    ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

  2. Nominees

    Nominees Our Bylaws provide that our Board shall consist of not fewer than two (2) nor more than fifteen (15) directors, the exact number is currently set at eleven and there are currently eleven members serving on our Board. After discussing with each director their interest in continuing to serve as a director of the Company, the nominating and governance committee of the Board (the “N&G Committee”) has recommended, and our Board has nominated, all eleven current members of our Board to stand for election at the Annual Meeting. Our director nominees for the 2024 Annual Meeting are Sara Andrews, Tudor Brown, Brad Buss, Daniel Durn, Rebecca House, Marachel Knight, Matthew J. Murphy, Michael Strachan, Robert E. Switz, Ford Tamer, and Richard Wallace. All of our director nominees are currently directors who were last elected by stockholders at the 2023 Annual Meeting except for Messrs. Durn and Wallace. Messrs. Richard Wallace and Daniel Durn were each appointed to the Board in April 2024 upon the recommended of the N&G Committee. All nominees elected as directors will serve until the 2025 Annual Meeting and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified or their earlier resignation or removal. In the event any new nominees are appointed as directors after this Annual Meeting, they will be required to stand for election at the next Annual Meeting and each Annual Meeting thereafter, if nominated to do so. As part of our goal of building a diverse board, the N&G Committee actively seeks out highly qualified diverse candidates to add to the Board. Biographical information for each of the nominees may be found immediately following this proposal. We have been advised that each of our nominees is willing to be named as such herein and each of the nominees is willing to serve as a director if elected. However, if one or more of the director nominees should be unable or, for good cause, unwilling to serve as a director, the proxy holders may vote for a substitute nominee recommended by the N&G Committee and approved by our Board, or the Board may reduce its size.

  3. Board Recommendation and Required Vote

    Board Recommendation and Required Vote Our Board recommends that you vote FOR each director nominee identified above. Unless authority to do so is withheld, the proxy holders named in the proxy card will vote the shares represented thereby FOR the election of each such nominee. Assuming the presence of a quorum, our Bylaws require that, in an uncontested election (such as the Annual Meeting), a director nominee will be elected only if he or she receives a majority of the votes cast with respect to his or her election (that is, the number of votes cast “for” that nominee exceeds the number of votes cast “against” that nominee) at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome.

    * Chairman of the Board fees were replaced by Lead Independent Director Fees in June 2023 effective as of Mr. Murphy’s appointment as Chairman of the Board and the appointment of a Lead Independent Director. Chairman of the Board fees were $135,000 per year and ceased as of the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders. Lead Independent Director fees commenced as of the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders. The retainer fees are paid in quarterly installments in arrears and are prorated for length of service as appropriate. Nonemployee directors serving on a committee receive either the applicable chairmanship fee or the membership fee, but not both. Nonemployee directors are reimbursed for travel and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to attendance at Board and committee meetings. For a summary of the fiscal 2024 cash compensation paid to our nonemployee directors, please see the Director Compensation Table below. Equity Compensation Our nonemployee directors are eligible to receive equity awards under the Amended and Restated 1995 Stock Option Plan (the “1995 Stock Option Plan”), which provides for the grant of various types of equity awards including restricted stock units (“RSUs”). Currently, each nonemployee director who is elected or appointed at the Annual Meeting is automatically granted, immediately following the Annual Meeting, a RSU award (the “Annual RSU Award”) for a number of shares with an aggregate fair market value equal to $235,000 based on the average closing market price of our stock over the prior 30 trading days. The Annual RSU Award vests as to 100% of the shares on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the date of grant or the next Annual Meeting. If a Board member joins the Board on a date after the Annual Meeting, the Annual RSU Award is pro-rated based on the Board member’s length of service from joining the Board until the date of the next Annual Meeting.

Hill and Frank did not stand for election at the 2023 Annual Meeting. They received pro-rata fees for their respective service as a director during fiscal 2024 but did not receive an annual grant on the day of the 2023 Annual Meeting.

