(&#147;Silicon Motion&#148; or &#147;the Company&#148;) today disclosed additional details regarding MaxLinear&#146;s termination of its May&nbsp;5, 2022 agreement to acquire the Company (the &#147;Merger Agreement&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As previously disclosed, MaxLinear&#146;s July&nbsp;26, 2023 notice of termination did not contain a factual basis for MaxLinear&#146;s claim that it was not
obligated to close its acquisition of the Company because the Company&#146;s business had suffered a material adverse effect (as such term is defined under Delaware law (an &#147;MAE&#148;)) and the Company had failed to operate its business in the
ordinary course after the Merger Agreement was signed. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the 15 months following the signing of the Merger Agreement, MaxLinear never once asserted,
prior to sending its July&nbsp;26, 2023 notice of termination, that there had been a material breach of the Merger Agreement, nor did it or its representatives ever mention an MAE or a breach of the ordinary course covenant. </P>

transaction following receipt of this regulatory approval. Approximately 10 hours after SAMR announced its approval of the merger, Silicon Motion received the termination letter from MaxLinear. The termination letter came as a complete shock to the
Company and its directors, officers, and employees who had worked cooperatively with their counterparts at MaxLinear since May 2022 to consummate the transaction. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">MaxLinear&#146;s purported termination and material breach of its Merger Agreement with the Company will be the subject of an arbitration for substantial
damages in excess of the termination fee in the Singapore International Arbitration Centre, as provided under the Merger Agreement. </P>
