Under the deal terms, Innovium shareholders will receive approximately 19.05 million shares of Marvell Stock that will be issued in aggregate in exchange for all outstanding equity of Innovium.

The acquisition is also expected to add $150 million in incremental revenue in fiscal 2023.

Marvell said the planned acquisition of Innovium allows it to immediately participate in the fastest growing segment of the switch market with a cloud-optimized solution.

Innovium Chief Technology Officer and Founder Puneet Agarwal will join Marvell after close of the transaction. Innovium CEO Rajiv Khemani will serve as an advisor to Marvell post close.

Further, Marvell said it now expects its second-quarter revenue to be in the range of $1.065 billion +/- 1.5%.