  41. Determining Compensation for Our Named Executive Officers

    The Role of Management One key objective of our executive compensation program is to align the program with stockholders’ interests and our business strategy. To gain insight on day-to-day operations and what rewards and incentives would be most effective to achieve this alignment, the ECC may receive input from the Company’s senior management. During the fiscal year, the ECC also consulted with senior members of the Company’s human resources and legal departments when formulating compensation plans, and members of those groups attended the ECC meetings. While the ECC seeks the input of management in its compensation deliberations, the ECC regularly meets in executive session without any members of management present, and no executive officer participates in the ECC’s deliberations addressing the amount of his or her own individual compensation (although the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Administration Officer participated in discussions regarding the overall design and targets of our compensation programs). The Role of the Chief Executive Officer Mr. Murphy meets with the ECC at its request and makes compensation recommendations for the senior executives who report to him but does not make a recommendation with respect to his own compensation. The senior executives are not present at the time such recommendations are discussed. Mr. Murphy’s recommendations are based in part upon the compensation information gathered by the ECC’s compensation consultant and the Company’s human resources professionals. Mr. Murphy shares with the ECC his evaluation of each senior executive’s performance and contributions. The ECC considers each senior executive’s scope of responsibilities and experience, and balances these against competitive compensation levels, including retention requirements and succession potential. The Role of Peer Groups and Benchmarking — Market Analysis The ECC considers relevant market pay practices when setting executive compensation. In September 2022 (fiscal 2023), Compensia recommended, and the ECC approved, the compensation peer group for fiscal 2024, which was unchanged from the peer group selected in for fiscal 2023. In selecting peer companies, the following criteria were used to identify a group of industry and labor market competitors, including: ▪ Ownership/Industry: Independent, publicly-traded, U.S.-based, semiconductor industry companies (fabless, to the extent available); secondary industry sectors include software, hardware and communications ▪ Revenue: ~0.5x – 4x of Marvell ▪ Market Capitalization: 0.25 – 4x of Marvell ▪ Refinement Considerations: revenue growth, profitability and competition for employees Ideally, the Company would be positioned near the median for both revenue and market capitalization; however, this has been challenging due to the limited number of similarly sized semiconductor industry companies and the Company’s high market capitalization to revenue multiple (i.e., the Company is positioned below median on revenue and above median on market cap). In particular, several of the most important semiconductor competitors for relevant talent are substantially larger companies.

    Relative to this peer group at the time of approval in September 2022, the Company ranked at approximately the 32nd percentile on a last four quarters revenue basis (31st percentile based on next 4 quarter analyst estimates), 94th percentile on a one-year revenue growth basis and at the 46th percentile on market capitalization. The ECC reviews the practices of members of the peer group to better understand and assess the competitiveness of the compensation that the Company pays to its executives, both with respect to each compensation element and the overall compensation package. The ECC uses this information in its determinations and assessments but does not determine compensation by benchmarking to the peer group. At the beginning of fiscal 2024, the ECC reviewed our executive compensation program, both in the context of our pay-for-performance philosophy and from a market perspective and set the total direct compensation for our named executive officers for fiscal 2024 taking into account individual performance, experience, criticality and retention for each executive.

    Annual Incentive Plan (AIP) Target Cash Incentive Opportunities At the beginning of fiscal 2024, the ECC reviewed the design of the AIP, including a review of the target cash incentive opportunities established for each of the roles and a comparison of those percentages to the percentage target opportunity for similar roles at applicable peer companies. Based on this review, and in recognition of promotions, the ECC approved increases in the target cash incentive opportunities (expressed as a percentage of base salary) for Willem Meintjes and Mark Casper for 2024. No other changes were made to the target Total Annual Cash Incentive percentage for the named executive officers.

