Notice of 2012 Annual
Meeting and Proxy
Statement

2011 Annual Report
to Stockholders

The year 2011 was a watershed for MagnaChip Semiconductor and marked a major
turning point for the company. We enhanced stockholder value by completing a
successful initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange and positioned and
focused our business on high-growth, higher-margin products and services.

To achieve these goals, our board of directors and management team implemented a
number of strategic actions. These actions, which included the development as well as
acquisition of new products and technologies, offer a great opportunity for sustained
In addition, our emphasis on reducing costs and increasing
profitable growth.
efficiencies has enabled us to be a cost-effective supplier of analog and mixed-signal
semiconductor products and manufacturing services.

To build on this success and ensure we maintain our momentum, MagnaChip recently
acquired Dawin Electronics, a designer and manufacturer of high-power modules for
consumer, commercial and industrial applications. The acquisition of Dawin not only
strengthens our product portfolio but extends our reach to a broader range of value-
added customers.

We have also expanded our blue-chip customer base by enhancing the company’s sales
resources and strengthening our OEM and channel relationships. As a result of these
and other actions, the roadmap for the company’s continued success has never been
clearer.

Through the 2011 global semiconductor market downturn, we were able to achieve
positive results by focusing on key products and technologies. Our power and display
solutions revenue grew year-over-year and the number of smartphone and tablet PC
customers doubled in our manufacturing services division. As a result of our strong
operating cash flow performance, we were able to reduce our senior note debt level and
also repurchase common shares, both accretive to earnings.

For 2012 and beyond, we will aggressively develop products that solve customers’
needs. We will continue to take the right steps to increase stockholder value by
maintaining a strong balance sheet, managing operating expenses, and aligning
production with current market conditions.

We believe that MagnaChip is better positioned for profitable growth than at any other
time in the past. I am confident that we have the vision, capabilities and products
necessary to capture the opportunities in our marketplace and to deliver enhanced value
to you, our stockholders.

PROXY STATEMENT

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON MAY 30, 2012

Why am I receiving these materials?

GENERAL INFORMATION

y
x
o
r
P

We sent you these proxy materials because the Board of Directors (sometimes referred to as the “Board”) of

MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation (sometimes referred to as the “Company,” “MagnaChip,” “we,” “us,”
and “our”) is soliciting your proxy to vote at the 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”)
and at any postponements or adjournments of the Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting will be held virtually via
live interactive webcast on the Internet on May 30, 2012, at 7:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. If you held shares
of our Common Stock on April 12, 2012, (the “Record Date”), you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting at
www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/mx and vote on the proposals described below under the heading “What am
I voting on?” However, you do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may
complete, sign, date, and return the enclosed proxy card. You may also vote over the Internet or by telephone.

The Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Proxy Statement, the enclosed proxy card, and our Annual

Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 are being mailed to stockholders commencing
on or about April 23, 2012.

What am I voting on?

There are four proposals scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting:

1.

Election of the two Class I directors specified in this Proxy Statement to serve until the 2015 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders and until their respective successors are elected and qualified;

2. Approval on an advisory (non-binding) basis of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as

described in this Proxy Statement;

3. An advisory (non-binding) vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on our Named Executive

Officers’ compensation; and

4. Ratification of the appointment of Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers as our independent registered public

accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012.

How does the Board recommend that I vote?

Our Board recommends that you vote your shares:

“FOR” the election of each of the two Class I directors named in this Proxy Statement to hold office until

the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their respective successors are elected and qualified;

“FOR,” the approval, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, of the compensation of the Named Executive

Officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement;

“EVERY THREE YEARS” as the frequency of the advisory vote on executive compensation; and

“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers as our independent registered

public accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012.

1

Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?

If you were a holder of record of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) as of the close of
business on April 12, 2012, the Record Date for the Annual Meeting, you may vote your shares at the Annual
Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 36,880,879 shares of MagnaChip Common Stock outstanding,
excluding treasury shares. Company treasury shares will not be voted. Each stockholder has one vote for each
share of Common Stock held as of the Record Date.

If, on the Record Date, your shares were held in an account at a broker, bank, or other financial institution

(we will refer to those organizations collectively as “broker”), then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in
“street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that broker. The broker holding your
account is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As the beneficial
owner, you have the right to direct your broker on how to vote the shares in your account. As a beneficial owner,
you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting via the Internet at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/mx.
However, since you are not a stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares at the Annual Meeting unless
you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker.

How can I attend the Annual Meeting?

You are invited to attend the Annual Meeting, if you are a stockholder or record or a beneficial owner as of

April 12, 2012, live via the Internet at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/mx. You must have your Control
Number listed on the enclosed proxy card to enter the meeting. The webcast starts at 7:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight
Time. You may vote and submit questions while attending the meeting on the Internet. Instructions on how to
attend and participate in the Annual Meeting via the Internet, including how to demonstrate proof of stock
ownership, are posted at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/mx. The audio broadcast will be archived on that
website for one year.

What if I return the proxy card to the Company but do not make specific choices?

If you return a signed, dated, proxy card to the Company without making any voting selections, the
Company will vote your shares (1) “FOR” the election of each of the two Class I directors named in this Proxy
Statement to hold office until the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their respective successors are
elected and qualified; (2) “FOR,” the approval, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, of the compensation of the
Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement; (3) “EVERY THREE YEARS” as the frequency
of the advisory (non-binding) vote on executive compensation; and (4) “FOR” the ratification of the appointment
of Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers as our independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2012.

The Company does not expect that any matters other than the election of directors and the other proposals
described in this Proxy Statement will be brought before the Annual Meeting. The persons appointed as proxies
will vote in their discretion on any other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any
postponements or adjournments thereof, including any vote to postpone or adjourn the Annual Meeting.

How many shares must be present or represented to conduct business at the Annual Meeting?

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid annual meeting. A quorum will be present if the
holders of at least a majority of the total number of shares of Common Stock entitled to vote are present, in
person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and shares represented by broker non-votes are counted
for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present. If there are insufficient votes to constitute a quorum
at the time of the Annual Meeting, we may adjourn the Annual Meeting to solicit additional proxies.

2

How are votes counted and what is a broker non-vote?

Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately
count “FOR,” “AGAINST,” abstentions and broker non-votes. A “broker non-vote” occurs when your broker
submits a proxy card for your shares of Common Stock held in street name, but does not vote on a particular
proposal because the broker has not received voting instructions from you and does not have the authority to vote
on that matter without instructions. Under the rules that govern brokers who are voting shares held in street
name, brokers have the discretion to vote those shares on routine matters but not on non-routine matters. For
purposes of these rules, the only routine matter in this Proxy Statement is Proposal Four—the ratification of our
independent registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year. Non-routine matters in this Proxy
Statement are Proposal One—the election of directors, Proposal Two—the advisory (non-binding) vote on the
compensation of our named executive officers, and Proposal Three—the advisory (non-binding) vote on the
frequency of the advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers. Therefore, if you hold your
shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, your broker does not have discretion
to vote your shares on any of the proposals at the Annual Meeting other than Proposal Four—the ratification of
our independent registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year. However, your shares will be
considered present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum.

y
x
o
r
P

What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?

Proposal One—Election of Directors

In the election of directors, you may vote FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN. A plurality of the votes duly cast

at the Annual Meeting is required for the election of director nominees. The two Class I director nominees
receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes cast by the holders of our Common Stock entitled to vote at the
Annual Meeting will be elected. Accordingly, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the
outcome of the election of directors. Stockholders have no right to cumulative voting as to any matter, including
the election of directors.

Proposal Two—Advisory Vote on Compensation of our Named Executive Officers

The proposal to approve, on an advisory (nonbinding) basis, the compensation of our Named Executive

Officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 as described in this Proxy Statement requires the
affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and
entitled to vote on such proposal. Abstentions will be included in the number of shares present and entitled to
vote and will therefore have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposal. Broker non-votes will not be
included in calculating the number of votes entitled to vote on this proposal and will therefore have no effect on
the outcome of this proposal.

Proposal Three—Advisory Vote on the Frequency of the Stockholder Vote on Executive Compensation

The option of “Every One Year,” “Every Two Years” or “Every Three Years” receiving the highest number

of votes present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such proposal
will be considered the option selected by the stockholders. Accordingly, abstentions and broker non-votes will
have no effect on the outcome of the election of directors.

Proposal Four—Ratification of the Appointment of our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for

the Current Fiscal Year

The proposal to ratify the appointment of Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers requires the affirmative vote of a

majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on
such proposal. Abstentions will be included in the number of shares present and entitled to vote and will
therefore have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” this proposal. Brokers have discretionary authority to vote
uninstructed shares on this proposal.

3

How do I vote my shares of MagnaChip Common Stock?

Stockholders may vote shares of our Common Stock using any of the following means:

Voting by Proxy Cards. A registered stockholder may vote shares until voting is completed at the Annual
Meeting by returning a duly completed and executed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope included. All proxy
cards received by us that have been properly signed and have not been revoked will be voted in accordance with
the instructions contained in the proxy cards. For your mailed proxy card to be counted, we must receive it prior
to the close of business on May 29, 2012.

Voting by Telephone or Internet. A registered stockholder may vote shares until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight

Time on May 29, 2012 by calling the toll-free number indicated on the proxy card and following the recorded
instructions or by accessing the website indicated on the proxy card and following the instructions provided.
When a stockholder votes by telephone or Internet, his, her or its vote is recorded immediately.

Voting by Internet During the Annual Meeting. Instructions on how to attend and vote at the meeting are

described at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/mx. If a stockholder attends the Annual Meeting and votes his, her or
its shares during the meeting via the voting instructions described at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/mx, then any
previous votes that were submitted by the stockholder, whether by Internet, telephone or mail, will be superseded by
the vote that such stockholder casts during the Annual Meeting. Further, if the shares are held of record by a broker and
a stockholder wishes to vote at the Annual Meeting, he, she or it must obtain a proxy issued in his, her or its name from
the record holder in accordance with the materials and instructions for voting provided by his, her or its broker.

Voting by “Street Name” Stockholders. If stockholders hold shares in “street name,” then those stockholders

may vote in accordance with the materials and instructions for voting the shares provided by their broker. If
“street name” stockholders wish to vote shares at the Annual Meeting, then they must obtain proxies from their
broker in order to vote their shares at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the materials and instructions for
voting provided by his, her or its broker. If a “street name” stockholder does not vote by proxy or otherwise give
voting instructions to their broker, such shares will not be voted by the broker for Proposals One, Two or Three
at the Annual Meeting.

Changing Votes. A stockholder may change his, her or its vote at any time before it is voted at the Annual
Meeting by (1) delivering a proxy revocation or another duly executed proxy bearing a later date to MagnaChip
Semiconductor Corporation, c/o MagnaChip Semiconductor, Inc., 20400 Stevens Creek Boulevard, Suite 370,
Cupertino, CA 95014, Attention: Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, which revocation or
later-dated proxy is received by us prior to the close of business on May 29, 2012; (2) voting again by telephone
or Internet in the manner described above prior to 11:59 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on May 29, 2012; or
(3) attending the Annual Meeting and voting via the Internet during the meeting using the procedures described
at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/mx. Attending the Annual Meeting via the Internet will not revoke a
proxy unless the stockholder actually votes via the Internet during the meeting. “Street name” stockholders who
want to revoke or change their votes after returning voting instructions to their broker may do so in accordance
with the materials and instructions provided by their broker or by contacting such broker to effect the revocation
or change of vote.

How can I find out the results of the Annual Meeting?

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. We will publish final results in a

Current Report on Form 8-K that we expect to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission within four
business days of the Annual Meeting. After the Form 8-K is filed, you may obtain a copy by visiting the investor
relations section of our website or www.magnachip.com or by writing to MagnaChip Semiconductor
Corporation, c/o MagnaChip Semiconductor, Inc., 20400 Stevens Creek Boulevard, Suite 370, Cupertino,
CA 95014, Attention: Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary.

