Explanatory Note

On April 20, 2021 (the “Merger Effective Date”), Marvell Technology Group Ltd. (“Marvell”) completed the previously announced acquisition of Inphi Corporation (“Inphi”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), dated October 29, 2020, by and among Marvell, Marvell Technology, Inc. (“MTI”), Maui Acquisition Company Ltd, a Bermuda exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of MTI (“Bermuda Merger Sub”), Indigo Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of MTI (“Delaware Merger Sub”), and Inphi. Effective as of 4:01 p.m. Eastern Time on the Merger Effective Date (the “Bermuda Merger Effective Time”), Bermuda Merger Sub merged with and into Marvell (the “Bermuda Merger”), with Marvell continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of MTI. Effective as of 4:02 p.m. Eastern Time on the Merger Effective Date (the “Delaware Merger Effective Time”), Delaware Merger Sub merged with and into Inphi (the “Delaware Merger” and, together with the Bermuda Merger, the “Mergers”), with Inphi continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of MTI. As a result of the Mergers, Marvell and Inphi became wholly owned subsidiaries of MTI.

This Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) establishes MTI as the successor issuer to Marvell and Inphi pursuant to Rule 12g-3(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Pursuant to Rule 12g-3(d) under the Exchange Act, shares of common stock, par value $0.002 per share, of MTI (“MTI Shares”) are deemed to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and MTI is subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. MTI hereby reports this succession in accordance with Rule 12g-3(f) under the Exchange Act.

 

Item 1.01

Entry into Material Definitive Agreement

Following the Merger Effective Date, MTI intends to enter into indemnification agreements (the “Indemnification Agreements”) with its directors and executive officers. Subject to certain specified exceptions, these Indemnification Agreements provide for indemnification against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement by any of these individuals in any action, suit or proceeding, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The foregoing description of the Indemnification Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Indemnification Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

 

Item 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

At the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, each common share, par value $0.002 per share, of Marvell (each, a “Marvell Share”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time (other than Marvell Shares held by Marvell, MTI, Bermuda Merger Sub or Inphi or any other subsidiary of Marvell or Inphi) was converted into the right to receive one MTI Share. At the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Inphi (each, an “Inphi Share”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time (other than (i) Inphi Shares held by Inphi, Marvell, MTI, Delaware Merger Sub or any other subsidiary of Marvell or Inphi and (ii) Inphi Shares with respect to which appraisal rights are properly exercised and not withdrawn under Delaware law) was converted into the right to receive 2.323 MTI Shares and $66.00 in cash, without interest. Each Inphi stockholder will receive cash for any fractional MTI Share that such stockholder would otherwise have received in the Delaware Merger.

Marvell and MTI funded the cash portion of the consideration for the Mergers with borrowings under the Term Credit Agreement (as defined below) and proceeds of the previously announced offering and issuance of (i) $500 million aggregate principal amount of 1.650% Senior Notes due 2026, (ii) $750 million aggregate principal amount of 2.450% Senior Notes due 2028 and (iii) $750 million aggregate principal amount of 2.950% Senior Notes due 2031.

As provided in the Merger Agreement, at the Bermuda Merger Effective Time all options, restricted stock units, performance awards and other equity awards relating to Marvell Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time were converted into an equivalent option to purchase, or award to be paid in, MTI Shares and remain subject to the same terms, conditions and restrictions as were applicable under the original option or award.


As provided in the Merger Agreement, at the Delaware Merger Effective Time:

 

   

each outstanding option to purchase Inphi Shares (each, an “Inphi Option”), other than an Out-of-the-money Option (as defined below), held by a person who is either continuing in employment with MTI, Inphi or any subsidiary or affiliate of Inphi after the Delaware Merger Effective Time (each, a “Continuing Employee”) or continuing in service with MTI, Marvell, Inphi or any subsidiary or affiliate of Inphi after the Delaware Merger Effective Time (each, a “Continuing Service Provider”), whether vested or unvested, was assumed by MTI and converted into an option to purchase, on substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Inphi Option, that number of MTI Shares equal to the product of 3.6955 and the number of Inphi Shares subject to such Inphi Option, at an exercise price per MTI Share calculated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement;

