “The Mergers—Effect of the Mergers on Marvell Equity Plans” for more information.

Q: | What will happen to the Inphi Employee Stock Purchase Plan?

A: | Following the date of the Merger Agreement, no new offering period will commence under the Inphi ESPP, no payroll deductions under the Inphi ESPP may be increased, and no new participants may commence participation in the Inphi ESPP. The final offering period under the Inphi ESPP will terminate no later than five business days before the anticipated closing date of the Mergers. All outstanding share purchase rights as of the date that the final offering period ends will be used to purchase Inphi Shares. Each Inphi Share purchased will be canceled at the Delaware Merger Effective Time and converted into the right to receive the Delaware Merger Consideration. Any accumulated contributions under the Inphi ESPP that are not used to purchase shares in accordance with the terms of the Inphi ESPP will be refunded to the respective participants as promptly as practicable following the Delaware Merger Effective Time. The Inphi ESPP will terminate as of the Delaware Merger Effective Time.

Q: | What will happen to the Marvell Equity Plans?

A: | The Merger Agreement provides that, at the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, HoldCo will assume the Marvell Equity Plans and the share reserve available for future issuances under the Marvell Option Plan and the Marvell ESPP. Accordingly, if the Marvell Merger Proposal is approved by Marvell shareholders, following the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, HoldCo will be able to use the remaining share reserve to grant awards covering HoldCo Shares under the Marvell Option Plan until the Marvell Option Plan is terminated by the HoldCo Board. All references in the Marvell Equity Plans or any award agreement thereunder to a number of Marvell Shares will be deemed amended to refer instead to a number of HoldCo Shares. In addition to the Marvell Options, Marvell RSUs and Marvell PSUs that will be converted at the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, HoldCo will be permitted to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, stock unit awards, performance awards and other stock-based awards, which may be granted to employees, directors and consultants, under the assumed Marvell Option Plan. See “The Mergers—Effect of the Mergers on Marvell Equity Plans” for more information.

Q: | What will happen to the Inphi Equity Plans?

A: | At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, HoldCo will assume certain outstanding awards under the Inphi Equity Plans, as explained above; however, it is not expected that HoldCo will grant future awards under the Inphi Equity Plans following the Delaware Merger Effective Time.

Q: | Will I be able to trade the HoldCo Shares that I receive in connection with the Mergers?

A: | Yes. The HoldCo Shares to be issued in connection with the Mergers are expected to be listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “MRVL.”

Q: | What percentage of HoldCo Shares will be owned by former Marvell shareholders and former Inphi stockholders following the Mergers?

A: | We anticipate that immediately following the Mergers, former Marvell shareholders will own approximately 83% of the number of HoldCo Shares issued and outstanding and former Inphi stockholders will own approximately 17% of the number of HoldCo Shares issued and outstanding, each on a fully diluted basis.

Q: | Do Inphi stockholders have appraisal rights?

A: | Yes. Because Inphi is a Delaware corporation, under the DGCL, holders of Inphi Shares who do not vote for the adoption of the Merger Agreement have the right to seek appraisal of the fair value of such holders’ Inphi Shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery if the Delaware Merger is completed, but only if such holders comply fully with the requirements and procedures of Section 262 of the DGCL, which is attached as Annex H. This appraisal amount could be more than, the same as, or less than the amount an Inphi stockholder would be entitled to receive under the Merger Agreement. Any Inphi stockholder intending to exercise appraisal rights, among other things, must submit a written demand for appraisal to Inphi prior to the vote on the adoption of the Merger Agreement and must not vote (in person or by proxy) in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement. Failure to follow exactly the procedures specified under Delaware law will result in the loss of appraisal rights. These procedures are summarized in this joint proxy statement/prospectus in the section titled “Delaware Appraisal Rights.” Because of the complexity of Delaware law relating to appraisal rights, if you are considering exercising your appraisal rights, Inphi encourages you to seek the advice of your own legal counsel.

Q: | Do Marvell shareholders have appraisal rights?

A: | Yes. Under Bermuda law, any Marvell shareholder who does not vote in favor of the Bermuda Merger, is not satisfied that such holder has been offered fair value for such holder’s Marvell Shares and validly submits an application for appraisal may have the fair value of such holder’s Marvell Shares appraised by the Bermuda Court under Section 106 of the Bermuda Companies Act. A Marvell shareholder intending to apply to the Bermuda Court for an appraisal MUST file an application for appraisal with the Bermuda Court within ONE MONTH after the giving of the notice convening the Marvell Shareholder Meeting. The notice delivered with this joint proxy statement/prospectus constitutes this notice. See “Bermuda Appraisal Rights” for more information.

Q: | When do you expect to complete the Mergers?

A: | Marvell and Inphi currently expect to complete the Mergers during the second half of 2021, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described in “The Merger Agreement—Conditions to Completion of the Mergers.”

##### Table of Contents

Q: | What is required to complete the Mergers?

A: | In addition to the approval of the Marvell Merger Proposal by Marvell shareholders and the approval of the Inphi Merger Proposal by Inphi stockholders, completion of the Mergers is subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waiver of a number of other conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals, the accuracy of Marvell’s and Inphi’s respective representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement (subject to certain materiality qualifications) and Marvell’s and Inphi’s performance of their respective obligations under the Merger Agreement in all material respects. See “The Merger Agreement—Conditions to Completion of the Mergers” for more information regarding conditions to the completion of the Mergers.

Q: | What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers to U.S. holders of Marvell Shares and Inphi Shares?

A: | For U.S. federal income tax purposes, (1) the Mergers, taken together, are intended to qualify as a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code, and (2) the Bermuda Merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Provided that the transactions so qualify, a U.S. holder (as defined below in “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences”) of

| (i) | Marvell Shares, except as provided in the section titled “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers to Holders of Marvell Shares—Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the exchange of Marvell Shares for HoldCo Shares in the Bermuda Merger; and

| (ii) | Inphi Shares, subject to the discussions below regarding potential redemption or dividend treatment, will recognize gain, but not loss, on the exchange of Inphi Shares for a combination of HoldCo Shares and cash in the Delaware Merger equal to the lesser of: (1) the excess of (a) the sum of the fair market value of HoldCo Shares and the amount of cash received (excluding cash received in lieu of fractional HoldCo Shares) over (b) such U.S. holder’s tax basis in the Inphi Shares surrendered in exchange therefor, and (2) the amount of such cash received by such U.S. holder in the Delaware Merger.

To the extent, however, that any portion of the cash consideration received by a U.S. holder of Inphi Shares is considered to be provided by Inphi, such cash should be treated as received in a redemption by Inphi of a portion of such U.S. holder’s Inphi Shares. In such case, subject to the discussion below regarding potential dividend treatment, a U.S. holder would recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between such cash and the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the portion of such holder’s Inphi Shares treated as redeemed.

Moreover, in certain circumstances, a holder of Inphi Shares could be treated as receiving a dividend in an amount up to the amount of the cash consideration received by such holder in the Delaware Merger. As a result of the possibility of such deemed dividend treatment, a non-U.S. holder (as defined below in “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences”) of Inphi Shares may be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of up to 30% with respect to cash consideration received in the Delaware Merger.

See “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences” for more information. All Marvell shareholders and Inphi stockholders should consult with such shareholders’ and stockholders’ respective tax advisors to determine the specific U.S. federal, state or local or non-U.S. income or other tax consequences of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement to such shareholders and stockholders.

Q: | Is the completion of the Mergers subject to a financing condition?

A: | No. The completion of the Mergers is not subject to any financing condition.

##### Table of Contents

Q: | What is the amount of debt to be incurred by Marvell and HoldCo in connection with the Mergers?

A: | Marvell and HoldCo intend to fund the cash portion of the consideration for the Mergers with borrowings. Marvell and HoldCo have obtained financing commitments for (i) a $2.5 billion senior unsecured 364-day Bridge Facility pursuant to the Bridge Commitment Letter, and (ii) a $1.75 billion senior unsecured Term Loan Facility consisting of the $875.0 million 3-Year Term Loan and the $875.0 million 5-Year Term Loan, pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement.

Q: | What risks should I consider in deciding how to vote my shares?

A: | You should carefully review the section of this joint proxy statement/prospectus titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 36, which presents some of the risks and uncertainties relating to the Mergers and the businesses of each of Marvell and Inphi.

Q: | Does my vote matter?

A: | Yes, your vote is very important. Marvell and Inphi cannot complete the Mergers unless Marvell shareholders approve the Marvell Merger Proposal and Inphi stockholders approve the Inphi Merger Proposal. Whether or not you plan to attend the Marvell Shareholder Meeting or the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, please vote as soon as possible by following the instructions in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Q: | Should Inphi stockholders send in Inphi Stock Certificates now?

A: | NO, INPHI STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT SEND INPHI STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) WITH SUCH STOCKHOLDERS’ PROXY CARDS. If the Delaware Merger is completed, the Exchange Agent will send Inphi stockholders written instructions for sending in such stockholders’ Inphi Stock Certificates or, in the case of book-entry shares, for surrendering such stockholders’ book-entry shares. See “The Inphi Stockholder Meeting—Solicitation of Proxies; Expenses of Solicitation” and “The Merger Agreement—Exchange of Inphi Stock Certificates” for more information.

Q: | Who can answer my questions about the Merger?

Q: | Can I attend the Marvell Shareholder Meeting or the Inphi Stockholder Meeting in person?

A: | Due to the public health concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, the Marvell Shareholder Meeting will be held virtually via live audio-only webcast and you will not be able to attend in person. You will be able to vote your Marvell Shares electronically via the Internet and submit questions online during the meetings by logging in to the website specified above using the 16-digit control number included on your proxy card.

Inphi intends to hold the Inphi Stockholder Meeting in person. However, Inphi is actively monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and is sensitive to the public health and travel concerns Inphi stockholders may have and the protocols that federal, state, and local governments may impose. In the event it is not possible or advisable to hold the Inphi Stockholder Meeting in person, Inphi will announce alternative arrangements for the meeting as promptly as practicable, which may include holding the meeting solely by means of remote communication. If Inphi takes this step, Inphi will announce the decision to do so in advance, and details on how to participate will be issued by press release, posted on our website at http://inphi.com and filed with the SEC as supplemental proxy material.

If you were a Marvell shareholder at the close of business on the Marvell Record Date or you hold a valid legal proxy for the Marvell Shareholder Meeting, you may attend the Marvell Shareholder Meeting virtually.

##### Table of Contents

Q: | What constitutes a quorum?

A: | A quorum for the Marvell Shareholder Meeting is the presence at the meeting, either virtually or by proxy, of at least two holders representing in excess of 50% of the total issued voting shares of Marvell throughout the Marvell Shareholder Meeting. Under legal principles understood by Marvell’s Bermuda counsel to be applicable in Bermuda, abstentions (i.e., Marvell Shares that are represented virtually at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting or for which proxies have been received, but for which the holders have abstained from voting), if any, and broker non-votes, if any, will be included in the calculation of the number of Marvell Shares represented at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

A quorum for the Inphi Stockholder Meeting is the presence at the meeting of a majority of the voting power of the Inphi Shares entitled to vote at the close of business on the Inphi Record Date, present in person or represented by proxy. Abstentions (i.e., Inphi Shares that are represented at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting or for which proxies have been received but for which the holders have abstained from voting), if any, will be included in the calculation of the number of Inphi Shares represented at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. Broker non-votes, if any, will not be included in the calculation of the number of Inphi Shares represented at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

Q: | What should I do now?

A: | You should read this joint proxy statement/prospectus carefully, including the Annexes, and return your completed, signed and dated proxy card(s) by mail in the enclosed postage-paid envelope or submit your voting instructions by telephone or via the Internet as soon as possible so that your shares will be represented and voted at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting or the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, as applicable. A number of banks and brokerage firms participate in a program that also permits shareholders whose shares are held in “street name” to direct such shareholders’ vote by telephone or via the Internet. This option, if available, will be reflected in the voting instructions from the bank or brokerage firm that accompany this joint proxy statement/prospectus. If your shares are held in an account at a bank or brokerage firm that participates in such a program, you may direct the vote of these shares by telephone or via the Internet by following the voting instructions enclosed with the proxy form from the bank or brokerage firm. See “The Marvell Shareholder Meeting—How to Vote” and “The Inphi Stockholder Meeting—Voting of Shares” for more information.

Q: | What happens if I sell my shares before the Marvell Shareholder Meeting or Inphi Stockholder Meeting?

A: | If a Marvell shareholder transfers such shareholder’s Marvell Shares after the Marvell Record Date, but before the Marvell Shareholder Meeting, such shareholder will retain (subject to any arrangements made with the purchaser of such shareholder’s Marvell Shares) such shareholder’s right to vote at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting. However, in order for Marvell shareholders to receive the Bermuda Merger Consideration, such shareholders must hold such shareholders’ Marvell Shares through the Bermuda Merger Effective Time.

If an Inphi stockholder transfers such stockholder’s Inphi Shares after the Inphi Record Date, but before the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, such stockholder will retain (subject to any arrangements made with the purchaser of such stockholder’s Inphi Shares) such stockholder’s right to vote at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting. However, in order for Inphi stockholders to receive the Delaware Merger Consideration, such stockholders must hold such stockholders’ Inphi Shares through the Delaware Merger Effective Time.

Q: | How do I vote my Marvell Shares?

A: | You may vote your Marvell Shares virtually at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting or by submitting a proxy by mail or telephone or via the Internet. Marvell recommends that you submit your proxy even if you plan

| to attend the Marvell Shareholder Meeting. If you submit your proxy, you may change your vote if you attend and vote at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting. However, mere attendance at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting will not automatically revoke your previously submitted proxy.

Owners of record (that is, shareholders of record who hold Marvell Shares in such shareholders’ own name, as opposed to through a bank, broker or other nominee), at the close of business on the Marvell Record Date, may vote virtually at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting or by proxy. This means that you may use the enclosed proxy card(s) to instruct the persons named as proxies how to vote your Marvell Shares. If you properly complete, sign and date your proxy card(s) or submit your voting instructions by telephone or via the Internet, your Marvell Shares will be voted in accordance with your instructions. The named proxies will vote all Marvell Shares at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting for which proxies have been properly submitted (whether by mail, telephone or via the Internet) and not revoked. Owners of record have three ways to vote by proxy:

| • |  | Internet. You can submit your proxy via the Internet at the Internet address shown on your proxy card(s). You will be prompted to enter your 16-digit control number from your proxy card. This number will identify you as a shareholder of record. Follow the simple instructions that will be given to you to record your vote. If you submit your proxy via the Internet, do not return your proxy card(s).

| • |  | Telephone. You can submit your proxy by telephone by calling the toll-free number on your proxy card(s). You will be prompted to enter your 16-digit control number from your proxy card. This number will identify you as a shareholder of record. Follow the simple instructions that will be given to you to record your vote. If you submit your proxy by telephone, do not return your proxy card(s).

| • |  | Mail. You can submit your proxy by mail by simply signing, dating and mailing your proxy card(s) in the postage-paid envelope included with this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

If you sign and return your proxy card(s) but do not mark your card(s) to instruct the proxies how to vote your Marvell Shares on each proposal, your Marvell Shares will be voted as recommended by the Marvell Board.

The deadline for voting via the Internet or by telephone is 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on April 14, 2021.

Q: | How do I vote my Inphi Shares?

A: | Please carefully consider the information contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Whether or not you plan to attend the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, Inphi encourages you to submit a proxy to vote via the Internet or by mail so that your Inphi Shares will be voted in accordance with your wishes even if you later decide not to attend the Inphi Stockholder Meeting.

Inphi encourages you to submit your proxy to vote via the Internet or by mail. If you attend the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, you may also vote in person, in which case any proxies that you previously submitted—whether via the Internet or by mail—will be revoked and superseded by the vote that you cast at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting. To vote in person at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, beneficial owners who hold shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee holder of record will need to contact the broker, bank or other nominee holder of record to obtain a written legal proxy to bring to the meeting. Whether your proxy is submitted via the Internet or by mail, if it is properly completed and submitted, and if you do not revoke it prior to or at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, your Inphi Shares will be voted at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting in the manner specified by you, except as otherwise set forth in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

| • |  | Internet. If you hold Inphi Shares directly in your name as a stockholder of record, you may submit a proxy to vote via the Internet by following the instructions provided on the proxy card or voting instruction card you receive. In order to submit a proxy to vote via the Internet, you will need the control number on your proxy card (which is unique to each Inphi stockholder to ensure all voting instructions are genuine and to prevent duplicate voting). Proxies may be submitted via the Internet 24

| hours a day, seven days a week, and must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on April 14, 2021. If you hold Inphi Shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee holder of record, you may provide voting instructions via the Internet only if Internet voting is made available by your broker, bank or other nominee holder of record. Please follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee holder of record with these materials.

| • |  | Mail. If you hold Inphi Shares directly in your name as a stockholder of record, you may submit a proxy card to vote by mail by dating, signing and returning your proxy card in the enclosed postage-prepaid return envelope or as instructed on the voting instructed card. Your proxy card must be received prior to the Inphi Stockholder Meeting. If you hold Inphi Shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee holder of record, in order to provide voting instructions by mail, you will need to complete, sign and date the voting instruction form provided by your broker, bank or other nominee holder of record and return it in the postage-paid return envelope provided. Your broker, bank or other nominee holder of record must receive your voting instruction form in sufficient time to vote your shares.

| • |  | In Person. If you hold Inphi Shares directly in your name as a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting. Stockholders of record also may be represented by another person at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting by executing a proper proxy designating that person. If you hold Inphi Shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee holder of record, you must obtain a written legal proxy from that institution and present it to the inspector of elections with your ballot to be able to vote in person at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting. To request a legal proxy, please contact your broker, bank or other nominee holder of record.

Again, you may submit a proxy to vote via the Internet until 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on April 14, 2021, or your proxy card must be mailed and received prior to the Inphi Stockholder Meeting.

Q: | If I am going to attend the Marvell Shareholder Meeting virtually or the Inphi Stockholder Meeting in person, should I return my proxy card(s)?

A: | Yes. Returning your completed, signed and dated proxy card(s) or submitting your proxy by telephone or via the Internet, as applicable, ensures that your Marvell Shares or Inphi Shares, as applicable, will be represented and voted at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting or the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, as applicable. See “The Marvell Shareholder Meeting—How to Vote” and “The Inphi Stockholder Meeting—Voting of Shares” for more information.

Q: | Can I change my vote after I mail my proxy card(s) or vote by telephone or via the Internet?

A: | Yes. If you are a holder of record of Marvell Shares or of Inphi Shares (in each case, that is, you hold your shares in your own name and not through a bank, broker or other nominee) at the close of business on the Marvell Record Date or the Inphi Record Date, respectively, you can change your vote by:

| • |  | sending a written notice to: (a) the corporate secretary of Marvell if you are holder of record of Marvell Shares, or (b) the corporate secretary of Inphi if you are a holder of record of Inphi Shares, in each case, bearing a date later than the date of the proxy, that is received prior to the Marvell Shareholder Meeting or Inphi Stockholder Meeting, as applicable, and stating that your proxy is revoked;

| • |  | signing, dating and delivering a new valid proxy card(s) bearing a later date that is received prior to the Marvell Shareholder Meeting if you are a holder of record of Marvell Shares or the Inphi Stockholder Meeting if you are a holder of Inphi Shares;

| • |  | submitting your voting instructions again by telephone or via the Internet by 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on April 14, 2021; or

| • |  | attending the Marvell Shareholder Meeting if you are a holder of record of Marvell Shares or the Inphi Stockholder Meeting if you are a holder of Inphi Shares, and in each case, voting virtually or in person, as applicable, although your attendance at the applicable meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.

##### Table of Contents

If you are a “street name” Marvell shareholder or Inphi stockholder and submitted voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee, please refer to the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee on how to change your vote.

Q: | How will my shares be represented at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting?

A: | If you properly complete, sign and date your proxy card(s) or submit your voting instructions by telephone or via the Internet, your Marvell Shares will be voted in accordance with your instructions. The named proxies will vote all Marvell Shares at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting for which proxies have been properly submitted (whether by mail, by telephone or via the Internet) and not revoked. If you sign and return your proxy card(s) but do not mark your card(s) to instruct the proxies how to vote your Marvell Shares on each proposal, your Marvell Shares will be voted as recommended by the Marvell Board, which is:

| • |  | “FOR” the approval of the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal;

| • |  | “FOR” the approval of the Marvell Merger Proposal; and

| • |  | “FOR” the approval of the Marvell Adjournment Proposal.

However, if you indicate that you wish to vote against the approval of the Marvell Merger Proposal, your shares will only be voted in favor of the approval of the Marvell Adjournment Proposal if you indicate that you wish to vote in favor of that proposal.

Q: | How will my shares be represented at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting?

A: | If you properly complete, sign and date your proxy card(s) or submit your voting instructions via the Internet, your Inphi Shares will be voted in accordance with your instructions. The named proxies will vote all Inphi Shares at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting for which proxies have been properly submitted (whether by mail or via the Internet) and not revoked. If you sign and return your proxy card(s) but do not mark your card(s) to instruct the proxies how to vote your Inphi Shares on each proposal, your Inphi Shares will be voted as recommended by the Inphi Board, which is:

| • |  | “FOR” the approval of the Inphi Merger Proposal;

| • |  | “FOR” the approval of the Inphi Adjournment Proposal; and

| • |  | “FOR” the approval of the Inphi Compensation Proposal.

However, if you indicate that you wish to vote against the approval of the Inphi Merger Proposal, your Inphi Shares will only be voted in favor of the approval of the Inphi Adjournment Proposal if you indicate that you wish to vote in favor of that proposal.

Q: | What if my bank, broker or other nominee holds my shares in “street name”?

A: | If a bank, broker or other nominee holds your Marvell Shares or Inphi Shares, your Marvell Shares or Inphi Shares, as applicable, are held in “street name.” In that case, your bank, broker or other nominee will send you a voting instruction form to use in voting your Marvell Shares or Inphi Shares, as applicable. The availability of telephone, mail and Internet voting depends on the voting procedures of your bank, broker or other nominee. Please follow the instructions on the voting instruction form your bank, broker or other nominee sends you. If you hold Marvell Shares in the name of your bank, broker or other nominee and you wish to vote virtually at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting, you must contact your bank, broker or other nominee and request a document called a “legal proxy.” Your “legal proxy” will include a 16-digit control number that you will use to log into the website for the live audio-only webcast or the virtual meeting. If you hold Inphi Shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee holder of record, you must obtain a written legal proxy from that institution and present it to the inspector of elections with your ballot to be able to vote in person at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting. To request a legal proxy, please contact your broker, bank or other nominee holder of record.

##### Table of Contents

Q: | What if I do not provide my bank, broker or other nominee with instructions on how to vote?

A: | Generally, a bank, broker or other nominee may vote the shares that it holds for you only in accordance with your instructions. However, if your bank, broker or other nominee has not received your instructions, your bank, broker or other nominee has the discretion to vote on certain matters that are considered routine. A “broker non-vote” occurs if your bank, broker or other nominee cannot vote on a particular matter because your bank, broker or other nominee has not received instructions from you and because the proposal is not routine. None of the proposals being presented at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting or the Inphi Stockholder Meeting are considered a routine matter. Therefore, your bank, broker or other nominee will not be permitted to vote at either meeting without instructions from you as the beneficial owner of Marvell Shares or Inphi Shares, as applicable.

Q: | What if I abstain from voting?

A: | Your abstention from voting will have the following effect:

If you are a Marvell shareholder:

For all proposals, a properly executed proxy marked “abstain,” under legal principles understood by Marvell’s Bermuda counsel to be applicable in Bermuda, will be counted in determining whether a quorum is present at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting, but, will be excluded from, and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the approval of the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal, the Marvell Merger Proposal or the Marvell Adjournment Proposal.

If you are an Inphi stockholder:

For all proposals, a properly executed proxy marked “abstain” will be counted in determining whether a quorum is present at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting. With respect to the Inphi Merger Proposal, the Inphi Adjournment Proposal, and the Inphi Compensation Proposal, abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” such proposals.

Q: | What does it mean if I receive multiple proxy cards or voting instruction forms?

A: | Your shares may be registered in more than one account, such as brokerage accounts and 401(k) accounts. It is important that you complete, sign, date and return each proxy card or voting instruction form you receive or submit your proxy using the telephone or the Internet as described in the instructions included with your proxy card(s) or voting instruction form(s).

Q: | What happens if I am a holder of both Marvell Shares and Inphi Shares?

A: | You will receive separate proxy cards from each of Marvell and Inphi and you should complete, sign and date each proxy card and return each proxy card in the appropriate preaddressed postage-paid envelope or should submit a proxy by one of the other methods specified on your proxy card or voting instruction form for each company.

Q: | Where can I find more information about Marvell and Inphi?

A: | You can find more information about Marvell and Inphi from various sources described under “Where You Can Find More Information.”

Marvell’s Reasons for the Mergers and Recommendation of the Marvell Board (beginning on page 100)

In evaluating the proposed Mergers, the Marvell Board consulted with Marvell’s management and legal and financial advisors and, in reaching its determination and recommendation, the Marvell Board considered a number of factors. Many of the factors considered supported the conclusion of the Marvell Board that the Bermuda Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Statutory Merger Agreement were fair to and in the best interests of Marvell and its shareholders.

By a vote at a meeting of the Marvell Board held on October 28, 2020, the Marvell Board unanimously determined that the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment, the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement and the Bermuda Merger are fair to, and in the best interests of, Marvell and its shareholders and unanimously approved the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment, the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement, the Bermuda Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Marvell Board unanimously recommends that Marvell shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Marvell Merger Proposal and “FOR” the approval of the Marvell Adjournment Proposal.

Inphi’s Reasons for the Mergers and Recommendation of the Inphi Board (beginning on page 106)

In evaluating the proposed Mergers, the Inphi Board consulted with Inphi’s management and legal and financial advisors and, in reaching its determination and recommendation, the Inphi Board considered a number of factors.

##### Table of Contents

J.P. Morgan’s written opinion was addressed to the Marvell Board (in its capacity as such) in connection with and for the purposes of its evaluation of the proposed Mergers, was directed only to the Delaware Merger Consideration to be paid in the Delaware Merger and did not address any other aspect of the Mergers. J.P. Morgan expressed no opinion as to the fairness of the consideration to the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of Marvell or as to the underlying decision by Marvell to engage in the proposed Mergers. The issuance of J.P. Morgan’s opinion was approved by a fairness committee of J.P. Morgan. The opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder of Marvell as to how such shareholder should vote with respect to the Bermuda Merger or any other matter.

For financial advisory services rendered in connection with the Mergers, Marvell has agreed to pay J.P. Morgan a fee of approximately $32.5 million, of which $4 million became payable upon delivery of its opinion and the remainder will become payable upon the completion of the Mergers. Marvell has also agreed to reimburse J.P. Morgan for its expenses incurred in performing its services.

Opinion of Inphi’s Financial Advisor, Qatalyst Partners (beginning on page 116)

Inphi retained Qatalyst Partners as its financial advisor in connection with the Mergers based on Qatalyst Partners’ qualifications, expertise, reputation and knowledge of Inphi’s business and the industry in which Inphi operates. At the meeting of the Inphi Board on October 28, 2020, Qatalyst Partners rendered to the Inphi Board its oral opinion, which was subsequently confirmed in writing, to the effect that as of October 28, 2020, and based upon and subject to the various assumptions, qualifications, limitations and other matters set forth therein, the Delaware Merger Consideration to be received pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement, by the holders of Inphi Shares, other than Marvell or any affiliate of Marvell, was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders.

The full text of the opinion of Qatalyst Partners, dated as of October 28, 2020, is attached as Annex D to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated into this joint proxy statement/prospectus by reference. The opinion sets forth, among other things, the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications of the review undertaken by Qatalyst Partners in rendering its opinion. You should read the opinion carefully in its entirety.

Qatalyst Partners’ opinion was provided to the Inphi Board and addresses only, as of the date of the opinion, the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Delaware Merger Consideration to be received pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement by the holders of Inphi Shares, other than Marvell or any affiliate of Marvell, to such holders. It does not address any other aspect of the Mergers. It does not constitute a recommendation as to how to vote with respect to the Mergers or any other matters and does not in any manner address what the value of HoldCo Shares actually will be when issued pursuant to the Mergers or the price at which Inphi Shares, Marvell Shares or HoldCo Shares will trade or otherwise be transferable at any time.

For financial advisory services rendered in connection with the Mergers, Inphi has agreed to pay Qatalyst Partners a fee of approximately $82 million (provided that the final actual fee will be, in part, based on Marvell’s closing share price at the time of the closing of the Mergers, and, accordingly, the final fee may vary significantly from this estimate), $5 million of which became payable upon delivery of its opinion (regardless of the conclusion reached in the opinion), and the remaining portion of which will be paid upon, and subject to, the completion of the Mergers.

Interests of Marvell Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers (beginning on page 133)

Certain executive officers of Marvell negotiated the terms of the Merger Agreement and the Marvell Board approved the Merger Agreement and recommended that the Marvell shareholders vote in favor of the Marvell

21

##### Table of Contents

Bye-Law Amendment Proposal, the Marvell Merger Proposal and the Marvell Adjournment Proposal. Marvell’s executive officers and directors may have interests in the Mergers that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Marvell shareholders. The interests of Marvell’s executive officers and directors include, among others, the fact that Marvell’s executive officers will be the executive officers of HoldCo, the fact that Marvell’s directors will serve as directors on the HoldCo Board, and the fact that Marvell’s executive officers and directors will be provided continued indemnification and insurance coverage.

As a result of these interests, the executive officers and directors of Marvell might be more likely to support and to vote in favor of the proposals described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus than if they did not have these interests. Marvell shareholders should consider whether these interests might have influenced these executive officers and directors to support or recommend voting for the proposals related to the Mergers.

Interests of Inphi Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers (beginning on page 134)

Certain executive officers of Inphi negotiated the terms of the Merger Agreement and the Inphi Board approved the Merger Agreement and recommended that the Inphi stockholders vote in favor of the Inphi Merger Proposal, the Inphi Adjournment Proposal and the Inphi Compensation Proposal. The Inphi executive officers and directors may have interests in the Mergers that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Inphi stockholders. The interests of Inphi’s executive officers and directors include, among others, potential payments and benefits under change in control severance agreements, rights to acceleration of vesting and exercisability of options, acceleration of vesting of restricted stock units as a result of the Mergers and rights to ongoing indemnification and insurance coverage for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Mergers.

In addition, under the Merger Agreement the Chief Executive Officer of Inphi as of the Delaware Merger Effective Time will be appointed as a director of HoldCo upon the completion of the Delaware Merger. Inphi’s current Chief Executive Officer is Dr. Ford Tamer, who is also a member of the Inphi Board. Dr. Tamer is expected to remain Inphi’s Chief Executive Officer through the completion of the Delaware Merger and therefore, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, is expected to be appointed to the HoldCo Board at that time.

As a result of these interests, the executive officers and directors of Inphi might be more likely to support and to vote in favor of the proposals described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus than if they did not have these interests. Inphi stockholders should consider whether these interests might have influenced these executive officers and directors to support or recommend voting for the proposals related to the Mergers.

Effect of the Mergers on Marvell Equity Awards (beginning on page 145)

Each Marvell Option, Marvell RSU and Marvell PSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time will be converted into an equivalent HoldCo option or stock unit award and will remain subject to the same terms, conditions and restrictions as the original option or stock unit award.

Inphi Options

At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each In-the-Money Inphi Option that is vested and held by a person who is not a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider, will be canceled, and the holder of such In-the-Money Inphi Option will be entitled to receive (subject to applicable withholding or other taxes) an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the number of Inphi Shares subject to such In-the-Money Inphi Option, multiplied by (ii) the excess of (A) the Equity Award Cash Consideration over (B) the exercise price applicable to such In-the-Money Inphi Option.

22

##### Table of Contents

At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each In-the-Money Inphi Option that is held by a person who is a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider, whether vested or unvested, will be assumed by HoldCo and converted into an option to purchase, on substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such In-the-Money Inphi Option, that number of HoldCo Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (i) the number of Inphi Shares subject to such In-the-Money Inphi Option multiplied by (ii) the Conversion Ratio, at an exercise price per HoldCo Share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the per share exercise price for Inphi Shares subject to such In-the-Money Inphi Option, by (B) the Conversion Ratio.

At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each Out-of-the-Money Inphi Option and each In-the-Money Inphi Option that is unvested and held by a person who is not a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider will be canceled for no consideration.

Inphi RSUs

At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each Inphi RSU that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time and that is held by a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider will be converted into that number of HoldCo restricted stock units (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (i) the number of Inphi Shares subject to such Inphi RSU, multiplied by (ii) the Conversion Ratio.

At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each Inphi RSU that is outstanding and vested (and with respect to which Inphi Shares have not yet been issued) immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time (including any Inphi RSUs that become vested by their terms immediately prior to or as of the Delaware Merger Effective Time) will be canceled and extinguished, and the holder thereof will be entitled to receive (subject to applicable withholding or other taxes, which withholding will first be applied against the cash portion of the consideration paid in respect of such Inphi RSUs): (i) an amount in cash equal to the product of (A) $66.00, multiplied by (B) the total number of Inphi Shares subject to such Inphi RSU; and (ii) a number of HoldCo Shares equal to the product of (A) 2.323, multiplied by (B) the total number of Inphi Shares subject to such Inphi RSU.

At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each Inphi RSU that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time and that is held by a person who is not a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider will be canceled for no consideration.

Inphi PSUs

At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each Inphi PSU that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time and is held by a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider will be assumed and converted into that number of HoldCo restricted stock units, rounded down to the nearest whole share, equal to the product of (a) the target number of Inphi Shares subject to such Inphi PSU, multiplied by (b) the Conversion Ratio. Such HoldCo restricted stock units: (i) will vest based on the vesting date or schedule set forth in the award agreement applicable to such Inphi PSU prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time, subject only to the continued service of the grantee with Marvell or any of its affiliates through the applicable vesting date; (ii) will not be subject to any performance-based vesting terms following the Delaware Merger Effective Time; and (iii) will otherwise be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Inphi PSU prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time.

At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each Inphi PSU that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time and that is held by a person who is not a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider will be canceled for no consideration.

##### Table of Contents

Inphi MSUs

At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each Inphi MSU that is outstanding (and with respect to which Inphi Shares have not yet been issued) immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time will be canceled and extinguished. Each such Inphi MSU will be deemed to vest in that percentage of Inphi Shares subject to such Inphi MSU determined by applying the formula in the applicable Inphi MSU award agreement applicable upon a change of control of Inphi. The holder of such vested Inphi MSU will be entitled to receive (subject to applicable withholding or other taxes, which withholding will first be applied against the cash portion of the consideration paid in respect of such vested Inphi MSU): (i) an amount in cash equal to the product of (A) $66.00, multiplied by (B) the total number of Inphi Shares subject to such vested Inphi MSU; and (ii) a number of HoldCo Shares equal to the product of (A) 2.323, multiplied by (B) the total number of Inphi Shares subject to such vested Inphi MSU. Any portion of an Inphi MSU that does not vest in accordance with these procedures will be canceled for no consideration.

For a full description of the treatment of Inphi’s equity awards, see “The Mergers—Treatment of Equity Awards in the Mergers—Effect of the Mergers on the Treatment of Inphi Equity Awards.”

Effect of the Mergers on Marvell Equity Plans (beginning on page 147)

The Merger Agreement provides that, at the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, HoldCo will assume the Marvell Equity Plans. Accordingly, if the Marvell Merger Proposal is approved by Marvell shareholders, following the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, HoldCo will be able to use the remaining share reserve to grant awards covering HoldCo Shares under the Marvell Option Plan until the Marvell Option Plan is terminated by the HoldCo Board. HoldCo will similarly be able to use the remaining share reserve under the Marvell ESPP, as automatically increased annually, to make available rights to purchase HoldCo Shares for the remaining term (currently running until June 2023). All references in the Marvell Equity Plans or any award agreement thereunder to a number of Marvell Shares will be deemed amended to refer instead to a number of HoldCo Shares. In addition to the Marvell Options, Marvell RSUs and Marvell PSUs that will be converted at the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, HoldCo will be permitted to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, stock unit awards, performance awards and other stock-based awards, which may be granted to employees, directors and consultants, under the assumed Marvell Option Plan.

Effect of the Mergers on Inphi Equity Plans (beginning on page 149)

At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, HoldCo will assume certain outstanding awards under the Inphi Equity Plans, as explained above; however, it is not expected that HoldCo will grant future awards under the Inphi Equity Plans following the Delaware Merger Effective Time.

Purposes of the Marvell Shareholder Meeting (beginning on page 65)

At the Marvell Shareholder Meeting, Marvell shareholders will be asked:

| • |  | Proposal 1—Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal.

Marvell Record Date; Issued Shares; Shares Entitled to Vote (beginning on page 66)

The Marvell Record Date for the Marvell Shareholder Meeting is February 25, 2021. This means that a Marvell shareholder must be a holder of record of Marvell Shares at the close of business on February 25, 2021 in order to vote at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting. Marvell shareholders are entitled to one vote for each Marvell Share owned. At the close of business on the Marvell Record Date, there were 675,695,984 Marvell Shares issued and entitled to vote, held by approximately 512 holders of record.

Marvell Vote Required (beginning on page 66)

Required Vote to Approve the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal

Approval of the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote (virtually or by proxy) of a majority of the votes cast by holders of Marvell Shares represented at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting (provided a quorum is present). Approval of the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal is not a condition to completion of the Mergers, but will have the effect of lowering the approval threshold for the Marvell Merger Proposal.

Required Vote to Approve the Marvell Merger Proposal

If the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment is approved, the approval of the Marvell Merger Proposal will require the affirmative vote (virtually or by proxy) of a majority of the votes cast by holders of Marvell Shares represented at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting (provided a quorum is present).

If the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment is not approved, the approval of the Marvell Merger Proposal will require the affirmative vote (virtually or by proxy) of 75% of the votes cast by holders of Marvell Shares represented at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting (provided a quorum is present), the statutory default under Bermuda law.

Required Vote to Approve the Marvell Adjournment Proposal

Approval of the Marvell Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote (virtually or by proxy) of a majority of the votes cast by holders of Marvell Shares represented at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting (provided a quorum is present).

Purposes of the Inphi Stockholder Meeting (beginning on page 76)

At the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, Inphi stockholders will be asked:

| • |  | Proposal 1—Inphi Merger Proposal. To consider and vote on a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement;

| • |  | Proposal 2—Inphi Adjournment Proposal. To consider and vote on a proposal to adjourn the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to permit further solicitation of proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Inphi Stockholder Meeting to approve the Inphi Merger Proposal; and

##### Table of Contents

| • |  | Proposal 3—Inphi Compensation Proposal. To consider and vote on a proposal to approve a non-binding, advisory resolution on the compensation that may become payable to Inphi’s named executive officers in connection with the completion of the Mergers.

A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B. Inphi stockholders are encouraged to read the Merger Agreement in its entirety.

Inphi Record Date; Issued Shares; Shares Entitled to Vote (beginning on page 77)

The Inphi Record Date for the Inphi Stockholder Meeting is February 25, 2021. This means that an Inphi stockholder must be a holder of record of Inphi Shares at the close of business on February 25, 2021 in order to vote at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Inphi stockholders are entitled to one vote for each Inphi Share owned. At the close of business on the Inphi Record Date, there were 53,672,718 Inphi Shares issued and entitled to vote, held by approximately 24 holders of record.

Inphi Vote Required (beginning on page 77)

Pursuant to the DGCL, the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the Inphi Shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the close of business on the Inphi Record Date in person or represented by proxy at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting (provided a quorum is present) is required to approve the Inphi Merger Proposal. The Delaware Merger will not be completed and the Delaware Merger Consideration will not be paid unless the Inphi Merger Proposal is approved by holders of a majority of the Inphi Shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the close of business on the Inphi Record Date in person or represented by proxy at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting (provided a quorum is present). Because approval of the Inphi Merger Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the Inphi Shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the close of business on the Inphi Record Date, an Inphi stockholder’s abstention from voting, the failure of an Inphi stockholder who holds his or her shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee holder of record to give voting instructions to that broker, bank or other nominee holder of record or an Inphi stockholder’s other failure to vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the approval of the Inphi Merger Proposal.

The approval of the Inphi Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the Inphi stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting and entitled to vote (regardless of whether a quorum is present). The approval of the Inphi Compensation Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Inphi Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting and entitled to vote (provided a quorum is present). Accordingly, an Inphi stockholder’s abstention from voting will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” such proposals, but the failure of an Inphi stockholder who holds his or her shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee holder of record to give voting instructions to that broker, bank or other holder of record or an Inphi stockholder’s other failure to vote will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on such proposals.

Rights of Appraisal for Inphi Stockholders (beginning on page 153)

Under the DGCL, if the Delaware Merger is completed, record holders of Inphi Shares who do not vote in favor of the Inphi Merger Proposal and who otherwise properly exercise and perfect such holders’ appraisal rights will be entitled to seek appraisal for, and obtain payment in cash for the judicially determined fair value of, such holders’ Inphi Shares, in lieu of receiving the Delaware Merger Consideration. The “fair value” could be higher or lower than, or the same as, the Delaware Merger Consideration. The relevant provisions of the DGCL are included as Annex H to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Inphi stockholders are encouraged to read these

26

##### Table of Contents

provisions carefully and in their entirety. Moreover, due to the complexity of the procedures for exercising and perfecting the right to seek appraisal, Inphi stockholders who are considering exercising and perfecting that right are encouraged to seek the advice of legal counsel. Failure to comply strictly with these provisions may result in loss of the right of appraisal. For a more complete description of Inphi stockholders’ appraisal rights, see “Delaware Appraisal Rights” beginning on page 82.

Rights of Appraisal for Marvell Shareholders (beginning on page 152)

Any Marvell shareholder who does not vote in favor of the Bermuda Merger, is not satisfied that such holder has been offered fair value for such holder’s Marvell Shares and validly submits an application for appraisal may have the fair value of such holder’s shares appraised by the Bermuda Court under Section 106 of the Bermuda Companies Act. A Marvell shareholder intending to apply to the Bermuda Court for appraisal of such holder’s shares MUST file an application for appraisal with the Bermuda Court within ONE MONTH after the giving of the notice convening the Marvell Shareholder Meeting. The notice delivered with this joint proxy statement/prospectus constitutes this notice.

In any case where the value of dissenting Marvell Shares held by a dissenting shareholder who has properly exercised appraisal rights is appraised by the Bermuda Court after the completion of the Bermuda Merger to be greater than the value of the Bermuda Merger Consideration, HoldCo will be required to pay such holder an amount in cash equal to the difference between the value of the Bermuda Merger Consideration received by such holder and the fair value appraised by the Bermuda Court. This amount must be paid within one month after the Bermuda Court’s determination.

ANY MARVELL SHAREHOLDER WHO VOTES “FOR” THE BERMUDA MERGER PROPOSAL WILL HAVE NO RIGHT TO APPLY TO THE BERMUDA COURT TO APPRAISE THE FAIR VALUE OF SUCH HOLDER’S MARVELL SHARES.

There is no right of appeal from an appraisal by the Bermuda Court. The costs of any application to the Bermuda Court to appraise the fair value of the Marvell Shares will be allocated at the discretion of the Bermuda Court. For a more complete description of Marvell shareholders’ appraisal rights, see “Bermuda Appraisal Rights” beginning on page 71.

Conditions to Completion of the Merger (beginning on page 186)

The obligations of Marvell, HoldCo, Bermuda Merger Sub and Delaware Merger Sub to complete the Mergers and otherwise complete the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by Marvell, on behalf of itself, HoldCo, Bermuda Merger Sub and Delaware Merger Sub), at or prior to the completion of the Mergers, of each of the following conditions:

| • |  | the Merger Agreement has been duly adopted by the Required Inphi Stockholder Vote;

| • |  | resolve or publicly propose to take any of the foregoing actions or do any of the foregoing things.

The Merger Agreement provides, however, that prior to the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Required Inphi Stockholder Vote, under certain specified circumstances and subject to certain conditions, Inphi may furnish non-public information regarding Inphi and its subsidiaries to, and may enter into discussions or negotiations with, any person or entity in response to an unsolicited, bona fide, written Inphi Acquisition Proposal that is made to Inphi after the date of the Merger Agreement (and not withdrawn).

Under the Merger Agreement, Inphi has also agreed to promptly (and in no event later than 24 hours after receipt thereof) advise Marvell orally and in writing if Inphi, any of its subsidiaries or any of its or their representatives receives an Inphi Acquisition Proposal, an Inphi Acquisition Inquiry or any request for non-public information at any time during the period from the date of the Merger Agreement through the Delaware Merger Effective Time.

No Solicitation or Discussions by Marvell Relating to Disruptive Marvell Acquisition Proposals (beginning on page 171)

Under the Merger Agreement, subject to the exceptions described below, Marvell has agreed that it will not, and will ensure that each of its subsidiaries and its and their respective representatives do not, in each case, directly or indirectly:

| • |  | resolve or publicly propose to take any of the foregoing actions or do any of the foregoing things.

The Merger Agreement provides, however, that prior to the approval of the Marvell Merger Proposal by the Required Marvell Shareholder Vote under certain specified circumstances and subject to certain conditions, Marvell may furnish non-public information regarding Marvell and its subsidiaries to, and may enter into discussions or negotiations with, any person or entity in response to an unsolicited, bona fide, written Disruptive Marvell Acquisition Proposal that is made to Marvell after the date of the Merger Agreement (and not withdrawn).

Under the Merger Agreement, Marvell has also agreed to promptly (and in no event later than 24 hours after receipt thereof) advise Inphi orally and in writing if Marvell, any of its subsidiaries or any of its or their representatives receives a Disruptive Marvell Acquisition Proposal at any time during the period from the date of the Merger Agreement through the Delaware Merger Effective Time.

Termination of the Merger Agreement; Termination Fees (beginning on page 190)

The Merger Agreement provides Marvell and Inphi with certain termination rights and, under certain circumstances, may require Marvell or Inphi to pay a termination fee. The Merger Agreement provides that Inphi will be required to pay to Marvell, without duplication, a termination fee of $300 million if, among other things, the Merger Agreement is terminated: (a) by Marvell or Inphi because the Mergers have not been completed on or prior to the End Date and (i) at or prior to termination of the Merger Agreement, an Inphi Acquisition Proposal has been made and Inphi stockholders have not taken a final vote on the Inphi Merger Proposal and (ii) within 12 months after the date of such termination, Inphi has completed an Inphi Acquisition Transaction or has entered into a definitive agreement providing for an Inphi Acquisition Transaction; (b) by Marvell or Inphi if the Inphi stockholders have taken a final vote on the Inphi Merger Proposal and the Merger Agreement has not been

The Merger Agreement provides that Marvell will be required to pay to Inphi, without duplication, a termination fee of: (a) $400 million if, among other things, the Merger Agreement is terminated (i) by Inphi upon the occurrence of certain specified actions or events, including Marvell, the Marvell Board or any committee of the Marvell Board taking certain actions or Marvell’s breach of the Merger Agreement provisions prohibiting the solicitation of, and discussions and negotiations with respect to, a Disruptive Marvell Acquisition Proposal that result in a Disruptive Marvell Acquisition Proposal (each, a “Marvell Triggering Event,” as defined and more fully described in the section titled “The Merger Agreement—Termination of the Merger Agreement”), (ii) by Marvell or Inphi under certain provisions of the Merger Agreement at any time during the period commencing on the occurrence of a Marvell Triggering Event and ending on the earlier of (A) the tenth day after the final vote by Marvell shareholders on the Marvell Merger Proposal and (B) the approval by Marvell shareholders of the Marvell Merger Proposal or (iii) by Marvell in order to accept an offer that, in addition to meeting other criteria, is expressly conditioned on the termination of the Merger Agreement and is more favorable from a financial point of view to Marvell’s shareholders than the Mergers (a “Disruptive Marvell Superior Offer” as defined and more fully described in the section titled “The Merger Agreement—No Solicitation or Discussions by Marvell Relating to Disruptive Marvell Acquisition Proposals”) and enter into a binding, written, definitive agreement providing for the completion of the transaction contemplated by a Disruptive Marvell Superior Offer (a “Specified Marvell Acquisition Agreement,” as defined and more fully described in the section titled “The Merger Agreement—Stockholder and Shareholder Meetings; Board Recommendations—Fiduciary Exception”); and (b) $460 million if (i) the Merger Agreement is terminated by Marvell or Inphi because the Mergers have not been completed (A) on or prior to the End Date or (B) as a result of a suit or legal proceeding brought by certain specified governmental bodies under certain specified legal requirements and (ii) as of the time of termination of the Merger Agreement, the closing condition in the Merger Agreement regarding the receipt of certain specified governmental authorizations (the “Authorization Condition,” as defined and more fully described in the section titled “The Merger Agreement—Conditions to Completion of the Mergers”) or, as a result of a suit or legal proceeding brought by certain specified governmental bodies, the closing condition in the Merger Agreement regarding the absence of certain restraining orders and injunctions (the “Restraints Condition,” as defined and more fully described in the section titled “The Merger Agreement—Conditions to Completion of the Mergers”) or the closing condition in the Merger Agreement regarding the absence of pending legal proceedings brought or

overtly threatened by a governmental authority (the “Governmental Litigation Condition,” as defined and more fully described in the section titled “The Merger Agreement—Conditions to Completion of the Mergers”) is not satisfied and has not been waived and all of Marvell’s other closing conditions have been satisfied or waived.

Litigation Related to the Mergers (beginning on page 149)

Marvell, Inphi and the boards of directors of both companies currently are and may in the future become parties to various litigations related to the Merger Agreement and the Mergers, including putative shareholder class actions. Five lawsuits have been filed against Inphi and the Inphi Board in federal court: Wang v. Inphi Corp., et. al. (filed December 24, 2020, Northern District of California); Cohen v. Inphi Corp., et al. (filed January 5, 2021, Southern District of New York); Jones v. Inphi Corp., et al. (filed January 8, 2021, Eastern District of New York); Rosenfeld v. Inphi Corp., et al. (filed January 20, 2021, Northern District of California); and Kearny v. Inphi Corp., et al. (filed January 29, 2021, Northern District of California). Two additional federal complaints have been filed against Inphi, the Inphi Board and certain Marvell entities involved in the Mergers: McIntosh v. Inphi Corp., et al. (filed December 30, 2020, Southern District of New York) and Poe v. Inphi Corp., et al. (filed January 16, 2021, District of Delaware). Three lawsuits have been filed against only Marvell and the Marvell Board in federal court: Raul v. Marvell Tech. Group Ltd., et al. (filed January 8, 2021, Southern District of New York); Cardone v. Marvell Tech. Group Ltd., et al. (filed January 11, 2021, Eastern District of New York); and Shumacher v. Marvell Tech. Group, Ltd., et al. (filed January 16, 2021, District of Delaware). All ten complaints, filed as Exhibits 99.8 through 99.17 herewith, assert claims for violation of Section 14(a) and Rule 14a-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act based on allegations that the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed by HoldCo with the SEC on December 22, 2020 omits material information. The lawsuits also assert control person claims under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the Marvell Board and the Inphi Board. One of the complaints that names only Inphi and the Inphi Board asserts an additional claim for breach of fiduciary duty. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, no settlement of any litigation related to the Mergers may be agreed to by Inphi without the prior written consent of Marvell.

Among other remedies, the plaintiffs in such matters are seeking to enjoin the Mergers. The results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict, and could delay or prevent the Mergers from becoming effective in a timely manner. Moreover, the pending litigations and any future additional litigations could be time consuming and expensive, could divert Marvell’s and Inphi’s management’s attention away from their regular businesses, and, if any one of these lawsuits is adversely resolved against either Marvell or Inphi, could have a material adverse effect on Marvell’s or Inphi’s financial condition or the condition of the combined company.

If a settlement or other resolution is not reached in the potential lawsuits referenced above and the plaintiffs secure injunctive or other relief prohibiting, delaying or otherwise adversely affecting Marvell’s or Inphi’s ability to complete the Mergers on the terms contemplated by the Merger Agreement, or there is a pending or overtly threatened legal proceeding brought by a governmental entity, then the Mergers may not become effective in a timely manner or at all.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences (beginning on page 196)

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Mergers, taken together, are intended to qualify as a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). However, the completion of the Mergers is not conditioned on the Mergers qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment and is not conditioned on the receipt of opinions of counsel to that effect. Marvell has received opinions of counsel, filed as Exhibit 8.1 to the Registration Statement of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, that the transactions will qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, and accordingly, that the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers to holders of Marvell Shares and Inphi Shares are as described in the section titled “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences.” The tax opinions given in connection with the Mergers will not be binding on the IRS or any court. Neither Marvell nor Inphi has sought or will seek any ruling from the IRS as to

33

##### Table of Contents

the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers. Consequently, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the conclusions set forth below. In addition, if any of the representations or assumptions upon which such opinions are based is inconsistent with the actual facts, the tax opinions may be affected or jeopardized and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers could differ materially from those described below. Provided that the transactions qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, (i) a U.S. holder of Marvell Shares, except as provided in the section titled “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers to Holders of Marvell Shares—Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the exchange of Marvell Shares for HoldCo Shares in the Bermuda Merger; and (ii) a U.S. holder of Inphi Shares, subject to the discussions below regarding potential redemption or dividend treatment, will recognize gain, but not loss, pursuant to the exchange of Inphi Shares for a combination of HoldCo Shares and cash in the Delaware Merger equal to the lesser of: (1) the excess of (a) the sum of the fair market value of HoldCo Shares and the amount of cash received (excluding cash received in lieu of fractional HoldCo Shares) over (b) such U.S. holder’s tax basis in the Inphi Shares surrendered in exchange therefor, and (2) the amount of such cash received by such U.S. holder in the Delaware Merger.

To the extent, however, that any portion of the cash consideration received by a U.S. holder of Inphi Shares is considered to be provided by Inphi, such cash should be treated as received in a redemption by Inphi of a portion of such U.S. holder’s Inphi Shares. In such case, subject to the discussion below regarding potential dividend treatment, a U.S. holder would recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between such cash and the U.S. holder’s tax basis in the portion of such holder’s Inphi Shares treated as redeemed.

Moreover, in certain circumstances, a holder of Inphi Shares could be treated as receiving a dividend in an amount up to the amount of the cash consideration received by such holder in the Delaware Merger. As a result of the possibility of such deemed dividend treatment, a non-U.S. holder of Inphi Shares may be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of up to 30% with respect to cash consideration received in the Delaware Merger.

Please carefully review the information set forth in the section titled “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences” beginning on page 196 for a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers.

Please consult your own tax advisors as to the specific U.S. federal, state or local or non-U.S. income or other tax consequences to you of the Mergers.

Accounting Treatment (beginning on page 153)

The Delaware Merger will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), with Marvell as the accounting acquirer, using the fair value concepts defined in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, and based on the historical consolidated financial statements of Marvell and Inphi. Under ASC 805, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized and measured at their assumed acquisition date fair value, while transaction costs and restructuring costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The excess of merger consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill. Acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) is recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the assumed merger date until completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Upon completion of development, acquired IPR&D assets are considered amortizable, finite-lived assets. The Bermuda Merger will be accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control in accordance with ASC 805-50. Due to the Bermuda Merger not having any pro forma effects, pro forma information has not been provided.

Risk Factors (beginning on page 36)

In deciding how to vote your Marvell Shares or Inphi Shares, you should read carefully this entire joint proxy statement/prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference herein and the Annexes hereto, and especially consider the factors discussed in “Risk Factors.” These risk factors should be considered along with the additional risk factors contained in the periodic reports of Marvell and Inphi filed with the SEC.

Listing of HoldCo Common Shares on Nasdaq (beginning on page 149)

Under the Merger Agreement, HoldCo and Marvell have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to cause to be approved for listing (subject to official notice of issuance) on Nasdaq at or prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, under the trading symbol “MRVL,” the HoldCo Shares to be issued in connection with the Mergers and the HoldCo Shares to be reserved upon settlement or exercise of equity awards in respect of HoldCo common stock.

Delisting and Deregistration of Marvell Shares and Inphi Shares (beginning on page 149)

If the Delaware Merger is completed, Inphi Shares will be delisted from Nasdaq and will no longer be registered under the Exchange Act. If the Bermuda Merger is completed, HoldCo Shares will be substituted for Marvell Shares on Nasdaq, and Marvell Shares will no longer be registered under the Exchange Act.

Comparison of Rights (beginning on page 213)

As a result of the Mergers, the holders of Marvell Shares and Inphi Shares will become holders of HoldCo Shares and such holders’ rights will be governed by the DGCL, the HoldCo Charter and the HoldCo Bylaws. Following the completion of the Mergers, Marvell shareholders and Inphi stockholders will have different rights as stockholders of HoldCo than such shareholders and stockholders currently have as Marvell shareholders and Inphi stockholders, respectively. For a summary of the material differences between the rights of Marvell shareholders, Inphi stockholders and HoldCo stockholders (after the completion of the Mergers), see “Comparison of Rights.”

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the Marvell shareholders and Inphi stockholders should carefully consider the following risk factors in determining how to vote on the respective proposals of Marvell and Inphi. The risks associated with the business of Marvell can be found in Marvell’s Exchange Act reporting, including Marvell’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended May 2, 2020, August 1, 2020 and October 31, 2020, which are incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The risks associated with the business of Inphi can be found in Inphi’s Exchange Act reporting, including the Inphi Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, which is incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus. See “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 267.

Risks Related to the Mergers

The number of HoldCo Shares that Inphi stockholders and Marvell shareholders will receive under the Merger Agreement is based on a fixed exchange ratio. The market value of the HoldCo Shares to be issued upon completion of the Mergers is unknown, and therefore, Inphi stockholders and Marvell shareholders cannot be certain of the value of the HoldCo Shares to be issued in the Mergers.

Upon completion of the Bermuda Merger, each Marvell Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time (other than Marvell Shares held by Marvell, HoldCo, Bermuda Merger Sub or Inphi or any other subsidiary of Marvell or Inphi) will be converted into the right to receive one HoldCo Share. Upon completion of the Delaware Merger, each Inphi Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time (other than (i) Inphi Shares held by Inphi, Marvell, HoldCo, Delaware Merger Sub or any other subsidiary of Marvell or Inphi and (ii) Inphi Shares with respect to which appraisal rights are properly exercised and not withdrawn under Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive 2.323 HoldCo Shares and $66.00 in cash, without interest, plus cash in lieu of any fractional HoldCo Shares. The market values of Marvell Shares and Inphi Shares at the time of the Mergers may vary significantly from their prices on the date of the Merger Agreement, the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus or the dates of the Inphi Stockholder Meeting and the Marvell Shareholder Meeting. Because the Marvell Exchange Ratio and the Inphi Exchange Ratio will not be adjusted to reflect any changes in the market prices of Marvell Shares or Inphi Shares, the market value of the HoldCo Shares issued in the Mergers and the Marvell Shares or Inphi Shares surrendered in the Mergers may be higher or lower than the values of such shares on earlier dates. Share price changes may result from numerous factors, including changes in the respective business operations and prospects of Marvell and Inphi, changes in general market and economic conditions and regulatory considerations. Many of these factors are beyond the control of Marvell or Inphi. At the time of the Inphi Stockholder Meeting and the Marvell Shareholder Meeting, Inphi stockholders and Marvell shareholders will not know or be able to determine the value of the HoldCo Shares that such stockholders and shareholders will receive pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

The market price of HoldCo Shares after the Mergers might be affected by factors different from, or in addition to, those currently affecting the respective market prices of Marvell Shares and Inphi Shares.

The businesses of Marvell and Inphi differ and, accordingly, the results of operations of HoldCo and the market price of HoldCo Shares after completion of the Mergers may be affected by factors different from, or in addition to, those currently affecting the independent results of operations of each of Marvell and Inphi. For a discussion of the businesses of Marvell and Inphi and of factors to consider in connection with those businesses, see the documents incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus and referred to under “Where You Can Find More Information.”

Until the completion of the Mergers or the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, Marvell and Inphi are each prohibited from entering into certain transactions and taking certain actions that might otherwise be beneficial to Marvell or Inphi and their respective shareholders.

Until the Mergers are completed or the Merger Agreement is terminated, the Merger Agreement restricts Marvell and Inphi from taking specified actions without the consent of the other party, and requires Inphi to conduct its business and operations in the ordinary course in all material respects and substantially in accordance with past practices. These restrictions may prevent Marvell and Inphi from making appropriate changes to their respective businesses or pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the Mergers. See “The Merger Agreement—Interim Operations of Marvell and Inphi” for a description of the restrictive covenants applicable to Marvell and Inphi.

The Merger Agreement limits each of Marvell’s and Inphi’s ability to pursue alternative transactions, and in certain instances requires payment of a termination fee, which could deter a third party from proposing an alternative transaction.

The Merger Agreement contains provisions that, subject to certain exceptions, limit each of Marvell’s and Inphi’s ability to solicit, initiate, encourage or facilitate, or enter into discussions or negotiations with respect to, any inquiries regarding or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to an alternative transaction. In addition, under certain specified circumstances, Inphi and Marvell may be required to pay a termination fee as described in the immediately below risk factor. It is possible that these or other provisions might discourage a potential competing acquirer that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of Marvell or Inphi from considering or proposing an acquisition or might result in a potential competing acquirer proposing to pay a lower per share price to acquire Marvell or Inphi than it might otherwise have proposed to pay.

