ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Under Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, for a shareholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement for the 2010 annual general meeting, we must receive the written proposal by such shareholder at the mailing address of our business offices set forth below, no later than January 29, 2010. Such proposals also 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.

Shareholders may also make a shareholder proposal, including director nominations, not intended to be included in our proxy statement under Rule 14a-8 so long as such proposal complies with the Bye-Laws. In accordance with Bye-Laws 12(5)(b), 12(5)(c), 12(6) and 34 of the Bye-Laws, shareholder nominations and proposals may be voted on at an annual general meeting only if such nominations and proposals are made pursuant to written notice timely given to our Secretary and accompanied by certain information. To be timely, a shareholder’s written notice must be received by the company not less than 60 nor more than 180 days prior to the date set for the annual general meeting (or if no such date is set, the date that is not less than 60 nor more than 180 days prior to the anniversary of the previous year’s annual general meeting). To comply with the Bye-Laws, a shareholder must provide appropriate notice to us no earlier than January 11, 2010 and no later than May 11, 2010. 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 our board of directors and our Bye-Laws as then in effect. Our board of directors 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 our Bye-Laws and whether any such proposal will be acted upon at the annual general meeting.

All shareholder proposals should be addressed to our Secretary at the mailing address of our business offices at Marvell Technology Group Ltd., Argyle House, 41A Cedar Avenue, Hamilton, HM 12, Bermuda.

In addition, Section 79 of the Act provides that shareholders representing either (i) 5% of the total voting power of the common shares eligible to vote at a general meeting of the company, or (ii) not less than 100 shareholders may propose any resolution which may properly be moved at the next annual general meeting of the company. Upon timely receipt of notice, the company shall, at the expense of such shareholder(s), give the other shareholders of the company entitled to receive notice of the next annual general meeting notice of such proposed resolution. To be timely, the proposal requiring notice of a resolution must be deposited at our registered office at least six weeks before the annual general meeting. Shareholders satisfying the criteria of Section 79 may also require us to circulate a statement in respect of any matter to come before an annual general meeting by notice deposited at our registered office not less than one week prior to the annual general meeting.
