Marvell Technology Group Ltd.宣布完成 20 亿美元优先债券的发行

Santa Clara, California, April 12, 2021 – Marvell Technology Group Ltd. (NASDAQ: MRVL) (“Marvell”) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Marvell Technology, Inc. (“MTI”), has closed its previously announced offering of: (i) $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 1.650% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), (ii) $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.450% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) and (iii) $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.950% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes” and, together with the 2026 Notes and the 2028 Notes, the “Notes,” and such offering, the “Notes Offering”). The Notes were sold pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to purchasers in the United States and pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act to purchasers outside of the United States.

The Notes Offering was conducted in connection with the previously announced proposed acquisition of Inphi Corporation (“Inphi”), which is currently expected to close in April 2021, pending approval by Inphi’s stockholders and Marvell’s shareholders, as well as satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated October 29, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Marvell, MTI, Maui Acquisition Company Ltd, a Bermuda exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of MTI (“Bermuda Merger Sub”), Indigo Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of MTI (“Delaware Merger Sub”), and Inphi, a Delaware corporation, (i) Bermuda Merger Sub will be merged with and into Marvell (the “Bermuda Merger”), with Marvell continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of MTI; and (ii) Delaware Merger Sub will be merged with and into Inphi (the “Delaware Merger” and, together with the Bermuda Merger, the “Mergers”), with Inphi continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of MTI. The net proceeds from the Notes Offering are estimated to be approximately $1.98 billion. MTI intends to use the net proceeds of the Notes Offering to fund a portion of the aggregate cash portion of the merger consideration payable to Inphi stockholders in connection with the Mergers and to pay related fees and expenses. MTI expects to use any remaining net proceeds from the Notes Offering for general corporate purposes. If (i) the Mergers have not been consummated on or prior to June 29, 2021 (or such later date as the parties may designate in accordance with the Merger Agreement, up to March 1, 2022) or (ii) prior to such date, MTI notifies the trustee that MTI and Marvell will not pursue the consummation of the Mergers, then MTI will be required to redeem each series of the Notes then outstanding at a special mandatory redemption price.

The Notes will accrue interest payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2021. The 2026 Notes will accrue interest at a rate of 1.650% per year, the 2028 Notes will accrue interest at a rate of 2.450% per year and the 2031 Notes will accrue interest at a rate of 2.950% per year. The 2026 Notes will mature on April 15, 2026, the 2028 Notes will mature on April 15, 2028 and the 2031 Notes will mature on April 15, 2031.

MTI may redeem the 2026 Notes, the 2028 Notes or the 2031 Notes at its option at any time in whole or from time to time in part prior to March 15, 2026 (the “2026 Par Call Date”), in the case of the 2026 Notes, February 15, 2028 (the “2028 Par Call Date”), in the case of the 2028 Notes, and January 15, 2031 (the “2031 Par Call Date”), in the case of the 2031 Notes, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of such Notes, plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

MTI may redeem the 2026 Notes, the 2028 Notes or the 2031 Notes at its option at any time in whole or from time to time in part on or after the 2026 Par Call Date, in the case of the 2026 Notes, the 2028 Par Call Date, in the case of the 2028 Notes, and the 2031 Par Call Date, in the case of the 2031 Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Notes being redeemed, plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any offer or sale of, the Notes in any jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation or sale of the Notes would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification thereof under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
