On October 3, 2016, Marvell Technology Group Ltd. (the
“Company”) announced that David Caron has been appointed Senior Vice President, Chief Accounting Officer and Corporate Controller, effective immediately. He will serve as the Company’s principal accounting officer. For the past five

In connection with his appointment, the Company entered
into a letter agreement with Mr. Caron (the “Offer Letter”) that established his compensation, as summarized below.
Salary; Annual Incentive Bonus; Sign-on Bonus
. Mr. Caron’s annual base salary will be $375,000, and he will be eligible to
participate in the Company’s Performance Rewards Program with a target annual incentive bonus of 50% of his annual base salary. Mr. Caron will be paid a sign-on bonus of $200,000 which is subject to repayment and other conditions in the
event of his resignation within twelve months of his date of employment or his termination for Cause, as further described in the Offer Letter.

common stock, as follows:

|
|
|
2.
|
RSUs for the number of shares of common stock (at the target achievement level) equal to $168,900 shall vest based on the relative total shareholder return of Marvell’s stock as compared to the total shareholder
return of comparable companies of the Philadelphia Semiconductor Sector Index over a three-year performance period measured from August 11, 2016 through fiscal 2019, as further described in the Offer Letter.
|
|
|
3.
|
RSUs for the number of shares of common stock equal to $168,900 shall vest based on the achievement of operating performance metrics for fiscal years 2017 and 2018, as further described in the Offer Letter.
