his extensive board leadership experience. In addition to MaxLinear, Mr.&nbsp;Pardun has served and continues to serve on the board of directors of other public technology companies. In particular, Mr.&nbsp;Pardun served for many years as the <FONT

well as the ability of our independent directors to evaluate and oversee management and its decision-making. Dr.&nbsp;Seendripu and Mr.&nbsp;Pardun speak regularly on strategic, operational, and management matters facing MaxLinear. In addition, as
discussed below, our board of directors holds executive sessions consisting only of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-employee</FONT> directors in conjunction with each regular quarterly meeting of the board, and Mr.&nbsp;Pardun and
Dr.&nbsp;Seendripu discuss board feedback to management following these executive sessions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><A NAME="toc542971_8"></A>Director Independence </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, we are required under NYSE listing requirements to maintain a board comprised of a
majority of &#147;independent&#148; directors, as determined affirmatively by our board. In February 2018, our board of directors undertook a review of the independence of our directors and considered whether any director has a material relationship
with us that could compromise his ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his responsibilities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with its
review of Dr.&nbsp;Theodore Tewksbury&#146;s independence, our board of directors considered his prior status as the interim chief executive officer of Entropic Communications, Inc., or Entropic, which was acquired by MaxLinear during the second
quarter of fiscal 2015. In particular, the board noted that Dr.&nbsp;Tewksbury was appointed to serve as Entropic&#146;s interim chief executive officer following the announcement of the resignation of its prior chief executive officer and
contemporaneously with Entropic&#146;s announcement that it had engaged an outside financial advisor and was conducting a strategic review process, which culminated in Entropic&#146;s sale to MaxLinear. Dr.&nbsp;Tewksbury served as Entropic&#146;s
interim chief executive officer from November 2014 through April 2015. Given the circumstances of Dr.&nbsp;Tewksbury&#146;s appointment and his short tenure as Entropic&#146;s interim chief executive officer, our board determined that his prior
service should not impair his ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his responsibilities as a member of our board of directors. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a result of its review, our board of directors determined that directors Steven C. Craddock, Albert&nbsp;J. Moyer, Thomas E. Pardun, Donald
E. Schrock, and Theodore Tewksbury, Ph.D., representing a majority of our directors, are &#147;independent directors&#148; as defined under the rules of the NYSE. Kishore Seendripu, Ph.D. is not considered an independent director because of his

independent directors during each regularly scheduled board meeting and as appropriate or requested by the independent directors during telephonic meetings. These executive sessions are chaired by our Lead Director. Dr.&nbsp;Seendripu, as the only
current management director, does not participate in sessions of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-management</FONT> directors. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><A NAME="toc542971_10">

board of directors has the ultimate oversight responsibility for the risk management process, various committees of the board also have responsibility for risk management. The charter of our audit committee provides that one of the committee&#146;s
responsibilities is oversight of certain compliance matters. In addition, in setting compensation, our compensation committee strives to create incentives that encourage a level of risk taking consistent with our business. In connection with its
oversight of compensation-related risks, our compensation committee has reviewed our compensation programs and practices for employees, including executive and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-executive</FONT> programs and practices. In its
review, our compensation committee evaluated whether our policies and programs encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking and controls, and how such policies and programs are structured with respect to risks and rewards, as well as controls
designed to mitigate any risks. As a result of this review, our compensation committee determined that any risks that may result from our compensation policies and practices for its employees are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse
effect on MaxLinear. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">At periodic meetings of the board and its committees and in other meetings and discussions, management reports to

among other matters, management provides our audit committee periodic reports on our compliance programs and efforts and investment policy and practices. </P>

or executive officer. In the event a director or executive officer fails to comply with the guidelines on or before the applicable deadline, the director or executive officer will be required to retain an amount equal to 75% of the net shares (after
taxes and satisfaction of any purchase price) received as the result of exercising stock options or stock appreciation rights or the vesting of full value awards. </P>

