Corporate Structure & Redomiciliation

Current Incorporation: Delaware, United States ✓ 10-K Annual Report FY2026

Historical: Originally incorporated in Bermuda (Marvell Technology Group Ltd.); underwent redomiciliation on 2021-04-20 in connection with Inphi acquisition. ✓ Marvell Technology, Inc. (Form: 8-K12B, 2021-04-20)

Restructuring Rationale: Formation of Delaware holding company (HoldCo, initially “Maui HoldCo, Inc.” on 2020-10-23; renamed “Marvell Technology, Inc.” on 2020-12-08) to facilitate Inphi integration, create a Delaware tax-efficient parent, and consolidate public equity structure. Upon completion of mergers, original Bermuda Marvell Technology Group Ltd. became subsidiary of Delaware Marvell Technology, Inc. ✓ March 11, 2021 - DEFM14A

Tax Implications: Delaware incorporation provides U.S. tax domicile status and alignment with majority shareholder base; eliminated Bermuda tax optimization structure (common pre-2015 for multinational semis, but phased out post-Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) reforms). ◐ Marvell Technology Group Ltd announces Closing of $2 Billion Senior Notes

Share Class: Single class of common stock; no dual-class or preference shares (post-2021 simplification). ✓ 10-K FY2026

Historical Restatement & Late-Filing Episodes (Bermuda CIK 0001058057)

Two separate episodes during the Bermuda-CIK era materially affected Marvell’s reporting cadence and the integrity of historically-filed financial statements. Both are now closed; cross-reference legal contingencies for governance / SEC-action detail.

2006–2007: Stock-Option Backdating Restatement

Cause: Internal review (consistent with the broader option-backdating sweep that affected ~140 U.S. issuers in 2006–2008) found measurement-date irregularities in historical stock-option grants.

Cluster of late-filing notices:

10-K/A0001104659-07-0538972007-07-13

Magnitude: Restatement covered multiple historical fiscal years’ consolidated financial statements. Reformation/amendment exhibits to underlying stock-option agreements memorialized revised measurement dates. Specific cumulative pre-tax adjustment amount not re-extracted in this entry; analyst should consult the FY2007 10-K Note 2, “Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements,” for the line-item detail.

Governance implications: SEC settled an enforcement action against co-founder Weili Dai on 2008-05-08 (no admit / no deny; civil penalty). No restatement-era SEC action survives in the FY2026 10-K Item 3 disclosures.

2015–2016: Audit Committee “Pull-In” Revenue-Recognition Restatement

Cause: September 11, 2015 announcement of an independent Audit Committee investigation of “certain accounting and internal control matters in the second quarter of fiscal 2016.” The investigation centered on “pull-in” sales — early shipment of orders ahead of customer-requested delivery dates, sometimes initiated by Marvell rather than the customer. Pull-in revenue rose to ~3% of Q4 FY2015 net revenue and customer concessions related to those transactions were not consistently recorded in the same period as revenue.

Auditor change: PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP resigned as independent registered public accounting firm; Deloitte & Touche LLP was retained as successor.

Filing cluster (non-exhaustive, primary indicators):

FilingAccessionDate FiledNotes
FY2016 10-K0001193125-16-6537782016-07-21Restated prior-period financials; identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as of 2016-01-30
10-K/A (Amendment No. 1)0001193125-16-6781432016-08-10Added Part III (Schedule 14A) information

Magnitude: Restatement encompassed multiple prior-period interim and annual financial statements. Audit Committee mandated discontinuation of pull-in transactions starting in fiscal 2017 (formal corporate policy).

Governance implications:

  • Sehat Sutardja (Co-founder/CEO) and Weili Dai (Co-founder/President) departed management April 2016.
  • Matt Murphy (ex-Maxim) appointed President & CEO July 11, 2016.
  • Starboard Value held ~7% stake during the leadership transition; cooperative engagement (no public proxy fight).
  • Multiple securities class actions and shareholder derivative suits filed post-Sep 11, 2015 disclosure; subsequently settled (no active matters disclosed in FY2026 10-K).
  • Material weaknesses remediated by FY2018; subsequent annual reports issued unqualified ICFR opinions.

Risk implication for current investors: CLOSED — no residual financial-reporting contingency from this episode. The episode is primarily of historical / governance-quality interest (CEO transition catalyst).