Each of Marvell and Inphi are required, under certain circumstances, to pay a termination fee, which, if paid, may materially and adversely affect such party’s financial results.

Marvell may be required, under certain circumstances in connection with a termination of the Merger Agreement, to pay Inphi a termination fee of $400 million or $460 million, which could materially and adversely affect Marvell’s financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, Inphi may be required, under certain circumstances in connection with a termination of the Merger Agreement, to pay Marvell a termination fee of $300 million, which may materially and adversely affect Inphi’s financial results.

The Mergers are subject to a number of conditions, some of which are outside of the parties’ control, and if these conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Mergers will not be completed.

The Merger Agreement contains a number of conditions that must be satisfied (or waived) prior to completion of the Mergers. Those conditions include, among other conditions:

| • |  | approval of the Inphi Merger Proposal by Inphi stockholders;

| • |  | approval of the Marvell Merger Proposal by Marvell shareholders;

| • |  | there being no binding order issued by certain governmental entities enjoining or otherwise prohibiting completion of the Mergers that remains in effect;

| • |  | there being no legal requirement enacted by certain governmental entities making the completion of the Mergers illegal that remains in effect;

| • |  | there being no pending or overtly threatened legal proceeding brought by a governmental entity seeking to restrain or prohibit the completion of the Mergers;

| • |  | receipt of certain required regulatory approvals;

37

##### Table of Contents

| • |  | approval for listing on Nasdaq of the HoldCo Shares to be issued in connection with the Mergers;

| • |  | accuracy (subject to certain materiality qualifications) of representations and warranties of the parties in the Merger Agreement;

| • |  | there being no material adverse effect on Marvell or Inphi that is continuing;

| • |  | compliance with and performance by the parties of their respective covenants in the Merger Agreement in all material respects;

| • |  | effectiveness of the Registration Statement of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus is a part; and

| • |  | other customary closing conditions.

The required satisfaction or waiver of the foregoing conditions could delay the completion of the Mergers for a significant period of time or prevent it from occurring at all. Any delay in completing the Mergers could cause the parties not to realize some or all of the benefits that the parties expect to achieve following the completion of the Mergers. Further, there can be no assurance that the conditions to the completion of the Mergers will be satisfied or waived or that the Mergers will be completed.

In addition, if the Mergers are not completed by 11:59 p.m. California time on the End Date, either Marvell or Inphi may choose to terminate the Merger Agreement. Marvell or Inphi may also elect to terminate the Merger Agreement in certain other circumstances, or they may mutually decide to terminate the Merger Agreement at any time prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, before or after obtaining shareholder approval. See “The Merger Agreement—Termination of the Merger Agreement” and “The Merger Agreement—Transaction Expenses and Termination Fees” for a more detailed description of these circumstances.

The Mergers are subject to the expiration of applicable waiting periods under, and the receipt of approvals, consents or clearances from, certain domestic and foreign regulatory authorities. These approvals, consents or clearances may impose conditions that could have an adverse effect on Marvell, Inphi or HoldCo or prevent completion of the Mergers.

In deciding whether to grant a required regulatory approval, consent or clearance, each relevant governmental authority may consider the effect of the Mergers on competition within its jurisdiction. The terms and conditions of the approvals, consents and clearances that are granted may impose requirements, limitations or costs or place restrictions on the conduct of HoldCo’s business which may adversely affect the financial position and prospects of HoldCo and its ability to achieve the cost savings and other synergies projected to result from the Mergers.

In addition, neither Marvell nor Inphi can provide assurance that any conditions, terms, obligations or restrictions imposed or sought to be imposed by governmental authorities will not result in the delay or abandonment of the Mergers. For a more detailed description of the regulatory review process, see the sections titled “The Mergers—Regulatory Approvals Required for the Mergers,” “The Merger Agreement—Efforts to Complete the Mergers” and “The Merger Agreement—Conditions to Completion of the Mergers.”

The COVID-19 pandemic may delay or prevent the completion of the Mergers.

Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the COVID-19 crisis, it is difficult to predict the impact of that crisis on the businesses of Marvell and Inphi, and there is no guarantee that efforts by Marvell or Inphi to address the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will be effective. If either Marvell or Inphi is unable to recover from a business disruption on a timely basis, HoldCo’s business and financial condition and results of operations following the completion of the Mergers could be adversely affected. The Mergers may also be delayed or adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, or become more costly due to Marvell policies, Inphi policies or government policies and actions to protect the health and safety of individuals, or government policies or actions to maintain the functioning of national or global economies and markets could delay or prevent the completion of the Mergers. Marvell or Inphi may also incur additional costs to remedy damages caused by such disruptions, which could adversely affect its financial condition or results of operations.

##### Table of Contents

Any delay in completing the Mergers may significantly reduce the benefits expected to be obtained from the Mergers.

In addition to the required regulatory clearances and approvals, the Mergers are subject to a number of other conditions that are beyond the control of Marvell and Inphi. The failure to satisfy these other conditions may prevent, delay or otherwise adversely affect completion of the Mergers. Marvell and Inphi cannot predict whether and when these other conditions will be satisfied. Further, the requirements for obtaining the required regulatory clearances and approvals could delay the completion of the Mergers for a significant period of time or prevent it from occurring. Any delay in completing the Mergers may significantly reduce the synergies projected to result from the Mergers and other benefits that Marvell and Inphi expect to achieve if they complete the Mergers within the expected timeframe and integrate their respective businesses.

The business relationships of Marvell and Inphi and their respective subsidiaries may be subject to disruption due to uncertainty associated with the Mergers, which could have an adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows and financial position of Marvell, Inphi and, following the completion of the Mergers, HoldCo.

Parties with which Marvell and Inphi do business may experience uncertainty associated with the Mergers, including with respect to current or future business relationships with Marvell, Inphi or HoldCo. Marvell’s and Inphi’s relationships may be subject to disruption as customers, suppliers and other persons with whom Marvell and Inphi have business relationships may delay or defer certain business decisions or might decide to seek to terminate, change or renegotiate their relationships with Marvell or Inphi, as applicable, or consider entering into business relationships with parties other than Marvell, Inphi or HoldCo. These disruptions could have an adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows and financial position of Marvell, Inphi and, following the completion of the Mergers, HoldCo, including an adverse effect on HoldCo’s ability to realize the expected synergies and other benefits of the Mergers. The risk, and adverse effect, of any disruption could be exacerbated by a delay in completion of the Mergers or termination of the Merger Agreement.

Executive officers and directors of Marvell and Inphi may have interests in the Mergers that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Marvell shareholders and Inphi stockholders, respectively.

Certain executive officers of Marvell and Inphi negotiated the terms of the Merger Agreement, and the Marvell Board and the Inphi Board each approved the Merger Agreement and recommended that the Marvell shareholders and the Inphi stockholders, respectively, vote in favor of the proposals included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. These executive officers and directors may have interests in the Mergers that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of Marvell shareholders and Inphi stockholders, respectively. The interests of Marvell’s executive officers and directors include, among other things, the fact that Marvell’s executive officers will be the executive officers of HoldCo, the fact that Marvell’s directors will serve as directors on the HoldCo Board, and the fact that Marvell’s executive officers and directors will be provided continued indemnification and insurance coverage. The interests of Inphi’s executive officers and directors include, among other things, potential payments and benefits under change in control severance agreements, rights to acceleration of vesting and exercisability of options, acceleration of vesting of restricted stock units as a result of the Mergers and rights to ongoing indemnification and insurance coverage for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Mergers. In addition, under the Merger Agreement, Inphi’s Chief Executive Officer will be appointed to the HoldCo Board as of the Delaware Merger Effective Time. See “The Mergers—Interests of Marvell Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers” and “The Mergers—Interests of Inphi Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers” for more information.

As a result of these interests, the executive officers and directors of Marvell and Inphi might be more likely to support and to vote in favor of the proposals described in this joint proxy statement/prospectus than if they did not have these interests. Each of Marvell’s shareholders and Inphi’s stockholders should consider whether these interests might have influenced these executive officers and directors to support or recommend voting for the proposals related to the Mergers.

There can be no assurance that HoldCo will be able to secure the funds necessary to pay the cash portion of the merger consideration to be paid to Inphi stockholders in the Delaware Merger and refinance certain existing indebtedness on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all.

Marvell and HoldCo intend to fund the cash portion of the consideration for the Mergers with borrowings. To this end, Marvell and HoldCo have entered into the Bridge Commitment Letter containing commitments for a $2.5 billion senior 364-day Bridge Facility and the Term Loan Agreement containing commitments for a $1.75 billion senior unsecured Term Loan Facility (which commitments under the Term Loan Agreement replace the Term Loan Facility commitments under the Facilities Commitment Letter). There can be no assurance that Marvell or HoldCo will be able to obtain the Debt Financing pursuant to the Bridge Commitment Letter or the Term Loan Agreement, as applicable.

In the event that the Debt Financing contemplated by the Bridge Commitment Letter or the Term Loan Agreement, as applicable, is not available, other financing may not be available on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all. If Marvell or HoldCo is unable to obtain debt financing, the Mergers may be delayed or not be completed.

Failure to complete the Mergers could negatively impact the share price and the future business and financial results of Marvell and Inphi.

If the Mergers are not completed for any reason, the ongoing businesses of Marvell and Inphi may be adversely affected and, without realizing any of the benefits of having completed the Mergers, Marvell and Inphi would be subject to a number of risks, including the following:

| • |  | Marvell and Inphi may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including negative impacts on their respective share prices;

| • |  | Marvell and Inphi may experience negative reactions from their respective customers, strategic partners, suppliers, licensees, other business partners, regulators and employees;

| • |  | there may be disruptions to Marvell’s and Inphi’s respective businesses resulting from the announcement and pendency of the Mergers, and any adverse changes in their relationships with their respective customers, strategic partners, suppliers, licensees, other business partners and employees may continue or intensify;

| • |  | Marvell and Inphi will be required to pay certain costs relating to the Mergers whether or not the Mergers are completed;

| • |  | Marvell and Inphi may not have been able to take advantage of alternative business opportunities or effectively respond to competitive pressures; and

| • |  | Marvell and Inphi will have committed substantial time and resources to matters relating to the Mergers (including integration planning) which would otherwise have been devoted to day-to-day operations and other opportunities that may have been beneficial to either Marvell or Inphi as an independent company.

If the Mergers are not completed, these risks may materialize and may adversely affect Marvell’s and Inphi’s respective businesses, financial condition, financial results and share prices.

Litigation filed against Marvell and Inphi could prevent or delay the completion of the Mergers or result in the payment of damages following completion of the Mergers.

Marvell, Inphi and members of their respective boards of directors are parties to various litigations related to the Merger Agreement and the Mergers, including putative shareholder class actions. Among other remedies, the

40

##### Table of Contents

plaintiffs in such matters are seeking to enjoin the Mergers. The results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict, and could delay or prevent the Mergers from being completed in a timely manner. Moreover, litigation could be time consuming and expensive, could divert the attention of Marvell’s and Inphi’s management away from their regular businesses, and, if adversely resolved against either Marvell or Inphi, could have a material adverse effect on Marvell’s or Inphi’s respective financial condition or the condition of the combined company.

Even if the Bermuda Merger qualifies as a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code or as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, a U.S. holder of Marvell Shares may still recognize gain as a result of the Bermuda Merger if Marvell is or was classified as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. holder held Marvell Shares.

Even if the Bermuda Merger qualifies as a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code or as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, if Marvell was a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for any taxable year during which a U.S. holder of Marvell Shares owned such holder’s Marvell Shares, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences, including recognition of gain, could apply to such U.S. holder as a result of the Bermuda Merger, unless certain exceptions apply. Based on the nature of Marvell’s business, the projected composition of its income and the projected composition and estimated fair market values of its assets, Marvell does not believe it was a PFIC for its taxable year ending on December 31, 2019 and does not expect to be a PFIC for its taxable year ending on December 31, 2020 or the succeeding taxable year. However, because PFIC status depends on the composition of a company’s income and assets and the fair market value of its assets, no assurance can be given that Marvell was not previously a PFIC and will not be a PFIC for its taxable year ending December 31, 2020 or any subsequent taxable year. U.S. holders of Marvell Shares should consult such holders’ tax advisors regarding the possible classification of Marvell as a PFIC and the resulting U.S. federal income tax considerations. See the section titled “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers to Holders of Marvell Shares—Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules”.

Non-U.S. holders may be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of up to 30% with respect to cash consideration received in the Delaware Merger.

As discussed in the sections titled “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers to Holders of Inphi Shares” beginning on page 198 and “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers to Holders of Inphi Shares—Potential Application of Section 304 of the Code” beginning on page 199, in certain circumstances, a holder of Inphi Shares could be treated as receiving a dividend in an amount up to the amount of the cash consideration received by such holder in the Delaware Merger (excluding cash received in lieu of fractional HoldCo Shares). As a result of the possibility of such deemed dividend treatment, a non-U.S. holder of Inphi Shares may be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of up to 30% with respect to such cash consideration received in the Delaware Merger.

Risks Related to the Combined Company

HoldCo may fail to realize the benefits expected from the Mergers, which could adversely affect HoldCo’s share price.

The anticipated benefits HoldCo expects from the Mergers are, necessarily, based on projections and assumptions about the combined businesses of Marvell and Inphi, which may not materialize as expected or which may prove to be inaccurate. The value of HoldCo Shares following the completion of the Mergers could be adversely affected if HoldCo is unable to realize the anticipated benefits from the Mergers on a timely basis or at all. Achieving the benefits of the Mergers will depend, in part, on the successful and efficient integration of the

41

##### Table of Contents

operations of Inphi and Marvell. The challenges involved in this integration, which will be complex and time-consuming, include the following:

| • |  | difficulties entering new markets or manufacturing in new geographies where Marvell or Inphi have no or limited direct prior experience;

| • |  | successfully managing relationships with Marvell and Inphi’s combined supplier and customer base;

| • |  | coordinating and integrating independent research and development and engineering teams across technologies and product platforms to enhance product development while reducing costs;

| • |  | coordinating sales and marketing efforts to effectively position HoldCo’s capabilities and the direction of product development;

| • |  | combining product offerings and product lines and developing interoperability between the products of Marvell and Inphi;

| • |  | possible limitations or restrictions required by regulatory authorities on the ability of management of Marvell and of Inphi to conduct planning regarding the integration of the two companies;

| • |  | difficulties in integrating the systems and process of two companies with complex operations;

| • |  | the scale and complexity of HoldCo’s operations resulting from the Mergers;

| • |  | retaining key employees of Marvell and Inphi;

| • |  | obligations that HoldCo will have to counterparties of Marvell and Inphi that arise as a result of the change in control of Marvell and Inphi; and

| • |  | the diversion of management attention from other important business objectives.

If HoldCo does not successfully manage these issues and the other challenges inherent in integrating businesses of the size and complexity of Marvell and Inphi, then HoldCo may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the Mergers on a timely basis or at all and HoldCo’s revenue, expenses, operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

HoldCo may be unable to realize anticipated cost synergies and expects to incur substantial expenses related to the Mergers, which could have a material adverse effect on HoldCo’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Mergers are expected to generate annual run-rate synergies of $125 million to be realized within 18 months after completion of the Mergers and the Mergers are expected to become accretive to HoldCo’s non-GAAP earnings per share by the end of the first year after completion of the Mergers. The $125 million of run-rate synergies include annual operating cost synergies and exclude potential tax, capital expenditures, working capital and stock based compensation synergies. HoldCo expects to incur substantial non-recurring costs associated with combining the operations of the two companies and achieving the desired cost synergies. Marvell estimates the pre-tax costs to achieve the anticipated synergies from the Mergers to be $63 million in the first 18-months and no material costs in the fiscal periods thereafter, excluding stock-based compensation. These estimated costs will offset a portion of such cost synergies. HoldCo’s ability to achieve such estimated cost synergies in the timeframe described, or at all, is subject to various assumptions, which may or may not prove to be accurate. As a consequence, HoldCo may not be able to realize all of these cost synergies within the timeframe expected or at all. In addition, HoldCo may incur additional or unexpected costs in order to realize these cost synergies. Failure to achieve the expected cost synergies could significantly reduce the expected benefits associated with the Mergers.

In addition, Marvell and Inphi have incurred and will continue to incur substantial expenses in connection with the completion of the Mergers, including the fees and expenses of preparing and filing the Form S-4 Registration Statement that contains this joint proxy statement/prospectus with the SEC. These fees and expenses have been, and will continue to be, substantial. Marvell estimates transaction fees and expenses of $200 million to be incurred by the parties in connection with the completion of the Mergers, including, among others, fees paid to financial, legal and accounting advisors, employee benefit costs and filing fees.

42

##### Table of Contents

The costs described above, as well as other unanticipated costs and expenses, could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and operating results of HoldCo following the completion of the Mergers and many of these costs will be borne by Marvell and Inphi even if the Mergers are not completed.

HoldCo may face risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic which could significantly disrupt and adversely impact HoldCo’s manufacturing, research and development, operations, sales and financial results.

Marvell’s and Inphi’s businesses have been, and HoldCo’s business may be, adversely impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Following the completion of the Mergers, HoldCo’s third-party manufacturers, suppliers, third-party distributors, sub-contractors and customers are expected to be disrupted by worker absenteeism, quarantines and restrictions on their employees’ ability to work; office and factory closures; disruptions to ports and other shipping infrastructure; border closures; and other travel or health-related restrictions. Depending on the magnitude of such effects on HoldCo’s manufacturing, assembling and testing activities or the operations of HoldCo’s suppliers, third-party distributors or sub-contractors, HoldCo’s supply chain, manufacturing and product shipments may be delayed, which could adversely affect HoldCo’s business, operations and customer relationships.

In addition to operational and customer impacts, the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, a significant impact on (including an economic downturn in) the economies and financial markets of many countries, which may adversely affect demand for HoldCo’s products and adversely impact HoldCo’s operating results in both the near and long term. There can be no assurance that any decreases in sales resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic will be offset by increased sales in subsequent periods.

HoldCo may experience disruptions to its business operations resulting from work from home, quarantines, self-isolations and restrictions on the ability of HoldCo’s employees to perform their jobs, innovate, work together in teams and collaborate, and such disruptions could impact HoldCo’s ability to develop and design its products in a timely manner or meet required milestones or customer commitments. These disruptions may also impact HoldCo’s ability to win in time sensitive competitive bidding selection processes. In addition, work from home, quarantines, self-isolations, home schooling, continuing macroeconomic related uncertainty or caring for family members may result in heavy psychological, emotional or financial burdens for some of HoldCo’s employees, which may impact their productivity and morale and may lead to higher employee absences and higher attrition rates. HoldCo may also become subject to claims or lawsuits by employees, customers, suppliers or other parties regarding actions HoldCo may take in its operations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Due to uncertainty regarding the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and related public health measures and macroeconomic impacts, at this time Marvell and Inphi are unable to predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on HoldCo’s business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. In addition, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic will be exacerbated the longer the pandemic continues.

Marvell shareholders and Inphi stockholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after completion of the Mergers and will exercise less influence over management.

Marvell shareholders currently have the right to vote on the election of the Marvell Board and on other matters affecting Marvell. Similarly, Inphi stockholders currently have the right to vote on the election of the Inphi and on other matters affecting Inphi. Immediately following the Mergers, we anticipate that Marvell shareholders will own approximately 83% of HoldCo’s issued and outstanding common stock, and Inphi stockholders will own approximately 17% of HoldCo’s issued and outstanding common stock, each on a fully diluted basis. As a result, current Marvell shareholders and current Inphi stockholders will have less influence on the management and policies of HoldCo than shareholders and stockholders now have on the management and policies of Marvell and Inphi, respectively.

##### Table of Contents

Uncertainties associated with the Mergers may cause a loss of employees and may otherwise materially and adversely affect the future business and operations of HoldCo.

HoldCo’s success after the Mergers will depend in part upon the ability of HoldCo to retain executive officers and key employees of Marvell and Inphi. In some of the fields in which Marvell and Inphi operate, there are only a limited number of people in the job market who possess the requisite skills and it may be increasingly difficult for HoldCo to hire qualified personnel over time. HoldCo will operate in several geographic locations where the labor markets, especially for engineers, are particularly competitive. Each of Marvell and Inphi has experienced difficulty in hiring and retaining sufficient numbers of qualified management, technical, application engineering, marketing, sales and support personnel in parts of their respective businesses.

Current and prospective employees of Marvell and Inphi may experience uncertainty about their roles with HoldCo following the Mergers. In addition, key employees may depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty, actual or potential changes in compensation, titles or responsibilities, and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with HoldCo following the Mergers. The loss of services of any key personnel or the inability to hire new personnel with the requisite skills could restrict the ability of HoldCo to develop new products or enhance existing products in a timely manner, to sell products to customers or to manage HoldCo’s business effectively. Also, the business, financial condition and results of operations of HoldCo could be materially and adversely affected by the loss of any of its key employees, by the failure of any key employee to perform in his or her current position, or by HoldCo’s inability to attract and retain skilled employees, particularly engineers.

Third parties may claim that HoldCo is infringing such third parties’ intellectual property, and HoldCo could suffer significant litigation or licensing expenses or be prevented from selling its products or services.

The semiconductor industry is characterized by uncertain and conflicting intellectual property claims and vigorous protection and pursuit of intellectual property rights. Each of Marvell and Inphi is frequently involved in disputes regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. Each of Marvell and Inphi has in the past received, and HoldCo may in the future receive, communications from third parties asserting that certain of its products, processes or technologies infringe upon such third parties’ patent rights, copyrights, trademark rights or other intellectual property rights. Defending these claims may be costly and time consuming, and may divert the attention of management and key personnel from other business issues. The complexity of the technology involved and the uncertainty of intellectual property litigation increase these risks. Claims of intellectual property infringement also might require HoldCo to enter into costly royalty or license agreements. HoldCo may be unable to obtain royalty or license agreements on acceptable terms, or at all. Similarly, changing its products or processes to avoid infringing the rights of others may be costly or impractical. HoldCo may also be subject to significant damages or injunctions against development and sale of certain of its products and services. Resolution of such disputes could have a material adverse effect on HoldCo’s results of operations or financial condition and may require material changes in production processes and products.

HoldCo may not be able to adequately protect or enforce its intellectual property rights, which could harm its competitive position.

HoldCo’s success and future revenue growth will depend, in part, on its ability to protect its intellectual property. HoldCo will primarily rely on patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as non-disclosure agreements and other methods, to protect its proprietary technologies and processes. It is possible that competitors or other unauthorized third parties may obtain, copy, use or disclose, illegally or otherwise, HoldCo’s proprietary technologies and processes, despite efforts by HoldCo to protect its proprietary technologies and processes. While HoldCo’s subsidiaries will hold a significant number of patents, there can be no assurances that any additional patents will be issued. Even if new patents are issued, the claims allowed may not be sufficiently broad to protect HoldCo’s technology. In addition, any of Marvell’s or Inphi’s existing patents, and any future patents issued to HoldCo, may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, either in

44

##### Table of Contents

connection with the Mergers or otherwise. As such, any rights granted under these patents may not provide HoldCo with meaningful protection. Marvell and Inphi may not have, and in the future HoldCo may not have, foreign patents or pending applications corresponding to its U.S. patents and applications. Even if foreign patents are granted, effective enforcement in foreign countries may not be available. If HoldCo’s patents do not adequately protect its technology, competitors may be able to offer products similar to HoldCo’s products. HoldCo’s competitors may also be able to develop similar technology independently or design around its patents.

The Mergers could have an adverse effect on the Marvell and Inphi brands.

The success of Marvell and Inphi is largely dependent upon the ability of Marvell and Inphi to maintain and enhance the value of their respective brands, their customers’ connection to and perception of the brands, and a positive relationship with customers and suppliers. Brand value, and as a result the businesses and results of operations of Marvell and Inphi, could be damaged if the Mergers receive negative publicity or if customers or suppliers otherwise come to have a diminished view of the brands as a result of the Mergers or the common ownership of the existing businesses.

The incurrence of substantial indebtedness in connection with the financing of the Mergers may have an adverse impact on HoldCo’s liquidity, limit HoldCo’s flexibility in responding to other business opportunities and increase HoldCo’s vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions.

We expect to incur a significant amount of indebtedness in connection with the financing of the Mergers, which we expect will be funded using borrowings. We expect the proceeds from the Debt Financing to be used to pay the cash portion of the consideration for the Mergers and, along with cash on hand, to pay other fees and expenses required to be paid in connection with the Mergers. The use of indebtedness to finance the Mergers will reduce HoldCo’s liquidity and could cause HoldCo to place more reliance on cash generated from operations to pay principal and interest on Marvell’s debt, thereby reducing the availability of HoldCo’s cash flow for working capital, dividend and capital expenditure needs or to pursue other potential strategic plans. Marvell expects that the agreements it will enter into with respect to the indebtedness it will incur to finance the Mergers will contain, and the Term Loan Agreement contains, negative covenants, that, subject to certain exceptions, will include (or includes in the case of the Term Loan Agreement) limitations on indebtedness, liens, sale and leaseback transactions and mergers and other fundamental changes. Marvell’s ability to comply with these negative covenants can be affected by events beyond its control. The indebtedness and these negative covenants will also have the effect, among other things, of limiting HoldCo’s ability to obtain additional financing, if needed, limiting its flexibility in the conduct of its business and making HoldCo more vulnerable to economic downturns and adverse competitive and industry conditions. In addition, a breach of the negative covenants could result in an event of default with respect to the indebtedness, which, if not cured or waived, could result in the indebtedness becoming immediately due and payable and could have a material adverse effect on HoldCo’s business, financial condition or operating results.

Following completion of the Mergers, the credit rating of Marvell and/or Inphi could be downgraded and/or HoldCo may fail to obtain an investment grade rating, which may increase borrowing costs.

By reason of the debt incurred to finance the cash portion of the consideration for the Mergers, HoldCo will have a considerably higher level of indebtedness than Marvell and Inphi currently have in the aggregate, and there can be no assurance that the credit ratings of the existing Marvell debt or the existing Inphi debt will not be subject to a downgrade below investment grade. If a ratings downgrade were to occur or if HoldCo fails to obtain an investment grade rating, HoldCo could experience higher borrowing costs in the future and more restrictive debt covenants, which would reduce profitability and diminish operational flexibility.

Because of higher debt levels, HoldCo may not be able to service its debt obligations in accordance with their terms after the completion of the Mergers.

HoldCo’s ability to meet its expense and debt service obligations contained in the agreements HoldCo expects to enter into with respect to the indebtedness HoldCo will incur to finance the Mergers will depend on HoldCo’s

45

##### Table of Contents

available cash and its future performance, which will be affected by financial, business, economic and other factors, including potential changes in laws or regulations, industry conditions, industry supply and demand balance, customer preferences, the success of HoldCo’s products and pressure from competitors. If HoldCo is unable to meet its debt service obligations after the Mergers or should HoldCo fail to comply with its financial and other negative covenants contained in the agreements governing its indebtedness, HoldCo may be required to refinance all or part of its debt, sell important strategic assets at unfavorable prices, incur additional indebtedness or issue common stock or other equity securities. HoldCo may not be able to, at any given time, refinance its debt, sell assets, incur additional indebtedness or issue equity securities on terms acceptable to HoldCo, in amounts sufficient to meet HoldCo’s needs. If HoldCo is able to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, such issuance would also result in dilution to HoldCo stockholders. HoldCo’s inability to service its debt obligations or refinance its debt could have a material and adverse effect on its business, financial condition or operating results after the Mergers. In addition, HoldCo’s debt obligations may limit its ability to make required investments in capacity, technology or other areas of its business, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or operating results.

The Mergers may result in significant charges or other liabilities, including taxes, that could adversely affect the financial results of HoldCo.

The financial results of HoldCo may be adversely affected by cash expenses and non-cash accounting charges incurred in connection with the integration of the business and operations of Marvell and Inphi. The amount and timing of these possible charges are not yet known. Further, failure to identify or accurately assess the magnitude of certain liabilities could result in unexpected litigation or regulatory exposure, unfavorable accounting charges, unexpected increases in taxes due, a loss of anticipated tax benefits or other adverse effects on HoldCo’s business, operating results or financial condition. The price of HoldCo Shares following the Mergers could decline to the extent HoldCo’s financial results are materially affected by any of these events.

HoldCo’s actual financial position and results of operations may differ materially from the unaudited pro forma financial data included herein.

The unaudited pro forma financial data included herein are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what HoldCo’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the Mergers been completed on the dates indicated. These data reflect adjustments, which are based upon preliminary estimates, to allocate the purchase price to Inphi’s net assets. The purchase price allocation reflected in this joint proxy statement/prospectus is preliminary, and final allocation of the purchase price will be based upon the actual purchase price and the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Inphi as of the closing date of the Mergers. In addition, subsequent to the closing date of the Mergers, there may be further refinements of the purchase price allocation as additional information becomes available.

Accordingly, the accounting adjustments might differ materially from the transaction related adjustments reflected herein. See “Selected Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Data” for more information.

HoldCo has no operating or financial history and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus are preliminary. Therefore, the actual financial condition and results of operations of HoldCo after the Mergers may differ materially.

HoldCo has been recently incorporated in connection with the Mergers and has no operating history or revenues. This joint proxy statement/prospectus includes certain unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for HoldCo, which should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes that are incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have been realized if the Mergers and the Debt Financing

had been completed on the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects adjustments that were developed using preliminary estimates based on available information and various assumptions, and may be revised as additional information becomes available. In addition, the unaudited pro forma financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company, and the final acquisition accounting adjustments may differ materially from the transaction related adjustments reflected in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Accordingly, HoldCo’s business, assets, results of operations and financial condition may differ significantly from those indicated by the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. For more information, see “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

The unaudited prospective financial information of Marvell and Inphi included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus involves risks, uncertainties and assumptions, many of which are beyond the control of Marvell and Inphi. As a result, it may not prove to be accurate and is not necessarily indicative of current values or future performance.

The unaudited prospective financial information of Marvell and Inphi referred to in “The Mergers—Opinion of Marvell’s Financial Advisor, J.P. Morgan” and “The Mergers—Opinion of Inphi’s Financial Advisor, Qatalyst Partners,” and contained in “The Mergers—Unaudited Prospective Financial Information,” involves risks, uncertainties and assumptions and is not a guarantee of future performance. While the unaudited prospective financial information utilized by Marvell, Inphi and their respective advisors in connection with the Mergers and summarized in this joint proxy statement/statement were prepared in good faith based on information available at the time of preparation, no assurances can be made regarding future events or that the assumptions made in preparing such unaudited prospective financial information will accurately reflect future conditions. In preparing such unaudited prospective financial information, Marvell’s management and Inphi’s management made assumptions regarding, among other things, future economic, competitive, regulatory and financial market conditions and future business decisions that may not be realized and that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, including, among others, risks and uncertainties described or incorporated by reference in this section and the section titled “Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements,” all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of Marvell and Inphi and will be beyond the control of the combined company. There can be no assurance that the underlying assumptions or projected results in the unaudited prospective financial information will be realized, and actual results will likely differ, and may differ materially, from those reflected in the unaudited prospective financial information. The unaudited prospective financial information was not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or compliance with published guidelines of the SEC or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information or GAAP and does not reflect the effect of any proposed or other changes in GAAP that may be made in the future.

HoldCo Shares to be received by Marvell shareholders in the Bermuda Merger and Inphi stockholders in the Delaware Merger will have rights different from the Marvell Shares and Inphi Shares, respectively.

Upon completion of the Mergers, Marvell shareholders and Inphi stockholders will no longer be holders of Marvell Shares or Inphi Shares, as applicable, but will instead be stockholders of HoldCo. The rights of former Marvell shareholders and former Inphi stockholders who become HoldCo stockholders will be governed by the HoldCo Charter and the HoldCo Bylaws, each of which will be adopted as of the Bermuda Merger Effective Time in substantially the forms attached as Annex F and Annex G, respectively. The rights associated with HoldCo Shares are different from the rights associated with Marvell Shares or Inphi Shares. See “Comparison of Rights.”

Risks Related to the Change in Jurisdiction for Marvell Shareholders

Currently, the rights of Marvell shareholders arise under Bermuda law, the Marvell Memorandum of Association and the Marvell Bye-Laws. Upon completion of the Bermuda Merger, the rights of former Marvell shareholders, as HoldCo stockholders, will arise under U.S. federal law, Delaware law, the HoldCo Charter and the HoldCo Bylaws.

Currently, the rights of Marvell shareholders arise under Bermuda law, the Marvell Memorandum of Association and the Marvell Bye-Laws. Upon completion of the Mergers, Marvell will become a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo, a Delaware corporation, and former Marvell shareholders will become HoldCo stockholders. The rights of former Marvell shareholders who become HoldCo stockholders will be governed by the HoldCo Charter and the HoldCo Bylaws, each of which will be adopted as of the Bermuda Merger Effective Time in substantially the forms attached as Annex F and Annex G, respectively, as well as U.S. federal law and Delaware law. As a result, some of the rights of HoldCo shareholders could differ from the rights Marvell shareholders currently possess. Also, while class actions are generally not available to shareholders under Bermuda law, such actions are generally available under Delaware law. Thus, HoldCo may be subject to more shareholder litigation than Marvell and costly litigation could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of HoldCo. For a more detailed description of your rights as a stockholder of HoldCo and how they may differ from your rights as a shareholder of Marvell, please see “Comparison of Rights” in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The HoldCo Charter provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for any internal corporate claims, which could limit its stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with HoldCo or its directors, officers, employees or stockholders.

The HoldCo Charter provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for any complaint asserting any internal corporate claims, including claims in the right of HoldCo that are based upon a violation of a duty by a current or former director, officer, employee or stockholder in such capacity, or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction upon the Court of Chancery. The federal district courts of the United States, to the fullest extent permitted by law, will be the exclusive forum for any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act. The exclusive forum provision does not apply to actions arising under the Exchange Act. Since Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, a state court may permit a defendant to pursue an action arising under the Securities Act in state court. While the Delaware Supreme Court has recently upheld provisions of the certificates of incorporation of other Delaware corporations that are similar to the exclusive forum provision in the HoldCo Charter, a court of a state other than the State of Delaware could decide that such provisions are not enforceable under the laws of that state. The provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with HoldCo or its directors, officers, employees or stockholders, which may discourage such lawsuits against HoldCo and its directors, officers, employees or stockholders. Alternatively, if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in the HoldCo Charter to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, HoldCo may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

As a Delaware corporation, HoldCo’s corporate effective tax rate may be significantly higher than Marvell’s effective tax rate as a Bermuda domiciled company.

Upon completion of the Bermuda Merger, Marvell will become a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo, a Delaware corporation. As a result, the group will be subject to U.S. tax on its income, and HoldCo’s corporate effective tax rate may increase significantly from Marvell’s corporate effective tax rate as a Bermuda domiciled company, which could materially impact HoldCo’s financial results, including its earnings and cash flow, for periods after the completion of the Mergers. Marvell’s current corporate effective tax rate fluctuates significantly

48

##### Table of Contents

from period to period, and is based upon, among other things, the application of currently applicable income tax laws, regulations and treaties, as well as current judicial and administrative interpretations of these income tax laws, regulations and treaties, in various jurisdictions.

The highest statutory corporate tax rate for U.S. federal income tax purposes is 21%. HoldCo’s effective tax rate for purposes of financial reporting may, however, vary significantly from the federal statutory rate after the Mergers because of, among other things, permanent differences in the recognition of income and expense for U.S. GAAP and tax purposes, differences in how each jurisdiction in which Marvell operates treats certain items of income or expense, as well as any changes in valuation allowances. Marvell is unable to predict the impact of the Mergers on HoldCo’s effective tax rate for future periods. In addition, the tax laws of the United States and other jurisdictions could change in the future, and those changes could cause a material increase in HoldCo’s effective tax rates in future periods.

Risks Related to Marvell’s Business

You should read and consider risk factors specific to Marvell’s business that will also affect HoldCo after the completion of the Mergers. These risks are described in Marvell’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended May 2, 2020, August 1, 2020 and October 31, 2020, and in other documents that are incorporated by reference into this document.

Dividend Information

Holders of Marvell Shares are entitled to receive dividends when they are declared by the Marvell Board. Marvell declared its first quarterly cash dividend in May 2012. Marvell most recently paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per Marvell Share on October 28, 2020. On December 2, 2020, Marvell announced that the Marvell Board had declared the payment of its quarterly dividend of $0.06 per share to be paid on January 14, 2021 to all Marvell shareholders of record as of December 23, 2020. The Merger Agreement permits Marvell to continue to pay quarterly cash dividends at any time during each fiscal quarter in an amount not to exceed $0.06 per share. Future payment of a quarterly cash dividend on Marvell Shares will be subject to, among other things, the best interests of Marvell and its shareholders, Marvell’s results of operations, cash balances and future cash requirements, financial condition, developments in ongoing litigation, statutory requirements under Bermuda law, market conditions and other factors that the Marvell Board may deem relevant. The amount and timing of Marvell’s dividend payments may change from time to time, and Marvell cannot provide assurance that it will continue to declare dividends at all or in any particular amounts.

Inphi has never declared or paid any cash dividends on Inphi Shares and does not currently intend to do so for the foreseeable future. Inphi currently intends to invest its future earnings, if any, to fund its growth. The success of an investment in Inphi Shares will depend upon any future appreciation in their value. The Merger Agreement prohibits Inphi from declaring or paying any dividends.

(1) | On December 12, 2016, Inphi completed the acquisition of ClariPhy Communications Inc. (ClariPhy) for $303.7 million in cash. The results of operations of ClariPhy and estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were included in consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date. The acquisition resulted in a significant change in consolidated statement of income (loss) in 2020, 2019, 2018 and 2017 which includes:

| (i) | charge to cost of goods sold resulting from the step-up inventory acquired from ClariPhy; and

| (ii) | charge to cost of goods sold and operating expenses from amortization of acquired intangibles.

(2) | On January 10, 2020 and May 18, 2020, Inphi completed the acquisition of eSilicon Corporation (eSilicon) for $214.6 million and Arrive Technologies Inc. (Arrive) for $20.1 million. The results of operations of eSilicon and Arrive and estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were included in consolidated financial statements from the acquisition dates. The acquisitions resulted in a significant change in consolidated statement of income (loss) in 2020 which includes:

| (i) | charge to cost of goods sold resulting from the step-up inventory acquired from eSilicon; and

| (ii) | charge to cost of goods sold and operating expenses from amortization of acquired intangibles.

(3) | Cost of revenue and research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2017 included an impairment charge of $47.0 million as a result of abandonment of a project related to certain developed technology and in-process research and development from the ClariPhy acquisition.

(4) | In April 2020, Inphi issued $506.0 million of 0.75% convertible senior notes due April 15, 2025. The interest expense resulted mainly from convertible debt issued in December 2015, September 2016 and April 2020.

(5) | In 2020, Inphi repurchased $180.5 million and $227.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes 2015 and Convertible Notes 2016, respectively, paying a total of $411.7 million cash (excluding payment for accrued interest) and issued approximately 5.0 million Inphi Shares. The repurchase was accounted for as a debt extinguishment which resulted in loss from early extinguishment of debt of $13.5 million.

(6) | Other income, net included an impairment charge of $7.0 million related to a non-marketable equity investment for the year ended December 31, 2018.

(7) | The benefit for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2016 included the release of valuation allowance against deferred tax assets as a result of the acquisition of ClariPhy. The benefit for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2017 included revaluation of deferred tax liabilities to the new federal tax rate of 21% and tax benefit from intercompany transfer of intellectual property rights. The benefit for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2018 included partial release of federal valuation allowance resulting from the transfer of an acquired in-process research and development to developed technology in 2018 which allowed the related deferred tax liability to be considered a source of income for realizing deferred tax assets, as well as the revaluation of the foreign deferred tax liability on the in-process research and development based on the foreign tax rates applicable to the anticipated reversal periods. The income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 included an income tax benefit for the reversal of certain unrecognized tax benefits as a result of the Internal Revenue Service exam conclusion with a no change report, substantially offset by income tax expense for the accrual of certain federal unrecognized tax

| benefit. The change in the unrecognized tax benefit had no impact on Inphi’s income tax provision as a result of the full federal valuation allowance. In addition, the income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 included an accrual for unrecognized tax benefit for foreign taxes and an income tax benefit for the remeasurement of certain net foreign deferred tax liability based on the renewed tax holiday period in Singapore.

SELECTED UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA

The following table sets forth selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as of October 31, 2020 and for the year ended February 1, 2020 and the nine months ended October 31, 2020. The selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based upon the historical financial statements of Marvell and Inphi and gives effect to the Mergers, transactions undertaken to finance the Mergers, conversion of Inphi’s Convertible Notes, Inphi’s eSilicon Acquisition, Marvell’s Wi-Fi Connectivity Business Divestiture and other relevant adjustments. The selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet data as of October 31, 2020 combines the historical balance sheet of each of Marvell and Inphi, giving effect to the Mergers, and to the Debt Financing (as described in “The Mergers—No Financing Condition; Financing”), as if they had been completed on October 31, 2020. The selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations data for the twelve months ended February 1, 2020 and the nine months ended October 31, 2020, give effect to the Mergers and the Debt Financing, as if they had occurred on February 3, 2019.

The Delaware Merger will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The transaction related adjustments reflect adjustments required under GAAP for business combinations and are based upon, among other things, preliminary estimates of fair market values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and certain assumptions that Marvell believes are reasonable. Revisions to the preliminary estimates of fair market value may have a significant impact on the pro forma amounts of total assets, total liabilities and total shareholders’ equity, depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense and income tax expense. The actual adjustments to HoldCo’s consolidated financial statements upon the completion of the Mergers will depend on a number of factors, including additional information available and HoldCo’s net assets on the closing date of the Mergers. Therefore, the actual adjustments will differ from the transaction related adjustments, and the differences may be material. The selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company. The pro forma financial statements do not reflect any cost or growth synergies that the combined company may achieve as a result of the Mergers, or the costs to combine the operations of Marvell and Inphi, or the costs necessary to achieve these cost or growth synergies.

The selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information set forth below should be read in conjunction with the information included in the sections titled “The Merger Agreement,” “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information,” “Financial Summary—Selected Historical Consolidated Financial Data of Marvell” and “Financial Summary—Selected Historical Consolidated Financial Data of Inphi,” as well as Marvell’s consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto, and Inphi’s consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto, each of which is incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The Marvell Shareholder Meeting will be held at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time on April 15, 2021, unless adjourned or postponed to a later date or time.

Due to the public health concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, the Marvell Shareholder Meeting will be held virtually via live audio-only webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/MRVL2021SM.

Purposes of the Marvell Shareholder Meeting

At the Marvell Shareholder Meeting, Marvell shareholders will be asked:

| • |  | Proposal 1—Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal. To consider and vote on a proposal to approve an amendment to the Marvell Bye-Laws to reduce the shareholder vote required to approve a merger with any other company (including the Bermuda Merger) from the affirmative vote of 75% of the votes cast at a general meeting of the shareholders, the statutory default under Bermuda law, to a simple majority of the votes cast at a general meeting of the shareholders (in each case, provided a quorum is present);

| • |  | Proposal 2—Marvell Merger Proposal. To consider and vote on a proposal to approve the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement and the Bermuda Merger; and

| • |  | Proposal 3—Marvell Adjournment Proposal.

The Marvell Board unanimously recommends that Marvell shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal; “FOR” the approval of the Marvell Merger Proposal; and “FOR” the Marvell Adjournment Proposal.

Record Date; Issued Shares; Shares Entitled to Vote

The Marvell Record Date for the Marvell Shareholder Meeting is February 25, 2021. This means that you must be a shareholder of record of Marvell Shares at the close of business on February 25, 2021 in order to vote at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting. You are entitled to one vote for each Marvell Share you own. At the close of business on the Marvell Record Date, there were 675,695,984 Marvell Shares issued and entitled to vote, held by approximately 512 holders of record.

Quorum and Vote Required

A quorum of Marvell shareholders is required to transact business at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting. A quorum for the Marvell Shareholder Meeting is the presence of at least two holders representing virtually or by proxy in excess of 50% of the total issued voting shares of Marvell throughout the Marvell Shareholder Meeting. Under legal principles understood by Marvell’s Bermuda counsel to be applicable in Bermuda, abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum. Marvell’s transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC will act as inspector of elections at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting and will ascertain whether a quorum is present, tabulate the votes and determine the voting results on all matters presented to the Marvell shareholders at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting. If a quorum is not present, the Marvell Shareholder Meeting will stand adjourned for one week or otherwise as may be determined by the Marvell Board in accordance with the Marvell Bye-Laws in order to permit the further solicitation of proxies or votes. At any subsequent reconvening of the Marvell Shareholder Meeting, all proxies will be voted in the same manner as the proxies would have been voted at the original convening of the Marvell Shareholder Meeting, except for any proxies that have been effectively revoked or withdrawn prior to the reconvening of the Marvell Shareholder Meeting. If a new record date for the Marvell shareholders entitled to vote is not fixed for the adjourned meeting at the time of such adjournment, the Marvell Board must provide a fresh notice to each Marvell shareholder of record entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, including the new record date and the date and time for the resumption of the adjourned meeting.

For shares held in “street name,” your bank, broker or other nominee will not be permitted to vote at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting without specific instructions as to how to vote from you as the beneficial owner of Marvell Shares. Broker non-votes will be entirely excluded from the vote and, under legal principles understood by Marvell’s Bermuda counsel to be applicable in Bermuda, will have no effect on the vote on the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal, the Marvell Merger Proposal or the Marvell Adjournment Proposal.

| • |  | Required vote to approve the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal. Approval of the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote (virtually or by proxy) of a majority of the votes cast by holders of Marvell Shares represented at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting (provided a quorum is present), which, under legal principles understood by Marvell’s Bermuda counsel to be applicable in Bermuda, excludes abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, which will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal. An abstention occurs when a Marvell shareholder attends the Marvell Shareholder Meeting virtually or is represented at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting by proxy and abstains from voting. Under legal principles understood by Marvell’s Bermuda counsel to be applicable in Bermuda, shares not in attendance and not represented by proxy at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting will have no effect on the vote on the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment, provided that a quorum is present.

| • |  | If the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal is Not Approved. If the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal is not approved, approval of the Marvell Merger Proposal will require the affirmative vote (virtually or by proxy) of 75% of the votes cast by holders of Marvell Shares represented at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting (provided a quorum is present), the statutory default under Bermuda law. Under legal principles understood by Marvell’s Bermuda counsel to be applicable in Bermuda, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Marvell Merger Proposal. An abstention occurs when a Marvell shareholder attends the Marvell Shareholder Meeting virtually or is represented at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting by proxy and abstains from voting. Under legal principles understood by Marvell’s Bermuda counsel to be applicable in Bermuda, shares not in attendance and not represented by proxy at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting will have no effect on the vote on the Marvell Merger Proposal, provided that a quorum is present.

Share Ownership and Voting by Marvell’s Directors and Executive Officers

At the close of business on the Marvell Record Date, Marvell’s directors and executive officers and their affiliates had the right to vote approximately 1,712,129 Marvell Shares at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting, collectively representing less than 1% of the Marvell Shares issued and entitled to vote on that date. We currently expect that Marvell’s directors and executive officers will vote their shares “FOR” the approval of the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Marvell Merger Proposal and “FOR” the Marvell Adjournment Proposal.

How to Vote

You may vote your Marvell Shares virtually at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting or by submitting a proxy (including proxies submitted by telephone or via the Internet). Marvell recommends that you submit your proxy even if you plan to attend the Marvell Shareholder Meeting. If you submit your proxy, you may change your vote if you attend and vote at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting. However, mere attendance at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting will not automatically revoke your previously submitted proxy.

Owners of record (that is, shareholders of record who hold Marvell Shares in such shareholders’ own name, as opposed to through a bank, broker or other nominee) at the close of business on the Marvell Record Date may

67

##### Table of Contents

vote virtually at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting or by proxy. This means that you may use the enclosed proxy card(s) to instruct the persons named as proxies how to vote your shares. If you properly complete, sign and date your proxy card(s) or submit your voting instructions by telephone or via the Internet, your shares will be voted in accordance with your instructions. The named proxies will vote all shares at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting for which proxies have been properly submitted (whether by mail, telephone or via the Internet) and not revoked. Owners of record have three ways to vote by proxy:

| • |  | Internet. You can submit your proxy via the Internet at the Internet address shown on your proxy card(s). You will be prompted to enter your 16-digit control number from your proxy card. This number will identify you as a shareholder of record. Follow the simple instructions that will be given to you to record your vote. If you submit your proxy via the Internet, do not return your proxy card(s).

| • |  | Telephone. You can submit your proxy by telephone by calling the toll-free number on your proxy card(s). You will be prompted to enter your 16-digit control number from your proxy card. This number will identify you as a shareholder of record. Follow the simple instructions that will be given to you to record your vote. If you submit your proxy by telephone, do not return your proxy card(s).

| • |  | Mail. You can submit your proxy by mail by simply signing, dating and mailing your proxy card(s) in the postage-paid envelope included with this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

If you sign and return your proxy card(s) but do not mark your card(s) to instruct the proxies how to vote your shares on each proposal, your shares will be voted as recommended by the Marvell Board.

The deadline for voting electronically through the Internet or by telephone is 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on April 14, 2021.

Access and Login Instructions for the Virtual Marvell Shareholder Meeting

To be admitted to the Marvell Shareholder Meeting, go to www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/MRVL2021SM and enter the 16-digit control number on your voting instruction card or proxy card. Online access to the Marvell Shareholder Meeting will open at 1:45 p.m. Pacific Time to allow time for you to log-in prior to the start of the live audio webcast of the Marvell Shareholder Meeting at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time.

The virtual meeting platform is widely supported across most browsers and devices running the most updated version of applicable software and plugins. Participants, however, should ensure that they allow sufficient time prior to the start of the meeting to log-in and confirm they can hear streaming audio prior to the start of the meeting. If any log-in difficulties are encountered, please call the technical support number on the log-in page.

Shares Held in “Street Name”

Marvell shareholders who hold Marvell Shares in a stock brokerage account or through a bank, broker or other nominee (“street name” shareholders) and who wish to vote at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting should be provided a voting instruction form by the institution that holds such shareholders’ shares. If this has not occurred, the Marvell shareholder should contact the institution that holds such shareholder’s Marvell Shares.

A number of banks and brokerage firms participate in a program that also permits shareholders whose shares are held in “street name” to direct such shareholders’ vote by telephone or via the Internet. If your Marvell Shares are held in an account at a bank or brokerage firm that participates in such a program, you may direct the vote of these shares by telephone or via the Internet by following the voting instructions enclosed with the proxy form from the bank or brokerage firm. The Internet and telephone proxy procedures are designed to authenticate shareholders’ identities, to allow shareholders to give such shareholders’ proxy voting instructions and to confirm that those instructions have been properly recorded. Generally, votes directed by telephone or via the Internet through such a program must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on April 14, 2021. However,

68

##### Table of Contents

please follow the instructions included on the voting instruction form. Directing the voting of your shares will not affect your right to vote virtually if you decide to attend the Marvell Shareholder Meeting; however, you must first obtain a signed and properly executed legal proxy from your bank, broker or other nominee to vote your shares held in “street name” at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting. Requesting a legal proxy prior to the deadline described above will automatically cancel any voting directions you have previously given by telephone or via the Internet with respect to your shares.

With respect to the approval of the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal, the Marvell Merger Proposal and the Marvell Adjournment Proposal, for shares held in “street name,” if you do not instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote your shares, your bank, broker or other nominee will not be authorized to vote, and will not vote your shares. Under legal principles understood by Marvell’s Bermuda counsel to be applicable in Bermuda, this will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the approval of the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal, the Marvell Merger Proposal and the Marvell Adjournment Proposal.

If you abstain from voting with respect to the approval of the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal, the Marvell Merger Proposal and the Marvell Adjournment Proposal, your abstention will be entirely excluded from the vote and, under legal principles understood by Marvell’s Bermuda counsel to be applicable in Bermuda, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the approval of the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal, the Marvell Merger Proposal and the Marvell Adjournment Proposal.

If you do not vote your shares, either virtually at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting or by proxy, under legal principles understood by Marvell’s Bermuda counsel to be applicable in Bermuda, your failure to vote will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the approval of the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal, the Marvell Merger Proposal and the Marvell Adjournment Proposal.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you are the owner of record of Marvell Shares at the close of business on the Marvell Record Date, you may change or revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting by:

| • |  | sending a written notice to Marvell’s registered office at Victoria Place, 5th Floor, 31 Victoria Street, Hamilton HM 10, Bermuda, Attn: Assistant Secretary, bearing a date later than the date of the proxy that is received prior to the Marvell Shareholder Meeting and stating that you revoke your proxy;

| • |  | signing, dating and delivering a new valid proxy card(s) bearing a later date that is received prior to the Marvell Shareholder Meeting;

| • |  | submitting your voting instructions again by telephone or via the Internet by 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on April 14, 2021; or

| • |  | attending the Marvell Shareholder Meeting and voting virtually, although attendance at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy.

If you are a “street name” shareholder and submitted voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee, please refer to the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee on how to change your vote.

Tabulation of the Votes

Each Marvell Share held by a shareholder at the close of business on the Marvell Record Date will be entitled to one vote. All votes will be tabulated by American Stock Transfer Trust & Company, LLC, which will act as the inspector of elections at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting. It will ascertain whether a quorum is present, tabulate the votes and determine the voting results on all matters presented to the Marvell shareholders at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting.

BERMUDA APPRAISAL RIGHTS

Under Bermuda law, in the event of a merger of a Bermuda company with another Bermuda company or foreign corporation, any dissenting shareholder of the Bermuda company is entitled to receive fair value for such shareholder’s shares. For purposes of Section 106(2)(b)(i) of the Bermuda Companies Act, the Marvell Board considers the fair value for each Marvell Share to be equal to the value of one HoldCo Share.

Any Marvell shareholder who does not vote in favor of the Bermuda Merger, is not satisfied that such holder has been offered fair value for such holder’s Marvell Shares and validly submits an application for appraisal may have the fair value of such holder’s Marvell Shares appraised by the Bermuda Court under Section 106 of the Bermuda Companies Act. Persons owning beneficial interests in Marvell Shares but who are not shareholders of record should note that only persons who are shareholders of record are entitled to make an application for appraisal. Any Marvell shareholder intending to exercise appraisal rights must file an application for appraisal of the fair value of such holder’s Marvell Shares with the Bermuda Court within ONE MONTH after the giving of the notice convening the Marvell Shareholder Meeting. The notice delivered with this joint proxy statement/prospectus constitutes this notice. There are no statutory rules and only limited decisions of the Bermuda Court prescribing in detail the operation of the provisions of the Bermuda Companies Act governing appraisal rights that are set forth in Section 106 of the Bermuda Companies Act or the process of appraisal by the Bermuda Court. The Bermuda Court retains considerable discretion as to the precise methodology that it would adopt when determining the fair value of shares in an appraisal application under the Bermuda Companies Act.

If a Marvell shareholder votes in favor of the Marvell Merger Proposal, such shareholder will have no right to apply to the Bermuda Court to appraise the fair value of such holder’s Marvell Shares. If a Marvell shareholder votes against the Marvell Merger Proposal, such shareholder will have the right to apply to the Bermuda Court to appraise the fair value of such holder’s Marvell Shares. Bermuda law is not clear with respect to the rights afforded to a Marvell shareholder whose common shares are not voted with respect to the Marvell Merger Proposal and there are no decisions of the Bermuda Court prescribing the operation of Section 106 in such context.

Voting against the Marvell Merger Proposal, or not voting, will not in itself satisfy the requirements for notice and exercise of a dissenting shareholder’s right to apply for appraisal of the fair value of such holder’s Marvell Shares.

ANY MARVELL SHAREHOLDER WHO VOTES “FOR” THE BERMUDA MERGER PROPOSAL WILL HAVE NO RIGHT TO APPLY TO THE BERMUDA COURT TO APPRAISE THE FAIR VALUE OF SUCH HOLDER’S MARVELL SHARES.

Pursuant to the Bermuda Companies Act, the value of Marvell Shares held by a dissenting shareholder who has properly exercised appraisal rights may be appraised by the Bermuda Court prior to the completion of the Bermuda Merger. However, based on the average length of appraisal proceedings previously undertaken by the Bermuda Court, it is unlikely that the Bermuda Court will complete any appraisal with respect to Marvell Shares held by a dissenting shareholder prior to the completion of the Bermuda Merger.

In any case where the value of Marvell Shares held by a dissenting shareholder who has properly exercised appraisal rights is appraised by the Bermuda Court after the completion of the Bermuda Merger to be greater than the value of the Bermuda Merger Consideration, HoldCo will be required to pay such holder an amount in cash equal to the difference between the value of the Bermuda Merger Consideration received by such holder and the fair value appraised by the Bermuda Court. This amount must be paid within one month after the Bermuda Court’s determination.

In the past, the Bermuda Court has taken up to two years to complete an appraisal proceeding following a dissenting shareholder’s application for appraisal and the Bermuda Court may take as much or more time to make an appraisal determination in the future.

71

##### Table of Contents

If the Bermuda Court determines that the value of the Marvell Shares held by a dissenting shareholder is less than the amount paid as the Bermuda Merger Consideration, the dissenting shareholder will receive the Bermuda Merger Consideration, but no additional payment will be made.

A Marvell shareholder that has exercised appraisal rights has no right of appeal from an appraisal made by the Bermuda Court. The responsibility for apportioning the costs of any application to the Bermuda Court under Section 106 of the Bermuda Companies Act will be in the discretion of the Bermuda Court.

PROPOSAL 1—THE MARVELL BYE-LAW AMENDMENT PROPOSAL

Under the Bermuda Companies Act, a merger transaction requires approval by 75% of the votes cast at a meeting of the shareholders (provided a quorum is present) of a Bermuda company that is party to the merger, unless such company’s bye-laws provide otherwise. The Marvell Bye-Laws are silent with respect to the shareholder vote required to approve a merger to which Marvell is a party. The Marvell shareholders are being asked to approve the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment, which would reduce the shareholder vote required to approve a merger with any other company (including the Bermuda Merger) from the affirmative vote of 75% of the votes cast at a general meeting of the shareholders (provided a quorum is present) to a simple majority of the votes cast at a general meeting of the shareholders (provided a quorum is present). Approval of the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal is not a condition to completion of the Mergers, but will have the effect of lowering the approval threshold for the Marvell Merger Proposal.

If the necessary vote of shareholders is obtained in connection with this proposal, the Marvell Bye-Laws will be immediately amended as set forth in Annex A attached hereto, which we have repeated below:

| • |  | to delete existing Bye-Law 1.1(e) “Business Combination” under the heading “INTERPRETATION” in its entirety; and

| • |  | to delete existing Bye-Law 79 under the heading “BUSINESS COMBINATIONS” in its entirety and insert new Bye-Law 79 as follows:

AMALGAMATION AND MERGER

79. Any resolution proposed for consideration at any general meeting to approve the amalgamation or merger of the Company with any other company, wherever incorporated, shall require the approval of a simple majority of votes cast at such meeting and the quorum for such meeting shall be that required in Bye-Law 40 and a poll may be demanded in respect of such resolution in accordance with the provisions of Bye-Law 48.

The Marvell Board unanimously (i) determined that the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment is fair to, and in the best interests of, Marvell and its shareholders, (ii) approved the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment, and (iii) resolved that the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal be submitted to Marvell shareholders for such shareholders’ consideration at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting.

Approval of the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote (virtually or by proxy) of a majority of the votes cast by holders of Marvell Shares represented at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting (provided a quorum is present).

The Marvell Board unanimously recommends that Marvell shareholders

vote “FOR” the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal.

PROPOSAL 2—THE MARVELL MERGER PROPOSAL

The Marvell shareholders are being asked to approve the Marvell Merger Proposal, including approval of the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement and the Bermuda Merger. Approval of the Marvell Merger Proposal is a condition to the completion of the Mergers.

The Marvell Board unanimously (i) determined that the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement and the Bermuda Merger are fair to, and in the best interests of, Marvell and its shareholders, (ii) approved the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement, the Bermuda Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (iii) resolved that the Marvell Merger Proposal be submitted to Marvell shareholders for such shareholders’ consideration at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting.

If the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment is approved, the approval of the Marvell Merger Proposal will require the affirmative vote (virtually or by proxy) of a majority of the votes cast by holders of Marvell Shares represented at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting (provided a quorum is present).

If the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment is not approved, the approval of the Marvell Merger Proposal will require the affirmative vote (virtually or by proxy) of 75% of the votes cast, by holders of Marvell Shares represented at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting (provided a quorum is present), the statutory default under Bermuda law.

The Marvell Board unanimously recommends that Marvell shareholders

vote “FOR” the Marvell Merger Proposal.

74

##### Table of Contents

PROPOSAL 3—THE MARVELL ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

The Marvell shareholders may be asked to vote on the Marvell Adjournment Proposal, if necessary or appropriate, to permit further solicitation of proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Marvell Shareholder Meeting to approve the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment or the Marvell Merger Proposal. Any determination of whether it is necessary to adjourn the Marvell Shareholder Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof) to solicit additional proxies will be made solely by Marvell consistent with the terms of the Merger Agreement or with the consent of Inphi.

