Dear Sirs:
REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-4
We have examined the registration statement on Form S-4 filed by Marvell
Technology Group Ltd. (the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on the date hereof, as such may be further amended or supplemented
(the "Registration Statement"), in connection with the registration under the
United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), of 31,564,708
common shares of the Company (the "Shares"). As the Company's special legal
counsel in Bermuda in connection with this transaction, we have examined the
proceedings taken and proposed to be taken by the Company in connection with the
issuance and sale of the Shares.
Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares, when issued and sold
in the manner described in the Registration Statement, will be legally and
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable under the laws of Bermuda.
We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement, and further consent to the use of our name wherever appearing in the
Registration Statement, including the prospectus constituting a part thereof,
which has been approved by us.
Yours faithfully,
/s/ Conyers Dill & Pearman
