MARVELL TECHNOLOGY GROUP LTD. COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF GALILEO TECHNOLOGY LTD.

SUNNYVALE, Calif. and MANOF, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 22, 2001--Marvell
Technology Group Ltd. (Marvell) (NASDAQ: MRVL), a technology leader in the
development of extreme broadband DSP-based mixed-signal integrated circuits for
communications signal processing markets, today announced that it has completed
the acquisition of Israel-based Galileo Technology Ltd. (Galileo).

Galileo, a market leader in communications systems on silicon, is one of the
semiconductor industry's fastest growing suppliers of complex, high-performance,
integrated circuit devices serving the needs of the LAN, MAN and WAN markets.
Galileo is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Marvell Technology Group Ltd. and
will continue operations in Manof, Israel and San Jose, Calif. With Marvell and
Galileo's technology leadership, the combined company is now positioned to
provide a complete end-to-end solution for building networked communications
systems. The merger also positions Marvell for significantly broader market
opportunities in areas such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet, wireless and terabit-class
communication solutions.

In connection with the acquisition, Marvell will issue approximately 29.1
million shares of its common stock to Galileo shareholders, which represents
approximately 25% of the outstanding shares of Marvell common stock after the
merger on a fully diluted basis. The acquisition will be accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting and is immediately accretive. Shortly after the
merger is effective, materials will be mailed to Galileo shareholders along with
a letter of transmittal, which will instruct Galileo shareholders how to
exchange their shares of Galileo for shares of Marvell.

Commencing today, revenue from Galileo's products will be reported as a
component of Marvell's total data communications revenue. For it's most recent
quarter ended December 31, 2000, Galileo recorded record revenue of $33.3
million, which represented an increase of 16% from the prior quarter, and
earnings per share of $0.16. Galileo's new products, namely the GalNet(R) 2+,
GalNet 3 and the Horizon(TM) families, continue to gain momentum in the market.
Additionally, in December 2000, Galileo introduced its next-generation system
controller platform, the Discovery family, for MIPS and PowerPC processors. As a
combined company, Marvell has attained over 160 broadband communications design
wins.