The Marvell Board unanimously resolved that the Marvell Adjournment Proposal be submitted to Marvell shareholders for such shareholders’ consideration at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting.

Please note that pursuant to Bye-Law 41 of the Marvell Bye-Laws, the chairman of a general meeting may, with the consent of the shareholders at any general meeting, provided a quorum is present (and shall if so directed by the shareholders), adjourn the meeting. In addition, the chairman may adjourn the meeting to another time and place without such consent or direction if it appears to him or her that:

| • |  | it is likely to be impracticable to hold or continue that meeting because of the number of shareholders wishing to attend who are not present;

| • |  | the unruly conduct of persons attending the meeting prevents, or is likely to prevent, the orderly continuation of the business of the meeting; or

| • |  | an adjournment is otherwise necessary so that the business of the meeting may be properly conducted.

Unless the meeting is adjourned to a specific date and time, new notice of the date, time and place for the resumption of the adjourned meeting must be given to each shareholder in accordance with the Marvell Bye-Laws. If a quorum is not present at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting, Bye-Law 40 of the Marvell Bye-Laws requires that the meeting be adjourned to the same day one week later, at the same time and place or to such other day, time or place as the Marvell Board may determine.

Approval of the Marvell Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote (virtually or by proxy) of a majority of the votes cast by holders of Marvell Shares represented at the Marvell Shareholder Meeting (provided a quorum is present).

The Marvell Board unanimously recommends that Marvell shareholders

vote “FOR” the Marvell Adjournment Proposal.

THE INPHI STOCKHOLDER MEETING

Inphi is providing this joint proxy statement/prospectus to its stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement of the Inphi Stockholder Meeting) that Inphi has called to consider and vote on the approval of the Inphi Merger Proposal, the approval of the Inphi Adjournment Proposal and the approval of the Inphi Compensation Proposal.

Date, Time and Location

Together with this joint proxy statement/prospectus, Inphi is also sending Inphi stockholders a notice of the Inphi Stockholder Meeting and a form of proxy card that is solicited by the Inphi Board for use at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting to be held on April 15, 2021 at 10:00 a.m., Pacific Time, at Inphi’s headquarters, located at 110 Rio Robles, San Jose, California 95134, and any adjournments or postponements of the Inphi Stockholder Meeting. Inphi intends to hold the Inphi Stockholder Meeting in person. However, Inphi is actively monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and is sensitive to the public health and travel concerns Inphi stockholders may have and the protocols that federal, state, and local governments may impose. In the event it is not possible or advisable to hold the Inphi Stockholder Meeting in person, Inphi will announce alternative arrangements for the meeting as promptly as practicable, which may include holding the meeting solely by means of remote communication. If Inphi takes this step, Inphi will announce the decision to do so in advance, and details on how to participate will be issued by press release, posted on Inphi’s website at http://inphi.com and filed with the SEC as supplemental proxy material.

Only stockholders or such stockholders’ proxy holders may attend the Inphi Stockholder Meeting. If you hold Inphi Shares in your name at the close of business on the Inphi Record Date (February 25, 2021) and plan to attend the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, please be prepared to provide valid government-issued photo identification (e.g., a driver’s license or a passport) to be admitted.

If you are a beneficial owner of Inphi Shares held in “street name” by a broker, bank or other nominee holder of record at the close of business on the Inphi Record Date (February 25, 2021), in addition to proper identification, you will also need proof of beneficial ownership at the close of business on the Inphi Record Date to be admitted to the Inphi Stockholder Meeting. A brokerage statement or letter from a bank or broker are examples of proof of beneficial ownership. If you want to vote your Inphi Shares held in “street name” in person at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, you will have to obtain a written legal proxy in your name from the broker, bank or other nominee holder of record who holds your shares.

Purpose

At the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, Inphi stockholders will be asked:

| • |  | Proposal 1—Inphi Merger Proposal. To consider and vote on a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement;

| • |  | Proposal 2—Inphi Adjournment Proposal. To consider and vote on a proposal to adjourn the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to permit further solicitation of proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Inphi Stockholder Meeting to approve the Inphi Merger Proposal; and

| • |  | Proposal 3—Inphi Compensation Proposal. To consider and vote on a proposal to approve a non-binding, advisory resolution on the compensation that may become payable to Inphi’s named executive officers in connection with the completion of the Mergers.

Inphi has not received notice of any other proposals to be presented at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting.

Recommendations of the Inphi Board of Directors

On October 28, 2020, the Inphi Board unanimously (i) determined that the Merger Agreement and the Delaware Merger are advisable and fair to and in the best interests of Inphi and its stockholders, (ii) approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Delaware Merger, in accordance with the DGCL, and (iii) recommended that Inphi stockholders vote to adopt the Merger Agreement at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting. The Inphi Board unanimously recommends that Inphi stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Inphi Merger Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Inphi Adjournment Proposal, and “FOR” the approval of the Inphi Compensation Proposal.

Inphi Record Date; Outstanding Shares; Stockholders Entitled to Vote

The Inphi Record Date for the Inphi Stockholder Meeting is February 25, 2021. This means that Inphi stockholders must be a stockholder of record of Inphi Shares at the close of business on February 25, 2021 in order to vote at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Inphi stockholders are entitled to one vote for each Inphi Share owned. At the close of business on the Inphi Record Date, there were 53,672,718 Inphi Shares issued and entitled to vote, held by approximately 24 holders of record.

Quorum

A quorum of stockholders at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting is required for Inphi stockholders to approve the Inphi Merger Proposal or approve the Inphi Compensation Proposal. A quorum for the Inphi Stockholder Meeting is the presence at the meeting of a majority of the voting power of the Inphi Shares entitled to vote at the close of business on the Inphi Record Date, present in person or by proxy. Abstentions (i.e., Inphi Shares that are represented in person at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting or for which proxies have been received but, in each case, for which the holders have abstained from voting), if any, will be included in the calculation of the number of Inphi Shares represented at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. Broker non-votes, if any, will not be included in the calculation of the number of Inphi Shares represented at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. There must be a quorum for business to be conducted at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting. Failure of a quorum to be present at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting will necessitate an adjournment or postponement thereof and will subject Inphi to additional expense.

Required Vote

Pursuant to the DGCL, to approve the Inphi Merger Proposal, the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the Inphi Shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the close of business on the Inphi Record Date in person or represented by proxy at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting (provided a quorum is present) is required. Accordingly, an Inphi stockholder’s abstention from voting, the failure of an Inphi stockholder who holds such stockholder’s shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee holder of record to give voting instructions to that broker, bank or other nominee holder of record or an Inphi stockholder’s other failure to vote will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the approval of the Inphi Merger Proposal.

To approve the Inphi Adjournment Proposal, the affirmative vote of a majority of the Inphi stockholders present or represented by proxy at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting and entitled to vote (regardless of whether a quorum is present) is required. Accordingly, an Inphi stockholder’s abstention from voting will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the vote to adjourn the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, but the failure of an Inphi stockholder who holds his or her shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee holder of record to give voting instructions to that broker, bank or other holder of record or an Inphi stockholder’s other failure to vote will have no effect on the outcome of any vote to adjourn the Inphi Stockholder Meeting.

To approve the Inphi Compensation Proposal, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Inphi Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting (provided a

77

##### Table of Contents

quorum is present) is required. Accordingly, an Inphi stockholder’s abstention from voting will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the vote to adjourn the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, but the failure of an Inphi stockholder who holds his or her shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee holder of record to give voting instructions to that broker, bank or other holder of record or an Inphi stockholder’s other failure to vote will have no effect on the outcome of any vote to approve the Inphi Compensation Proposal.

Stock Ownership of and Voting by Inphi Directors and Executive Officers

At the close of business on the Inphi Record Date, Inphi’s directors and executive officers and their affiliates beneficially owned and had the right to vote in the aggregate 719,468 Inphi Shares, which represent 1.3% of the Inphi Shares entitled to vote as of that date.

Voting of Shares

| • |  | Internet. If you hold Inphi Shares directly in your name as a stockholder of record, you may submit a proxy to vote via the Internet by following the instructions provided on the proxy card or voting instruction card you receive. In order to submit a proxy to vote via the Internet, you will need the control number on your proxy card (which is unique to each Inphi stockholder to ensure all voting instructions are genuine and to prevent duplicate voting). Proxies may be submitted via the Internet 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on April 14, 2021. If you hold Inphi Shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee holder of record, you may provide voting instructions via the Internet only if Internet voting is made available by your broker, bank or other nominee holder of record. Please follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee holder of record with these materials.

| • |  | Mail. If you hold Inphi Shares directly in your name as a stockholder of record, you may submit a proxy card to vote by mail by dating, signing and returning your proxy card in the enclosed postage-prepaid return envelope or as instructed on the voting instructed card. Your proxy card must be received prior to the Inphi Stockholder Meeting. If you hold Inphi Shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee holder of record, in order to provide voting instructions by mail, you will need to complete, sign and date the voting instruction form provided by your broker, bank or other nominee holder of record and return it in the postage-paid return envelope provided. Your broker, bank or other nominee holder of record must receive your voting instruction form in sufficient time to vote your shares.

| • |  | In Person. If you hold Inphi Shares directly in your name as a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting. Stockholders of record also may be represented by another person at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting by executing a proper proxy designating that person. When a stockholder of record submits a proxy via the Internet, his or her proxy is recorded immediately. You are encouraged to register your proxy via the Internet whenever possible. If you submit a proxy via the Internet, please do not return your proxy card by mail. If you attend the meeting, you may also vote in person. Any proxies that you previously submitted—whether via the Internet or by mail—will be superseded by any vote that you cast at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting.

If you hold Inphi Shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee holder of record, you must obtain a written legal proxy from that institution and present it to the inspector of elections with your ballot to be able to vote in person at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting. To request a legal proxy, please contact your broker, bank or other nominee holder of record.

If your shares are held in an account at a broker, bank or other nominee holder of record (i.e., in “street name”), you must instruct the broker, bank or other nominee holder of record on how to vote your shares. Your broker, bank or other nominee holder of record will vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote by

78

##### Table of Contents

filling out the voting instruction form sent to you by your broker, bank or other nominee holder of record with this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Brokers, banks and other nominee holders of record who hold Inphi Shares in “street name” typically have the authority to vote in their discretion on “routine” proposals when they have not received instructions on how to vote from the beneficial owner. However, brokers, banks and other nominee holders of record typically are not allowed to exercise their voting discretion on matters that are “non-routine” without specific instructions on how to vote from the beneficial owner. None of the proposals being presented at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting are considered a routine matter. Therefore, your bank, broker or other nominee will not be permitted to vote at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting without instruction from you as the beneficial owner of Inphi Shares. A beneficial owner’s failure to instruct the broker, bank or other nominee holder of record how to vote shares held in “street name” will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the approval of the Inphi Merger Proposal. A beneficial owner’s failure to instruct the broker, bank or other nominee holder of record how to vote shares held in “street name” will have no effect on the Inphi Adjournment Proposal or the Inphi Compensation Proposal.

All shares represented by each properly completed and valid proxy received before or at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting will be voted in accordance with the instructions given in the proxy. If an Inphi stockholder signs a proxy card and returns it without giving instructions for the voting on any proposal, the Inphi Shares represented by that proxy card will be voted “FOR” the approval of the Inphi Merger Proposal, “FOR” the approval of the Inphi Adjournment Proposal and “FOR” the approval of the Inphi Compensation Proposal. Inphi stockholders should NOT send Inphi Stock Certificates with such stockholders’ proxy cards.

Your vote is very important, regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether or not you expect to attend the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, please submit a proxy to vote your shares as promptly as possible so that your shares may be represented and voted at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting. If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee holder of record, please follow the instructions on the voting instruction form furnished to you by such record holder.

Revocability of Proxies; Changing Your Vote

You may revoke your proxy or change your vote at any time before the closing of the polls at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record at the close of business on the Inphi Record Date (February 25, 2021), you can revoke your proxy or change your vote by:

| • |  | submitting a written notice of revocation to Inphi’s Secretary at 110 Rio Robles, San Jose, California 95134 that is received prior to the Inphi Stockholder Meeting;

| • |  | submitting another properly executed proxy of a later date that is received prior to the Inphi Stockholder Meeting; or

| • |  | attending the Inphi Stockholder Meeting (or, if the Inphi Stockholder Meeting is adjourned or postponed, attending the adjourned or postponed meeting) and voting such shares during the Inphi Stockholder Meeting as described above, which automatically will cancel any proxy previously given, but your attendance at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting alone will not revoke any proxy previously given.

If you hold your shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee holder of record, you must contact your broker, bank or other nominee holder of record to change your vote or obtain a written legal proxy to vote your shares if you wish to cast your vote in person at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting.

Solicitation of Proxies; Expenses of Solicitation

This joint proxy statement/prospectus is being provided to holders of Inphi Shares in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Inphi Board to be voted at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting and at any adjournments

79

##### Table of Contents

or postponements of the Inphi Stockholder Meeting. Inphi will bear all costs and expenses in connection with the solicitation of proxies, including the costs of printing and mailing this joint proxy statement/prospectus for the Inphi Stockholder Meeting. Inphi has engaged Mackenzie Partners, Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Inphi Stockholder Meeting and will pay Mackenzie Partners, Inc. a fee of approximately $20,000, plus reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

In addition to solicitation by mail, directors, officers and employees of Inphi or its subsidiaries may solicit proxies from stockholders by telephone, telegram, e-mail, personal interview or other means. Inphi currently expects not to incur any costs beyond those customarily expended for a solicitation of proxies in connection with the approval of the Inphi Merger Proposal. Directors, officers and employees of Inphi will not receive additional compensation for their solicitation activities, but may be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with the solicitation. Brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies, fiduciaries, custodians and other nominees have been requested to forward proxy solicitation materials to their customers, and such nominees will be reimbursed for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

Householding

The SEC has adopted a rule concerning the delivery of proxy materials. It permits Inphi, with your permission, to send a single copy of this joint proxy statement/prospectus to any household at which two or more stockholders reside if Inphi believes such stockholders are members of the same family. This rule is called “householding,” and its purpose is to help reduce printing and mailing costs of proxy materials. Inphi has instituted this practice, but you may nonetheless receive a separate mailing if you hold additional shares in a brokerage account. If you receive a single set of proxy materials as a result of householding, and you would like to have separate copies of this joint proxy statement/prospectus mailed to you, please submit a request to Inphi’s Secretary at 110 Rio Robles, San Jose, California 95134, or call Inphi’s Investor Relations department at (408) 217-7300 and Inphi will promptly send you what you have requested. You may revoke your consent to householding at any time by contacting Inphi’s Secretary or Investor Relations using the contact information set forth above.

A number of brokerage firms have instituted householding for shares held in “street name.” If you and members of your household have multiple accounts holding Inphi Shares, you may have received a householding notification from your broker. Please contact your broker directly if you have questions, require additional copies of this joint proxy statement/prospectus or wish to revoke your decision to household. These options are available to you at any time.

Adjournment

Inphi stockholders are being asked to approve the Inphi Adjournment Proposal, if necessary or appropriate, to permit further solicitation of proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Inphi Stockholder Meeting to approve the Inphi Merger Proposal. If the Inphi Adjournment Proposal is approved, the Inphi Stockholder Meeting could be adjourned to any date or dates, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement. No notice of an adjourned meeting need be given if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment was taken unless:

| • |  | the adjournment is for more than 30 days, in which case a notice of the adjourned meeting will be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting; or

| • |  | if, after the adjournment, a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, in which case the Inphi Board will fix as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and will give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record as of such record date.

In addition, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Inphi Board, without prior stockholder approval, could postpone the meeting before it commences, whether for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies or for

80

##### Table of Contents

other reasons. If the Inphi Stockholder Meeting is adjourned for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies, stockholders who have already submitted such stockholders’ proxies will be able to revoke them at any time prior to their use. If you sign and return a proxy and do not indicate how you wish to vote on any proposal, or if you indicate that you wish to vote in favor of the approval of the Inphi Merger Proposal but do not indicate a choice on the Inphi Adjournment Proposal, your shares will be voted in favor of the approval of the Inphi Adjournment Proposal. But if you indicate that you wish to vote against the approval of the Inphi Merger Proposal, your shares will only be voted in favor of the approval of the Inphi Adjournment Proposal if you indicate that you wish to vote in favor of such proposal.

The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to certain exceptions, Inphi must obtain Marvell’s consent before postponing or adjourning the Inphi Stockholder Meeting. Further, Inphi has agreed to postpone or adjourn the Inphi Stockholder Meeting up to two times for up to 30 days each time if Marvell reasonably requests such postponement or adjournment in order to permit the solicitation of additional proxies in favor of the Inphi Merger Proposal (but not to a date later than five business days prior to the End Date). For more information, see “The Merger Agreement—Stockholder and Shareholder Meetings; Board Recommendations.”

Other Information

The matters to be considered at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting are of great importance to the Inphi stockholders. Accordingly, you are urged to read and carefully consider the information contained in or incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus and submit your proxy via the Internet or complete, date, sign and promptly return the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. If you submit your proxy via the Internet, you do not need to return the enclosed proxy card.

Inphi stockholders should not send any Inphi Stock Certificates at this time. A transmittal form with instructions for the surrender of Inphi Stock Certificates will be mailed to you as soon as practicable after completion of the Mergers.

DELAWARE APPRAISAL RIGHTS

Record holders of Inphi Shares who comply with the procedures summarized below will be entitled to appraisal rights if the Delaware Merger is completed. Under Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”), holders of Inphi Shares with respect to which appraisal rights are properly demanded and perfected and not withdrawn or lost are entitled, in lieu of receiving the Delaware Merger Consideration, to have the “fair value” of such holders’ shares (exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Mergers) at the completion of the Delaware Merger judicially determined and paid to them in cash by complying with the provisions of Section 262. Inphi is required to send a notice to that effect to each stockholder not less than 20 days prior to the Inphi Stockholder Meeting. This joint proxy statement/prospectus constitutes that notice to the record holders of Inphi Shares.

The following is a brief summary of Section 262, which sets forth the procedures for demanding statutory appraisal rights. This summary, however, is not a complete statement of the applicable requirements, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Section 262, a copy of the text of which is attached to this joint proxy statement/prospectus as Annex H. If you wish to consider exercising your appraisal rights, you should carefully review the text of Section 262 contained in Annex H. Failure to comply timely and properly with the requirements of Section 262 may result in the loss of your appraisal rights under the DGCL. The following summary does not constitute any legal or other advice nor does it constitute a recommendation that stockholders exercise such stockholders’ appraisal rights under Section 262.

Stockholders of record who desire to exercise such stockholders’ appraisal rights must do all of the following: (1) not vote in favor of adopting the Merger Agreement, (2) deliver in the manner set forth below a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder’s shares to the Secretary of Inphi before the vote on the adoption of the Merger Agreement, (3) continuously hold the shares of record from the date of making the demand through completion of the Mergers and (4) otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 262.

Only a holder of record of Inphi Shares is entitled to demand an appraisal of the shares registered in that holder’s name. A demand for appraisal must be executed by or for the stockholder of record. The demand should set forth, fully and correctly, the stockholder’s name as it appears on the certificates representing shares. If shares are owned of record in a fiduciary capacity, such as by a trustee, guardian or custodian, such demand must be executed by the fiduciary. If shares are owned of record by more than one person, as in a joint tenancy or tenancy in common, the demand must be executed by or on behalf of all owners. An authorized agent, including an agent of two or more owners, may execute the demand for appraisal for a stockholder of record; however, the agent must identify the record owner and expressly disclose that, in exercising the demand, the agent is acting as agent for the record owner.

A record owner, such as a broker, who holds shares as a nominee for others may exercise appraisal rights with respect to the shares held for all or less than all beneficial owners of shares as to which the holder is the record owner. In that case, the written demand must set forth the number of shares covered by the demand. Where the number of shares is not expressly stated, the demand will be presumed to cover all shares outstanding in the name of the record owner.

Beneficial owners who are not record owners and who intend to exercise appraisal rights should consult with the record owner to determine the appropriate procedures for having the record holder make a demand for appraisal with respect to the beneficial owner’s shares. Any holder of shares held in “street name” who desires appraisal rights with respect to those shares must take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that a timely and proper demand for appraisal is made by the record owner of the shares. Shares held through brokerage firms, banks and other financial institutions are frequently deposited with and held of record in the name of a nominee of a central security depository, such as Cede & Co., The Depository Trust Company’s nominee. A demand for appraisal with respect to such shares must be made by or on behalf of the depository nominee and it must identify the depository nominee as the record owner. Any beneficial holder of shares desiring appraisal rights with respect to

82

##### Table of Contents

such shares which are held through a brokerage firm, bank or other financial institution is responsible for ensuring that the demand for appraisal is made by the record holder.

As required by Section 262, a demand for appraisal must be in writing and must reasonably inform Inphi of the identity of the record holder (which might be a nominee as described above) and of such holder’s intention to seek appraisal of the holder’s shares.

A stockholder of record who elects to demand appraisal of such stockholder’s shares must mail or deliver a written demand to: Inphi Corporation, 110 Rio Robles San Jose, California 95134, Attention: Secretary. The written demand for appraisal should specify the stockholder’s name and mailing address. The written demand must reasonably inform Inphi that the stockholder intends thereby to demand an appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. The written demand must be received by Inphi prior to the vote on the adoption of the Merger Agreement at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting. Neither voting (in person or by proxy) against, abstaining from voting on or failing to vote on the adoption of the Merger Agreement will alone suffice to constitute a written demand for appraisal within the meaning of Section 262. In addition, the stockholder must not vote such stockholder’s Inphi Shares in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement. An executed proxy that does not contain voting instructions will, unless revoked, be voted in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and will cause the stockholder’s right of appraisal to be lost. Therefore, a stockholder who desires to exercise appraisal rights should either (1) refrain from executing and submitting the enclosed proxy card or (2) vote by proxy against the adoption of the Merger Agreement or affirmatively register an abstention with respect thereto.

Notwithstanding a stockholder’s compliance with the foregoing requirements, Section 262 provides that, because immediately prior to the Delaware Merger, Inphi Shares were listed on a national securities exchange, the Delaware Chancery Court will dismiss the proceedings as to all holders Inphi Shares who are otherwise entitled to appraisal rights unless (1) the total number of Inphi Shares entitled to appraisal exceeds 1% of the outstanding Inphi Shares or (2) the value of the Delaware Merger Consideration for such total number of Inphi Shares entitled to appraisal exceeds $1 million.

Within 120 days after completion of the Delaware Merger, but not thereafter, either the Surviving Delaware Corporation or any stockholder who has timely and properly demanded appraisal of such stockholder’s shares and who has complied with the requirements of Section 262 and is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, or any beneficial owner for which a demand for appraisal has been properly made by the record holder, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery, with a copy served on the Surviving Delaware Corporation in the case of a petition filed by a stockholder, demanding a determination of the fair value of the shares of all stockholders who have properly demanded appraisal. There is no present intent on the part of Inphi as the Surviving Delaware Corporation to file an appraisal petition, and stockholders seeking to exercise appraisal rights should not assume that the Surviving Delaware Corporation will file such a petition or that the Surviving Delaware Corporation will initiate any negotiations with respect to the fair value of such shares. Accordingly, stockholders who desire to have such stockholders’ shares appraised should initiate any petitions necessary for the perfection of such stockholders’ appraisal rights within the time periods and in the manner prescribed in Section 262.

Within 120 days after completion of the Delaware Merger, any stockholder who has complied with the applicable provisions of Section 262 will be entitled, upon written request, to receive from the Surviving Delaware Corporation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares of common stock not voting in favor of the Delaware Merger and with respect to which demands for appraisal were received by the Surviving Delaware Corporation and the number of holders of such shares. A person who is the beneficial owner of shares held in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person’s own name, file a petition or request from the Surviving Delaware Corporation for the statement described in the previous sentence. Such statement must be mailed within 10 days after the written request therefor has been received by the Surviving Delaware Corporation.

If a petition for appraisal is duly filed by an Inphi stockholder and a copy of the petition is delivered to the Surviving Delaware Corporation, then the Surviving Delaware Corporation will be obligated, within 20 days after receiving service of a copy of the petition, to file with the Delaware Register in Chancery a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded an appraisal of such stockholders’ Inphi Shares and with whom agreements as to the value of such stockholders’ shares of common stock have not been reached. After notice to stockholders who have demanded appraisal, if such notice is ordered by the Delaware Court of Chancery, the Delaware Court of Chancery will conduct a hearing upon the petition and determine those stockholders who have complied with Section 262 and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Delaware Court of Chancery may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for such stockholders’ shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit such stockholders’ certificates of stock to the Delaware Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Delaware Court of Chancery may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder. Where proceedings are not dismissed, the appraisal proceeding will be conducted, as to the Inphi Shares owned by such stockholders, in accordance with the rules of the Delaware Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings.

After a hearing on such petition, the Delaware Court of Chancery will determine which stockholders are entitled to appraisal rights and thereafter will appraise the shares owned by those stockholders, determining the fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the Mergers, together with interest to be paid, if any, upon the amount determined to be the fair value. Unless the Delaware Court of Chancery in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the date the Delaware Merger is completed through the date of payment of the judgment will be compounded quarterly and will accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharges) as established from time to time during the period between the date the Delaware Merger is completed and the date of payment of the judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time before the entry of judgment in the proceedings, the Surviving Delaware Corporation may pay to each stockholder entitled to appraisal an amount in cash (which will be treated as an advance against the payment due to such stockholder), in which case interest will accrue after such payment only upon the sum of (1) the difference, if any, between the amount so paid and the fair value of the shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery and (2) interest theretofore accrued, unless paid at that time. When the fair value is determined, the Delaware Court of Chancery will direct the payment of such value, together with interest, if any, on the amount determined to be fair value, to the stockholders entitled to receive the same upon the surrender by such holders of the certificates representing such stockholders’ shares, if any, or, immediately in the case of any uncertificated shares. The parties have made no determination as to whether such a payment will be made if the Delaware Merger is completed, and Inphi reserves the right to make such a payment upon the completion of the Delaware Merger.

In determining fair value, the Delaware Court of Chancery is to take into account all relevant factors. In Weinberger v. UOP, Inc., et al., the Delaware Supreme Court stated that “proof of value by any techniques or methods which are generally considered acceptable in the financial community and otherwise admissible in court” should be considered in an appraisal proceeding and that “[f]air price obviously requires consideration of all relevant factors involving the value of a company.” The Delaware Supreme Court has stated that in making this determination of fair value the court must consider market value, asset value, dividends, earnings prospects, the nature of the enterprise and any other facts which could be ascertained as of the date of the Delaware Merger which throw any light on future prospects of the merged corporation. Section 262 provides that fair value is to be determined “exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger.” In Cede & Co. v. Technicolor, Inc., the Delaware Supreme Court stated that such exclusion is a “narrow exclusion [that] does not encompass known elements of value,” but which rather applies only to the speculative elements of value arising from such accomplishment or expectation. In Weinberger, the Delaware Supreme Court construed Section 262 to mean that “elements of future value, including the nature of the enterprise, which are known or susceptible of proof as of the date of the merger and not the product of speculation, may be considered.”

Stockholders considering seeking appraisal should bear in mind that the fair value of such stockholders’ shares determined under Section 262 could be more than, the same as, or less than the Delaware Merger Consideration such stockholders are entitled to receive pursuant to the Merger Agreement if such stockholders do not seek appraisal of such stockholders’ shares, and that opinions of investment banking firms as to the fairness from a financial point of view of the consideration payable in a transaction are not opinions as to fair value under Section 262. Inphi reserves the right to assert, in any appraisal proceeding, that for purposes of Section 262, the “fair value” of an Inphi Share is less than the applicable Delaware Merger Consideration.

The cost of the appraisal proceeding may be determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery and charged upon the parties as the Delaware Court of Chancery deems equitable in the circumstances. However, costs do not include attorneys’ and expert witness fees. The Delaware Court of Chancery may order that all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with an appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and the fees and expenses of experts, be charged pro rata against the value of all shares entitled to appraisal. In the absence of such a determination of assessment, each party bears such party’s own expenses.

From and after the date of completion of the Delaware Merger, any stockholder who has duly demanded appraisal in compliance with Section 262 will not, after completion of the Delaware Merger, be entitled to vote for any purpose any shares subject to such demand or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on such shares, except for dividends or distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date prior to completion of the Delaware Merger.

Within 10 days after the completion of the Delaware Merger, the Surviving Delaware Corporation must give notice of the date that the merger became effective to each of Inphi stockholders who has properly filed a written demand for appraisal, who did not vote in favor of the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and who has otherwise complied with Section 262. At any time within 60 days after completion of the Delaware Merger, any stockholder who has demanded appraisal and who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party will have the right to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the cash and HoldCo Shares to which the stockholder is entitled pursuant to the Merger Agreement. After this period, the stockholder may withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal only with the written approval of the Surviving Delaware Corporation. If no petition for appraisal is filed with the Delaware Court of Chancery within 120 days after completion of the Delaware Merger, stockholders’ rights to appraisal will cease and all stockholders will be entitled only to receive the Delaware Merger Consideration as provided for in the Merger Agreement. No petition timely filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery demanding appraisal will be dismissed as to any stockholders without the approval of the Delaware Court of Chancery, and that approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Delaware Court of Chancery deems just. However, the preceding sentence will not affect the right of any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined the proceeding as a named party to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the Delaware Merger within 60 days after completion of the Delaware Merger.

The foregoing is a brief summary of Section 262 that sets forth the procedures for demanding statutory appraisal rights. This summary, however, is not a complete statement of all applicable requirements and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Section 262, a copy of the text of which is attached as Annex H to this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Failure to comply strictly with all the procedures set forth in Section 262 may result in the loss of a stockholder’s statutory appraisal rights. Consequently, if you wish to exercise your appraisal rights, you are strongly urged to consult a legal advisor before attempting to exercise your appraisal rights.

PROPOSAL 1—THE INPHI MERGER PROPOSAL

The Inphi stockholders are being asked to approve the Inphi Merger Proposal, including the adoption of the Merger Agreement. Approval of the Inphi Merger Proposal is a condition to the completion of the Mergers.

The Inphi Board unanimously (i) determined that the Merger Agreement and the Delaware Merger are advisable and fair to and in the best interests of Inphi and its stockholders, (ii) approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Delaware Merger, in accordance with the DGCL, and (iii) recommended that Inphi stockholders vote to adopt the Merger Agreement at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting.

The approval of the Inphi Merger Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the Inphi Shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the close of business on the Inphi Record Date in person or represented by proxy at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting (provided a quorum is present).

The Inphi Board unanimously recommends that Inphi stockholders

vote “FOR” the approval of the Inphi Merger Proposal.

##### Table of Contents

PROPOSAL 2—THE INPHI ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

Inphi stockholders are being asked to approve a proposal to adjourn the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to permit further solicitation of proxies if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Inphi Stockholder Meeting to approve the Inphi Merger Proposal. Any determination of whether it is necessary to adjourn the Inphi Stockholder Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof) to solicit additional proxies will be made solely by Inphi consistent with the terms of the Merger Agreement or with the consent of Marvell.

If this proposal is approved, the Inphi Stockholder Meeting could be adjourned to any date. If the Inphi Stockholder Meeting is adjourned, Inphi stockholders who have already submitted such stockholders’ proxies will be able to revoke them at any time prior to their use. If you sign and return a proxy and do not indicate how you wish to vote on the Inphi Adjournment Proposal, your shares will be voted in favor of the Inphi Adjournment Proposal, but if you indicate that you wish to vote against the approval of the Inphi Merger Proposal, your shares will only be voted in favor of the Inphi Adjournment Proposal if you indicate that you wish to vote in favor of such proposal.

Please note that pursuant to Article II, Section 8 of the Inphi Bylaws, a majority of the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote, though less than a quorum, or any officer entitled to preside at such meeting, shall be entitled to adjourn such meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. When a meeting is adjourned to another place, date or time, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the place, date and time are announced at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, provided, however, that if the date of the adjourned meeting is more than thirty (30) days after the original date of the Inphi Stockholder Meeting, or if a new record date is fixed, written notice of the place, if any, date, time and means of remote communications, if any, of the adjourned meeting must be given in conformity with the Inphi Bylaws.

To approve the Inphi Adjournment Proposal the affirmative vote of a majority of the Inphi stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting and entitled to vote (regardless of whether a quorum is present) is required.

The Inphi Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the Inphi Adjournment Proposal.

PROPOSAL 3—THE INPHI COMPENSATION PROPOSAL

Inphi is providing its stockholders with the opportunity to approve a non-binding, advisory resolution on the compensation that may become payable to Inphi’s named executive officers in connection with the completion of the Mergers, as required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010.

The compensation that Inphi’s named executive officers may be entitled to receive from Inphi in connection with the Mergers is summarized in the table under “The Mergers—Interests of Inphi Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers—Golden Parachute Compensation.” That summary includes all compensation and benefits that will or may be paid or provided by Inphi to its named executive officers in connection with the Mergers, including as a result of a termination of employment in connection with the Mergers.

The Inphi Board encourages you to review carefully the information regarding compensation that will or may be paid or provided by Inphi to its named executive officers in connection with the Mergers disclosed in this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

The Inphi Board unanimously recommends that the Inphi stockholders approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders of Inphi approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, compensation that will or may be paid or provided by Inphi to its named executive officers in connection with the Mergers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K in the table included in the section titled “The Mergers—Interests of Inphi Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers—Golden Parachute Compensation” and the related narrative disclosures.”

The vote to approve the Inphi Compensation Proposal is a vote separate and apart from the vote to approve the Inphi Merger Proposal. Accordingly, you may vote to approve the Inphi Merger Proposal and vote not to approve this Inphi Compensation Proposal and vice versa. Because the vote on the Inphi Compensation Proposal is advisory only, it will not be binding on either Inphi or Marvell. Accordingly, if the Inphi Merger Proposal is approved by Inphi stockholders and the Mergers are completed, the compensation payments that are contractually required to be paid by Inphi to its named executive officers will or may be paid, subject only to the conditions applicable thereto, regardless of the outcome of the non-binding, advisory vote of Inphi stockholders.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Inphi Shares present or represented by proxy at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting and entitled to vote (provided a quorum is present) will be required to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the Inphi Compensation Proposal.

The Inphi Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the

approval of the Inphi Compensation Proposal.

THE MERGERS

Overview

The Marvell Board approved the Merger Agreement and the Statutory Merger Agreement attached hereto as Annexes B and C, respectively, and the Inphi Board approved the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Statutory Merger Agreement, Bermuda Merger Sub will be merged with and into Marvell, with Marvell continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Delaware Merger Sub will be merged with and into Inphi, with Inphi continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo. Upon completion of the Mergers, former Marvell shareholders and former Inphi stockholders will own HoldCo Shares, which are expected to be listed for trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “MRVL.”

At the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement and the Statutory Merger Agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bermuda Companies Act, each Marvell Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time (other than Marvell Shares held by Marvell, HoldCo, Bermuda Merger Sub or Inphi or any other subsidiary of Marvell or Inphi) will be converted into the right to receive one HoldCo Share. At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of Delaware law, each Inphi Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time (other than (i) Inphi Shares held by Inphi, Marvell, HoldCo, Delaware Merger Sub or any other subsidiary of Marvell or Inphi and (ii) Inphi Shares with respect to which appraisal rights are properly exercised and not withdrawn under Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive 2.323 HoldCo Shares and $66.00 in cash, without interest, plus cash in lieu of any fractional HoldCo Shares.

Background of the Mergers

The Inphi Board, acting independently and with the advice of Inphi’s management team, periodically and in the ordinary course of business, reviews and assesses the operations, financial performance, growth prospects and industry conditions of Inphi in light of the current business and economic environment and in consideration of its long-term business strategy to enhance value for its stockholders. From time to time, the Inphi Board and management team have evaluated and considered a variety of potential financial and strategic options in light of industry developments and changing economic and market conditions.

The Marvell Board and Marvell’s management team regularly review Marvell’s performance, future growth prospects and overall strategic direction and consider potential opportunities to strengthen Marvell’s businesses and enhance shareholder value. This entails reviewing Marvell’s strategy as a stand-alone company and considering potential opportunities for business combinations, acquisitions and other financial and strategic alternatives.

From time to time, Dr. Ford Tamer, the President and Chief Executive Officer of, and a director of, Inphi, discussed Inphi’s industry and business generally, as well as potential strategic opportunities, with executives of other companies, including Matt Murphy, the President and Chief Executive Officer of, and a director of, Marvell.

In September 2017, Dr. Tamer and Mr. Murphy had a meeting in which they discussed their respective businesses and the possibility of a potential strategic transaction between Marvell and Inphi. Shortly thereafter, Dr. Tamer met with Gary Ignatin, Senior Vice President Corporate Development of Marvell, to discuss Inphi’s products, markets and customers and the possibility of a potential strategic transaction.

In March 2018, following the announcement of Marvell’s entry into a definitive agreement to acquire Cavium, Inc. (“Cavium”), Mr. Ignatin reached out to Dr. Tamer regarding the continued possibility of a potential strategic transaction between Marvell and Inphi. Dr. Tamer indicated that it would be better to continue discussions

89

##### Table of Contents

regarding a potential strategic transaction after Marvell completed the acquisition and subsequent integration with Cavium. Following Dr. Tamer’s conversation with Mr. Ignatin, Dr. Tamer and Mr. Murphy periodically discussed their respective businesses.

In July 2019, Dr. Tamer received an unsolicited inquiry from a large company in the semiconductor industry with businesses serving the data center and networking infrastructure markets (“Party A”) regarding a potential strategic transaction (which did not include price or other terms). Following such inquiry, between July and November of 2019, at the direction of the Inphi Board, Inphi’s management team and representatives of Qatalyst Partners held discussions with Party A about a possible strategic transaction. Discussions with Party A were discontinued due to concerns about regulatory aspects of a potential strategic transaction between Inphi and Party A. Between August and October 2019, at the direction of the Inphi Board, Inphi’s management team and representatives of Qatalyst Partners reached out to four additional parties, including Marvell, and had preliminary discussions with each regarding a potential strategic transaction. Similar to Party A, all four parties were in the semiconductor industry with businesses serving the data center and networking infrastructure markets. The Inphi Board determined that these parties might have a strategic interest and the financial resources to complete a strategic transaction with Inphi. However, discussions with these four parties did not proceed beyond preliminary stages and were discontinued at that time given their lack of interest. Inphi entered into an engagement letter with Qatalyst Partners on September 4, 2019 for Qatalyst Partners to serve as Inphi’s financial advisor to assist the Inphi Board in evaluating any potential strategic transaction based on Qatalyst Partners’ qualifications, expertise, reputation and knowledge of Inphi’s business and the industry in which Inphi operates.

On October 7, 2019, Dr. Tamer and Mr. Murphy had a meeting and discussed the possibility of a potential strategic transaction between Marvell and Inphi. Mr. Murphy explained that he believed the strategic fit of the two companies was compelling, but that Marvell had several pending announced transactions that needed to be completed before Marvell could pursue any such transaction with Inphi, and that the valuation of Inphi would need to be further discussed. No price or other specific terms were discussed, but Dr. Tamer and Mr. Murphy agreed to stay in touch.

All of Inphi’s discussions with third parties, including Marvell, regarding potential strategic transactions ceased in November 2019 without any proposals or offers having been made.

In April and May 2020, the Corporate Development group of Marvell prepared an updated business case and financial analysis of a potential strategic transaction between Marvell and Inphi, which was presented to Mr. Murphy and other members of Marvell’s management team on June 23, 2020. During this meeting, certain attendees noted concerns about the valuation of Inphi relative to Marvell and decided to take no action at that time.

In mid-August 2020, Mr. Murphy requested a further updated financial analysis of a potential strategic transaction between Marvell and Inphi, as well as an analysis of certain other potential strategic transactions. Following the announcement of Marvell’s second quarter earnings for its 2021 fiscal year, Mr. Murphy and other members of Marvell’s management team met on August 28, 2020 to review the updated financial analysis. During this meeting, certain attendees noted that the financial case for pursuing a potential strategic transaction with Inphi had significantly improved due to recent changes in Marvell’s share price, relative to Inphi’s share price.

On September 1, 2020, Mr. Murphy contacted a representative of J.P. Morgan to discuss the potential engagement of J.P. Morgan as financial advisor to Marvell in connection with Marvell’s evaluation of a potential transaction between Marvell and Inphi.

On September 17, 2020, Mr. Murphy spoke by telephone with Dr. Tamer, and Mr. Murphy again raised the possibility of a potential strategic transaction between Marvell and Inphi. Mr. Murphy requested a follow-up meeting to review Inphi’s business with a small number of attendees from each company. No price or other

90

##### Table of Contents

specific terms were discussed on this call. Following this call, Dr. Tamer notified representatives of Qatalyst Partners of his communication with Mr. Murphy.

Also on September 17, 2020, Marvell contacted a representative of Hogan Lovells to discuss the potential engagement of Hogan Lovells as outside counsel to Marvell in connection with Marvell’s evaluation of a potential transaction between Marvell and Inphi.

On September 18, 2020, Marvell delivered to Inphi a draft mutual non-disclosure agreement with respect to a potential strategic transaction. This draft mutual non-disclosure agreement did not include a standstill provision or an employee non-solicitation provision.

On September 20, 2020, representatives of Inphi exchanged emails with representatives of Marvell in which Inphi’s representatives indicated that Inphi would be willing to enter into the mutual non-disclosure agreement proposed by Marvell for purposes of engaging in initial discussions with respect to a potential strategic transaction, but that Inphi would later require the mutual non-disclosure agreement be amended to include a standstill restriction applicable to Marvell and an employee non-solicitation provision if the parties decided to pursue further discussions. Later on September 20, 2020, Marvell and Inphi entered into a mutual non-disclosure agreement with respect to a potential strategic transaction that did not include a standstill provision or an employee non-solicitation provision.

On September 21, 2020, the Inphi Board held a meeting with representatives of Qatalyst Partners and Pillsbury in attendance. At the meeting, Dr. Tamer notified the Inphi Board about the communication received from Mr. Murphy on September 17, 2020. The Inphi Board discussed the advantages and disadvantages of continuing discussions with Marvell and approaching other third parties to gauge their interest in pursuing discussions regarding a potential strategic transaction, and reviewed previous discussions between Inphi and third parties regarding a potential strategic transaction, which had not led to any proposals or offers being made. Following the discussion, the Inphi Board directed Inphi’s management team to continue initial discussions with Marvell and to provide preliminary information to Marvell regarding Inphi’s business. The Inphi Board determined that, given the past conversations with those other parties, the current market environment and recent strategic events, none of the other parties contacted in 2019 were likely to have an interest in pursuing a transaction with Inphi, and contacting parties unlikely to have a serious interest in pursuing a transaction with Inphi could have an adverse impact on Inphi and its business. The Inphi Board also determined that Dr. Tamer should reach out to one potential strategic party that was not contacted in 2019. Such strategic party was also in the semiconductor industry with businesses serving the data center and networking infrastructure markets, and the Inphi Board determined such strategic party may have a strategic interest and the financial resources to complete a strategic transaction with Inphi. Dr. Tamer had a conversation with the chief executive officer of such strategic party and they did not express any interest in proceeding with a strategic transaction with Inphi.

Later on September 21, 2020, the management teams of Inphi and Marvell held a meeting where each company shared an overview of its business and its current business outlook with the other company and discussed the potential for synergy opportunities generally.

On September 22, 2020, an additional meeting was held by a subset of the management teams of Marvell and Inphi, including Jean Hu, Marvell’s Chief Financial Officer, and John Edmunds, Inphi’s Chief Financial Officer, to discuss certain financial information of Inphi relating to the potential for synergy opportunities, including with respect to operating costs.

Also on September 22, 2020, Mr. Murphy spoke by telephone with Dr. Tamer and again discussed a potential strategic transaction, including the strategic benefits of such a potential transaction and ways to effectively integrate the two companies. Mr. Murphy noted that the Marvell Board had a meeting scheduled for September 24 and 25, 2020 and that he would discuss a potential strategic transaction with Inphi, the strategic implications of such a transaction and whether, based on the information provided to date, such a transaction would be aligned with Marvell’s long-term strategy.

##### Table of Contents

On September 25, 2020, the Marvell Board held a meeting in which members of Marvell’s management team and representatives of J.P. Morgan participated. During this meeting, members of Marvell’s management team presented the business and financial case for a strategic transaction between Marvell and Inphi and updated the Marvell Board on the meetings and discussions that had taken place between representatives of Marvell and representatives of Inphi. Among other topics, the Marvell Board, members of Marvell’s management team and representatives of J.P. Morgan also discussed the relative merits of using stock consideration versus cash consideration, the possibility of Inphi receiving competing transaction proposals, potential negotiating strategies and possible future market conditions. Following this discussion at the meeting, the Marvell Board authorized Marvell’s management team to continue to pursue a potential strategic transaction with Inphi and to make an initial proposal to Inphi.

Between September 25, 2020 and October 28, 2020, Mr. Murphy regularly provided e-mail and telephonic updates to the Marvell Board on the status of the discussions that were taking place between representatives of Marvell and representatives of Inphi and received strategic advice and input from Marvell directors as those discussions progressed.

On September 26, 2020, Mr. Murphy spoke by telephone with Dr. Tamer to provide an update regarding the meeting of the Marvell Board. Mr. Murphy noted that the Marvell Board was supportive of further discussions but had requested additional due diligence information. Dr. Tamer stated that Marvell would need to provide an indication of interest to Inphi before Inphi would be willing to provide additional due diligence information.

On September 27, 2020, Mr. Murphy spoke by telephone with Dr. Tamer and again discussed a potential strategic transaction, with Mr. Murphy requesting additional diligence and meetings. Dr. Tamer reiterated the need for an indication of interest from Marvell so the Inphi Board could properly assess the potential value of a potential transaction to Inphi stockholders before Inphi continued discussions.

On September 29, 2020, Mr. Murphy spoke by telephone with Dr. Tamer. During this call, Mr. Murphy conveyed to Dr. Tamer a preliminary non-binding proposal contemplating the purchase by Marvell of all outstanding Inphi Shares at a price of $145.00 per share, 25% of which would be paid in cash and the remaining 75% of which would be paid in shares of stock. Mr. Murphy also indicated that Marvell would be willing to pay 100% of the consideration contemplated by this proposal in stock. The per share price proposed represented a premium of approximately 30% over Inphi’s closing share price on September 29, 2020. Mr. Murphy also expressed a desire to enter into an exclusivity agreement with Inphi, and a desire that negotiations be finalized by November 3, 2020 given the potential for stock market uncertainty and volatility that could result from the upcoming United States elections.

On September 30, 2020, the Inphi Board held a meeting, with representatives of Qatalyst Partners and Pillsbury in attendance, to discuss the most recent proposal from Marvell. The directors discussed the terms of the proposal, including the amount and form of the consideration, and considered Inphi’s strategic plans as a standalone company, the value of a potential strategic transaction with Marvell to Inphi stockholders, and other strategic alternatives available to Inphi. The Inphi Board also discussed the potential upsides and downsides to having a fixed exchange ratio for the stock portion of the consideration. Representatives of Qatalyst Partners also reviewed with the Inphi Board certain financial aspects of the proposal and the proposed strategic transaction. The Inphi Board discussed other potential strategic parties, the discussions in the fall of 2019 with a number of parties about a potential strategic transaction, the fact that none of them had elected to pursue discussions regarding a potential strategic transaction with Inphi or to make a proposal or offer, industry trends affecting the business of such other potential strategic parties and the fact that certain of such other parties were currently already involved, or rumored to be involved, in other strategic transactions. The Inphi Board also discussed the fact that the potential strategic party contacted by Dr. Tamer following the September 21, 2020 meeting of the Inphi Board had met with Inphi’s management team earlier that day and had declined to engage in discussions with Inphi regarding a potential strategic transaction. Following such discussions, the Inphi Board determined that it was unlikely that an offer would result from any of such other parties and concluded that continuing

92

##### Table of Contents

discussions with Marvell would likely improve Marvell’s understanding of Inphi’s business and its potential value. The Inphi Board also considered the fact that other parties would not be precluded from making a superior proposal, including after a transaction with Marvell would be announced, if they were in fact interested. Following a discussion, the Inphi Board instructed Inphi’s management team and Qatalyst Partners to continue discussions with Marvell and to make a counterproposal that contemplated a higher overall valuation of Inphi, with at least 40% of the consideration being in cash, and to not enter into an exclusivity agreement with Marvell unless and until Marvell made a proposal reasonably acceptable to the Inphi Board.

Later on September 30, 2020, Mr. Murphy spoke by telephone with Dr. Tamer. During this call, Dr. Tamer indicated that Inphi needed to consider Marvell’s proposal and to consider an appropriate response, and that it would take some additional time before he could provide feedback.

During this call, Dr. Tamer communicated to Mr. Murphy that the Inphi Board viewed Marvell’s $145.00 per share proposal as unacceptable, but reiterated Inphi’s continued interest in pursuing a potential strategic transaction with Marvell and indicated that a purchase price of $175.00 per share, 55% of which would be paid in cash and the remaining 45% of which would be paid in shares of stock, would be acceptable to Inphi. Dr. Tamer also indicated that Inphi’s revenue forecast for fiscal year 2021 had improved significantly in recent weeks. Mr. Murphy requested additional due diligence meetings and additional financial information regarding Inphi’s financial forecasts, and Dr. Tamer agreed to schedule due diligence meetings on October 4, 2020.

The per share price proposed represented a premium of approximately 33% over Inphi’s closing share price on October 6, 2020. Dr. Tamer told Mr. Murphy that Marvell’s proposal still undervalued Inphi. Dr. Tamer then proposed a purchase price of $168.00 per share, 40% of which would be paid in cash and the remaining 60% of which would be paid in shares of stock, based on prior direction from the Inphi Board.

The Inphi Board discussed the potential value of the transaction to Inphi stockholders, and the strategic alternatives available to Inphi, including continuing as a standalone public company and pursuing a transaction with a different strategic party. The Inphi Board discussed other potential strategic parties, discussions with such parties in 2019 and 2020 about a potential strategic transaction, the fact that none of them had elected to make a proposal or offer or pursue discussions regarding a strategic transaction with Inphi, and industry trends affecting the businesses of such other parties. Following such discussions, the Inphi Board determined that it continued to be unlikely that an offer would be made by any of such parties, but directed Inphi’s management team to ensure that the terms of any definitive agreement entered into with Marvell, if the parties decided to pursue such a transaction, would not prevent the Inphi Board from considering a superior offer if one were made. Representatives of Pillsbury discussed with the Inphi Board its fiduciary duties in the context of considering a sale of Inphi. The Inphi Board directed Inphi’s management team to provide a counterproposal of $165 per share with at least 40% of the consideration in cash.

Many of the factors considered supported the determinations and recommendations made by the Marvell Board, including the following (not in any relative order of importance):

| • |  | the expectation that the addition of Inphi’s growth opportunities, including in PAM4 and Coherent DSPs, broadband analog components, silicon photonics and packaging for electro-optics solutions, will allow the combined company to pursue an aggregate serviceable addressable market of $23 billion;

| • |  | the opportunities that the greater product and market diversification of the combined company are expected to create given the increasing importance of electro-optics as a networking technology and the increasing value of optical solutions as a percentage of overall customer spend;

| • |  | the highly complementary and generally non-overlapping product portfolios and end-market exposure of the businesses of Marvell and Inphi and the expectation that Marvell and Inphi combined will be able to create the necessary scale to deliver more innovative and diversified solutions to customers;

| • |  | the opportunity to further expand research and development activities in growth markets and continue to improve customer relationships through execution excellence;

The Marvell Board also considered the following specific aspects of the Merger Agreement:

| • |  | the fact that the Marvell Exchange Ratio and the Inphi Exchange Ratio are each fixed and will not be adjusted to compensate for any decrease in the trading price of Marvell Shares prior to the completion of the Mergers, which provides certainty to Marvell shareholders as to their pro forma percentage ownership of the number of HoldCo Shares outstanding immediately after the completion of the Mergers (as more fully described in the section titled “The Merger Agreement—Merger Consideration”);

| • |  | the belief of the Marvell Board, following consultation with its advisors and after its review of the terms of the proposed Debt Financing, and based in part upon the Debt Commitment Letters, that it was likely that Marvell would be able to obtain the necessary Debt Financing, and that after completing the Mergers, Marvell would be able to repay, service or refinance the indebtedness incurred in connection with the Debt Financing and, to the extent such indebtedness remains outstanding, to comply with the financial covenants applicable to such indebtedness;

In the course of its deliberations, the Marvell Board also considered a variety of risks and other potentially negative factors, including the following (which are not in any relative order of importance):

| • |  | the challenges of retaining Inphi employees following completion of the Mergers in light of the differences between the employee compensation practices and employee leveling and title practices at Inphi and Marvell, respectively;

| • |  | the risk that the Debt Financing, as well as Marvell’s obligations under the Merger Agreement, may prevent Marvell from acting upon other strategic opportunities that may present themselves, either prior to or after the completion of the Mergers;

| • |  | the risk that certain Marvell customers and partners that compete with Inphi, and that certain Inphi customers and partners that compete with Marvell, may be more reluctant to work with or award future business to Marvell and Inphi combined;

| • |  | the potential that the fixed exchange ratio with respect to the Delaware Merger Consideration could result in Marvell delivering greater value to Inphi stockholders than had been anticipated by Marvell if the value of Marvell Shares increases after the date of the Merger Agreement;

##### Table of Contents

The factors set forth above are not intended to be exhaustive, but include many of the material factors considered by the Marvell Board in approving the Bermuda Merger, the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement and the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment, in authorizing the execution of the Merger Agreement and related transaction documents and in recommending that Marvell shareholders vote in favor of the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal and the Marvell Merger Proposal. In view of the wide variety of factors considered in connection with making its determinations and recommendations, and the complexity of these matters, the Marvell Board did not find it useful to, and did not attempt to, quantify or assign any relative or specific weights to the various factors considered in reaching its determination to approve the Bermuda Merger, the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement and the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment and to recommend that Marvell shareholders vote in favor of the Marvell Bye-Law Amendment Proposal and the Marvell Merger Proposal. In addition, individual members of the Marvell Board may have given different weights to different factors. The Marvell Board carefully considered all of the factors described above as a whole.

Inphi’s Reasons for the Mergers and Recommendation of the Inphi Board

The Inphi Board unanimously recommends that Inphi stockholders vote “FOR” each of (i) the approval of the Inphi Merger Proposal, (ii) the approval of the Inphi Adjournment Proposal, and (iii) the approval of the Inphi Compensation Proposal at the Inphi Stockholder Meeting.

In evaluating the proposed Mergers, the Inphi Board consulted with Inphi’s management and Inphi’s legal and financial advisors and, in reaching its determination and recommendation, the Inphi Board considered a number of factors. The Inphi Board also consulted with Inphi’s legal counsel regarding its legal obligations, legal due diligence matters and the legal terms of the Merger Agreement and Inphi’s financial advisor regarding the financial terms of the Merger Agreement.

Many of the factors considered supported the conclusion of the Inphi Board that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Mergers, are advisable and fair to and in the best interests of Inphi and its stockholders, including the following:

| • |  | the growing challenges faced by the semiconductor industry, including macroeconomic trends and the fact that the industry is highly competitive, cyclical and subject to constant and rapid technological change with increasingly higher costs of development and manufacturing coupled with short product life-cycles for certain products, wide fluctuations in product supply and demand and increased costs associated in developing such products;

| • |  | the opportunity to position the combined company as the leader in data infrastructure by it having a larger number of distinct products to sell than each company did separately and to expand the company’s addressable market and diversify the risk of development from a market of approximately $3 billion to an addressable market of $23 billion;

| • |  | the opportunity to increase scale and reduce unit costs, which will facilitate the sale of products in the cloud data center and 5G wireless markets;

| • |  | the opportunity to combine resources, including consolidating and reducing areas of overlap in operating and other expenses, such as the expenses of maintaining two separate public companies;

| • |  | the opportunity to combine expertise, including the skills of experienced managers in the semiconductor industry, to better meet the needs of the customers of both Inphi and Marvell;

| • |  | the financial strength of the combined company;

| • |  | the fact that the consideration proposed by Marvell reflected extensive negotiations between the parties and their respective advisors, and the Inphi Board’s belief that the agreed Delaware Merger Consideration represented the best proposal and economic value available to Inphi stockholders;

106

##### Table of Contents

| • |  | the fact that the stock component of the Delaware Merger Consideration offers Inphi stockholders an opportunity to participate in future earnings and growth of the combined company, while also providing Inphi stockholders with a cash payment of $66.00 per share, which provides certainty of value for a portion of the Delaware Merger Consideration;

| • |  | the historical share prices of Inphi and Marvell, including the fact that the implied value of the Delaware Merger Consideration of $162.33 per share (based on the price per Marvell Share of $41.47 on October 27, 2020, the last trading day prior to the approval by the Inphi Board of the Merger Agreement) represents a premium of approximately 43% based on the closing price per Inphi Share of $113.88 on October 27, 2020 (the last trading day prior to the approval by the Inphi Board of the Merger Agreement) and represents a premium of approximately 20% based on the all-time highest closing price per Inphi Share of $135.23 on August 3, 2020;

| • |  | the expectation that the Mergers will result in greater long-term stockholder value than might result from other alternatives available to Inphi, including seeking an alternative transaction with another third party or remaining an independent public company, in each case, considering the potential for Inphi stockholders to share in any future earnings growth of Inphi’s business, and the continued expenses of operating a public company;

| • |  | the Inphi Board’s familiarity with, and understanding of, Inphi’s business, assets, financial condition, results of operations, current business strategy and prospects, and the risks facing the semiconductor industry and Inphi;

| • |  | information, diligence and discussions with Inphi’s management and advisors regarding Marvell’s business, assets, financial condition, results of operations, current business strategy and prospects, including the projected long-term financial results of Marvell as a standalone company, the size and scale of the combined company and the expected pro forma effect of the proposed Mergers on the combined company;

| • |  | the oral opinion of Qatalyst Partners, which was subsequently confirmed in writing, to the effect that as of October 28, 2020, and based upon and subject to the various assumptions, qualifications, limitations and other matters set forth therein, the Delaware Merger Consideration to be received pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement by the holders of Inphi Shares, other than Marvell or any affiliate of Marvell, was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders, as more fully described in the section titled “The Mergers—Opinion of Inphi’s Financial Advisor, Qatalyst Partners.” The full text of Qatalyst Partners’ written opinion is attached as Annex D to this joint proxy statement/prospectus, and Inphi stockholders are urged to read this written opinion in its entirety;

| • |  | the fact that the Inphi Board had carefully evaluated, in consultation with Inphi’s management and its financial and legal advisors, various strategic alternatives available to Inphi, including remaining an independent company or pursuing other alternative transactions, and exploring the possibility of potential strategic transactions with other potential buyers, none of whom made proposals or offers or engaged in substantive discussions concerning a potential strategic transaction with Inphi;

| • |  | the commitment that the Chief Executive Officer of Inphi at the Delaware Merger Effective Time will become a member of the HoldCo Board as of the Delaware Merger Effective Time, which will provide additional semiconductor industry expertise to the HoldCo Board and guidance on the integration of Inphi and Marvell;

| • |  | the nature of the conditions to completion of the Mergers included in the Merger Agreement, as well as the likelihood of satisfaction of all of the conditions to the completion of the proposed Mergers;

| • |  | the obligation of the parties to use reasonable best efforts to obtain approvals or clearances from applicable antitrust and competition authorities, including by furnishing certain information and agreeing to certain divestitures, hold separates and other conduct remedies (provided that Marvell will not be required to, among other things, take any actions which would reasonably be expected to result

| • |  | Inphi’s right to engage in negotiations with, and provide information to, a third party that makes an unsolicited written Inphi Acquisition Proposal that is received prior to the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Required Inphi Stockholder Vote, if the Inphi Board determines in good faith, after having taken into account the advice of an independent financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and Inphi’s outside legal counsel, that (a) such Inphi Acquisition Proposal is, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Inphi Superior Offer, and (b) the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the Inphi Board’s fiduciary obligations to Inphi stockholders under Delaware law, subject to certain conditions (as more fully described in the section titled “The Merger Agreement—No Solicitation or Discussions by Inphi”);

| • |  | the right of the Inphi Board to change its recommendation with respect to the Inphi Merger Proposal, including to recommend an Inphi Superior Offer, if the Inphi Board has determined in good faith, after having taken into account the advice of an independent financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and Inphi’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the Inphi Board’s fiduciary obligations to Inphi stockholders under Delaware law, subject to certain conditions (including in connection with a termination of the Merger Agreement by Marvell as a result of such change of recommendation by the Inphi Board, or a termination of the Merger Agreement by Inphi to enter into a definitive acquisition agreement relating to such Inphi Superior Offer, the payment by Inphi to Marvell of a $300 million termination fee) (as more fully described in the section titled “The Merger Agreement—No Solicitation or Discussions by Inphi”);

| • |  | the right of Inphi and Marvell to specific performance to prevent breaches of, and to enforce the terms of, Merger Agreement (as more fully described in the section titled “The Merger Agreement—Enforcement; Remedies”);

| • |  | the requirement that Inphi or Marvell pay a termination fee to the other party under certain circumstances specified in the Merger Agreement (as more fully described in the section titled “The Merger Agreement—Transaction Expenses and Termination Fees”).