PROPOSAL ONE

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

MagnaChip’s Board of Directors is divided into three classes (Class I, Class II and Class III). At each
annual stockholders’ meeting, one class of directors stands for election. The elected directors are elected to three-
year terms, with each director of each class to serve until such director’s successor is elected and qualified or
until such director’s earlier resignation or removal. The exact number of members on the Board is currently
seven and may be fixed by MagnaChip’s Board of Directors from time to time by resolution of a majority of the
total number of authorized directors, or by amendment of the Bylaws by the affirmative vote of 66-2/3% of the
outstanding voting stock of the Company, voting together as a single class.

At the Annual Meeting, two Class I directors are to be elected to hold office for a term of three years and

Mr. R. Douglas Norby. Dr. Lee and Mr. Norby currently serve as directors, having been previously duly elected.
Information regarding the nominees and each continuing director is set forth below. Each of the nominees listed

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Director Independence

The Board of Directors reviews the independence of each director annually. In determining the

independence of our directors, our Board of Directors considered Section 303A of the listing standards of the
New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE, and broadly considered the materiality of each director’s relationship
with us. Based upon the foregoing criteria, our Board of Directors has determined that the following directors are
independent: Dr. Ilbok Lee, Mr. R. Douglas Norby and Mr. Nader Tavakoli.

The Board of Directors has determined that MagnaChip is a “controlled company” for the purposes of
Section 303A of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because more than 50% of the voting power for the election
of directors of MagnaChip is held by Avenue. As such, we rely on exemptions from the provisions of
Section 303A that would otherwise require the Company, among other things, to have a board of directors
composed of a majority of independent directors.

Board Meetings

The Board of Directors held four meetings during fiscal year 2011. All of the Directors attended at least
75% of the total meetings held by the Board of Directors and by all committees on which he served during fiscal
year 2011.

Attendance at Annual Meeting

The Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “Guidelines”) as currently in effect provides that all

directors shall make every effort to attend the Company’s annual meetings of stockholders.

Committees

The Board of Directors has three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee

and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, the Compensation

Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. These charters, as well as our Code of
Business Conduct and Ethics, are posted and available on our website at www.magnachip.com. The information
on or accessible through our website is not a part of or incorporated by reference in this proxy statement.

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee consists of Mr. Norby, as Chairman, Dr. Lee and Mr. Tavakoli. Our Board of
Directors has determined that Mr. Norby is an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of
Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act. Our Board of Directors has also determined that each of
Mr. Norby, Dr. Lee, and Mr. Tavakoli are “independent” as that term is defined in both Rule 303A of the NYSE
rules and Rule 10A-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. In making this determination, our Board of Directors
considered the relationships that Mr. Norby, Dr. Lee and Mr. Tavakoli have with our company and all other facts
and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including any
beneficial ownership of our equity. In addition, our Board of Directors has determined that the simultaneous
service by Mr. Norby on the audit committees of three other public companies does not impair his ability to
effectively serve on our audit committee. From the time of our initial public offering in March 2011 to March
2012, Mr. Klein, who is not an “independent” director within the meaning of the NYSE rules, served on the
Audit Committee pursuant to a twelve month phase-in exemption for newly public companies under the NYSE
rules. Mr. Klein resigned from the Audit Committee and was replaced by Dr. Lee in March 2012.

P

The Audit Committee held seven meetings in 2011. The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to
assist our Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by reviewing and reporting to the Board
on the integrity of the financial reports and other financial information provided by the Company to the public,
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and any other governmental regulatory body, and
on the Company’s compliance with other legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee is
responsible for the appointment, retention, review and oversight of the Company’s independent auditor, and
the review and oversight of the Company’s internal financial reporting, policies and processes. The Audit
Committee is also responsible for reviewing related party transactions, risk management, and legal and ethics
compliance.

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee consists of Dr. Lee and Messrs. Elkins and Tavakoli. Our Board of
Directors has determined that each of Dr. Lee and Mr. Tavakoli is “independent” under NYSE and SEC rules.
In making this determination, our Board of Directors considered the relationships that each of Dr. Lee and
Mr. Tavakoli has with our Company and all other facts and circumstances our Board of Directors deemed
relevant in determining his respective independence, including any beneficial ownership of our equity.
Because we are a “controlled company,” we rely on exemptions from the provisions of Section 303A of the
NYSE that would otherwise require the Company to have a Compensation Committee composed entirely of
independent directors.

The Compensation Committee held two meetings in 2011. The Compensation Committee has overall
responsibility for evaluating and approving our executive officer and director compensation plans, policies and
programs, as well as all equity-based compensation plans and policies.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consists of Dr. Lee and Messrs. Mulhern and

Norby. The Board has determined that each of Dr. Lee and Mr. Norby is independent under NYSE and SEC
rules. Because we are a “controlled company,” we rely on exemptions from the provisions of Section 303A of the
NYSE that would otherwise require the Company to have a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
composed entirely of independent directors.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee did not hold a meeting in 2011. The Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee identifies individuals qualified to become board members, recommends
director nominees, recommends board members for committee membership, develops and recommends corporate
governance principles and practices, oversees the evaluation of our Board of Directors and its committees and
formulates a description of the skills and attributes of desirable board members. The Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee will also consider candidates recommended by our stockholders so long as the proper
procedures are followed.

Our bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to nominate candidates for election as directors at an
annual meeting must provide timely notice of such nominations in writing. To be timely, a stockholder’s
notice generally must be received in writing at the Company’s offices at MagnaChip Semiconductor
Corporation, c/o MagnaChip Semiconductor, Inc., 20400 Stevens Creek Boulevard, Suite 370, Cupertino,
CA 95014, Attention: Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, not earlier than the close of
business on the 120th day, nor later than the close of business on the 90th day, prior to the first anniversary
of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting as first specified in the Company’s notice of meeting
(without regard to any postponements or adjournments of such meeting after such notice was first sent),
except that if no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the date of the annual meeting is more
than 30 days earlier or later than such anniversary date, notice by the stockholders to be timely must be

9

received not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the annual meeting or the
10th day following the date on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. A
stockholder’s notice must set forth, among other things,

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

the name and address of the stockholder who intends to make the nomination, and the names and
addresses of the beneficial owners, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is being made and of the
person or persons to be nominated;

a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the Company entitled to vote for
the election of Directors on the date of such notice and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the
meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice,

certain information regarding the ownership and other interests of the stockholder or such other
beneficial owner;

a description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder or such beneficial owner
and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which
the nomination or nominations are to be made by the stockholder;

a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other material monetary agreements,
arrangements and understandings during the past three years, and any other material relationships,
between or among such stockholder and such other beneficial owner, if any, and their respective
affiliates and associates and each proposed nominee;

certain other information regarding each nominee proposed by such stockholder as would be required
to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the SEC; and

the consent of each nominee to serve as a director of the Company if so elected.

A stockholder must also comply with all other applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act with respect to
matters relating to nominations of candidates for directors. The preceding is a summary of the stockholder
nomination procedures set forth in our bylaws as currently in effect, and we refer our stockholders to the full text
of Section 2.15 and such other applicable provisions of our bylaws as in effect from time to time for the specific
requirements of such director nomination procedures by stockholders. The Company did not receive any
stockholder nominations for director for this year’s Annual Meeting.

In addition to the formal procedures set forth in our bylaws for the nomination of directors by stockholders,

the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has adopted a Policy Regarding Director Nominations
pursuant to which it may from time to time evaluate candidates for nomination as director that come to its
attention through incumbent directors, management, stockholders or third parties. The Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee may also, if it deems appropriate under the circumstances, engage a third-party search
firm to assist in identifying qualified candidates. Such informal recommendations by stockholders should be
directed to the attention of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee as set forth below under
“—Communications with Directors.”

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks director candidates who possess high quality
business and professional experience, possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values,
and who have an inquisitive and objective perspective and mature judgment. Director candidates must also be
committed to representing the best interests of our stockholders and have sufficient time available in the
judgment of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to perform all Board and committee
responsibilities. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has no formal policy on diversity in
identifying potential director candidates, but does regularly assess the needs of the Board for various skills,
background and business experience in determining if the Board requires additional candidates for nomination.

10

Board Leadership Structure

The Guidelines as currently in effect state that the Board of Directors shall elect its Chairman and appoint

the Company’s Chief Executive Officer according to its view of what is best for the Company at any given time.
The Board does not believe there should be a fixed rule as to whether the offices of Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer should be vested in the same person or two different people, or whether the Chairman should
be an employee of the Company or should be elected from among the non-employee directors. The needs of the
Company and the individuals available to play these roles may dictate different outcomes at different times, and
the Board believes that retaining flexibility in these decisions is in the best interest of the Company.

Currently, Sang Park serves as both the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer.
The Board has determined that its current leadership structure with Mr. Park serving in both roles is beneficial
because we have a single leader for our Company and he is seen by our customers, business partners, investors
and other stakeholders as providing strong leadership for the Company and in our industry. The Board may,
however, make changes to its leadership structure in the future as it deems appropriate.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and
employees. We will provide a copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics without charge to any person
upon written request made to our Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary at MagnaChip
Semiconductor Corporation, c/o MagnaChip Semiconductor, Inc., 20400 Stevens Creek Boulevard, Suite 370,
Cupertino, CA 95014. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is also available on our website at
www.magnachip.com. We will disclose any waivers or amendments to the provisions of our Code of Business
Conduct and Ethics on our website.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

Sang Park was the Chairman of our board of directors and Chief Executive Officer and Tae Young Hwang,
Brent Rowe, Heung Kyu Kim, Margaret Sakai, Tae Jong Lee and John McFarland were each officers during our
Chapter 11 reorganization proceedings in 2009. R. Douglas Norby was one of our directors until October 2008.
Mr. Norby was also an officer of Novalux, Inc., a private company, which filed a voluntary petition for
reorganization under Chapter 11 in March 2003, approximately one year after Mr. Norby’s departure from
Novalux, Inc.

Assessment of Risk

Our Board of Directors believes that our compensation programs are designed such that they will not
incentivize unnecessary risk-taking. The base salary component of our compensation program is a fixed amount
and does not depend on performance. Our cash incentive program takes into account multiple factors, thus
diversifying the risk associated with any single performance factor, and we believe it does not incentivize our
executive officers to focus exclusively on short-term outcomes. Our equity awards are limited by the terms of our
equity plans to a fixed maximum amount specified in the plan, and are subject to vesting to align the long-term
interests of our executive officers with those of our equityholders.

Report of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with our management and Samil

PricewaterhouseCoopers, our independent registered public accounting firm, our audited financial statements
contained in our Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Audit Committee
has also discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by
the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1 AU
Section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting and Oversight Board in Rule 3200T.

11

The Audit Committee has received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from Samil
PricewaterhouseCoopers required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board regarding Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning
independence, and has discussed with Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers its independence.

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of

Directors (and the Board of Directors subsequently approved the recommendation) that the audited financial
statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 filed
with the SEC.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the members of the Compensation Committee has been an officer or employee of our company

during the last fiscal year. During 2011, decisions regarding executive officer compensation were made by our
Compensation Committee. Mr. Park participated in deliberations of our Compensation Committee regarding the
determination of compensation of our executive officers other than himself. None of our executive officers
currently serves, or in the past has served, as a member of the board of directors or the compensation committee
of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our board of directors.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, or the Committee, has overall responsibility for

administering our compensation program for our “named executive officers.” The Committee’s responsibilities consist
of evaluating, approving and monitoring our executive officer and director compensation plans, policies and programs,
as well as each of our equity-based compensation plans and policies. Prior to 2010, compensation decisions were made
by the entire board of directors and for the discussion that follows, references to the Committee during such period
refer to the entire board. For 2011, our named executive officers who continue to serve as executive officers were:

y
x
o
r
P

•

•

•

Sang Park, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer;

Tae Young Hwang, Chief Operating Officer and President;

Brent Rowe, Executive Vice President, Worldwide Sales;

• Margaret Sakai, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; and

•

John McFarland, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary.

The Committee seeks to establish total compensation for executive officers that is fair, reasonable and

competitive. The Committee evaluates our compensation packages to ensure that:

•

•

•

we maintain our ability to attract and retain superior executives in critical positions;

our executives are incentivized and rewarded for aggressive corporate growth, achievement of long-term
corporate objectives and individual performance that meets or exceeds our expectations without
encouraging unnecessary risk-taking; and

compensation provided to critical executives remains competitive relative to the compensation paid to
similarly situated executives of companies in the semiconductor industry.

The Committee believes that the most effective executive compensation packages align executives’ interests with
those of our stockholders by rewarding performance that exceeds specific annual, long-term and strategic goals that are
intended to improve stockholder value. These objectives include the achievement of financial performance goals and
progress on projects that our board of directors anticipates will lead to future growth, as discussed more fully below.

The information set forth below in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the Committee’s

general philosophy and historical approach.

Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions

For named executive officers other than our chief executive officer, we have historically sought and
considered input from our chief executive officer in making determinations regarding executive compensation.
Our chief executive officer annually reviews the performance of our other named executive officers. Our chief
executive officer subsequently presents conclusions and recommendations regarding such officers, including
proposed salary adjustments and incentive amounts, to the Committee. The Committee then takes this
information into account when it makes final decisions regarding any adjustments or awards.

The review of performance by the Committee and our chief executive officer of other executive officers is

both an objective and subjective assessment of each executive’s contribution to our performance, leadership
qualities, strengths and weaknesses and the individual’s performance relative to goals set by the Committee or
our chief executive officer, as applicable. The Committee and our chief executive officer do not systematically
assign a weight to the factors, and may, in their discretion, consider or disregard any one factor which, in their
sole discretion, is important to or irrelevant for a particular executive.

15

The Committee’s annual determinations regarding executive compensation are subject to the terms of the
respective service agreements between us and the named executive officers (as set forth in more detail below). In
addition to the annual reviews, the Committee also typically considers compensation changes upon a named
executive officer’s promotion or other change in job responsibility. Neither our chief executive officer nor any of
our other executives participates in deliberations relating to their own compensation.

Role of Compensation Consultants

The Committee has the authority to retain the services of third-party executive compensation specialists in

connection with the establishment of cash and equity compensation and related policies. We did not retain a
compensation consultant in 2009, 2010 or 2011, and we have not retained a compensation consultant for 2012.

Timing of Compensation Decisions

At the end of each fiscal year, our chief executive officer will review the performance of the other executive

officers and present his conclusions and recommendations to the Committee. At that time and throughout the
year, the Committee will also evaluate the performance of our chief executive officer, which is measured in
substantial part against our consolidated financial performance. In January of the following fiscal year, the
Committee will then assess the overall functioning of our compensation plans against our goals, and determine
whether any changes to the allocation of compensation elements, or the structure or level of any particular
compensation element, are warranted.

In connection with this process, our Committee generally establishes the elements of its performance-based

cash bonus plan for the upcoming year. With respect to newly hired employees, our practice is typically to approve
equity grants at the first meeting of the Committee following such employee’s hire date. We do not have any
program, plan or practice to time equity award grants in coordination with the release of material non-public
information. From time to time, additional equity awards may be granted to executive officers during the fiscal year.

Elements of Compensation

In making decisions regarding the pay of the named executive officers, the Committee looks to set a total

compensation package for each officer that will retain high-quality talent and motivate executives to achieve the
goals set by our board of directors. Our 2011 compensation package was composed of the following elements:

•

•

•

•

•

annual base salary;

short-term cash incentives;

long-term equity incentives;

a benefits package that is generally available to all of our employees; and

expatriate and other executive benefits.

Determination of Amount of Each Element of Compensation

General Background

The Committee seeks to establish a total cash compensation package for our named executive officers that is

competitive with the compensation reflected in compensation data for similarly-situated executives in the peer
group reviewed by the Committee, subject to adjustments based on each executive’s experience and performance.
Historically, based on our review of industry specific survey data and the professional and market experience of our
Committee members, we measured total cash compensation for our named executive officers against cash
compensation paid to executives at similarly situated companies which we determined to be our select peer group.
Base salaries for our named executive officers were benchmarked to median levels for companies in the select peer
group, and were adjusted upward or downward for performance. Short-term cash incentives were put in place to
provide for opportunities that may result in higher than median levels of cash compensation as compared to our
select peer group if, and depending upon the extent to which, our performance and that of our named executive
officers exceeded expectations and the goals established by the Committee for the year in question.

Historically, our select peer group has included other major Korea-based semiconductor companies,
including Fairchild Korea, Dongbu Hitek, ChipPac Korea, Hynix Semiconductor, ASE Korea and Amkor
Technology Korea. In addition, we also reviewed compensation data from Mercer Korea, an independent
compensation consultant, which surveyed the companies listed below, to assess how compensation for our select
peer group related to compensation paid to executives in a broader range of technology companies.

The Committee makes annual determinations regarding cash incentive compensation based on our annual
operating plan, which we adopt in the December preceding each fiscal year. The determination takes into account
our expected performance in the coming fiscal year. The Committee makes all equity compensation decisions for
our officers based on existing compensation arrangements for other executives at our company with the same
level of responsibility and based on a review of our select peer group with a view to maintaining internal
consistency and parity.

Equity awards are not tied to base salary or cash incentive amounts and will constitute lesser or greater
proportions of total compensation depending on the fair value of the awards. The Committee, relying on the
professional and market experience of our Committee members, generally seeks to set equity awards at median
levels of equity compensation at our select peer group companies. The Committee does not apply a formula or
assign relative weight in making its determination. Instead, it makes a subjective determination after considering
all information collectively.

The Committee may approve additional cash incentive payments or equity compensation grants from time

to time during the year in its discretion.

Base Salary

Base salary is the guaranteed element of an employee’s annual cash compensation. Changes in base salary

may be approved by the Committee for an executive if the median levels of base salary compensation for
similarly-situated executives in our select peer group have changed, and may be further adjusted based upon the
employee’s long-term performance, skill set and the value of that skill. The Committee evaluates the
performance of each named executive officer on an annual basis based on the accomplishment of performance
objectives that were established at the beginning of the prior fiscal year as well as its own subjective evaluation
of the officer’s performance. In making its evaluation, the Committee makes a subjective qualitative assessment
of the officer’s contribution to our performance during the preceding year, including leadership, success in
attaining particular goals of a division for which that officer has responsibility, our overall financial performance
and such other criteria as the Committee may deem relevant, including input from our Chief Executive Officer.
The Committee then makes a subjective decision regarding any changes in base salary based on these factors and
the data from our select peer group. The Committee does not systematically assign weights to any of the factors it
considers, and may, in its discretion, ignore any factors or deem any one factor to have greater importance for a
particular executive officer. Base salary adjustments generally take effect in the middle of our fiscal year.

The current base salaries of the Company’s named executive officers compare to the median of the

Company’s select peer group as follows: Mr. Park is slightly above, Mr. Hwang and Mr. McFarland are slightly
below, and Ms. Sakai and Mr. Rowe are generally in line. Our employees, including our executive officers,
voluntarily accepted a 20% reduction in base salary from 2008 levels from January to June 2009, as part of
austerity measures implemented to assist in our recovery. Mr. Park voluntarily accepted a 40% reduction in base
salary from January to March 2009, and a 20% reduction from April to June 2009. In June 2009, our board of
directors approved a one-time payment of 10% of base salary paid from April to June 2009 to all employees who
voluntarily accepted pay reductions earlier in the year, which group included all of our named executive officers.
This amount is reported as salary in the Summary Compensation Table below. We restored salaries to 2008
levels in July 2009. In December 2009, as a reward for the successful completion of our reorganization
proceedings, our board of directors approved a one-time payment of 30% of the monthly base salary to all
employees who voluntarily accepted pay reductions earlier in the year, which group included all of our named
executive officers. The amount paid to named executive officers for 2009 are reported as bonus in the Summary
Compensation Table below. The Committee also granted additional special discretionary incentives to
Mr. Hwang, Mr. Rowe, Ms. Sakai and Mr. McFarland in 2009, as described in more detail below. No additional
special discretionary incentives were granted to our named executive officers in 2010 or 2011.

18

Cash Incentives

Short-term cash incentives comprise a significant portion of the total target compensation package and are
designed to reward executives for their contributions to meeting and exceeding our goals and to recognize and
reward our executives in achieving these goals. Incentives are designed as a percentage of base salary and are
awarded based on individual performance and our achievement of the annual, long-term and strategic
quantitative goals set by our Committee.

Given our financial position at the beginning of 2009, we did not modify the annual targets for our cash
incentive plans for 2009. As a result, our short-term cash incentive plan was effectively suspended for the year.
In December 2009, our board of directors implemented a cash incentive plan effective as of January 1, 2010,
which we call the Profit Sharing Plan. Each of our employees is eligible to participate in the Profit Sharing Plan,
and our board of directors intends for the Profit Sharing Plan to incentivize our named executive officers, officers
and employees to exceed expectations throughout our entire fiscal year. The Committee administers the Profit
Sharing Plan.

y
x
o
r
P

Under the Profit Sharing Plan, the Committee will review our business plan in December of each year and

determine an annual consolidated Adjusted EBITDA target, or the Base Target, for the upcoming fiscal year and
set the targeted amount to be awarded to our named executive officers and employees, or the Profit Share, for
meeting the Base Target and for achievement in excess of the Base Target.

The Base Target is calculated as a percentage of our forecasted gross annual revenue for the upcoming fiscal

year. We determine our revenue forecast by looking at several factors, including existing orders from our
customers, quarterly and annual forecasts from our customers, our product roadmap and how it corresponds with
our projected customer needs, and the overall industry forecasts for the semiconductor market. The Committee’s
goal is to set a Base Target that is difficult but not unreasonable to achieve. To determine the percentage of gross
annual revenue for purposes of setting the Base Target, the Committee, in consultation with our board of
directors, first determines a range of Adjusted EBITDA growth and gross margin that is competitive based upon
the select peer group and will ensure that we build stockholder value, then sets a percentage such that the
forecasted Adjusted EBITDA growth and gross margin is within that range. See “Item 7. Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Additional Business Metrics
Evaluated by Management” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 for
a discussion of how we define and why we use Adjusted EBITDA.

Each named executive officer receives as a Profit Share a set percentage of their annual base salary once the

Base Target is achieved. Executives with target annual incentive opportunities set forth in their employment
agreements will be eligible to receive the target percentage set forth in such agreements. In the event we exceed
the Base Target, we may pay to our named executive officers (together with all of our eligible employees) their
pro rata portion of an additional Profit Share of 25% of our annual consolidated Adjusted EBITDA in excess of
the Base Target. For 2011, Mr. Park received a Profit Share of $210,634, Mr. Hwang received a Profit Share of
$101,482, Mr. Rowe received a Profit Share of $93,248, Ms. Sakai received a Profit Share of $89,748 and
Mr. McFarland received a Profit Share of $51,158.

We pay the Profit Share during the normal pay period in the January following the conclusion of each fiscal

year for which the Profit Share is calculated, and the Profit Share is only payable to those executives who have
been employed by us during the entire fiscal year for which the Profit Share is calculated and who are employed
by us on the Profit Share payment date, provided that the Profit Share is payable pro rata to any named executive
officers who begin their employment during the fiscal year for which the Profit Share is calculated.

The Committee retains the sole discretion to (i) authorize the payment of the Profit Share in December of

the relevant fiscal year when the Committee believes the Base Target will be achieved, (ii) pay Profit Shares
when we achieve slightly less than the Base Target, and (iii) make interim Profit Share payments during the
fiscal year. In addition to the Profit Sharing Plan, the Committee retains the right to grant discretionary incentives

19

to our named executive officers as a reward for extraordinary performance. For example, Mr. Hwang, Ms. Sakai
and Mr. McFarland were paid a discretionary incentive in December 2009 in recognition of their role in our
successful reorganization proceedings. These amounts were not based upon any numerical or formulaic factors,
but rather were determined by the Committee based upon a subjective assessment of their respective individual
contributions and are reported in the Summary Compensation Table in the column labeled “Bonus.”

