1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Inphi Corporation (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, was incorporated in November 2000. The Company is a fabless provider of high-speed analog and mixed signal semiconductor solutions for the communications and cloud markets. The Company’s semiconductor solutions are designed to address bandwidth bottlenecks in networks, maximize throughput and minimize latency in computing environments and enable the rollout of next generation communications and cloud infrastructures. In addition, the semiconductor solutions provide a vital high-speed interface between analog signals and digital information in high-performance systems such as telecommunications transport systems, enterprise networking equipment and data centers.

On January 10, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of eSilicon Corporation (“eSilicon”) for $214,644. The revenue and expenses of eSilicon from January 10, 2020 onwards are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

On May 18, 2020, the Company purchased certain assets and rights of Arrive Technologies, Inc. (“Arrive”) for $20,141. The revenue and expenses related to this purchase from May 18, 2020 onwards are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 25, 2021.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to state fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2021, its consolidated results of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies the accounting for income taxes as part of FASB’s overall initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. Amendments include removal of certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740, Income Taxes, and simplification in general other areas such as accounting for a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income. The guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The guidance will reduce the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. This will result in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract compared with current GAAP. More convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument, and more convertible preferred stock will be reported as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The FASB also made changes to the disclosures for convertible instruments and earnings-per-share guidance. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, though early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Acquisitions

eSilicon

On January 10, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of eSilicon for approximately $214,644. The Company acquired eSilicon to accelerate the Company’s roadmap in developing electro-optics solutions for cloud and telecommunications customers. An amount of $10,000 was placed in an escrow fund for up to 36 months in certain circumstances following the closing for the satisfaction of certain potential indemnification claims. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of eSilicon from the acquisition date.

The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The Company allocated the purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired was based on estimates and assumptions made by management at the time of acquisition.

The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation as of the acquisition date:

 

Cash

   $ 704  

Restricted cash

     2,100  

Accounts receivable

     5,750  

Inventories

   $ 148,633  

Goodwill

     66,011  
  

 

 

 

Net assets acquired

   $ 214,644  
  

 

 

 

As of the acquisition date, the fair value of receivables, other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximated the book value acquired.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of intangible assets and their estimated useful lives as of the date of acquisition:

 

     Estimated Fair
Value
     Estimated
Useful Life
(Years)
 

Contract manufacturing rights

   $ 105,160        5.0  

Developed technology

     33,630        8.0  

Software

     9,930        0.5 to 2.0  
  

 

 

    
     $148,720         
  

 

 

    

Developed technology was valued using the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach. This method involves discounting the direct cash flows expected to be generated by the technologies over their remaining lives, net of returns on contributory assets. The estimated useful life was determined based on the technology cycle related to product family and its expected contribution to forecasted revenue. Contract manufacturing rights were valued using a multi-period excess earnings method, which involved discounting the direct cash flow expected to be generated by these rights over their remaining economic lives, net of returns on contributory assets. The estimated useful life was determined to be five years based on the estimated life of the product, assuming that the existing customers will remain with the Company until the product becomes obsolete. The cash flows for the two intangible assets were distinctly separate and bifurcated for the purposes of the valuation of each asset. Management applied significant judgment in estimating the fair value of developed technology and the contract manufacturing rights intangible assets acquired, which involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions with respect to the timing and amounts of the future revenue cash flows and revenue growth rates.

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and is attributable to the workforce of eSilicon, the Company’s going concern value with the opportunity to leverage its workforce to develop new technologies and the ability of the Company to grow the business faster and more profitable than was possible by eSilicon as a stand-alone company. Goodwill is not amortized and is not deductible for tax purposes.

The Company incurred acquisition costs of $1,550, of which $1,015 was incurred during the year ended December 31, 2019 and $535 was incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The acquisition costs were included in general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

eSilicon contributed revenue of $18,673 and pre-tax loss of $13,995 for the period from January 10, 2020 to March 31, 2020.

