A prospectus supplement is a document filed with the SEC that updates or supplements a company's base prospectus, providing specific details about securities being offered. A shelf registration statement (Form S-3 for eligible companies like Marvell) allows a company to register securities it expects to sell over a period of time, making it easier to access capital markets efficiently by filing a prospectus supplement for each specific offering.

Where can I find more information about the securities mentioned?

Details about the securities being registered and potentially offered can be found in Marvell Technology's automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-285742) and any related prospectus supplements filed with the SEC.
