Not applicable.

Not applicable.

 

Item 6.           Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Set forth below is a description of certain provisions of the Companies Act of 1981 of Bermuda (the “Companies Act”), the Registrant’s Memorandum of Association, as presently in effect (the “Memorandum of Association”), and the Registrant’s Bye-laws (the “Bye-laws”), as such provisions relate to the indemnification of the directors and officers of the Registrant.  This description is intended only as a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable provisions of the Companies Act, the Memorandum of Association and the Bye-laws, which are incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Companies Act permits the Registrant to indemnify its directors or officers in their capacity as such in respect of any loss arising or liability attaching to them by virtue of any rule of law in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which a director or officer may be guilty in relation to the Registrant other than in respect of his own fraud or dishonesty.

 

The Bye-laws provide that every director, officer, committee member and any resident representative of the Registrant be indemnified against any liabilities, loss, damage or expense incurred or suffered in such capacity, subject to limitations imposed in the Companies Act.

 

The Bye-laws further provide that each stockholder and the Registrant agree to waive any claim or right of action against any director or officer, in respect of any failure to act or any action taken by such director or officer in the performance of his duties with or for the Registrant.  The waiver does not extend to claims arising under United States federal securities laws or any claims or rights of action arising from the fraud or dishonesty of the director or officer.

 

The Registrant has agreed to indemnify certain current and former directors, officers and employees of the Registrant and its subsidiary Marvell Semiconductor, Inc. for reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such individuals in connection with certain civil actions and governmental investigations relating to the Registrant’s past stock option granting practices.  The Registrant’s agreement to pay reasonable fees and costs is subject to each individual’s agreement to reimburse the Registrant in the event that it is subsequently determined that the individual is not entitled to indemnification under the Registrant’s Bye-laws or applicable law.

Item 9.           Undertakings.

 

(a)           The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1)            To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

 

(2)            That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

 

(3)            To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(b)           The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(c)           Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
