Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

The information in this Item 2.02 of this Current Report, including the accompanying exhibit, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of Section 18. The information in this Item 2.02 of this Current Report shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language contained in such filing.

Marvell issued a press release on June 9, 2009, which is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein. As noted below, Marvell Technology Group Ltd. (“Marvell”) entered into an agreement to resolve a shareholder class action lawsuit filed on August 16, 2007 against Marvell and certain of its former and current officers and directors relating to Marvell’s historic stock option granting practices. The settlement provides for a payment by Marvell to the class of $72 million. As stated below, the settlement is subject to Court approval.

The agreement was entered into after the first quarter of fiscal 2010, ended May 2, 2009. However, since the litigation existed during the first quarter of fiscal 2010, results for the first quarter have been updated from what was previously reported on May 28, 2009 to adjust for this settlement. The impact of the settlement, recorded as general and administrative expense, changes the GAAP net loss to $111.5 million, or $0.18 per share (diluted), which is a decrease of $0.12 per share (diluted) compared to what was previously reported. Marvell does not typically include one-time litigation settlements when it reports its non-GAAP results, and as a result this expense will not impact Marvell’s non-GAAP results of operations previously reported.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On June 9, 2009, Marvell entered into an agreement to resolve a shareholder class action lawsuit filed on August 16, 2007 against Marvell and certain of its former and current officers and directors relating to Marvell’s historic stock option granting practices. The settlement provides for a payment by Marvell to the class of $72 million. This class action settlement is subject to preliminary and then, following notice to class members, final approval by the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. Final approval of this settlement and the settlement of the shareholder derivative lawsuit announced previously would mark the end of all shareholder litigation involving Marvell related to its historic stock option granting practices.