Prior to the acquisition, the Company owned a minority equity interest in eSilicon. The fair value of the equity interest immediately before the acquisition date was $14,999, which resulted in a gain of $4,999 and was included in Other income, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The fair value was determined based on the proceeds received as a holder of eSilicon’s preferred stock.

Arrive

On May 18, 2020, the Company purchased certain assets and rights of Arrive for $20,141. The Company acquired Arrive for the purpose of expanding its presence into strategic geographic regions for talent acquisition. An amount of $3,000 was withheld by the Company for 12 months following the closing for the satisfaction of certain potential indemnification claims. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of Arrive from the acquisition date.

The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, which requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The Company allocated the purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The fair value of the identifiable intangible asset acquired was based on estimates and assumptions made by management at the time of acquisition.

The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation as of the acquisition date:

 

Inventories

   $ 126  

Developed technology

     8,840  
  

 

 

 

Total identifiable net assets

     8,966  

Goodwill

     11,175  
  

 

 

 

Net assets acquired

   $ 20,141  
  

 

 

 

The estimated fair value of developed technology was $8,840 with an estimated useful life of five years. The developed technology was valued using the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach. This method involves discounting the direct cash flows expected to be generated by the technologies over their remaining lives, net of returns on contributory assets. The estimated useful life was determined to be five years based on the estimated life of the product, assuming that the existing customers will remain with the Company until the product becomes obsolete.

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and is attributable to the workforce of Arrive, the Company’s going concern value with the opportunity to leverage its workforce to develop new technologies and the ability of the Company to grow the business faster and more profitable than was possible by Arrive as a stand-alone company. Since this is an asset purchase agreement, the goodwill is amortized and is deductible for tax purposes.

As of March 31, 2021, there were no investments that had an unrealized loss position. The Company reviews the investments to identify and evaluate investments that have an indication of possible other-than-temporary impairment. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is other-than-temporary include the extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, and the intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

The contractual maturities of available-for-sale securities at March 31, 2021 are presented in the following table:

Under the Capped Call 2016, the Company purchased capped call options that in aggregate relate to 100% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the Convertible Notes 2016, with a strike price approximately equal to the conversion price of the Convertible Notes 2016 and with a cap price equal to approximately $73.03 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, certain Capped Call 2016 were settled and the Company received $3,745 in cash.

Conversion of Convertible Notes 2016

The conversion condition for the Convertible Notes 2016 was met during the three months ended March 31, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company converted $37,551 aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes 2016. The conversion was accounted for as a debt extinguishment. The Company paid a total of $17,757 cash (excluding payment for accrued interest) and issued a total of 554,829 shares of common stock. The total consideration was allocated to the liability and equity components of the Convertible Notes 2016. The total consideration allocated to the liability component was based on the fair value of the liability component using discount rates based on the Company’s estimated rate for a similar liability with the same maturity, but without the conversion option. The consideration allocated to the equity component was calculated by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the aggregate consideration. The loss on extinguishment was determined by comparing the allocated consideration with the carrying value of the liability component, which includes the proportionate amounts of unamortized debt discount and the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs.

The net carrying amount of the liability component of the Convertible Notes 2016 immediately prior to the conversion was as follows:

Net carrying value of debt

     (36,368

The consideration allocated to the equity component of $70,940 for the Convertible Notes 2016 was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. The total value of common stock issued in relation to the conversion was $90,628 for the Convertible Notes 2016.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company received conversion requests on the aggregate principal amount for the Convertible Notes 2016 of $6,626, which remain unsettled as of March 31, 2021. In addition, from April 1 to 20, 2021, the Company received conversion requests on the aggregate principal amount for the Convertible Notes 2016 of $670.

Convertible Notes 2020

The Convertible Notes 2020 will mature April 15, 2025, unless earlier converted or repurchased. Interest on the Convertible Notes 2020 is payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2020. The initial conversion rate is 8.0059 shares of common stock per $1 principal amount of Convertible Notes 2020, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $124.91 per share.

