Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

(a)

As previously announced by Marvell Technology Group Ltd. (the “Company”), a special committee of the Board of Directors has been conducting an internal review relating to the Company’s historical stock option practices and related accounting matters.  Although the committee is continuing its review of these matters, the committee has reached a preliminary conclusion that the actual measurement dates for financial accounting purposes of certain stock option grants awarded in the past likely differ from the recorded grant dates for such awards.

Based on the report of the special committee, and upon the recommendation of management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors concluded on October 2, 2006 that the Company will need to restate historical financial statements to record additional non-cash charges for stock-based compensation expense related to past option grants. The Company has not yet been able to determine the amount of these charges, the resulting tax and accounting impact of these actions, or which specific reporting periods require restatement.  Accordingly, the Board of Directors has concluded that the financial statements and all earnings press releases and similar communications issued by the Company relating to periods beginning on or after its initial public offering in June 2000 should no longer be relied upon.  The Company intends to file its restated financial statements as soon as practicable after the completion of the special committee’s review.  The Company’s management and the Audit Committee have discussed this matter with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

The Company issued a press release on October 2, 2006, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