In the course of its deliberations, the Inphi Board also considered a variety of risks and other potentially negative factors, including the following (which are not in any relative order of importance):

| • |  | the possibility that the Mergers may not be completed or that completion may be unduly delayed for reasons beyond the control of Inphi and/or Marvell, including the potential length of the regulatory

| • |  | the fact that the Inphi Exchange Ratio is fixed, indicating that Inphi stockholders could be adversely affected by a decrease in the trading price of Marvell Shares during the pendency of the proposed Mergers and the fact that the Merger Agreement does not provide Inphi with a price-based termination right or other similar protection in favor of Inphi or its stockholders;

| • |  | the potential for diversion of management and employee attention and for increased employee attrition during the period prior to completion of the proposed Mergers, and the potential effect of the proposed Mergers on Inphi’s business and relations with customers, suppliers and strategic partners;

| • |  | the restrictions on the conduct of Inphi’s business prior to completion of the proposed Mergers, requiring Inphi to conduct its business and operations in the ordinary course in all material respects and in accordance with past practice, subject to specific limitations, which could delay or prevent Inphi from undertaking business opportunities that may arise pending completion of the Mergers and could negatively impact Inphi’s ability to attract and retain employees and negatively impact decisions of customers, suppliers and strategic partners;

| • |  | the difficulty inherent in integrating the businesses, assets and workforces of two large companies and the risk that anticipated strategic and other benefits to Inphi and Marvell following completion of the proposed Mergers, including any expected synergies, will not be realized or will take longer to realize than expected;

| • |  | the transaction costs and retention costs to be incurred in connection with the proposed Mergers, regardless of whether the proposed Mergers are completed;

| • |  | the fact that the Merger Agreement includes restrictions on the ability of Inphi to solicit proposals for alternative transactions or engage in discussions regarding such proposals, subject to certain exceptions (as more fully described in the section titled “The Merger Agreement—No Solicitation or Discussions by Inphi”);

| • |  | Marvell’s right to engage in negotiations with, and provide information to, a third party that makes a certain unsolicited written Disruptive Marvell Acquisition Proposal that is received prior to the approval of the Marvell Merger Proposal by the Required Marvell Shareholder Vote if the Marvell Board determines in good faith, after having taken into account the advice of an independent financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and Marvell’s outside legal counsel, that (a) such Disruptive Marvell Acquisition Proposal is, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Disruptive Marvell Superior Offer and (b) the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the Marvell Board’s fiduciary obligations to Marvell shareholders under Bermuda law, subject to certain conditions (as more fully described in the section titled “The Merger Agreement—No Solicitation or Discussions by Marvell Relating to Disruptive Marvell Acquisition Proposals”);

The Inphi Board considered all of these factors as a whole, and, on balance, concluded that it supported a determination to approve the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Mergers. The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the Inphi Board is not exhaustive. In view of the wide variety of factors considered by the Inphi Board in connection with its evaluation of the proposed Mergers and the complexity of these matters, the Inphi Board did not consider it practical to, nor did it attempt to, quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its decision. The Inphi Board evaluated the factors described above, among others, and concluded that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Mergers, were advisable, fair to and in the best interests of Inphi and its stockholders. In considering the factors described above and any other factors, individual members of the Inphi Board may have viewed factors differently or given different weight or merit to different factors.

In considering the recommendation of the Inphi Board to approve the Inphi Merger Proposal, Inphi stockholders should be aware that Inphi’s executive officers and directors may have interests in the Mergers that are different from, or in addition to, those of Inphi stockholders generally. The Inphi Board was aware of these interests during its deliberations on the merits of the Mergers and in deciding to recommend that Inphi stockholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Inphi Merger Proposal. See “The Mergers—Interests of Inphi Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers” for more information.

Opinion of Marvell’s Financial Advisor, J.P. Morgan

Pursuant to an engagement letter dated October 27, 2020, Marvell retained J.P. Morgan as its financial advisor in connection with the Mergers.

At the meeting of the Marvell Board on October 28, 2020, J.P. Morgan rendered its oral opinion to the Marvell Board that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth in its opinion, the Delaware Merger Consideration to be paid by HoldCo in the proposed Delaware Merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to Marvell. J.P. Morgan has confirmed its October 28, 2020 oral opinion by delivering its written opinion to the Marvell Board, dated October 28, 2020, that, as of such date and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth therein, the Delaware Merger Consideration to be paid by HoldCo in the proposed Delaware Merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to Marvell.

The full text of the written opinion of J.P. Morgan dated October 28, 2020, which sets forth the assumptions made, matters considered and limits on the review undertaken, is attached as Annex E to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated herein by reference. The summary of the opinion of J.P. Morgan set

forth in this joint proxy statement/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such

opinion. Marvell shareholders are urged to read the opinion in its entirety. J.P. Morgan’s written opinion was addressed to the Marvell Board (in its capacity as such) in connection with and for the purposes of its evaluation of the proposed Mergers, was directed only to the Delaware Merger Consideration to be paid in the Delaware Merger and did not address any other aspect of the Mergers. J.P. Morgan expressed no opinion as to the fairness of the consideration to the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of Marvell or as to the underlying decision by Marvell to engage in the proposed Mergers. The issuance of J.P. Morgan’s opinion was approved by a fairness committee of J.P. Morgan. The opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder of Marvell as to how such shareholder should vote with respect to the proposed Mergers or any other matter.

In arriving at its opinion, J.P. Morgan, among other things:

| • |  | reviewed a draft dated October 27, 2020 of the Merger Agreement;

| • |  | reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information concerning Inphi and Marvell and the industries in which they operate;

| • |  | compared the financial and operating performance of Inphi and Marvell with publicly available information concerning certain other companies J.P. Morgan deemed relevant and reviewed the current and historical market prices of Inphi Shares and certain publicly traded securities of such other companies;

| • |  | reviewed certain internal financial analyses and forecasts prepared by or at the direction of the management teams of Inphi and Marvell relating to their respective businesses, as well as the estimated amount and timing of the cost savings and related expenses expected to result from the Mergers (the “Marvell Projected Synergies”); and

| • |  | performed such other financial studies and analyses and considered such other information as J.P. Morgan deemed appropriate for the purposes of its opinion.

In addition, J.P. Morgan held discussions with certain members of the management of Inphi and Marvell with respect to certain aspects of the Mergers, and the past and current business operations of Inphi and Marvell, the financial condition and future prospects and operations of Inphi and Marvell, the effects of the Mergers on the financial condition and future prospects of Marvell, and certain other matters J.P. Morgan believed necessary or appropriate to its inquiry.

In giving its opinion, J.P. Morgan relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all information that was publicly available or was furnished to or discussed with J.P. Morgan by Inphi and Marvell or otherwise reviewed by or for J.P. Morgan. J.P. Morgan did not independently verify any such information or its accuracy or completeness and, pursuant to its engagement letter with Marvell, J.P. Morgan did not assume any obligation to undertake any such independent verification. J.P. Morgan did not conduct and was not provided with any valuation or appraisal of any assets or liabilities, nor did J.P. Morgan evaluate the solvency of Inphi or Marvell under any state, federal or foreign laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. In relying on financial analyses and forecasts provided to J.P. Morgan or derived therefrom, including financial analyses and forecasts relating to the Marvell Projected Synergies, J.P. Morgan assumed that they were reasonably prepared based on assumptions reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments by management as to the expected future results of operations and financial condition of Inphi and Marvell to which such analyses or forecasts relate. J.P. Morgan expressed no view as to such analyses or forecasts (including those relating to the Marvell Projected Synergies) or the assumptions on which they were based. J.P. Morgan also assumed that the Mergers will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for United States federal income tax purposes and will be consummated as described in the Merger Agreement and this joint proxy statement/prospectus, and that the definitive Merger Agreement would not differ in any material respect from the draft thereof provided to J.P. Morgan. J.P. Morgan also assumed that the representations and warranties made by Marvell and Inphi in the Merger Agreement and the related agreements were and will be true and correct in all respects material to its

111

##### Table of Contents

analysis. J.P Morgan is not a legal, regulatory or tax expert and relied on the assessments made by advisors to Marvell with respect to such issues. J.P. Morgan further assumed that all material governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the completion of the Mergers will be obtained without any adverse effect on Inphi or Marvell or on the contemplated benefits of the Mergers.

J.P. Morgan’s opinion was necessarily based on economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to J.P. Morgan as of, the date of such opinion. J.P. Morgan’s opinion noted that subsequent developments may affect its opinion, and that J.P. Morgan does not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm such opinion. J.P. Morgan’s opinion is limited to the fairness to Marvell, from a financial point of view, of the Delaware Merger Consideration to be paid by HoldCo in the Delaware Merger, and J.P. Morgan has expressed no opinion as to the fairness of any consideration to the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of Marvell or the underlying decision by Marvell to engage in the Mergers. Furthermore, J.P. Morgan expressed no opinion with respect to the amount or nature of any compensation to any officers, directors or employees of any party to the Mergers, or any class of such persons relative to the consideration in the proposed Mergers or with respect to the fairness of any such compensation. J.P. Morgan expressed no opinion as to the price at which HoldCo Shares, Marvell Shares or Inphi Shares will trade at any future time.

The terms of the Merger Agreement, including the Marvell Exchange Ratio and the Inphi Exchange Ratio, were determined through arm’s length negotiations between Marvell and Inphi, and the decision to enter into the Merger Agreement was solely that of the Marvell Board and the Inphi Board. J.P. Morgan’s opinion and financial analyses were only one of the many factors considered by the Marvell Board in its evaluation of the proposed Mergers and should not be viewed as determinative of the views of the Marvell Board or management with respect to the Mergers or the Delaware Merger Consideration.

In accordance with customary investment banking practice, J.P. Morgan employed generally accepted valuation methodology in rendering its opinion to the Marvell Board on October 28, 2020 and in the presentation delivered to the Marvell Board on such date in connection with the rendering of such opinion and does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses or data presented by J.P. Morgan. Some of the summaries of the financial analyses include information presented in tabular format. The tables are not intended to stand alone, and in order to more fully understand the financial analyses used by J.P. Morgan, the tables must be read together with the full text of each summary. Considering the data set forth below without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of J.P. Morgan’s analyses. Except as otherwise noted, the following quantitative information, to the extent that it is based on market data, is based on market data as it existed on or before October 28, 2020 and is not necessarily indicative of current market conditions.

Public Trading Multiples Analysis

Using publicly available information, J.P. Morgan compared selected financial data of Inphi with similar data for selected publicly traded companies in the semiconductor industry:

| • |  | Marvell Technology Group Ltd.

| • |  | NVIDIA Corp.

| • |  | Power Integrations, Inc.

| • |  | Monolithic Power Systems, Inc.

| • |  | Semtech Corp.

| • |  | Lattice Semiconductor Corp.

| • |  | Silicon Laboratories, Inc.

| • |  | Xilinx, Inc.

112

##### Table of Contents

These companies were selected, among other reasons, because they are publicly traded companies with operations and businesses that, for purposes of J.P. Morgan’s analysis, were considered in its judgment sufficiently similar in certain respects to those of Inphi based on business sector participation, operational characteristics and financial metrics. However, none of the selected companies is identical to Inphi, and certain of the selected companies may have characteristics that are materially different from those of Inphi. The analyses necessarily involve complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operational characteristics of the companies involved and other factors that could affect the companies differently than they would affect Inphi. Using publicly available information, J.P. Morgan calculated, for each selected company, the multiple of closing share price as of October 27, 2020 to estimated earnings per share (“EPS”) for the calendar year 2021 (“P/E CY2021E”), in each case based on Wall Street analysts’ consensus estimates. This analysis indicated the following P/E CY2021E multiples:

Selected company |  | P/E CY2021E |
Marvell Technology Group Ltd. |  |  | 31.0x |
NVIDIA Corp. |  |  | 49.1x |
Power Integrations, Inc. |  |  | 32.4x |
Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. |  |  | 60.9x |
Semtech Corp. |  |  | 26.8x |
Lattice Semiconductor Corp. |  |  | 45.0x |
Silicon Laboratories, Inc. |  |  | 29.5x |
Xilinx, Inc.1 |  |  | 36.5x |

(1) | Based on the closing price of Xilinx, Inc. on October 26, 2020, prior to the announcement of AMD’s acquisition of Xilinx.

Based on the results of this analysis and other factors that J.P. Morgan considered appropriate, J.P. Morgan selected multiple reference ranges for P/E CY2021E of 30x-45x. This multiple range was then applied to Marvell’s management’s estimate of EPS for Inphi for the calendar year 2021, which indicated implied equity value per share ranges for Inphi Shares, rounded to the nearest $0.25, of $106.75 to $160.00.

Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

J.P. Morgan conducted a discounted cash flow analysis for the purpose of determining the fully diluted equity value per share for Inphi Shares.

A discounted cash flow analysis is a method of evaluating an asset using estimates of the future unlevered free cash flows generated by the asset, and taking into consideration the time value of money with respect to those future cash flows by calculating their “present value.” The “unlevered free cash flows” refers to a calculation of the future cash flows generated by an asset without including in such calculation any debt servicing costs. “Present value” refers to the current value of the future cash flows generated by the asset, and is obtained by discounting those cash flows back to the present using a discount rate that takes into account macroeconomic assumptions and estimates of risk, the opportunity cost of capital and other appropriate factors. “Terminal value” refers to the present value of all future cash flows estimated to be generated by the asset for periods beyond the projections period.

J.P. Morgan calculated the unlevered free cash flows that Inphi is expected to generate during the remainder of 2020 (applying a valuation date of as of September 30, 2020) and calendar years 2021 through 2035 based upon financial projections prepared by the management of Marvell. Based on Marvell’s management’s estimate of a 3.5% terminal value growth rate in the industry in which Inphi operates, J.P. Morgan calculated a range of terminal values of Inphi at the end of this period by applying a perpetual growth rate ranging from 3.0% to 4.0%

113

##### Table of Contents

to the unlevered free cash flow of Inphi during the final year of such period. The unlevered free cash flows and the range of terminal values were then discounted to present values using a range of discount rates from 9% to 11%, which were chosen by J.P. Morgan based upon an analysis of the weighted average cost of capital of Inphi, taking into account macroeconomic assumptions and estimates of risk, the opportunity cost of capital and other factors J.P. Morgan deemed appropriate. These present values, when added together with the present value of Marvell’s management’s estimates of after-tax Marvell Projected Synergies of $2.6 billion (based on $125 million of run-rate pre-tax annual operating cost-synergies, tax savings, capital expenditure synergies, net working capital synergies and SBC savings and net of one-time costs to achieve such Marvell Projected Synergies), resulted in an implied firm value for Inphi. To calculate an estimated equity value per Inphi Share, J.P. Morgan then adjusted the implied firm value for Inphi’s debt and cash and divided the result by the fully diluted number of Inphi Shares outstanding (which was derived based on adjustments to reflect the impact of dilutive securities and calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, as relevant), using the number provided by Marvell’s management.

The discounted cash flow analysis indicated the following implied equity value per share range for Inphi (rounded to the nearest $0.25):

|  | Implied equity value per share |
|  | Low |  |  | High |
Discounted cash flow |  | $ | 114.50 |  |  | $ | 187.50 |
Discounted cash flow with Marvell Projected Synergies |  | $ | 150.00 |  |  | $ | 238.00 |

Intrinsic Value of Merger Consideration—DCF Based

J.P. Morgan prepared a value creation analysis that compared the equity value calculated from J.P. Morgan’s discounted cash flow analysis of Marvell on a standalone basis to Marvell shareholders’ pro forma ownership of the equity value of the combined company. The pro forma combined company equity value was equal to: (1) Marvell standalone discounted cash flow value of $32.1 billion, as per Marvell’s management projections, plus (2) Inphi standalone discounted cash flow value of $8.9 billion, plus (3) the present value of Marvell’s management’s estimates of after-tax Marvell Projected Synergies of $2.6 billion (based on $125 million of run-rate pre-tax annual operating cost-synergies, tax savings, capital expenditure synergies, net working capital synergies and SBC savings and net of one-time costs to achieve such Marvell Projected Synergies), less (4) the cash consideration paid to Inphi stockholders in the Delaware Merger and Marvell’s management’s estimates of the transaction expenses of $4.3 billion in the aggregate (based on transaction fees and expenses of $200 million and the impact of the settlement of certain convertible notes in cash and shares). For purposes of the discounted cash flow values used in this analysis, J.P. Morgan used (i) a terminal growth rate of 3.5% for the unlevered free cash flow for Inphi and for the Marvell Projected Synergies and a discount rate of 10% and (ii) a terminal growth rate of 3.5% for the unlevered free cash flow for Marvell and for the Marvell Projected Synergies, in each case as estimated by Marvell’s management, and a discount rate of 9.75%. The discount rate of 9.75% was chosen by J.P. Morgan based upon an analysis of the weighted average cost of capital of Marvell, taking into account macroeconomic assumptions and estimates of risk, the opportunity cost of capital and other factors J.P. Morgan deemed appropriate. J.P. Morgan then determined the implied pro forma equity value of the combined company attributable to Marvell shareholders based on the equity ownership percentage of the combined company of approximately 83% to be owned by Marvell shareholders implied by the Marvell Exchange Ratio and the Inphi Exchange Ratio provided for in the Merger Agreement. J.P. Morgan then compared the result to the implied equity value of Marvell on a standalone basis derived from the discounted cash flow analysis described above. The value creation analysis indicated (i) implied total equity value of the combined company attributable to Marvell shareholders of $32.5 billion, (ii) implied equity value per share, rounded to the nearest $0.25, of $47.25 and (iii) implied pro forma accretion in equity value to Marvell shareholders of 1%.

Miscellaneous

The foregoing summary of certain material financial analyses does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses or data presented by J.P. Morgan. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. J.P. Morgan believes that the foregoing summary and its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of the foregoing summary and these analyses, without considering all of its analyses as a whole, could create an incomplete view of the processes underlying the analyses and its opinion. As a result, the ranges of valuations resulting from any particular analysis or combination of analyses described above were merely utilized to create points of reference for analytical purposes and should not be taken to be the view of J.P. Morgan with respect to the actual value of Marvell or Inphi. The order of analyses described does not represent the relative importance or weight given to those analyses by J.P. Morgan. In arriving at its opinion, J.P. Morgan did not attribute any particular weight to any analyses or factors considered by it and did not form an opinion as to whether any individual analysis or factor (positive or negative), considered in isolation, supported or failed to support its opinion. Rather, J.P. Morgan considered the totality of the factors and analyses performed in determining its opinion.

Analyses based upon forecasts of future results are inherently uncertain, as they are subject to numerous factors or events beyond the control of the parties and their advisors. Accordingly, forecasts and analyses used or made by J.P. Morgan are not necessarily indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by those analyses. Moreover, J.P. Morgan’s analyses are not and do not purport to be appraisals or otherwise reflective of the prices at which businesses actually could be acquired or sold. None of the selected companies reviewed as described in the above summary is identical to Marvell or Inphi. However, the companies selected were chosen because they are publicly traded companies with operations and businesses that, for purposes of J.P. Morgan’s analysis, may be considered similar to those of Marvell and Inphi. The analyses necessarily involve complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operational characteristics of the companies involved and other factors that could affect the companies compared to Marvell and Inphi.

As a part of its investment banking business, J.P. Morgan and its affiliates are continually engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, investments for passive and control purposes, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements, and valuations for corporate and other purposes. J.P. Morgan was selected to advise Marvell with respect to the Mergers on the basis of, among other things, such experience and its qualifications and reputation in connection with such matters and its familiarity with Marvell, Inphi and the industries in which they operate.

For financial advisory services rendered in connection with the Mergers, Marvell has agreed to pay J.P. Morgan a fee of $32.5 million, of which $4 million became payable upon delivery of the opinion and the remainder will become payable upon the completion of the Mergers. In addition, Marvell has agreed to reimburse J.P. Morgan

115

##### Table of Contents

for its expenses incurred in connection with its services, including the fees and disbursements of counsel, and will indemnify J.P. Morgan against certain liabilities arising out of J.P. Morgan’s engagement. During the two years preceding the date of J.P. Morgan’s opinion, J.P. Morgan and its affiliates have had commercial or investment banking relationships with Marvell and Inphi for which J.P. Morgan and such affiliates have received customary compensation. Such services during such period included providing financial advisory services to Marvell in connection with other ongoing potential transactions unrelated to the Mergers and acting as joint lead bookrunner of Inphi’s convertible debt offering in April 2020 and entering into a related call spread derivative transaction with Inphi in connection with such offering. J.P. Morgan anticipates that it and its affiliates will arrange and/or provide financing to Marvell in connection with the Mergers for customary compensation. In addition, J.P. Morgan and its affiliates hold, on a proprietary basis, less than 1% of each of the outstanding Marvell Shares and Inphi Shares. During the two year period preceding delivery of its opinion ending on September 30, 2020, the aggregate fees received by J.P. Morgan from Marvell were between $20.0 million and $22.0 million and from Inphi were between $4.0 million and $6.0 million. In the ordinary course of their businesses, J.P. Morgan and its affiliates may actively trade the debt and equity securities of Marvell or Inphi for their own accounts or for the accounts of customers and, accordingly, they may at any time hold long or short positions in such securities.

In connection with the issuance of certain convertible notes in December 2015 and September 2016, Inphi purchased certain capped call options with respect to its shares from an affiliate of J.P. Morgan, pursuant to certain capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”). Such J.P. Morgan affiliate entered into such Capped Call Transactions as principal for its own account and not as an advisor to Inphi. Pursuant to the terms of the Capped Call Transactions, upon the occurrence of certain transactions or events involving Inphi, including the announcement or completion of the Mergers, the terms of the Capped Call Transactions may be adjusted, and/or the Capped Call Transactions may be terminated, in whole or in part. In connection with the Capped Call Transactions, such J.P. Morgan affiliate may make a cash payment to Inphi which is expected to result in an economic gain to such affiliate.

Opinion of Inphi’s Financial Advisor, Qatalyst Partners

Inphi retained Qatalyst Partners to act as financial advisor to the Inphi Board in connection with a potential transaction such as the Mergers and to evaluate whether the Delaware Merger Consideration to be received pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement, by the holders of Inphi Shares, other than Marvell or any affiliate of Marvell, was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders. Inphi selected Qatalyst Partners to act as Inphi’s financial advisor based on Qatalyst Partners’ qualifications, expertise, reputation and knowledge of Inphi’s business and the industry in which Inphi operates. Qatalyst Partners has provided its written consent to the reproduction of the Qatalyst Partners’ opinion in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. At the meeting of the Inphi Board on October 28, 2020, Qatalyst Partners rendered to the Inphi Board its oral opinion, which was subsequently confirmed in writing, to the effect that as of October 28, 2020, and based upon and subject to the various assumptions, qualifications, limitations and other matters set forth therein, the Delaware Merger Consideration to be received pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement, by the holders of Inphi Shares, other than Marvell or any affiliate of Marvell, was fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders. Qatalyst Partners delivered its written opinion, dated October 28, 2020, to the Inphi Board following the meeting of the Inphi Board.

The full text of the opinion of Qatalyst Partners, dated as of October 28, 2020, is attached as Annex D to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated into this joint proxy statement/prospectus by reference. The opinion sets forth, among other things, the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications of the review undertaken by Qatalyst Partners in rendering its opinion. You should read the opinion carefully in its entirety. Qatalyst Partners’ opinion was provided to the Inphi Board and addresses only, as of the date of the opinion, the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Delaware Merger Consideration to be received pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement, by the holders of Inphi Shares, other than Marvell or any affiliate of Marvell, to

such holders. It does not address any other aspect of the Mergers. It does not constitute a recommendation as to how to vote with respect to the Mergers or any other matters and does not in any manner address what the value of HoldCo Shares actually will be when issued pursuant to the Mergers or the price at which Inphi Shares, Marvell Shares or HoldCo Shares will trade or otherwise be transferable at any time. The summary of Qatalyst Partners’ opinion set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion, which is attached as Annex D to this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

For purposes of the opinion set forth therein, Qatalyst Partners reviewed a draft, dated as of October 27, 2020, of the Merger Agreement (the “Draft Merger Agreement”), certain related documents and certain publicly available financial statements of Inphi and Marvell and other business and financial information of Inphi and Marvell. Qatalyst Partners also reviewed (i) certain forward-looking information relating to Inphi prepared by the management of Inphi, including financial projections and operating data of Inphi, which are described below in the section titled “The Mergers—Unaudited Prospective Financial Information—Inphi Unaudited Prospective Financial Information” (the “Inphi Projections”), (ii) certain forward-looking information relating to Marvell prepared by the management of Marvell, including financial projections and operating data of Marvell, and adjusted by the management of Inphi, which are described below in the section titled “The Mergers—Unaudited Prospective Financial Information—Inphi Unaudited Prospective Financial Information” (the “Adjusted Marvell Projections”), and (iii) information relating to certain strategic, financial and operational benefits anticipated from the Mergers prepared by the management teams of Inphi and Marvell, and adjusted by the management of Inphi, as described below in the section titled “The Mergers—Unaudited Prospective Financial Information—Inphi Unaudited Prospective Financial Information” (the “Inphi Projected Synergies”). Additionally, Qatalyst Partners discussed the past and current operations and financial condition and the prospects of Inphi and Marvell, including information relating to certain strategic, financial and operational benefits anticipated from the Mergers, with the senior managements of Inphi and Marvell, respectively. Qatalyst Partners also reviewed the historical market prices and trading activity for Inphi Shares and Marvell Shares and compared the financial performance of Inphi and Marvell and the prices and trading activity of Inphi Shares and Marvell Shares with that of certain other selected publicly-traded companies and their securities. In addition, Qatalyst Partners reviewed the financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of selected acquisition transactions and performed such other analyses, reviewed such other information and considered such other factors as Qatalyst Partners deemed appropriate.

In arriving at its opinion, Qatalyst Partners assumed and relied upon, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of the information that was publicly available or supplied or otherwise made available to, or discussed with, Qatalyst Partners by Inphi and Marvell, respectively. With respect to the Inphi Projections, Qatalyst Partners was advised by management of Inphi, and Qatalyst Partners assumed, that such projections had been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Inphi of the future financial performance of Inphi and other matters covered thereby. With respect to the Adjusted Marvell Projections, Qatalyst Partners was advised by the management of Inphi, and Qatalyst Partners assumed, that the Adjusted Marvell Projections had been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Marvell, as adjusted by the management of Inphi, of the future financial performance of Marvell and other matters covered thereby. With respect to the Inphi Projected Synergies, Qatalyst Partners was advised by the management of Inphi, and Qatalyst Partners assumed, that the Inphi Projected Synergies had been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the reasonable estimates and judgments of the management teams of Inphi and Marvell, and adjusted by the management of Inphi, relating to the strategic, financial and operational benefits anticipated from the Mergers and other matters covered thereby. With respect to the Inphi Projections, Adjusted Marvell Projections and Inphi Projected Synergies, Inphi Board instructed Qatalyst Partners to use and rely upon such forecasts for purposes of its opinion. Qatalyst Partners assumed that the Mergers will be consummated in accordance with the terms set forth in the Draft Merger Agreement, without any modification, waiver or delay and that the Mergers will have the tax consequences referred to in the Merger Agreement and as described in discussions with representatives of Inphi. Qatalyst Partners also assumed that the final executed Merger Agreement will not differ in any material respect from the Draft Merger Agreement reviewed by Qatalyst Partners. In addition, Qatalyst Partners assumed

117

##### Table of Contents

that in connection with the receipt of all the necessary approvals of the proposed Mergers, no delays, limitations, conditions or restrictions will be imposed that could have an adverse effect on Inphi, Marvell, HoldCo or the contemplated benefits expected to be derived in the proposed Mergers. Qatalyst Partners did not make any independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of Inphi, Marvell or HoldCo or their respective affiliates, nor was Qatalyst Partners furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal. In addition, Qatalyst Partners relied, without independent verification, upon the assessment of the management of Inphi as to (i) the existing and future technology and products of Inphi, Marvell and HoldCo and the risks associated with such technology and products, (ii) the ability to integrate the businesses of Inphi and Marvell and (iii) the ability to retain key employees of Inphi and Marvell. Qatalyst Partners’ opinion has been approved by Qatalyst Partners’ opinion committee in accordance with its customary practice. Qatalyst Partners’ opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how to vote with respect to the Mergers or any other matter and does not in any manner address what the value of HoldCo Shares actually will be when issued pursuant to the Mergers or the price at which Inphi Shares, Marvell Shares or HoldCo Shares will trade or otherwise be transferable at any time.

Qatalyst Partners’ opinion is necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to it as of, the date of the opinion. Events occurring after the date of the opinion may affect Qatalyst Partners’ opinion and the assumptions used in preparing it, and Qatalyst Partners has not assumed any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm its opinion. Qatalyst Partners’ opinion does not address the underlying business decision of Inphi to engage in the Mergers, or the relative merits of the Mergers as compared to any strategic alternatives that may be available to Inphi. Qatalyst Partners’ opinion is limited to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Delaware Merger Consideration to be received pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement, by the holders of Inphi Shares, other than Marvell or any affiliate of Marvell, and Qatalyst Partners expressed no opinion with respect to the fairness of the amount or nature of the compensation to any of the officers, directors or employees of Inphi, Marvell or HoldCo or any of their respective affiliates, or any class of such persons, relative to such consideration.

The following is a brief summary of the material analyses performed by Qatalyst Partners in connection with its opinion dated October 28, 2020. The analyses and factors described below must be considered as a whole; considering any portion of such analyses or factors, without considering all analyses and factors, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying Qatalyst Partners’ opinion. For purposes of its analyses, Qatalyst Partners utilized both the consensus of third-party research analysts’ projections of the future financial performance of Inphi as of October 27, 2020 (the “Analyst Projections”) as well as the Inphi Projections and the Pro Forma Financial Information (as defined in the section titled “The Mergers—Unaudited Prospective Financial Information—Inphi Unaudited Prospective Financial Information”). The Analyst Projections utilized by Qatalyst Partners were comprised of projections from 16 third-party research analysts. The Pro Forma Financial Information was used and relied upon by Qatalyst Partners at the instruction of the Inphi Board.

Some of the summaries of the financial analyses include information presented in tabular format. The tables are not intended to stand alone, and in order to more fully understand the financial analyses used by Qatalyst Partners, the tables must be read together with the full text of each summary. Considering the data set forth below without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of Qatalyst Partners’ financial analyses.

Illustrative Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

Standalone Company

Qatalyst Partners performed an illustrative discounted cash flow analysis, which is designed to imply a potential, present value of an Inphi Share as of December 31, 2020, without taking into account the Mergers, by:

| • |  | adding:

| • |  | (a) the implied net present value of the estimated future unlevered free cash flows of Inphi, based on the Inphi Projections, for calendar year 2021 through calendar year 2025 (which implied present value was calculated by using a mid-period discounting convention and a range of discount rates of 8.0% to 11.5%, based on an estimated weighted average cost of capital for Inphi; Qatalyst Partners calculated an estimated weighted average cost of capital for Inphi utilizing the capital asset pricing model and inputs based on Qatalyst Partners’ professional judgment);

| • |  | (b) the implied net present value of a corresponding terminal value of Inphi (which net present value ranged from approximately $6,772 million to $13,899 million), calculated by multiplying Inphi’s estimated net operating profit after tax (“NOPAT”) in calendar year 2026 of approximately $663 million, based on the Inphi Projections, by a range of multiples of fully-diluted enterprise value to next-twelve-months NOPAT of 20.0x to 35.0x, selected based on the professional judgment of Qatalyst Partners drawn from its expertise and experience, and discounted to present value using the same range of discount rates used in the calculation of the implied net present value of the estimated future unlevered free cash flows of Inphi described above; and

| • |  | (c) the estimated cash balance of Inphi as of December 31, 2020 of approximately $192 million, as provided by management of Inphi; and

| • |  | subtracting the estimated debt of Inphi as of December 31, 2020 of approximately $567 million, as provided by management of Inphi; and

| • |  | dividing the resulting amount by the number of fully-diluted Inphi Shares, adjusted for restricted stock units, performance-based stock units, market value stock units, options outstanding (calculated using the treasury stock method), in-the-money convertible debt (calculated using net share settlement method) and in-the-money capped calls, estimated as of December 31, 2020, each outstanding as of October 21, 2020, all of which amounts were provided by Inphi management, with each of the above-referenced estimated future unlevered free cash flows and terminal value having also been adjusted for the degree of estimated dilution to current stockholders through each respective applicable period (which totaled approximately 14% in the case of the terminal value) due to the estimated net effects of equity issuances and cancellations related to future equity compensation, based on estimates of future dilution provided by management of Inphi.

Based on the calculations set forth above, this analysis implied a range of values for Inphi Shares of approximately $135.31 to $252.19 per Inphi Share.

Pro Forma Combined Company

Qatalyst Partners also performed an illustrative pro forma discounted cash flow analysis with respect to HoldCo, taking into account the Mergers, based on the Pro Forma Financial Information, to calculate indications of the implied pro forma present value of the HoldCo Shares constituting the stock portion of the Delaware Merger Consideration as of December 31, 2020 and thus, by addition of the cash portion of the Delaware Merger Consideration, the per share Delaware Merger Consideration, by:

| • |  | adding:

| • |  | (a) the implied net present value of the estimated future unlevered free cash flows based on the Pro Forma Financial Information for calendar year 2021 through calendar year 2025 (which

119

##### Table of Contents

| implied present value was calculated by using a mid-period discounting convention and a range of discount rates of 8.0% to 10.0%, based on an estimated weighted average cost of capital for HoldCo, taking into account the Mergers; Qatalyst Partners calculated an estimated weighted average cost of capital for HoldCo utilizing the capital asset pricing model and inputs based on Qatalyst Partners’ professional judgment); and

| • |  | (b) the implied net present value of a corresponding terminal value of HoldCo (which net present value ranged from approximately $32,425 million to $62,196 million), taking into account the Mergers, calculated by multiplying HoldCo’s estimated NOPAT in calendar year 2026 of approximately $2,809 million, based on the Pro Forma Financial Information, by a range of multiples of fully-diluted enterprise value to next-twelve-months NOPAT of 20.0x to 35.0x, selected based on the professional judgment of Qatalyst Partners drawn from its expertise and experience, and discounted to present value using the same range of discount rates used in the calculation of the implied net present value of the estimated future unlevered free cash flows of HoldCo described above;

| • |  | subtracting the estimated net debt of HoldCo as of December 31, 2020 of approximately $4,390 million, taking into account the Mergers, as provided by the management of Marvell and the management of Inphi, respectively;

| • |  | dividing the resulting amount by the number of fully-diluted HoldCo Shares, adjusted for restricted stock units and options (calculated using the treasury stock method), taking into account the Mergers, estimated as of December 31, 2020, as provided by the management of Marvell and the management of Inphi, respectively, with each of the above-referenced estimated future unlevered free cash flows and terminal value having also been adjusted for the degree of estimated dilution to current stockholders through each respective applicable period (which totaled approximately 8% in the case of the terminal value) due to the estimated net effects of equity issuances and cancellations related to future equity compensation, based on estimates of future dilution provided by management of Inphi;

| • |  | applying the Inphi Exchange Ratio comprising the stock portion of the Delaware Merger Consideration of 2.323 HoldCo Shares per Inphi Share; and

| • |  | adding the per share cash portion of the Delaware Merger Consideration of $66.00 per Inphi Share.

Based on the calculations set forth above, this analysis implied a range of values for Inphi Shares of approximately $161.49 to $243.95 per Inphi Share.

Qatalyst Partners noted that the implied value of the consideration to be received by Inphi stockholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement was $162.33 per Inphi Share, based on Marvell’s closing share price on October 27, 2020.

The CY2021E P/E Multiple for Inphi was 30.7x based on the Analyst Projections using Inphi’s closing stock price on October 27, 2020.

Based on an analysis of the CY2021E P/E Multiples for the selected companies, Qatalyst Partners selected a representative range of 20.0x to 40.0x and applied this range to Inphi’s estimated calendar year 2021 non-GAAP earnings per diluted share (excluding stock-based compensation expense, acquisition expenses, amortization of intangibles, inventory fair value step up related to acquisitions, noncash interest on convertible debt and other non-recurring charges) based on each of the Analyst Projections and the Inphi Projections. This analysis implied a range of values for Inphi Shares of approximately $74.20 to $148.39 per Inphi Share and $80.30 to $160.60 per Inphi Share based on the Analyst Projections and the Inphi Projections, respectively. Qatalyst Partners noted that the implied value of the consideration to be received by Inphi stockholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement was $162.33 per Inphi Share, based on Marvell’s closing share price on October 27, 2020.

No company included in the selected companies analysis is identical to Inphi. In evaluating the selected companies, Qatalyst Partners made judgments and assumptions with regard to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters. Many of these matters are beyond the control of Inphi, such as the impact of competition on the business of Inphi and the industry in general, industry growth and the absence of any material adverse change in the financial condition and prospects of Inphi or the industry or in the financial markets in general. Individual multiples or mathematical analyses are not in itself a meaningful method of using selected company data.

##### Table of Contents

to the Merger Agreement was $162.33 per Inphi Share, based on Marvell’s closing share price on October 27, 2020.

For each of the transactions listed above, Qatalyst Partners also reviewed, among other things, the price per share paid for the target company as a multiple of analyst estimates of the next-twelve-months non-GAAP earnings per diluted share (excluding stock-based compensation expense, acquisition expenses, amortization of intangibles and other non-recurring charges) of the target company. Based on the analysis of such metrics for the transactions noted above, Qatalyst Partners selected a representative range of 20.0x to 37.0x and applied that range to Inphi’s estimated next-twelve-months non-GAAP earnings per diluted share excluding stock-based compensation expense, acquisition expenses, amortization of intangibles, inventory fair value step up related to acquisitions, noncash interest on convertible debt and other non-recurring charges (calculated as the four quarters ending on June 30, 2021 and based on the Analyst Projections).

No company or transaction utilized in the selected transactions analysis is identical to Inphi or the Mergers. In evaluating the selected transactions, Qatalyst Partners made judgments and assumptions with regard to general business, market and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of Inphi, such as the impact of competition on the business of Inphi or the industry generally, industry growth and the absence of any material adverse change in the financial condition and prospects of Inphi or the industry or in the financial markets in general, which could affect the public trading value of the companies and the aggregate value of the transactions to which they are being compared. Individual multiples or mathematical analyses, such as determining the arithmetic mean, median, or the high or low, is not in itself a meaningful method of using the selected transactions data. Because of the unique circumstances of each of these transactions and the Mergers, Qatalyst Partners cautioned against placing undue reliance on this information.

Miscellaneous

In connection with the review of the Mergers by the Inphi Board, Qatalyst Partners performed a variety of financial and comparative analyses for purposes of rendering its opinion. The preparation of a financial opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily amenable to a partial analysis or summary description. In arriving at its opinion, Qatalyst Partners considered the results of all of its analyses as a whole and did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor it considered. Qatalyst Partners believes that selecting any portion of its analyses, without considering all analyses as a whole, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying its analyses and opinion. In addition, Qatalyst Partners may have given various analyses and factors more or less weight than other analyses and factors, and may have deemed various assumptions more or less probable than other assumptions. As a result, the ranges of valuations resulting from any particular analysis described above should not be taken to be Qatalyst Partners’ view of the actual value of HoldCo, Inphi or Marvell. In performing its analyses, Qatalyst Partners made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of HoldCo, Inphi or Marvell. Any estimates contained in Qatalyst Partners’ analyses are not necessarily indicative of future results or actual values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by such estimates.

Qatalyst Partners conducted the analyses described above solely as part of its analysis of the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Delaware Merger Consideration to be received pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement, by the holders of Inphi Shares, other than Marvell or any affiliate of Marvell, to such holders. These analyses do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect what the value of HoldCo Shares might actually be when issued pursuant to the Mergers or the price at which Inphi Shares, Marvell Shares or HoldCo Shares might actually trade or otherwise be transferable at any time.

##### Table of Contents

Qatalyst Partners’ opinion and its presentation to the Inphi Board was one of the many factors considered by the Inphi Board in deciding to approve the Merger Agreement. The analyses as described above should not be viewed as determinative of the opinion of the Inphi Board with respect to the Delaware Merger Consideration to be received pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement, by the holders of Inphi Shares, other than Marvell, Inphi or any affiliate of Marvell or Inphi or any holder of Inphi Shares with respect to which appraisal rights are properly exercised and not withdrawn under Delaware law, or of whether the Inphi Board would have been willing to agree to different consideration. The Delaware Merger Consideration payable in the Mergers was determined through arm’s-length negotiations between Inphi and Marvell and was unanimously approved by the Inphi Board. Qatalyst Partners provided advice to Inphi during these negotiations. Qatalyst Partners did not, however, recommend any specific consideration to Inphi or that any specific consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the Mergers.

Qatalyst Partners provides investment banking and other services to a wide range of entities and individuals, domestically and offshore, from which conflicting interests or duties may arise. In the ordinary course of these activities, affiliates of Qatalyst Partners may at any time hold long or short positions, and may trade or otherwise effect transactions in debt or equity securities or loans of Inphi, Marvell, HoldCo or certain of their respective affiliates. During the two-year period prior to the date of Qatalyst Partners’ written opinion, no material relationship existed between Qatalyst Partners or any of its affiliates and Inphi or Marvell pursuant to which compensation was received by Qatalyst Partners or its affiliates; however Qatalyst Partners and/or its affiliates may in the future provide investment banking and other financial services to Inphi, Marvell or HoldCo and their respective affiliates for which it would expect to receive compensation.

Pursuant to a letter agreement, dated as of September 4, 2019, Qatalyst Partners provided Inphi with financial advisory services in connection with the Mergers for which it will be paid approximately $82 million (provided that the final actual fee will be, in part, based on Marvell’s closing share price at the time of the closing of the Mergers, and, accordingly, the final fee may vary significantly from this estimate), $5 million of which became payable upon delivery of its opinion (regardless of the conclusion reached in the opinion), and the remaining portion of which will be paid upon, and subject to, the completion of the Mergers. Inphi has also agreed to reimburse Qatalyst Partners for its expenses incurred in performing its services. Furthermore, Inphi has agreed to indemnify Qatalyst Partners and its affiliates, their respective members, directors, officers, partners, agents and employees and any person controlling Qatalyst Partners or any of its affiliates against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws, and expenses related to or arising out of Qatalyst Partners’ engagement.

Marvell Management Projections of Marvell Financial Information

Marvell does not normally publicly disclose long-term projections as to future revenue, earnings or other results due to, among other reasons, the uncertainty, unpredictability and subjectivity of the underlying assumptions and estimates. However, in connection with the evaluation of the Mergers, Marvell provided the Marvell Board and its financial advisor, J.P. Morgan, with certain non-public, unaudited financial forecasts relating to Marvell that were prepared by management of Marvell (the “Marvell Management Projections”). The projections for Marvell fiscal years 2021 through 2026 were prepared for internal purposes, and not for public disclosure. Marvell provided to Inphi a subset of the Marvell Management Projections limited to Marvell fiscal years 2021 through 2024.

Marvell’s management made various assumptions when preparing the Marvell Management Projections. These assumptions included estimates of revenue growth for each of the core markets served, which projections were based in part on historical performance, Marvell’s strategic plans and anticipated general business and economic conditions. These assumptions reflect a forecasted compound annual growth rate of Marvell’s serviceable

##### Table of Contents

available market (“SAM”) of approximately 9% from fiscal year 2021 to fiscal year 2024. These assumptions also include a forecast of Marvell’s revenue growth rate exceeding the annualized SAM growth from fiscal year 2021 to fiscal year 2024 through share gains and continuing to grow between 12-14% for the remainder of the forecast period. Marvell’s management also made assumptions with respect to operating expenses, including headcount expected to support future operations and sales and marketing expenses expected to fund the projected revenue growth.

“Marvell Adjusted Inphi Projections”). Inphi provided Marvell with financial forecasts limited to calendar years 2020 through 2023. Marvell’s management adjusted the forecasts provided by Inphi and then extrapolated them for calendar years 2020 through 2029.

Certain of the material assumptions made by Marvell’s management in connection with the preparation of the Marvell Adjusted Inphi Projections include, without limitation:

| • |  | Inphi is well positioned to serve the infrastructure semiconductor market with advanced technology leadership in PAM4 and coherent DSP interconnect products within and between data centers;

| • |  | Inphi’s markets and products have high barriers to entry;

| • |  | Inphi’s SAM will grow approximately 57% annually from calendar year 2018 to calendar year 2022; and

| • |  | Inphi’s revenue growth rate will be between 8-16% for the forecast period.

The following table presents a summary of the Marvell Adjusted Inphi Projections that Marvell made available to J.P. Morgan, and that J.P. Morgan used, at Marvell’s direction and with Marvell’s approval, for purposes of its financial analyses and fairness opinion:

For fiscal year comparison purposes, Marvell assumed that the Marvell fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to January 31 is equivalent to the Inphi fiscal year ending on December 31. For example, Marvell assumed that “FY2021E” in the Marvell Management Projections table above is equivalent to “FY2020E” in the Marvell Adjusted Inphi Projections table above.

Marvell Management Synergy Projections

Marvell developed and provided to J.P. Morgan projections relating to the anticipated synergies (excluding any potential tax, capital expenditures, working capital and stock based compensation synergies) for Marvell’s fiscal years 2021 through 2030 that would result from the Mergers (the “Marvell Management Synergy Projections”). Marvell estimated that the pre-tax costs to achieve these synergies would be $63 million in the first 18-months and no costs in fiscal periods thereafter, excluding stock-based compensation.

In calculating estimated synergies, Marvell’s management made assumptions with respect to expenses including manufacturing, sales and marketing, product development, personnel, facilities, information technology infrastructure and administration. Assumptions include a reduction in redundant expenses, a reduction of duplicative operating resources (including facilities), future productivity improvements and severance, lease, and contract termination costs to achieve synergies.

The following table presents a summary of the Marvell Management Synergy Projections that Marvell made available to J.P. Morgan, and that J.P. Morgan used, at Marvell’s direction and with Marvell’s approval, for purposes of its financial analyses and fairness opinion:

Inphi Unaudited Prospective Financial Information

Inphi Management Projections of Inphi Financial Information

Inphi does not normally publicly disclose long-term projections as to future revenue, earnings or other results due to, among other reasons, the uncertainty, unpredictability and subjectivity of the underlying assumptions and estimates. However, in October 2020 in connection with the evaluation of the Mergers, Inphi provided the Inphi Board, Marvell and their respective advisors with certain non-public, unaudited stand-alone financial forecasts that were prepared by management of Inphi for internal purposes and not for public disclosure. In addition, for the purpose of calculating the number of fully-diluted Inphi Shares in connection with the illustrative discounted cash flow analysis of Inphi on a standalone basis conducted by Qatalyst Partners described and summarized in the section titled “The Mergers—Opinion of Inphi’s Financial Advisor, Qatalyst Partners—Illustrative Discounted Cash Flow Analysis—Standalone Company,” management of Inphi provided Qatalyst Partners with Inphi’s capitalization as of October 21, 2020. The number of fully-diluted Inphi Shares, adjusted for restricted

##### Table of Contents

stock units, performance-based stock units, market value stock units, options outstanding (calculated using the treasury stock method), in-the-money convertible debt (calculated using net share settlement method) and in-the-money capped calls, estimated as of December 31, 2020, ranged between approximately 58 million and approximately 60 million in the context of such illustrative discounted cash flow analysis.

The following is a summary of the Inphi Projections. At the direction of the Inphi Board, Qatalyst Partners used unaudited financial projections for calendar years 2021 through 2026 that were prepared by Inphi’s management in October 2020 in performing its financial analyses in connection with rendering its opinion described and summarized in the section titled “The Mergers—Opinion of Inphi’s Financial Advisor, Qatalyst Partners.”

The Inphi Projections reflect various estimates, the accuracy of which is difficult to ascertain and beyond Inphi’s control, as well as various assumptions and methodologies, including, among others, assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, regulatory, litigation, market and financial conditions and matters specific to Inphi’s businesses. Such assumptions include, but are not limited to, the following:

| • |  | The size and growth rate (both increasing and decreasing) of Inphi’s share of the markets for Inphi’s current products, and for products that Inphi is in the process of developing. These are also affected by the timing of product development completion, customer qualification and general product availability as well as the rate of product adoption by customers who decide to buy the product;

| • |  | The pricing for Inphi’s products and for competitive products that competitors might offer and customers might choose instead;

| • |  | Inphi’s cost of producing products, both direct and indirect, including yield and consistency of reliability and manufacturing quality;

| • |  | Inphi’s ability to attract and retain personnel who can continue to contribute to Inphi’s success;

| • |  | Inphi’s ability to define and design products and execute development projects on schedule;

| • |  | Inphi’s ability to develop and invent engineering solutions for both product design and manufacturing processes, including packaging, that enable a product to meet or exceed expectations;

| • |  | Inphi’s ongoing customer and supplier relationships;

| • |  | Inphi’s ongoing income tax benefits from its offshore structure; and

| • |  | Inphi’s ability to obtain financing on favorable terms, including debt and equity financing that might be used for refinancing, acquisitions, hiring, retention, bonuses and employee incentives.

There can be no assurance that the projected results will be realized or that actual results will not be materially lower or higher than estimated, whether or not the Mergers are completed.

While the Unaudited Prospective Financial Information summarized above was prepared in good faith by Marvell and Inphi based on information available at the time of preparation, no assurances can be made regarding future events or that the assumptions made in preparing the Unaudited Prospective Financial Information will accurately reflect future conditions. In preparing the Unaudited Prospective Financial Information, Marvell’s management and Inphi’s management made assumptions that management considered were reasonable as of the date of preparation regarding, among other things, future economic, competitive, regulatory and financial market conditions and future business decisions that may not be realized and that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, including, among others, risks and uncertainties described or incorporated by reference in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements,” all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of Marvell and Inphi and will be beyond the control of the combined company. There can be no assurance that the underlying assumptions or projected results in the Unaudited Prospective Financial Information will be realized, and actual results will likely differ, and may differ materially, from those reflected in the Unaudited Prospective Financial Information, whether or not the Mergers are completed. As a result, the Unaudited Prospective Financial Information cannot be considered predictive of actual future operating results, and this information should not be relied on as such.

Since the Unaudited Prospective Financial Information covers multiple years, the information by its nature becomes less predictive with each successive year. Marvell shareholders and Inphi stockholders are urged to review the SEC filings of Marvell and Inphi for a description of risk factors with respect to the businesses of Marvell and Inphi, as well as the risks and other factors described or incorporated by reference in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. The Unaudited Prospective Financial Information was prepared by Marvell and Inphi solely for internal use by Marvell, Inphi, J.P. Morgan and Qatalyst Partners, as the case may be, and was not prepared with a view toward public disclosure, nor was the information prepared with a view toward compliance with published guidelines of the SEC regarding forward-looking statements and the use of non-GAAP measures, the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information, or GAAP.

The Unaudited Prospective Financial Information includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and non-GAAP financial measures as used by Marvell and Inphi may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts used by other companies. The footnotes to the tables above provide certain supplemental information with respect to the calculation of these non-GAAP financial measures. The SEC rules which would otherwise require a reconciliation of a non-GAAP financial measure to a GAAP financial measure do not apply to non-GAAP financial measures provided to a board of directors or a financial advisor in connection with a proposed business combination such as the Mergers if the disclosure is included in a document such as this joint proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures were not relied upon by J.P. Morgan or Qatalyst Partners for purposes of their respective opinions or by the Marvell Board or the Inphi Board in connection with their respective evaluation of the Mergers. Accordingly, Marvell

Interests of Marvell Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers

When considering the recommendation of the Marvell Board that Marvell shareholders vote in favor of approving the Marvell Merger Proposal, Marvell shareholders should be aware that the directors and executive officers of Marvell have interests in the Mergers that are different from, or in addition to, their interests as Marvell shareholders and the interests of Marvell shareholders generally. The Marvell Board was aware of these potentially differing interests and considered them, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Merger Agreement and in reaching its decision to approve the Merger Agreement.

Continuing Directors on HoldCo Board

Under the Merger Agreement, the directors of HoldCo immediately after the Bermuda Merger Effective Time will include each of the individuals who is a member of the Marvell Board immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, as well as the Chief Executive Officer of Inphi as of the Delaware Merger Effective Time. The Marvell Board currently consists of nine directors. It is currently expected that the compensation to be provided to non-employee directors of HoldCo will be substantially similar in nature to the compensation provided to non-employee Marvell directors immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time. For a discussion of the HoldCo Board, see “The Mergers—HoldCo Matters” below.

Continuing Employment with HoldCo

Under the Merger Agreement, the executive officers of HoldCo immediately after the Bermuda Merger Effective Time will be the persons who are executive officers of Marvell immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time. It is currently expected that the executive officers of Marvell will continue their employment with HoldCo following the Bermuda Merger Effective Time on substantially similar terms and conditions as in existence immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time.

Section 14A(b) of the Exchange Act and Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act require that companies provide their shareholders with the opportunity to vote to approve, on an advisory non-binding basis, any “golden parachute compensation” for Marvell’s named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the Mergers. Because Marvell does not have any “golden parachute” or similar arrangements with any of its named executive officers concerning any type of compensation that is based on or otherwise relates to the Mergers, no disclosure is required under Item 402(t) of Regulation S-K and no advisory vote is required by Section 14A(b) and Rule 14(a)-21(c) under the Exchange Act.

Marvell Equity Awards

Marvell equity awards held by Marvell’s directors and executive officers will be treated in the same manner as Marvell equity awards held by all other shareholders. At the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, each Marvell Option, Marvell RSU and Marvell PSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time will be converted into an equivalent option to purchase, or award to be paid in, HoldCo Shares and will remain subject to the same terms, conditions and restrictions as the original option or award. For a full description of the treatment of Marvell’s equity awards, see “The Merger Agreement—Treatment of Marvell Equity Awards.”

Indemnification of Marvell Directors and Officers

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Marvell’s directors and executive officers will be entitled to certain ongoing indemnification and coverage under directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies following the Mergers. Such indemnification and insurance coverage is further described in the section titled “The Mergers—Indemnification of Directors and Officers.”

Interests of Inphi Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers

When considering the recommendation of the Inphi Board that Inphi stockholders vote in favor of approving the Inphi Merger Proposal, Inphi stockholders should be aware that the executive officers and directors of Inphi have interests in the Mergers that are different from, or in addition to, their interests as Inphi stockholders and the interests of Inphi stockholders generally. The Inphi Board was aware of these potentially differing interests and considered them, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Merger Agreement and in reaching its decision to approve the Merger Agreement.

The descriptions and the tables below describe the interests in the Mergers of each individual who served as a director or an executive officer of Inphi at any point in time on or following January 1, 2019, and who, as of the close of business on November 30, 2020, held Inphi Shares or equity awards.

Certain information relating to the interests of Inphi’s executive officers and directors is not currently available and thus is not described completely below, such as the terms of equity grants in the ordinary course of business to the extent permitted under the Merger Agreement between the filing of this joint proxy statement/prospectus and the assumed completion date of the Mergers. To the extent the descriptions in this section relate to compensation or benefits that are expected to be provided in the future, all such descriptions are subject to the “Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” included in this joint proxy statement/prospectus. For the quantitative disclosure in this section of the joint proxy statement/prospectus, Inphi has assumed a closing date of the Delaware Merger of June 29, 2021 (the “Assumed Closing Date”), which is the End Date in the Merger Agreement (absent any extension) and is not intended to indicate that the closing will or will not occur on such date. The descriptions and the tables below assume that Inphi grants no new Inphi equity awards to any director or executive officer of Inphi between the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus and the Assumed Closing Date, other than automatic annual Inphi RSU grants to directors.

Consideration Payable for Outstanding Inphi Shares Pursuant to the Mergers

If the Inphi Merger Proposal is approved, the Inphi Shares held by Inphi’s directors and executive officers will be treated in the same manner as Inphi Shares held by all other stockholders. The following table sets forth (i) the number of Inphi Shares that is scheduled to be owned immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time by each of Inphi’s executive officers and directors (not taking into account any potential acceleration of vesting in connection with the Mergers) and (ii) the number of HoldCo Shares and the aggregate cash payment that each executive officer and director would receive for such Inphi Shares if the closing date of the Delaware Merger occurred on the Assumed Closing Date.

Effect of the Merger Agreement on Inphi Equity Awards Held by Inphi Directors and Officers

Inphi Options

As described in “The Mergers—Treatment of Equity Awards in the Mergers—Effect of the Mergers on the Treatment of Inphi Equity Awards—Inphi Options,” the Merger Agreement provides that at the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each In-the-Money Inphi Option that is held by a person who is a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider, whether vested or unvested, will be assumed by HoldCo and converted into an option to purchase HoldCo Shares, in accordance with the methodology described below in “The Mergers—Treatment of Equity Awards in the Mergers—Effect of the Mergers on the Treatment of Inphi Equity Awards—Inphi Options.” The Merger Agreement further provides that at the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each In-the-Money Inphi Option that is vested and held by a person who is not a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider will be canceled, and the holder of such In-the-Money Inphi Option will be entitled to receive an amount in cash in accordance with the methodology described below in “The Mergers—Treatment of Equity Awards in the Mergers—Effect of the Mergers on the Treatment of Inphi Equity Awards—Inphi Options.” None of the Inphi directors held Inphi Options as of November 30, 2020. The table below shows (i) the number of Inphi Options held by each executive officer as of November 30, 2020 that is scheduled to be vested as of the Assumed Closing Date, (ii) the cash payment each such executive officer would receive upon the Assumed Closing Date, based on the above formulation if such executive officer is not a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider, and (iii) the number of Inphi Shares underlying vested and unvested Inphi Options held by each executive officer as of November 30, 2020 which would be converted into an option to purchase HoldCo Shares, as of the Assumed Closing Date, if such executive officer is a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider.

(1) | For purposes of calculating the cash consideration, this table assumes that the price of a Marvell Share used in the Conversion Ratio will be $44.57, which was the volume weighted average trading price of a Marvell Share for the five consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding November 30, 2020.

Inphi RSUs

As described in “The Mergers—Treatment of Equity Awards in the Mergers—Effect of the Mergers on the Treatment of Inphi Equity Awards—Inphi RSUs,” pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each Inphi RSU that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time and that is held by a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider will be converted into a number of HoldCo restricted stock units, in accordance with the methodology described below in “The Mergers—Treatment of

135

##### Table of Contents

Equity Awards in the Mergers—Effect of the Mergers on the Treatment of Inphi Equity Awards—Inphi RSUs.” The Merger Agreement further provides that at the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each Inphi RSU that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time and that is held by a person who is not a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider will be canceled and extinguished for no consideration. The table below assumes that each Inphi executive officer will be a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider and sets forth the number of Inphi RSUs held by each executive officer as of November 30, 2020 that is scheduled to be unvested as of the Assumed Closing Date and that will be subject to such conversion.

Name |  | Number of Shares Underlying Unvested Inphi RSUs to be Converted into HoldCo RSUs |

Richard Ogawa |  |  | 20,777 |

As described in “The Mergers—Treatment of Equity Awards in the Mergers—Effect of the Mergers on the Treatment of Inphi Equity Awards—Inphi RSUs,” the Merger Agreement provides that immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each outstanding and unvested Inphi RSU held by a non-employee director will vest in full. The Merger Agreement further provides that at the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each outstanding and vested Inphi RSU with respect to which shares have not been issued (including each Inphi RSU that becomes vested immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time) will be canceled and extinguished, and the holder thereof will be entitled to receive an amount in cash and a number of HoldCo Shares in accordance with the methodology described below in “The Mergers—Treatment of Equity Awards in the Mergers—Effect of the Mergers on the Treatment of Inphi Equity Awards—Inphi RSUs.” As of November 30, 2020, there were no Inphi RSUs held by an executive officer that are scheduled to be vested as of the Assumed Closing Date. The table below sets forth, as of the Assumed Closing Date, the number of Inphi RSUs scheduled to be held by each non-employee director and the cash payment and number of HoldCo Shares each such non-employee director would receive based on the above formulation in exchange for the cancellation of their Inphi RSUs. These numbers reflect the automatic annual Inphi RSU grants to Inphi directors which will be made in May 2021 having a value of $200,000 based on the closing price of an Inphi Share on the date of grant, which for purposes of determining the number of Inphi RSUs scheduled to be held as of the Assumed Closing Date is assumed to be $155.13, which was the closing price of an Inphi Share on November 30, 2020.

Inphi MSUs

As described in “The Mergers—Treatment of Equity Awards in the Mergers—Effect of the Mergers on the Treatment of Inphi Equity Awards—Inphi MSUs,” the Merger Agreement provides that at the Delaware Merger

136

##### Table of Contents

Effective Time, each Inphi MSU that is outstanding (and with respect to which Inphi Shares have not yet been issued) immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time will be canceled and extinguished. Each such Inphi MSU will be deemed to vest in that percentage of Inphi Shares subject to such Inphi MSU determined by applying the formula in the applicable Inphi MSU award agreement as if the performance period ended on the closing date of the Mergers and using the Equity Award Cash Consideration Amount as the fair market value of the Inphi Shares, rounded down to the nearest whole share. The holder of such vested Inphi MSU will be entitled to receive an amount in cash and a number of HoldCo Shares in accordance with the methodology described below in “The Mergers—Treatment of Equity Awards in the Mergers—Effect of the Mergers on the Treatment of Inphi Equity Awards—Inphi MSUs.” The table below sets forth the number of Inphi MSUs held by each executive officer as of November 30, 2020 that is scheduled to be outstanding and become vested as of the Assumed Closing Date assuming performance is achieved at the target level, and the cash payment and number of HoldCo Shares each such executive officer would receive based on the above formulation in exchange for the cancellation of their Inphi MSUs.