12. Income Taxes

The Company normally determines its interim income tax provision using an estimated single annual effective tax rate for all tax jurisdictions. ASC 740 provides that when an entity operates in a jurisdiction that has generated ordinary losses on a year-to-date basis or on the basis of the results anticipated for the full fiscal year and no benefit can be recognized on those losses, a separate effective tax rate should be computed and applied to ordinary income (or loss) in that jurisdiction. The Company incurred pretax loss during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 from its U.S. operations and will not recognize a tax benefit of the losses due to the full valuation allowance established against deferred tax assets. Thus, a separate effective tax rate was applied to losses from the U.S. jurisdiction to compute the Company’s March 31, 2021 and 2020 interim tax provision.

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $1,295 and $45 in three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 , respectively. The effective tax rates were (25.1%) and (0.2%) in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 , respectively. The difference between the effective tax rates and the 21% federal statutory rate was primarily due to change in valuation allowance, foreign income taxes provided at lower rates, geographic mix in expected operating results, unrecognized tax benefits, recognition of federal and state research and development credits, windfall tax benefits from stock-based compensation and global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) inclusion.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the gross amount of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits increased approximately $1,273 for tax positions taken during the current year. Substantially all of the unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2021, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate.

The Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes on undistributed earnings of its controlled foreign corporations as the Company intends to reinvest these earnings indefinitely outside the U.S.

14. Stock–Based Compensation

In June 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) adopted the Company’s 2010 Stock Incentive Plan, which was amended and restated in July 2017 (the “2010 Plan”). The 2010 Plan provides for the grants of restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and stock unit awards to employees, non-employee directors, advisors and consultants. The compensation committee of the Board administers the 2010 Plan, including the determination of the recipient of an award, the number of shares subject to each award, whether an option is to be classified as an incentive stock option or nonstatutory option, and the terms and conditions of each award, including the exercise and purchase prices and the vesting or duration of the award. Options granted under the 2010 Plan are exercisable only upon vesting. At March 31, 2021, 4,612,339 shares of common stock have been reserved for future grants under the 2010 Plan.

Stock Option Awards

The Company did not grant any stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

The intrinsic value of options outstanding, exercisable and vested and expected to vest is calculated based on the difference between the exercise price and the fair value of the Company’s common stock as of the respective balance sheet dates.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was $3,393 and $6,834, respectively. The intrinsic value of exercised options is calculated based on the difference between the exercise price and the fair value of the Company’s common stock as of the exercise date.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to members of the Board and its employees. Most of the Company’s outstanding RSUs vest over four years with vesting contingent upon continuous service, and RSUs granted to non-employee directors after the initial grant vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant or immediately prior to the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders, if earlier. The Company estimates the fair value of RSUs using the market price of the common stock on the date of the grant. The fair value of these awards is amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

The following table summarizes information regarding outstanding RSUs:

 

     Number of
Shares

     3,645,711     

The RSUs include performance-based stock units subject to achievement of a pre-established revenue goal and earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis. Once the goals are met, the performance-based stock units are subject to four years of vesting from the original grant date, contingent upon continuous service. As of March 31, 2021, the total performance-based units outstanding was 34,224.

Market Value Stock Units

In January 2018, the compensation committee of the Board approved long-term market value stock unit (“MVSU”) awards to certain executive officers and employees, subject to certain market and service conditions in the maximum total amount of 702,000 units. Recipients may earn between 0% to 225% of the target number of shares based on the Company’s achievement of total shareholder return (“TSR”) in comparison to the TSR of companies in the S&P 500 Index over a period of approximately three years in length ending in the first calendar quarter of 2021 after reporting of fiscal year 2020 results. If the Company’s absolute TSR is negative for the performance period, then the maximum number of shares that may be earned is the target number of shares. The fair value of the MVSU awards was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model and compensation is being recognized ratably over the service period. The expected volatility of the Company’s common stock was estimated based on the historical average volatility rate over the three-year period. The dividend yield assumption was based on historical and anticipated dividend payouts. The risk-free interest rate assumption was based on observed interest rates consistent with three-year measurement period. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company issued 326,500 shares of common stock upon completion of the performance period.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In December 2011, the Board adopted the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which was amended and restated in April 2015, and further amended and restated in April 2018 (the “ESPP”). Participants purchase the Company’s stock using payroll deductions, which may not exceed 15% of their total cash compensation. Pursuant to the terms of the ESPP, the “look-back” period for the stock purchase price is six months. Offering and purchase periods will begin on February 10 and August 10 of each year. Participants will be granted the right to purchase common stock at a price per share that is 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the beginning or the end of each six-month period.