    reality of the Company’s operations. The non-GAAP performance metrics used for the AIP above, or for any performance-based equity grants, are determined by the ECC (in its sole discretion). If the Company fails to achieve the threshold level, as set forth in the table below, for any of the above Company performance goals, no payout is awarded for that goal. The ECC determined that the combined application of all the metrics would make achievement difficult to meet at target and very difficult to meet at maximum performance levels. Fiscal 2024 AIP Design — Individual Performance Goals The ECC determined that it is desirable to provide for some limited variation in incentive compensation based on individual performance for some of the executive officers. For the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, 100% of the payouts under the AIP are based solely on the Company performance goals described above. Payouts under the AIP for the other named executive officers are based 80% on the Company performance goals described above and 20% on individual performance goals that are established at the beginning of the year, provided, that overachievement on the aggregate bonus payout is not permitted unless the achievement of the Company’s performance goals is 100% or more. The individual performance goals were approved by the Chief Executive Officer. The Company has omitted disclosure of the individual performance goals because disclosing this information would result in competitive harm to the Company. Actual Performance Against Goals The following tables present the fiscal 2024 AIP Company performance goals established by the ECC for the first half and second half of fiscal 2024 at threshold, target, high and maximum performance levels, and the actual fiscal 2024 performance for each of these metrics, each of which was tied to the annual operating plan approved by the Board. These measures were below the levels set by the ECC in fiscal 2023 to better reflect changes in the semiconductor industry outlook for fiscal 2024 and to better align the goals with the Company’s internal financial projections.

    Equity Awards Fiscal 2024 Equity Grants To reinforce the importance of long-term value creation and alignment with shareholders in our overall compensation strategy, beginning in fiscal 2023 we increased the percentage of annual equity value granted in the form of performance-based awards from 60% to 70% for the CEO and from 55% to 60% for other executive officers. Similar to past years, to determine individual equity award amounts, the ECC considered each named executive officer’s total direct compensation against that of similarly situated executives at the companies in our peer group, current performance and projected future contributions, as well as the retention value of his or her outstanding unvested equity from previously granted awards. The ECC approved grants to the named executive officers for fiscal 2024, which were comprised of time-based RSUs and TSR RSUs as part of the annual award process. In addition, Messrs. Murphy, Hussain and Koopmans were granted Special Performance-Based Equity Grants which are described in more detail below. The grant date fair value of all stock awards is provided in the Summary Compensation Table and the number of shares per equity vehicle at target are shown in the tables below. The total value of shares at target in connection with the annual stock awards was increased slightly over the total value of the shares at target last fiscal year after review of the peer data, the performance of the executive, and any retention related concerns.

    * Target is based solely on the TSR component of the grants. April 2023 RSU Grants Vesting Terms. Subject to continued service with the Company, the RSUs will vest in equal quarterly installments over three years from the grant date. April 2023 TSR RSU Grants Performance and Vesting Terms. Fiscal 2024 TSR RSUs vest based on our TSR performance relative to the S&P 500 Index over the performance period measured from April 15, 2023 to April 5, 2026, up to a maximum 200% of the target grant amount. In addition, the amount vesting may be increased by up to 150% based on the Non-GAAP EPS compound annual growth rate (“Non-GAAP EPS CAGR”) for the Company measured against the Non-GAAP EPS CAGR for the companies in the peer group (as such peer group is discussed previously under The Role of Peer Groups and Benchmarking — Market Analysis) (“EPS Multiplier”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum payout of the product of (x) the relative total stockholder payout, multiplied by (y) the EPS Multiplier will not exceed 250% of the target grant amount. If the performance targets are met including the Non-GAAP EPS CAGR, the earned shares will all vest on April 15, 2026 (3 years from the date of grant), subject to continued service with the Company through such date. Annual Performance Grants Design Considerations. The S&P 500 Index was chosen as its results are more stable year over year because it is not significantly impacted by the merger or acquisition of any particular semiconductor company or member of our peer group. In fiscal 2023, the Company added the Non-GAAP EPS CAGR metric to the performance-based equity awards in response to shareholder feedback that investors prefer that performance grants use more than one performance metric. The relative TSR and the Non-GAAP EPS CAGR metrics were chosen by the ECC to align the executives long term interests with those of our shareholders and to avoid redundancy with the metrics used under the AIP. The performance-based metrics are both long term metrics and use at least a minimum 3-year vesting period. For the TSR component: there will be a straight-line interpolation of the payout percentages for TSR between each of the payout levels, rounded up to the nearest whole share. No shares are earned if TSR is more than 33 percentage points below the Index.

    Fiscal Year 2024 Special Performance-Based Equity Grants Our typical equity awards to our executive team are comprised of a mix of time-based RSU and TSR-performance based RSU (TSR RSU) equity awards. After evaluating the value of the unvested equity of our executive team, the Company determined it was important to increase the equity hold by creating and granting a special one-time additional equity grant in fiscal year 2024 to the CEO and two other executives. These awards were specifically designed to promote long-term retention, ensure alignment with stockholder interests, and to reinforce long-term stockholder value creation. Prior to granting these awards, members of our senior management and our Chairman of the ECC reached out to our largest investors collectively owning approximately 40% of our outstanding stock to discuss our executive compensation program. The feedback from these calls was used in the design of our fiscal 2024 Special Performance-Based Equity Awards. Specifically, as a result of these calls, the Special Performance-Based Equity Grant was limited to a small number of executives, was structured as 100% performance-based and earned based on two performance metrics: stock price hurdles and total shareholder return relative to the S&P 500 Index, with multiple and increasingly difficult to achieve targets. On the date of approval of this award the closing market price of our stock was slightly below $40.00. The lowest price target represented an approximately 50% increase in stock price and the highest target represented an approximately 200% increase in stock price. In addition, to promote long-term retention, vesting of shares would occur over a five year period, with no shares eligible to vest until at least 3 years from the grant date, regardless of whether any goals were satisfied prior to such time. In addition, at least half of the shares earned from the achievement of a performance target will not vest until the fifth anniversary of the date of grant. Consistent with the goal of this being a one-time award to these executives, no similar awards were granted in fiscal 2025 to them nor any other executive officer. As a result of this additional award, the overall percentage of performance-based compensation and performance-based equity for these executive officers was higher in fiscal year 2024 than in prior years and higher than our equity target mix described above. Individual award levels and terms are outlined below:

  53. Executive Compensation Program for Fiscal 2024

    Once the number of achieved RSUs of a tranche have been determined and certified, those achieved RSUs will generally vest in accordance with the following schedule: ▪ 50% of the achieved RSUs will vest on the later of (i) the 3-year anniversary of the grant date or (ii) the 15th day of the month after the performance achievement date, subject to the executive remaining employed at the Company on such date; and ▪ The remaining 50% of achieved RSUs will vest on the 5-year anniversary of the grant date (i.e., the last day of the performance period), subject to the executive remaining employed at the Company on such date. On August 14, 2023, the $60 price target was achieved. As a result, unless accelerated pursuant to the below terms, the shares allocated to that price target tranche will vest 50% on the 3-year anniversary of the grant date (April 2026) and 50% on the 5-year anniversary of the grant date (April 2028), subject in each case to the executive’s continuous employment at the Company through such dates.

    Vesting of the Special Performance-Based Equity Grants may be accelerated under the following circumstances: ▪ Termination of Employment. If the executive’s employment is terminated (i) by the Company other than for cause, (ii) by the executive for good reason, (iii) as a result of the executive’s death, or (iv) by the Company as a result of the executive’s disability, then (A) the RSUs in the tranche(s) for which performance achievement has not been achieved (i.e., the unearned RSUs) shall be forfeited, and (B) 100% of the achieved RSUs which have not yet vested, shall vest immediately on the termination date. ▪ Change in Control Acceleration Provisions: Minimum RSUs. Provided the executive remains employed until the transaction closing date, if the transaction closing price is less than the $80 price target, the price target for the full number of RSUs at the $60 price target tranche and the $80 price target tranche (minus any prior achieved RSUs (in this case the $60 price target has been achieved) or vested RSUs for such tranches) shall be deemed achieved (the “Minimum CIC RSUs”). The Minimum CIC RSUs are not subject to the Total Stockholder Return adjustment described above. Additional RSUs for Partial Achievement. If the closing price is between the $80 and $100 price target tranches or between the $100 and $120 price target tranches, the executive will receive additional RSUs (the “Additional RSUs”) for this partial achievement. The base number of Additional RSUs shall be calculated using a straight-line interpolation using the closing price between the highest Achieved price target tranche and the next price target tranche, which shall be expressed as a percentage achievement. The percentage achievement shall then be multiplied by the number of RSUs in the next price target tranche to determine the number of Additional RSUs that are deemed achieved which number of RSUs shall then be modified per the terms of the Total Stockholder Return adjustment. Vesting. The Additional RSUs, Minimum CIC RSUs and any other achieved RSUs determined prior to the beginning of the interim change in control period that have not yet vested as of the change in control closing will vest in accordance with the following vesting schedule: i. 50% shall vest at on the closing date provided the executive is still employed by the Company; and ii. The remaining 50% shall vest in equal quarterly installments on the 15th of the month starting the month after the change in control closing and ending on the 5-year anniversary of the grant date provided the executive is still employed by the Company on each such vesting date. Settlement of Prior Performance Based Awards in Fiscal 2024 Measurement and Settlement in Fiscal 2024 of TSR RSUs Granted in Fiscal 2021 The fiscal 2021 TSR RSU awards were based on the achievement of performance objectives relating to the relative TSR of our common shares as compared to the TSR of the companies in the S&P 500 Index over the performance period measured from April 15, 2020 to April 5, 2023. There was a straight-line interpolation of the payout percentages for TSR between each of the payout levels (for example between Minimum and Target performance), rounded up to the nearest whole share. The rounded payout is one share in the event that performance achievement equals — 32.99% relative TSR.