Severance and Change of Control Arrangements

Inphi has entered into amended and restated severance and change of control agreements with each of its executive officers which, among other things, specify the severance payments and/or benefits to be provided upon termination of employment in certain circumstances.

Each severance and change of control agreement provides how performance-based equity awards will be treated upon a change of control (which would include the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement). For stock price performance awards, such as Inphi MSUs, shares will be earned based on performance during a truncated performance period that ends on the change of control. The number of shares earned will be based on performance measured upon the change in control using the Equity Award Cash Consideration Amount to measure Inphi’s stock price performance. The portion of the award that does not vest based on this formula will be forfeited. For non-stock price performance awards, such as Inphi PSUs, performance will be deemed achieved at target for unfinished performance periods, and the awards will convert to time-based restricted stock units for such target number of shares which will continue to vest in accordance with any service-based vesting condition specified in the award agreement, subject to acceleration on involuntary termination within three months prior to or 12 months following the change of control.

In addition, each severance and change of control agreement provides that if the executive is terminated by Inphi without “cause” or is otherwise “involuntarily terminated,” as such terms are defined in such agreements, within 12 months of a change of control, or within three months prior to a change of control, the executive will be entitled to receive (i) a lump sum cash severance payment equal to 100% (200% for Dr. Tamer and 150% for Mr. Edmunds) of the sum of the executive’s annual base salary plus annual target bonus, (ii) any earned but unpaid annual bonus, (iii) payment of COBRA premium costs (up to the monthly amount Inphi was paying as the employer-portion of health care premiums prior to termination of employment), provided that the executive elects and pays to continue health insurance under COBRA, until the earlier of (a) the end of the 12-month period (24-month period for Dr. Tamer and 18-month period for Mr. Edmunds) following such executive’s termination date or (b) the date the executive or the executive’s eligible dependents lose eligibility for COBRA coverage, and (iv) acceleration of vesting of 100% of the executive’s then outstanding unvested equity awards.

137

##### Table of Contents

Dr. Tamer and Mr. Roach are also entitled to severance if they are terminated without cause or otherwise involuntarily terminated other than in connection with a change of control. Dr. Tamer will be entitled to (i) payment of 100% of his annual base salary in three monthly installments, (ii) payment of any earned but unpaid annual bonus, (iii) payment of COBRA premium costs for up to 12 months, and (iv) acceleration of 25% of his then-unvested equity award shares. Mr. Roach will be entitled to payment of 50% of the sum of his annual base salary plus sales compensation plan in three monthly installments, and any earned but unpaid annual bonus.

Payment of severance benefits under the severance and change of control agreements is subject to the named executive officer’s execution and delivery of an effective release of claims.

Inphi’s named executive officers are also entitled to acceleration of a specified percentage of their target Inphi MSUs upon involuntary termination unrelated to a change of control.

Under the Inphi MSUs granted in 2020, if a named executive officer is involuntarily terminated not related to a change of control, after the first twelve (12) months of the performance period, then subject to the named executive officer’s execution and delivery of an effective release of claims, the named executive officer will earn the target number of shares multiplied by a proration factor.

Terms of Future Equity Awards to Executive Officers

Inphi anticipates that its compensation committee will grant Inphi’s named executive officers additional service-based restricted stock unit awards in March 2021 in connection with Inphi’s annual review process (such awards, the “Focal Awards”). If such Focal Awards are made, they will be service-based restricted stock units subject to quarterly vesting over three years. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Focal Awards will not be subject to vesting acceleration, in whole or in part, in connection with completion of the Delaware Merger (whether alone or in combination with any other event or circumstance). However, if the completion of the Delaware Merger occurs before the first anniversary of the grant date of the Focal Awards, Continuing Employees who are terminated by Inphi (other than for cause) will receive accelerated vesting of such Focal Awards through their next scheduled quarterly tranche.

In addition, Inphi anticipates that its compensation committee will grant Inphi’s named executive officers fiscal year 2020 bonuses in the form of restricted stock unit awards in March 2021 (“2020 Bonus RSUs”). The 2020 Bonus RSUs will vest quarterly as of March 25, June 25, September 25 and December 24, 2021, consistent with Inphi’s current practices. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the 2020 Bonus RSUs held by a person who is a Continuing Employee will convert to Marvell RSUs and continue to vest on the same schedule. A person who is not a Continuing Employee will receive full acceleration of their 2020 Bonus RSUs as of their respective termination dates.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, immediately prior to the completion of the Delaware Merger, Inphi will pay a pro-rata portion of the fiscal year 2021 bonus to employees based on target bonus percentages. Continuing Employees will have their bonuses paid in restricted stock units consistent with Inphi’s past practices, which will convert to Marvell equity and vest on the same quarterly schedule as the 2020 Bonus RSUs before the end of calendar year 2021 (such awards, the “2021 Bonus RSUs”). A person who is not a Continuing Employee will receive a pro-rata portion of their 2021 bonus paid in cash as part of their termination pay.

Post-Closing Marvell Board

Under the Merger Agreement, Marvell has agreed to take all necessary corporate actions prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time to cause the Chief Executive Officer of Inphi to become a member of the HoldCo Board, effective immediately after the Delaware Merger Effective Time.

280G Mitigation Actions

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Inphi and Marvell will discuss actions as may be reasonably appropriate to mitigate any adverse tax consequences that could result from any “excess parachute payments” as defined in

Section 280G of the Code, provided that implementation of such actions by Inphi will require Marvell’s prior approval.

Consistent with such agreement, Inphi’s compensation committee has reviewed Inphi’s performance against the applicable targets under the Inphi MSUs granted to named executive officers in January 2018, which are based on a comparison of Inphi’s total stockholder return (“TSR”) with that of the S&P 500 over a performance period of approximately three years. In December 2020, Inphi’s compensation committee determined that Inphi’s TSR over the performance period to date significantly exceeded the 90th percentile for TSR as compared to the S&P 500. As the performance period was substantially completed in December 2020, Inphi’s compensation committee viewed the outcome as substantially certain not to change over the upcoming months and determined the performance vesting condition under the Inphi MSUs granted in 2018 to be satisfied at the maximum level of achievement and, subject to continued employment through such date, approved the vesting and settlement of such awards on December 31, 2020 rather than in March of 2021, for those officers potentially subject to Section 280G (including the executive officers but not including the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer) to the extent determined appropriate on or before December 31, 2020 subject to final approval of the compensation committee.

Based on the determination of performance by Inphi’s compensation committee, the maximum number of shares subject to the 2018 Inphi MSUs has been included as outstanding Inphi Shares as of the Assumed Closing Date under “The Mergers—Interests of Inphi Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers—Consideration Payable for Outstanding Inphi Shares Pursuant to the Mergers.”

Indemnification of Inphi Directors and Officers

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Inphi’s directors and executive officers will be entitled to certain ongoing indemnification and coverage under directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies following the Mergers. Such indemnification and insurance coverage is further described in the section titled “The Mergers— Indemnification of Directors and Officers.”

Golden Parachute Compensation

The information set forth in the table below is intended to comply with Item 402(t) of the SEC’s Regulation S-K, which requires disclosure of information about certain compensation for each named executive officer of Inphi that will or may be paid or become payable and that is based on, or otherwise relates to, the Mergers. Certain information is not currently available and thus is not included in the table below, such as equity grants in the ordinary course of business to the extent permitted under the Merger Agreement between the filing of this joint proxy statement/prospectus and the assumed completion date of the Mergers, and, as a result, the actual amounts, if any, to be received by a named executive officer may differ in material respects from the amounts set forth below. The amounts shown in the table below are estimates based on multiple assumptions that may or may not actually occur or be accurate on the relevant date, including the assumptions described below and in the footnotes to the table. For purposes of calculating such amounts, the following assumptions were used:

| • |  | The relevant price per Inphi Share is $139.96, which is the average closing price of Inphi Shares on Nasdaq over the five trading days immediately following the first public announcement of the Mergers on October 29, 2020;

| • |  | The Delaware Merger Effective Time is June 29, 2021, which is the termination date of the Merger Agreement (absent any extension) and the assumed date of the completion of the Mergers for purposes of the disclosure in this section; and

| • |  | Each named executive officer of Inphi experiences an involuntary termination as defined in the relevant Inphi compensation plans and agreements immediately following the assumed completion of the Delaware Merger on June 29, 2021.

Inphi anticipates that its compensation committee will grant (i) Focal Awards in March 2021 in connection with its annual review process, (ii) 2020 Bonus RSUs in March 2021, and (iii) 2021 Bonus RSUs immediately prior to the completion of the Delaware Merger. These awards could be subject to vesting acceleration in connection with certain terminations of employment, as described under “The Mergers—Interests of Inphi Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers—Severance and Change of Control Arrangements” and “The Mergers—Interests of Inphi Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers—Terms of Future Equity Awards to Executive Officers.” However, because the amounts in the tables below do not include awards that have not been granted as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus, the potential value of these awards is not included.

Named Executive Officer |  | Severance Payments Attributable to Salary and Bonus ($)(1) |  |  | Value of Accelerated Equity Awards ($)(2) |  |  | Health Care Benefits ($)(8) |  |  | Total ($)(9) |
Dr. Ford Tamer |  |  | 2,240,001 |  |  |  | 17,249,230 | (3) |  |  | 63,151 |  |  |  | 19,552,382 |

(1) | Based upon the amount of a lump sum cash severance payment equal to 100% (200% for Dr. Tamer and 150% for Mr. Edmunds) of the sum of the executive’s annual base salary plus annual target bonus. Such payments are “double trigger” and payable upon a qualifying termination of employment within 12 months of, or within three months prior to, a change of control of Inphi.

(2) | Inphi MSUs held by Inphi’s named executive officers will be earned based upon actual performance as of the date of the completion of the Mergers, which may be below, at, or above target level. Because actual performance is not measurable at this time, this disclosure assumes target performance through the date of the completion of the Mergers.

(3) | Based upon an Inphi Share price of $139.96, multiplied by the unvested Inphi RSUs as of June 29, 2021 (77,485 shares), plus the 2020 Inphi MSUs that would vest on a change of control, assuming performance at target level (with the balance forfeited) (45,759 shares). The value of the unvested Inphi RSUs that would vest on a double-trigger basis upon a qualifying termination of employment within 12 months of, or within three months prior to, a change of control of Inphi, is $10,844,800. The value of the Inphi MSUs, which would vest on a single-trigger basis, is $6,404,430.

(4) | Based upon an Inphi Share price of $139.96, multiplied by the unvested Inphi RSUs as of June 29, 2021 (32,390 shares), plus the 2020 Inphi MSUs that would vest on a change of control, assuming performance at target level (with the balance forfeited) (12,203 shares). The value of the unvested Inphi RSUs that would vest on a double-trigger basis upon a qualifying termination of employment within 12 months of, or within three months prior to, a change of control of Inphi, is $4,533,304. The value of the Inphi MSUs, which would vest on a single-trigger basis, is $1,707,932.

(5) | Based upon an Inphi Share price of $139.96, multiplied by the unvested Inphi RSUs as of June 29, 2021 (25,430 shares), plus the 2020 Inphi MSUs that would vest on a change of control, assuming performance at target level (with the balance forfeited) (10,983 shares). The value of the unvested Inphi RSUs that would vest on a double-trigger basis upon a qualifying termination of employment within 12 months of, or within three months prior to, a change of control of Inphi, is $3,559,183. The value of the Inphi MSUs, which would vest on a single-trigger basis, is $1,537,180.

(7) | Based upon an Inphi Share price of $139.96, multiplied by the unvested Inphi RSUs as of June 29, 2021 (20,777 shares), plus the 2020 Inphi MSUs that would vest on a change of control, assuming performance at target level (with the balance forfeited) (9,092 shares). The value of the unvested Inphi RSUs that would

| vest on a double-trigger basis upon a qualifying termination of employment within 12 months of, or within three months prior to, a change of control of Inphi, is $2,907,949. The value of the Inphi MSUs, which would vest on a single-trigger basis, is $1,272,516.

(8) | Represents the estimated value of (a) continued medical, dental and vision benefits (if the officer elects COBRA) for 12 months (24 months for Dr. Tamer and 18 months for Mr. Edmunds) following a qualifying termination of employment. Such benefits are double-trigger and are provided only upon a qualifying termination of employment within 12 months of, or within three months prior to, a change of control of Inphi.

(9) | No named executive officer is entitled to a gross-up or other make-whole payment in connection with any excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”) on the payments and benefits that he may receive in connection with the transaction, including the payments and benefits reflected above. Instead, in the event that the Excise Tax would be applicable to a named executive officer in connection with the transaction, then the named executive officer’s benefits will be either (1) delivered in full or (2) delivered as to such lesser extent such that no portion of the benefits is subject to the Excise Tax, whichever approach results in the receipt by the named executive officer of the greatest amount of benefits on an after-tax basis. In order to mitigate the expected impact of the Excise Tax, Inphi’s compensation committee intends to approve certain actions described in more detail in the section titled “Interests of Inphi Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers—280G Mitigation Actions.”

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Marvell Indemnification

Marvell was formed under the laws of Bermuda. Set forth below is a description of certain provisions of the Bermuda Companies Act and the Marvell Bye-Laws, as such provisions relate to the indemnification of Marvell’s directors and officers. This description is intended only as a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable provisions of the Bermuda Companies Act and the Marvell Bye-Laws, which are incorporated herein by reference.

The Bermuda Companies Act permits Marvell to indemnify its directors or officers in their capacity as such in respect of any loss arising or liability attaching to them by virtue of any rule of law in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which a director or officer may be guilty in relation to Marvell other than in respect of his or her own fraud or dishonesty.

The Marvell Bye-Laws provide that every director, officer or committee member and any resident representative of Marvell be indemnified and secured harmless out of the assets of Marvell from and against all actions, costs, charges, losses, damages or expenses incurred or sustained in such capacity, and none of them shall be answerable for the acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of the others of them subject to limitations imposed in the Bermuda Companies Act and provided that the indemnity shall not extend to any matter in respect of any fraud or dishonesty.

Bye-Law 32 of the Marvell Bye-Laws stipulates that each Marvell shareholder and Marvell agree to waive any claim or right of action against any director, officer or committee member in respect of any failure to act or any action taken by such director, officer or committee member in the performance of his or her duties with or for Marvell. The waiver does not extend to claims arising under United States federal securities laws or any claims or rights of action arising from the fraud or dishonesty of the director, officer or committee member or to recover any gain, personal profit or advantage to which such individual is not legally entitled.

Marvell has entered into indemnification agreements with its executive officers and directors which require Marvell, among other things, to (i) indemnify the executive officer or director, under the circumstances and to the extent provided for therein, for expenses, damages, judgments, fines and settlements he or she may be required to pay in actions or proceedings to which he or she is or may be made a party by reason of his or her position as a director, executive officer or other agent of Marvell, and otherwise to the fullest extent permitted under

141

##### Table of Contents

applicable law and (ii) advance expenses the executive officer or director may be required to pay in such actions or proceedings.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, all indemnification rights existing in favor of the directors and officers of Marvell and its subsidiaries for their acts and omissions occurring prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, as set forth in Marvell’s and its subsidiaries’ respective organizational documents and as provided in any indemnification agreements between Marvell or its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and their respective directors and officers, on the other hand, will survive the Mergers and will remain in effect for a period of six years from the Bermuda Merger Effective Time to the fullest extent such indemnification rights are available under and consistent with applicable law.

Inphi Indemnification

Inphi is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. Set forth below is a description of certain provisions of the DGCL, the Inphi Charter and the Inphi Bylaws, as such provisions relate to the indemnification of Inphi’s directors and officers. This description is intended only as a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable provisions of the DGCL, the Inphi Charter and the Inphi Bylaws, which are incorporated herein by reference.

Section 145 of the DGCL empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation) (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise (hereinafter an “Indemnitee”). In accordance with Section 145 of the DGCL, the Inphi Bylaws authorize Inphi to indemnify each Indemnitee to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, against all expense, liability and loss actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection with any proceeding.

Any indemnification under the Inphi Bylaws shall be made by Inphi only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL. Such determination shall be made (a) by a majority vote of the directors who are not or were not parties to the proceeding in respect of which indemnification is being sought by the Indemnitee, even though less than a quorum, (b) by a committee of disinterested directors designated by a majority vote of the disinterested directors, even though less than a quorum, (c) if there are no such disinterested directors, or if the disinterested directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion to the Inphi Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Indemnitee, or (d) by the stockholders.

The Inphi Charter provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL (including, but not limited to Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL), Inphi’s directors shall not be personally liable to Inphi or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.

Inphi has entered into indemnification agreements with its executive officers and directors which require Inphi, among other things, to (i) indemnify the executive officer or director, under the circumstances and to the extent provided for therein, for expenses, damages, judgments, fines and settlements he or she may be required to pay in actions or proceedings to which he or she is or may be made a party by reason of his or her position as a director, executive officer or other agent of Inphi, and otherwise to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law and the Inphi Charter and Inphi Bylaws and (ii) advance expenses the officer or director may be required to pay in such actions or proceedings.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, all indemnification rights existing in favor of the directors and officers of Inphi and its subsidiaries for their acts and omissions occurring prior to the Delaware Merger

142

##### Table of Contents

Effective Time, as set forth in Inphi’s and its subsidiaries’ respective organizational documents and as provided in any indemnification agreements between Inphi or its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and their respective directors and officers, on the other hand, will survive the Delaware Merger and will remain in effect for a period of six years from the Delaware Merger Effective Time to the fullest extent such indemnification rights are available under and consistent with Delaware law.

Indemnification of HoldCo, the Surviving Bermuda Company and the Surviving Delaware Corporation

In addition, the Merger Agreement provides that, for a period of six years from the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, HoldCo, the Surviving Bermuda Company and the Surviving Delaware Corporation will maintain in effect, for the benefit of the directors and officers of Marvell and its subsidiaries and the directors and officers of Inphi and its subsidiaries, and with respect to such directors’ and officers’ acts and omissions made in such capacity prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time, the existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy maintained by Marvell and Inphi as of October 29, 2020, to the extent that such insurance coverage is available on commercially reasonable terms, or a substitute policy or policies of comparable coverage is or are available. The Merger Agreement also provides that, notwithstanding the foregoing, HoldCo, the Surviving Bermuda Company and the Surviving Delaware Corporation will not be required to pay an annual premium for an existing (or any substitute) directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy in excess of 300% of the annual premium currently paid for such policies (the “Maximum Premium”). The Merger Agreement further provides that, if any future annual premiums for an existing (or any substitute) directors’ and officers’ insurance policy exceeds the Maximum Premium, HoldCo, the Surviving Bermuda Company and the Surviving Delaware Corporation will be entitled to reduce the amount of coverage of such existing (or any substitute) directors’ and officers’ insurance policy to the amount of coverage that can be obtained for a premium equal to the Maximum Premium.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Surviving Bermuda Company and the Surviving Delaware Corporation or, prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time, Inphi, shall have the right to purchase a pre-paid, non-cancellable “tail” policy on any existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policy on terms and conditions no less favorable than its existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policy for a claims reporting or discovery period of six years from the closing date of the Mergers, but none of HoldCo, the Surviving Bermuda Company or the Surviving Delaware Corporation will be obligated to, and Inphi will not, expend an amount for such “tail” policy that exceeds the Maximum Premium without Marvell’s prior written consent. The Merger Agreement provides that, if the Surviving Bermuda Company or the Surviving Delaware Corporation (each a “Tail Policy Purchaser”) purchases such “tail” policy, such Tail Policy Purchaser will, and HoldCo will cause such Tail Policy Purchaser to, maintain such “tail” policy in full force and effect, in lieu of the obligations of such Tail Policy Purchaser to maintain the Surviving Bermuda Company’s or the Surviving Delaware Corporation’s existing policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance or any substitute for such policy.

HoldCo Matters

HoldCo Board after the Mergers

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, immediately after the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, the HoldCo Board will consist of Marvell’s nine directors immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, plus the Chief Executive Officer of Inphi as of the Delaware Merger Effective Time. Inphi’s current Chief Executive Officer is Dr. Ford Tamer, who is also a member of the Inphi Board. Dr. Tamer is expected to remain Inphi’s Chief Executive Officer through the completion of the Delaware Merger and therefore, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, is expected to be appointed to the HoldCo Board at that time. The HoldCo Board will be elected annually with each director to hold office until the next election of directors and until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified.

##### Table of Contents

HoldCo Management after the Mergers

Marvell has determined that, upon completion of the Mergers, the persons who are officers of Marvell immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time will be the officers of HoldCo.

Compensation of Directors and Other Management

HoldCo has not yet paid any compensation to its directors or executive officers. It is currently expected that the compensation to be paid to directors and executive officers of HoldCo will be substantially similar to the compensation payable to directors and executive officers of Marvell immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time.

Information concerning the compensation paid to, and the employment agreements with, the individual who served as Marvell’s principal executive officer during the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020, the individual who served as Marvell’s principal financial officer during the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020 and the other three most highly compensated executive officers of Marvell for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020 is contained in Marvell’s proxy statement for its 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and is incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus.

HoldCo Dividend Policy

The payment of dividends by HoldCo after the Mergers is subject to the determination of the HoldCo Board. Decisions regarding whether or not to pay dividends and the amount of any dividends will be based on the judgment of the HoldCo Board, compliance with the DGCL, compliance with agreements governing HoldCo’s indebtedness (including the Bridge Facility and the Term Loan Facility), earnings, cash requirements, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, developments in ongoing litigation, the best interests of HoldCo and its stockholders and other factors that the HoldCo Board may consider important. While Marvell anticipates that HoldCo would continue to pay dividends, Marvell can make no assurances that this will be the case.

Conversion of Shares

At the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, unless otherwise specified in the Merger Agreement, each Marvell Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive one HoldCo Share.

At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, unless otherwise specified in the Merger Agreement, each Inphi Share outstanding immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive 2.323 HoldCo Shares and $66.00 in cash, without interest, plus cash in lieu of any fractional HoldCo Shares.

No fraction of HoldCo Share will be issued in connection with the Delaware Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional share will be issued. Any holder of Inphi Shares who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a HoldCo Share (after aggregating all fractions of a HoldCo Share issuable to such holder) will, in lieu of such fraction of a share and, upon surrender of such holder’s Inphi Stock Certificate(s) or the transfer of uncertificated Inphi Shares to the Exchange Agent, be paid in cash the dollar amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, determined by multiplying such fraction by the closing price of a Marvell Share on Nasdaq on the date the Delaware Merger becomes effective.

Exchange of Certificates

Exchange of Marvell Common Shares

Unless otherwise specified in the Merger Agreement, each certificate representing a Marvell Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time will represent an equivalent number of HoldCo Shares from and after the Bermuda Merger Effective Time. Unless otherwise specified in the Merger

144

##### Table of Contents

Agreement, at the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, the Exchange Agent will credit in the stock ledger and other appropriate books and records of HoldCo an equivalent number of HoldCo Shares for any uncertificated Marvell Shares represented by book entry positions, other than certain disregarded Marvell Shares.

Exchange of Inphi Common Stock

The Merger Agreement provides that, as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event within three business days) after the Delaware Merger Effective Time, the Exchange Agent will mail to each record holder of Inphi Stock Certificates and to each holder of uncertificated Inphi Shares represented by book entry positions (each, an “Uncertificated Inphi Share”) a letter of transmittal and instructions to effect the surrender of such holder’s Inphi Stock Certificates or transfer of such holder’s Uncertificated Inphi Shares in exchange for the Delaware Merger Consideration. Upon the delivery of a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent or HoldCo (accompanied by any Inphi Stock Certificates held by such holder), the holder of such Inphi Stock Certificates or Uncertificated Inphi Shares will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Delaware Merger Consideration that such holder has the right to receive in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Inphi Shares formerly represented by such Inphi Stock Certificates or Uncertificated Inphi Shares. For additional information, see “The Merger Agreement—Exchange of Inphi Stock Certificates.”

Treatment of Equity Awards in the Mergers

Marvell Options

The Merger Agreement provides that each Marvell Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into a stock option in respect of HoldCo Shares, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Marvell Option immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time (including with respect to vesting), relating to the number of HoldCo Shares equal to the total number of Marvell Shares subject to such Marvell Option immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time and with an exercise price per HoldCo Share equal to the exercise price per Marvell Share subject to such Marvell Option immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time.

Marvell RSUs

The Merger Agreement provides that each Merger Agreement provides that each Marvell RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time will be converted into a restricted stock unit award with the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Marvell RSU immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time (including with respect to vesting and timing of payment), and relating to the number of HoldCo Shares equal to the total number of Marvell Shares subject to such Marvell RSU immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time.

Marvell PSUs

The Merger Agreement provides that each Marvell PSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time will be converted into a performance-based restricted stock unit with the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Marvell PSU immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time (including with respect to vesting, except that the performance measures will relate to HoldCo), and relating to the number of HoldCo Shares equal to the total number of Marvell Shares subject to such Marvell PSU immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time.

Effect of the Mergers on the Treatment of Inphi Equity Awards

Inphi Options

The Merger Agreement provides that, at the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each In-the-Money Inphi Option that is vested and held by a person who is not a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider, will be canceled, and the holder of such In-the-Money Inphi Option will be entitled to receive (subject to applicable withholding or other taxes) an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the number of Inphi Shares subject to such In-the-Money Inphi Option, multiplied by (ii) the excess of (A) the Equity Award Cash Consideration Amount over (B) the exercise price applicable to such In-the-Money Inphi Option. The Merger Agreement further provides that, following the Delaware Merger Effective Time, any such canceled In-the-Money Inphi Option will no longer be exercisable for Inphi Shares and will entitle the former holder thereof only to the payment just described, which will be made by the Surviving Delaware Corporation within ten business days after the Delaware Merger Effective Time.

The Merger Agreement provides that, at the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each In-the-Money Inphi Option that is held by a person who is a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider, whether vested or unvested, will be assumed by HoldCo and converted into an option to purchase, on substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such In-the-Money Inphi Option, that number of HoldCo Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (i) the number of Inphi Shares subject to such In-the-Money Inphi Option multiplied by (ii) the Conversion Ratio, at an exercise price per HoldCo Share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the per share exercise price for Inphi Shares subject to such In-the-Money Inphi Option, by (B) the Conversion Ratio.

The Merger Agreement provides that, at the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each Out-of-the-Money Inphi Option and each In-the-Money Inphi Option that is unvested and held by a person who is not a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider will be canceled for no consideration. The Merger Agreement provides that, at the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each Inphi Option that is held by a non-employee member of the Inphi Board will be vested in full.

Inphi RSUs

The Merger Agreement provides that, at the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each Inphi RSU that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time and that is held by a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider will be converted into the number of HoldCo restricted stock units (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (i) the number of Inphi Shares subject to such Inphi RSU, multiplied by (ii) the Conversion Ratio. The Merger Agreement further provides that such converted Inphi RSUs will be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the underlying Inphi RSU prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time.

The Merger Agreement provides that, at the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each Inphi RSU that is outstanding and vested (and with respect to which Inphi Shares have not yet been issued) immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time (including any Inphi RSUs that become vested by their terms immediately prior to or as of the Delaware Merger Effective Time) will be canceled and extinguished, and the holder thereof will be entitled to receive (subject to applicable withholding or other taxes, which withholding will first be applied against the cash portion of the consideration paid in respect of such Inphi RSUs): (i) an amount in cash equal to the product of (A) $66.00, multiplied by (B) the total number of Inphi Shares subject to such Inphi RSU; and (ii) a number of HoldCo Shares equal to the product of (A) 2.323, multiplied by (B) the total number of Inphi Shares subject to such Inphi RSU. The Merger Agreement further provides that, following the Delaware Merger Effective Time, any such canceled Inphi RSU will entitle the former holder of such Inphi RSU only to the payment just described, which will be made by the Surviving Delaware Corporation within ten business days after the Delaware Merger Effective Time or at such other time or times following the Delaware Merger Effective Time consistent with the terms of such Inphi RSU to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of additional income tax under Section 409A of the Code.

Inphi MSUs

The Merger Agreement provides that, at the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each Inphi MSU that is outstanding (and with respect to which Inphi Shares have not yet been issued) immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time will be canceled and extinguished. Each such Inphi MSU will be deemed to vest in that percentage of Inphi Shares subject to such Inphi MSU determined by applying the formula in the applicable MSU award agreement as if the performance period ended on the closing date of the Mergers and using the Equity Award Cash Consideration Amount as the fair market value of the Inphi Shares, rounded down to the nearest whole share. The holder of such vested Inphi MSUs will be entitled to receive (subject to applicable withholding or other taxes, which withholding will first be applied against the cash portion of the consideration paid in respect of such vested Inphi MSUs): (i) an amount in cash equal to the product of (A) $66.00, multiplied by (B) the total number of Inphi Shares subject to such vested Inphi MSU; and (ii) a number of HoldCo Shares equal to the product of (A) 2.323, multiplied by (B) the total number of Inphi Shares subject to such vested Inphi MSU. The Merger Agreement further provides that, following the Delaware Merger Effective Time, any such canceled Inphi MSUs will entitle the former holder of such Inphi MSUs only to the payment just described, which will be made by the Surviving Delaware Corporation within ten business days after the Delaware Merger Effective Time or at such other time or times following the Delaware Merger Effective Time consistent with the terms of such Inphi MSU to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of additional income tax under Section 409A of the Code. Any portion of an Inphi MSU that does not vest in accordance with these procedures will be canceled for no consideration.

Inphi PSUs

The Merger Agreement provides that, at the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each Inphi PSU that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time will be assumed and converted into that number of HoldCo restricted stock units, rounded down to the nearest whole share, equal to the product of (a) the target number of Inphi Shares subject to such Inphi PSU, multiplied by (b) the Conversion Ratio. The Merger Agreement provides that such converted performance-based restricted stock units: (i) will vest based on the vesting date or schedule set forth in the award agreement applicable to such Inphi PSU prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time, subject only to the continued service of the grantee with Marvell or any of its affiliates through the applicable vesting date; (ii) will not be subject to any performance-based vesting terms following the Delaware Merger Effective Time; and (iii) will otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Inphi PSUs prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time.

The Merger Agreement provides that, at the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each Inphi PSU that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time and that is held by a person who is not a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider will be canceled for no consideration.

Effect of the Mergers on the Marvell Equity Plans

The Merger Agreement provides that, at the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, HoldCo will assume the Marvell Equity Plans and the share reserve available for future issuances under the Marvell Option Plan and the Marvell ESPP. Accordingly, if the Marvell Merger Proposal is approved by Marvell shareholders, following the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, HoldCo will be able to use the remaining share reserve to grant awards covering HoldCo Shares under the Marvell Option Plan until the Marvell Option Plan is terminated by the HoldCo Board, as described in more detail below. HoldCo will similarly be able to use the remaining share reserve, including the

147

##### Table of Contents

annual “evergreen” increases to that reserve, to make available rights to purchase HoldCo Shares under the Marvell ESPP for the remaining term (currently running until June 2023), as described in more detail below.

All references in a Marvell Equity Plan or award agreement thereunder to a number of Marvell Shares will be deemed amended to refer instead to a number of HoldCo Shares, and the compensation committee of the HoldCo Board shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Marvell Board or any committee thereof with respect to the administration of any Marvell Equity Plan.

Any rights to purchase Marvell Shares under the Marvell ESPP that are outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time will be converted into rights to purchase HoldCo Shares on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the Marvell ESPP immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, and relating to the number of HoldCo Shares equal to the total number of Marvell Shares subject to the Marvell ESPP immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time.

Marvell Option Plan

The Marvell Option Plan was adopted in April 1995 and most recently amended on September 24, 2020. The Marvell Option Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, stock unit awards, performance awards, and other stock-based awards, which may be granted to employees, directors and consultants. The Marvell Option Plan will continue in effect until terminated by the Marvell Board pursuant to the terms of the Marvell Option Plan.

Cavium Plans

Following Marvell’s acquisition of Cavium, Inc. (“Cavium”) and in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 19, 2017, by and between Marvell and Cavium, certain outstanding options to purchase shares of Cavium common stock and certain restricted stock units with respect to Cavium common stock, each granted under the Cavium Plans, were assumed by Marvell and converted into Marvell Options and Marvell RSUs, respectively. No additional awards were granted under the Cavium Plans following the effective date of the Cavium acquisition.

Aquantia Plans

In accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 6, 2019, by and between Marvell and Aquantia Corp. (“Aquantia”), certain outstanding options to purchase shares of Aquantia common stock and certain restricted stock units with respect to Aquantia common stock, each granted under the Aquantia Plans, were assumed by Marvell and converted into Marvell Options and Marvell RSUs, respectively. No additional awards were granted under the Aquantia Plans following the effective date of the Aquantia acquisition.

Marvell ESPP

The Marvell ESPP was adopted in June 2000 and most recently amended and restated on October 31, 2011. Under the Marvell ESPP, participants may elect to purchase Marvell Shares through payroll deductions, which may not exceed 15% of their total cash compensation. Pursuant to the terms of the Marvell ESPP, the “look-back” period for the stock purchase price is 24 months. Offering and purchase periods begin on December 8 and June 8 of each year. Participants enrolled in a 24-month offering period will continue in that offering period until the earlier of the end of the offering period or the reset of the offering period. An offering period reset occurs if the fair market value of Marvell’s Shares on any purchase date is less than it was on the first day of the offering period. Participants in a 24-month offering period will be granted the right to purchase Marvell Shares at a price per share that is 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the shares at (i) the participant’s entry date into the 24-month offering period or (ii) the end of each six-month purchase period within the offering period. The Marvell ESPP provides for an increase on the first business day of each calendar year in the Marvell Shares

148

##### Table of Contents

reserved for issuance equal to the lesser of (a) 8,000,000 Marvell Shares or (b) 1.5% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Marvell on such date. The Marvell ESPP will continue in effect until June 2023 unless sooner terminated pursuant to its terms.

Effect of the Mergers on Inphi Equity Plans

At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, HoldCo will assume certain outstanding awards under the Inphi Equity Plans, as explained above; however, it is not expected that HoldCo will grant future awards under the Inphi Equity Plans following the Delaware Merger Effective Time.

Listing of HoldCo Common Shares on Nasdaq

The Merger Agreement provides that HoldCo and Marvell will use their reasonable best efforts to cause to be approved for listing (subject to official notice of issuance) on Nasdaq at or prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, under the trading symbol “MRVL,” the HoldCo Shares to be issued in connection with the Mergers and the HoldCo Shares to be reserved upon settlement or exercise of equity awards in respect of HoldCo common stock.

Delisting and Deregistration of Marvell Shares and Inphi Shares

If the Delaware Merger is completed, Inphi Shares will be delisted from Nasdaq and will no longer be registered under the Exchange Act. If the Bermuda Merger is completed, HoldCo Shares will be substituted for Marvell Shares on Nasdaq, and Marvell Shares will no longer be registered under the Exchange Act.

Regulatory Approvals Required for the Mergers

The completion of the Mergers is subject to compliance with the HSR Act, and the expiration or termination of the waiting period (and any extension thereof) applicable to the completion of the Mergers under the HSR Act. Marvell and Inphi filed the notifications required under the HSR Act with the Premerger Notification Office of the Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice on November 13, 2020. The applicable waiting period under the HSR Act expired on December 14, 2020.

The completion of the Mergers is also subject to compliance with applicable foreign antitrust laws and regulations and other legal requirements. Under the Merger Agreement, the parties have agreed to provide applicable notifications under the antitrust laws of the People’s Republic of China.

Under the Merger Agreement, each of HoldCo, Marvell and Inphi has agreed to use reasonable best efforts, subject to specified limitations, to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to complete the Mergers and make effective the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. See “The Merger Agreement—Efforts to Complete the Mergers” and “The Merger Agreement—Conditions to Completion of the Mergers” for more information.

Litigation Related to the Mergers

Marvell, Inphi and the boards of directors of both companies currently are and may in the future become parties to various litigations related to the Merger Agreement and the Mergers, including putative shareholder class actions. Five lawsuits have been filed against Inphi and the Inphi Board in federal court: Wang v. Inphi Corp., et. al. (filed December 24, 2020, Northern District of California); Cohen v. Inphi Corp., et al. (filed January 5, 2021, Southern District of New York); Jones v. Inphi Corp., et al. (filed January 8, 2021, Eastern District of New York); Rosenfeld v. Inphi Corp., et al. (filed January 20, 2021, Northern District of California); and Kearny v. Inphi Corp., et al. (filed January 29, 2021, Northern District of California). Two additional federal complaints have been filed against Inphi, the Inphi Board and certain Marvell entities involved in the Mergers: McIntosh v. Inphi Corp., et al. (filed December 30, 2020, Southern District of New York) and Poe v. Inphi Corp., et al. (filed

149

##### Table of Contents

January 16, 2021, District of Delaware). Three lawsuits have been filed against only Marvell and the Marvell Board in federal court: Raul v. Marvell Tech. Group Ltd., et al. (filed January 8, 2021, Southern District of New York); Cardone v. Marvell Tech. Group Ltd., et al. (filed January 11, 2021, Eastern District of New York); and Shumacher v. Marvell Tech. Group, Ltd., et al. (filed January 16, 2021, District of Delaware). All ten complaints, filed as Exhibits 99.8 through 99.17 herewith, assert claims for violation of Section 14(a) and Rule 14a-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act based on allegations that the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed by HoldCo with the SEC on December 22, 2020 omits material information. The lawsuits also assert control person claims under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the Marvell Board and the Inphi Board. One of the complaints that names only Inphi and the Inphi Board asserts an additional claim for breach of fiduciary duty. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, no settlement of any litigation related to the Mergers may be agreed to by Inphi without the prior written consent of Marvell.

Among other remedies, the plaintiffs in such matters are seeking to enjoin the Mergers. The results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict, and could delay or prevent the Mergers from becoming effective in a timely manner. Moreover, the pending litigations and any future additional litigations could be time consuming and expensive, could divert Marvell’s and Inphi’s management’s attention away from their regular businesses, and, if any one of these lawsuits is adversely resolved against either Marvell or Inphi, could have a material adverse effect on Marvell’s or Inphi’s financial condition or the condition of the combined company.

If a settlement or other resolution is not reached in the potential lawsuits referenced above and the plaintiffs secure injunctive or other relief prohibiting, delaying or otherwise adversely affecting Marvell’s or Inphi’s ability to complete the Mergers on the terms contemplated by the Merger Agreement, or there is a pending or overtly threatened legal proceeding brought by a governmental entity, then the Mergers may not become effective in a timely manner or at all.

No Financing Condition; Financing

The obligations of Marvell and HoldCo to complete the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is not subject to a financing condition. Marvell and HoldCo intend to fund the cash portion of the consideration for the Mergers with borrowings. Other fees and expenses required to be paid in connection with the Mergers will be paid using a combination of borrowings and cash on hand.

Marvell and HoldCo have obtained financing commitments for (i) a $2.5 billion senior unsecured 364-day Bridge Facility pursuant to the Bridge Commitment Letter, and (ii) a $1.75 billion senior unsecured Term Loan Facility comprised of the $875.0 million 3-Year Term Loan and the $875.0 million 5-Year Term Loan, pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement. The Term Loan Facility commitments under the Facilities Commitment Letter have been replaced by the Term Loan Agreement, pursuant to which the Term Loan Facility is evidenced thereby.

Pursuant to the Bridge Commitment Letter, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, JPMorgan Chase Bank and the other Financing Sources that have become parties to the Bridge Commitment Letter have committed to provide the full amount of the Bridge Facility and pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, JPMorgan Chase Bank and the other lenders party to the Term Loan Agreement, have committed to provide the full amount of the term loans described in the Term Loan Facility. HoldCo will be the borrower under each of the Bridge Facility and the Term Loan Facility on the closing date of the Mergers.

Additionally, Marvell and HoldCo have entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of December 7, 2020, with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, the guarantors party thereto, and the other lenders party thereto, pursuant to which Marvell and HoldCo have obtained commitments for a senior unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate committed amount of up to $750.0 million with a five-year term (the “Revolving Facility”). The Revolving Facility replaced Marvell’s existing $500.0 million revolving credit facility.

150

##### Table of Contents

The funding of the Bridge Facility provided for in the Bridge Commitment Letter and the funding of the Term Loan Facility provided for in Term Loan Agreement, in each case, is contingent upon the satisfaction of customary conditions, including (i) execution and delivery of definitive documentation with respect to the Bridge Facility in accordance with the terms set forth in the Bridge Commitment Letter and (ii) completion of the Mergers in accordance with the Merger Agreement. The actual documentation governing the Bridge Facility has not been finalized, and accordingly, the actual terms may differ from the description of such terms in the Bridge Commitment Letter.

Marvell expects to replace some or all of the Bridge Facility prior to the completion of the Mergers with permanent financing. There can be no assurance that the permanent financing will be obtained prior to the completion of the Mergers and the terms of expected permanent financing are uncertain at this time.

Maturity

The Bridge Facility will mature on the date that is 364 days after the closing date of the Mergers. The 3-Year Term Loan will mature on the date that is three years after the closing date of the Mergers. The 5-Year Term Loan will mature on the date that is five years after the closing date of the Mergers.

The 3-Year Term Loan will not be subject to required amortization payments. The 5-Year Term Loan will be subject to required amortization payments, commencing at the end of the first full fiscal quarter of HoldCo occurring after the closing date of the Mergers, in equal quarterly installments of (i) 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the 5-Year Term Loan incurred by HoldCo on the closing date of the Mergers for the first four full quarters following the closing date of the Mergers, (ii) 2.5% of the aggregate principal amount of the 5-Year Term Loan incurred by HoldCo on the closing date of the Mergers for the fifth through twelfth full quarters following the closing date of the Mergers, and (iii) 3.75% of the aggregate principal amount of the 5-Year Term Loan incurred by HoldCo on the closing date of the Mergers for the each quarter thereafter.

Commitment Reductions and Prepayments

Voluntary reductions of the unutilized commitments with respect to the Bridge Facility and Term Loan Facility and prepayments of borrowings under the Bridge Facility and Term Loan Facility will be permitted at any time, without premium or penalty, in minimum principal amounts to be set forth in the definitive documentation for the Bridge Facility and as set forth in the Term Loan Agreement, as applicable.

Subject to certain exceptions and thresholds, the Bridge Facility will be required to be prepaid with (or, prior to the closing date of the Mergers and the borrowing thereunder, commitments with respect to the Bridge Facility will be required to be reduced by the amount of) net cash proceeds of (a) non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions, (b) the issuance of certain equity securities or (c) the incurrence of certain indebtedness (other than the Term Loan Facility), in each case subject to limited exceptions. In addition, the commitments with respect to the Bridge Facility will be required to be reduced by the amount of any commitments to any term loan facility entered into for the purpose of financing the Mergers (other than the Term Loan Facility). The Term Loan Facility is not subject to mandatory prepayments or commitment reductions.

Guarantees and Collateral

The Bridge Facility and the Term Loan Facility will be senior unsecured obligations of HoldCo and, to the extent required to become and remain guarantors under the Bridge Facility and the Term Loan Facility, Marvell and Inphi. From the closing date of the Mergers, all obligations of HoldCo under the Bridge Facility and the Term Loan Facility, as applicable, will be unconditionally guaranteed by (a) Marvell so long as Marvell is the issuer, borrower or guarantor of indebtedness for borrowed money (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Marvell’s existing unsecured notes) in an aggregate outstanding principal amount in excess of $100.0 million and (b) Inphi so long as Inphi is the issuer, borrower or guarantor of indebtedness for borrowed money (including, for the

151

##### Table of Contents

avoidance of doubt, Inphi’s existing convertible notes) in an aggregate outstanding principal amount in excess of $100.0 million; provided that the existing convertible notes of Inphi shall be deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of this clause (b) until the date that is 90 days following the closing date of the Mergers. In the event that the conditions requiring the guarantee by Marvell or Inphi, as applicable, are no longer satisfied, HoldCo may request the release of Marvell and/or Inphi, as applicable, from such guarantee.

Covenants and Events of Default

The Bridge Facility will contain and the Term Loan Facility contains a number of negative covenants (to be applicable to HoldCo, Marvell and their respective subsidiaries) that, subject to certain exceptions, include limitations on, among other things:

| • |  | indebtedness;

| • |  | liens;

| • |  | sale and leaseback transactions; and

| • |  | mergers and other fundamental changes.

The Bridge Facility will also contain and the Term Loan Facility contains a total leverage ratio financial maintenance covenant, with testing commencing with the first fiscal quarter ended after the closing date of the Mergers, requiring that the ratio of consolidated total indebtedness of HoldCo to consolidated EBITDA does not exceed 4.75 to 1.00, with step-downs to: (i) from and after the fiscal quarter ending on or about April 30, 2022, 4.50 to 1.00, (ii) from and after the fiscal quarter ending on or about October 31, 2022, 4.25 to 1.00, (iii) from and after the fiscal quarter ending on or about April 30, 2023, 4.00 to 1.00, (iv) from and after the fiscal quarter ending on or about October 31, 2023, 3.50 to 1.00, and (iv) from and after the fiscal quarter ending on or about April 30, 2024 and thereafter, 3.25 to 1.00.

The Bridge Facility will contain and the Term Loan Facility contains a number of customary events of default permitting, among other things, acceleration of the final maturity of the Bridge Facility and the Term Loan Facility, as applicable, in the event of an occurrence thereof.

Rights of Appraisal for Marvell Shareholders

Any Marvell shareholder who does not vote in favor of the Bermuda Merger, is not satisfied that such holder has been offered fair value for such holder’s Marvell Shares and validly submits an application for appraisal may have the fair value of such holder’s shares appraised by the Bermuda Court under Section 106 of the Bermuda Companies Act. A Marvell shareholder intending to apply to the Bermuda Court for appraisal of such holder’s shares MUST file an application for appraisal with the Bermuda Court within ONE MONTH after the giving of the notice convening the Marvell Shareholder Meeting. The notice delivered with this joint proxy statement/prospectus constitutes this notice.

In any case where the value of dissenting Marvell Shares held by a dissenting shareholder who has properly exercised appraisal rights is appraised by the Bermuda Court after the completion of the Bermuda Merger to be greater than the value of the Bermuda Merger Consideration, HoldCo will be required to pay such holder an amount in cash equal to the difference between the value of the Bermuda Merger Consideration received by such holder and the fair value appraised by the Bermuda Court. This amount must be paid within one month after the Bermuda Court’s determination.

ANY MARVELL SHAREHOLDER WHO VOTES “FOR” THE BERMUDA MERGER PROPOSAL WILL HAVE NO RIGHT TO APPLY TO THE BERMUDA COURT TO APPRAISE THE FAIR VALUE OF SUCH HOLDER’S MARVELL SHARES.

There is no right of appeal from an appraisal by the Bermuda Court. The costs of any application to the Bermuda Court to appraise the fair value of the Marvell Shares will be allocated at the discretion of the Bermuda Court.

152

##### Table of Contents

For a more complete description of Marvell shareholders’ appraisal rights, see “Bermuda Appraisal Rights” beginning on page 71.

Rights of Appraisal for Inphi Stockholders

Under the DGCL, if the Delaware Merger is completed, record holders of Inphi Shares who do not vote in favor of the Inphi Merger Proposal and who otherwise properly exercise and perfect such holders’ appraisal rights will be entitled to seek appraisal for, and obtain payment in cash for the judicially determined fair value of, such holders’ Inphi Shares, in lieu of receiving the Delaware Merger Consideration. The “fair value” could be higher or lower than, or the same as, the Delaware Merger Consideration. The relevant provisions of the DGCL are included as Annex H to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Inphi stockholders are encouraged to read these provisions carefully and in their entirety. Moreover, due to the complexity of the procedures for exercising and perfecting the right to seek appraisal, Inphi stockholders who are considering exercising and perfecting that right are encouraged to seek the advice of legal counsel. Failure to comply strictly with these provisions may result in loss of the right of appraisal. For a more complete description of Inphi stockholders’ appraisal rights, see “Delaware Appraisal Rights” beginning on page 82.

Accounting Treatment

The Delaware Merger will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting under ASC 805, with Marvell as the accounting acquirer, using the fair value concepts defined in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, and based on the historical consolidated financial statements of Marvell and Inphi. Under ASC 805, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized and measured at their assumed acquisition date fair value, while transaction costs and restructuring costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The excess of merger consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill. IPR&D is recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the assumed merger date until completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Upon completion of development, acquired IPR&D assets are considered amortizable, finite-lived assets. The Bermuda Merger will be accounted for as a transaction between entities under common control in accordance with ASC 805-50. Due to the Bermuda Merger not having any pro forma effects, pro forma information has not been provided.

Shareholder Rights Plan

Inphi has not adopted a shareholder rights plan. Pursuant to the Marvell Bye-Laws, the Marvell Board has the right to adopt a shareholder rights plan, provided that any such plan adopted would have a term of less than 12 months following adoption of the plan or be submitted to Marvell shareholders for approval not more than 12 months following the adoption of the plan. The Marvell Board has not adopted a shareholder rights plan to date.

Anti-Takeover Statute

Inphi is subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, an anti-takeover statute. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly traded company from entering into a business combination with an “interested stockholder” (as defined in Section 203) for a period of three years after the person becomes an interested stockholder, unless, among other exceptions, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the relevant business combination or the transaction that resulted in such stockholder becoming an interested stockholder. A Delaware corporation can elect not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL, which generally protects publicly-traded Delaware corporations from hostile takeovers, and from actions following such takeover. Inphi has not opted out of Section 203 of the DGCL, but the Inphi Board has approved the Merger, thereby making Section 203 of the DGCL inapplicable to the Delaware Merger.

THE MERGER AGREEMENT

The following discussion summarizes certain material provisions of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex B to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated by reference herein. The rights and obligations of the parties are governed by the express terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and not by this summary. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Merger Agreement. Marvell and Inphi urge you to read carefully this entire joint proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the documents incorporated herein by reference, before making any decisions regarding either of the Mergers.

The Merger Agreement has been included to provide you with information regarding its terms, and Marvell and Inphi recommend that you read the Merger Agreement carefully and in its entirety. Except for its status as the contractual document that establishes and governs the legal relations among the parties with respect to the Mergers, Marvell and Inphi do not intend for the Merger Agreement to be a source of factual, business or operational information about Marvell, Inphi or HoldCo. The representations and warranties described below and included in the Merger Agreement were made by Marvell and Inphi to each other as of specific dates. The assertions contained in those representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the Merger Agreement and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by Marvell and Inphi in connection with negotiating the terms of the Merger Agreement, which you should consider as you read the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement. The representations and warranties are qualified in their entirety by certain information Marvell and Inphi filed with the SEC prior to the date of the Merger Agreement, as well as by confidential disclosure schedules that Marvell and Inphi delivered to each other in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement. Moreover, the representations and warranties may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality that may be different from what may be viewed as material to Marvell shareholders or to Inphi stockholders, and the representations and warranties may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between Marvell and Inphi rather than establishing matters as facts. Accordingly, you should not rely on the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement as characterizations of the actual state of facts about Marvell and Inphi, and you should read the information provided elsewhere in this joint proxy statement/prospectus and in the documents that are incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus for information regarding Marvell and Inphi and their respective businesses. See “Where You Can Find More Information.”

The Mergers

On October 29, 2020, Marvell, HoldCo, Bermuda Merger Sub, Delaware Merger Sub and Inphi entered into the Merger Agreement.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (a) Bermuda Merger Sub will be merged with and into Marvell, whereupon the separate corporate existence of Bermuda Merger Sub will cease and Marvell will continue as the Surviving Bermuda Company and as a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo, and (b) Delaware Merger Sub will be merged with and into Inphi, whereupon the separate corporate existence of Delaware Merger Sub will cease and Inphi will continue as the Surviving Delaware Corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo. The Bermuda Merger will have the effects set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement and the applicable provisions of the Bermuda Companies Act, and the Delaware Merger will have the effects set forth in the Merger Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. The memorandum of association and bye-laws of the Surviving Bermuda Company will be amended and restated as of the Bermuda Merger Effective Time to conform to the memorandum of association and bye-laws of Bermuda Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, except that the name of the company reflected therein will be “Marvell Technology Group Ltd.,” and the directors and officers of the Surviving Bermuda Company immediately after the Bermuda Merger Effective Time will be the respective individuals who are directors and officers (including the corporate secretary) of Bermuda Merger Sub immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until

154

##### Table of Contents

their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, as the case may be. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Delaware Corporation will be amended and restated as of the Delaware Merger Effective Time to conform to the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Delaware Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time, except that the name of the corporation reflected therein will be “Inphi Corporation,” and the directors and officers of the Surviving Delaware Corporation immediately after the Delaware Merger Effective Time will be the respective individuals who are directors and officers of Delaware Merger Sub immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, as the case may be. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of HoldCo will be amended and restated as of the Bermuda Merger Effective Time to conform to Exhibit C and Exhibit D of the Merger Agreement, respectively, and the directors and officers of HoldCo immediately after the Bermuda Merger Effective Time will be the respective individuals who are directors and officers of Marvell immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, as the case may be. Inphi’s current Chief Executive Officer is Dr. Ford Tamer, who is also a member of the Inphi Board. Dr. Tamer is expected to remain Inphi’s Chief Executive Officer through the completion of the Delaware Merger and therefore, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, is expected to be appointed to the HoldCo Board at that time.

Effective Time and Completion of the Mergers

The Merger Agreement provides that the completion of the Mergers will take place on the fifth business day after the date on which the last to be satisfied or waived of the conditions to the completion of the Mergers set forth in the Merger Agreement (other than the conditions relating to Marvell’s and Inphi’s receipt of certain certifications, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions) is satisfied or waived. The Merger Agreement further provides that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the completion of the Mergers would otherwise be required to occur during the last seven days of any fiscal quarter of Marvell, then subject to the continued satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the completion of the Mergers set forth in the Merger Agreement (other than the conditions relating to Marvell’s and Inphi’s receipt of certain certifications, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions), the completion of the Mergers will occur instead on the earlier of (a) the second business day of the following fiscal quarter of Marvell, and (b) the End Date, unless Marvell and Inphi jointly designate another date.

Prior to the completion of the Mergers, Marvell will cause an application for registration of the Surviving Bermuda Company to be executed and delivered to the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda (the “Registrar”), which will include a request that the Registrar issue a certificate of merger with respect to the Bermuda Merger on the date, and at the time, specified therein, and the Bermuda Merger will become effective as of the time and date shown on the certificate of merger issued by the Registrar.

The Merger Agreement provides that Inphi will cause a certificate of merger satisfying the applicable requirements of the DGCL, and specifying that the Delaware Merger will become effective one minute after the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, to be duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the Delaware Merger will become effective as of the time and date specified therein.

Merger Consideration

At the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, each Marvell Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time (other than Marvell Shares held, directly or indirectly, by Marvell, Inphi or any of their respective subsidiaries, or held in Marvell’s treasury) will be converted into the right to receive one HoldCo Share.

At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each Inphi Share that is outstanding immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time (other than Inphi Shares held, directly or indirectly, by Marvell, Inphi or any of their

155

##### Table of Contents

respective subsidiaries, or held in Inphi’s treasury, and shares as to which appraisal rights have been properly exercised pursuant to Delaware law, as described in “Delaware Appraisal Rights”) will be converted into the right to receive the Delaware Merger Consideration.

At the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, any Marvell Shares that are held by Marvell (or held in Marvell’s treasury) or held, directly or indirectly, by HoldCo or Bermuda Merger Sub immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time will be canceled and retired and will cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange for such shares. At the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, any Marvell Shares that are held by any wholly owned subsidiary of Marvell (other than HoldCo and Delaware Merger Sub) or by Inphi or any subsidiary of Inphi immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time will be unaffected by the Bermuda Merger and will remain outstanding as an equal number of common shares of the Surviving Bermuda Company.

At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, any Inphi Shares that are held by Inphi (or held in Inphi’s treasury) or held by HoldCo or Delaware Merger Sub immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time will be canceled and retired and will cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange for such shares. At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, any Inphi Shares that are held, directly or indirectly, by any wholly owned subsidiary of Inphi, by Marvell or by any subsidiary of Marvell (other than HoldCo and Delaware Merger Sub) immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time will be unaffected by the Delaware Merger and will remain outstanding as an equal number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Delaware Corporation.

The Merger Agreement provides that if, between the date of the Merger Agreement and the Delaware Merger Effective Time, the outstanding Inphi Shares are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, or if a stock dividend is declared by Inphi during such period, or a record date with respect to any such event occurs during such period, then the Inphi Exchange Ratio and Per Share Cash Amount will be adjusted to the extent appropriate to provide the same economic effect as contemplated by the Merger Agreement prior to such action. The Merger Agreement also provides that if, between the date of the Merger Agreement and the Delaware Merger Effective Time, the issued and outstanding Marvell Shares or the outstanding HoldCo Shares are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, or if a share or stock dividend is declared by Marvell or HoldCo during such period, or a record date with respect to any such event occurs during such period, then the Inphi Exchange Ratio (but not the Per Share Cash Amount) and the Bermuda Merger Consideration will be adjusted to the extent appropriate to provide the same economic effect as contemplated by the Merger Agreement prior to such action.

Fractional Shares

The Merger Agreement provides that no fraction of a HoldCo Share will be issued in connection with the Delaware Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional share will be issued. The Merger Agreement further provides that any holder of Inphi Shares who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a HoldCo Share (after aggregating all fractions of HoldCo Shares issuable to such holder) will, in lieu of such fraction of a share and, upon surrender of such holder’s Inphi Stock Certificate(s) or the transfer of uncertificated Inphi Shares represented by book entry positions to the Exchange Agent, be paid in cash the dollar amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, determined by multiplying such fraction by the closing price of a Marvell Share on Nasdaq on the closing date of the Mergers.

Exchange Fund

HoldCo has selected the Exchange Agent to act as exchange agent in the Mergers. The Merger Agreement provides that, promptly after the Delaware Merger Effective Time on the closing date of the Mergers, HoldCo will deposit with the Exchange Agent: (a) certificates or book entry positions representing the aggregate number

156

##### Table of Contents

of HoldCo Shares issuable as Bermuda Merger Consideration for Marvell Shares and as Delaware Merger Consideration for Inphi Shares; and (b) cash sufficient to make payments of the cash consideration payable as Delaware Merger Consideration for Inphi Shares.

Exchange of Marvell Certificates

The Merger Agreement provides that, from and after the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, each certificate representing a Marvell Share (other than Marvell Shares held by Marvell, HoldCo, Bermuda Merger Sub or Inphi or any other subsidiary of Marvell or Inphi) will represent an equivalent number of HoldCo Shares. The Merger Agreement further provides that, at the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, the Exchange Agent will credit in the stock ledger and other appropriate books and records of HoldCo an equivalent number of HoldCo Shares for any uncertificated Marvell Shares represented by book entry positions (other than Marvell Shares held by Marvell, HoldCo, Bermuda Merger Sub or Inphi or any other subsidiary of Marvell or Inphi).

Exchange of Inphi Stock Certificates

The Merger Agreement provides that, as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event within three business days) after the Delaware Merger Effective Time, the Exchange Agent will mail to record holders of Inphi Stock Certificates and Uncertificated Inphi Shares as of immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time a letter of transmittal in customary form and instructions on how to surrender such Inphi Stock Certificates or transfer such Uncertificated Inphi Shares in exchange for the Delaware Merger Consideration. The Merger Agreement further provides that, upon surrender of an Inphi Stock Certificate to the Exchange Agent (or compliance with the Exchange Agent’s procedures for transfer of Uncertificated Inphi Shares), together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent or HoldCo, (a) such record holder will be entitled to receive the Delaware Merger Consideration and (b) such Inphi Stock Certificate or such Uncertificated Inphi Shares will be canceled.

The Merger Agreement provides that no dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to HoldCo Shares with a record date after the Delaware Merger Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Inphi Stock Certificate or to the holder of any uncertificated Inphi Share that has not been transferred, in each case with respect to the HoldCo Shares that such holder has the right to receive in the Delaware Merger, until such holder surrenders such Inphi Stock Certificate or transfers such Uncertificated Inphi Shares (at which time such holder will be entitled, subject to the effect of applicable escheat or similar laws, to receive all such dividends and distributions, without interest).

The Merger Agreement provides that, if any Inphi Stock Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, then HoldCo may, as a condition to the payment of the Delaware Merger Consideration, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Inphi Stock Certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit and to deliver a bond as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Exchange Agent, HoldCo or the Surviving Delaware Corporation with respect to such Inphi Stock Certificate.

The Merger Agreement provides that any portion of the HoldCo Shares or cash amounts deposited by HoldCo with the Exchange Agent (or any dividends or distributions received by the Exchange Agent with respect to such HoldCo Shares) that has not been distributed within 365 days after the closing date of the Mergers will be delivered to HoldCo upon demand, and any former holders of Inphi Shares who have not surrendered such holders’ Inphi Stock Certificates or transferred such holders’ Uncertificated Inphi Shares may thereafter look only to HoldCo for satisfaction of such holders’ claims for the Delaware Merger Consideration and any dividends or distributions with respect to HoldCo Shares included in the Delaware Merger Consideration.