The ESPP imposes certain limitations upon an employee’s right to acquire common stock, including the following: (i) no employee shall be granted a right to participate if such employee would own stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company immediately after the election to purchase common stock, and (ii) no employee may be granted rights to purchase more than $25 of fair value of common stock in each calendar year. The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock available for purchase under the ESPP is 2,750,000 shares. Total common stock issued under the ESPP during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was 52,934 and 74,896, respectively. The ESPP offering ended in February 2021.

The fair value of the ESPP purchases is estimated at the start of the offering period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions for the three months ended March 31, 2020:

Total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock units at March 31, 2021, prior to the consideration of expected forfeitures, is approximately $247,215 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.48 years.

15. Fair Value Measurements

The guidance on fair value measurements requires fair value measurements to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; or

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

The Company measures its investments in marketable securities at fair value using the market approach, which uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The Company has cash equivalents which consist of money market funds valued using the amortized cost method which approximates fair value.

The Convertible Notes are carried on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at their original issuance value including accreted interest, net of unamortized debt discount and issuance cost. The Convertible Notes are not marked to fair value at the end of each reporting period. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of the Convertible Notes was determined on the basis of market prices observable for similar instruments and is considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the outstanding Convertible Notes as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $842,167 and $890,181, respectively.

As discussed in note 4, the Company has a marketable equity investment. The marketable equity investment is classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. As discussed in note 4, the Company has non-marketable equity investments, which are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because the Company estimates the value based on valuation methods using the observable transaction price at the most recent transaction date. 

16. Segment and Geographic Information

The Company operates in one reportable segment. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is considered to be the chief operating decision maker, manages the Company’s operations as a whole and reviews consolidated financial information for purposes of evaluating financial performance and allocating resources. Revenue by region is classified based on the locations to which the products are shipped, which may differ from the customer’s principal offices.

The following table sets forth the Company’s revenue by geographic region:

The Company depends upon third-party subcontractors to manufacture its wafers. The Company’s subcontractor relationships typically allow for the cancellation of outstanding purchase orders, but require payment of all expenses incurred through the date of cancellation. As of March 31, 2021, the total value of open purchase orders for wafers was approximately $51,452.

Legal Proceedings

Netlist, Inc. v. Inphi Corporation, Case No. 09-cv-6900 (C.D. Cal.)

On September 22, 2009, Netlist filed suit in the United States District Court, Central District of California (the “Court”), asserting that the Company infringes U.S. Patent No. 7,532,537. Netlist filed an amended complaint on December 22, 2009, further asserting that the Company infringes U.S. Patent Nos. 7,619,912 and 7,636,274, collectively with U.S. Patent No. 7,532,537, the patents-in-suit, and seeking both unspecified monetary damages to be determined and an injunction to prevent further infringement. These infringement claims allege that the iMB and certain other memory module components infringe the patents in-suit. The Company answered the amended complaint on February 11, 2010 and asserted that the Company does not infringe the patents-in-suit and that the patents-in-suit are invalid. In 2010, the Company filed inter partes requests for reexamination with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), asserting that the patents-in-suit are invalid. As a result of the proceedings at the USPTO, the Court has stayed the litigation, with the parties advising the Court on status every 120 days.

