“Marvell regularly engages with our shareholders to understand their perspectives on the company and on our long-term growth strategy, and we welcome all constructive input. We will carefully review any suggestions Starboard or their advisors may have, as we would with any other shareholder.

“As always, Marvell is committed to acting in the best interests of the company and all of our shareholders, and we are focused on continuing to leverage our expertise in semiconductor devices to drive growth across our end markets. We are focused on executing our strategy as our Audit Committee is moving toward completion of the previously disclosed independent investigation of certain accounting and internal control matters and we progress toward regaining compliance with our SEC reporting obligations. The Board of Directors has engaged international executive search firms to conduct searches for additional board members and a permanent Chief Financial Officer. In 2016, we will continue to focus on delivering more great products and solutions to customers and value to shareholders.”