    * Mr. Casper was not employed by the Company on the date of grant. ** Mr. Meintjes had not yet been promoted to Chief Financial Officer. Share Repurchases Considerations Historically, the Company has granted TSR RSUs that are earned and vest based on the relative TSR of the Company compared to an appropriate index (TSR RSUs), performance-based RSUs that are earned and vest based on metrics related to the Company’s financial statements (Financial Performance Metric RSUs), performance-based RSUs that are earned and vest in whole or in part based on the achievement of a specific stock price, and awards that vest partially based on TSR and partial based on Non-GAAP EPS CAGR. When granting performance-based awards that vest based on relative TSR, EPS or on the Company’s stock price, the ECC takes into account the potential impact that share repurchases may have on the awards.

    Other Factors Considered in Determining Executive Compensation Employment Agreements See the section in this proxy statement entitled “Employment Contracts, Severance Agreements and Change-in-Control Arrangements” for additional information on the terms of employment, severance and change in control agreements the ECC has approved with respect to the named executive officers. In 2016, the ECC approved entering into a severance agreement with Mr. Murphy concurrently with his commencement of employment, given the recent Board and management changes at the Company at that time. The Company does not have severance agreements in effect with the other named executive officers. The ECC annually reviews market and peer group severance and change in control agreement trends and practices, as well as the Company’s severance and change in control agreements and policies. Change in Control Severance Plan (“CIC Plan”) In June 2016, the ECC recommended, and the Company’s Board adopted, the CIC Plan, the purpose of which is to provide specified payments and benefits to certain employees of the Company whose employment is subject to being either involuntarily terminated or voluntarily terminated for Good Reason under the circumstances described in the CIC Plan. The ECC has made several changes to that plan as part of its periodic reviews of market practices and trends. All capitalized terms are as defined in the CIC Plan. A copy of the CIC Plan can be found at Exhibit 10.15 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 13, 2024. The ECC designed the CIC Plan to protect key employees involved in certain transactions in order to facilitate a clear focus on what is best for stockholders by making the executives neutral to a potential transaction. The protections offered by tier were developed in consideration of market practice and trends, and the Company executives were slotted into tiers based on the ongoing executive team structure. Benefits are only payable upon the occurrence of an Involuntary Termination of employment during the period beginning on the signing of a definitive agreement to sell the Company and ending on the date that is 24 months following the Change in Control (i.e., double trigger). The ECC has designated the following named executive officers as participants in the CIC Plan at the levels set forth following their names: Matthew J. Murphy (Tier 1); Raghib Hussain (Tier 2); Willem Meintjes (Tier 2); Chris Koopmans (Tier 2); Sandeep Bharathi (Tier 2), and Mark Casper (Tier 2). Benefits payable with respect to the various tiers may be found in the section of this proxy statement entitled “Employment Contracts, Severance Agreements and Change-in-Control Arrangements.”

