Table of ContentsThis excerpt taken from the MRVL DEF 14A filed Jun 2, 2008. Policy on Pre-Approval and Procedures The engagement of PricewaterhouseCoopers for non-audit accounting and tax services performed for us is limited to those circumstances where these services are considered integral to the audit services that PricewaterhouseCoopers provides or in which there is another compelling rationale for using its services. Pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, all audit and permitted non-audit services for which the company engages PricewaterhouseCoopers after May 6, 2003 require pre-approval by the audit committee. All audit and permitted non-audit service fees were approved by the audit committee. 44
Under Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, for a shareholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement for the 2009 annual general meeting, we must receive the written proposal by such shareholder at the mailing address of our principal executive offices set forth below, no later than February 6, 2009. 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 our Bye-Laws. In accordance with Bye-Law 34 of our Bye-Laws, shareholder nominations may be voted on at an annual general meeting only if such nominations 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 our Bye-Laws, you must provide appropriate notice to us no earlier than January 13, 2009 and no later than May 13, 2009. 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. 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 Bermuda Companies Act 1981 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. At the time of preparation of this proxy statement, we are not aware of any other matters to be brought before the annual general meeting. No eligible shareholder had submitted notice of any proposal before the printing and mailing of this proxy statement. However, if any other matters are properly presented for action, in the absence of instructions to the contrary, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy to vote, or refrain from voting, in accordance with their respective best judgment on such matters. 45
Pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder, officers and directors of the company and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common shares are required to file with the SEC and furnish to the company reports of ownership and change in ownership with respect to all equity securities of the company. Based solely on its review of the copies of such reports received by us during or with respect to the fiscal year ended February 2, 2008, and written representations from such reporting persons, we believe that our officers, directors and 10% shareholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to such individuals with the exception that Mr. Michael Rashkin was late filing a Form 3 and was late filing a Form 4 with respect to one transaction. Along with this proxy statement, we have provided each shareholder entitled to vote a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2008 without the exhibits thereto. We will provide, without charge, a copy of the exhibits to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 2, 2008, upon the written or oral request of any shareholder or beneficial owner of our common shares. Requests should be directed to the following address: | EXCERPTS ON THIS PAGE:
