Date of Report: August 21, 2012
Event: Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement regarding the repurchase of shares from specific venture capital investors.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing details a specific capital transaction rather than periodic financial performance metrics (e.g., revenue, profit, or cash flow).
- Total Repurchase Price: $9,236,569.42 (Note: The source text states "$9,236,569.42 million," which is contextually inconsistent with the share count and price; the value is treated as approximately $9.24 million based on standard financial reporting conventions for this transaction size).
- Shares Repurchased from Mission Ventures: 1,152,338 shares of Class A common stock (representing 100% of their holdings).
- Shares Repurchased from USVP: 500,000 shares of Class B common stock.
- Remaining USVP Holdings: 2,396,571 shares of Class B common stock; 0 shares of Class A common stock.
- Repurchase Price Basis: Closing price of Class A common stock on the NYSE on August 21, 2012.
Material Changes
The primary material change is the reduction of outstanding shares held by early-stage investors and the corresponding cash outflow for the repurchase.
- Ownership Structure: Mission Ventures III, L.P. and affiliates no longer hold any Class A or Class B common stock of MaxLinear, Inc.
- USVP Position: USVP's holdings were consolidated entirely into Class B common stock following the transaction.
Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
Future Repurchase Plans: The Board of Directors has not authorized a general stock repurchase program. The company has no current plans to effect open-market purchases of Class A common stock or other repurchases of Class B common stock outside of this specific agreement.
Right of First Refusal: Under the agreement, USVP must notify the company prior to selling or transferring shares for a period of six months. MaxLinear has a 24-hour window to exercise an option (but not an obligation) to repurchase those shares at the closing price on the day following the notification.
Risks and Contingencies: The transaction is subject to standard closing and settlement conditions.
Investor Verification Checklist

- Review the attached Stock Repurchase Agreement (Exhibit 10.23) for specific terms regarding the six-month notification period and right of first refusal.
- Monitor future filings to ensure no unauthorized open-market repurchases occur, as explicitly stated in the report.