  59. Other Factors Considered in Determining Executive Compensation

    Equity Grant Practices Policy Our Board has adopted a policy with respect to our equity grant practices. Our current policy covers, among other things, the following: ▪ The ECC, or a subcommittee thereof, has the authority to approve equity award grants to employees, provided that only the ECC (and not a subcommittee thereof) may approve equity award grants to our executive officers. ▪ Equity award grants to newly hired employees are made monthly during regularly scheduled ECC or subcommittee meetings. An equity award proposal is generally prepared for consideration by the 15th day of the month following the month of the new employee’s date of hire and granted using the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 30 days prior to the grant date. These awards may only be granted by the ECC or a subcommittee of the ECC and are typically based upon a set of guidelines established by the human resources department and reviewed by the ECC on the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer. ▪ Annual equity award grants to employees are generally made after the annual performance review process is completed and are generally scheduled to be made on the 15th of April. ▪ The Company discontinued granting stock options during 2016 (other than in certain cases in connection with the conversion of options in a merger or other acquisition (“M&A”) transaction) and has granted RSUs in lieu thereof. If the Company should grant stock options (other than in connection with an M&A transaction), such grants will not be made during any period of time commencing with the last day of a fiscal quarter and ending with the first full trading day following our earnings release for such quarter. If stock option awards have not been granted by the last Friday of the fiscal month of April, then option awards are to be granted during an “open window.” This restriction does not apply to RSUs or other types of equity awards that do not include an exercise price related to the market price of our securities on the date of grant. Other than with respect to annual equity award grants or as otherwise approved by the ECC, any equity award grants to executive officers must be made during an “open window.” All stock option grants must have an exercise price per share no less than the per share fair market value of our shares of common stock on the date of grant, as determined under the appropriate U.S. financial accounting rules and the applicable rules and regulations under the U.S. securities laws. Policy Concerning Recoupment of Executive Officer Incentives Following Restatement In fiscal 2024, we amended our Clawback Policy to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5608 and Exchange Act Rule 10D-1 and as result we increased the scope of the compensation subject to the clawback to include certain types of performance-based equity grants. Under the amended policy, in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement of its reported financial results due to the Company’s material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the United States securities laws, the Company will require its current and former executive officers to reimburse all or any portion of the Incentive Compensation (defined below) earned by or paid to such executive officers for the period of such restatement (but in no event to exceed the three (3) fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement) that would not have otherwise been paid or earned based upon the restated financial results. “Incentive Compensation” generally means any compensation granted, earned or vested based in whole or in part on the Company’s attainment of any Financial Reporting Measure. “Financial Reporting Measure” means a measure that is determined and presented in accordance with the accounting principles used in preparing the Company’s financial statements, and any measure derived wholly or in part from such financial information (including, but not limited to, non-GAAP financial measures). For the avoidance of doubt, Financial Reporting Measures shall include any measure based in whole or in part on the Company’s stock price or total shareholder return. Any right of recoupment under the Clawback Policy is in addition to, and is not in lieu of, any actions imposed by law enforcement agencies, regulators including the Securities and Exchange Commission, Nasdaq, or other authorities. Stock Ownership Guidelines for Executive Officers Our Board has established equity ownership guidelines for our executive officers designed to encourage long-term stock ownership and more closely link their interests with those of our other stockholders. These guidelines provide that the executive officers should have shares of common stock equal in value to (i) six times the annual base salary for the Chief Executive Officer, and (ii) three times their respective annual base salary for the other executive officers. Executive officers have five years to satisfy the guidelines from June 24, 2020, or the date such person is designated as being subject to the guidelines, whichever is later. The Board reviews progress against these guidelines annually and updates them as appropriate. The Board or the N&G Committee may discuss with the executive the reasons for a shortfall if it occurs more than five years after an executive officer becomes subject to the guidelines and more than three years after a promotion increases the guidelines expectation. While below the applicable guidelines, at any time, there is a minimum holding expectation for 50% of the net after tax shares following vesting of RSUs and performance-based RSUs, including TSR RSUs, until the applicable guideline is met. The 50% holding expectation also applies if an executive officer is short of the guideline following a promotion, change in base salary, or guideline policy change. All of our executive officers met, or were on target to meet, within the required timeframe, the ownership guidelines as of our fiscal year-end. We do not count unvested performance-based equity or unexercised options when determining if the guidelines have been satisfied. Insider Trading/Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policies All employees, officers, and directors of, and consultants and contractors to, us or any of our subsidiaries are subject to our Insider Trading Prohibition Policy and Guidelines. The policy prohibits the unauthorized disclosure of any nonpublic information acquired in the workplace and the misuse of material nonpublic information in securities trading. The policy also includes specific anti-hedging provisions.