As to the proceeding at the USPTO, reexamination has been ordered and concluded for all of the patents that Netlist alleged to infringe. The Reexamination Certificate for U.S. Patent No. 7,532,537 was issued on August 2, 2016 based on amended claims being determined patentable. The Reexamination Certificate for U.S. Patent No. 7,636,274 was issued on November 5, 2018, indicating that all claims, 1 through 97, were cancelled. The Reexamination Certificate for U.S. Patent No. 7,619,912 was issued on February 8, 2021, with certain claims being cancelled, other amended claims being determined patentable, and further claims dependent on the amended claim being determined patentable

While the Company intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously to the extent that Netlist has valid claims remaining in view of the USPTO proceedings, the litigation, whether or not determined in the Company’s favor or settled, could be costly and time-consuming and could divert management’s attention and resources, which could adversely affect the Company’s business.

Due to the nature of the litigation, the Company is currently unable to predict the final outcome of this lawsuit and therefore cannot determine the likelihood of loss nor estimate a range of possible loss. However, because of the nature and inherent uncertainties of litigation, should the outcome of these actions be unfavorable, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

Claims Against eSilicon Corporation

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of eSilicon, eSilicon and the Company have received written communications from certain former stockholders of eSilicon demanding to inspect eSilicon’s books and records and indicating that such stockholders will be seeking appraisal of shares they held in eSilicon. Certain of these former eSilicon stockholders also have stated that they may assert claims against eSilicon’s directors and senior officers for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations in connection with the merger between eSilicon and a subsidiary of the Company.

On May 11, 2020, three purported former stockholders of eSilicon initiated an action in the Delaware Court of Chancery captioned Tran v. eSilicon Corporation, C.A. No. 2020-0356-PAF, seeking appraisal of certain eSilicon shares. On June 4, 2020, eSilicon answered the petition and filed the verified list required by DGCL § 262(f). On December 31, 2020, after eSilicon finalized settlement agreements for immaterial amount with these petitioners and certain other stockholders who also purported to demand appraisal for shares of eSilicon common stock, the Court of Chancery dismissed the Tran action with prejudice pursuant to the stipulation of the parties.

On December 23, 2020, seven purported former stockholders of eSilicon initiated an action in the Delaware Court of Chancery captioned Kupec v. eSilicon Corporation, C.A. No. 2020-1099-PAF, seeking appraisal of certain eSilicon shares. On January 19, 2021, eSilicon answered the petition and filed the verified list required by DGCL § 262(f). Discovery in this action is ongoing and no trial date has been set.

The Company is unaware of any other petition for appraisal or lawsuit that has been filed by any former eSilicon stockholder. The Company plans to vigorously defend against lawsuits arising out of or relating to the merger agreement and/or the merger that may be filed in the future. Amounts payable as a result of these claims are recoverable from the escrow set up as part of the eSilicon acquisition.

From time to time, the Company is involved in certain other litigation matters but does not consider these matters to be material either individually or in the aggregate. The Company’s view of these matters may change in the future as the litigation and events related thereto unfold.

Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, lessors, investors, directors, officers, employees and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of the Company’s breach of such agreements, services to be provided by the Company, or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third-parties. These indemnifications may survive termination of the underlying agreement and the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification provisions may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. The Company has not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnifications. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

18. Merger with Marvell Technology

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through May 19, 2021, the date on which the condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued and has determined the following subsequent event is reportable other than those disclosed elsewhere in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

On October 29, 2020, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization with Marvell Technology Group Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (“Marvell”), Maui HoldCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Marvell (“HoldCo”), Maui Acquisition Company Ltd, a Bermuda exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of HoldCo (“Bermuda Merger Sub”), and Indigo Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of HoldCo (“Delaware Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Bermuda Merger Sub will merge with and into Marvell, with Marvell surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of HoldCo (the “Bermuda Merger”), followed immediately by the merger of Delaware Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of HoldCo (the “Delaware Merger” and, together with the Bermuda Merger, the “Mergers”). The Mergers will result in a combined company domiciled in the United States, with Marvell shareholders owning approximately 83% of the combined company, and the Company’s stockholders owning approximately 17% of the combined company. The Mergers closed on April 20, 2021.
