MARVELL TECHNOLOGY GROUP LTD.
AMENDED AND RESTATED
1995 STOCK OPTION PLAN
(As amended April 16, 2015 and September 24, 2020)
1.Purpose.  This Plan is intended to attract and retain the best available individuals as Employees, Consultants and Outside Directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries, to provide additional incentives to those Employees, Consultants and Outside Directors, and to promote the success of the Company’s business.
2.Defined Terms.  The meanings of defined terms (generally, capitalized terms) in this Plan are provided in Section 21 (“Glossary”).
3.Shares Reserved.  Subject to Section 14, Shares that may be issued with respect to Awards granted under the Plan shall not exceed an aggregate of 383,440,718 Shares of Common Stock.  The Shares may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock.  If an Award under the Plan expires or becomes unexercisable for any reason, the Shares subject to such Award which have not been issued shall be available for future issuance under this Plan.  Shares retained to satisfy tax withholding obligations do not reduce the number authorized for issuance.
4.Administration.
(a)In General.  This Plan shall be administered by the Board or a Committee appointed by the Board.  Once appointed, a Committee shall serve until otherwise directed by the Board.  From time to time, the Board may increase the size of the Committee and appoint additional members, remove members (with or without cause) and appoint new members in their stead, fill vacancies however caused, and terminate the Committee and thereafter directly administer this Plan.
(b)Committee Composition.  The Board may provide for administration of this Plan with respect to Officers and directors of the Company by a Committee constituted so as to satisfy:
(i)such requirements as the Securities and Exchange Commission may establish for administrators acting under plans intended to qualify for exemption under Rule 16b-3 (or its successor) under the Exchange Act.
A Committee appointed under this Section 4(b) may be separate from any Committee appointed to administer this Plan with respect to Employees who are neither Officers nor directors.  Within the limitations of this Section 4(b), any reference in the Plan to the Committee shall include such committee or committees appointed pursuant to this Section 4.








(c)Powers of the Administrator.  Subject to the provisions of this Plan and in the case of a Committee, subject to the specific duties delegated by the Board, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its sole and absolute discretion:
(i)to determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock;
(ii)to grant Awards to such Consultants, Outside Directors and Employees as it selects;
(iii)to determine the terms and conditions of each Award granted, including without limitation the number of Shares subject to each Award, the exercise price per Share of Optioned Stock;
(iv)to approve forms of agreement for use under this Plan;
(v)to determine whether and under what circumstances to offer to buy out an Option for cash or Shares under Section 12;
(vi)to modify grants of Awards to participants who are foreign nationals or employed outside of the United States in order to recognize differences in local law, tax policies, or customs; and
(vii)to construe and interpret the terms of this Plan and of each Award granted pursuant to this Plan.
(d)Administrator’s Decisions Binding.  All decisions, determinations, and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and binding on all Grantees and any other holders of any Awards, and no member of the Administrator shall be liable for any such determination, decision, or interpretation made in good faith.
5.Eligibility.
(a)General.  Nonstatutory Stock Options and other Awards (other than Incentive Stock Options) may be granted to Employees, Consultants and Outside Directors.  An Employee, Consultant or Outside Director who has been granted an Award may, if otherwise eligible, be granted additional Awards. Incentive Stock Options may no longer be granted under the Plan.
    








(b)Limitations.
(i)While the Company or a successor has outstanding any class of equity securities required to be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, the following limitations shall apply to grants of Awards to Employees:
(ii)No Employee shall be granted, in any fiscal year of the Company, Awards with respect to more than 4,000,000 Shares, in the aggregate, adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization as described in Section 14.  If an Award is granted but canceled in the same fiscal year, it shall nonetheless count against the foregoing limit.  Reduction of an Option’s exercise price is treated as a cancellation of the Option and the grant of a new Option. 
(iii)Director Limitations.
(A)    No Outside Director may be granted, in any fiscal year of the Company, cash-settled Awards with a grant date fair value (determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) of more than $500,000, increased to $1,000,000 in connection with his or her initial service.
(B)    No Outside Director may be granted, in any fiscal year of the Company, stock-settled Awards with a grant date fair value (determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) of more than $500,000, increased to $1,000,000 in connection with his or her initial service.
6.Term of Options.  The term of each Option shall be determined by the Administrator at the time of grant but shall not exceed ten years.
7.Date of Option Grant.  Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the date of grant of an Option shall be the date on which the Administrator completes the actions necessary to grant the Option.  Notice of the grant shall be given to the Optionee within a reasonable time after the date of the grant.
8.Option Exercise Price and Form of Consideration.
(a)Price.  The per-Share exercise price of an Option shall be determined by the Administrator at the time of grant, but the per-Share exercise price shall be at least the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.
    








