This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 20, 2012 (the “Schedule TO”), relating to an offer by MaxLinear, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MaxLinear” or the “Company”) to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) certain outstanding options to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,825,471 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and an aggregate of up to 827,010 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, whether vested or unvested, that (i) have an exercise price per share greater than $5.00 (or if higher, the closing sales price of MaxLinear’s Class A common stock on the expiration date of the offer), (ii) were granted under either the MaxLinear 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”) or the MaxLinear 2004 Stock Plan (the “2004 Plan,” and together with the 2010 Plan, the “Plans”), and (iii) are held by Eligible Employees (as defined below), except as otherwise described in the Offer to Exchange (the “Eligible Options”).

Our executive officers (excluding Kishore Seendripu, Ph.D., our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Curtis Ling, Ph.D., our Chief Technical Officer) are Eligible Employees and therefore may participate in the Exchange Offer. Members of our board of directors, including members of our board who are also employees of MaxLinear, are not Eligible Employees and therefore may not participate in the Exchange Offer.