On the Final Exercise Date, the funds credited as of such date under the Inphi ESPP within the payroll withholding account for each participant under the Inphi ESPP will be used to purchase Inphi Shares in accordance with the terms of the Inphi ESPP, and each share purchased thereunder immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time will be canceled at the Delaware Merger Effective Time and converted into the right to receive the Delaware Merger Consideration in accordance with the Merger Agreement, subject to applicable withholding taxes.

| • |  | any adverse change in economic, financial, capital market, political or social conditions in the United States or in other locations in which that Principal Party and its subsidiaries have material operations and that does not have a disproportionate adverse impact on that Principal Party and its subsidiaries relative to other participants in the semiconductor industry (it being understood that the incremental disproportionate adverse impact or impacts of such adverse change may be taken into account in determining whether there has been or would reasonably be expected to be a Material Adverse Effect on that Principal Party);

| • |  | any adverse change in conditions generally affecting the semiconductor industry that does not have a disproportionate adverse impact on that Principal Party and its subsidiaries relative to other participants in the semiconductor industry; (it being understood that the incremental disproportionate adverse impact or impacts of such adverse change may be taken into account in determining whether there has been or would reasonably be expected to be a Material Adverse Effect on that Principal Party);

| • |  | changes in the stock price or trading volume of that Principal Party’s listed shares (it being understood that the facts or circumstances giving rise to any such change in stock price or trading volume may be taken into account in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect on that Principal Party has occurred or would reasonably be expected to occur, if such facts or circumstances are not otherwise excluded from such determination pursuant to this proviso);

| • |  | the failure of that Principal Party to meet securities analysts’ published projections of earnings, revenues or other financial metrics or the failure of that Principal Party to meet internal projections, forecasts or budgets of revenues, earnings or other financial metrics (it being understood, however, that the facts or circumstances giving rise to any such failure may be taken into account in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect on that Principal Party has occurred or would reasonably be expected to occur, if such facts or circumstances are not otherwise excluded from such determination pursuant to this proviso);

##### Table of Contents

| • |  | any act of war, sabotage or terrorism that occurs, worsens or changes after the date of the Merger Agreement in the U.S. or in other locations in which that Principal Party and its subsidiaries have material operations and that does not have a disproportionate adverse impact on that Principal Party and its subsidiaries relative to other participants in the semiconductor industry (it being understood that the incremental disproportionate adverse impact or impacts of such act of war, sabotage or terrorism may be taken into account in determining whether there has been or would reasonably be expected to be a Material Adverse Effect on that Principal Party);

Financing Matters

Under the Merger Agreement, Marvell and HoldCo have agreed to use their respective reasonable best efforts to do all things necessary or advisable to arrange, obtain and complete the Debt Financing on or prior to the date that the Mergers are required to be completed in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letters. The Merger Agreement further provides that if all conditions to the Debt Financing have been satisfied and Marvell’s closing conditions have been satisfied or waived, Marvell and HoldCo will use their reasonable best efforts to take all actions within its control to cause the Financing Sources to fund the Debt Financing at or prior to the completion of the Mergers, including to seek to enforce its rights with respect to funding under the Debt Commitment Letters and the definitive agreements contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters with respect to the Debt Financing (the “Definitive Debt Financing Agreements”) in the event of a breach thereof by the Financing Sources party thereto. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Marvell and HoldCo have acknowledged that their obligations to complete the Mergers are not subject to or conditioned in any way on HoldCo or Marvell or any of their respective affiliates obtaining funds therefor pursuant to the Debt Financing or any Alternative Financing (as defined below).

Under the Merger Agreement, Marvell and HoldCo have agreed to use their respective reasonable best efforts to maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letters (and any Definitive Debt Financing Agreements) until the earliest to occur of the completion of the Mergers, the consummation of the Debt Financing and the valid termination of the Merger Agreement. Under the Merger Agreement, Marvell and HoldCo have further agreed to not agree to any amendments or modifications to any condition, or waive any of their respective rights, under the Debt Commitment Letters or the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements without the prior written consent of Inphi if any such amendment, modification or waiver would (a) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing to an amount that, together with HoldCo’s and Marvell’s cash on hand, would be less than an amount reasonably required to complete the Mergers, (b) impose new or additional conditions or (c) otherwise amend, modify or expand any conditions to the initial funding of the Debt Financing, in each case, in a manner that would reasonably be expected to: (i) materially delay or prevent the completion of the Mergers; or (ii) adversely impact the ability of Marvell or HoldCo to (A) enforce their respective rights against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letters or the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements or (B) cause the Mergers to be timely completed.

The Merger Agreement provides that, if any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letters, and such portion of the Debt Financing is reasonably determined by Marvell to be required to complete the Mergers and perform its other obligations under the Merger Agreement, then Marvell has agreed to promptly notify Inphi in writing and use its reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, arrange and obtain from alternative sources of debt financing that are reasonably acceptable to Marvell in an amount (together with all other sources of cash or other financing sources available to Marvell) sufficient to satisfy HoldCo’s payment obligations under the Merger Agreement, except that: (a) the exercise of such reasonable best efforts will not require Marvell or HoldCo to obtain additional equity or debt with an all-in yield or tenor that is different than the Debt Financing set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters (after giving effect to the maximum amount of any flex provisions contained therein); and (b) none of Marvell, HoldCo, Delaware Merger Sub or Bermuda Merger Sub may enter into any new debt commitment letter without the consent of Inphi if the terms thereof, or if the conditions to funding thereunder, would reasonably be expected to materially impair, delay or prevent the completion of the Mergers or would, when taken as a whole, be materially less favorable to Marvell or HoldCo than those set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters.

Under the Merger Agreement: (a) Marvell has agreed, and has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to cause its representatives, to keep Inphi informed as promptly as practicable upon written request in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing; (b) during the period from the date of the Merger Agreement through the Delaware Merger Effective Time, subject to certain exceptions and confidentiality restrictions, Inphi has agreed to, and will ensure that each of its subsidiaries and its and their respective

Under the Merger Agreement, Marvell has agreed to, promptly upon written request by Inphi, (a) reimburse Inphi for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Inphi in order to comply with its obligations related to the arrangement of the Debt Financing and (b) indemnify and hold harmless Inphi, its subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers and employees from and against any and all losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing or any Alternative Financing or providing assistance in connection therewith, except (i) to the extent suffered or incurred as a result of Inphi’s, any of its subsidiaries’ or any of its or their directors’, officers’ or employees’ bad faith, fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct or (ii) with respect to any material misstatement or omission in any information provided by any of the foregoing persons or entities expressly for use in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing.

The Merger Agreement further provides that Inphi and the Surviving Delaware Corporation will take all actions that may be required in accordance with, and subject to the terms of, each Indenture (and each capped call confirmation entered into by Inphi with respect to each Indenture) as a result of the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the Delaware Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Under the Merger Agreement, unless otherwise requested by Marvell in writing at least two business days prior to the closing date of the Mergers, Inphi has agreed to take (or cause to be taken): (a) all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to terminate, effective no later than the day prior to the date on which the Mergers become effective, any Inphi Employee Plan that contains a cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code (the “Inphi 401(k) Plan”); and (b) any other actions in furtherance of terminating such Inphi 401(k) Plan as Marvell may reasonably request. The Merger Agreement further provides that, in the event of such termination of the Inphi 401(k) Plan, promptly following the closing date of the Mergers, HoldCo and Marvell will cause such Marvell Employee Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code which includes a cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code to accept eligible (i) rollover contributions in cash of amounts distributed to Continuing Employees from the Inphi 401(k) Plan and (ii) in-kind rollovers of Continuing Employees’ loan balances, and will provide for continued repayments of any such loans through payroll deductions commencing not later than with the first payroll period ending not more than 14 days following the date of such rollover.

Indemnification and Insurance

The Merger Agreement provides that all rights to indemnification by Inphi existing in favor of those persons or entities who are now, or have been at any time prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time, directors and officers of Inphi or any of its subsidiaries (the “Inphi Indemnified Persons”) for their acts and omissions as directors and officers occurring prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time, as provided in Inphi’s or the applicable subsidiary’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents (as in effect as of the date of the Merger Agreement) and as provided in those indemnification agreements between Inphi or the applicable subsidiary and such Inphi Indemnified Persons (as in effect as of the date of the Merger Agreement) that were made available to Marvell prior to the date of the Merger Agreement, will survive the Delaware Merger and continue in full force and effect (to the extent such rights to indemnification are available under and consistent with applicable Delaware law) for a period of six years following the date on which the Delaware Merger becomes effective.

The Merger Agreement provides that all rights to indemnification by Marvell existing in favor of those persons or entities who are now, or have been at any time prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, directors and officers of Marvell or any of its subsidiaries (the “Marvell Indemnified Persons” and, together with the Inphi Indemnified Persons, the “Indemnified Persons”) for their acts and omissions as directors and officers occurring prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, as provided in Marvell’s or the applicable subsidiary’s memorandum of association, bye-laws or other organizational documents and as provided in any indemnification agreements between Marvell or the applicable subsidiary and such Marvell Indemnified Persons, will survive the Bermuda Merger and continue in full force and effect (to the extent such rights to indemnification are available under and consistent with applicable law) for a period of six years following the date on which the Bermuda Merger becomes effective.

The Merger Agreement provides that, from the date on which the Bermuda Merger Effective Time occurs until the sixth anniversary of such date, HoldCo, the Surviving Bermuda Company and the Surviving Delaware Corporation will maintain in effect, for the benefit of the Indemnified Persons with respect to their acts and omissions as directors and officers occurring prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time, the existing policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by Marvell and Inphi, respectively, as of the date of the Merger Agreement (and with respect to those policies maintained by Inphi, in the form made available to Marvell prior to the date of the Merger Agreement) (the “Existing D&O Policies”), to the extent that such directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage is available on commercially reasonable terms, except that: (a) each of HoldCo, the Surviving Bermuda Company and the Surviving Delaware Corporation may substitute for the Existing D&O Policies other policies of comparable coverage; and (b) none of HoldCo, the Surviving Bermuda

183

##### Table of Contents

Company or the Surviving Delaware Corporation will be required to pay annual premiums for such Existing D&O Policy (or for any substitute policies) in excess of the Maximum Premium. The Merger Agreement provides that if any future annual premiums for an Existing D&O Policy (or any substitute policy therefor) exceed the Maximum Premium in the aggregate, then HoldCo, the Surviving Bermuda Company or the Surviving Delaware Corporation may reduce the amount of coverage of such Existing D&O Policy (or any substitute policy therefor) to the amount of coverage that can be obtained for a premium equal to the Maximum Premium. The Surviving Bermuda Company and the Surviving Delaware Corporation or, prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time, Inphi may purchase a pre-paid, non-cancellable “tail” policy on any Existing D&O Policy for a claims reporting or discovery period of six years from the closing date of the Mergers and otherwise on terms and conditions that are no less favorable than the terms and conditions of the applicable Existing D&O Policy; provided, however, that none of HoldCo, the Surviving Bermuda Company or the Surviving Delaware Corporation will be obligated to, and Inphi will not (without the prior written consent of Marvell), expend an amount for such “tail” policy in excess of the Maximum Premium. The Merger Agreement provides that, if such “tail” policy is purchased by the Surviving Delaware Corporation or the Surviving Bermuda Company (a “Tail Policy Purchaser”), such Tail Policy Purchaser will, and HoldCo will cause such Tail Policy Purchaser to, maintain such “tail” policy in full force and effect in lieu of all other obligations of such Tail Policy Purchaser under the first sentence of this paragraph.

Effect of Termination

The Merger Agreement provides that, if the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, all further obligations of the parties under the Merger Agreement will terminate and the Merger Agreement will be of no further force or effect except for certain specified sections of the Merger Agreement, including the provisions relating to termination fees.

Enforcement; Remedies

Under the Merger Agreement, each of the parties has acknowledged and agreed that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of the Merger Agreement is not performed by such party in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, the Merger Agreement provides that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any party of any covenant or obligation contained in the Merger Agreement, any non-breaching party will be entitled to obtain, without proof of actual damages (and in addition to any other remedy to which such non-breaching party is entitled at law or in equity): (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation; and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. Under the Merger Agreement, the parties have agreed to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of bond in connection with the specific performance remedy.

Under the terms of, and except as otherwise provided in the Merger Agreement, any and all remedies in the Merger Agreement expressly conferred upon Marvell or Inphi will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred by the Merger Agreement, or conferred by law or equity, and the exercise by Marvell or Inphi of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. Further, nothing in the Merger Agreement will be deemed a waiver by any party thereto of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief.

Amendment

The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to certain exceptions, the Merger Agreement may be amended by Inphi and Marvell at any time; provided, however, that (a) after adoption of the Merger Agreement by Inphi stockholders, no amendment which by law requires further approval of Inphi stockholders may be made without such further approval and (b) after approval of the Marvell Merger Proposal by Marvell shareholders, no amendment which by law or any Nasdaq rule requires further approval of Marvell shareholders may be made without such further approval. The Merger Agreement further provides that certain sections of the Merger Agreement may not be amended or waived in any manner that is adverse in any material respect to any Financing Source or certain parties related to such Financing Source without the prior written consent of such Financing Source.

194

##### Table of Contents

Waiver

The Merger Agreement provides that no failure on the part of any party to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under the Merger Agreement, and no delay on the part of any party in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under the Merger Agreement, will operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy.

In addition, the Merger Agreement provides that no party will be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of the Merger Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under the Merger Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such party; and any such waiver will not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

Third-Party Beneficiaries

The Merger Agreement provides that it is not intended, and shall not be deemed, to confer any rights or remedies upon any person or entity other than the parties to the Merger Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns or to otherwise create any third-party beneficiary thereto, except (a) that the Indemnified Persons are third-party beneficiaries of the specified section of the Merger Agreement relating to their right to indemnification, (b) the Financing Sources and certain parties related to such Financing Sources are third-party beneficiaries of certain specified sections of the Merger Agreement and (c) Inphi has the right to pursue claims for damages (including claims for damages based on loss of the economic benefit of the Delaware Merger to Inphi stockholders) on behalf of its stockholders in the event Marvell, HoldCo, Bermuda Merger Sub or Delaware Merger Sub commits fraud or any knowing and intentional breach of its covenants set forth in the Merger Agreement, which rights are enforceable on behalf of Inphi stockholders only by Inphi, in its sole and absolute discretion through actions approved by the Inphi Board.

Governing Law

The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to certain exceptions, the Merger Agreement, and any action, suit or other legal proceeding arising out of or relating to the Merger Agreement (including the enforcement of any provision of the Merger Agreement), any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the legal relationship of the parties to the Merger Agreement (whether at law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise), is governed by, and is to be construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the choice of laws principles of the State of Delaware, as to all matters, including matters of validity, construction, effect, enforceability, performance and remedies.

MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following is a general discussion of the material United States federal income tax consequences of the Delaware Merger to holders of Inphi Shares and of the Bermuda Merger to holders of Marvell Shares.

This discussion addresses only holders of Inphi Shares or Marvell Shares, as applicable, who hold Inphi Shares or Marvell Shares as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address any non-income taxes or any non-U.S., state or local tax consequences of the Mergers. This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to holders of Inphi Shares or Marvell Shares, as applicable, in light of such holders’ particular circumstances or to holders subject to special rules (including controlled foreign corporations, PFICs, corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax, tax-exempt organizations, governmental organizations, banks or other financial institutions, mutual funds, brokers or dealers in securities, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, persons who hold Inphi Shares or Marvell Shares as part of a hedging or conversion transaction or as part of a short-sale or straddle or other integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, certain U.S. expatriates, persons who own (or are deemed to own) five-percent (5%) or more of the outstanding Inphi Shares or Marvell Shares, persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, accrual-method taxpayers subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code, persons deemed to sell Inphi Shares or Marvell Shares under the constructive sale provisions of the Code, S corporations, partnerships or other entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and investors therein), persons who hold Inphi Shares or Marvell Shares through tax-qualified retirement plans, persons who acquired Inphi Shares or Marvell Shares pursuant to the exercise of warrants or conversion rights under convertible instruments, or persons who acquired Inphi Shares or Marvell Shares pursuant to the exercise of compensatory options or otherwise as compensation). In addition, this discussion does not address any alternative minimum tax nor does it address any tax consequences arising under the Medicare surtax on net investment income. This discussion is based on the Code, applicable Treasury Regulations, administrative interpretations and court decisions, each as in effect as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such change could affect the validity of this discussion.

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of Inphi Shares or Marvell Shares that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

| • |  | an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

| • |  | a corporation (or any other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof or the District of Columbia, or a non-U.S. corporation treated as a U.S. corporation under the anti-inversion rules of Section 7874 of the Code;

| • |  | an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

| • |  | a trust (i) that is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the U.S. and all the substantial decisions of which are controlled by one or more U.S. persons or (ii) that has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

For purposes of this discussion, the term “non-U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of Marvell Shares or Inphi Shares, as applicable, that is neither a U.S. holder nor a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If a partnership (or an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Inphi Shares or Marvell Shares, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership.

Partners of partnerships holding Inphi Shares or Marvell Shares should consult such partners’ own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them.

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OR DISCUSSION OF ALL OF THE POTENTIAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGERS. PLEASE CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU OF THE MERGERS, INCLUDING TAX RETURN REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. INCOME AND OTHER TAX LAWS IN LIGHT OF YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

General

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, (1) the Mergers, taken together, are intended to qualify as a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code, and (2) the Bermuda Merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). However, the completion of the transaction is not conditioned on the transaction qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment or upon the receipt of opinions of counsel to that effect. Marvell has received opinions of counsel, filed as Exhibit 8.1 to the Registration Statement of which this joint proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, that the transactions will qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, and accordingly, that the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers to holders of Marvell Shares and Inphi Shares are as described in this section. In rendering such opinions, counsel relies upon representations contained in letters and certificates to be received from Marvell, Inphi and HoldCo, and such opinions also rely upon customary factual assumptions, as well as certain covenants and undertakings of Marvell, Inphi and HoldCo. If any of such representations, assumptions, covenants or undertakings is or becomes incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate, or is violated, the validity of, and the conclusions reached in, the tax opinions described above may be affected or jeopardized and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers could differ materially from those described below. In addition, the opinions are subject to certain qualifications and limitations as set forth in the opinions.

The tax opinions given in connection with the Mergers will not be binding on the IRS or any court. Neither Marvell nor Inphi has sought or will seek any ruling from the IRS as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers. Consequently, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the conclusions set forth below. In addition, if any of the representations or assumptions upon which such opinions are based is inconsistent with the actual facts, the tax opinions may be affected or jeopardized and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers could differ materially from those described below.

The remainder of this discussion proceeds on the basis that the Mergers, taken together, will qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers to Holders of Marvell Shares

Except as described below under “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers to Holders of Marvell Shares—Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules,” a U.S. holder or non-U.S. holder of Marvell Shares will not recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of such holder’s Marvell Shares solely for HoldCo Shares in the Bermuda Merger, the aggregate tax basis of the HoldCo Shares such U.S. holder or non-U.S. holder of Marvell Shares receives in the Bermuda Merger will be equal to the aggregate tax basis of the Marvell Shares exchanged therefor, and the holding period of the HoldCo Shares received by a U.S. holder or non-U.S. holder in the Bermuda Merger will include such U.S. holder’s or non-U.S. holder’s holding period of the Marvell Shares surrendered in exchange therefor.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

The discussion above assumes that Marvell is not and will not become a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In general, a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC for any taxable year in which either:

| • |  | at least 75% of its gross income (including its proportionate share of the gross income of any other corporation in which it owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more (by value) of such corporation’s

197

##### Table of Contents

| stock) for such taxable year consists of certain types of passive income (e.g., dividends, interest, capital gains, royalties and the excess of gains over losses from sales of commodities); or

| • |  | at least 50% of the value (based on an average of the quarterly values) of its assets (including its proportionate share of the assets of any other corporation in which it owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more (by value) of such corporation’s stock) is attributable to assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income.

Based on the nature of Marvell’s business, the projected composition of its income and the projected composition and estimated fair market values of its assets, Marvell does not believe it was a PFIC for its taxable year ending on December 31, 2019 and does not expect to be a PFIC for its taxable year ending on December 31, 2020 or the succeeding taxable year. However, because PFIC status depends on the composition of a company’s income and assets and the fair market value of its assets, no assurance can be given that Marvell was not previously a PFIC and will not be a PFIC for its taxable year ending on December 31, 2020 or any subsequent taxable year.

If Marvell were a PFIC for any year in which a U.S. holder held Marvell Shares, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could apply to such U.S. holder and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Bermuda Merger to such U.S. holder could be materially and adversely different (including that such U.S. holder may be required to recognize gain and may be subject to special rules in respect of such gain realized as a result of the Merger). Accordingly, U.S. holders should consult such U.S. holders’ tax advisors regarding the possible classification of Marvell as a PFIC and the resulting U.S. federal income tax considerations.

The PFIC rules are very complex and are not described completely herein. U.S. holders are encouraged to consult such U.S. holders’ own tax advisors regarding the PFIC rules.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers to Holders of Inphi Shares

Subject to the discussions below relating to any cash consideration provided by Inphi and in the section titled “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers to Holders of Inphi Shares—Potential Application of Section 304 of the Code” beginning on page 199, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers to U.S. holders of Inphi Shares receiving a combination of HoldCo Shares and cash (excluding cash received in lieu of fractional HoldCo Shares) in the Delaware Merger will be as follows:

| • |  | a U.S. holder will recognize gain, but not loss, in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the excess of the sum of the fair market value of HoldCo Shares and cash received over such U.S. holder’s tax basis in the Inphi Shares surrendered and (2) the amount of such cash received by such U.S. holder;

| • |  | the aggregate tax basis of the HoldCo Shares received in the Delaware Merger will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the Inphi Shares surrendered in exchange therefor, decreased by the amount of cash received, and increased by the amount of gain recognized on the exchange; and

| • |  | the holding period of the HoldCo Shares received in the Delaware Merger will include the holding period of the Inphi Shares surrendered in exchange therefor.

If a U.S. holder acquired different blocks of Inphi Shares at different times or at different prices, any gain or loss must be determined separately with respect to each block of Inphi Shares that is surrendered in the exchange, and such U.S. holder may not offset a loss realized on one block of the shares against gain recognized on another block of the shares. Subject to the discussion below regarding the potential application of Section 304 of the Code, any such gain recognized by such U.S. holder will be treated as capital gain and will be long-term capital gain if such U.S. holder’s holding period for Inphi Shares that are surrendered in the exchange is more than one year as of the Delaware Merger Effective Time. Long-term capital gains of certain non-corporate holders, including individuals, are generally taxed at preferential rates.

198

##### Table of Contents

To the extent, however, that any portion of the cash consideration received by a U.S. holder is considered to be provided by Inphi, such cash should be treated as received in a redemption by Inphi of a portion of such U.S. holder’s Inphi Shares. In such case, subject to possible dividend treatment if such U.S. holder does not satisfy either the “substantially disproportionate” or “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” test described in the section titled “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers to Holders of Inphi Shares—Potential Application of Section 304 of the Code” (determined by reference to the percentage of Inphi Shares held directly, indirectly or constructively by such U.S. holder immediately before and after such redemption, and taking into account all sales and purchases made by such U.S. holder (or by persons whose shares are attributed to such U.S. holder for U.S. federal income tax purposes) in connection with such redemption, including the Delaware Merger), a U.S. holder would recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between such cash and such U.S. holder’s tax basis in the portion of such holder’s Inphi Shares treated as redeemed.

Cash Received in Lieu of Fractional HoldCo Shares

A U.S. holder that receives cash in lieu of a fractional HoldCo Share in the Delaware Merger will generally be treated as having received such fractional share and then as having received such cash in redemption of such fractional share interest. A U.S. holder generally will recognize gain or loss measured by the difference between the amount of cash received and the portion of the basis of the HoldCo Shares allocable to such fractional share interest. Such gain or loss generally will constitute capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period in the Inphi Shares exchanged therefor exceeds one year as of the date of the Delaware Merger.

Potential Application of Section 304 of the Code

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers to U.S. holders of Inphi Shares could be different from those described above if Section 304 of the Code applies to the Delaware Merger. Section 304 of the Code will apply to the Delaware Merger if the Inphi stockholders, in the aggregate, own 50% or more of HoldCo Shares immediately after completion of the Mergers, taking into account certain constructive ownership rules under the Code. It may not be possible to establish with certainty at the time of the Delaware Merger whether the 50% ownership requirement is satisfied because the ownership information necessary to make such determination may not be available.

If Section 304 of the Code were to apply to the Delaware Merger, a U.S. holder of Inphi Shares would be

treated as having (1) exchanged a portion of such U.S. holder’s Inphi Shares equal in value to the HoldCo Shares received in the Delaware Merger in a nontaxable transaction and (2) received the cash received in the Delaware Merger (other than any portion of such cash considered to be provided by Inphi) as a distribution in redemption of HoldCo Shares deemed received by such U.S. holder in exchange for such U.S. holder’s remaining portion of such U.S. holder’s Inphi Shares (other than any Inphi Shares considered as redeemed by Inphi) (the “deemed redemption”). As a result, subject to the discussion below regarding potential dividend treatment, pursuant to the deemed redemption, U.S. holders of Inphi Shares would recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of such cash and such U.S. holder’s tax basis in the portion of such U.S. holder’s Inphi Shares that is treated as being exchanged for such cash. Any such gain or loss recognized by such U.S. holder would be treated as capital gain or loss and would be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if such U.S. holder’s holding period for Inphi Shares treated as exchanged for cash is more than one year as of the Delaware Merger Effective Time. Long-term capital gains of certain non-corporate holders, including individuals, are generally taxed at preferential rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Notwithstanding the above, if Section 304 were to apply, in certain circumstances, the cash consideration received by a U.S. holder of Inphi Shares pursuant to the deemed redemption of HoldCo Shares could be treated as having the effect of a distribution of a dividend under the tests set forth in Section 302 of the Code, in which case such U.S. holder generally would recognize dividend income up to the amount of the cash received. Under

199

##### Table of Contents

those tests, such deemed redemption generally would be treated as having the effect of a distribution of a dividend if the receipt of the cash consideration by a U.S. holder is not “substantially disproportionate” with respect to such holder or is “essentially equivalent to a dividend.” The deemed redemption generally will be not “substantially disproportionate” with respect to a U.S. holder if the percentage of the outstanding HoldCo Shares that the U.S. holder actually and constructively owns immediately after the Delaware Merger is greater than or equal to 80% of the percentage of the outstanding HoldCo Shares that the U.S. holder is deemed actually and constructively to have owned immediately before the deemed redemption. The deemed redemption will be considered to be “essentially equivalent to a dividend” if it does not result in a “meaningful reduction” in the U.S. holder’s deemed percentage of stock ownership of HoldCo applying constructive ownership rules. The IRS has ruled that a minority stockholder in a publicly traded corporation whose relative stock interest is minimal and who exercises no control with respect to corporate affairs is considered to have experienced a “meaningful reduction” if the stockholder has even a small reduction in such stockholder’s percentage of stock ownership under the above analysis. In applying the “substantially disproportionate” and “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” tests to a holder, sales or purchases of HoldCo Shares made by such holder (or by persons whose shares are attributed to such holder) in connection with the Delaware Merger will be taken into account.

Because the possibility of dividend treatment depends upon each holder’s particular circumstances, including the application of constructive ownership rules, U.S. holders of Inphi Shares should consult such U.S. holders’ tax advisors regarding the application of the foregoing rules to such U.S. holders’ particular circumstances, and any actions that may be taken to mitigate the potential application of such rules (such as the desirability of selling such U.S. holders’ Marvell Shares or Inphi Shares, and the considerations relating to the timing of any such sales).

Non-U.S. Holders

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Delaware Merger to non-U.S. holders that receive a combination of HoldCo Shares and cash in exchange for Inphi Shares in the Delaware Merger will be the same as those described above for U.S. holders of Inphi Shares, except that, subject to the discussion below regarding potential dividend treatment, a non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax or withholding tax on any gain realized in connection with the Delaware Merger unless:

| • |  | such gain is effectively connected with such non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the U.S. (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment of such non-U.S. holder in the U.S.); or

| • |  | such non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the U.S. for 183 days or more in the taxable year in which the gain is realized and certain other conditions are met.

Gain described in the first bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates in the same manner as if such non-U.S. holder were a U.S. person. A non-U.S. holder that is a corporation also may be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on its “effectively connected earnings and profits” for the taxable year, subject to certain adjustments.

Gain described in the second bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty), but may be offset by U.S.-source capital losses, if any, of the non-U.S. holder.

As discussed above in the section titled “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers to Holders of Inphi Shares” with respect to any cash consideration provided by Inphi and in the section titled “Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences—Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers to Holders of Inphi Shares—Potential Application of Section 304 of the Code” beginning on page 199, in certain circumstances, the cash

200

##### Table of Contents

consideration received in the Delaware Merger by a non-U.S. holder could be treated as having the effect of a distribution of a dividend under the tests set forth in Section 302 of the Code, in which case such non-U.S. holder would be treated as receiving a dividend up to the amount of the cash received. Any amount so treated generally would be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30% or, subject to the discussion below regarding FATCA, such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty, unless such dividend is effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the U.S. (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment of such non-U.S. holder in the U.S.). Because it may not be certain at the Delaware Merger Effective Time whether Section 304 of the Code applies to the Delaware Merger or what portion, if any, of the cash consideration is treated as provided by Inphi, and because the application of Sections 302 and 304 of the Code will depend on a non-U.S. holder’s particular circumstances, a withholding agent may not be able to determine the amount subject to such withholding with respect to a non-U.S. holder of Inphi Shares. Accordingly, withholding agents may withhold tax at a rate of 30% (or, subject to the discussion below regarding FATCA, such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on the entire amount of the cash consideration payable to such non-U.S. holder in the Delaware Merger, unless (1) the withholding agent has established special procedures allowing non-U.S. holders to certify that such holders are exempt from such withholding tax and (2) such non-U.S. holders are able to certify that such holders meet the requirements of such exemption (e.g., because such non-U.S. holders are not treated as receiving a dividend under the Section 302 tests described above). However, there can be no assurance that such withholding agent will establish such special certification procedures. If a withholding agent withholds excess amounts from the cash consideration so payable to a non-U.S. holder, such non-U.S. holder may obtain a refund of any such excess amounts by timely filing an appropriate claim with the IRS.

Under legislation commonly referred to as FATCA, certain withholding taxes may apply to certain types of payments made to “foreign financial institutions” (as specially defined under these rules) and certain other non-U.S. entities if certification, information reporting and other specified requirements are not met. A 30% withholding tax may apply to “withholdable payments” if they are paid to a foreign financial institution or to a non-financial foreign entity, unless (a) the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations and other specified requirements are satisfied, or (b) the non-financial foreign entity either certifies it does not have any substantial U.S. owners or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial U.S. owner and other specified requirements are satisfied. “Withholdable payment” generally means any payment of interest, dividends, rents, and certain other types of generally passive income if such payment is from sources within the United States. If the payee is a foreign financial institution, it must either (i) enter into an agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain U.S. persons or U.S.-owned foreign entities, annually report certain information about such accounts and withhold 30% on payments to account holders whose actions prevent it from complying with these reporting and other requirements, or (ii) comply with comparable requirements under an applicable inter-governmental agreement between the United States and the foreign financial institution’s home jurisdiction. If a non-U.S. holder does not provide the information necessary to comply with these rules, it is possible that amounts payable in the Delaware Merger that are attributable to withholdable payments, such as amounts treated as dividends, will be subject to the 30% withholding tax notwithstanding that an applicable treaty may provide for a reduced rate.

Non-U.S. holders should consult such non-U.S. holders’ tax advisors regarding the application of the foregoing rules in light of such non-U.S. holders’ particular facts and circumstances, the procedures for claiming treaty benefits or otherwise establishing an exemption from U.S. withholding tax with respect to any portion of the cash consideration payable to them in the Delaware Merger, and the possible desirability of selling such non-U.S. holders’ Inphi Shares or Marvell Shares (and considerations relating to the timing of any such sales).

Backup Withholding

Payments of cash to a U.S. holder of Inphi Shares in the Delaware Merger may, under certain circumstances, be subject to information reporting and backup withholding, unless the holder provides proof of an applicable

201

##### Table of Contents

exemption or furnishes such holder’s taxpayer identification number, and otherwise complies with all applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Certain holders (such as corporations and non-U.S. holders) are exempt from backup withholding.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or credit against a holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. Non-U.S. holders may be required to comply with certification requirements and identification procedures in order to establish an exemption from information reporting and backup withholding.

The tax consequences of the Mergers will depend on a holder’s specific situation. Holders should consult such holders’ own tax advisors with respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers to them in light of such holders’ particular circumstances, as well as the applicability and effect of any U.S. federal, state, local, foreign or other tax laws.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Information regarding transactions with related persons of Marvell is incorporated by reference from information contained in Marvell’s definitive proxy statement for its 2020 annual general meeting in the section titled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions.” The following includes a summary of related party transactions since May 28, 2020, the date of Marvell’s definitive proxy statement for its 2020 annual general meeting.

In October 2020, Marvell hired the step-son of Richard S. Hill as an application engineer. Mr. Hill serves as the chair of the Marvell Board and it is expected that Mr. Hill will serve as the chair of the HoldCo Board after completion of the Bermuda Merger. Mr. Hill’s step-son works for a subsidiary of Marvell and his annual compensation is currently approximately $150,000 including salary, target bonus and initial restricted stock unit grant, which is comparable to other employees in a similar role in the same location hired in 2020.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF INPHI SHARES AND

INPHI MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information as of February 19, 2021 regarding the number of Inphi Shares and the percentage of Inphi Shares, beneficially owned by:

| • |  | each person or group of persons known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of outstanding Inphi Shares;

| • |  | each of Inphi’s named executive officers;

| • |  | each of Inphi’s directors; and

| • |  | all of Inphi’s directors and executive officers as a group.

Unless otherwise noted below, the address of each beneficial owner listed in the table is c/o Inphi Corporation, 110 Rio Robles, San Jose, California 95134. We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all Inphi Shares that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws.

Applicable percentage ownership is based on 53,607,341 Inphi Shares outstanding on February 19, 2021. In computing the number of Inphi Shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we deemed outstanding Inphi Shares subject to Inphi Options held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of February 19, 2021 (April 20, 2021). We did not deem these Inphi Shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

DELAWARE INCORPORATION AND DESCRIPTION OF HOLDCO CAPITAL STOCK

The following description of the material terms of the common stock and preferred stock of HoldCo is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the HoldCo Charter, the HoldCo Bylaws and the DGCL. This description is subject to the detailed provisions of, and is qualified by reference to, the HoldCo Charter and the HoldCo Bylaws, the forms of which are attached as Annexes F and G, respectively, to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and are incorporated herein by reference.

Overview

At the Bermuda Merger Effective Time and the Delaware Merger Effective Time, respectively, Marvell shareholders and Inphi stockholders will become HoldCo stockholders.

The rights of Marvell shareholders are currently governed by the laws of Bermuda, the Marvell Memorandum of Association and the Marvell Bye-Laws. The rights of Inphi stockholders are currently governed by the DGCL, the Inphi Charter and the Inphi Bylaws. Following completion of the Mergers, the rights of Marvell shareholders and Inphi stockholders who become HoldCo stockholders in the Mergers will be governed by the DGCL, the HoldCo Charter and the HoldCo Bylaws.

Delaware Incorporation

The Mergers will effect a change in jurisdiction for Marvell shareholders from Bermuda to Delaware. For many years, Delaware has been a leader in adopting, implementing and interpreting comprehensive and flexible corporate laws that are responsive to the legal and business needs of corporations. The Marvell Board believes that the incorporation of HoldCo in Delaware will provide significant benefits to Marvell shareholders, including, among other things:

| • |  | improved growth opportunities;

| • |  | legal, administrative and other similar efficiencies;

| • |  | reduction in exposure to potential consequences of certain types of punitive or potentially adverse tax legislation that have been proposed from time to time;

| • |  | relocation to a jurisdiction that has a body of law more familiar to Marvell’s officers and members of the Marvell Board, who will continue to serve as officers and directors of HoldCo following completion of the Mergers, as well as to many Marvell shareholders, who will become HoldCo stockholders after the Bermuda Merger Effective Time; and

The total number of shares of capital stock which HoldCo will have authority to issue is 1,258,000,000 shares. This authorized capital stock consists of 1,250,000,000 shares of common stock and 8,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each having a par value of $0.002 per share.

Following completion of the Mergers, we expect that there will be approximately shares of HoldCo common stock outstanding based on the number of Marvell Shares and the number of Inphi Shares outstanding as of February 25, 2021.

Common Stock

The HoldCo Shares to be issued in the Mergers will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Each holder of HoldCo Shares will be entitled to one vote for each HoldCo Share held upon all

209

questions presented to the stockholders. Holders of HoldCo common stock will have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and for all other purposes (subject to the express terms of any preferred stock issued by HoldCo). The HoldCo stockholders will have no preemptive rights and no rights to convert such stockholders’ common stock into any other securities. There will also be no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the HoldCo common stock.

HoldCo stockholders will be entitled to receive dividends as may be declared from time to time by the HoldCo Board out of funds legally available therefor. HoldCo stockholders are entitled to share pro rata, upon any liquidation or dissolution of HoldCo, in all remaining assets available for distribution to stockholders after payment or providing for HoldCo’s liabilities and the liquidation preference of any outstanding HoldCo preferred stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the HoldCo common stockholders are subject to and may be adversely affected by the rights of holders of any series of HoldCo preferred stock that HoldCo may designate and issue after Delaware Merger Effective Time.

Prior to the completion of the Mergers, application will be made to list the HoldCo common stock on Nasdaq under the symbol “MRVL.”

Additional Classes or Series of Preferred Stock

The HoldCo Charter will permit the HoldCo Board, without further action by the holders of HoldCo common stock, to cause HoldCo to issue up to 8,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, and to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, if any, of the shares of each such series. Accordingly, without action by the holders of HoldCo common stock, the HoldCo Board may designate and authorize the issuance of additional classes or series of HoldCo preferred stock having voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption provisions (including sinking fund provisions) and rights in liquidation, dissolution or winding up that are superior to those of HoldCo common stock.

HoldCo Charter and Bylaw Provisions

A number of provisions in the HoldCo Charter and the HoldCo Bylaws may make it more difficult to acquire control of HoldCo or remove its management.

Removal of Directors; Board Vacancies; Board Size

The HoldCo Charter provides for the removal of any of its directors without cause and requires a stockholder vote of at least a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding voting stock. In addition, the HoldCo Charter provides that any vacancy occurring on the HoldCo Board may be filled by a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum. Finally, the authorized number of directors may be changed only by a resolution of the HoldCo Board. This system of removing directors, filling vacancies and fixing the size of the board makes it more difficult for stockholders to replace a majority of the directors.

Advance Notice of Proposals and Nominations

The HoldCo Bylaws provide that stockholders must give timely written notice to bring business before an annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at an annual meeting of stockholders. Generally, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice will be required to be delivered to the principal executive offices of HoldCo not later than the 90th day nor earlier than the 120th day prior to the one-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 30 days after such anniversary date, or if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business

210

##### Table of Contents

on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the date on which public announcement of the special meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the special meeting was made.

For additional detail on these provisions, please see “Comparison of Rights—Notice of Shareholder Proposals and Nomination of Director Candidates by Shareholders” beginning on page 217. These provisions may prevent stockholders from bringing matters before an annual meeting of stockholders or from nominating candidates for election as directors at an annual meeting of stockholders.

Limits on Special Meetings

The HoldCo Charter provides that a special meeting of the stockholders: (1) may be called at any time by the HoldCo Board and (2) shall be called by the chair of the HoldCo Board or the secretary of HoldCo upon the written request or requests of one or more persons that (a) own (as defined in the HoldCo Bylaws) shares representing at least 10% of the voting power of the stock outstanding and entitled to vote on the matter or matters to be brought before the proposed special meeting at the time a request is delivered; and (b) comply with such procedures for calling a special meeting of stockholders as may be set forth in the HoldCo Bylaws.

Amendment of the HoldCo Bylaws

The HoldCo Board will be authorized to adopt, amend and repeal the HoldCo Bylaws. HoldCo stockholders also will have the power to adopt, amend and repeal the HoldCo Bylaws by a stockholder vote of at least a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding voting stock.

Preferred Stock

HoldCo’s ability to issue an indeterminate number of shares of the authorized shares of preferred stock with such rights, privileges and preferences as the HoldCo Board may fix may have the effect of delaying or preventing a takeover or other change of control of HoldCo. Please see “Delaware Incorporation and Description of HoldCo Capital Stock—Additional Classes or Series of Preferred Stock” above.

Shareholder Rights Plan

Consistent with the Marvell Bye-Laws, the HoldCo Bylaws provide that the HoldCo Board is expressly authorized to adopt a shareholder rights plan as a defensive measure at any time it determines to be in the best interest of HoldCo and its shareholders, including in response to any pending or threatened unsolicited offer in respect of a business combination. The HoldCo Bylaws further provide that any shareholder rights plan adopted must either (1) have a term of less than 12 months or (2) be submitted to the stockholders for approval by not more than 12 months following adoption of the plan. In addition, any such shareholder rights plan must not contain provisions that limit the discretion of new directors to amend or redeem the rights under the plan.

Anti-Takeover Statute

HoldCo has not opted out of Section 203 of the DGCL.

Section 203 of the DGCL generally prohibits a publicly traded company from entering into a business combination (including a merger, sale of assets or transfer of stock) with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the person becomes an interested stockholder, unless, among other exceptions, before the time the person became an interested stockholder, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the relevant business combination or the transaction that resulted in such stockholder becoming an interested stockholder. An “interested stockholder” is defined as either (i) the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock or (ii) an affiliate or associate of the corporation who was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock at any time within the three-year period immediately before the date that such person became an interested stockholder.

Exclusive Forum

The HoldCo Charter provides that unless HoldCo, in writing, selects or consents to the selection of an alternative forum: (a) the sole and exclusive forum for any complaint asserting any internal corporate claims (including claims in the right of HoldCo that are based upon a violation of a duty by a current or former director, officer, employee or stockholder in such capacity, or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction upon the Court of Chancery), to the fullest extent permitted by law, and subject to applicable jurisdictional requirements, shall be the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have, or declines to accept, jurisdiction, another state court or a federal court located within the State of Delaware); and (b) the sole and exclusive forum for any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall be the federal district courts of the United States. The exclusive forum provision does not apply to actions arising under the Exchange Act. Since Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, a state court may permit a defendant to pursue an action arising under the Securities Act in state court. While the Delaware Supreme Court has recently upheld provisions of the certificates of incorporation of other Delaware corporations that are similar to the exclusive forum provision in the HoldCo Charter, a court of a state other than the State of Delaware could decide that such provisions are not enforceable under the laws of that state.

COMPARISON OF RIGHTS

The following is a summary of the material differences between the rights of Marvell shareholders, Inphi stockholders and HoldCo stockholders. The rights of Marvell shareholders are currently governed by the laws of Bermuda, the Marvell Memorandum of Association and the Marvell Bye-Laws. The rights of Inphi stockholders are currently governed by the DGCL, the Inphi Charter and the Inphi Bylaws. Following completion of the Mergers, the rights of Marvell shareholders and Inphi stockholders who become HoldCo stockholders in the Mergers will be governed by the DGCL, the HoldCo Charter and the HoldCo Bylaws.

The following summary is not a complete statement of the rights of the shareholders of any of the three companies or a complete description of the specific provisions referred to below. The identification of specific differences is not intended to indicate that other equally significant or more significant differences do not exist. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to Marvell’s, Inphi’s and HoldCo’s constituent documents, which you are urged to read carefully.

Forms of the HoldCo Charter and the HoldCo Bylaws are attached as Annexes F and G, respectively, to this joint proxy statement/prospectus and are incorporated herein by reference.

Duties of Directors and Director Liability |  | The Bermuda Companies Act provides that the business of a company is to be managed and conducted by the board of directors. There is no statutory prescription in Bermuda setting out all of the duties of directors of Bermuda companies.

A director’s fiduciary duty has four main elements: (1) a duty to act in good faith in the best interests of the company; (2) a duty to exercise powers for a proper purpose; (3) a duty to avoid a conflict of interest; and (4) a duty not to make a secret profit from opportunities that arise from the office of director of the company. Under the Bermuda Companies Act, every director in exercising his or her powers and discharging his duties shall: (a) act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company; (b) exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances; and (c) disclose material conflicts of interest to the board of directors of the company at the first opportunity. In addition, the Bermuda Companies Act imposes various duties on directors and officers of a company with respect to certain matters of management and administration of the company. |  | owed directly to stockholders in certain circumstances. Stockholders may have standing to pursue direct claims for breach of fiduciary duty in these circumstances. The DGCL permits the adoption of a provision in the certificate of incorporation limiting or eliminating the monetary liability of a director to a corporation or its stockholders by reason of a director’s breach of the fiduciary duty of care. However, the law does not permit any limitation of liability of a director for: (1) breaching the duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (2) facts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or knowing violations of the law; (3) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit; or (4) paying a dividend or approving a stock repurchase that was illegal under Delaware law.

Interested Directors |  | Under the Bermuda Companies Act and at common law, if a director or officer has an interest in a material contract he shall be deemed not to be acting honestly and in good faith if he or she does not declare at the first opportunity the nature of that interest either at a meeting of directors or in writing to the board of directors. Following a declaration being made pursuant to the Marvell Bye-Laws, and unless disqualified by the chairman of the relevant board meeting, a director may vote in respect of any contract or proposed contract or arrangement in which such director is interested and may be counted in the quorum at such meeting.

While the Delaware Supreme Court has recently upheld provisions of the certificates of incorporation of other Delaware corporations that are similar to the exclusive forum provision in the HoldCo Charter, a court of a state other than the State of Delaware could decide that such provisions are not enforceable under the laws of that state.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On October 29, 2020, Marvell, HoldCo, Bermuda Merger Sub, Delaware Merger Sub and Inphi entered into the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Statutory Merger Agreement, Bermuda Merger Sub will be merged with and into Marvell, with Marvell continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, one minute after the completion of the Bermuda Merger, Delaware Merger Sub will be merged with and into Inphi, with Inphi continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo. Marvell and Inphi expect to complete the Mergers during the second half of 2021.

Upon completion of the Mergers, the right of holders of Inphi convertible notes to convert each $1,000 principal amount of their notes into Inphi Shares will be changed into the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of their notes into the merger consideration that a holder of a number of Inphi Shares equal to the conversion rate immediately prior to the Mergers would have been entitled to receive. In connection with the Mergers, each Inphi Share will be converted into the right to receive 2.323 HoldCo Shares and $66.00 in cash, without interest, plus cash in lieu of any fractional HoldCo Shares. Marvell expects the holders of the convertible notes outstanding after the Mergers to convert the notes shortly thereafter. The carrying value of the two series of Inphi convertible notes issued in 2016 and 2020 has been adjusted to fair value and the probable conversion of the convertible notes has been presented as a separate material transaction. Refer to Note 7 of the “Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for more information on the Inphi convertible notes.

Prior to the Mergers, on December 6, 2019, Marvell completed the Wi-Fi Connectivity Business Divestiture to NXP. The Wi-Fi Connectivity Business Divestiture contained Marvell’s portfolio of connectivity solutions, including Wi-Fi, and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth integrated SOCs and related assets. Refer to Note 10 of the “Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for more information on the Wi-Fi Connectivity Business Divestiture.

Prior to the Mergers, on January 10, 2020, Inphi completed the eSilicon Acquisition. Inphi acquired eSilicon to accelerate their roadmap in developing electro-optics solutions for cloud and telecommunications customers. Refer to Note 11 of the “Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for more information on the eSilicon Acquisition.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included herein presents the combination of the historical consolidated financial statements of Marvell and Inphi, adjusted to give effect to the Mergers and to the Debt Financing (as described in “The Mergers—No Financing Condition; Financing”). At the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, each Marvell Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time (other than Marvell Shares held by Marvell, HoldCo, Bermuda Merger Sub or Inphi or any subsidiary of Marvell or Inphi) will be converted into the right to receive one HoldCo Share. At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each Inphi Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time (other than (i) Inphi Shares held by Inphi, Marvell, HoldCo, Delaware Merger Sub or any other subsidiary of Marvell or Inphi and (ii) Inphi Shares with respect to which appraisal rights are properly exercised and not withdrawn under Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive 2.323 HoldCo Shares and $66.00 in cash, without interest, plus cash in lieu of any fractional HoldCo Shares. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of October 31, 2020 gives effect to the Mergers as if they had been completed on October 31, 2020 and combines the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of Marvell as of October 31, 2020 with Inphi’s audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes have been prepared utilizing period ends that differ by fewer than 93 days, as permitted by Regulation S-X.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended February 1, 2020 and the nine months ended October 31, 2020 give effect to the Mergers as if they had occurred on February 3, 2019, the beginning of the annual period presented.

year ended December 31, 2019 and gives effect to the eSilicon Acquisition and Wi-Fi Connectivity Business Divestiture as if they had occurred on February 3, 2019. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 combines the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of Marvell for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 with Inphi’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2020. Inphi’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 was prepared by removing Inphi’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from Inphi’s results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with:

| • |  | the accompanying notes to the unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information;

| • |  | the separate audited consolidated financial statements of Marvell as of and for the year ended February 1, 2020 and the related notes, included in Marvell’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020, incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus;

| • |  | the separate unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Marvell as of and for the nine months ended October 31, 2020 and the related notes, included in Marvell’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended October 31, 2020, incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus;

| • |  | the separate unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Inphi as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the related notes, included in Inphi’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020, incorporated by reference in this joint proxy statement/prospectus;

| • |  | the separate audited consolidated financial statements of eSilicon as of and for the year ended March 31, 2019 and the related notes, included in Inphi’s Form 8-K/A filed on March 23, 2020, incorporated by reference into this joint proxy statement/prospectus; and

The pro forma financial statements have been presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Mergers been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the pro forma financial statements do not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company.

The pro forma financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, with early application of SEC Final Rule Release No. 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures About Acquired and Disposed Businesses. The Delaware Merger is reflected in the pro forma condensed combined financial statements using the acquisition method of accounting under ASC 805, which requires that one of the two companies in the Mergers be designated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. Based on the evidence available, Marvell has been designated as the acquirer in the Delaware Merger for accounting purposes. The acquisition accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have yet to progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement.

Marvell intends to complete the valuations and other studies upon completion of the Mergers and will finalize the allocation of consideration as soon as practicable, but in no event later than one year following the closing date of the Mergers. The assets and liabilities of Inphi have been measured based on various preliminary estimates using

239

##### Table of Contents

assumptions that Marvell believes are reasonable based on information that is currently available. In addition, the proposed Mergers have not yet received all necessary approvals from governmental authorities. Under the HSR Act and other relevant laws and regulations, there are significant limitations regarding the information Marvell and Inphi can share with each other prior to the completion of the Mergers. Accordingly, the transaction related adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing pro forma financial statements prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting may occur and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying pro forma financial statements and the combined company’s future results of operations and financial position.

Upon completion of the Mergers, HoldCo will perform a detailed review of Inphi’s accounting policies. As a result of that review, HoldCo may identify differences between the accounting policies of Marvell and Inphi that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the combined company. At this time, Marvell is not aware of any significant accounting policy differences. The pro forma financial statements do not reflect any cost or growth synergies that the combined company may achieve as a result of the Mergers, or the costs to combine the operations of Marvell and Inphi, or the costs necessary to achieve these cost or growth synergies.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. | Description of the Mergers

On October 29, 2020, Marvell, HoldCo, Bermuda Merger Sub, Delaware Merger Sub and Inphi entered into the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Statutory Merger Agreement, Bermuda Merger Sub will be merged with and into Marvell, with Marvell continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, one minute after the completion of the Bermuda Merger, Delaware Merger Sub will be merged with and into Inphi, with Inphi continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo. Marvell and Inphi expect to complete the Mergers during the second half of 2021. The merger consideration is estimated to be $10.3 billion and will be funded by the Debt Financing. Refer to Note 5 for additional information on the estimated merger consideration.

At the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, each Marvell Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time (other than Marvell Shares held by Marvell, HoldCo, Bermuda Merger Sub or Inphi or any subsidiary of Marvell or Inphi) will be converted into the right to receive one HoldCo Share. At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each Inphi Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time (other than (i) Inphi Shares held by Inphi, Marvell, HoldCo, Delaware Merger Sub or any other subsidiary of Marvell or Inphi and (ii) Inphi Shares with respect to which appraisal rights are properly exercised and not withdrawn under Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive 2.323 HoldCo Shares and $66.00 in cash, without interest, plus cash in lieu of any fractional HoldCo Shares.

2. | Description of the Debt Financing

In connection with the Mergers, Marvell and HoldCo have obtained financing commitments for (i) a $2.5 billion senior unsecured 364-day Bridge Facility pursuant to the Bridge Commitment Letter, and (ii) a $1.75 billion senior unsecured Term Loan Facility comprised of the $875.0 million 3-Year Term Loan and the $875.0 million 5-Year Term Loan., pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement. The Term Loan Facility commitments under the Facilities Commitment Letter have been replaced by the Term Loan Agreement, pursuant to which the Term Loan Facility is evidenced thereby.

Pursuant to the Bridge Commitment Letter, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, JPMorgan Chase Bank and the other Financing Sources that have become parties to the Bridge Commitment Letter have committed to provide the full amount of the Bridge Facility and pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, JPMorgan Chase Bank and the other lenders party to the Term Loan Agreement, have committed to provide the full amount of the term loans described in the Term Loan Facility. HoldCo will be the borrower under each of the Bridge Facility and the Term Loan Facility on the closing date of the Mergers.

Additionally, Marvell and HoldCo have entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of December 7, 2020, with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, the guarantors party thereto, and the other lenders party thereto, pursuant to which Marvell and HoldCo have obtained commitments for a senior unsecured Revolving Facility in an aggregate committed amount of up to $750.0 million with a five year term. The Revolving Facility replaced Marvell’s existing $500.0 million revolving credit facility.

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information assumes the Mergers will be financed with (i) a $2.5 billion senior unsecured Bridge Facility and (ii) a $1.75 billion senior unsecured Term Loan Facility.

Term Loan Facility

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial information assumes that interest on the Term Loan Facility will be payable quarterly at a rate equal to LIBOR + 1.25% and LIBOR + 1.375% for the 3-Year Term

244

##### Table of Contents

Loan and 5-Year Term Loan, respectively. The 3-Year Term Loan will mature on the date that is three years after the closing date of the Mergers. The 5-Year Term Loan will mature on the date that is five years after the closing date of the Mergers. The 3-Year Term Loan will not be subject to required amortization payments. The 5-Year Term Loan will be subject to required amortization payments, commencing at the end of the first full fiscal quarter of HoldCo occurring after the closing date of the Mergers, in equal quarterly installments of (i) 1.25% of the aggregate principal amount for the first four full quarters following the closing date of the Mergers, (ii) 2.5% of the aggregate principal amount for the fifth through twelfth full quarters following the closing date of the Mergers and (iii) 3.75% of the aggregate principal amount for each quarter thereafter.

Bridge Facility

The unaudited combined pro forma financial information assumes the Bridge Facility will incur interest at a rate equal to LIBOR + 1.375% per annum, with amounts payable quarterly. The Bridge Facility will mature on the date that is 364 days after the closing date of the Mergers. The Bridge Facility does not require any scheduled amortization prior to the final maturity thereof. Voluntary reductions of the unutilized commitments with respect to the Bridge Facility and prepayments of borrowings under the Bridge Facility will be permitted at any time, without premium or penalty. Subject to certain exceptions and thresholds, the Bridge Facility will be required to be prepaid with net cash proceeds of (and the Bridge Facility commitments will be reduced by the net cash proceeds received from) (a) non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions, (b) the issuance of certain equity securities or (c) the incurrence of certain indebtedness (other than the Term Loan Facility), in each case subject to limited exceptions.

Marvell expects to replace some or all of the Bridge Facility prior to the completion of the Mergers with permanent financing. There can be no assurance that the permanent financing will be obtained prior to the completion of the Mergers and the terms of expected permanent financing are uncertain at this time.

3. | Basis of Presentation

The pro forma financial information has been prepared by Marvell in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, with early application of SEC Final Rule Release No. 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures About Acquired and Disposed Businesses. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of what Marvell’s consolidated statements of operations or consolidated balance sheet would have been had the Mergers been completed as of the dates indicated or will be for any future periods. The pro forma financial statements do not purport to project the future financial position or results of operations of Marvell following the completion of the Mergers. The pro forma financial information reflects transaction related adjustments management believes are necessary to present fairly Marvell’s pro forma results of operations and financial position following the closing of the Mergers as of and for the periods indicated. The transaction related adjustments are based on currently available information and assumptions management believes are, under the circumstances and given the information available at this time, reasonable, and reflective of adjustments necessary to report Marvell’s financial condition and results of operations as if the Mergers were completed.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, with Marvell as the accounting acquirer, using the fair value concepts defined in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, and based on the historical consolidated financial statements of Marvell and Inphi. Under ASC 805, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized and measured at their assumed acquisition date fair value, while transaction costs and restructuring costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The excess of merger consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill. IPR&D is recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the assumed merger date until completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Upon completion of development, acquired IPR&D assets are considered amortizable, finite-lived assets.

The allocation of the purchase consideration for the Delaware Merger depends upon certain estimates and assumptions, all of which are preliminary. The allocation of the purchase consideration has been made for the purpose of developing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. A final determination of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed relating to the acquisition could differ materially from the preliminary allocation of purchase consideration. This final valuation will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets of Inphi existing at the closing date of the Delaware Merger. The final valuation may materially change the allocation of purchase consideration, which could materially affect the fair values assigned to the assets and liabilities and could result in a material change to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The transaction related adjustments represent Marvell management’s best estimates and are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that Marvell believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Marvell is not aware of any material transactions between Marvell and Inphi (prior to the announcement of the Mergers) during the periods presented, hence adjustments to eliminate transactions between Marvell and Inphi have not been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Upon completion of the Delaware Merger, Marvell will perform a comprehensive review of Inphi’s accounting policies. As a result of the review, Marvell may identify additional differences between the accounting policies of the two companies, which when conformed, could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Based on a preliminary analysis, Marvell did not identify any differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information assumes there are no differences in accounting policies.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have been realized if the Mergers and Debt Financing had been completed on the dates indicated, nor is it indicative of future operating results or financial position. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements that the combined company may achieve as a result of the Mergers, the costs to integrate the operations of Marvell and Inphi or the costs necessary to achieve these cost savings, operating synergies and revenue enhancements.

4. | Reclassification Adjustments

The accounting policies used in the preparation of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are those set out in Marvell’s financial statements as of and for the year ended February 1, 2020. With the information currently available, Marvell has determined that no significant adjustments are necessary to conform Inphi’s financial statements to the accounting policies used by Marvell in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Certain reclassification adjustments have been made to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to conform Inphi’s historical condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 and condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019 to Marvell’s financial statement presentation.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information may not reflect all reclassifications necessary to conform Inphi’s financial statement presentation to that of Marvell due to limitations on the availability of information as of the date of this joint proxy statement/prospectus. Additional reclassification adjustments may be identified as more information becomes available.

5. | Calculation of Estimated Merger Consideration and Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

Estimated Merger Consideration

The estimated merger consideration for the purpose of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is $10.3 billion. Estimated merger consideration was determined by reference to the fair value on the date the Merger Agreement was executed. The calculation of estimated merger consideration is as follows:

|  | Shares |  |  | Per Share |  |  | Total |
|  | (In thousands, except share and per share amounts) |
Estimated cash paid for outstanding Inphi Shares (1) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 3,538,085 |
Estimated HoldCo Shares issued to Inphi stockholders (2) |  |  | 124,529,853 |  |  | $ | 51.89 |  |  |  | 6,461,854 |
Estimated cash paid for Inphi’s equity awards (3) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 61,235 |
Estimated replacement equity awards for Inphi’s equity awards (4) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 279,248 |
Preliminary estimated merger consideration |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 10,340,422 |

| (1) | The cash component of the estimated merger consideration is computed based on 100% of the outstanding Inphi Shares being exchanged for the Per Share Cash Amount of $66.00.

|  | Shares |  |  | Per Share |  |  | Total |
|  | (In thousands, except per share amounts) |
Inphi Shares outstanding as of February 19, 2021 |  |  | 53,607 |  |  | $ | 66.00 |  |  | $ | 3,538,085 |

| (2) | The stock consideration component of the estimated merger consideration is computed based on 100% of the outstanding Inphi Shares being exchanged for the Inphi Exchange Ratio of 2.323 Marvell Shares.

|  | Shares |  |  | Inphi Exchange Ratio |  |  | Total |
|  | (In thousands, except per share amounts) |
Inphi Shares outstanding as of February 19, 2021 |  |  | 53,607 |  |  |  | 2.323 |  |  |  | 124,530 |
Price per Marvell Share as of February 19, 2021 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 51.89 |
|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 6,461,854 |

| (3) | Estimated cash consideration for the settlement of the cash portion of outstanding Inphi MSUs held by each holder of such Inphi MSUs which will be canceled and paid out on the closing date of the Mergers.

| (4) | Estimated consideration for replacement of Inphi’s outstanding equity awards, including the stock portion of Inphi MSUs. Inphi’s outstanding equity awards will be replaced by Marvell’s equity awards with similar terms. A portion of the fair value of Marvell’s equity awards issued represents consideration transferred, while a portion represents compensation expense based on the vesting terms of the equity awards.

