This excerpt taken from the MRVL 8-K filed Jun 27, 2006.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 26, 2006, Marvell Technology Group Ltd. (“Marvell”) entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with Intel Corporation (“Intel”) to acquire the applications processor and communications processor businesses of Intel (the “Business”). The Agreement provides for, among other things, (1) the purchase by Marvell of certain assets and intellectual property of Intel related to the Business, (2) the assumption by Marvell of certain liabilities of Intel related to the Business and (3) the payment by Marvell to Intel of $600 million, to be paid in cash or, at Intel’s option, a combination of cash and up to $100 million of Marvell common stock with the number of shares to be based on Marvell’s average stock price for a limited period prior to closing. Intel has informed Marvell that it currently intends to receive the entire purchase price in cash.  The acquisition is currently expected to close in approximately four to five months following the satisfaction of regulatory requirements and other customary closing conditions, including the preparation of audited financial statements for the Business. In connection with the acquisition, the parties will enter into several ancillary agreements, including a transition services agreement and a supply agreement, designed to ensure a smooth transition of the Business to Marvell and to enable Intel to continue manufacturing products for the Business until Marvell can arrange other manufacturing resources.

The statement above regarding the timing of the expected closing of the acquisition constitutes a forward-looking statement within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This forward-looking statement is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, including risks relating to satisfaction of the conditions to closing of the acquisition and other risks associated with whether the closing might be delayed or not occur. For other factors that could cause Marvell’s results to vary from expectations, please see the risks detailed from time to time in Marvell’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 29, 2006. Marvell undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On May 25, 2006, the Executive Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Executive Compensation Committee”) of Marvell Technology Group Ltd. (the “Company”) approved the grant of stock options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock to Dr. Sehat Sutardja, the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer, Weili Dai, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, and Dr. Pantas Sutardja, the Company’s Chief Technology Officer.

 

Dr. Sehat Sutardja, Ms. Dai and Dr. Pantas Sutardja each received two options that are subject to performance-based vesting, as described in the following paragraphs.  Each such option granted to Dr. Sehat Sutardja covers 200,000 shares, each such option granted to Ms. Dai covers 133,500 shares, and each such option granted to Dr. Pantas Sutardja covers 89,000 shares.

 

The first such option will become vested and fully exercisable and the shares will be fully vested on the 10-K Due Date (as defined below) corresponding to the first fiscal year ending on or prior to January 30, 2010 in which Pro Forma EPS (as defined below) for such fiscal year exceeds $2.78 (the “Target EPS”).  The Target EPS will be proportionately adjusted by the Executive Compensation Committee for any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, share combination, recapitalization or similar event effected subsequent to the date of grant (and will be adjusted to be $1.39 should the 2-for-1 stock split in the form of a stock dividend approved, subject to shareholder approval of an increase in the Company’s authorized share capital, by the Board on February 21, 2006, be effected).  “10-K Due Date” means, with respect to the fiscal year in question, the prescribed due date on which the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K is required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  “Pro Forma EPS” will be calculated by adjusting diluted net income per share under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP EPS”) for the impact of (i) non-cash stock-based compensation charges by adding to GAAP EPS non-cash stock-based compensation expense recognized under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (R) (“SFAS 123R”), and (ii) non-cash charges associated with purchase accounting and other write-off related expenses by adding to GAAP EPS amortization and write-off of acquired intangible assets and other, and acquired in-process research and development (Pro Forma EPS for fiscal years ending after January 28, 2006 will reflect adjustments to add to GAAP EPS non-cash stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123R and will include purchase accounting adjustments for inventory).  Each such option shall have a term of 10 years from the date of grant; provided, that if such option shall not have become vested and fully exercisable as of the 10-K Due Date for the fiscal year ending January 30, 2010, the option will terminate and be of no further force or effect.

 

The second such option is identical to the first, except that the Target EPS is $4.17 (subject to similar adjustment as set forth above with respect to the first such option, including an adjustment to $2.085 should the 2-for-1 stock split in the form of a stock dividend approved, subject to shareholder approval of an increase in the Company’s authorized share capital, by the Board on February 21, 2006, be effected).

 

Dr. Sehat Sutardja and Ms. Dai also received options to purchase 81,000 and 42,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively.  These options vest as to 50% of the shares covered on the first anniversary of the date of grant and as to the remaining 50% on the second anniversary of the date of grant.

 

The exercise price per share of all options described above is $49.59, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq National Market on May 25, 2006, the date of grant.

 

Together with the options to purchase 146,000, 109,000 and 109,000 shares granted to Dr. Sehat Sutardja, Ms. Dai and Dr. Pantas Sutardja, respectively, by the Executive Compensation Committee in March 2006, the aforementioned stock options constitute the results of a review of compensation for such

individuals that was undertaken by the Executive Compensation Committee, with the assistance of its independent compensation consultant.  The exercise price per share of the March 2006 options is $68.75 and those options do not vest until January 31, 2009, when they become fully vested and exercisable.  Based on its review and the advice of its independent compensation consultant, the Executive Compensation Committee also adjusted the annual base salaries for such individuals, effective retroactive to the first pay period following May 25, 2005, to the following:  Dr. Sehat Sutardja, from $500,000 to $557,000; Ms. Dai, from $375,000 to $481,000; and Dr. Pantas Sutardja, from $300,000 to $400,000.