connection with our initial public offering, our compensation committee developed a policy relating to equity compensation for our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-employee</FONT> directors under our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. The policy
initially provided for the grant of stock options upon first becoming a director and annual option grants at subsequent annual meetings, and our compensation committee has generally reviewed our compensation philosophies and policy on a <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">bi-annual</FONT> basis in consultation with Compensia. In February 2012, our board and compensation committee amended our outside director equity incentive policy to provide for the grant of shares of our Class&nbsp;A
common stock rather than stock options. Our board and compensation committee reviewed its compensation philosophies again in May 2014 and, most recently, in June 2016. The principle change arising from the June 2016 review was an increase in new and
continuing director equity incentive awards to a value between the 50th and 75th percentile of our current peer group. Our board and compensation committee do not currently expect to review <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-employee</FONT>
director compensation prior to 2019 although they may make modifications if they determine appropriate based on changed circumstances. In that regard, the board and compensation committee increased the value of
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-employee</FONT> director equity compensation to a level slightly above our peer group </P>

advisory stockholder vote on executive compensation under the Dodd-Frank Act. The advisory vote on executive compensation received approximately 97%, 98%, 96%, 96%, 98%, and 98% support of the votes cast by stockholders in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015,
2016, and 2017 respectively. As an advisory vote, the results of this stockholder vote are not binding upon us; however, our compensation committee, which is responsible for designing and administering our executive compensation program, values the
opinions expressed by stockholders in their vote and considered the outcome of this vote when it made compensation decisions for named executive officers. In addition, at our 2017 annual meeting of stockholders, the stockholders approved holding the
advisory vote every year, which we believe will allow for a meaningful evaluation period of performance against our compensation practices. </P>

auditing MaxLinear&#146;s financial statements and internal control over financial reporting and expressing its opinion as to whether the statements present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States,
MaxLinear&#146;s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. The audit committee does, however, consult with management and the independent registered public accounting firm prior to the presentation of financial statements to

the audit committee&#146;s authority and oversight responsibilities do not independently assure that the audits of MaxLinear&#146;s financial statements have been carried out in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (PCAOB) or that the financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our compensation committee was formed, among other purposes, to ensure that our compensation programs are competitive and that they offer
appropriate incentives for recruitment and retention. In recent years, our compensation philosophy has been heavily equity-based in the form of restricted stock units and equity settled awards under our annual incentive compensation programs. While
cash compensation in the form of base salaries has recently increased consistent with the increasing scope of our business and operations, we expect equity compensation will remain a material portion of our compensation programs. For example,
substantially all of our executive and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-executive</FONT> bonus plan payments for our 2017 corporate performance period were made in the form of shares of our common stock, consistent with bonus awards for all
performance periods since 2012. In connection with its annual review of our bonus programs, our compensation committee has considered, and expects to continue to consider, the advisability of cash awards. To date, however, our compensation committee
has determined that equity based bonus awards have been important to maintain our liquidity position and to encourage equity ownership by our executive officers and employees. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our compensation committee generally determines allocations of compensation between cash and equity or among different forms of <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-cash</FONT> compensation based on its review of typical allocations within our compensation peer group. The committee has not adopted, however, and has no current plans to adopt, any policy requiring a specific
allocation between cash and equity compensation or between short-term and long-term compensation. In the course of its deliberations, our compensation committee reviews each component of compensation, how they relate to each other, and in particular
how they relate to and affect total compensation. Our compensation committee&#146;s philosophy is that a substantial portion of an executive officer&#146;s compensation should be performance-based, whether long-term incentives in the form of equity
or short term annual incentives tied to corporate and individual performance objectives. In that regard, we expect to continue to use equity incentive awards as a significant component of compensation because we believe that they best align
individual compensation with the creation of stockholder value. Bonus programs we have implemented in the past were, and we expect any future programs will be, substantially tied to annual financial performance targets. </P>