The final estimated merger consideration could significantly differ from the amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information due to movements in the price of Marvell Shares up to the closing date of the Mergers. A sensitivity analysis related to the fluctuation in the Marvell common share price was performed to assess the impact a hypothetical change of 15% on the closing price of Marvell common shares on February 19, 2021 would have on the estimated merger consideration and goodwill as of the closing date of the Mergers.

##### Table of Contents

The following table shows the change in Marvell Share price, estimated merger consideration and goodwill:

|  | Share price |  |  | Estimated Merger Consideration |  |  | Goodwill |

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Inphi are recognized and measured as of the closing date of the Delaware Merger at fair value and added to those of Marvell. The determination of fair value used in the transaction related adjustments presented herein are preliminary and based on management estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and have been prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the Mergers. The final determination of the purchase price allocation, upon the completion of the Delaware Merger, will be based on Inphi’s net assets acquired as of that date and will depend on a number of factors that cannot be predicted with certainty at this time. Therefore, the actual allocations will differ from the transaction related adjustments presented. The allocation is dependent upon certain valuation and other studies that have not yet been completed. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price allocation is subject to further adjustment as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses and final valuations are completed. There can be no assurances that these additional analyses and final valuations will not result in significant changes to the estimates of fair value set forth below.

The following table sets forth a preliminary allocation of the estimated merger consideration to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Inphi based on Inphi’s audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, with the excess recorded to goodwill:

|  | (In thousands) |
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 92,579 |
Accounts receivable, net |  |  | 111,436 |
Inventories |  |  | 289,243 |
Prepaid expenses and other current assets |  |  | 73,526 |
Property and equipment, net |  |  | 142,600 |
Goodwill (1) |  |  | 7,060,419 |
Acquired intangible assets, net |  |  | 4,106,300 |
Other non-current assets |  |  | 60,621 |
|  |  | 11,936,724 |
Accounts payable |  |  | (36,387 | )
Accrued liabilities |  |  | (57,218 | )
Accrued employee compensation |  |  | (35,627 | )
Current convertible debt |  |  | (164,152 | )
Non-current convertible debt |  |  | (817,815 | )
Deferred tax liabilities |  |  | (426,783 | )
Other non-current liabilities |  |  | (58,320 | )
|  |  | (1,596,302 | )
Estimated merger consideration |  | $ | 10,340,422 |

| (1) | Goodwill represents excess of merger consideration over the fair value of the underlying net assets acquired. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill is not

248

##### Table of Contents

| amortized, but instead is reviewed for impairment at least annually, absent any indicators of impairment. Goodwill is attributable to planned growth in new markets and synergies expected to be achieved from the combined operations of Marvell and Inphi. Goodwill recorded in the Mergers is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Intangible Assets

Preliminary identifiable intangible assets in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information consist of the following:

|  | Preliminary Fair Value |  |  | Estimated Useful Life |
|  | (In thousands) |
Developed technology |  | $ | 2,700,000 |  |  |  | 3 to 8 Years |
Customer relationships |  |  | 1,300,000 |  |  |  | 8 Years |
Order backlog |  |  | 66,300 |  |  |  | 1 Years |
Marketing-related assets |  |  | 40,000 |  |  |  | 5 Years |
|  | $ | 4,106,300 |  |  |  |  |

The identifiable intangible assets and related amortization are preliminary and are based on management’s estimates after consideration of similar transactions. As discussed above, the amount that will ultimately be allocated to identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, and the related amount of amortization, may differ materially from this preliminary allocation. In addition, the periods the amortization impacts will ultimately be based upon the periods in which the associated economic benefits or detriments are expected to be derived, or where appropriate, based on the use of a straight-line method. Therefore, the amount of amortization following the Mergers may differ significantly between periods based upon the final value assigned and amortization methodology used for each identifiable intangible asset and liability.

Property and Equipment

The property and equipment valued in the preliminary purchase price allocation discussed above primarily consists of personal property and construction in progress.

Pro forma depreciation expense related to property and equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, which ranges from 3 to 10 years.

7. | Convertible Notes Adjustments

In December 2015, Inphi issued $230 million of 1.125% convertible senior notes due 2020 (the “Convertible Notes 2015”), maturing December 1, 2020. The conversion rate (without giving effect to any adjustment resulting from the Mergers that may be required by the applicable indenture) is 24.8988 Inphi Shares per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes 2015, which represents a conversion price of approximately $40.16 per Inphi Share. The Convertible Notes 2015 matured on December 1, 2020 and Inphi settled the remaining outstanding balance by paying $49.6 million in cash and issuing 851,448 Inphi Shares.

In September 2016, Inphi issued $287.5 million of 0.75% convertible senior notes due 2021 (the “Convertible Notes 2016”), maturing on September 1, 2021. The conversion rate (without giving effect to any adjustment resulting from the Mergers that may be required by the applicable indenture) is 17.7508 Inphi Shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes 2016, which represents a conversion price of approximately $56.34 per Inphi Share. The principal amount for the Convertible Notes 2016 as of December 31, 2020 was $60.5 million.

In April 2020, Inphi issued $506 million of 0.75% convertible senior notes due 2025 (“Convertible Notes 2020” and, together with the Convertible Notes 2015 and Convertible Notes 2016, the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes 2020 will mature on April 15, 2025. The conversion rate is 8.0059 Inphi Shares per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes 2020, which represents a conversion price of approximately $124.91 per Inphi Share. The principal amount for the Convertible Notes 2020 as of December 31, 2020 was $506.0 million.

During the period from January 1, 2021 to February 19, 2021 the Convertible Notes 2016 were partially settled with the issuance of 123,334 Inphi Shares and $10.9 million of cash consideration to holders of the Convertible Notes 2016 and these partial settlements have been reflected as a convertible notes adjustment. As of October 31, 2020 the fair value of the debt component of the Convertible Notes 2016 approximated the carrying value, thus no gain or loss was recorded. The remaining value of consideration transferred to settle the notes was recorded to additional paid-in capital.

Upon completion of the Mergers, holders of the notes will be entitled to convert the notes for cash and stock components of the merger consideration. The carrying value of the Convertible Notes 2016 and Convertible Notes 2020 has been adjusted to fair value. Refer to Note 8 for additional information on the fair value of the Convertible Notes 2016 and Convertible Notes 2020. The pro forma financial information also includes convertible notes adjustments to reflect the probable conversion of the convertible notes. The holders of the Convertible Notes 2016 and Convertible Notes 2020 are expected to convert during the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Period (as defined in the applicable indenture) subsequent to the Delaware Merger Effective Time and as such the conversions are reflected as convertible notes adjustments. The conversions are

251

##### Table of Contents

assumed to be probable as the terms of the indentures provide an economic incentive for holders to convert their notes during the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Period. The following convertible notes adjustments were recorded for the conversion of the Convertible Notes:

(a) | Reflects the cash payment (i) of $214.9 million to settle the Convertible Notes 2016 and Convertible Notes 2020 and (ii) incremental cash of $8.5 million from the elimination of interest expense incurred by Inphi related to the Convertible Notes.

(b) | Reflects the conversion of the Convertible Notes 2016.

(c) | Reflects the conversion of the Convertible Notes 2020.

(d) | Reflects the stock consideration related to the conversion of the Convertible Notes.

(d) | This adjustment reflects the income tax expense/benefit effects of the transaction related adjustments based on applicable statutory tax rates for the jurisdictions associated with the respective transaction related adjustments. Because the tax rates used for these pro forma financial statements are an estimate, the blended rate will likely vary from the actual effective rate in periods subsequent to completion of the Mergers. Further, the combined company’s ability to use net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income for U.S. federal income tax purposes may be subject to limitations. In general, under Section 382 of the Code, a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change net operating losses to offset future taxable income. In general, an ownership change occurs if the aggregate stock ownership of certain stockholders (generally 5% stockholders, applying certain look-through rules) increases by more than 50 percentage points over such stockholder’s lowest percentage ownership during the testing period (generally three years). In addition, some of the standards and requirements under ASC 740 (Accounting for Income Taxes) may limit the combined company’s ability to record deferred tax assets relating to originating temporary differences between book and tax basis of income and expense items. Further, these standards may require a valuation allowance to be established against certain existing deferred tax assets of each company as of the completion of the Mergers and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. In addition, a combination of two companies may also cause the ability for certain valuation allowances associated with one of the companies to no longer be necessary because on a combined basis, there may be new sources of future taxable income to support the reversal of pre-existing valuation allowances. Currently, no adjustment to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been made as it relates to whether limitations the combined company might incur under Section 382 of the Code or ASC 740 nor for a preliminary adjustment to the recognition of the acquired deferred tax assets in the form of a decrease to the pre-existing valuation allowances to conform with the Marvell valuation allowance profiles. Furthermore, adjustments to established deferred tax assets and liabilities as well as the recognition of additional deferred tax assets and liabilities may occur in conjunction with the finalization of the purchase accounting and these items could be material. Finally, tax related adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are based on the current tax law and do not consider or contemplate effects of proposed legislative changes.

11. | Description of the eSilicon Acquisition

On January 10, 2020, Inphi completed the eSilicon Acquisition, pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated November 10, 2019, and amended on January 10, 2020 (the “eSilicon Merger Agreement”), by and among Inphi, Einstein Acquisition Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary Inphi, eSilicon and Fortis Advisors LLC.

Pursuant to the eSilicon Merger Agreement, Einstein Acquisition Sub, Inc. merged with and into eSilicon, with eSilicon surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Inphi. The aggregate consideration for the eSilicon Acquisition was approximately $214.6 million in cash. Inphi funded the eSilicon Acquisition with a combination of cash and proceeds from debt financing. Prior to the eSilicon Acquisition, eSilicon divested its memory business to Synopsys, Inc. and therefore, amounts related to its memory business were eliminated from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

eSilicon’s unaudited consolidated information for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was combined with the unaudited consolidated financial information for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 to conform with Inphi’s financial information for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Under Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, for a shareholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement for the 2021 annual general meeting of shareholders, Marvell must have received the written proposal by such shareholder at the mailing address of its business offices set forth below, no later than January 28, 2021. Such proposals must comply with the other provisions of Rule 14a-8 and additional applicable SEC rules regarding the inclusion of shareholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials.

If a shareholder desires to bring a matter before an annual general meeting and the proposal is submitted outside the process of Rule 14a-8, the shareholder may use the procedures set forth in the Marvell Bye-Laws to make a shareholder proposal, including director nominations, not intended to be included in the proxy statement under Rule 14a-8 so long as such proposal complies with the Marvell Bye-Laws. In accordance with Bye-Law 35 of the Marvell Bye-Laws, shareholder nominations and proposals may be voted on at an annual general meeting of shareholders only if such nominations and proposals are made pursuant to written notice timely given to Marvell’s Secretary and accompanied by certain information. To be timely, a shareholder’s written notice must be received by Marvell not less than 90 nor more than 120 clear days (as such term is defined in the Marvell Bye-Laws) prior to the anniversary of the date for Marvell’s 2020 annual general meeting of shareholders, which anniversary date is July 23, 2021. To comply with the Marvell Bye-Laws, a shareholder must provide appropriate

notice to Marvell no earlier than March 25, 2021 and no later than April 24, 2021. The notice must contain the name and business background of any person being nominated by such shareholder as a director and all material information on any proposal, statement or resolution to be put to the meeting and details of the shareholder submitting the proposal, statement or resolution, as well as other information that may be specified by the Marvell Board and the Marvell Bye-Laws as then in effect. The Marvell Board will review proposals from eligible shareholders which it receives by that date and will determine whether any such proposal has been received in accordance with the Marvell Bye-Laws and whether any such proposal will be acted upon at the annual general meeting of shareholders.

The Marvell Bye-Laws contain a proxy access provision, which allows a shareholder or group of up to 20 shareholders owning in aggregate three percent or more of Marvell’s outstanding shares continuously for at least three years to nominate and include in the company’s proxy materials director nominees constituting up to 20% of the number of directors in office (rounded down) or two nominees, whichever is greater, provided the shareholder(s) and nominee(s) satisfy the requirements in the Marvell Bye-Laws. If a shareholder or group of shareholders wishes to nominate one or more director candidates to be included in Marvell’s proxy statement for the 2021 annual general meeting pursuant to these proxy access provisions in Bye-Law 13 of the Marvell Bye-Laws, Marvell must receive proper written notice of any such nomination no earlier than the close of business on January 28, 2021 and no later than the close of business on February 27, 2021. In each case, the notice must include information specified in the Marvell Bye-Laws, including information concerning the nominee or proposal, as the case may be, and information about the shareholder’s ownership of and agreements related to Marvell Shares.

If, however, the 2021 annual general meeting is not within 30 days before or after the anniversary of the 2020 annual general meeting, Marvell must receive such notice under both its advance notice and proxy access Bye-Laws not more than 120 days prior to such meeting and not less than 90 days prior to such meeting or 10 days following the public announcement of the meeting date.

Marvell will not entertain any proposals or nominations at the annual general meeting that do not meet the requirements set forth in its Bye-Laws. Marvell encourages shareholders to seek advice from knowledgeable counsel before submitting a proposal or a nomination. All shareholder proposals or nominations pursuant to this section may be sent to Marvell’s Assistant Secretary at Victoria Place, 31 Victoria Street, Hamilton HM 10, Bermuda.

In addition, Section 79 of the Bermuda Companies Act provides that (i) any number of shareholders representing not less than 5% of the total voting power of the shares eligible to vote at a general meeting of shareholders, or (ii) not less than 100 shareholders may propose any resolution which may properly be moved at the next annual general meeting of shareholders. Upon timely receipt of notice, Marvell shall, at the expense of such shareholder(s), give its other shareholders entitled to receive notice of the next annual general meeting of shareholders notice of such proposed resolution. To be timely, the proposal requiring notice of a resolution must be deposited at Marvell’s registered office at least six weeks before the next annual general meeting of shareholders. Shareholders satisfying the criteria of Section 79 may also require Marvell to circulate a statement in respect of any matter to come before an annual general meeting of shareholders by notice deposited at Marvell’s registered office in the manner provided by the Bermuda Companies Act.

Inphi

If a stockholder wishes to present a proposal, including proposals for director nominees, to be included in Inphi’s proxy statement for the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, the proponent and the proposal must comply with the proxy proposal submission rules of the SEC. One of the requirements is that the proposal be received by the Inphi Secretary no later than December 22, 2020. Proposals received after that date will not be included in the proxy statement for Inphi’s 2021 annual meeting of stockholders. Inphi urges its stockholders to submit proposals by Certified Mail—Return Receipt Requested.

A stockholder proposal not included in Inphi’s proxy statement for the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders will be ineligible for presentation at the Inphi 2021 annual meeting of stockholders unless the stockholder gives timely notice of the proposal in writing to the Secretary of Inphi at the principal executive offices of Inphi. Under the Inphi Bylaws, in order for a matter to be deemed properly presented by a stockholder, timely notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received by, Inphi not less than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to the next annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that Inphi did not hold an annual meeting in the prior year or if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or after the anniversary date of the prior year’s annual meeting, Inphi must receive the stockholder’s notice by the close of business on the later of 90 days prior to the annual meeting and the 10th day after the day Inphi provided such public disclosure of the meeting date.

The stockholder’s notice with respect to a proposal other than proposals for director nominees must set forth, as to each proposed matter, the following: (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting and reasons for conducting such business at the meeting; (b) the name and address, as they appear on our books, of the stockholder proposing such business; (c) the class, series and number of shares of our securities that are beneficially owned by the stockholder; (d) any material interest of the stockholder in such business; and (e) any other information that is required to be provided by such stockholder pursuant to proxy proposal submission rules of the SEC. The presiding officer of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge any matter not made in compliance with the foregoing procedure.

The stockholder’s notice with respect to proposals for director nominees must set forth, as to each proposed matter, the following: (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director, (i) the name, age, business address and residence address of the person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of the person, (iii) the class, series and number of shares of capital stock of the corporation that are owned beneficially by the person, (iv) any other information relating to the person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations for proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and (v) the nominee’s written consent to serve, if elected, and (b) as to the stockholder giving the notice, (i) the name and record address of the stockholder, (ii) the class, series and number of shares of capital stock of the corporation that are owned beneficially by the stockholder, and (iii) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and each person the stockholder proposes for election or re-election as a director pursuant to which such proposed nomination is being made. The presiding officer of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge any matter not made in compliance with the foregoing procedure.

(b) the directors and officers of the Surviving Delaware Corporation immediately after the Delaware Merger Effective Time will be the respective individuals who are the directors and officers of Delaware Merger Sub immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time, in each case, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, as the case may be; and

(i) any Marvell Common Shares held, directly or indirectly, by any wholly owned Subsidiary of Marvell (other than HoldCo and Bermuda Merger Sub) or by any Inphi Entity immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time will be unaffected by the Bermuda Merger and will remain issued and outstanding as an equal number of common shares of the Surviving Bermuda Company;

(ii) any Marvell Common Shares held by Marvell in Marvell’s treasury or held, directly or indirectly, by HoldCo or Bermuda Merger Sub immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time will be canceled and retired and will cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor;

(iii) except as provided in Sections 1.7(a)(i) and 1.7(a)(ii), and subject to Sections 1.7(d), 1.10, 1.11(g) and 1.13, each Marvell Common Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive one share of HoldCo Common Stock; and

(iv) each common share, $1.00 par value per share, of Bermuda Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time will be converted into one common share of the Surviving Bermuda Company.

B-3

##### Table of Contents

(b) At the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, each share of HoldCo Common Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time will remain outstanding. Immediately after the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, all shares of HoldCo Common Stock owned by the Surviving Bermuda Company shall be surrendered to HoldCo, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Delaware Merger and without any further action on the part of the Company, HoldCo, Delaware Merger Sub or any stockholder of the Company:

(i) any shares of Company Common Stock held, directly or indirectly, by any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company or by any Marvell Entity (other than HoldCo and Delaware Merger Sub) immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time will be unaffected by the Delaware Merger and will remain outstanding as an equal number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Delaware Corporation;

(ii) any shares of Company Common Stock held, directly or indirectly, by the Company (or held in the Company’s treasury) or by HoldCo or Delaware Merger Sub immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time will be canceled and retired and will cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor;

(iii) except as provided in Sections 1.7(c)(i) and 1.7(c)(ii), and subject to Sections 1.7(d), 1.11 and 1.12, each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive: (A) 2.323 (the “Exchange Ratio”) shares of HoldCo Common Stock; and (B) $66.00 in cash, without interest (the “Per Share Cash Amount”); and

(iv) each share of the common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Delaware Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time will be converted into one share of common stock of the Surviving Delaware Corporation.

(d) If, during the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending at the Delaware Merger Effective Time (the “Pre-Closing Period”), the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, or if a stock dividend is declared by the Company during the Pre-Closing Period, or a record date with respect to any such event occurs during the Pre-Closing Period, then the Per Share Cash Amount and the Exchange Ratio will be adjusted to the extent appropriate to provide the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action. If, during the Pre-Closing Period, the issued and outstanding Marvell Common Shares or the outstanding shares of HoldCo Common Stock are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, or if a stock dividend is declared by Marvell or HoldCo during the Pre-Closing Period, or a record date with respect to any such event occurs during the Pre-Closing Period, then the Exchange Ratio (but not the Per Share Cash Amount) and the consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.7(a)(iii) will be adjusted to the extent appropriate to provide the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action.

(e) No fraction of a share of HoldCo Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Delaware Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional share shall be issued. Any holder of Company Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of HoldCo Common Stock (after aggregating all fractions of a share of HoldCo Common Stock issuable to such holder) shall, in lieu of such fraction of a share and, upon surrender of such holder’s Company Stock Certificate(s) or the transfer of Uncertificated Company Shares, be paid in cash the dollar amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, determined by multiplying such fraction by the closing price of a Marvell Common Share on the Marvell Stock Exchange on the date the Delaware Merger becomes effective.

B-4

##### Table of Contents

Effective Time in accordance with Section 1.7(a)(i), all Marvell Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and all holders of certificates representing Marvell Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time (each such certificate, a “Marvell Share Certificate”) or uncertificated Marvell Common Shares represented by book entry positions (each such share, an “Uncertificated Marvell Share”) shall cease to have any rights as shareholders of Marvell, other than the rights, if any, that such holders may have under Section 106(6) of the Bermuda Companies Act; and (ii) the share transfer books of Marvell shall be closed with respect to all Marvell Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time. No further transfer of any such Marvell Common Shares shall be made on such share transfer books after the Bermuda Merger Effective Time. If, after the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, a valid Marvell Share Certificate or Uncertificated Marvell Share is presented to the Exchange Agent or to the Surviving Bermuda Company or HoldCo, such Marvell Share Certificate or Uncertificated Marvell Share shall be canceled and may be exchanged as provided in Section 1.10.

(b) At the Delaware Merger Effective Time: (i) except for Disregarded Company Shares, all shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and all holders of certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time (each such certificate, a “Company Stock Certificate”) or uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock represented by book entry positions (each such share, an “Uncertificated Company Share”) shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company, other than the rights, if any, that such holders may have under Section 262 of the DGCL; and (ii) the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time. No further transfer of any such shares of Company Common Stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Delaware Merger Effective Time. If, after the Delaware Merger Effective Time, a valid Company Stock Certificate or Uncertificated Company Share is presented to the Exchange Agent or to the Surviving Delaware Corporation or HoldCo, such Company Stock Certificate or Uncertificated Company Share shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in Section 1.11.

1.9 Exchange Fund. On or prior to the Closing Date, HoldCo shall, and Marvell shall cause HoldCo to, select a reputable bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as exchange agent in the Mergers (the “Exchange Agent”). Subject to Section 1.12, promptly after the Delaware Merger Effective Time on the Closing Date, HoldCo shall: (a) deposit with the Exchange Agent certificates or book entry positions representing the shares of HoldCo Common Stock issuable pursuant to Sections 1.7(a)(iii) and 1.7(c)(iii); and (b) cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent cash sufficient to make payments of the cash consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.7(c)(iii) (including payments to be made in lieu of fractional shares). The HoldCo Common Stock and cash amounts so deposited with the Exchange Agent, together with any dividends or distributions received by the Exchange Agent with respect to the deposited shares of HoldCo Common Stock are referred to collectively as the “Exchange Fund.” The cash portion of the Exchange Fund will be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by HoldCo; provided, however, that any such investments shall be in short-term obligations of the United States with maturities of no more than 30 days or guaranteed by the United States and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. No investment of the Exchange Fund shall relieve HoldCo or the Exchange Agent from promptly paying the cash consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.11(a), and following any losses from any such investment, HoldCo shall promptly provide additional cash funds to the Exchange Agent in the amount of such losses to the extent the funds in the Exchange Fund are insufficient for such purposes, which additional funds will be deemed to be part of the Exchange Fund.

1.10 Exchange of Marvell Share Certificates. Each Marvell Share Certificate, other than a certificate representing a Disregarded Marvell Share, will, from and after the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, represent an equivalent number of shares of HoldCo Common Stock. At the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, the Exchange Agent will credit in the stock ledger and other appropriate books and records of HoldCo an equivalent number of shares of HoldCo Common Stock for any Uncertificated Marvell Shares represented by book entry positions,

B-5

##### Table of Contents

other than Disregarded Marvell Shares. After the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, if an exchange of Marvell Share Certificates for new certificates representing shares of HoldCo Common Stock is required by applicable Legal Requirements, or is desired at any time by HoldCo, then HoldCo may arrange, in its sole discretion, for such exchange on a one-for-one-share basis.

1.11 Exchange of Company Stock Certificates.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event within three Business Days) after the Delaware Merger Effective Time, the Exchange Agent will mail to the Persons who, as of immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time, were record holders of Company Stock Certificates and Uncertificated Company Shares: (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form (including a provision confirming that delivery of a Company Stock Certificate or transfer of an Uncertificated Company Share will be effected, and risk of loss and title to such Company Stock Certificate or such Uncertificated Company Share will pass, only upon proper delivery of such Company Stock Certificate or transfer of such Uncertificated Company Share to the Exchange Agent); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Company Stock Certificates or transfer of Uncertificated Company Shares in exchange for Delaware Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Company Stock Certificate to the Exchange Agent for exchange (or compliance with the reasonable procedures established by the Exchange Agent for transfer of Uncertificated Company Shares), together with the delivery of a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent or HoldCo, the holder of such Company Stock Certificate or Uncertificated Company Shares will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Delaware Merger Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.7, in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Company Stock Certificate or Uncertificated Company Shares and the Company Stock Certificate or Uncertificated Company Shares so surrendered or transferred will be canceled. Until surrendered or transferred as contemplated by this Section 1.11(a), each Company Stock Certificate and Uncertificated Company Share shall be deemed, from and after the Delaware Merger Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive Delaware Merger Consideration as contemplated by Section 1.7(c).

(b) No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to HoldCo Common Stock with a record date after the Delaware Merger Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Stock Certificate or to the holder of any Uncertificated Company Share that has not been transferred, in each case with respect to the HoldCo Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive in the Delaware Merger, until such holder surrenders such Company Stock Certificate or transfers such Uncertificated Company Share in accordance with this Section 1.11 (at which time such holder shall be entitled, subject to the effect of applicable escheat or similar laws, to receive all such dividends and distributions, without interest).

(c) In the event of a transfer of ownership of any shares of Company Common Stock which are not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment of Delaware Merger Consideration may be made to a Person other than the holder in whose name the Company Stock Certificate formerly representing such shares or Uncertificated Company Shares is registered if: (i) any such Company Stock Certificate is properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer; and (ii) such holder has paid any fiduciary or surety bonds and any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of such Delaware Merger Consideration to a Person other than such holder (or has established to the reasonable satisfaction of HoldCo that such bonds and Taxes have been paid or are not applicable).

(d) If any Company Stock Certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed, HoldCo may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of any Delaware Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Company Stock Certificate, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit and to deliver a bond (in such sum as HoldCo may direct) as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Exchange Agent, HoldCo or the Surviving Delaware Corporation with respect to such Company Stock Certificate. No interest will be paid or will accrue on any cash consideration payable to holders of Company Stock Certificates or in respect of Uncertificated Company Shares pursuant to Section 1.7.

B-6

##### Table of Contents

(e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to former holders of shares of Company Common Stock as of the date that is 365 days after the date on which the Delaware Merger becomes effective will be delivered to HoldCo upon demand, and any former holders of shares of Company Common Stock who have not theretofore surrendered their Company Stock Certificates, or complied with the procedures established by the Exchange Agent for transfer of Uncertificated Company Shares, in accordance with this Section 1.11 may thereafter look only to HoldCo for satisfaction of their claims for Delaware Merger Consideration and any dividends or distributions with respect to the shares of HoldCo Common Stock included in the Delaware Merger Consideration.

(f) If any Company Stock Certificate has not been surrendered, or any Uncertificated Company Share has not been transferred, by the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of the date on which the Delaware Merger becomes effective and (ii) the date immediately prior to the date on which the Delaware Merger Consideration that such Company Stock Certificate or Uncertificated Company Share represents the right to receive would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Body, then such Delaware Merger Consideration will, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, become the property of HoldCo, free and clear of any claim or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. None of HoldCo, the Surviving Bermuda Company, the Surviving Delaware Corporation or the Exchange Agent will be liable to any holder or former holder of Company Common Stock or to any other Person with respect to any Delaware Merger Consideration (or dividends or distributions with respect to shares of HoldCo Common Stock included in the Delaware Merger Consideration) delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar Legal Requirement.

(g) Each of the Exchange Agent, HoldCo, the Surviving Bermuda Company and the Surviving Delaware Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of Company Common Stock or any Marvell Common Share, Company Equity Award or Marvell Equity Award such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld from such consideration under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law or under any other applicable Legal Requirement. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Body, such amounts will be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

1.12 Dissenting Company Stockholders.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, shares of Company Common Stock held by a holder who has made a proper demand for appraisal of such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and who has otherwise complied with all applicable provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (any such shares being referred to as “Dissenting Company Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive Delaware Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.7(c)(iii), but shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the DGCL to a holder of Dissenting Company Shares.

(b) If any Dissenting Company Shares lose their status as such (through failure to perfect or otherwise), then such Dissenting Company Shares will be deemed automatically to have been converted into, as of the Delaware Merger Effective Time, and to represent only, the right to receive Delaware Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.7, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the Company Stock Certificate representing such shares or, if such shares are Uncertificated Company Shares, upon compliance with the procedures established by the Exchange Agent for the transfer of such Uncertificated Company Shares, and HoldCo shall promptly deposit (or cause to be deposited) in the Exchange Fund additional cash in an amount sufficient to pay the cash portion of the Delaware Merger Consideration in respect of such shares of Company Common Stock that are no longer Dissenting Company Shares.

B-7

##### Table of Contents

(c) The Company shall give Marvell: (i) prompt notice of any demand for appraisal received by the Company prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL; and (ii) the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument. The Company shall not voluntarily make any payment or settlement offer prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument unless Marvell has given its prior written consent to such payment or settlement offer.

1.13 Dissenting Marvell Shareholders.

(a) At the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, all Dissenting Marvell Shares will be canceled and, unless otherwise required by applicable Bermuda Legal Requirements, converted into the right to receive the shares of HoldCo Common Stock such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.7(a)(iii), and any holder of Dissenting Marvell Shares shall, if the fair value of a Dissenting Marvell Share as appraised by the Supreme Court of Bermuda under Section 106(6) of the Bermuda Companies Act (the “Appraised Fair Value”) is greater than the fair value of the share of HoldCo Common Stock exchanged therefor, be entitled to receive such difference from the Surviving Bermuda Company by payment made within 30 days after such Appraised Fair Value is finally determined pursuant to such appraisal procedure.

(b) If a holder of Dissenting Marvell Shares who sought to exercise such holder’s right to appraisal fails to properly exercise, or effectively withdraws or otherwise waives, such holder’s right to appraisal (such withdrawal or waiver, an “Appraisal Withdrawal”), then such holder shall have no other rights with respect to such Dissenting Marvell Shares other than as contemplated by Section 1.7(a)(iii).

1.14 Further Action. If, at any time after the Delaware Merger Effective Time, any further action is determined by HoldCo to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Bermuda Company or the Surviving Delaware Corporation with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Marvell, Bermuda Merger Sub, the Company and Delaware Merger Sub, then the officers and directors of HoldCo, the Surviving Bermuda Company and the Surviving Delaware Corporation are fully authorized (in the name of Marvell, in the name of Bermuda Merger Sub, in the name of the Company, in the name of Delaware Merger Sub or otherwise) to take such action.

Section 2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

The Company represents and warrants to Marvell, HoldCo, Delaware Merger Sub and Bermuda Merger Sub as follows (it being understood that the representations and warranties contained in this Section 2 are subject to: (a) the exceptions and disclosures set forth in the Company Disclosure Schedule (subject to Section 9.6); and (b) the disclosures in any Company SEC Report filed with the SEC at least three Business Days before the date of this Agreement (but (i) without giving effect to any amendment thereto filed with the SEC thereafter, (ii) excluding any disclosure contained under the heading “Risk Factors,” any disclosure of risks included in any “forward-looking statements” disclaimer and any other statement or other disclosure that is similarly predictive or forward-looking, and (iii) excluding any Company SEC Reports that are not publicly available on the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”) on the date that is three Business Days before the date of this Agreement)):

Each Inphi Associate is legally authorized to work in all locations where he or she performs services for the Company. Each Inphi Associate has successfully passed all background checks and all other verification reviews expressly required by any Inphi Entity, Inphi Contract or applicable certification or accreditation requirement, or other license, registration or membership requirements which are necessary or required for each Inphi Associate to perform services for the Inphi Entities.

(f) Each Inphi Entity is, and since October 1, 2017 each Inphi Entity has been, in compliance with all Employment Laws in all material respects. Since October 1, 2017, none of the Inphi Entities has effectuated a plant closing, termination, relocation, mass layoff, furlough, separation from position, reduction, or other termination of any current or former employee of any Inphi Entity that has imposed or would impose any obligation or other Liability upon any Inphi Entity under WARN or would otherwise require any Inphi Entity to notify or consult with, prior to or after the Delaware Merger Effective Time, any Governmental Body or other Person with respect to the impact of the Contemplated Transactions.

Since January 1, 2017, each of the Inphi Entities has been in compliance with the requirements of the Immigration Reform Control Act of 1986 in all material respects, and each employee who requires permission and/or authorization to work in the jurisdiction in which they carry out their employment had at the time of hire current and appropriate permission and/or authorization to work in that jurisdiction in all material respects.

No Inphi Entity has entered into any settlement agreement, tolling agreement, non-disparagement agreement, confidentiality agreement or non-disclosure agreement, or any Contract or provision similar to any of the foregoing, relating directly or indirectly to any Sexual Misconduct Allegation against any Inphi Entity or any person who is or was an officer, director or manager of any Inphi Entity.

(h) Part 2.16(h) of the Company Disclosure Schedule contains an accurate and complete list, as of the date of this Agreement, of each material Inphi Employee Plan and each material Inphi Employee Agreement and separately identifies each material Foreign Inphi Plan. Except as required by this Agreement, or to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 4.2(b), none of the Inphi Entities intends, and none of the Inphi Entities has committed, to establish or enter into any new arrangement that would constitute an Inphi Employee Plan or Inphi Employee Agreement, or to materially modify any Inphi Employee Plan or Inphi Employee Agreement (except to conform any such Inphi Employee Plan or Inphi Employee Agreement to the requirements of any applicable Legal Requirements, in each case as previously disclosed to Marvell in writing). The Company has Made Available to Marvell, in each case, to the extent applicable: (i) accurate and complete copies of all documents setting forth the terms of each material Inphi Employee Plan and each material Inphi Employee Agreement, including all amendments thereto; (ii) the most recent summary plan description, together with summaries of the material modifications thereto, if any, required under ERISA with respect to each material Inphi Employee Plan; (iii) the most recently filed annual report (Form 5500 Series and all schedules and financial statements attached thereto), if any, required under ERISA or the Code in connection with each Inphi Employee Plan; (iv) the trust agreement, insurance Contract or other funding instrument, if any, with respect to each material Inphi Employee Plan; (v) all discrimination tests required under the Code for each Inphi Employee Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code for the three most recent plan years; and (vi) the most recent IRS determination or opinion letter issued with respect to each Inphi Employee Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code.

(i) Each Inphi Employee Plan has been established, maintained and operated in all material respects in accordance with its terms and in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including ERISA and the Code. Any Inphi Employee Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and each trust intended to be qualified under Section 501(a) of the Code has obtained a favorable determination letter (or opinion letter, if applicable) as to its qualified status under the Code and, to the Knowledge of the Company, no event has occurred since the date of the most recent determination that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect such qualification. Each Foreign Inphi Plan intended to qualify for special tax treatment satisfies all requirements for such treatment. No “prohibited transaction,” within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code or Sections 406 and 407 of ERISA, and not otherwise exempt under Section 408 of ERISA, has occurred with respect to any Inphi Employee Plan between the Company and such Inphi Employee Plan or, to the Knowledge of the Company, between any other Person and such Inphi Employee

Plan. Each Inphi Employee Plan that does not constitute a contract can be amended, terminated or otherwise discontinued after the Closing in accordance with its terms, without material Liability to HoldCo, the Marvell Entities, the Inphi Entities or any ERISA Affiliates (other than ordinary administration expenses). There is no audit, inquiry or Legal Proceeding pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened or reasonably anticipated by the IRS, DOL or any other Governmental Body with respect to any Inphi Employee Plan. None of the Inphi Entities or any ERISA Affiliate has ever incurred any material penalty or Tax with respect to any Inphi Employee Plan under Section 502(i) of ERISA or Sections 4975 through 4980 of the Code. Each of the Inphi Entities and ERISA Affiliates have timely made all contributions and other payments required by and due under the terms of each Inphi Employee Plan, except as would not result in material Liability and, to the extent not yet due, such contributions and other payments have been adequately accrued in the consolidated financial statements (including any related notes) contained or incorporated by reference in the Company SEC Reports. Each Foreign Inphi Plan that is required to be registered or approved by any Governmental Body under applicable Legal Requirements has been so registered or approved.

(j) None of the Inphi Entities, and none of their respective ERISA Affiliates, has ever maintained, established, sponsored, participated in, or contributed to, or been obligated to contribute to or has any Liability in respect of, any: (i) Inphi Pension Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code; (ii) “multiemployer plan” within the meaning of Section (3)(37) of ERISA; or (iii) plan described in Section 413 of the Code. No Inphi Employee Plan is or has been funded by, associated with or related to a “voluntary employee’s beneficiary association” within the meaning of Section 501(c)(9) of the Code. No Inphi Employee Plan subject to ERISA holds stock issued by the Company or any of its current ERISA Affiliates as a plan asset. The fair market value of the assets of each funded Foreign Inphi Plan, the Liability of each insurer for any Foreign Inphi Plan funded through insurance, or the book reserve established for any Foreign Inphi Plan, together with any accrued contributions, is sufficient to procure or provide in full for the accrued benefit obligations, with respect to all current and former participants in such Foreign Inphi Plan according to the reasonable actuarial assumptions and valuations most recently used to determine employer contributions to and obligations under such Foreign Inphi Plan, and none of the Contemplated Transactions will cause any such assets or insurance obligations to be less than such benefit obligations.

(k) No Inphi Employee Plan or Inphi Employee Agreement provides (except at no cost to the Inphi Entities or any Affiliate of any Inphi Entity), or reflects or represents any Liability of any of the Inphi Entities or any Affiliate of any Inphi Entity to provide, post-termination or retiree life insurance, post-termination or retiree health benefits (except for COBRA reimbursements pursuant to a severance agreement that do not continue for more than 18 months) or other post-termination or retiree employee welfare benefits to any Person for any reason, except as may be required by COBRA or other applicable Legal Requirements.

(l) Except as set forth in Part 2.16(l) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, and except as expressly required or provided by this Agreement, neither the execution of this Agreement nor the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions will (either alone or in combination with another event, whether contingent or otherwise): (i) result in any payment (whether of bonus, change in control, retention, severance pay or otherwise), acceleration, forgiveness of indebtedness, vesting, distribution, increase in benefits or obligation to fund benefits with respect to any Inphi Associate; or (ii) create any limitation or restriction on the right of any Inphi Entity to merge, amend or terminate any Inphi Employee Plan or Inphi Employee Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no amount payable to any Inphi Associate as a result of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of any of the Contemplated Transactions (either alone or in combination with any other event) would be an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G or would be nondeductible under Section 280G of the Code. None of the Inphi Entities has any obligation to compensate any Inphi Associate for any Taxes incurred by such Inphi Associate under Section 4999 of the Code.

(m) Each Inphi Employee Plan, Inphi Employee Agreement or other Contract between any Inphi Entity and any Inphi Associate that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” subject to Section 409A is and has at all times been administered in documentary and operational compliance with the requirements of Section 409A.

If any employee of any Inphi Entity has tested positive for COVID-19, the Inphi Entities have taken all responsive action required under applicable Legal Requirements with respect to such employee, except as would not reasonably be expected to have or result in a material Liability to any Inphi Entity. Since March 1, 2020, no Inphi Entity has: (i) taken any material action adversely affecting the terms or conditions of employment of its current or former employees or other service providers related to the COVID-19 pandemic in any material respect, including implementing workforce reductions, terminations, furloughs, deferral of payment or providing compensation or benefits, or temporary or permanent reductions in compensation, benefits or working schedules or Inphi Employee Plans; or (ii) applied for or received any loan or deferred Tax, or claimed any Tax credit, under any applicable Legal Requirement or any directive issued by, or under any program implemented or sponsored by, any Governmental Body or public health agency in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.

2.17 Environmental Matters.

To the Knowledge of the Company, none of the properties currently or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of the Inphi Entities contains any Hazardous Materials in amounts exceeding the levels allowed by, requiring investigation or remediation under, or otherwise permitted by, applicable Environmental Laws and that would reasonably be expected to result in a material Liability of any Inphi Entity.

2.18 Insurance. The Company has Made Available to Marvell a copy of all material insurance policies and all material self-insurance programs and arrangements relating to the business, assets and operations of the Inphi Entities. Each of such insurance policies is in full force and effect, no written notice of a material default or termination has been received by any Inphi Entity in respect thereof and all premiums due thereon have been paid in full. Since January 1, 2019, none of the Inphi Entities has received any written notice or, to the Knowledge of the Company, other written communication regarding any: (a) cancellation or invalidation of any material insurance policy; (b) refusal of any coverage or rejection of any material claim under any insurance policy; or (c) material adjustment in the amount of the premiums payable with respect to any insurance policy.

3.19 Solvency. Assuming (a) the representations and warranties contained in Section 2 are accurate as of the date of this Agreement and will be accurate as of the Closing Date as if made on and as of the Closing Date (in each case, disregarding all “Material Adverse Effect” and other materiality and similar qualifications limiting the scope of such representations and warranties), (b) the satisfaction of all of the conditions contained in Section 6, (c) that any pro forma financial statements, estimates, projections or forecasts of the Inphi Entities were prepared in good faith and were and continue to be based on reasonable assumptions and (d) immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time, the Inphi Entities are Solvent (substituting references to “HoldCo” in such definition with references to the “Company”), immediately following the Closing, after giving effect to the Contemplated Transactions, HoldCo and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Bermuda Company and the Surviving Delaware Corporation), taken as a whole, will be Solvent. As used herein, “Solvent” means, with respect to HoldCo and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, immediately following the Closing, that: (i) the fair value of the property of HoldCo and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, immediately following the Closing is greater than the total amount of liabilities, including, contingent liabilities, of HoldCo and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, immediately following the Closing; (ii) the present fair salable value of the assets of HoldCo and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, immediately following the Closing is not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of HoldCo and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, on their debts as they become absolute and matured; (iii) immediately following the Closing, HoldCo and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, do not have outstanding debts or liabilities beyond their ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature; and (iv) immediately following the Closing, HoldCo and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are not engaged in a business or a transaction, and are not proposing to engage in a business or a transaction, for which HoldCo’s and its Subsidiaries’ property, taken as a whole, would constitute an unreasonably small amount of capital. The amount of contingent liabilities at any time shall be computed under this Section 3.19 as the amount that, in the light of all the facts and circumstances existing immediately following the Closing, is probable to become an actual or matured liability.

3.20 Fairness Opinion. Marvell’s board of directors has received the written opinion of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (“J.P. Morgan Securities”), financial advisor to Marvell, dated the date of this Agreement, to the effect that, as of such date, and based upon and subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications and other matters considered in the preparation thereof, the Delaware Merger Consideration to be paid to the holders of Company Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement is fair from a financial point of view to Marvell. Marvell has received the consent of J.P. Morgan Securities to include such opinion in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

3.21 Advisors’ Fees. Except for J.P. Morgan Securities, no Person is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s, success, completion or similar fee or commission in connection with the Mergers or any of the other Contemplated Transactions based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of any of the Marvell Entities.

None of the information to be supplied by or on behalf of Marvell or HoldCo specifically for inclusion in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus will, at the time the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus is mailed to the stockholders of the Company or the shareholders of Marvell or at the time of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting or the Marvell Shareholders’ Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. The Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus will comply as to form in all material respects with the provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, except that no representation or warranty is made by Marvell, HoldCo, Delaware Merger Sub or Bermuda Merger Sub with respect to statements made or incorporated by reference therein based on information supplied by any Inphi Entity for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

(e) At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Delaware Merger and without any action on the part of any Person, each Company RSU and each Company PSU that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time and held by a Person who is not a Continuing Employee or a Continuing Service Provider shall be canceled and extinguished for no consideration.

(f) At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Delaware Merger and without any action on the part of any Person, each Company RSU that is outstanding and vested (and with respect to which shares of Company Common Stock have not yet been issued) immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time (including those Company RSUs that become vested immediately prior to or as of the Delaware Merger Effective Time) shall be canceled and extinguished, and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive (subject to any applicable withholding or other Taxes, or other amounts required by applicable Legal Requirements to be withheld, which withholding shall first be applied against the cash portion of the consideration paid in respect of a vested Company RSU): (i) an amount in cash equal to the product of (A) the Per Share Cash Amount, multiplied by (B) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU; and (ii) a number of shares of HoldCo Common Stock equal to the product of (A) the Exchange Ratio, multiplied by (B) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU. Following the Delaware Merger Effective Time, any such canceled Company RSU shall entitle the former holder of such Company RSU only to the payment described in this Section 5.4(f), which shall be made by the Surviving Delaware Corporation within 10 Business Days after the Delaware Merger Effective Time or at such other time or times following the Delaware Merger Effective Time consistent with the terms of the Company RSU to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of additional income Tax under Section 409A of the Code.

(g) At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Delaware Merger and without any action on the part of any Person, each Company MSU that is outstanding (and with respect to which shares of Company Common Stock have not yet been issued) immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished. Each such Company MSU shall be deemed to vest in that percentage of the shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company MSU determined by (i) applying the formula set forth in the award agreement governing the Company MSU, (ii) using the Closing Date as the end of the performance period and (iii) using the Equity Award Cash Consideration Amount as the fair market value of a share of Company Common Stock at the end of the performance period. The resulting number of shares of Company Common Stock shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share and shall be the “Vested Company MSU Shares.” The holder of each such Company MSU shall be entitled to receive (subject to any applicable withholding or other Taxes, or other amounts required by applicable Legal Requirements to be withheld, which withholding shall first be applied against the cash portion of the consideration paid in respect of such Company MSU): (A) an amount in cash equal to the product of (1) the Per Share Cash Amount, multiplied by (2) the number of Vested Company MSU Shares; and (B) a number of shares of HoldCo Common Stock equal to the product of (1) the Exchange Ratio, multiplied by (2) the number of Vested Company MSU Shares. Following the Delaware Merger Effective Time, any such canceled Company MSU shall entitle the former holder of such Company MSU only to the payment described in this Section 5.4(g), which shall be made by the Surviving Delaware Corporation within 10 Business Days after the Delaware Merger Effective Time or at such other time or times following the Delaware Merger Effective Time consistent with the terms of the Company MSU to the extent necessary to avoid the imposition of additional income Tax under Section 409A of the Code. Any portion of the Company MSU that does not constitute Vested Company MSU Shares shall be canceled and extinguished for no consideration.

(h) At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Delaware Merger and without any action on the part of any Person, each Company PSU that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time and is held by a Continuing Employee or Continuing Service Provider shall be

B-56

##### Table of Contents

assumed and converted into that number of HoldCo restricted stock units, rounded down to the nearest whole share, equal to the product of (i) the target number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company PSU, multiplied by (ii) the Conversion Ratio (each such assumed Company PSU, as so adjusted, a “Converted PSU”). Any Converted PSU issued pursuant to this Section 5.4(h): (A) shall vest based on the vesting date or schedule set forth in the award agreement applicable to such Company PSU prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time, subject only to the continued service of the grantee with the Surviving Delaware Corporation, Marvell or any of their Affiliates through the applicable vesting date; (B) shall not be subject to any performance-based vesting terms following the Delaware Merger Effective Time; and (C) shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions (modified as appropriate to reflect the assumption contemplated by this Section 5.4(h)) as were applicable under such Company PSU prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time; provided, however, that all references to the “Company” in each Company Equity Plan and each award agreement shall be deemed to be references to Marvell. Each Converted PSU that vests after the Delaware Merger Effective Time shall be settled in HoldCo Common Stock.

(i) Effective immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each Director Option and each Director RSU that is then outstanding and unvested shall be vested in full.

(j) Prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each of Marvell, HoldCo and the Company shall take all actions necessary (including obtaining any required consents) to effectuate the provisions set forth in this Section 5.4; provided, however, that no such action taken shall be required to be irrevocable until immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time. HoldCo agrees to file, as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than 10 Business Days after the Delaware Merger Effective Time, a registration statement on Form S-8 (if available for use by HoldCo) with respect to the shares of HoldCo Common Stock issuable with respect to Converted Options, Converted PSUs and Converted RSUs, in each case that are eligible to be registered on Form S-8, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as the Converted Options, Converted PSUs and Converted RSUs assumed in accordance with this Agreement remain outstanding. In connection with the filing of a registration statement on Form S-8, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to consent to the incorporation by reference of the audit reports included in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements.

5.5 Treatment of Company ESPP. As soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall take all action that may be necessary to provide that: (a) no new offering period (or similar period during which shares may be purchased) shall commence under the Company ESPP following the date of this Agreement; (b) participants in the Company ESPP as of the date of this Agreement may not increase their payroll deductions under the Company ESPP from those in effect on the date of this Agreement; and (c) no new participants may commence participation in the Company ESPP following the date of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement (but in any event prior to the Closing), the Company shall take such action as may be necessary to: (i) cause any offering period (or similar period during which shares may be purchased) in progress under the Company ESPP as of the date of this Agreement to be the final offering period under the Company ESPP and to be terminated no later than five Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date (the “Final Exercise Date”); (ii) make any pro-rata adjustments that may be necessary to reflect the shortened offering period (or similar period), but otherwise treat such shortened offering period (or similar period) as a fully effective and completed offering period for all purposes under the Company ESPP; (iii) cause each participant’s then-outstanding share purchase right under the Company ESPP (the “Company ESPP Rights”) to be exercised as of the Final Exercise Date; and (iv) terminate the Company ESPP as of the Delaware Merger Effective Time. On the Final Exercise Date, the funds credited as of such date under the Company ESPP within the associated accumulated payroll withholding account for each participant under the Company ESPP shall be used to purchase shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Company ESPP (as amended pursuant to this Section 5.5), and each share purchased thereunder immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time will be canceled at the Delaware Merger Effective Time and converted into the right to receive the Delaware Merger Consideration in accordance with

B-57

##### Table of Contents

Section 1.7(c), subject to withholding of any applicable income and employment withholding Taxes. Any accumulated contributions of each participant under the Company ESPP as of immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time shall, to the extent not used to purchase shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Company ESPP (as amended pursuant to this Section 5.5), be refunded to such participant as promptly as practicable following the Delaware Merger Effective Time (without interest). No further Company ESPP Rights shall be granted or exercised under the Company ESPP after the Final Exercise Date. The Company shall provide timely notice to participants of the setting of the Final Exercise Date and the termination of the Company ESPP in accordance with the terms of the Company ESPP.

5.6 Treatment of Marvell Equity Awards.

(a) At the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Bermuda Merger and without any action on the part of any Person, each Marvell Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into a stock option in respect of shares of HoldCo Common Stock, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Marvell Option immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time (including with respect to vesting), relating to the number of shares of HoldCo Common Stock equal to the total number of Marvell Common Shares subject to such Marvell Option immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time and with an exercise price per share of HoldCo Common Stock equal to the exercise price per Marvell Common Share subject to such Marvell Option immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time.

(b) At the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Bermuda Merger and without any action on the part of any Person, each Marvell RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time will be converted into a restricted stock unit award with the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Marvell RSU immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time (including with respect to vesting and timing of payment), and relating to the number of shares of HoldCo Common Stock equal to the total number of Marvell Common Shares subject to such Marvell RSU immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time.

(c) At the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Bermuda Merger and without any action on the part of any Person, each Marvell PSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time will be converted into a performance-based restricted stock unit with the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Marvell PSU immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time (including with respect to vesting, except that the performance measures shall relate to HoldCo), and relating to the number of shares of HoldCo Common Stock equal to the total number of Marvell Common Shares subject to such Marvell PSU immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time.

(d) At the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Bermuda Merger and without any action on the part of any Person, any rights to purchase Marvell Common Shares under the Marvell ESPP that are outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time will be converted into rights to purchase shares of HoldCo Common Stock on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the Marvell ESPP immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, and relating to the number of shares of HoldCo Common Stock equal to the total number of Marvell Common Shares subject to the Marvell ESPP immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time.

(e) At the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, HoldCo shall assume the Marvell Equity Plans. All references in a Marvell Equity Plan or award agreement thereunder to a number of Marvell Common Shares shall be deemed amended to refer instead to a number of shares of HoldCo Common Stock, and the compensation committee of HoldCo’s board of directors shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of Marvell’s board of directors or any committee thereof with respect to the administration of any Marvell Equity Plan.

(f) Prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, each of Marvell, HoldCo and the Company shall take all actions necessary (including obtaining any required consents) to effectuate the provisions set forth in this

B-58

##### Table of Contents

Section 5.6, except that no such action taken shall be required to be irrevocable until immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time. HoldCo agrees to file, as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than 10 Business Days after the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, a registration statement on Form S-8 (if available for use by HoldCo) with respect to the shares of HoldCo Common Stock issuable with respect to the settlement of converted Marvell Equity Awards, and with respect to offerings made under the Marvell ESPP, in each case that are eligible to be registered on Form S-8, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as the Marvell Equity Awards and the Marvell ESPP assumed in accordance with this Agreement remain outstanding.

5.7 Employee Benefits.

(a) For a period of one year following the Delaware Merger Effective Time (but only as long as the relevant Continuing Employee remains employed by HoldCo or any of its Affiliates), and subject to the applicable Legal Requirements of each jurisdiction, Marvell and HoldCo agree to, or to cause the Surviving Delaware Corporation to, maintain, for each Continuing Employee: (i) base salary that is no less than the base salary provided to such employee immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time; and (ii) benefits that are, in the aggregate, either (at Marvell’s discretion), (A) no less favorable to the Continuing Employee than the benefits provided to the Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time or (B) that are substantially similar to the benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Marvell or the applicable Affiliate of HoldCo (excluding for purposes of this clause “(ii),” any defined benefit plan participation, employee stock purchase plan participation, any equity-based compensation and any change in control, retention or similar one-time special payments or benefits) and reasonably comparable in the aggregate to the benefits provided to the Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time. Continuing Employees shall retain their target bonus opportunity, as in effect on the date of this Agreement, for the remainder of the bonus plan year in which the Delaware Merger Effective Time occurs. The parties acknowledge and agree that Marvell does not have a profit sharing plan that will be in effect after the Delaware Merger Effective Time.

(b) With respect to each benefit plan, program, practice, policy or arrangement maintained by HoldCo or its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Bermuda Company or the Surviving Delaware Corporation) in which any of the Continuing Employees participate following the Delaware Merger Effective Time (each, a “Marvell Employee Plan”), and except to the extent necessary to avoid duplication of benefits, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate and vesting, service with any Inphi Entity (or predecessor employers, to the extent the applicable Inphi Entity provides past service credit under its benefit plans) shall, to the extent permitted by the terms of the applicable Marvell Employee Plan, be treated as service with HoldCo or the applicable Marvell Entity. Each applicable Marvell Employee Plan shall, to the extent permitted by the terms of the applicable Marvell Employee Plan, waive eligibility waiting periods and pre-existing condition limitations to the extent waived or not included under the corresponding Inphi Employee Plan. To the extent permitted under the applicable Marvell Employee Plan, HoldCo and Marvell agree to give or cause to be given to Continuing Employees credit under the applicable Marvell Employee Plan for amounts paid prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time during the calendar year in which the Delaware Merger Effective Time occurs under a corresponding Inphi Employee Plan for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Marvell Employee Plan.

(c) Marvell and HoldCo agree that all Continuing Employees located in the U.S. shall be eligible to continue to participate in the Surviving Delaware Corporation’s health and welfare benefit plans, subject in each case to the terms and conditions of such plans; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.7 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall: (i) be construed to create a right in any Inphi Associate to employment with HoldCo, the Surviving Bermuda Company, the Surviving Delaware Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates; (ii) be deemed to establish, amend, modify or cause to be adopted any Inphi Employee Plan or any other benefit plan,

B-59

##### Table of Contents

program, agreement or arrangement maintained or sponsored by HoldCo, the Surviving Bermuda Company, the Surviving Delaware Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates; or (iii) limit the ability of HoldCo, the Surviving Bermuda Company, the Surviving Delaware Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates from establishing, amending, modifying or terminating any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them, in each case, following the Delaware Merger Effective Time. Except for Indemnified Persons (to the extent of their rights pursuant to Section 5.8), no Inphi Associate shall be deemed to be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 5.7(a) shall limit the effect of Section 9.7.

(d) Unless otherwise requested by Marvell in writing at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall take (or cause to be taken) all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to terminate, effective no later than the day prior to the date on which the Mergers become effective, any Inphi Employee Plan that contains a cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code (a “Company 401(k) Plan”). If the Company is required to terminate any Company 401(k) Plan, then the Company shall provide to Marvell prior to the Closing Date written evidence of the adoption by the Company’s board of directors of resolutions authorizing the termination of such Company 401(k) Plan (the form and substance of which shall be subject to the prior review and approval of Marvell), effective no later than the day prior to the date on which the Mergers become effective. The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such Company 401(k) Plan as Marvell may reasonably request. If the distributions of assets from the trust of any Company 401(k) Plan that is terminated pursuant to this Section 5.7(d) are reasonably anticipated to cause or result in liquidation charges, surrender charges or other fees to be imposed upon the account of any participant or beneficiary of such Company 401(k) Plan or upon the Company or any participating employer, then the Company shall take such actions as are necessary to estimate the amount of such charges or other fees and provide its estimate of that amount in writing to Marvell at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date. In the event of such termination of the Company 401(k) Plan, promptly following the Closing Date, HoldCo and Marvell shall cause such Marvell Employee Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code which includes a cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code to accept eligible (i) rollover contributions in cash of amounts distributed to Continuing Employees from the Company’s 401(k) Plan and (ii) in-kind rollovers of Continuing Employees’ loan balances, and will provide for continued repayments of any such loans through payroll deductions commencing not later than with the first payroll period ending not more than 14 days following the date of such rollover.

(e) To the extent any employee notification or consultation requirements are imposed by applicable Legal Requirements with respect to any of the Contemplated Transactions, the Company shall consult with Marvell and shall ensure that such notification or consultation requirements are complied with prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time. Prior to making any written or broad-based oral communications to any Inphi Associate prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time regarding post-Closing employment matters, including post-Closing employee benefits and compensation or other compensation or benefits matters related to or impacted by any of the Contemplated Transactions (whether alone or in combination with additional events), including the matters described in this Section 5.7, the Company shall provide, and shall ensure that the other Inphi Entities and its and their respective Representatives shall provide, Marvell with a copy of the intended communication for its written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

5.8 Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

(a) All rights to indemnification by the Company existing in favor of those Persons who are now, or have been at any time prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time, directors and officers of any Inphi Entity (the “Company Indemnified Persons”) for their acts and omissions as directors and officers occurring prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time, as provided in the Company’s or the applicable Inphi Entity’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) and as provided in those indemnification agreements between an Inphi Entity and such Company Indemnified Persons (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) Made Available to Marvell, will survive the Delaware Merger and

B-60

##### Table of Contents

continue in full force and effect (to the extent such rights to indemnification are available under and consistent with applicable Delaware law) for a period of six years following the date on which the Delaware Merger becomes effective.

(b) All rights to indemnification by Marvell existing in favor of those Persons who are now, or have been at any time prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, directors and officers of any Marvell Entity (the “Marvell Indemnified Persons” and, together with the Company Indemnified Persons, the “Indemnified Persons”) for their acts and omissions as directors and officers occurring prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, as provided in Marvell’s or the applicable Marvell Entity’s memorandum of association, bye-laws or other organizational documents and as provided in any indemnification agreements between a Marvell Entity and such Marvell Indemnified Persons, will survive the Bermuda Merger and continue in full force and effect (to the extent such rights to indemnification are available under and consistent with applicable law) for a period of six years following the date on which the Bermuda Merger becomes effective.

(c) From the date on which the Bermuda Merger Effective Time occurs until the sixth anniversary of such date, HoldCo, the Surviving Bermuda Company and the Surviving Delaware Corporation shall maintain in effect, for the benefit of the Indemnified Persons with respect to their acts and omissions as directors and officers occurring prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time, the existing policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by Marvell and the Company, respectively, as of the date of this Agreement (and with respect to those policies maintained by the Company, in the form Made Available to Marvell) (the “Existing D&O Policies”), to the extent that such directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage is available on commercially reasonable terms, except that: (i) each of HoldCo, the Surviving Bermuda Company and the Surviving Delaware Corporation may substitute for the Existing D&O Policies other policies of comparable coverage; and (ii) none of HoldCo, the Surviving Bermuda Company or the Surviving Delaware Corporation will be required to pay annual premiums for such Existing D&O Policy (or for any substitute policies) in excess of 300% of the annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement for the Existing D&O Policy (the “Maximum Premium”). If any future annual premiums for an Existing D&O Policy (or any substitute policy therefor) exceed the Maximum Premium in the aggregate, then HoldCo, the Surviving Bermuda Company or the Surviving Delaware Corporation may reduce the amount of coverage of such Existing D&O Policy (or any substitute policy therefor) to the amount of coverage that can be obtained for a premium equal to the Maximum Premium. The Surviving Bermuda Company and the Surviving Delaware Corporation or, prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time, the Company shall have the right to purchase a pre-paid, non-cancellable “tail” policy on any Existing D&O Policy for a claims reporting or discovery period of six years from the Closing Date and otherwise on terms and conditions that are no less favorable than the terms and conditions of the applicable Existing D&O Policy; provided, however, that none of HoldCo, the Surviving Bermuda Company or the Surviving Delaware Corporation shall be obligated to, and the Company shall not (without the prior written consent of Marvell), expend an amount for such “tail” policy in excess of the Maximum Premium. If such “tail” policy is purchased by the Surviving Delaware Corporation or the Surviving Bermuda Company (a “Tail Policy Purchaser”), such Tail Policy Purchaser shall, and HoldCo shall cause such Tail Policy Purchaser to, maintain such “tail” policy in full force and effect in lieu of all other obligations of such Tail Policy Purchaser under the first sentence of this Section 5.8(c).

