Santa Clara, Ca. (July 10, 2007) — With yesterday’s filing of its delayed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 28, 2007, Marvell (NASDAQ: MRVL), the leader in storage, communications, and consumer silicon solutions, completed the process of filing its delayed reports with the SEC. The company is now current with its filings, which also are required by the NASDAQ Stock Market for continued listing of Marvell’s shares.

The company announced the resignation of interim Chief Financial Officer Michael Tate, upon the completion of the lengthy and complex task of completing the delayed filings. Mr. Tate, who also served as Vice President, Corporate Controller, and Treasurer, had agreed earlier this year to remain with the company as its interim CFO to see it through a difficult period. He had spent more than six years as an executive with the company since joining as part of Marvell’s acquisition of Galileo Technology Ltd. in January 2001. His resignation is effective July 13th.

“We appreciate Mike’s hard work during this very difficult time,” said Dr. Sehat Sutardja, Marvell’s CEO. “He enabled us to complete the filing of our delayed reports, to the benefit of shareholders, customers and employees alike. We wish him the best in his next endeavor.”

The company is continuing to conduct an aggressive search for a permanent CFO to replace Mr. Tate.