(b)Form of Payment.  Payment for Shares upon exercise of an Option shall be made in any lawful consideration approved by the Administrator and may, without limitation, consist of (1) cash, (2) check, (3) other Shares that have a Fair Market Value on the date of payment equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which Option is exercised; provided, however, that the Optionee shall not surrender, or attest to the ownership of, Shares in payment of the Exercise Price if such action would cause the Company to recognize compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with respect to the Option for financial reporting purposes, (4) delivery by a broker or brokerage firm approved by the Administrator of a properly executed exercise notice together with payment of the exercise price and such other documentation as the Administrator shall require, (5) net exercise or (6) any combination of the foregoing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a form of payment shall not be available if the Administrator determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such form of payment could violate any law or regulation.


9.Option Exercise.
(a)Exercisability.  Each Option shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator at the time of grant.
(b)Vesting.  Each Option and the corresponding Optioned Stock shall vest at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator at the time of grant, and as are otherwise permissible under the terms of this Plan, including without limitation, performance criteria with respect to the Company and/or the Optionee.
(c)Fractional Shares.  An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.
(d)Manner of Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder.  Unless otherwise allowed by the Administrator, an Option shall be exercised by delivery to the Company of all of the following: (i) written notice of exercise by the Optionee, in a form approved by the Administrator and in accordance with the terms of the Option, (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised, and (iii) payment (or provision for payment) of withholding taxes pursuant to Subsection (g), below.  Delivery of any of the foregoing may be by electronic means approved by the Administrator.  The Optionee shall be treated as a shareholder of the Company with respect to the purchased Shares upon completion of exercise of the Option.
(e)Optionee Representations.  If Shares purchasable pursuant to the exercise of an Option have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at the time the Option is exercised, the Optionee shall, if required by the Administrator, as a condition to exercise of all or any portion of the Option, deliver to the Company an investment representation statement in a form approved by the Administrator.
    








(f)Termination of Employment or Consulting Relationship.  If an Optionee’s Continuous Service terminates, the Optionee (or the Optionee’s estate or heirs, if termination is due to death or the Optionee dies during the post-termination exercise period of the Option) may exercise the Option, (i) only within such period of time as is determined by the Administrator (but no later than the expiration date for the Option determined by the Administrator at the time of grant) and the Option shall terminate at the end of that period, and (ii) unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of termination.
(g)Tax Withholding.  The Company’s obligation to deliver Shares upon exercise of an Option is subject to payment (or provision for payment satisfactory to the Administrator) by the Optionee of all federal, state, and local income and employment taxes that the Administrator determines in its discretion to be due as a result of the exercise of the Option or sale of the Shares.
10.Rule 16b-3.  Except to the extent determined by the Administrator, Awards granted to persons subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act shall comply with Rule 16b-3 and shall contain such terms as may be required or desirable to qualify Plan transactions for the maximum exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act.
11.Non-Transferability of Options.  Options may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.
12.Buyout of Options.  The Administrator may at any time offer to buy out an Option for a payment in cash or Shares, based on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the Optionee at the time of the offer.
13.Other Awards.  The Administrator may from time to time grant other stock-based awards to eligible Employees and Consultants in such amounts, on such terms and conditions, and for such consideration, including no consideration or such minimum consideration as may be required by law, as it shall determine and set forth in the applicable Grant Agreement, including without limitation the following:
    








(a)Stock Appreciation Rights.  The Administrator may from time to time grant Awards of stock appreciation rights (“SAR”).  An SAR entitles the Grantee to receive, subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Grant Agreement, a payment having an aggregate value equal to the product of (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of one share of Common Stock over (B) the base price per share specified in the Grant Agreement, times (ii) the number of shares specified by the SAR, or portion thereof, which is exercised.  Payment by the Company of the amount receivable upon any exercise of an SAR may be made by the delivery of Common Stock or cash, or any combination of Common Stock and cash, as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator.  If upon settlement of the exercise of an SAR a Grantee is to receive a portion of such payment in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares shall be determined by dividing such portion by the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the exercise date.  No fractional shares shall be used for such payment and the Administrator shall determine whether cash shall be given in lieu of such fractional shares or whether such fractional shares shall be eliminated.
(b)Stock Awards.  The Administrator may from time to time grant restricted or unrestricted Awards of Common Stock in such amounts, on such terms and conditions, and for such consideration, including no consideration or such minimum consideration as may be required by law, as it shall determine.
(c)Stock Units.  The Administrator may from time to time grant Awards denominated in stock-equivalent units (“stock units”) in such amounts and on such terms and conditions as it shall determine.  Stock units shall be credited to a bookkeeping reserve account solely for accounting purposes and shall not require a segregation of any of the Company’s assets.  An Award of stock units may be settled in Common Stock, in cash, or in a combination of Common Stock and cash, as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator.  Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Grant Agreement, the Grantee shall not have the rights of a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock represented by a stock unit solely as a result of the grant of a stock unit to the Grantee.
(d)Performance Awards.  The Administrator may, in its discretion, grant performance awards which become payable on account of attainment of one or more performance goals established by the Administrator.  Performance awards may be paid by the delivery of Common Stock or cash, or any combination of Common Stock and cash, as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator.  Performance goals established by the Administrator may be based on one or more business criteria selected by the Administrator that apply to an individual or group of individuals, a business unit, or the Company as a whole, over such performance period as the Administrator may designate.  The Administrator may grant awards intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code under terms and conditions set forth in Appendix A.
    








(e)Other Stock-Based Awards.  The Administrator may grant other stock-based awards may be denominated in cash, in Common Stock or other securities, in stock-equivalent units, in stock appreciation units, in securities or debentures convertible into Common Stock, or in any combination of the foregoing and may be paid in Common Stock or other securities, in cash, or in a combination of Common Stock or other securities and cash, all as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator.
(f)Deferral of Awards.
The Administrator (in its sole discretion) may provide that Shares or cash that otherwise would be delivered to a Grantee as a result of the exercise of an Option or other settlement of an Award may be converted into amounts credited to a deferred compensation account established for such Grantee by the Administrator as an entry on the Company’s books.  A deferred compensation account established under this Section 13(f) may be credited with interest or other forms of investment return, as determined by the Administrator.  A Grantee for whom such an account is established shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company.  Such an account shall represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Grant Agreement between such Participant and the Company.  The Administrator (in its sole discretion) shall establish Grant rules, procedures and forms pertaining to any deferral of Awards pursuant to this Section 13(f).
14.Changes in Capitalization or Control.
(a)Changes in Capitalization.  Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, the number of Shares of Optioned Stock or of other Shares subject to an outstanding Award, and the number of Shares that have been authorized for issuance under this Plan but as to which no Options or other Awards have then been granted (including the number of shares automatically added to the Plan on annual basis as provided for in Section 3(i) and (ii)), or that have been returned to this Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option or an Award, as well as the price per Share of Optioned Stock or of other Shares subject to an outstanding Award, shall be proportionately adjusted for any change in the number of issued Shares resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other change in the number of issued Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company (not counting Shares issued upon conversion of convertible securities of the Company as “effected without receipt of consideration”).  Such adjustment shall be made by the Board and shall be final, binding, and conclusive.  Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no consequent adjustment shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to this Plan.
    








(b)Change in Control.  The Administrator may, in its discretion, determine at any time from and after the grant of an Award the effect that a Change in Control shall have upon the Award; provided, however, that a Change in Control shall not have the effect of impairing the rights of any Grantee under any then-outstanding Award without his or her prior written consent.  Without limiting the foregoing sentence, the Administrator may determine that upon a Change in Control, an Option:
(i)shall become fully vested and exercisable either for a limited period following the Change in Control or for the remainder of the Option’s term;
(ii)shall terminate upon or after a specified period following the Change in Control;
(iii)shall be cancelled in exchange for cash in the amount of the excess of the fair market value of the Optioned Shares over the exercise price upon termination; or
(iv)shall be treated as provided under a combination of clauses (i) through (iii), or shall be so treated only if not adequately assumed (or substituted for) by a surviving or successor person or entity in the transactions or events that give rise to the Change in Control.
For purposes of this Section 14(b), (A) the occurrence of any of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) shall not constitute an impairment of the rights of any Optionee and (B) the “Administrator” shall be the Administrator as constituted before the Change in Control occurs.
15.Amendments; Termination.  The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate this Plan, but no such action shall impair the rights of any Grantee under any then-outstanding Award without his or her prior written consent.
16.Securities Regulation Requirements.
(a)Compliance with Rule.  In general, Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option or pursuant to any other Award unless the exercise of the Option or other Award and issuance of the Shares comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, any applicable state securities laws, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the requirements of any stock exchange or national market system upon which the Shares may then be listed, and the requirements of any regulatory body having jurisdiction.
(b)Optionee Investment Representation.  As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Company may require the person exercising the Option to represent and warrant that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute the Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by law.
    








17.Written Agreements.  Awards shall be evidenced by written agreements in a form the Administrator approves from time to time.  Delay in executing a written agreement shall not affect the date of grant of an Option; however, an Option may not be exercised until a written agreement has been executed by the Company and the Optionee.
18.Shareholder Approval.  This Plan is subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company within 12 months after the Board initially adopts this Plan.  Shareholder approval shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under applicable state and federal law and the rules of any stock exchange or national market system upon which the Common Stock is listed.
19.No Employment Rights.  This Plan does not confer upon any Grantee any right with respect to continuation of employment or consulting relationship with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with the Company’s right to terminate his or her employment or consulting relationship at any time, with or without cause.
20.Term of Plan.  This Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to occur of the initial adoption by the Board or initial approval by the shareholders of the Company, as described in Section 18.  It shall continue in effect until terminated by the Board pursuant to Section 15.