(d) The provisions of this Section 5.8 are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by: (i) each of the Company Indemnified Persons, who are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.8 from and after the Delaware Merger Effective Time; and (ii) each of the Marvell Indemnified Persons, who are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.8 from and after the Bermuda Merger Effective Time.

5.9 Regulatory Approvals and Related Matters.

(a) Each of Marvell, HoldCo and the Company shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to file, as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, all notices, reports and other documents required to be filed by such party with any Governmental Body with respect to the Mergers and the other Contemplated

(b) Subject to the confidentiality provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, Marvell and the Company each shall promptly supply the other Principal Party with any information which may be required in order to effectuate any filings (including applications) or submissions pursuant to (and to otherwise comply with its obligations or the obligations of its Subsidiaries set forth in) Section 5.9(a).

Neither Marvell nor the Company shall commit to or agree (or permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to commit to or agree) with any Governmental Body to stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period under any applicable antitrust laws without the prior written consent of the other Principal Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d) Each Principal Party shall notify the other Principal Party promptly upon the receipt of: (i) any communication from any official of any Governmental Body in connection with any filing or submission made pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) Knowledge of the commencement or threat of commencement of any Legal Proceeding by or before any Governmental Body with respect to the Delaware Merger, the Bermuda Merger or any of the other Contemplated Transactions (and shall keep the other Principal Party informed as to the status of

any such Legal Proceeding or threat); and (iii) any request by any official of any Governmental Body for any amendment or supplement to any filing or submission made pursuant to this Agreement or any information required to comply with any Legal Requirement applicable to the Delaware Merger, the Bermuda Merger or any of the other Contemplated Transactions. Whenever any event occurs that is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any filing or submission made pursuant to Section 5.9(a), each Principal Party shall (promptly upon learning of the occurrence of such event) inform the other Principal Party of the occurrence of such event and cooperate in filing with or submitting to the applicable Governmental Body such amendment or supplement.

(e) Subject to Section 5.9(f), each of Marvell, HoldCo and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to consummate the Mergers and make effective the other Contemplated Transactions on a timely basis (other than with respect to obtaining Consents under Contracts, for which each of Marvell, HoldCo and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to Section 5.9(f), each party: (i) shall make all filings (if any), give all notices (if any) and provide all information (if any) required to be made, given or provided by such party in connection with the Bermuda Merger, the Delaware Merger or any of the other Contemplated Transactions; (ii) shall consult with such party’s employees to the extent required under any applicable Legal Requirement in connection with the Mergers or any of the other Contemplated Transactions; and (iii) shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain each Consent (if any) required to be obtained (pursuant to any applicable Legal Requirement) by such party in connection with the Delaware Merger, the Bermuda Merger or any of the other Contemplated Transactions. Each Principal Party shall consult with the other Principal Party with respect to all of the matters contemplated by clauses “(i),” “(ii)” and “(iii)” of the preceding sentence, and will keep the other Principal Party apprised of the status of matters relating to the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions. At the request of Marvell, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the divestiture, holding separate or taking of any other action with respect to any of the businesses, product lines or assets of the Inphi Entities (provided that any such action is conditioned upon the consummation of the Mergers).

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.9(e) or elsewhere in this Agreement: (i) no Marvell Entity shall have any obligation under this Agreement to: (A) propose, negotiate, commit to or effect, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, disposition or license (or similar arrangement) of, or limit Marvell’s freedom of action with respect to, any of the businesses, product lines or assets of any Marvell Entity or any Inphi Entity, or otherwise propose, proffer or agree to any other requirement, obligation, condition, limitation or restriction on any of the businesses, product lines or assets of any Marvell Entity or any Inphi Entity, unless the actions referred to in this clause “(A)” (1) are reasonably necessary to satisfy the conditions set forth in Sections 6.8 and 7.8 and (2) would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a significant impact on the strategic or financial benefits of the Mergers to Marvell; (B) amend or modify any of Marvell’s, HoldCo’s, Bermuda Merger Sub’s or Delaware Merger Sub’s rights or obligations under this Agreement; or (C) restructure or commit to restructure any of the Contemplated Transactions; (ii) none of the Inphi Entities shall, except with the prior written consent of Marvell, agree, commit or propose, or encourage any Governmental Body, to take or request any of the actions described in clause “(i)(A)” above; (iii) Marvell shall have no obligation to commence or contest, or cause any other Marvell Entity or any of their respective Affiliates to commence or contest, any Legal Proceeding relating to the Delaware Merger, the Bermuda Merger or any of the other Contemplated Transactions if Marvell reasonably determines in good faith that contesting such Legal Proceeding would not be advisable; (iv) if Marvell reasonably determines in good faith that contesting a Legal Proceeding referred to in clause “(iv)” above would not be advisable, none of the Inphi Entities shall have any obligation to contest such Legal Proceeding; and (v) nothing in Section 5.9(e) or elsewhere in this Agreement shall require Marvell to, directly or indirectly, divest, transfer or otherwise dispose of, hold separate or commit to cause any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to divest, transfer or otherwise dispose of or hold separate all or any portion of (A) the ASIC business of the Marvell Entities, (B) the copper PHY business of the Marvell Entities or (C) any of the businesses, product lines or assets of any Inphi Entity.

5.12 Delisting. Prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, the Company shall cooperate with Marvell and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Legal Requirements (including the Nasdaq Rules) to enable the de-listing by the Surviving Delaware Corporation of the Company Common Stock from Nasdaq and the deregistration of the Company Common Stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Delaware Merger Effective Time.

##### Table of Contents

Principal Party of any Legal Proceeding (including any class action or derivative litigation) that is commenced or threatened against such Principal Party or any of its officers or directors relating to the Mergers or any of the other Contemplated Transactions promptly after becoming aware of such Legal Proceeding. The Company shall give Marvell the opportunity to participate, at Marvell’s expense, in the defense or settlement of any such Legal Proceeding against the Company or any of its officers or directors, and no such settlement shall be agreed to, and no agreement or arrangement with any stockholder shall be entered into by the Company outside the ordinary course of business, without the prior written consent of Marvell, which consent with respect to any such settlement shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

5.16 Takeover Statutes and Rights. If any Takeover Statute is or may become applicable to this Agreement, the Delaware Merger, the Bermuda Merger or any of the other Contemplated Transactions, the Company and the board of directors of the Company shall use their reasonable best efforts to grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such Takeover Statute on this Agreement, the Mergers and the other Contemplated Transactions.

5.17 Tax Matters. The parties intend that (a) the Mergers, taken together, qualify as a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code and (b) the Bermuda Merger qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The parties hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354, 361 and 368 of the Code. Each of Marvell, HoldCo and the Company will (and will cause its Subsidiaries to) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Mergers, taken together, to qualify, and will not take or knowingly fail to take any action (and will cause its Subsidiaries not to take or knowingly fail to take any action) which action or failure to act could reasonably be expected to impede or prevent the Mergers, taken together, from qualifying, as a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code. Each of Marvell, HoldCo and the Company will (and will cause its Subsidiaries to) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Bermuda Merger to qualify, and will not take or knowingly fail to take any action (and will cause its Subsidiaries not to take or knowingly fail to take any action) which action or failure to act could reasonably be expected to impede or prevent the Bermuda Merger from qualifying, as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

5.18 Financing.

(a) Marvell and HoldCo shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to do all things necessary or advisable to arrange, obtain and consummate the Debt Financing on or prior to the date the Closing is required to be effected in accordance with Section 1.3, on the terms and conditions (including, to the extent applicable, the “flex” provisions) described in the Debt Commitment Letters (it being understood that, for purposes of this Section 5.18, references to the Debt Commitment Letters shall be deemed to include any Fee Letter), including using their respective reasonable best efforts to: (i) enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions (as such terms may be modified or adjusted in accordance with the terms, and within the limits, of the “flex” provisions contained in any Fee Letter or as otherwise agreed by Marvell, HoldCo and the Financing Sources, subject to the restrictions on amendments of the Debt Commitment Letters set forth below) contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters (the “Definitive Debt Financing Agreements”); and (ii) satisfy (or obtain the waiver of) on a timely basis all conditions and comply with all obligations applicable to Marvell and HoldCo, including with respect to the payment of any commitment, engagement or placement fees, in the Debt Commitment Letters and the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements to the extent a failure to do so would result in a failure of a condition precedent to the funding of the Debt Financing. If all conditions to the Debt Financing have been satisfied and the conditions set forth in Section 6 have been satisfied or waived, Marvell and HoldCo shall use their reasonable best efforts to take all actions within its control to cause the Financing Sources to fund the Debt Financing at or prior to Closing, including to seek to enforce its rights with respect to funding under the Debt Commitment Letters and the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements in the event of a breach thereof by the Financing Sources party thereto.

B-65

##### Table of Contents

(b) Marvell and HoldCo shall not agree to any amendments or modifications to any condition, or waive any of their respective rights, under the Debt Commitment Letters or the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements without the prior written consent of the Company if any such amendment, modification or waiver of the Debt Commitment Letters or the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements would (x) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing to an amount that, together with HoldCo’s and Marvell’s cash on hand, would be less than an amount reasonably required to consummate the Mergers, (y) impose new or additional conditions or (z) otherwise amend, modify or expand any conditions to the initial funding of the Debt Financing, in each case, in a manner that would reasonably be expected to: (i) materially delay or prevent the Closing from occurring; or (ii) adversely impact the ability of Marvell or HoldCo to (A) enforce their respective rights against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letters or the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements or (B) cause the Mergers to be timely consummated (it being understood that Marvell and HoldCo may amend, restate, modify or supplement each of the Debt Commitment Letters or the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, underwriters, syndication agents or similar entities that have not executed such Debt Commitment Letters as of the date of this Agreement, to provide for the assignment and reallocation of a portion of the debt financing commitments contained in such Debt Commitment Letters or the Definitive Debt Financing Agreements and to grant customary approval rights to such additional arrangers and other Entities in connection with such appointments as expressly set forth in such Debt Commitment Letters, in each case, without the Company’s consent, provided that such amendment would not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the Closing). Marvell and HoldCo shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letters (and any Definitive Debt Financing Agreements) until the earliest to occur of the Closing, the consummation of the Debt Financing and the valid termination of this Agreement.

(c) If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions (including any “flex” provisions) contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letters, and such portion of the Debt Financing is reasonably determined by Marvell to be required to consummate the Mergers and perform its other obligations under this Agreement, then Marvell shall promptly notify the Company in writing and use its reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, arrange and obtain from alternative sources of debt financing that are reasonably acceptable to Marvell in an amount (together with all other sources of cash or other financing sources available to Marvell) sufficient to satisfy the Financing Uses. The exercise of such reasonable best efforts shall not require Marvell or HoldCo to obtain additional equity or debt with an all-in yield or tenor that is different than the debt financing set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters (after giving effect to the maximum amount of any “flex” provisions contained therein). The new debt commitment letter and fee letter entered into in connection with any such alternative financing pursuant to Section 5.18(b) or this Section 5.18(c), are referred to, respectively, as a “New Debt Commitment Letter” and a “New Fee Letter.” None of Marvell, HoldCo, Delaware Merger Sub or Bermuda Merger Sub shall enter into such New Debt Commitment Letter without the consent of the Company if the terms thereof, or if the conditions to funding thereunder, would reasonably be expected to materially impair, delay or prevent the Closing or would, when taken as a whole, be materially less favorable to Marvell or HoldCo than those set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters. If Marvell and/or HoldCo enter into any New Debt Commitment Letter: (i) any reference in this Agreement to the “Debt Financing” shall mean the debt financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters as modified pursuant to clause “(ii)” below; and (ii) any reference in this Agreement to the “Debt Commitment Letters” (and any definition incorporating the term “Debt Commitment Letters,” including the definition of “Definitive Debt Financing Agreements”) shall be deemed to include (A) the Debt Commitment Letters and any Fee Letter to the extent not superseded by a New Debt Commitment Letter or New Fee Letter, as the case may be, at such time, and (B) any New Debt Commitment Letter or New Fee Letter to the extent then in effect.

(d) Marvell shall, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to, keep the Company informed as promptly as practicable upon written request in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Marvell shall: (i) upon the Company’s written request, furnish the Company with executed copies of any amendments to the Debt Commitment Letters (with any fee letter redacted in a customary manner) promptly upon their execution; and (ii) give the Company prompt written notice (A) of any amendment to the Debt Commitment Letters, (B) of any

(e) During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall, and shall ensure that each of the other Inphi Entities and its and their respective Representatives shall, use reasonable best efforts to provide to or at the direction of Marvell and HoldCo all cooperation reasonably requested by Marvell or HoldCo in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing (or any replacement, amended, modified, alternative or substitute financing or refinancing, including an underwritten offering of securities, permitted by this Section 5.18 (each, an “Alternative Financing”)), including using reasonable best efforts to:

If a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

At the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, the Exchange Agent will credit in the stock ledger and other appropriate books and records of HoldCo an equivalent number of shares of HoldCo Common Stock for any Uncertificated Marvell Shares represented by book entry positions, other than Disregarded Marvell Shares.

If a holder of Marvell Shares who sought to exercise such holder’s right to appraisal fails to properly exercise, or effectively withdraws or otherwise waives, such holder’s right to appraisal, then such holder shall have no other rights with respect to such Dissenting Marvell Shares other than as contemplated by Section 7.1(c).

No failure or delay by Marvell or Bermuda Merger Sub in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right hereunder.

8.5 The provisions of this Statutory Merger Agreement shall not be deemed to modify, add to or amend the provisions of the Merger Agreement.

8.6 Neither this Statutory Merger Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties. No assignment by any party shall relieve such party of any of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the immediately preceding two sentences, this Statutory Merger Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

9. | NOTICES

All notices, requests and other communications to any party given under this Statutory Merger Agreement shall be given, and deemed to be duly given, in accordance with Section 9.8 of the Merger Agreement.

ANNEX D

October 28, 2020

Board of Directors

Inphi Corporation

2953 Bunker Hill Lane, Suite 300

Santa Clara, California 95054

Members of the Board:

We understand that Inphi Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Marvell Technology Group Ltd., a Bermuda exempt company (“Marvell”), Maui HoldCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Marvell (“HoldCo”), Maui Acquisition Company Ltd., a Bermuda exempt company and a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo (“Bermuda Merger Sub”) and Indigo Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo (“Delaware Merger Sub”) propose to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Marvell organized HoldCo, and HoldCo organized each of Bermuda Merger Sub and Delaware Merger Sub, for the purpose of effecting the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (ii) Marvell, HoldCo and Bermuda Merger Sub will effect a merger of Bermuda Merger Sub into Marvell (the “Bermuda Merger”), upon the consummation of which Bermuda Merger Sub will cease to exist and Marvell will become a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo and (iii) immediately after the consummation of the Bermuda Merger, the Company, HoldCo and Delaware Merger Sub will effect a merger of Delaware Merger Sub into the Company (together with the Bermuda Merger, the “Mergers”), upon the consummation of which Delaware Merger Sub will cease to exist and the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo. Pursuant to the Mergers, each of Marvell and the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo, and (i) each common share, $0.002 par value per share, of Marvell (the “Marvell Common Share”), other than as specified in the Merger Agreement, will be converted into the right to receive one share of common stock, $0.002 par value per share, of HoldCo (the “HoldCo Common Stock”) and (ii) each share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”), other than as specified in the Merger Agreement, will be converted into the right to receive (1) 2.323 (the “Exchange Ratio”) shares of HoldCo Common Stock and (2) $66.00 in cash, without interest (together with the Exchange Ratio, the “Merger Consideration”). The terms and conditions of the Mergers are more fully set forth in the Merger Agreement.

You have asked for our opinion as to whether the Merger Consideration to be received pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Merger Agreement, by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock (other than Marvell or any affiliate of Marvell, the “Holders”), is fair, from a financial point of view, to such Holders.

For purposes of the opinion set forth herein, we have reviewed a draft, dated as of October 27, 2020, of the Merger Agreement (the “Draft Merger Agreement”), certain related documents and certain publicly available financial statements of the Company and Marvell and other business and financial information of the Company and Marvell. We have also reviewed (i) certain forward-looking information relating to the Company prepared by the management of the Company, including financial projections and operating data of the Company (the “Company Projections”), (ii) certain forward-looking information relating to Marvell prepared by the management of Marvell, including financial projections and operating data of Marvell, and adjusted by the

management of the Company (the “Marvell Projections”) and (iii) information relating to certain strategic, financial and operational benefits anticipated from the Mergers prepared by the managements of the Company and Marvell, and adjusted by the management of the Company (the “Synergies”). Additionally, we discussed the past and current operations and financial condition and the prospects of the Company and Marvell, including information relating to certain strategic, financial and operational benefits anticipated from the Mergers, with senior management of the Company and Marvell, respectively. We also reviewed the historical market prices and trading activity for Company Common Stock and Marvell Common Share, and compared the financial performance of the Company and Marvell and the prices and trading activity of Company Common Stock and Marvell Common Share with that of certain other selected publicly-traded companies and their securities. In addition, we reviewed the financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of selected acquisition transactions and performed such other analyses, reviewed such other information and considered such other factors as we have deemed appropriate.

In arriving at our opinion, we have assumed and relied upon, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of the information that was publicly available or supplied or otherwise made available to, or discussed with, us by the Company and Marvell, respectively. With respect to the Company Projections, we have been advised by the management of the Company, and have assumed, that they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company of the future financial performance of the Company and other matters covered thereby. With respect to the Marvell Projections, we have been advised by the management of the Company, and have assumed, that they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of Marvell, as adjusted by the management of the Company, of the future financial performance of Marvell and other matters covered thereby. With respect to the Synergies, we have been advised by the management of the Company, and have assumed, that they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the reasonable estimates and judgments of the managements of the Company and Marvell, and adjusted by the management of the Company, relating to the strategic, financial and operational benefits anticipated from the Mergers and other matters covered thereby. With respect to the Company Projections, Marvell Projections and Synergies, the Company’s Board of Directors has instructed us to use and rely upon such forecasts for purposes of this opinion. We have assumed that the Mergers will be consummated in accordance with the terms set forth in the Draft Merger Agreement, without any modification, waiver or delay and that the Mergers will have the tax consequences as set forth in the Merger Agreement and as described in discussions with representatives of the Company. We have also assumed that the final executed Merger Agreement will not differ in any material respect from the Draft Merger Agreement reviewed by us. In addition, we have assumed that in connection with the receipt of all the necessary approvals of the proposed Mergers, no delays, limitations, conditions or restrictions will be imposed that could have an adverse effect on the Company, Marvell, HoldCo or the contemplated benefits expected to be derived in the proposed Mergers. We have not made any independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of the Company, Marvell or HoldCo or their respective affiliates, nor have we been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal. In addition, we have relied, without independent verification, upon the assessment of the management of the Company as to (i) the existing and future technology and products of the Company, Marvell and HoldCo and the risks associated with such technology and products, (ii) the ability to integrate the businesses of the Company and Marvell and (iii) the ability to retain key employees of the Company and Marvell.

We have acted as financial advisor to the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with the Mergers and will receive a fee for our services, a portion of which will become payable upon rendering of this opinion. We will also receive an additional, larger fee if the Mergers are consummated. In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse our expenses and indemnify us for certain liabilities arising out of our engagement. During the two-year period prior to the date hereof, no material relationship existed between Qatalyst Partners or any of its affiliates and the Company or Marvell pursuant to which compensation was received by Qatalyst

In the ordinary course of these activities, affiliates of Qatalyst Partners may at any time hold long or short positions, and may trade or otherwise effect transactions in debt or equity securities or loans of the Company, Marvell, HoldCo or certain of their respective affiliates.

This opinion has been approved by our opinion committee in accordance with our customary practice. This opinion is for the information of the Board of Directors of the Company and may not be used for any other purpose without our prior written consent. This opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how to vote with respect to the Mergers or any other matter and does not in any manner address what the value of HoldCo Common Stock actually will be when issued pursuant to the Mergers or the price at which Company Common Stock, Marvell Common Share or HoldCo Common Stock will trade or otherwise be transferable at any time.

Members of the Board of Directors:

You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Marvell Technology Group Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (the “Company”), of the Indigo Merger Consideration (as defined below) to be paid by Maui HoldCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HoldCo”), in the proposed merger (the “Delaware Merger”) of Indigo Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo (“Delaware Merger Sub”), with and into Indigo Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Merger Partner”). The Delaware Merger is part of a series of related transactions (collectively, the “Transaction”) to be effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated as of October 27, 2020 (the “Agreement”) by and among the Company, HoldCo, Maui Acquisition Company Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo (“Bermuda Merger Sub”), Delaware Merger Sub and the Merger Partner. Pursuant to the Agreement, the key aspects of the Transaction are as follows:

(i) Bermuda Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Bermuda Merger”), and, in this merger, each outstanding share of common stock of the Company, par value $0.002 per share (“Company Common Stock”), other than shares of Company Common Stock held in treasury or owned by the Company or Bermuda Merger Sub or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, will be converted into the right to receive one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of HoldCo (“HoldCo Common Stock”) (such consideration, the “Company Merger Consideration”); and

(ii) Immediately following the Bermuda Merger, the Delaware Merger will occur, and, in this merger, each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Merger Partner (“Merger Partner Common Stock”), other than shares of Merger Partner Common Stock held in treasury or owned by the Merger Partner or Delaware Merger Sub or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, will be converted into the right to receive 2.323 shares of HoldCo Common Stock and $66 in cash, without interest (the “Indigo Merger Consideration”).

In connection with preparing our opinion, we have (i) reviewed a draft dated October 27, 2020 of the Agreement; (ii) reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information concerning the Merger Partner and the Company and the industries in which they operate; (iii) compared the financial and operating performance of the Merger Partner and the Company with publicly available information concerning certain other companies we deemed relevant and reviewed the current and historical market prices of the Merger Partner Common Stock and the Company Common Stock and certain publicly traded securities of such other companies; (iv) reviewed certain internal financial analyses and forecasts prepared by or at the direction of the managements of the Merger Partner and the Company relating to their respective businesses, as well as the estimated amount and timing of the cost savings and related expenses and synergies expected to result from the Transaction (the “Synergies”); and (v) performed such other financial studies and analyses and considered such other information as we deemed appropriate for the purposes of this opinion.

In addition, we have held discussions with certain members of the management of the Merger Partner and the Company with respect to certain aspects of the Transaction, and the past and current business operations of the Merger Partner and the Company, the financial condition and future prospects and operations of the Merger

Partner and the Company, the effects of the Transaction on the financial condition and future prospects of the Company, and certain other matters we believed necessary or appropriate to our inquiry.

In giving our opinion, we have relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all information that was publicly available or was furnished to or discussed with us by the Merger Partner and the Company or otherwise reviewed by or for us. We have not independently verified any such information or its accuracy or completeness and, pursuant to our engagement letter with the Company, we did not assume any obligation to undertake any such independent verification. We have not conducted or been provided with any valuation or appraisal of any assets or liabilities, nor have we evaluated the solvency of the Merger Partner or the Company under any state, federal or foreign laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. In relying on financial analyses and forecasts provided to us or derived therefrom, including the Synergies, we have assumed that they have been reasonably prepared based on assumptions reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments by management of the Merger Partner and the Company as to the expected future results of operations and financial condition of the Merger Partner and the Company to which such analyses or forecasts relate. We express no view as to such analyses or forecasts (including the Synergies) or the assumptions on which they were based. We have also assumed that the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by the Agreement will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for United States federal income tax purposes and will be consummated as described in the Agreement, and that the definitive Agreement will not differ in any material respects from the draft thereof furnished to us. We have also assumed that the representations and warranties made by the Merger Partner and the Company in the Agreement and the related agreements are and will be true and correct in all respects material to our analysis. We are not legal, regulatory or tax experts and have relied on the assessments made by advisors to the Company with respect to such issues. We have further assumed that all material governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Transaction will be obtained without any adverse effect on the Merger Partner, the Company or HoldCo or on the contemplated benefits of the Transaction.

Our opinion is necessarily based on economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. It should be understood that subsequent developments may affect this opinion and that we do not have any obligation to update, revise, or reaffirm this opinion. Our opinion is limited to the fairness to the Company, from a financial point of view, of the Indigo Merger Consideration to be paid by the Company in the Delaware Merger and we express no opinion as to the fairness of the Indigo Merger Consideration to the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of the Company or as to the underlying decision by the Company to engage in the Transaction. Furthermore, we express no opinion with respect to the amount or nature of any compensation to any officers, directors, or employees of any party to the Transaction, or any class of such persons relative to the Indigo Consideration to be paid by the Company in the Delaware Merger or with respect to the fairness of any such compensation. We are expressing no opinion herein as to the price at which the HoldCo Common Stock, the Company Common Stock or the Merger Partner Common Stock will trade at any future time.

We have acted as financial advisor to the Company with respect to the proposed Transaction and will receive a fee from the Company for our services, a substantial portion of which will become payable only if the proposed Transaction is consummated. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities arising out of our engagement. During the two years preceding the date of this letter, we and our affiliates have had commercial or investment banking relationships with each of the Company and the Merger Partner for which we and such affiliates have received customary compensation. Such services during such period have included providing financial advisory services to the Company in connection with other ongoing potential transactions unrelated to the Transaction and acting as joint lead bookrunner of the Merger Partner’s convertible debt offering in April 2020 and entering into a related call spread derivative transaction with the Merger Partner in connection with such offering. We anticipate that we and our affiliates will arrange and/or provide financing to the Company in connection with the Transaction for customary compensation. In addition, we and our affiliates hold, on a proprietary basis, less than 1% of the outstanding common stock of each of the Company and the Merger Partner. In the ordinary course of our businesses, we and our affiliates may actively trade the debt and equity securities or

##### Table of Contents

financial instruments (including derivatives, bank loans or other obligations) of HoldCo, the Company or the Merger Partner for our own account or for the accounts of customers and, accordingly, we may at any time hold long or short positions in such securities or other financial instruments.

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion as of the date hereof that the Indigo Merger Consideration to be paid by HoldCo in the Delaware Merger is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company.

The issuance of this opinion has been approved by a fairness opinion committee of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC. This letter is provided to the Board of Directors of the Company (in its capacity as such) in connection with and for the purposes of its evaluation of the Transaction. This opinion does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder of the Company as to how such shareholder should vote with respect to the Transaction or any other matter. This opinion may not be disclosed, referred to, or communicated (in whole or in part) to any third party for any purpose whatsoever except with our prior written approval. This opinion may be reproduced in full in any proxy or information statement mailed to shareholders of the Company but may not otherwise be disclosed publicly in any manner without our prior written approval.

Very truly yours,

ARTICLE II

MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

Section 2.1 Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of stockholders, for the election of directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting, shall be held at such place, if any, either within or without the State of Delaware, on such date, and at such time as the Board of Directors shall fix. The Board of Directors may postpone, reschedule or cancel any annual meeting of stockholders previously scheduled by the Board of Directors.

Section 2.2 Special Meeting.

(a) Except as otherwise required by law, and except as otherwise provided for or fixed pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, including any certificate of designations relating to any series of Preferred Stock (each hereinafter referred to as a “Preferred Stock Designation”), a special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation: (i) may be called at any time by the Board of Directors; and (ii) shall be called by the Board Chair or the Secretary of the Corporation upon the written request or requests of one or more persons that: (A) own (as defined below) shares representing at least 10% of the voting power of the stock entitled to vote on the matter or matters to be brought before the proposed special meeting (hereinafter, the “requisite percent”) at the time a request is delivered; and (B) comply with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.2 with respect to any matter that is a proper subject for the meeting pursuant to Section 2.2(f) (a meeting called in accordance with clause (ii) above, a “stockholder-requested special meeting”). Except as otherwise required by law, and except as otherwise provided for or fixed pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation), special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may not be called by any other person or persons. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting. For purposes of satisfying the requisite percent under this Section 2.2:

(i) A person is deemed to “own” only those outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation as to which such person possesses both: (A) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares; and (B) the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for profit and risk of loss on) the shares, except that the number of shares calculated in accordance with the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) shall not include any shares: (1) sold by such person in any transaction that has not been settled or closed; (2) borrowed by the person for any purposes or purchased by the person pursuant to an agreement to resell; or (3) subject to any option, warrant,

G-1

##### Table of Contents

forward contract, swap, contract of sale, or other derivative or similar agreement entered into by the person, whether the instrument or agreement is to be settled with shares or with cash based on the notional amount or value of outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation, if the instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, or if exercised would have, the purpose or effect of: (x) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, the person’s full right to vote or direct the voting of the shares; and/or (y) hedging, offsetting or altering to any degree any gain or loss arising from the full economic ownership of the shares by the person. For purposes of the foregoing clauses (1)-(3), the term “person” includes its affiliates; and

(ii) A person “owns” shares held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as such person retains both: (A) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares; and (B) the full economic interest in the shares. The person’s ownership of shares is deemed to continue during any period in which the person has delegated any voting power by means of a proxy, power of attorney, or other instrument or arrangement that is revocable at any time by the person.

(b) Any person seeking to request a special meeting shall first request that the Board of Directors fix a record date to determine the persons entitled to request a special meeting (the “ownership record date”) by delivering notice in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation (the “record date request notice”). A person’s record date request notice shall contain information about the class or series and number of shares of stock of the Corporation which are owned of record and beneficially by the person and state the business proposed to be acted on at the meeting. Upon receiving a record date request notice, the Board of Directors may set an ownership record date. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bylaws, the ownership record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the ownership record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and shall not be more than 10 days after the close of business on the date upon which the resolution fixing the ownership record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If the Board of Directors, within 10 days after the date upon which a valid record date request notice is received by the Secretary of the Corporation, does not adopt a resolution fixing the ownership record date, the ownership record date shall be the close of business on the 10th day after the date upon which a valid record date request notice is received by the Secretary (or, if such 10th day is not a business day, the first business day thereafter).

(c) In order for a stockholder-requested special meeting to be called by the Secretary of the Corporation, one or more written requests for a special meeting signed by persons (or their duly authorized agents) who own or who are acting on behalf of persons who own, as of the ownership record date, at least the requisite percent (the “special meeting request”), shall be delivered to the Secretary. A special meeting request shall: (i) state the business (including the identity of nominees for election as a director, if any) proposed to be acted on at the meeting, which shall be limited to the business set forth in the record date request notice received by the Secretary; (ii) bear the date of signature of each such person (or duly authorized agent) submitting the special meeting request; (iii) set forth the name and address of each person submitting the special meeting request (as they appear on the Corporation’s books, if applicable); (iv) contain the information required by Section 2.10 below with respect to any director nominations or other business proposed to be presented at the special meeting, and as to each person requesting the meeting and each other person (including any beneficial owner) on whose behalf the person is acting, other than persons who have provided such request solely in response to any form of public solicitation for such requests, and the additional information required by Section 2.9(a) below; (v) include documentary evidence that the requesting persons own the requisite percent as of the ownership record date; provided, however, that if the requesting persons are not the beneficial owners of the shares representing the requisite percent, then to be valid, the special meeting request must also include documentary evidence of the number of shares owned (as defined in Section 2.2(b) above) by the beneficial owners on whose behalf the special meeting request is made as of the ownership record date; and (vi) be delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation, by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, within 60 days after the ownership record date. The special meeting request shall be updated and supplemented within five business days after the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the stockholder requested-special meeting (or by the opening of

G-2

##### Table of Contents

business on the date of the meeting, whichever is earlier, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting is different from the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting), and in either case such information when provided to the Corporation shall be current as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting. In addition, the requesting person and each other person (including any beneficial owner) on whose behalf the person is acting, shall provide such other information as the Corporation may reasonably request within 10 business days of such a request.

(d) After receiving a special meeting request, the Board of Directors shall determine in good faith whether the persons requesting the special meeting have satisfied the requirements for calling a special meeting of stockholders, and the Corporation shall notify the requesting person of the Board’s determination about whether the special meeting request is valid. The date, time and place of the special meeting shall be fixed by the Board of Directors, and the date of the special meeting shall not be more than 90 days after the date on which the Board of Directors fixes the date of the special meeting. The record date for the special meeting shall be fixed by the Board of Directors as set forth in Section 7.6(a) below.

(e) A special meeting request shall not be valid, and the Corporation shall not call a special meeting if: (i) the special meeting request relates to an item of business that is not a proper subject for stockholder action under, or that involves a violation of, applicable law; (ii) an item of business that is the same or substantially similar (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) was presented at a meeting of stockholders occurring within 90 days preceding the earliest date of signature on the special meeting request; (iii) the special meeting request is delivered during the period commencing 90 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting and ending on the date of the next annual meeting of stockholders; or (iv) the special meeting request does not comply with the requirements of this Section 2.2. For purposes of this Section 2.2(f), the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders shall be deemed to have been held on July 23, 2020.

(f) Any person who submitted a special meeting request may revoke its written request by written revocation delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation at any time prior to the stockholder-requested special meeting. A special meeting request shall be deemed revoked (and any meeting scheduled in response may be cancelled) if the persons submitting the special meeting request, and any beneficial owners on whose behalf they are acting (as applicable), do not continue to own (as defined in Section 2.2(b) above) at least the requisite percent at all times between the date the record date request notice is received by the Corporation and the date of the applicable stockholder-requested special meeting, and the requesting person shall promptly notify the Secretary of the Corporation of any decrease in ownership of shares of stock of the Corporation that results in such a revocation. If, as a result of any revocations, there are no longer valid unrevoked written requests from the requisite percent, the Board of Directors shall have the discretion to determine whether or not to proceed with the special meeting.

(g) Business transacted at a stockholder-requested special meeting shall be limited to: (i) the business stated in the valid special meeting request received from the requisite percent; and (ii) any additional business that the Board of Directors determines to include in the Corporation’s notice of meeting. If none of the persons who submitted the special meeting request (or their qualified representatives, as defined in Section 2.10(c)(i)) appears at the special meeting to present the matter or matters to be brought before the special meeting that were specified in the special meeting request, the Corporation need not present the matter or matters for a vote at the meeting, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. The Board of Directors may postpone, reschedule or cancel any special meeting of stockholders previously scheduled pursuant to this Section 2.2.

Section 2.3 Notice of Stockholders’ Meetings.

(a) Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, notice of the place, if any, date, and time of the meeting of stockholders, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (if such date is different from the record date for determining the stockholders

The notice shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date on which the meeting is to be held, to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation) or these Bylaws. In the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called also shall be set forth in the notice.

(b) Except as otherwise required by law, notice may be given in writing directed to a stockholder’s mailing address as it appears on the records of the Corporation and shall be given: (i) if mailed, when notice is deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid; and (ii) if delivered by courier service, the earlier of when the notice is received or left at such stockholder’s address.

(c) So long as the Corporation is subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s proxy rules set forth in Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), notice shall be given in the manner required by such rules. To the extent permitted by such rules, notice may be given by electronic transmission directed to the stockholder’s electronic mail address, and if so given, shall be given when directed to such stockholder’s electronic mail address unless the stockholder has notified the Corporation in writing or by electronic transmission of an objection to receiving notice by electronic mail or such notice is prohibited by Section 232(e) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). If notice is given by electronic mail, such notice shall comply with the applicable provisions of Sections 232(a) and 232(d) of the DGCL.

(d) Notice may be given by other forms of electronic transmission with the consent of a stockholder in the manner permitted by Section 232(b) of the DGCL and shall be deemed given as provided therein.

(e) An affidavit that notice has been given, executed by the Secretary of the Corporation, Assistant Secretary or any transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation, shall be prima facie evidence of the facts stated in the notice in the absence of fraud. Notice shall be deemed to have been given to all stockholders who share an address if notice is given in accordance with the “householding” rules set forth in Rule 14a-3(e) under the Exchange Act and Section 233 of the DGCL.

(f) When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the place, if any, date and time thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided, however, that if the adjournment is for more than 30 days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board of Directors shall fix a new record date for notice of such adjourned meeting in accordance with Section 7.6(a), and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

Section 2.4 Organization.

Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors, the chair of the meeting shall have the authority to adopt and enforce such rules and regulations for the conduct of any meeting of stockholders and the safety of those in attendance as, in the judgment of the chair, are necessary, appropriate or convenient for the conduct of the meeting. Rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or by the chair of the meeting, may include, without limitation, establishing: (i) an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, their duly authorized and constituted proxies and such other persons as the chair of the meeting shall permit; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; (v) limitations on the time allotted for consideration of each agenda item and for questions and comments by participants; (vi) regulations for the opening and closing of the polls for balloting and matters which are to be voted on by ballot (if any); and (vii) procedures (if any) requiring attendees to provide the Corporation advance notice of their intent to attend the meeting.

The chair of the meeting, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting, shall have the power to declare that a nomination or other business was not properly brought before the meeting if the facts warrant (including if a determination is made, pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(i) of these Bylaws, that a nomination or other business was not made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 2.10 of these Bylaws), and if such chair should so declare, such nomination shall be disregarded or such other business shall not be transacted.

Section 2.5 List of Stockholders. The Corporation shall prepare, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting; provided, however, that if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than 10 days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the 10th day before the meeting date. Such list shall be arranged in alphabetical order and shall show the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Nothing in this Section 2.5 shall require the Corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of meeting; or (b) during ordinary business hours at the principal place of business of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be examined by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Except as otherwise required by law, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders required by this Section 2.5 or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

Section 2.6 Quorum. Except as otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation) or these Bylaws, at any meeting of stockholders, a majority of the voting power of the stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business; provided, however, that where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, a majority of the voting power of the stock of such class or series or classes or series outstanding and entitled to vote on that matter, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to such matter. If a quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of stockholders, then the chair of the meeting, or a majority of the voting power of the stock

G-5

##### Table of Contents

present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon, shall have power to adjourn or recess the meeting from time to time in accordance with Section 2.7, until a quorum is present or represented. Subject to applicable law, if a quorum initially is present at any meeting of stockholders, the stockholders may continue to transact business until adjournment or recess, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum, but if a quorum is not present at least initially, no business other than adjournment or recess may be transacted.

Section 2.7 Adjourned or Recessed Meeting. Any annual or special meeting of stockholders, whether or not a quorum is present, may be adjourned or recessed for any or no reason from time to time by the chair of the meeting, subject to any rules and regulations adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 2.4(b). Any such meeting may be adjourned for any or no reason (and may be recessed if a quorum is not present or represented) from time to time by a majority of the voting power of the stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. At any such adjourned or recessed meeting at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.

Section 2.8 Voting; Proxies.

(a) Except as otherwise required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation), each holder of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share of such stock held of record by such holder that has voting power upon the subject matter in question.

(b) Except as otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation), these Bylaws or any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, at each meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present, all corporate actions to be taken by vote of the stockholders shall be authorized by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the voting power of the stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter, and where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, if a quorum of such class or series or classes or series is present, such act shall be authorized by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the voting power of the stock of such class or series or classes or series present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot.

(c) Proxies. Every stockholder entitled to vote for directors, or on any other matter, shall have the right to do so either in person or by one or more persons authorized to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the Corporation generally. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by delivering to the Secretary of the Corporation a revocation of the proxy or an executed new proxy bearing a later date.

Section 2.9 Submission of Information by Director Nominees.

(ii) all completed and signed questionnaires prepared by the Corporation (including those questionnaires required of the Corporation’s directors and any other questionnaire the Corporation determines is necessary or advisable to assess whether a nominee will satisfy any qualifications or requirements imposed by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any law, rule, regulation or listing standard that may be applicable to the Corporation, and the Corporation’s corporate governance policies and guidelines) (all of the foregoing, “Questionnaires”). The Questionnaires will be promptly provided following a request therefor.

(b) A nominee for election or re-election as a director of the Corporation shall also provide to the Corporation such other information as it may reasonably request. The Corporation may request such additional information as necessary to permit the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such person to serve as a director of the Corporation, including information relevant to a determination whether such person can be considered an independent director.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bylaws, if a stockholder has submitted notice of an intent to nominate a candidate for election or re-election as a director pursuant to Section 2.10, the Questionnaires described in Section 2.9(a)(ii) above and the additional information described in Section 2.9(b) above shall be considered timely if provided to the Corporation promptly upon request by the Corporation, but in any event within five business days after such request, and all information provided pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall be deemed part of the stockholder’s notice submitted pursuant to Section 2.10.

##### Table of Contents

(b) Definitions.

(i) The maximum number of Stockholder Nominees appearing in the Corporation’s proxy materials with respect to an annual meeting of stockholders (the “Authorized Number”) shall not exceed the greater of two or 20% of the number of directors in office as of the last day on which a Stockholder Notice may be delivered pursuant to this Section 2.11 with respect to the annual meeting, or if such amount is not a whole number, the closest whole number (rounding down) below 20%; provided that the Authorized Number shall be reduced: (A) by any Stockholder Nominee whose name was submitted for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section 2.11 but whom the Board of Directors decides to nominate as a Board nominee; (B) by any nominees who were previously elected to the Board of Directors as Stockholder Nominees at any of the preceding two annual meetings and who are nominated for election at the annual meeting by the Board of Directors as a Board nominee; and (C) by any Stockholder Nominee who is not included in the Corporation’s proxy materials or is not submitted for director election for any reason, in accordance with the last sentence of Section 2.11(d)(ii). In the event that one or more vacancies for any reason occurs after the date of the Stockholder Notice but before the annual meeting and the Board of Directors resolves to reduce the size of the Board of Directors in connection therewith, the Authorized Number shall be calculated based on the number of directors in office as so reduced.

(ii) To qualify as an “Eligible Stockholder,” a stockholder or a group as described in this Section 2.11 must:

(A) Own and have Owned (as defined below), continuously for at least three years as of the date of the Stockholder Notice, a number of shares (as adjusted to account for any stock dividend, stock split, subdivision, combination, reclassification or recapitalization of shares of the Corporation that are entitled to vote generally in the election of directors) that represents at least 3% of the outstanding shares of the Corporation that are entitled to vote generally in the election of directors as of the date of the Stockholder Notice (the “Required Shares”), and

No shares may be attributed to more than one Eligible Stockholder, and no stockholder or beneficial owner, alone or together with any of its affiliates, may individually or as a member of a group qualify as or constitute more than one Eligible Stockholder under this Section 2.11. A group of any two or more funds shall be treated as only one stockholder or beneficial owner for this purpose if they are (1) under common management and investment control or (2) part of a “group of investment companies,” as such term is defined in Section 12(d)(1)(G)(ii) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

All information provided pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) shall be deemed part of the Stockholder Notice for purposes of this Section 2.11(c).

(A) the Eligible Stockholder or Stockholder Nominee breaches any of its agreements, representations or warranties set forth in the Stockholder Notice or otherwise submitted pursuant to this Section 2.11, any of the information in the Stockholder Notice or otherwise submitted pursuant to this Section 2.11 was not, when provided, true, correct and complete, or the Eligible Stockholder or applicable Stockholder Nominee otherwise fails to comply with its obligations pursuant to these Bylaws, including, but not limited to, its obligations under this Section 2.11;

(ii) An Eligible Stockholder submitting more than one Stockholder Nominee for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall rank such Stockholder Nominees based on the order that the Eligible Stockholder desires such Stockholder Nominees to be selected for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials and include such assigned rank in its Stockholder Notice submitted to the Corporation. In the event that the number of Stockholder Nominees submitted by Eligible Stockholders pursuant to this Section 2.11 exceeds the Authorized Number, the Stockholder Nominees to be included in the Corporation’s proxy materials shall be determined in accordance with the following provisions: the highest ranking Stockholder Nominee of each Eligible Stockholder for inclusion in the Corporation’s proxy materials until the Authorized Number is reached, going in order of the amount (largest to smallest) of shares of the Corporation each Eligible Stockholder disclosed as Owned in its Stockholder Notice submitted to the Corporation. If the Authorized Number is not reached after the highest ranking Stockholder Nominee has been selected from each Eligible Stockholder for any reason (including because a Stockholder Nominee does not satisfy the eligibility requirements in this Section), this selection process shall continue as many times as necessary, following the same order each time, until the Authorized Number is reached through the selection of Stockholder Nominees who satisfy the eligibility requirements in this Section. Following such determination, if any Stockholder Nominee who satisfies the eligibility requirements in this Section 2.11 thereafter is nominated by the Board of Directors, thereafter is not included in the Corporation’s proxy materials or thereafter is not submitted for director election for any reason (including the Eligible Stockholder’s or Stockholder Nominee’s failure to comply with this Section 2.11), no other nominee or nominees shall be included in the Corporation’s proxy materials or otherwise submitted for election as a director at the applicable annual meeting in substitution for such Stockholder Nominee.

(iii) Any Stockholder Nominee who is included in the Corporation’s proxy materials for a particular annual meeting of stockholders but either: (A) withdraws from or becomes ineligible or unavailable for election at the annual meeting for any reason, including for the failure to comply with any provision of these Bylaws (provided that in no event shall any such withdrawal, ineligibility or unavailability commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a Stockholder Notice); or (B) does not receive a number of votes cast in favor of his or her election that is at least equal to 20% of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote in the election of directors, shall be ineligible to be a Stockholder Nominee pursuant to this Section 2.11 for the next two annual meetings.

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.11, unless otherwise required by law or otherwise determined by the chair of the meeting or the Board of Directors, if the stockholder delivering the Stockholder Notice (or a proxy or corporate representative of the stockholder, as defined in Section 2.10) does not appear at the annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to present its Stockholder Nominee or Stockholder Nominees, such nomination or nominations shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of the election of the Stockholder Nominee or Stockholder Nominees may have been received by the Corporation. Without limiting the Board of Directors’ power and authority to interpret any other provisions of these Bylaws, the Board of Directors (and any other person or body authorized by the Board of Directors) shall have the power and authority to interpret this Section 2.11 and to make any and all determinations necessary or advisable to apply this Section 2.11 to any persons, facts or circumstances, in each case acting in good faith. This Section 2.11 shall be the exclusive method for stockholders to include nominees for director election in the Corporation’s proxy materials.

To be effective, such a consent must be delivered to the

G-17

##### Table of Contents

Corporation in accordance with Section 228(d) of the DGCL; provided, however, that the Corporation has not designated, and shall not designate, any information processing system for receiving such consents. No consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take action are delivered to the Corporation in accordance with this Section 2.11 within 60 days of the first date on which a consent is so delivered to the Corporation. Any person executing a consent may provide, whether through instruction to an agent or otherwise, that such a consent shall be effective at a future time (including a time determined upon the happening of an event), no later than 60 days after such instruction is given or such provision is made, if evidence of such instruction or provision is provided to the Corporation. Unless otherwise provided, any such consent shall be revocable prior to its becoming effective.

(b) Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for notice of such meeting had been the date that consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation in accordance with this Section 2.12.

Section 2.13 Inspectors of Election. Before any meeting of stockholders, the Corporation shall appoint one or more inspectors of election to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. Inspectors may be employees of the Corporation. The Corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the chair of the meeting may, and shall if required by law, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of their duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of their ability. Inspectors need not be stockholders. No director or nominee for the office of director at an election shall be appointed as an inspector at such election.

Such inspectors shall:

(a) determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the number of shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the validity of proxies and ballots;

(b) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors;

(c) count and tabulate all votes and ballots; and

(d) certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting, and their count of all votes and ballots.

Section 2.14 Meetings by Remote Communications. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication in accordance with Section 211(a)(2) of the DGCL. If authorized by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board of Directors may adopt, stockholders and proxyholders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication: (a) participate in a meeting of stockholders; and (b) be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, provided that: (i) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxyholder; (ii) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxyholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings; and (iii) if any stockholder or proxyholder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such vote or other action shall be maintained by the Corporation.

INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCEMENT OF EXPENSES

Section 6.1 Right to Indemnification.

(a) Each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or was or is otherwise involved in, any action, suit, arbitration, alternative dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, judicial, administrative or legislative hearing, or any other threatened, pending or completed proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of the Corporation or otherwise, including any and all appeals, whether of a civil, criminal, administrative, legislative, investigative or other nature (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or an officer of the Corporation or while a director or officer of the Corporation is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an “indemnitee”), or by reason of anything done or not done by them in any such capacity, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes, penalties and amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf

G-24

##### Table of Contents

of the indemnitee) actually and reasonably incurred by such indemnitee in connection therewith, all on the terms and conditions set forth in these Bylaws; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law or provided in Section 6.4 with respect to suits to enforce rights under this Article VI, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding, or part thereof, voluntarily initiated by such indemnitee (including claims and counterclaims, whether such counterclaims are asserted by: (i) such indemnitee; or (ii) the Corporation in a proceeding initiated by such indemnitee) only if such proceeding, or part thereof, was authorized or ratified by the Board of Directors or the Board of Directors otherwise determines that indemnification or advancement of expenses is appropriate.

(b) For the purposes of this Article VI, an “officer” refers to those individuals specifically elected as officers by the Board of Directors pursuant to Section 5.1 of these Bylaws.

Section 6.2 Right to Advancement of Expenses.

(a) In addition to the right to indemnification conferred in Section 6.1, an indemnitee shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, also have the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that an advancement of expenses shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision of a court of competent jurisdiction from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Article VI or otherwise.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 6.2(a), the Corporation shall not make or continue to make advancements of expenses to an indemnitee if a determination is reasonably made that the facts known at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that the indemnitee acted in bad faith or in a manner that the indemnitee did not reasonably believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, that the indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. Such determination shall be made: (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of directors who are not parties to such proceeding, whether or not such majority constitutes a quorum; (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, whether or not such majority constitutes a quorum; or (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to the indemnitee.

Section 6.3 Indemnification for Successful Defense. To the extent that an indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any proceeding (or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein), such indemnitee shall be indemnified under this Section 6.3 against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such defense. Indemnification under this Section 6.3 shall not be subject to satisfaction of a standard of conduct, and the Corporation may not assert the failure to satisfy a standard of conduct as a basis to deny indemnification or recover amounts advanced, including in a suit brought pursuant to Section 6.4 (notwithstanding anything to the contrary therein).

Section 6.4 Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a request for indemnification under Section 6.1 or Section 6.3 is not paid in full by the Corporation within 60 days, or if an advancement of expenses under Section 6.2 is not paid in full by the Corporation within 20 days, after a written request has been received by the Secretary of the Corporation, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware seeking an adjudication of entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of expenses. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit to the fullest extent permitted by law. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that the

G-25

##### Table of Contents

indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct for indemnification set forth in Section 145(a) or Section 145(b) of the DGCL. Further, in any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard of conduct for indemnification set forth in Section 145(a) or Section 145(b) of the DGCL. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met such applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under applicable law, this Article VI or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

Section 6.5 Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, provisions of a certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or otherwise.

Section 6.6 Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

Section 6.7 Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The Corporation may, to the extent and in the manner permitted by law, and to the extent authorized from time to time, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation.

Section 6.8 Nature of Rights. The rights conferred upon indemnitees in this Article VI shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of this Article VI that adversely affects any right of an indemnitee or its successors shall be prospective only and shall not limit or eliminate any such right with respect to any proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal.

Section 6.9 Settlement of Claims. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI to the contrary, the Corporation shall not be liable to indemnify any indemnitee under this Article VI for any amounts paid in settlement of any proceeding effected without the Corporation’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 6.10 Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Article VI, the Corporation shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the indemnitee (excluding insurance obtained on the indemnitee’s own behalf), and the indemnitee shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents necessary to enable the Corporation effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

Section 6.11 Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Article VI shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of such provision in any other

##### Table of Contents

circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article VI (including, without limitation, all portions of any paragraph of this Article VI containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not by themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other persons or entities or circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (b) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article VI (including, without limitation, all portions of any paragraph of this Article VI containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that are not themselves invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent of the parties that the Corporation provide protection to the indemnitee to the fullest extent set forth in this Article VI.

ARTICLE VII

CAPITAL STOCK

Section 7.1 Certificates of Stock. The shares of the Corporation shall be represented by certificates; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of stock shall be uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the Corporation. Every holder of stock represented by certificates shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by or in the name of the Corporation by any two authorized officers of the Corporation certifying the number of shares owned by such holder in the Corporation. Any or all such signatures may be facsimiles. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

Section 7.2 Special Designation on Certificates. If the Corporation is authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, then the powers, the designations, the preferences, and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face or back of the certificate that the Corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 202 of the DGCL, in lieu of the foregoing requirements there may be set forth on the face or back of the certificate that the Corporation shall issue to represent such class or series of stock a statement that the Corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, the designations, the preferences, and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights. Within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of uncertificated stock, the registered owner thereof shall be given a notice, in writing or by electronic transmission, containing the information required to be set forth or stated on certificates pursuant to this Section 7.2 or Section 151, 156, 202(a) or 218(a) of the DGCL or with respect to this Section 7.2 and Section 151 of the DGCL a statement that the Corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, the designations, the preferences, and the relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights. Except as otherwise expressly provided by law, the rights and obligations of the holders of uncertificated stock and the rights and obligations of the holders of certificates representing stock of the same class and series shall be identical.

Section 7.3 Transfers of Stock. Transfers of shares of stock of the Corporation shall be made only on the books of the Corporation upon authorization by the registered holder thereof or by such holder’s attorney thereunto authorized by a power of attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary of the Corporation or a transfer agent for such stock, and if such shares are represented by a certificate, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates for such shares properly endorsed or accompanied by a duly executed stock transfer power and the payment of any taxes thereon; provided, however, that the Corporation shall be entitled to recognize and enforce any lawful restriction on transfer. Transfers may also be made in any manner authorized by the Corporation (or its authorized transfer agent) and permitted by Section 224 of the DGCL.

##### Table of Contents

Section 7.4 Lost Certificates. The Corporation may issue a new share certificate or uncertificated shares in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the Corporation may require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or the owner’s legal representative to give the Corporation a bond (or other adequate security) sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it (including any expense or liability) on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares. The Board of Directors may adopt such other provisions and restrictions with reference to lost certificates, not inconsistent with applicable law, as it shall in its discretion deem appropriate.

Section 7.5 Registered Stockholders. The Corporation shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, and to vote as such owner, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise required by law.

Section 7.6 Record Date for Determining Stockholders.

(a) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjourned meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If the Board of Directors so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board of Directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjourned meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance herewith at the adjourned meeting.

(b) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than 60 days prior to such action. If no such record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

(c) Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation (including any Preferred Stock Designation), in order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than 10 days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action without a meeting, when no prior action of the Board of Directors is required by law, shall be the first date on which a signed consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken was delivered to the Corporation in accordance with Section 2.11. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action without a meeting, if prior action by the Board of Directors is required by

G-28

law, shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

Section 7.7 Regulations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board of Directors may make such additional rules and regulations as it may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration of shares of stock of the Corporation.

Section 7.8 Waiver of Notice. Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL or the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a written waiver, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

(1) Provided, however, that no appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting of stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation (or, in the case of a merger pursuant to § 251(h), as of immediately prior to the execution of the agreement of merger), were either: (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in § 251(f) of this title.

(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (b)(1) of this section, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to §§ 251, 252, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:

a. Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof;

b. Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;

c. Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a. and b. of this section; or

(4) Repealed by 82 Laws 2020, ch. 256, § 15.

(c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of

incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the provisions of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d), (e), and (g) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.

(d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:

(1) If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for notice of such meeting (or such members who received notice in accordance with § 255(c) of this title) with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this section that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder’s shares; provided that a demand may be delivered to the corporation by electronic transmission if directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in such notice. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has become effective; or

(2) If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to § 228, § 251(h), § 253, or § 267 of this title, then either a constituent corporation before the effective date of the merger or consolidation or the surviving or resulting corporation within 10 days thereafter shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of giving such notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, within the later of the consummation of the offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days after the date of giving such notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such holder’s shares; provided that a demand may be delivered to the corporation by electronic transmission if directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in such notice. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder’s shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either (i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, later than the later of the consummation of the offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder’s shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the

H-2

##### Table of Contents

secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.

(e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party shall have the right to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof, upon request given in writing (or by electronic transmission directed to an information processing system (if any) expressly designated for that purpose in the notice of appraisal), shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation (or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, the aggregate number of shares (other than any excluded stock (as defined in § 251(h)(6)d. of this title)) that were the subject of, and were not tendered into, and accepted for purchase or exchange in, the offer referred to in § 251(h)(2)), and, in either case, with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such statement shall be given to the stockholder within 10 days after such stockholder’s request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) of this section hereof, whichever is later. Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of such stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person’s own name, file a petition or request from the corporation the statement described in this subsection.

(f) Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.

(g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder. If immediately before the merger or consolidation the shares of the class or series of stock of the constituent corporation as to which appraisal rights are available were listed on a national securities exchange, the Court

H-3

##### Table of Contents

shall dismiss the proceedings as to all holders of such shares who are otherwise entitled to appraisal rights unless (1) the total number of shares entitled to appraisal exceeds 1% of the outstanding shares of the class or series eligible for appraisal, (2) the value of the consideration provided in the merger or consolidation for such total number of shares exceeds $1 million, or (3) the merger was approved pursuant to § 253 or § 267 of this title.

(h) After the Court determines the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding the Court shall determine the fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, and except as provided in this subsection, interest from the effective date of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment. At any time before the entry of judgment in the proceedings, the surviving corporation may pay to each stockholder entitled to appraisal an amount in cash, in which case interest shall accrue thereafter as provided herein only upon the sum of (1) the difference, if any, between the amount so paid and the fair value of the shares as determined by the Court, and (2) interest theretofore accrued, unless paid at that time. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholders entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder’s certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.

(i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court’s decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.

(j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.

(k) From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder’s demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just; provided, however that this provision shall not affect the right of any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such stockholder’s

H-4

demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section.

(l) The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 145 of the DGCL empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding; provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify directors, officers, employees and other agents of such corporation in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the person to be indemnified has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation must indemnify such person against the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which he or she actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.

The HoldCo Charter and the HoldCo Bylaws contain provisions that provide for the indemnification of officers and directors to the fullest extent as is permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, as may be amended from time to time.

As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, the HoldCo Charter contains a provision eliminating the personal liability of its directors to HoldCo or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as may be amended from time to time.

The HoldCo Bylaws provide that HoldCo shall indemnify, to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or was or is otherwise involved in, any action, suit, arbitration, alternative dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, judicial, administrative or legislative hearing, or any other threatened, pending or completed proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of HoldCo or otherwise, including any and all appeals, whether of a civil, criminal, administrative, legislative, investigative or other nature, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or an officer of HoldCo or while a director or officer of HoldCo is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, or by reason of anything done or not done by them in any such capacity, against all expense, liability and loss actually and reasonably incurred by such indemnitee.

The Merger Agreement provides that, for a period of six years from the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, HoldCo, the Surviving Bermuda Company and the Surviving Delaware Corporation will maintain in effect, for the benefit of the directors and officers of Marvell and its subsidiaries and the directors and officers of Inphi and its subsidiaries, and with respect to such directors’ and officers’ acts and omissions made in such capacity prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time, the existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy maintained by Marvell and Inphi as of October 28, 2020, to the extent that such insurance coverage is available on commercially reasonable terms, or a substitute policy or policies of comparable coverage is or are available. The Merger Agreement also provides that, notwithstanding the foregoing, HoldCo, the Surviving Bermuda Company and the Surviving Delaware Corporation will not be required to pay the Maximum Premium. The Merger Agreement further provides that, if any future annual premiums for an existing (or any substitute) directors’ and officers’ insurance policy exceeds the Maximum Premium, HoldCo, the Surviving Bermuda Company and the

II-1

##### Table of Contents

Surviving Delaware Corporation will be entitled to reduce the amount of coverage of such existing (or any substitute) directors’ and officers’ insurance policy to the amount of coverage that can be obtained for a premium equal to the Maximum Premium.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Surviving Bermuda Company and the Surviving Delaware Corporation or, prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time, Inphi, shall have the right to purchase a pre-paid, non-cancellable “tail” policy on any existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policy on terms and conditions no less favorable than its existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policy for a claims reporting or discovery period of six years from the closing date of the Mergers; provided, however, that none of HoldCo, the Surviving Bermuda Company or the Surviving Delaware Corporation shall be obligated to, and Inphi shall not, expend an amount for such “tail” policy that exceeds the Maximum Premium without Marvell’s prior written consent. The Merger Agreement provides that, if a Tail Policy Purchaser purchases such “tail” policy, such Tail Policy Purchaser shall, and HoldCo shall, cause such Tail Policy Purchaser to, maintain such “tail” policy in full force and effect, instead of the obligations of such Tail Policy Purchaser to maintain the Surviving Bermuda Company’s or the Surviving Delaware Corporation’s existing policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance or any substitute for such policy.

(4) | That, for purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser: If the Registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(5) | That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

| (i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

| (ii) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;

| (iii) | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and

| (iv) | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.

(6) | That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(7) | That prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this Registration Statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

(8) | That every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (7) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to this Registration Statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(9) | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,

| unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(10) | To respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this form, within one (1) business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

(11) | To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in this Registration Statement when it became effective.