Dr.&nbsp;Seendripu and exercises its discretion in modifying, accepting, or rejecting any recommended adjustments or awards. Without the participation of Dr.&nbsp;Seendripu, our compensation committee, as part of the annual review process, conducts
a similar evaluation of his contribution and individual performance and makes determinations with respect to any base salary adjustments, targets under any annual cash incentive programs, and stock option grants or other equity incentives. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The market for experienced management is highly competitive in the semiconductor industry. We seek to attract and retain the most highly
qualified executives to manage each of our business functions, and we face substantial competition in recruiting management from companies ranging from established players with multibillion dollar revenues to entrepreneurial, early-stage companies.
We are fortunate that many members of our executive management team have long tenures with us, but from time to time we also have been required to recruit new executive officers. Recently, for example, our chief financial officer announced that he
would be leaving MaxLinear in May 2018 to pursue an opportunity at a venture capital-backed company. As a result of this departure and more generally with respect to executive officer recruitment and retention, we need to ensure that our executive
compensation programs provide sufficient recruitment and retention incentives as well as incentives to achieve our long-term strategic business and financial objectives. We expect competition for individuals with our required skill sets,
particularly technical and engineering skills, to remain intense even in weak global macroeconomic environments. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">From time to time, our
compensation committee has engaged Compensia, an independent compensation consulting firm with substantial experience in the technology sector, to evaluate our levels and types of executive </P>

compensation and to recommend changes as appropriate. Among other objectives, Compensia has assisted us in identifying a group of peer companies for purposes of benchmarking our levels of
compensation; gathered and analyzed compensation data from those peer companies as well as from other available compensation data; advised us on the creation and implementation of performance-based incentive plans, including determining target bonus
levels; and assisted us in structuring awards as part of the equity incentive element of our compensation program, including assisting us in establishing appropriate amounts for equity incentive awards. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Mr.&nbsp;Pardun consults regularly with Compensia in connection with specific aspects of or questions relating to our executive compensation,
and our compensation committee periodically engages Compensia to conduct a comprehensive review as our compensation committee determines necessary. Aggregate fees paid for Compensia&#146;s services to our compensation committee did not exceed
$120,000 during 2017 or in any prior fiscal year. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For purposes of its periodic reviews, our compensation committee, in consultation with
Compensia, has established a peer group of companies that it believes to be reasonably comparable to MaxLinear with respect to size, business scope, and market capitalization. The committee, in consultation with Compensia, updates the peer group
from time to time to reflect changed circumstances (<I>e.g.</I>, mergers and sale transactions) affecting the peer group. In that regard and as indicated below, consolidation in our industry and the impacts of the Entropic and Exar acquisitions
resulted in changes to our peer group from 2017 to 2018. Our compensation committee also considers substantially larger companies as aspirational peers but gives relatively less weight to aspirational peers because of differences in our relative
sizes that make meaningful comparisons difficult. While these aspirational peers remain important benchmarks, particularly in considering competitive factors relating to executive and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-executive</FONT>
compensation, they are less relevant for our executive compensation determinations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our peer group for 2017 is set forth in the table

