UTStarcom's semiconductor design business is primarily focused on
developing wireless communications solutions including 3G wireless application
technologies and silicon solutions for Personal Handyphone System (PHS)
products.

'We are very pleased to enter into this agreement and look forward to
further strengthening our relationship with UTStarcom,' stated
Dr. Sehat
Sutardja, Marvell's president and chief executive officer. 'Additionally, we
are very excited to have this strong engineering team join the Marvell family
as well as greatly expand our growing operations in China.'

Under the terms of the definitive agreement, Marvell will purchase
substantially all of the assets of UTStarcom's System-on-Chip semiconductor
business division for $24 million in cash. The acquisition is expected to
close within sixty days following the satisfaction of regulatory requirements
and other customary closing conditions. Additionally, in accordance with the
definitive agreement, Marvell may pay an additional $16 million upon certain
defined milestones being achieved. Upon closing, Marvell may record a
one-time charge for purchased in-process research and development expenses.
The amount of that charge, if any, has not yet been determined.

'This divestiture is consistent with the corporate restructuring plan
announced earlier this year which is focused on streamlining our business to
our strategic handset and system level core competencies and better aligning
the company's resources with industry trends and sales opportunities in the
marketplace,' said
Hong Lu, chief executive officer and president of
UTStarcom, Inc. 'We believe that this transaction will allow us to maintain
the cost benefits enabled by our internal development of ASIC chip design by
leveraging the proven semiconductor capabilities of Marvell.'
