Arbitration over merger agreement breach

Silicon Motion is pursuing arbitration at SIAC against MaxLinear over an alleged breach of the merger agreement, seeking USD 160 million plus damages.

Hearings were held in October 2025 and March 2026; the company flagged potential fee exposure if it loses, or recovery if it wins.

Separate securities class action remains on appeal

A separate U.S. securities class action added Silicon Motion and two officers in September 2024; claims against them were dismissed with prejudice on July 15, 2025.

The plaintiff appealed to the Ninth Circuit on Aug. 8, 2025; management said its assessment of the matters was unchanged.