<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:2%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Annual Incentive Program for 2017 Corporate Performance Period </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our compensation committee periodically reviews our philosophy and practices concerning annual incentive compensation. Our compensation
committee believes that our continuing focus on revenue generation and achieving specific financial and operating performance metrics supports implementation of an incentive program with payouts earned through achievement of identified corporate
objectives and individual performance. Accordingly, our executive incentive bonus plan establishes award targets, corporate objectives, and potential adjustments for each executive officer at various levels of under-performance or over-performance.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In 2017, our compensation committee established a single performance period under the executive incentive bonus plan linked to corporate
financial performance targets over the course of the full fiscal year and has continued this practice for the 2018 corporate performance period. In the past, the compensation committee modified the structure of the plan and bifurcated the
performance period into two first and second half periods in each of 2015 and 2016 to focus management on near-term objectives in the two performance periods. Our compensation committee expects to reevaluate the structure of the executive incentive
bonus program, including the duration of the relevant performance periods, on an annual basis. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In making its decisions whether financial
targets have been achieved under our executive incentive bonus plan, our compensation committee has the authority to make appropriate adjustments to the targets for the expected effects of any acquisitions or other approved business plan changes
made during the course of the particular corporate performance period; to adjust revenue as it determines appropriate to exclude certain <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-recurring</FONT> items under generally accepted accounting principles such
as gains or losses on sales of assets; and to adjust our reported operating income or loss to exclude certain charges from our operating expenses, including stock compensation expense, bonus plan accruals, restructuring and impairment charges, any
acquisition related charges, and expenses associated with litigation or other regulatory matters. For purposes of determining the portion of awards based on individual performance, the standard is subjective based on the committee&#146;s discretion
and views with input from Dr.&nbsp;Seendripu relating to the performance of executive officers reporting to him. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:2%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>2017 Bonus Awards
</I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Bonus awards under our executive incentive bonus plan for the 2017 corporate performance period were based on target metrics for
revenue, gross margin, and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> operating expenses, as well as a subjective individual performance metric. Relative to the aggregate 2017 bonus opportunity, revenue carried a 40% weighting; gross margin
carried a 20% weighting; and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> operating expenses carried a 20% weighting. The balance of the bonus opportunity, or 20%, was based on our compensation committee&#146;s discretionary views of each
executive&#146;s individual performance (informed with respect to Dr.&nbsp;Seendripu&#146;s direct reports by his input to the committee). For each financial performance objective, our compensation committee established a minimum threshold condition
(or in the case of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> operating expense objective, a maximum threshold condition) that was required be achieved before the objective was deemed satisfied. Awards were then to be determined on a
linear, percentage basis for performance between the minimum threshold and target level of performance, with the bonus amount allocable to the objective being 100% earned at target performance. For performance better than target, awards were
eligible for upward adjustment on a linear, percentage basis, subject to a cap at 150% of the target award opportunity allocable to each performance metric. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Actual revenues for 2017 did not meet the revenue target, and no bonuses were paid with respect to the revenue objective. Based on corporate
performance in excess of the gross margin and strong performance relative to our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> operating expense targets, in the first quarter of 2018, each of the named executive officers received bonus awards

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We grant equity-based incentives to employees, including our executive officers, in order to create a corporate culture that aligns employee
interests with stockholder interests. Other than the issuance of shares to our founders when we were first incorporated, our equity incentive plans have provided the principal method for our executive officers to acquire an equity position in our
company. We have not granted, nor do we intend to grant, equity compensation awards in anticipation of the release of material, nonpublic information that is likely to result in changes to the price of our common stock, such as a significant
positive or negative earnings announcement. Similarly, we have not timed, nor do we intend to time, the release of material, nonpublic information based on equity award grant dates. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Prior to our initial public offering in March 2010, we granted options and other equity incentives to our officers under our 2004 Stock Plan.
In connection with our initial public offering, our board of directors adopted the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, which became effective in March 2010 upon the completion of our initial public offering. The 2010 Equity Incentive Plan permits the grant
of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units, performance shares, and other stock-based awards. All equity incentive plans and awards are administered by our compensation committee under
the delegated authority established in our compensation committee charter. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To date, our equity incentives have been granted principally
with time-based vesting. Until our 2011 compensation review, our equity compensation award grants consisted entirely of stock options. In 2011, our compensation committee determined that it was appropriate to begin granting restricted stock units in
addition to stock options for both employees and executive officers. Factors contributing to the decision to begin granting restricted stock units included the competitive dynamics of the markets in which we recruit, with most larger semiconductor
companies offering &#147;full value&#148; awards in the form of restricted stock units; the fact that competitors were using such full value awards as a recruiting inducement to our engineers and other employees; and the more favorable dilutive
impact of restricted stock units relative to stock option grants. Beginning in 2015, for these various reasons, our compensation committee determined that annual equity incentive awards would consist entirely of restricted stock units. As a result,
we did not grant stock options to our executive officers in 2017. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following table sets forth restricted stock unit awards to our