For 2010, the implementation of the Profit Sharing Plan was modified pursuant to the terms of the Profit

Sharing Plan to provide our employees with an opportunity to share in our success earlier in the fiscal year than
under the existing Profit Sharing Plan. In addition to setting the Base Target, two interim targets for our first and
second fiscal quarters were set. We made Profit Share payments in the first normal pay period following the
conclusion of each of our first two fiscal quarters. The total Profit Share payable for meeting the Base Target for
2010 was capped for each named executive officer at his or her respective percentage of annual base salary, such
that the amount of any Profit Share paid for 2010 performance after the end of 2010 was offset by the Profit
Share paid during 2010 for reaching each of the quarterly targets. In addition, for 2010, our named executive
officers were not eligible to earn the additional Profit Share of 25% of our annual consolidated Adjusted
EBITDA in excess of the Base Target even though we exceeded the Base Target. As a result, for 2010, our
named executive officers were only entitled to receive a cash incentive equal to the Profit Share paid to each
named executive officer disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table in the column labeled “Bonus.” In 2010,
under the Profit Sharing Plan, we paid bonuses to our named executive officers in April and July 2010 and in
January 2011.

For 2011, the implementation of the Profit Sharing Plan was modified pursuant to the terms of the Profit
Sharing Plan to set an interim target that was paid during the first normal pay period following the conclusion of
our second fiscal quarter of 2011. In addition, our named executive officers (and all of our other employees) were
not eligible to earn the additional Profit Share of 25% of our annual consolidated Adjusted EBITDA in excess of
the Base Target even if we exceeded the Base Target or the interim target. In 2011, under the Profit Sharing Plan,
we paid bonuses to our named executive officers in July 2011 but not in January 2012.

Equity Compensation

In addition to cash incentives, we offer equity incentives as a way to enhance the link between the creation

of stockholder value and executive incentive compensation and to give our executives appropriate motivation and
rewards for achieving increases in enterprise value. Under our 2009 Common Unit Plan, our board of directors
granted options to acquire MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC common units and restricted unit bonus awards.
Awards under our 2009 Common Unit Plan were converted into options for common stock and restricted
common stock of MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation upon our corporate conversion. Such options vest in
installments over three years following grant, with approximately one-third of the restricted unit awards vested at
grant and the remainder vesting in two subsequent annual installments, as set forth in more detail below.

Under our 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, which replaced the 2009 Common Unit Plan immediately following

our corporate conversion, the Committee may grant participants stock options, stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and units, and other stock-based and cash-based
awards. Stock options granted under the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan generally vest over three years following
grant, with thirty-four percent of the common stock vesting and becoming exercisable on the first anniversary of
grant date and eight or nine percent of the common stock subject to the options vesting on completion of each
three-month period thereafter. In granting equity awards, the Committee may establish any conditions or
restrictions it deems appropriate. Stock options and stock appreciation rights must have exercise prices at least
equal to the fair market value of the stock at the time of their grant pursuant to the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan.
The fair market value of the stock at the time of grant will generally be the closing price of a share of stock as
quoted on the national or regional securities exchange or quotation system constituting the primary market for the
stock on the date any grant is made. Prior to the exercise of a stock option or stock appreciation or settlement of
an award denominated in units, the holder has no rights as a stockholder with respect to the stock subject to the
award, including voting rights and the right to receive dividends. Participants receiving restricted stock awards

20

are stockholders and have both voting rights and the right to receive dividends, except that dividends paid on
unvested shares may remain subject to forfeiture until vested. Award vesting ceases upon termination of
employment, and vested options and stock appreciation rights remain exercisable only for a limited period
following such termination.

The Committee considers granting additional equity compensation in the event of new employment, a

promotion or change in job responsibility or a change in median levels of equity compensation for similarly-
situated executives at companies in our select peer group or in its discretion to reward or incentivize individual
officers. The option award levels vary among participants based on their job grade and position. The Committee
generally seeks to award equity compensation at levels consistent with the median levels for executives at
companies in our select peer group, and will also make subjective determinations regarding adjustments to award
amounts in light of factors such as the available pool, individual performance and role of executives. For
example, the Committee may adjust the size of an award for an individual executive above the option award level
for his or her position if the Committee determines that the executive has provided exceptional performance, or
may increase the option award level for a position above the median level reflected in the select peer group if the
position is considered by the Committee to be more critical to our long-term success. The Committee will
generally maintain substantially equivalent award levels for executives at equivalent job grades. Stock option
awards are not tied to base salary or cash incentive amounts.

y
x
o
r
P

As a result of our reorganization proceedings, all previously outstanding common and preferred units and

options held by our named executive officers were cancelled. In December 2009, we granted new options to our
executives with the option award amounts generally determined based upon the median levels of our select peer
group. Thirty-four percent of the common units subject to the options vested and became exercisable on the first
anniversary of grant date, with eight or nine percent of the common units subject to the options vesting on
completion of each three-month period thereafter. In December 2009, in recognition of services provided in
guiding us through our reorganization proceedings, our board of directors also granted each of our current named
executive officers a restricted unit bonus. The amount of the restricted unit bonuses were not based upon any
numerical or formulaic factors, nor based upon any comparative peer group, data or the number of options
granted, but rather were determined based upon our board of directors’ subjective assessment of individual
contributions to the successful completion of the reorganization proceedings. We granted restricted unit bonuses
in order to provide our executives with an equity incentive with a built-in gain equal to the value of the units as
of the date of grant while still incentivizing them to contribute toward increasing our enterprise value. See
“—Grant of Plan-Based Awards” below for information regarding the number and value of units granted to each
named executive officer. Thirty-four percent of each restricted unit bonus vested upon grant, with the remaining
portion vesting in equal installments on the first and second anniversary of the grant date. No equity incentives
were granted to our named executive officers in 2010 or 2011.

Upon the recommendation of our board of directors or chief executive officer, or otherwise, the Committee

may in the future consider granting additional performance-based equity incentives.

Perquisites and Other Benefits

We provide the named executive officers with perquisites and other benefits, including expatriate benefits,

that the Committee believes are reasonable and consistent with our overall compensation program to better
enable us to attract and retain superior employees for key positions. Generally, perquisite are determined based
upon what the Committee considers to be the most customary perquisites offered by our select peer group and are
not based upon a median cost for specific perquisites or for the perquisites in aggregate. The Committee
determines the level and types of expatriate benefits for the executive officers based on local market surveys
taken by our human resources group. These surveys are not limited to our select peer group, but include a broad
range of non-Korea based companies with significant operations in Korea. Attributed costs of the personal
benefits for the named executive officers are as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table below.

21

Mr. Park, Ms. Sakai and Mr. McFarland were expatriates during all of 2011 and received expatriate benefits

commensurate with market practice in Korea. These benefits, which were determined on an individual basis,
included housing allowances, relocation allowances, insurance premiums, reimbursement for the use of a car,
home leave flights, living expenses, tax equalization payments and tax advisory services, each as we deemed
appropriate.

In addition, pursuant to the Employee Retirement Benefit Security Act, certain executive officers resident in

Korea with one or more years of service are entitled to severance benefits upon the termination of their
employment for any reason. For purposes of this section, we call this benefit “statutory severance.” The base
statutory severance is approximately one month of base salary per year of service. Mr. Hwang, Ms. Sakai and
Mr. McFarland accrue statutory severance.

MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC 2009 Common Unit Plan

Following our emergence from our reorganization proceedings, in December 2009, our board of directors
adopted, and our equityholders approved, the MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC 2009 Common Unit Plan, which
we refer to as the 2009 Plan. The 2009 Plan provided for the grant of nonstatutory options, restricted unit bonus
and purchase right awards, and deferred unit awards to employees and consultants of our company and our

26

subsidiaries and to members of our board of directors. However, only options and restricted unit bonus awards
were granted under the 2009 Plan. Subject to adjustment in the event of certain changes in capital structure, the
maximum aggregate number of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC common units available for grant under the
2009 Plan was 30,000,000. Units subject to awards that expired, were forfeited or otherwise terminated would
have been available again for grant under the 2009 Plan.

In connection with our corporate conversion, MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation assumed the rights

and obligations of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC under the 2009 Plan and converted MagnaChip
Semiconductor LLC common unit options and restricted common units outstanding under the 2009 Plan into
options to acquire a number of shares of our common stock and shares of restricted common stock at a ratio of
eight-for-one on substantially equivalent terms and conditions. Based upon MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC’s
common units outstanding as of December 31, 2010, and after giving effect to the corporate conversion, there
would have been outstanding under the 2009 Plan options to purchase 1,957,760 shares of common stock, at a
weighted average exercise price of $6.33 per share. The 2009 Plan terminated immediately following our
corporate conversion, and no additional options or other equity awards may be granted under the 2009 Plan.
However, options granted under the 2009 Plan prior to its termination will remain outstanding until they are
either exercised or expire.

y
x
o
r
P

The 2009 Plan is administered by the Committee. Subject to the provisions of the 2009 Plan, the Committee

determined in its discretion the persons to whom and the times at which awards were granted, the sizes of such
awards, and all of their terms and conditions. All awards were evidenced by a written agreement between us and
the holder of the award. The Committee has the authority to construe and interpret the terms of the 2009 Plan and
awards granted under it.

In the event of a change in control of our company, the vesting of all outstanding awards held by

participants whose employment has not previously terminated will accelerate in full. In addition, the Committee
has the authority to require that outstanding awards be assumed or replaced with substantially equivalent awards
by a successor corporation or to cancel the outstanding awards in exchange for a payment in cash or other
property equal to the fair market value of restricted units or the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the units
subject to an option over the exercise price per unit of such option.

2011 Equity Incentive Plan

Our 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2011 Plan, was approved by our board of directors and our
stockholders in March 2010. We amended and restated the 2011 Plan in February 2011, and our stockholders
approved the amendment in March 2011 to reflect that it became effective in 2011 upon our corporate
conversion. 890,300 shares of our common stock, or the total number of shares of common stock (as adjusted by
the conversion ratio in the corporate conversion) remaining available for grant upon its termination immediately
following the corporate conversion, were authorized and reserved.

As of December 31, 2011, there were outstanding under the 2011 Plan options to purchase 2,008,960 shares

of common stock, at a weighted average exercise price of $6.79 per share. As of December 31, 2011, 752,564
shares of our common stock remained available for issuance under the 2011 Plan. This reserve automatically
increased on January 1, 2012 and will automatically increase each subsequent anniversary through 2021, by an
amount equal to the smaller of 2% of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the
immediately preceding December 31 or an amount determined by our board of directors. The number of shares
authorized for issuance under the 2011 Plan will also be increased from time to time by up to that number of
shares of common stock remaining subject to options and restricted stock awards outstanding under the 2009
Plan at the time of its termination immediately following the corporate conversion that expire or terminate or are
forfeited for any reason after the effective date of the 2011 Plan, subject to a cap of 1,412,352 shares.
Appropriate adjustments will be made in the number of authorized shares and other numerical limits in the 2011

27

Plan and in outstanding awards to prevent dilution or enlargement of participants’ rights in the event of a stock
split or other change in our capital structure. Shares subject to awards granted under our 2011 Plan which expire,
are repurchased, or are cancelled or forfeited will again become available for issuance under the 2011 Plan. The
shares available will not be reduced by awards settled in cash. Shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding
obligations will not again become available for grant. The gross number of shares issued upon the exercise of
stock appreciation rights or options exercised by means of a net exercise or by tender of previously owned shares
will be deducted from the shares available under the 2011 Plan.

Awards may be granted under the 2011 Plan to our employees, including officers, directors, or consultants
or those of any present or future parent or subsidiary corporation or other affiliated entity. While we may grant
incentive stock options only to employees, we may grant nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock purchase rights or bonuses, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units and
cash-based awards or other stock-based awards to any eligible participant.

The 2011 Plan is administered by the Committee. Subject to the provisions of the 2011 Plan, the Committee

determines in its discretion the persons to whom and the times at which awards are granted, the sizes of such
awards, and all of their terms and conditions. All awards are evidenced by a written agreement between us and
the holder of the award. The Committee has the authority to construe and interpret the terms of the 2011 Plan and
awards granted under it.

In the event of a change in control as described in the 2011 Plan, the acquiring or successor entity may
assume or continue all or any awards outstanding under the 2011 Plan or substitute substantially equivalent
awards. Any awards which are not assumed or continued in connection with a change in control or are not
exercised or settled prior to the change in control will terminate effective as of the time of the change in control.
The Committee may provide for the acceleration of vesting of any or all outstanding awards upon such terms and
to such extent as it determines, except that the vesting of all awards held by members of our board of directors
who are not employees will automatically be accelerated in full. The 2011 Plan also authorizes the Committee, in
its discretion and without the consent of any participant, to cancel each or any outstanding award denominated in
shares upon a change in control in exchange for a payment to the participant with respect to each share subject to
the cancelled award of an amount equal to the excess of the consideration to be paid per share of common stock
in the change in control transaction over the exercise price per share, if any, under the award.

2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Our 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the Purchase Plan, was approved by our board of directors in
March 2010. Our board of directors amended and restated the Purchase Plan in February 2011 to reflect that the
Purchase Plan would become effective in 2011 upon the commencement of the MagnaChip Corporation IPO.
The Purchase Plan was approved by our stockholders in March 2011 and became effective upon the
commencement of the MagnaChip Corporation IPO. 789,890 shares were initially authorized and reserved for
sale under the Purchase Plan.

As of December 31, 2011, 789,304 shares of our common stock remained reserved for sale under the
Purchase Plan. In addition, the Purchase Plan provides for an automatic annual increase in the number of shares
available for issuance under the plan on January 1 of each year beginning in 2012 and continuing through and
including January 1, 2021 equal to the lesser of (i) 1% of our then issued and outstanding shares of common
stock on the immediately preceding December 31, (ii) 789,980 shares, or (iii) a number of shares as our board
may determine. Appropriate adjustments will be made in the number of authorized shares and in outstanding
purchase rights to prevent dilution or enlargement of participants’ rights in the event of a stock split or other
change in our capital structure. Shares subject to purchase rights which expire or are canceled will again become
available for issuance under the Purchase Plan.

Our employees and employees of any parent or subsidiary corporation designated by the Committee are
eligible to participate in the Purchase Plan if they are customarily employed by us for more than 20 hours per week

28

and more than five months in any calendar year. However, an employee may not be granted a right to purchase
stock under the Purchase Plan if: (i) the employee immediately after such grant would own stock possessing 5% or
more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of our capital stock or of any parent or subsidiary
corporation, or (ii) the employee’s rights to purchase stock under all of our employee stock purchase plans would
accrue at a rate that exceeds $25,000 in value for each calendar year of participation in such plans.

The Purchase Plan is implemented through a series of sequential offering periods, generally three months in
duration beginning on the first trading days of February, May, August, and November each year. The Committee
is authorized to establish additional or alternative concurrent, sequential or overlapping offering periods and
offering periods having a different duration or different starting or ending dates, provided that no offering period
may have a duration exceeding 27 months.

y
x
o
r
P

Amounts accumulated for each participant, generally through payroll deductions, are credited toward the
purchase of shares of our common stock at the end of each offering period at a price generally equal to 95% of
the fair market value of our common stock on the purchase date. Prior to commencement of an offering period,
the Committee is authorized to change the purchase price discount for that offering period, but the purchase price
may not be less than 85% of the lower of the fair market value of our common stock at the beginning of the
offering period or on the purchase date.

No participant may purchase under the Purchase Plan in any calendar year shares having a value of more
than $25,000 measured by the fair market value per share of our common stock on the first day of the applicable
offering period. Prior to the beginning of any offering period, the Committee may alter the maximum number of
shares that may be purchased by any participant during the offering period or specify a maximum aggregate
number of shares that may be purchased by all participants in the offering period. If insufficient shares remain
available under the plan to permit all participants to purchase the number of shares to which they would
otherwise be entitled, the Committee will make a pro rata allocation of the available shares. Any amounts
withheld from participants’ compensation in excess of the amounts used to purchase shares will be refunded,
without interest.

In the event of a change in control, an acquiring or successor corporation may assume our rights and
obligations under the Purchase Plan. If the acquiring or successor corporation does not assume such rights and
obligations, then the purchase date of the offering periods then in progress will be accelerated to a date prior to
the change in control as specified by the Committee, but the number of shares subject to outstanding purchase
rights shall not be adjusted.

Agreements with Executives and Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

We are obligated to make certain payments to our named executive officers upon termination or a change in

control as further described below.

Sang Park. We are party to an Amended and Restated Services Agreement, dated as of May 8, 2008, with

Mr. Park pursuant to which he serves as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Under the agreement,
Mr. Park was to receive an initial base salary of $450,000 and a one-time performance bonus payment of
$900,000. Mr. Park is also entitled to an annual incentive award of 100% of his annual salary based upon the
achievement of performance goals, provided that the actual bonus paid may be higher or lower dependent on
over- or under-achievement of his performance goals, as determined by the Committee. Mr. Park is entitled to
customary employee benefits and certain expatriate, repatriation and international service benefits, including
relocation benefits, tax equalization benefits, the cost of housing accommodations and expenses, transportation
benefits and repatriation benefits. Pursuant to the agreement Mr. Park was granted options to purchase restricted
common units but they were subsequently terminated in connection with our reorganization proceedings. The
restated service agreement also contains customary non-competition and non-solicitation covenants lasting two
and three years, respectively, from the date of termination of employment and confidentiality covenants of
unlimited duration.

29

If Mr. Park’s employment is terminated without Cause or if he resigns for good reason, Mr. Park is entitled

to receive (i) payment of all salary and benefits accrued up to the date of termination, (ii) payment of his then-
current base salary for twelve months, (iii) the annual incentive award to which Mr. Park would have been
entitled for the year in which his employment terminates, (iv) twelve months’ accelerated vesting on outstanding
equity awards and a twelve-month post-termination equity award exercise period, and (v) continued participation
for Mr. Park and his eligible dependents in our benefit plans for twelve months, including certain international
service benefits.

If such termination occurs within nine months of a change in control, Mr. Park is entitled to receive
(i) payment of all salary and benefits accrued and unpaid up to the date of termination, (ii) payment of his then-
current base salary for twenty-four months, (iii) the annual incentive award to which Mr. Park would have been
entitled for the year in which his employment terminates, (iv) two years’ accelerated vesting on outstanding
equity awards, other than awards granted pursuant to the 2009 Plan, which accelerate in full, (v) a twelve-month
post-termination equity award exercise period, and (vi) continued participation for Mr. Park and his eligible
dependents in our benefit plans for two years, including certain international service benefits.

The severance described above payable to Mr. Park upon his termination without Cause or in connection
with a change in control shall be reduced to the extent that we pay any statutory severance payments to Mr. Park
pursuant to the Korean Commercial Code or any other statute. As used in the agreement, the term “Cause” means
the termination of Mr. Park’s employment because of (i) a failure by Mr. Park to substantially perform his
customary duties (other than such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness);

pursuant to which he serves as our Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary. Under the

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control.

Termination. Our named executive officers are eligible to receive certain payments and benefits in
connection with certain service termination events pursuant to the terms of our employment agreements with
them, as further described under the section entitled “Agreements with Executives and Potential Payments Upon
Termination or Change in Control.” The terms “cause” and “resignation for good reason” used below have the
meanings given to them in the applicable agreements with us.

Change in Control. Mr. Park is entitled to receive certain payments and benefits in connection with a
change in control of our company pursuant to our employment agreement with him, as further described under
the section entitled “Agreements with Executives and Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in
Control.” In addition, in the event of a change in control of our company, the vesting of all outstanding awards
issued under the 2009 Plan held by participants whose employment has not previously terminated will accelerate
in full. In addition, the Committee has the authority to require that outstanding awards be assumed or replaced
with substantially equivalent awards by the successor corporation or to cancel the outstanding awards in
exchange for a payment in cash or other property equal to the fair market value of restricted units or the excess, if
any, of the fair market value of the units subject to an option over the exercise price per unit of such option. For
purposes of the foregoing, a “change in control” is generally defined as the acquisition by a person or entity of
more than 51% of the combined voting power of our then outstanding voting securities or a sale or transfer of all
or substantially all of our consolidated assets to a person or entity that is not our affiliate.

The following table presents our estimate of the dollar value of the payments and benefits payable to our
named executive officers upon the occurrence of the following events, assuming that each such event occurred on
December 31, 2011. The disclosure in the following table does not include:

any accrued benefits that were earned and payable as of December 31, 2011, including any short-term cash
incentive amounts earned by, or any discretionary bonus amounts payable to, the executive officer for 2011
performance; or

payments and benefits to the extent they are provided generally to all salaried employees and do not
discriminate in scope, terms or operation in favor of the named executive officers.

(1) Represents cash severance payments payable to our named executive officers pursuant to (i) our

employment agreements with them or, if greater, (iii) cash severance payments payable pursuant to the
Employee Retirement Benefit Security Act of Korea. Other than Mr. Rowe, who is entitled to a lump sum
cash severance payment, cash severance payments are paid monthly in accordance with our regular payroll

employment with us for any reason. See “—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Perquisites and Other
Benefits” for additional information.

benefits.

(3) Reflects the aggregate value of the accelerated vesting of the named executive officer’s unvested options.

With respect to options issued under our 2009 Plan outstanding as of December 31, 2011, the amounts were
calculated by multiplying (i) the number of outstanding options to purchase common stock subject to award
vesting on December 31, 2011 by (ii) the difference of the fair market value of our common stock as of
December 30, 2011, and the option exercise price for such options of $5.88 per share.

(4) Reflected benefits are also payable in connection with Mr. Park’s resignation for good reason. See

“—Agreements with Executives and Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control—Sang
Park.”

housing and the use of a car and a driver.

(7) Mr. Hwang is entitled to statutory severance benefits in the amount of $836,666. Although the minimum

legal severance accrual is one month of base salary per year of service, Mr. Hwang was eligible for accrual
of a multiple of two to three months of base salary per year of service during approximately the first ten of
his sixteen years of service, or $442,065 in aggregate.

(8) Ms. Sakai is entitled to statutory severance benefits in the amount of $142,254. The amount owed to

Ms. Sakai under her employment agreement, $165,375, will be reduced by the amount she is statutorily
entitled to receive.

(9) Represents the aggregate value of the continuation of health insurance benefits for Ms. Sakai and her
eligible dependents for six months following the date of termination. Ms. Sakai is also entitled to tax
equalization benefits, tax preparation services, reimbursement of costs associated with one home leave flight

Pension Benefits for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2011

Pursuant to the Employee Retirement Benefit Security Act, certain executive officers resident in Korea with
one or more years of service are entitled to severance benefits upon the termination of their employment for any
reason. The base statutory severance accrues at the rate of approximately one month of base salary per year of
service and is calculated on a monthly basis based upon the officer’s salary for the prior three-month period.
Accordingly, if the named executive officers in the following table had retired on the last day of our fiscal year
ended December 31, 2011, they would have been entitled to the statutory severance payments described below.
Assuming no change in the applicable law, each of these executives will continue to accrue additional statutory
severance benefits at the rate described above until his or her service with us terminates.

In December 2009, our board of directors adopted, and our equityholders approved, the MagnaChip
Semiconductor LLC 2009 Common Unit Plan, which we refer to as the 2009 Plan. The 2009 Plan provided for
the grant of nonstatutory options, restricted unit bonus and purchase right awards, and deferred unit awards to
employees and consultants of our company and our subsidiaries and to members of our board of directors.
However, only options and restricted unit bonus awards were granted under the 2009 Plan. The 2009 Plan
terminated immediately following our corporate conversion, and no additional options or other equity awards
may be granted under the 2009 Plan. However, options granted under the 2009 Plan prior to its termination will
remain outstanding until they are either exercised or expire.

The 2011 Plan was approved by our board of directors and our stockholders in March 2010. We amended
and restated the 2011 Plan in February 2011, and our stockholders approved the amendment in March 2011 to
reflect that it became effective in 2011 upon our corporate conversion. 890,300 shares of our common stock, or
the total number of shares of common stock (as adjusted by the conversion ratio in the corporate conversion)
remaining available for grant upon its termination immediately following the corporate conversion, were
authorized and reserved.

As of December 31, 2011, there were outstanding under the 2011 Plan options to purchase 2,008,960 shares of

common stock, at a weighted average exercise price of $6.79 per share. As of December 31, 2011, 752,564 shares
of our common stock remained available for issuance under the 2011 Plan. This reserve automatically increased on
January 1, 2012 and will automatically increase each subsequent anniversary through 2021, by an amount equal to
the smaller of 2% of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding
December 31 or an amount determined by our board of directors. The number of shares authorized for issuance
under the 2011 Plan will also be increased from time to time by up to that number of shares of common stock
remaining subject to options and restricted stock awards outstanding under the 2009 Plan at the time of its
termination immediately following the corporate conversion that expire or terminate or are forfeited for any reason
after the effective date of the 2011 Plan, subject to a cap of 1,412,352 shares. Appropriate adjustments will be made
in the number of authorized shares and other numerical limits in the 2011 Plan and in outstanding awards to prevent
dilution or enlargement of participants’ rights in the event of a stock split or other change in our capital structure.
Shares subject to awards granted under our 2011 Plan which expire, are repurchased, or are cancelled or forfeited
will again become available for issuance under the 2011 Plan. The shares available will not be reduced by awards
settled in cash. Shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations will not again become available for grant. The
gross number of shares issued upon the exercise of stock appreciation rights or options exercised by means of a net
exercise or by tender of previously owned shares will be deducted from the shares available under the 2011 Plan.

For more information on our 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, see “—Grants of Plan-Based Awards—2011

Equity Incentive Plan.”

The Purchase Plan was approved by our board of directors in March 2010. Our board of directors amended

and restated the Purchase Plan in February 2011 to reflect that the Purchase Plan would become effective in 2011
upon the commencement of the MagnaChip Corporation IPO. The Purchase Plan was approved by our
stockholders in March 2011 and became effective upon the commencement of the MagnaChip Corporation IPO.
789,890 shares were initially authorized and reserved for sale under the Purchase Plan.

As of December 31, 2011, 789,304 shares of our common stock remained reserved for sale under the
Purchase Plan. In addition, the Purchase Plan provides for an automatic annual increase in the number of shares
available for issuance under the plan on January 1 of each year beginning in 2012 and continuing through and
including January 1, 2021 equal to the lesser of (i) 1% of our then issued and outstanding shares of common
stock on the immediately preceding December 31, (ii) 789,980 shares, or (iii) a number of shares as our board
may determine. Appropriate adjustments will be made in the number of authorized shares and in outstanding
purchase rights to prevent dilution or enlargement of participants’ rights in the event of a stock split or other
change in our capital structure. Shares subject to purchase rights which expire or are canceled will again become
available for issuance under the Purchase Plan. For more information on our 2011 Employee Stock Purchase
Plan, see “—Grants of Plan-Based Awards—2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.”

Notes Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the original issuance and sale of the senior notes, we entered into an exchange and
registration rights agreement, dated as of April 9, 2010, with the initial purchasers of the senior notes pursuant to

exchange offer by us for the senior notes and a shelf registration statement covering resales of senior notes by
certain holders, including Avenue.

Warrant Agreement

On November 9, 2009, we entered into a warrant agreement with American Stock Transfer & Trust

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our outstanding common
stock for: (1) each person or entity known to us to beneficially own more than 5% of any class of our outstanding
securities; (2) each member of our board of directors; (3) each of our named executive officers; and (4) all of the
members of our board of directors and executive officers, as a group. The following tables list the number of
shares and percentage of shares beneficially owned based on 36,880,879 shares of common stock outstanding as
of March 31, 2012.

The amounts and percentages of equity interests beneficially owned are reported on the basis of SEC

regulations governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under SEC rules, a person is
deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares “voting power,” which includes the
power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or “investment power,” which includes the power to
dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any
securities of which that person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under these rules,
more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be
deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she has no economic interest.

Except as indicated by footnote, the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment

power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by them. Unless otherwise
indicated, the address of each person listed in the table below is c/o MagnaChip Semiconductor, Ltd., 1
Hyangjeong-dong, Hungduk-gu, Cheongju-si, 361-725, Korea.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the
Company’s executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of its
equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors, and
greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC rules to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a)
forms they file.

Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company, the Company believes that

during 2011 all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than 10%
shareholders were in compliance with Section 16(a) other than with respect to a late Form 4 for one stock option
grant transaction by Ilbok Lee in 2011.

PROPOSAL TWO

ADVISORY VOTE ON
COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

In accordance with Dodd-Frank Act and recently adopted provisions of Section 14A of the Exchange Act,
the Board of Directors is asking stockholders to approve an advisory resolution on executive compensation. The
advisory vote is a non-binding vote on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. The vote is not
intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our Named
Executive Officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement. The text of the
resolution is as follows:

RESOLVED, that the stockholders of MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation approve, on an advisory
basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement for
the Company’s 2012 annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (which disclosure includes the Compensation Discussion and
Analysis section, the Summary Compensation Table for 2011 and the related compensation tables and
narrative disclosure within the Executive and Director Compensation section of the proxy statement).

The Company urges you to read the disclosure under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” in this

Proxy Statement, which discusses how our compensation policies and procedures implement our
pay-for-performance compensation philosophy. You should also read the Summary Compensation Table and
other related compensation tables and narrative disclosure which provide additional details about the
compensation of our Named Executive Officers for fiscal 2011. We have designed our executive compensation
structure to attract, motivate, and retain executives with the skills required to formulate and implement the
Company’s strategic objectives and create stockholder value. We believe that our executive compensation
program is reasonable, competitive and strongly focused on pay for performance principles, and provides an
appropriate balance between risk and incentives.

The vote regarding the compensation of the Named Executive Officers described above, referred to as a

“say-on-pay advisory vote,” is advisory, and is therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation
Committee or the Board of Directors. Although non-binding, the Board of Directors and the Compensation
Committee value the opinions that stockholders express in their votes and will review the voting results and take
them into consideration when making future decisions regarding our executive compensation programs as they
deem appropriate.

If no voting specification is made on a properly returned or voted proxy card, the proxies named on the
proxy card will vote “FOR” the approval of the compensation of the Named Executive Officers as disclosed in
this proxy statement and described above.

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” Proposal Two.

PROPOSAL THREE

ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF THE STOCKHOLDER VOTE ON EXECUTIVE
COMPENSATION

In accordance with the Dodd-Frank Act and Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are also asking you to

cast, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, a vote on whether the stockholder vote on the compensation of our
named executive officers should occur every year, every two years or every three years. The advisory vote on the
frequency of the say-on-pay advisory vote is a non-binding vote as to how often the say-on-pay advisory vote
should occur. You may either vote for one of these alternative frequencies or, if you desire, abstain from voting
on this matter. The text of the resolution to be voted upon is as follows:

y
x
o
r
P

RESOLVED, that the stockholders of MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation approve, on an advisory
basis, having the stockholder vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers listed in
the annual proxy statement occur with the frequency (i.e., every year, every two years or every three years)
for which the highest number of votes are cast at the Company’s 2012 annual meeting of stockholders.

After considering the benefits and consequences of each option for the frequency of the say-on-pay advisory
vote, the Board of Directors has determined that an advisory vote on executive compensation every three years is
the most appropriate alternative for the Company. Therefore, the Board recommends that you vote for having the
say-on-pay advisory vote occur every three years.

The Board believes that a say-on-pay advisory vote every three years provides a high level of accountability

and communication. A say-on-pay advisory vote every three years allows stockholders to provide the Company
with direct input on executive compensation information on a long-term perspective while allowing us time to
carefully review our executive compensation programs during the period between stockholder votes.
Furthermore, a say-on-pay advisory vote every three years will allow us a more efficient and effective timeframe
to respond to stockholders’ feedback, and it will provide us with sufficient time to engage with stockholders to
understand and respond to the vote results. We understand that stockholders may have different views as to what
the most desirable frequency is, and we look forward to hearing from stockholders on this matter.

The option of every year, every two years or every three years that receives the highest number of votes cast

by stockholders will be deemed to be the frequency for the say-on-pay advisory vote that has been selected by
stockholders. However, because this vote is advisory and not binding on the Board of Directors or the Company
in any way, the Board may decide that it is in the best interests of the stockholders and the Company to hold the
say-on-pay advisory vote more or less frequently than the option approved by stockholders.

If no voting specification is made on a properly returned or voted proxy card, the proxies named on the
proxy card will vote for the option of EVERY THREE YEARS as the frequency with which stockholders are
provided an advisory vote on executive compensation.

Please note that stockholders are not voting to approve or disapprove the Board of Directors’

recommendation regarding this matter. You may choose to vote for one year, two years or three years as the
frequency of the say-on-pay advisory vote or you may choose to abstain.

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote “EVERY THREE YEARS” as the frequency of the

advisory vote on executive compensation.

PROPOSAL FOUR

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR

Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers has been selected by the Audit Committee as the principal independent
registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year for us and our subsidiaries. Our Board of Directors
recommends a vote for ratification of the appointment of Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers as the independent
registered public accounting firm to audit the books and accounts for us and our subsidiaries for the current fiscal
year. It is expected that representatives of Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers will attend the Annual Meeting, with
the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire, and, if a representative is in attendance, the representative
will be available to answer appropriate questions.

The appointment of Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers as our independent registered public accounting firm is

not required to be submitted to a vote of our stockholders for ratification. However, our Board of Directors
believes that obtaining stockholder ratification is a sound governance practice. If our stockholders fail to vote on
an advisory basis in favor of the appointment of Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers, the Audit Committee will take
such actions as it deems necessary as a result of such stockholder vote.

Policy and procedure for approval of audit and permitted non-audit services

All audit fees were pre-approved by the Company’s Audit Committee, which concluded that the provision

of such services by Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers and its affiliates was compatible with the maintenance of that
firm’s independence in the conduct of its auditing functions. The Audit Committee’s Outside Auditor
Independence Policy provides for pre-approval of specifically described audit, audit-related, non-audit related
and tax services by the Audit Committee on an annual basis. Individual engagements must be separately
approved. The policy also requires specific approval by the Audit Committee if total fees for audit related and tax
services would exceed total fees for audit services in any fiscal year. The policy authorizes the Audit Committee
to delegate to one or more of its members pre-approval authority with respect to permitted services that will be
ratified by the entire Audit Committee at a future committee meeting in accordance with requirements of the
SEC. The Audit Committee followed these guidelines in approving all services rendered by Samil
PricewaterhouseCoopers and its affiliates.

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Samil
PricewaterhouseCoopers as our independent registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year.

brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for the forwarding of solicitation materials to
the beneficial owners of our common stock held of record by such persons, and we will reimburse such
brokerage houses, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
connection therewith.

Item 1. Business

General

We are a Korea-based designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products for

high-volume consumer applications. We believe we have one of the broadest and deepest analog and mixed-
signal semiconductor technology platforms in the industry, supported by our 30-year operating history, large
portfolio of approximately 2,975 registered novel patents and 425 pending novel patent applications, and
extensive engineering and manufacturing process expertise. Our business is comprised of three key segments:
Display Solutions, Power Solutions and Semiconductor Manufacturing Services. Our Display Solutions products
include display drivers that cover a wide range of flat panel displays and mobile multimedia devices. Our Power
Solutions products include discrete and integrated circuit solutions for power management in high-volume
consumer applications. Our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services segment provides specialty analog and
mixed-signal foundry services for fabless semiconductor companies that serve the consumer, computing and
wireless end markets.

Our wide variety of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products and manufacturing services combined
with our deep technology platform allows us to address multiple high-growth end markets and to rapidly develop
and introduce new products and services in response to market demands. Our substantial manufacturing
operations and design center in Korea place us at the core of the global consumer electronics supply chain. We
believe this enables us to quickly and efficiently respond to our customers’ needs and allows us to better service
and capture additional demand from existing and new customers.

We have a long history of supplying and collaborating on product and technology development with leading
innovators in the consumer electronics market. As a result, we have been able to strengthen our technology platform
and develop products and services that are in high demand by our customers and end consumers. We sold over
2,200 and 2,400 distinct products in the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, with
a substantial portion of our revenues derived from a concentrated number of customers. Our largest Semiconductor
Manufacturing Services customers include some of the fastest growing and leading semiconductor companies that
design analog and mixed-signal products for the consumer, computing and wireless end markets.

Our business is largely driven by innovation in the consumer electronics markets and the growing adoption

by consumers worldwide of electronic devices for use in their daily lives. The consumer electronics market is
large and growing rapidly, largely due to consumers increasingly accessing a wide variety of available rich media

Our History

Our business was named MagnaChip Semiconductor when it was acquired from Hynix Semiconductor, Inc.,

or Hynix, in October 2004. We refer to this acquisition as the Original Acquisition.

On June 12, 2009, MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC, along with certain of its subsidiaries, including
MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A., filed a voluntary petition for relief in the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Delaware under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, which we refer to as the
reorganization proceedings. On November 9, 2009, our plan of reorganization became effective and we emerged
from the reorganization proceedings with our management team remaining in place. Our Chapter 11 plan of
reorganization implemented a comprehensive financial reorganization that significantly reduced our outstanding
indebtedness. Additionally, on that date, a new board of directors of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC was
appointed, MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC’s previously outstanding common and preferred units, and options
were cancelled, MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC issued approximately 300 million common units
(approximately 37.5 million shares of common stock following the corporate conversion) and warrants to
purchase 15 million common units (approximately 1.9 million shares of common stock following the corporate
conversion) to two classes of creditors and affiliated funds of Avenue Capital Management II, L.P. became the
majority unitholder of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC.

Avenue Capital Management II, L.P. is a global investment management firm, and it and its affiliated funds
specialize in investing in high yield debt, debt of insolvent or financially distressed companies and equity of companies
undergoing financial or operational turnarounds or reorganizations. In this Report, we refer to funds affiliated with
Avenue Capital Management II, L.P. collectively as “Avenue.” Avenue generally does not manage or operate the
companies in which it invests; however, in connection with some of its equity investments, Avenue will appoint one or
more representatives to serve on the board of directors. Avenue was a holder of a significant portion of our
indebtedness which was outstanding prior to our reorganization proceedings. In connection with our emergence from
our reorganization proceedings, Avenue became our majority unitholder as a result of its participation in our rights
offering and continued as a lender under our new term loan. In connection with our offering (the “senior notes
offering”) of $250 million aggregate principal amount of 10.5% senior notes due April 15, 2018 (the “notes” or “senior
notes”), Avenue purchased notes in the aggregate principal amount of $35.0 million, was repaid $42.8 million in
connection with the repayment of our new term loan and received $91.2 million in connection with our distribution to
unitholders. On May 16, 2011, two of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A. and
MagnaChip Semiconductor Finance Company, repurchased $35.0 million out of $250.0 million aggregate principal
amount of our senior notes at a price of 109.0% from Avenue. Avenue will continue to be able to elect a majority of
our board as long as Avenue continues to hold or control a majority of our outstanding shares.

On March 10, 2011, we completed our initial public offering, which we refer to as the “MagnaChip

Corporation IPO.” Prior to the MagnaChip Corporation IPO, our board of directors and the holders of a majority
of our outstanding common units converted MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC from a Delaware limited liability
company to MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation, a Delaware corporation. In order to consummate such a
conversion, a certificate of conversion was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware prior to the
effectiveness of the registration statement. In connection with the corporate conversion, the outstanding common
units of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC were automatically converted into shares of common stock of
MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation, outstanding options to purchase common units of MagnaChip
Semiconductor LLC were automatically converted into options to purchase shares of common stock of
MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation and outstanding warrants to purchase common units of MagnaChip
Semiconductor LLC were automatically converted into warrants to purchase shares of common stock of
MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation, all at a ratio of one share of common stock for eight common units. We
refer to such transactions as the “corporate conversion.”

As of December 31, 2011, Avenue beneficially owned approximately 20,789,539 shares, or 54.0%, of our

outstanding common stock, including shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and

warrants that are exercisable within sixty days of December 31, 2011. We are considered a “controlled company”
for purposes of the NYSE listing requirements. As such, we are exempt from the NYSE corporate governance
requirements that our board of directors meet the standards of independence established by those corporate
governance requirements and exempt from the requirements that we have separate Compensation and
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees made up entirely of directors who meet such independence
standards. We have chosen to utilize the exemption available for controlled companies.

Our Products and Services

Our Display Solutions products include source and gate drivers and timing controllers that cover a wide

range of flat panel displays used in LCD, light emitting diode, or LED, and 3D televisions and displays,
notebooks and mobile communications and entertainment devices. Our Display Solutions support the industry’s
most advanced display technologies, such as active matrix organic light emitting diodes, or AMOLEDs, and low
temperature polysilicons, or LTPS, as well as high-volume display technologies such as thin film transistors, or
TFTs. Our Display Solutions business represented 43.9%, 39.7% and 50.5% of our net sales for the fiscal years
ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 (on a combined basis), respectively.

We expanded our business and market opportunity by establishing our Power Solutions business in late
2007. We have introduced a number of products for power management applications, including metal oxide
semiconductor field effect transistors, or MOSFETs, insulated gate bipolar transistors, or IGBTs, analog
switches, LED drivers, DC-DC converters, voice coil motor drivers and linear regulators for a range of devices,
including LCD, LED, 3D televisions, smartphones, mobile phones, desktop PCs, notebooks, tablet PCs, other
consumer electronics, and industrial applications such as power suppliers, LED lighting and home appliances.
Our Power Solutions business represented 12.0%, 7.4% and 2.2% of our net sales for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 (on a combined basis), respectively.

We offer semiconductor manufacturing services to fabless analog and mixed-signal semiconductor companies
that require differentiated, specialty analog and mixed-signal process technologies. We believe the majority of our
top twenty Semiconductor Manufacturing Services customers use us as their primary manufacturing source for the
products that we manufacture for them. Our process technologies are optimized for analog and mixed-signal devices
and include standard complementary metal-oxide semiconductor, or CMOS, high voltage CMOS, ultra-low leakage
high voltage CMOS and bipolar complementary double-diffused metal oxide semiconductor, or BCDMOS, and
electronically erasable programmable read only memory, or EEPROM. Our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services
customers use us to manufacture a wide range of products, including display drivers, LED drivers, audio encoding
and decoding devices, microcontrollers, touch screen controllers, RF switches, park distance control sensors for
automotive, electronic tag memories and power management semiconductors. During 2011, the number of design
wins we booked for smartphones and tablet PCs increased three times compared to 2010. Our customer base for
these applications increased from five to ten customers from Q1 2011 to Q4 2011. Our Semiconductor
Manufacturing Services business represented 43.8%, 52.6% and 46.7% of our net sales for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 (on a combined basis), respectively.

We manufacture all of our products at our three fabrication facilities located in Korea. We have approximately

278 proprietary process flows we can utilize for our products and offer to our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services
customers. Our manufacturing base serves both our display driver and power management businesses and
Semiconductor Manufacturing Services customers, allowing us to optimize our asset utilization and leverage our
investments across our product and service offerings. Analog and mixed-signal manufacturing facilities and processes
are typically distinguished by design and process implementation expertise rather than the use of the most advanced
equipment. These processes also tend to migrate more slowly to smaller geometries due to technological barriers and
increased costs. For example, some of our products use high-voltage technology that requires larger geometries and
that may not migrate to smaller geometries for several years, if at all. As a result, our manufacturing base and strategy
does not require substantial investment in leading edge process equipment, allowing us to utilize our facilities and
equipment over an extended period of time with moderate required capital investments.

new products and variations of existing products to address a broader customer base. In order to broaden our
market penetration, we are complementing our direct customer relationships and sales with an expanded base of
distributors, especially to aid the growth of our power management business. We expect to continue to expand our
distribution channels as we broaden our power management penetration beyond existing customers.

Aggressively Grow the Power Business. We have utilized our extensive patent portfolio, process technologies,
captive manufacturing facilities and analog and mixed-signal technology platform to develop power management
solutions that expand our market opportunity and address more of our customers’ needs. We intend to increase
the pace of our new power product introductions by continuing to collaborate closely with our industry-leading
customers. For example, we began mass production of our first integrated power solution for LCD televisions at
one of our major Korean customers in early 2010, and became a major supplier of the product within two years.
We also intend to capitalize on the market needs and regulatory requirements for power management products
that reduce energy consumption of consumer electronic products by introducing products that are more energy
efficient than those of competitors. We believe our integrated designs, unique low-cost process technologies and
deep customer relationships will enable us to increase sales of our power solutions to our current Power Solutions
customers, and as an extension of our other product offerings, to our other customers.

Drive Execution Excellence. We have significantly improved our execution through a number of
management initiatives implemented under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Sang
Park. As an example, we have introduced new processes for product development, customer service and
personnel development. We expect these ongoing initiatives will continue to improve our new product
development and customer service as well as enhance our commitment to a culture of quick action and
execution by our workforce. In addition, we have focused on and continually improved our manufacturing
efficiency during the past several years.

Optimize Asset Utilization, Return on Capital Investments and Cash Flow Generation. We intend to keep
our capital expenditures relatively low by maintaining our focus on specialty process technologies that do
not require substantial investment in frequent upgrades to the latest manufacturing equipment. We also
believe our power management business should increase our utilization and return on capital as the
manufacturing of these products primarily relies on our 0.35μm geometry and low-cost equipment. By
utilizing our manufacturing facilities for both our Display Solutions and Power Solutions products and our
Semiconductor Manufacturing Services customers, we will seek to maximize return on our capital
investments and our cash flow generation.

Our Technology

We continuously strengthen our advanced analog and mixed-signal semiconductor technology platform by

developing innovative technologies and integrated circuit building blocks that enhance the functionality of
consumer electronics products through brighter, thinner displays, enhanced image quality, smaller form factor
and longer battery life. We seek to further build our technology platform through proprietary research and
development and selective licensing and acquisition of complementary technologies, as well as disciplined
process improvements in our manufacturing operations. Our goal is to leverage our experience and development
initiatives across multiple end markets and utilize our understanding of system-level issues our customers face to
introduce new technologies that enable our customers to develop more advanced, higher performance products.

Our display technology portfolio includes building blocks for display drivers and timing controllers,
processor and interface technologies, as well as sophisticated production techniques, such as chip-on-glass, or
COG, which enables the manufacture of thinner displays. Our advanced display drivers incorporate LTPS and
AMOLED panel technologies that enable the highest resolution displays. Furthermore, we are developing a
broad intellectual property portfolio to improve the power efficiency of displays, including the development of
our smart mobile luminance control, or SMLC, algorithm.

We have a long history of specialized process technology development and have a number of distinctive
process implementations. We have approximately 278 process flows we can utilize for our products and offer to
our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services customers. Our process technologies include standard CMOS, high
voltage CMOS, ultra-low leakage high voltage CMOS and BCDMOS. Our manufacturing processes incorporate
embedded memory solutions such as static random access memory, or SRAM, one-time programmable, or OTP,
memory, multiple-time programmable, or MTP, memory, EEPROM, and single-transistor random access
memory, or 1TRAM. More broadly, we focus extensively on processes that reduce die size across all of the
products we manufacture, in order to deliver cost-effective solutions to our customers.

Expertise in high voltage and deep trench BCDMOS process technologies, low power analog and mixed-

signal design capabilities and packaging know-how are key requirements in the power management market. We
are currently leveraging our capabilities in these areas with products such as AC-DC converters, DC-DC
converters, linear regulators, including LDO, regulators and analog switches, and power MOSFETs. We believe
our system level understanding of applications such as LCD televisions and mobile phones will allow us to more
quickly develop and customize power management solutions for our customers in these markets.

Products and Services by Division

Our broad portfolio of products and services addresses multiple high-growth, consumer-focused end
markets. A key component of our product strategy is to supply multiple related product and service offerings to
each of the end markets that we serve.

Display Solutions

Display Driver Characteristics. Display drivers deliver defined analog voltages and currents that activate
pixels to exhibit images on displays. The following key characteristics determine display driver performance and
end-market application:

•

•

•

•

Resolution and Number of Channels. Resolution determines the level of detail displayed within an image and is
defined by the number of pixels per line multiplied by the number of lines on a display. For large displays, higher
resolution typically requires more display drivers for each panel. Display drivers that have a greater number of
channels, however, generally require fewer display drivers for each panel and command a higher selling price per
unit. Mobile displays, conversely, are typically single chip solutions designed to deliver a specific resolution. We
cover resolutions ranging from WQVGA (240RGB x 432) to DVGA (960RGB x 1,280).

Color Depth. Color depth is the number of colors that can be displayed on a panel. For example, for
TFT-LCD panels, 262 thousand colors are supported by 6-bit source drivers; 16 million colors are supported
by 8-bit source drivers; and 1 billion colors are supported by 10-bit source drivers.