  60. Other Factors Considered in Determining Executive Compensation

    To ensure compliance with the policy and applicable federal and state securities laws, it is our policy that all individuals subject to the policy must refrain from the purchase or sale of our securities except in designated trading windows or pursuant to preapproved Exchange Act Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. Even during a trading window period, certain identified insiders, which include the named executive officers and directors, must comply with our designated pre-clearance policy prior to trading in our securities. All members of the Board, all employees (including executive officers) of, and consultants and contractors to, the Company (collectively, “Insiders”) are prohibited from engaging in “short sales” of our securities or in trading “derivative securities” tied to our securities. We define a “derivative security” generally to be any security, the value of which is dependent to some degree on another security. Examples of the most common types of derivative securities include “warrants,” “puts” and “calls.” Stock options or other securities issued pursuant to Company benefit plans or other compensatory arrangements with the Company are not subject to this prohibition. Insiders are also prohibited from purchasing any other financial instruments (including, but not limited to, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, and collars), or engaging in transactions, that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of our stock. Insiders are permitted to invest in publicly offered funds that hold our stock, including mutual funds and exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), that are actively managed by an independent fund manager. Insiders are prohibited from investing in exchange funds also known as swap funds. An “exchange fund” allows an investor to “exchange” an individual stock, such as our stock, for shares in a fund of many pooled stocks. In addition, Insiders are prohibited from buying or selling interests in funds containing our securities on the basis of material nonpublic information about us. Our executive officers and certain other insiders are prohibited from holding Marvell securities in a margin account or pledging Marvell securities as collateral for a loan. Tax Considerations Under Section 162(m) of the IRC, the Company may not take a tax deduction for any compensation paid to its executive officers who are subject to Section 162(m) in excess of $1,000,000. Our ECC may consider the deductibility of compensation when making decisions but may authorize the payment of compensation that is not deductible when it believes it to be appropriate and in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. Accounting Considerations We are required to estimate and record an expense for each equity award over its vesting period. The ECC reviews the effect of the compensation expense under FASB ASC Topic 718 for equity compensation to the named executive officers.

  62. Chief Executive Officer Pay Ratio

    Chief Executive Officer Pay Ratio Pursuant to Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are required to disclose the ratio of the annual total compensation of our principal executive officer to the annual total compensation of our median employee. During fiscal 2024, the principal executive officer of the Company was our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Matthew J. Murphy. For fiscal 2024, Mr. Murphy’s annual total compensation, as disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table, was $45,163,040 and our median employee’s annual total compensation was $184,313, resulting in a pay ratio of approximately 245 to 1. For fiscal 2024, Mr. Murphy’s annual total compensation, excluding the Special Performance-Based Equity Grant, was $23,329,844 and our median employee’s annual total compensation was $184,313, resulting in a pay ratio of approximately 127 to 1. In accordance with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K we identified the median employee as of December 30, 2023 by (i) aggregating for each applicable employee (A) annual base salary for salaried employees (or hourly rate multiplied by the estimated annual work schedule, for hourly employees), (B) the target incentive compensation, and (C) the estimated grant date fair value for employee equity awards granted in the fiscal year and ranking this compensation measure for our employees from lowest to highest. Amounts paid in foreign currencies were converted into U.S. Dollars using the average annual exchange rate as of the determination date, and we annualized the compensation of permanent employees that worked for less than the full year. This calculation was performed for all employees of the Company as of December 30, 2023, excluding Mr. Murphy. The pay ratio reported above is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our internal records and the methodology described above. The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. Therefore, the pay ratio reported

