Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 16, 2026, MaxLinear, Inc. (“MaxLinear”) entered into an Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”), by and among MaxLinear, Exar Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of MaxLinear, MaxLinear Communications, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of MaxLinear, the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and collateral agent (“Agent”). The Third Amendment amends that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of June 23, 2021 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the effectiveness of the Third Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among MaxLinear, the lenders from time to time party thereto and the Agent, to, among other things, provide for $70 million in incremental revolving credit commitments (the “Incremental Commitments”) under MaxLinear’s senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”). After giving effect to the Incremental Commitments, the Revolving Facility provides for total revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200 million. The Third Amendment also amends MaxLinear’s liquidity covenant by reducing the threshold thereunder from $80 million to $60 million. The proceeds of the Revolving Facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Certain of the lenders under the Credit Agreement and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with MaxLinear or MaxLinear’s affiliates. The lenders and their affiliates have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions.
