This excerpt taken from the MRVL 10-Q filed Dec 6, 2007. Implemented or Planned Remedial Actions of Material Weaknesses During the quarter ended October 27, 2007 and subsequent to that date, we implemented or plan to implement further remedial actions, specifically: Implemented or planned remediation efforts regarding the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to an ineffective control environment include the following: Following the Special Committees recommendations, we are conducting a search for a new Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel and are planning to conduct a search for a new Chief Operating Officer and Vice President of Compliance. The Vice President of Compliance will report directly to the Audit Committee of the Board. During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, we appointed two new independent members of the Board. Additionally, the Boards Governance Committee is conducting a search for two remaining independent directors to fill existing vacancies. One of these independent directors will succeed Dr. Sutardja as Chairman of the Board. We continue to adopt enhancements to the process undertaken by our management and Audit Committee of the Board of Directors in connection with the finalization of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for filing with the SEC. Management is committed to a goal to significantly reduce internal control deficiencies. We are in the process of developing our detailed remediation plan for internal control deficiencies, prioritized based on our risk assessment of the deficiencies. We are actively assessing controls over other processes that may be more susceptible to potentially material misstatements. We have identified the general nature of our deficiencies at January 28, 2007 and have already begun remediation efforts. We also plan to further strengthen our controls over the monthly closing and financial reporting processes by continuing to hire additional personnel with knowledge, experience and training in the application of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. The hiring of additional, qualified personnel is critical to the building of a finance organization with the depth and breadth of knowledge to support our planned operations. Implemented or planned remediation efforts regarding the material weakness over accounting for and disclosure of our stock-based compensation expense under FAS 123R include the changes in internal control over financial reporting, as stated above, along with the following: We are in the process of developing effective internal controls over accounting for and disclosure of our stock-based compensation expense under FAS 123R. We are continuing to assess the need for additional managerial and qualified staff resources. As more qualified individuals are hired and training of appropriate personnel is completed, effective monitoring controls will be in place and maintained to ensure existence, completeness, accuracy, valuation and presentation of our stock-based compensation expense.

This excerpt taken from the MRVL 10-Q filed Jul 9, 2007. Implemented or Planned Remedial Actions of Material Weaknesses Subsequent to April 28, 2007, we implemented or plan to implement further remedial actions, specifically: · Implemented or planned remediation efforts regarding the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to an ineffective control environment include the following: We accepted the resignation of our former Vice President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer, George A. Hervey, on May 2, 2007. We also accepted Weili Dais resignation from her positions as our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. The Implementation Committee of our Board of Directors determined, contrary to the recommendation of the Special Committee that Ms. Dai have no continuing role with the Company, that retaining the services of Ms. Dai in a substantially reduced capacity as Director of Strategic Marketing and Business Development, an individual contributor in a non-managerial 37 role, and under the auspices of the Implementation Committee better serves the interests of all shareholders. Ms. Dai will have no authority to undertake any decisions affecting internal controls or financial matters of the Company. The Implementation Committee will provide periodic compliance updates to the Board of Directors on Ms. Dais activities. Dr. Sehat Sutardja will remain Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board, but will step down as Chairman of the Board in favor of a non-executive Chairman. The Implementation Committee believes that the reconstitution of the Board of Directors, the separation of the role of Chairman of the Board from that of Chief Executive Officer and President and the hiring of key qualified senior executives in Finance, Operations and Compliance will help address the issues discussed in the material weakness relating to our control environment noted above. Following the Special Committees recommendations, we are conducting a search for a new Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel and Vice President of Compliance. The Vice President of Compliance will report directly to the Audit Committee of the Board. Additionally, the Boards Governance Committee is conducting a search for three new independent directors to fill existing vacancies. One of these independent directors will succeed Dr. Sutardja as Chairman of the Board. We adopted enhancements to the process undertaken by our Audit Committee of the Board of Directors in connection with the finalization of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for filing with the SEC. The Executive Compensation Committee adopted a stock option grant policy. Further enhancements have been made regarding the memorialization of board actions and documentation of equity awards. We have initiated a multi-phased automation project of the stock option granting process to reduce manual validation work over multiple employee databases, including records maintained in locations with poorer administrative resources. We have completed the first phase of this automation initiative. We plan to provide the Audit Committee with a status report of outstanding internal control deficiencies and internal audit findings, including our progress made towards resolving outstanding items. We are actively conducting a search for a new Chief Financial Officer. We also plan to further strengthen our controls over the monthly closing and financial reporting processes by continuing to hire additional personnel with knowledge, experience and training in the application of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. The hiring of additional, qualified personnel is critical to the building of a finance organization with the depth and breadth of knowledge to support our planned operations. · Implemented or planned remediation efforts regarding the material weakness over accounting for and disclosure of our stock-based compensation expense under FAS 123R include the changes in internal control over financial reporting, as stated above, along with the following: We reviewed the accounting for and disclosure of our stock-based compensation expense process and have assessed the need for additional managerial and qualified staff resources. Once these qualified individuals are hired and training of appropriate personnel is completed, effective monitoring controls will be in place and maintained to ensure existence, completeness, accuracy, valuation and presentation of our stock-based compensation expense. | EXCERPTS ON THIS PAGE:
