WHEREAS, as a result of the Mergers, which will become effective within one minute of each other, Marvell and the Company will become wholly owned subsidiaries of Marvell Technology, a new holding company;
WHEREAS, at the effective time of the Delaware Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (each, an “Inphi Share”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) Inphi Shares held by the Company, Marvell, Marvell Technology, Delaware Merger Sub or any other subsidiary of Marvell or the Company and (ii) Inphi Shares with respect to which appraisal rights are properly exercised and not withdrawn under Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive 2.323 shares of common stock, $0.002 par value per share, of Marvell Technology (“Marvell Technology Common Stock”) and $66.00 in cash, without interest, plus cash in lieu of any fractional Marvell Technology Common Stock;
