Insights
Marvell raises $1B in long-term notes to refinance 2026 debt.
Marvell issued $1.0 billion of 5.300% Senior Notes due 2036, generating net proceeds of about $993.5 million. The filing states these proceeds will repay existing debt, including 1.650% senior notes due 2026, with any remainder for broad corporate uses.
This shifts part of the capital structure from shorter-dated, lower-coupon debt to longer-maturity obligations at a higher rate, locking in financing to 2036. The notes were sold to underwriters at 99.235% of principal and offered to the public at 99.885%, indicating a small underwriting spread consistent with an investment-grade style offering.
The early redemption terms, including a make-whole call before the January 15, 2036 par call date, give Marvell flexibility to refinance again if market conditions become favorable. Overall impact depends on how the company balances interest cost, growth investment and further deleveraging in future periods.

Fifth Supplemental Indenture
On April 15, 2026, Marvell Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) completed a public offering of $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.300% Senior Notes due 2036 (the “Notes”). The Notes were offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-285742) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), on March 12, 2025. The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes were approximately $993.5 million after deducting the underwriters’ discount but before other expenses, and will be used for the repayment of debt, including the Company’s 1.650% senior notes due 2026. Any remaining funds will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include, but are not limited to, funding for working capital, payment of dividends, capital expenditures, repurchases of the Company’s common stock and acquisitions.
The Notes are governed by the Indenture, dated as of April 12, 2021 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 15, 2026, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”).
The Notes will accrue interest from April 15, 2026. Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2026. The Notes will accrue interest at a rate of 5.300% per year. The Notes will mature on April 15, 2036.
Prior to January 15, 2036 (three months prior to the maturity date of the Notes) (the “par call date”), the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of: (1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Notes matured on the par call date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined in the Fifth Supplemental Indenture), plus 15 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption; and (2) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed; plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. On or after the par call date, the Company may redeem the Notes in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.