  64. Chief Executive Officer Pay Ratio

    by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies have different employee populations and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates, and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

  65. Potential Payments on Termination or Change in Control

    Potential Payments on Termination or Change in Control The following table shows the potential payments upon termination of employment or a change in control for the named executive officers. The terms of the CIC Plan applicable to each executive and the terms of any severance agreements, if any, are set forth above in the section entitled “Employment Contracts, Severance Agreements and Change-in-Control Arrangements.” The table assumes that (i) the triggering event took place on February 3, 2024, the last business day of fiscal 2024; (ii) the value of RSU acceleration is computed by multiplying the market price of our common stock on the last trading day of fiscal 2024, which was February 2, 2024 ($67.53), by the number of unvested restricted stock units that are subject to acceleration; and (iii) the pro-rata cash incentive was earned at target for each individual. Amounts actually received if any of our named executive officers cease to be employed will vary based on factors such as the timing during the year of any such event, the Company’s stock price, the named executive officer’s age, performance under the terms of applicable performance-based awards, and any changes to our benefit arrangements and policies.

    If the termination is in connection with a Change in Control, the terms of the CIC Plan apply, and no payments are due under any of the severance agreements described above. (2) The following assumptions were made in connection with the stock payouts: The performance grants were calculated at the tracking % as of 02/02/2024: fiscal 2022 TSR at 93.3%, fiscal 2023 TSR granted on April 15, 2023 at 24.7%, fiscal 2023 TSR granted on December 15, 2022 and January 15, 2023 at 121.8% and the fiscal 2024 TSR at 168.2%. Termination Due to Death or Disability. Each executive’s estate or designated beneficiary would be eligible to receive a life insurance payment upon death. This life insurance benefit is provided to all salaried employees at the rate of two-and-a-half times annual base salary (rounded to the higher multiple of $1,000) or $1,000,000, whichever is less. In addition, pursuant to the Equity Award Death and Disability Acceleration Policy adopted in February 2018 and applicable to all persons who hold equity under the 1995 Stock Option Plan, upon the death or “disability” (disability shall mean that the holder of the equity award (i) has been unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months or (ii) is determined to be totally disabled by the Social Security Administration) of the holder of an equity award, the vesting of the equity award will be accelerated as follows: ▪ for any equity award subject only to time-based vesting, 100% of the shares subject to the equity award; ▪ for any equity award subject to performance-based vesting where the performance period has been completed, 100% of the shares subject to the portion of the equity award that has become eligible to vest based on actual performance for the performance period; and ▪ for any equity award subject to performance-based vesting where the performance period has not been completed, 100% of the shares subject to the portion of the equity award that would become eligible to vest based on performance at 100% of target levels for the performance period.

    In the above table, Mr. Murphy is the PEO for fiscal years 2021-2024. The non-PEO named executive officers reflect the following individuals in each year: 2021: Raghib Hussain, Jean Hu, Mitchell Gaynor, and Dan Christman. 2022: Raghib Hussain, Jean Hu, Mitchell Gaynor, and Dan Christman. 2023: Raghib Hussain, Willem Meintjes and Jean Hu (each serving as CFO for part of the fiscal year), Chris Koopmans and Dan Christman. 2024: Raghib Hussain, Willem Meintjes, Chris Koopmans, Sandeep Bharathi, and Mark Casper. The peer group used in column (g) above is the PHLX Semiconductor Index. The dollar amounts reported in column (h) above represent the amount of net income reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable year. Compensation Actually Paid (CAP) illustrated in the table above is calculated by making the adjustments from the Summary Compensation Table (SCT) totals as set forth in the tables immediately below. Equity values are calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718.

    Given a significant amount of the values for Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and the Other NEOs are based on our stock price as of a particular date in time, and specifically under the SEC rules, required to be the last day of the listed fiscal year, it is important to note that the values could have been dramatically different if other dates were chosen. Accordingly, the values in the columns for Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and the Other NEOs could have been significantly less if other dates were chosen or if our stock price happened to be lower on the last day of the listed fiscal year.