Mr.&nbsp;Lougheed, who joined MaxLinear in connection with our acquisition of Exar. Except with respect to Mr.&nbsp;Lougheed, our compensation committee believed that the size of the equity
incentive awards is consistent with our compensation committee&#146;s philosophy that a substantial portion of total compensation consist of long term equity incentives at levels between the 50th and 75th percentiles of our peer group. As indicated,
Mr.&nbsp;Lougheed&#146;s 2017 equity incentive awards, which had a grant date unvested fair value of approximately $1.79&nbsp;million, reflected his status as a new executive officer and employee of MaxLinear. Accordingly, the size of the award was
larger relative to an annual award, and the vesting conditions established with the award and described below required that he remain employed through at least November 2018 before any vesting would occur. The committee believes that the size of
Mr.&nbsp;Lougheed&#146;s award, considered in conjunction with the vesting terms and the other terms and conditions of his overall compensation program, were reasonable and appropriate, particularly in light of Mr.&nbsp;Lougheed&#146;s continuing
responsibility for the product lines acquired with Exar Corporation. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

and restated agreements provide for certain termination benefits both in the context of a change in control (as defined in the agreements) and outside the context of a change in control. The
agreements have an initial term of three (3)&nbsp;years, and at the end of the initial three (3)&nbsp;year term, the agreement will automatically renew for an additional three (3)&nbsp;year term, unless either party elects to terminate at least
ninety (90)&nbsp;days prior to the automatic renewal. The agreements terminate on the earlier to occur of (i)&nbsp;the date the agreement expires, (ii)&nbsp;the date all obligations of the parties have been satisfied, or (iii)&nbsp;at any time prior
to a change in control if the executive has ceased to be an &#147;officer&#148; for purposes of Section&nbsp;16 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Notwithstanding these termination provisions, if a change in control occurs and

setting the terms of and determining whether to approve these agreements, our compensation committee recognized that executives often face challenges securing new employment following termination, in particular following a change of control, and
that distractions created by uncertain job security surrounding potentially beneficial transactions to us and our stockholders may have a detrimental impact on their performance. In contexts not involving a change of control, our compensation
committee sought to establish a reasonable contractual benefit for precedential purposes and to fix executive expectations prior to an actual termination. In addition, the change in control severance benefits identified below are intended to provide
these executive officers with post-change in control termination protection of salary and benefits while they seek new employment. We also have agreed to accelerate vesting of certain equity incentives in connection with certain terminations
following a change of control, based on our view that these executive officers are not likely to be retained in comparable positions by a large acquirer, and the benefit of these equity incentives would otherwise be forfeited upon a termination of
employment, including an involuntary termination by an acquiring company. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:2%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer </I></P>

Mr.&nbsp;Spice, our chief financial officer, terminates his employment with us for good reason (as defined in the agreement), or if we terminate him without cause (as defined in the agreement), and such termination occurs outside of the period
beginning three (3)&nbsp;months prior to and ending twenty-four (24)&nbsp;months following a change in control, the executive will be entitled to a single lump sum severance payment equal to six&nbsp;(6)&nbsp;months of the executive&#146;s

chief executive officer and certain other highly compensated officers to $1,000,000 per person, unless the compensation was &#147;performance-based&#148; as defined under Section&nbsp;162(m). As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that become law
in late 2017, the number of individuals covered by Section&nbsp;162(m) has been expanded to include our principal financial officer and the exception for &#147;performance-based&#148; compensation has been eliminated. While our compensation
committee cannot predict how the deductibility limit may impact our compensation program in future years, our compensation committee intends to maintain an approach to executive compensation that is intended principally to link pay to performance.

provider receives &#147;deferred compensation&#148; that does not satisfy the requirements of Section&nbsp;409A. Although we do not maintain traditional nonqualified deferred compensation plans, Section&nbsp;409A does apply to certain change of