 

   

each outstanding and vested Inphi Option, other than an Out-of-the-money Option held by a person who is not a Continuing Employee or a Continuing Service Provider was cancelled in exchange for the right of the holder to receive an amount in cash equal to $177.71 less the exercise price applicable to such Inphi Option;

 

   

each outstanding restricted stock unit of Inphi (each, an “Inphi RSU”) held by a Continuing Employee or a Continuing Service Provider that was unvested as of immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time was converted into that number of MTI restricted stock units equal to the product of 3.6955 and the number of Inphi Shares subject to such Inphi RSU, which MTI restricted stock units will be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Inphi RSU;

 

   

each outstanding Inphi RSU that was vested immediately prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, including any Inphi RSUs that become vested by their terms immediately prior to or as of the Delaware Merger Effective Time, was cancelled in exchange for the merger consideration for each Inphi Share subject to such Inphi RSU;

 

   

each outstanding performance-based restricted stock unit of Inphi that is eligible to vest based on the per share market value of the Inphi Shares exceeding one or more relative performance target levels (each, an “Inphi MSU”) was cancelled in exchange for the merger consideration for each Inphi Share underlying the Inphi MSU that became vested pursuant to the terms of the Inphi MSU, based on actual performance measured as of April 20, 2021; and

 

   

each outstanding performance-based restricted stock unit of Inphi other than an Inphi MSU (each, an “Inphi PSU”) held by a Continuing Employee or a Continuing Service Provider that was unvested immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time was converted into that number of MTI restricted stock units equal to the product of 3.6955 and the target number of Inphi Shares subject to such Inphi PSU, which MTI restricted stock units will vest subject only to continued employment or service of the holder through the applicable vesting dates under the Inphi PSUs (except in the case of one Continuing Employee, whose award will remain subject to performance conditions) but will otherwise be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Inphi PSUs.

Further, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) effective immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time, each Inphi Option and Inphi RSU held by any non-employee member of Inphi’s board of directors that was then outstanding and unvested became vested in full; (ii) any Inphi Option that had a per share exercise price equal to or greater than $177.71 (an “Out-of-the-money Option”) was canceled for no consideration and (iii) each Inphi Option, Inphi RSU and Inphi PSU that was held by a person who was not a Continuing Employee or a Continuing Service Provider that was outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Delaware Merger Effective Time was canceled for no consideration.


The issuance of MTI Shares to Marvell shareholders and Inphi stockholders in connection with the Mergers, as described above, was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-251606) (the “Registration Statement”), filed by MTI with the SEC and declared effective on March 11, 2021.

This summary is not intended to modify or supplement any factual disclosures about Marvell, MTI or Inphi, and should not be relied upon as disclosure about Marvell, MTI or Inphi without consideration of the periodic and current reports and statements that Marvell, MTI or Inphi file with the SEC.

In particular, the representations and warranties made by the parties to each other in the Merger Agreement reflect negotiations between, and are solely for the benefit of, the parties thereto and may be limited or modified by a variety of factors, including: subsequent events, information included in public filings, disclosures made during negotiations, correspondence between the parties and disclosure schedules to the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, the representations and warranties may not describe the actual state of affairs at the date they were made or at any other time and you should not rely on them as statements of fact.

Prior to the Bermuda Merger Effective Time, Marvell Shares and Inphi Shares were registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”). As a result of the Mergers and as of the Delaware Merger Effective Time, Inphi Shares will cease to be traded and will no longer be listed on Nasdaq and MTI Shares will be substituted for Marvell Shares on Nasdaq. As of the open of trading on April 21, 2021, MTI Shares will trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “MRVL.” Each of Marvell and Inphi expects to file a Form 15 with the SEC to terminate the registration under the Exchange Act of the Marvell Shares and the Inphi Shares, respectively, and suspend their respective reporting obligations under Sections 12(g) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