F

Operational Voltage. Display drivers are characterized by input and output voltages. Source drivers
typically operate at input voltages from 1.8 to 3.6 volts and output voltages between 9 and 18 volts. Gate
drivers typically operate at input voltages from 2.0 to 3.6 volts and output voltages from 30 to 40 volts.
Lower input voltage results in lower power consumption and electromagnetic interference, or EMI.

Gamma Curve. The relationship between the light passing through a pixel and the voltage applied to the
pixel by the source driver is referred to as the gamma curve. The gamma curve of the source driver can
correct some imperfections in picture quality in a process generally known as gamma correction. Some
advanced display drivers feature up to three independent gamma curves to facilitate this correction.

9

•

Driver Interface. Driver interface refers to the connection between the timing controller and the display
drivers. Display drivers increasingly require higher bandwidth interface technology to address the larger
data transfer rate necessary for higher definition images. The principal types of interface technologies are
embedded clock point to point I/F, or EPI I/F, advance intra panel I/F, or AIPI, mini-low voltage differential
signaling, or m-LVDS, and ultra slim I/F, or USI.

•

Package Type. The assembly of display drivers typically uses chip-on-film, or COF, and COG package types.

Large Display Solutions. We provide display solutions for a wide range of flat panel display sizes used in
LCD televisions, including high definition televisions, or HDTVs, LED TVs, 3D TVs, LCD monitors, notebooks,
tablet PCs and ultrabooks.

Our large display solutions include source and gate drivers and timing controllers with a variety of interfaces,

voltages, frequencies and packages to meet customers’ needs. These products include advanced technologies such as
high channel count, with products in mass production to provide up to 1,026 channels. Our large display solutions are
designed to allow customers to cost-effectively meet the increasing demand for high resolution displays. We focus
extensively on reducing the die size of our large display drivers and other solutions products to reduce costs without
having to migrate to smaller geometries. For example, we have implemented several solutions to reduce die size in
large display drivers, such as optimizing design schemes and design rules and applying specific technologies that we
have developed internally. We have recently introduced a number of new large display drivers with reduced die size.

The table below sets forth the features of our products, both in mass production and in customer

qualification, which is the final stage of product development, for large-sized displays:

14

Process Technology Overview

• Mixed-Signal. Mixed-signal process technology is used in devices that require conversion of light and
sound into electrical signals for processing and display. Our mixed-signal processes include advanced
technologies such as low noise process using triple gate, which uses less power at any given performance
level. MEMS process technology allows the manufacture of components that use electrical energy to
generate a mechanical response. For example, MEMS devices are used in the accelerometers and
gyroscopes of mobile phones.

•

•

•

Power. Power process technology, such as BCD, includes high voltage capabilities as well as the ability to
integrate functionality such as self-regulation, internal protection, and other intelligent features. The unique
process features such as deep trench isolation are suited for chip shrink and device performance
enhancement.

High Voltage CMOS. High voltage CMOS process technology facilitates the use of high voltage levels in
conjunction with smaller transistor sizes. This process technology includes several variations, such as
bipolar processes, which use transistors with qualities well suited for amplifying and switching applications,
mixed mode processes, which incorporate denser, more power efficient FETs, and thick metal processes.

Non-Volatile Memory. Non-volatile memory, or NVM, process technology enables the integration of
non-volatile memory cells that allow retention of the stored information even when power is removed from
the circuit. This type of memory is typically used for long-term persistent storage.

Sales and Marketing

We focus our sales and marketing strategy on creating and strengthening our relationships with leading
consumer electronics OEMs, as well as analog and mixed-signal semiconductor companies. We believe our close
collaboration with customers allows us to align our product and process technology development with our
customers’ existing and future needs. Because our customers often service multiple end markets, our product
sales teams are organized by customers within the major geographies. We believe this facilitates the sale of
products that address multiple end-market applications to each of our customers. Our Semiconductor
Manufacturing Services sales teams focus on marketing our services to analog and mixed-signal semiconductor
companies that require specialty manufacturing processes.

We sell our products through a direct sales force and a network of authorized agents and distributors. We

have strategically located our sales and technical support offices near our customers. Our direct sales force
consists primarily of representatives co-located with our design center in Korea, as well as our local sales and
support offices in Japan, Greater China and Europe. We have a network of agents and distributors in Korea,
Japan, Europe and Greater China. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we derived
71% and 76% of net sales through our direct sales force, respectively, and 29% and 24% of net sales through our
network of authorized agents and distributors, respectively.

Research and Development

Our research and development efforts focus on intellectual property, design methodology and process

technology for our complex analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products and services. Research and
development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011, December 31, 2010, and the combined twelve-
month period ended December 31, 2009 were $76.8 million $83.5 million and $70.9 million, respectively,
representing 9.9%, 10.8% and 12.7% of net sales, respectively.

Customers

We sell our Display Solutions and Power Solutions products to consumer electronics OEMs as well as
subsystem designers and contract manufacturers. We sell our semiconductor manufacturing services to analog
and mixed-signal semiconductor companies. For the years ended December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010,
our ten largest customers accounted for 63% and 63% of our net sales, respectively, and we had one customer,
LG Display, representing 15% and 16% of our consolidated net sales for the years ended December 31, 2011 and
December 31, 2010, respectively. Substantially all of our sales to LG Display are in our Display Solutions
segment and sales to LG Display represented 34% and 41% of net sales in our Display Solutions segment in the
years ended December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively. Our relationships with some of our ten
largest customers were adversely impacted by our reorganization proceedings. Some of these customers did not
offer us the opportunity to compete for new design wins during the pendency of our reorganization proceedings.
However, subsequent to our emergence from our reorganization proceedings we have again been provided an
opportunity to compete for these projects. For the year ended December 31, 2011, we recorded revenues of

16

$75.5 million from customers in the United States and $697.3 million from all foreign countries, of which 57.0%
was from Korea, 18.9% from Taiwan, 8.4% from Japan and 11.8% from China, Hong Kong and Macau. For the
year ended December 31, 2010, we recorded revenues of $90.0 million from customers in the United States and
$680.4 million from all foreign countries, of which 55.7% was from Korea, 23.1% from Taiwan, 8.4% from
Japan and 9.3% from China, Hong Kong and Macau.

Intellectual Property

As of December 31, 2011, our portfolio of intellectual property assets included approximately 3,825

registered patents and 610 pending patent applications. Approximately 2,975 and 425 of our patents and pending
patents are novel in that they are not a foreign counterpart of an existing patent or patent application. Because we
file patents in multiple jurisdictions, we additionally have approximately 1,035 registered and pending patents
that relate to identical technical claims in our base patent portfolio. Our patents expire at various times over the
next 18 years. While these patents are in the aggregate important to our competitive position, we do not believe
that any single registered or pending patent is material to us.

We have entered into exclusive and non-exclusive licenses and development agreements with third parties
relating to the use of intellectual property of the third parties in our products and our design processes, including
licenses related to embedded memory technology, design tools, process simulation tools, circuit designs and
processor cores. Some of these licenses, including our agreements with Silicon Works Co., Ltd. and ARM
Limited, are material to our business and may be terminated prior to the expiration of these licenses by the
licensors should we fail to cure any breach under such licenses. Our license with Silicon Works Co., Ltd. relates
to our large display drivers and our license from ARM Limited primarily relates to product lines in our
Semiconductor Manufacturing Services business. The loss of either license could have a material adverse impact
on our results of operations. Additionally, in connection with the Original Acquisition, Hynix retained a
perpetual license to use the intellectual property that we acquired from Hynix in the Original Acquisition. Under
this license, Hynix and its subsidiaries are free to develop products that may incorporate or embody intellectual
property developed by us prior to October 2004.

Competition

We operate in highly competitive markets characterized by rapid technological change and continually

advancing customer requirements. Although no one company competes with us in all of our product lines, we
face significant competition in each of our market segments. Our competitors include other independent and
captive manufacturers and designers of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits including display driver and
power management semiconductor devices, as well as companies providing specialty manufacturing services.

We compete based on design experience, manufacturing capabilities, the ability to service customer needs

from the design phase through the shipping of a completed product, length of design cycle and quality of
technical support and sales personnel. Our ability to compete successfully will depend on internal and external
variables, both within and outside of our control. These variables include the timeliness with which we can
develop new products and technologies, product performance and quality, manufacturing yields, capacity
availability, customer service, pricing, industry trends and general economic trends.

Employees

Our worldwide workforce consisted of 3,342 employees (full- and part-time) as of January 31, 2012, of which
401 were involved in sales, marketing, general and administrative, 419 were in research and development (including
218 with advanced degrees), 111 were in quality, reliability and assurance and 2,411 were in manufacturing
(comprised of 364 in engineering and 2,047 in operations). As of January 31, 2012, 2,161 employees, or
approximately 64.7% of our workforce, were represented by the MagnaChip Semiconductor Labor Union, which is
a member of the Federation of Korean Metal Workers Trade Unions. We believe our labor relations are good.

17

Environmental

Our operations are subject to a variety of environmental, health and safety laws and regulations in each of the

jurisdictions in which we operate, governing, among other things, air emissions, wastewater discharges, the
generation, use, handling, storage and disposal of, and exposure to, hazardous substances (including asbestos) and
waste, soil and groundwater contamination and employee health and safety. These laws and regulations are
complex, constantly changing and have tended to become more stringent over time. For example, the Korean
government’s Enforcement Decree to the Framework Act on Low Carbon Green Growth became effective in April
2010. Certain designated businesses, including our Korean subsidiary, were required to submit plans to reduce
greenhouse emissions and energy consumption. Our Korean subsidiary set emissions and consumption targets and
negotiated an implementation plan in 2011 with Korean governmental authorities. Each year going forward, our
Korean subsidiary is required to agree upon emissions and consumption targets with Korean governmental
authorities and submit an independently-verified report of prior year compliance. There can be no assurance that we
have been or will be in compliance with all these laws and regulations, or that we will not incur material costs or
liabilities in connection with these laws and regulations in the future. The adoption of new environmental, health
and safety laws, any failure to comply with new or existing laws or issues relating to hazardous substances could
subject us to material liability (including substantial fines or penalties), impose the need for additional capital
equipment or other process requirements upon us, curtail our operations or restrict our ability to expand operations.

Raw Materials

We use processes that require specialized raw materials that are generally available from a limited number

of suppliers. Tape is one of the process materials required for our display drivers. We continue to attempt to
qualify additional suppliers for our raw materials.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below as well as the other information contained in
this Report. Any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or
results of operations. As a result, the price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of
your investment in our common stock. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or those
currently viewed by us to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial
condition or results of operations.

We operate in the highly cyclical semiconductor industry, which is subject to significant downturns that may
negatively impact our results of operations.

The semiconductor industry is highly cyclical and is characterized by constant and rapid technological
change and price erosion, evolving technical standards, short product life cycles (for semiconductors and for the
end-user products in which they are used) and wide fluctuations in product supply and demand. From time to
time, these and other factors, together with changes in general economic conditions, cause significant upturns and
downturns in the industry in general and in our business in particular. Periods of industry downturns, including
the recent economic downturn, have been characterized by diminished demand for end-user products, high
inventory levels, underutilization of manufacturing capacity, changes in revenue mix and accelerated erosion of
average selling prices. We have experienced these conditions in our business in the past and may experience
renewed, and possibly more severe and prolonged, downturns in the future as a result of such cyclical changes.
This may reduce our results of operations.

We base our planned operating expenses in part on our expectations of future revenue, and a significant

portion of our expenses is relatively fixed in the short term. If revenue for a particular quarter is lower than we
expect, we likely will be unable to proportionately reduce our operating expenses for that quarter, which would
harm our operating results for that quarter.

If we fail to develop new products and process technologies or enhance our existing products and services in
order to react to rapid technological change and market demands, our business will suffer.

Our industry is subject to constant and rapid technological change and product obsolescence as customers
and competitors create new and innovative products and technologies. Products or technologies developed by
other companies may render our products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive, and we may not be able to
access advanced process technologies, including smaller geometries, or to license or otherwise obtain essential
intellectual property required by our customers.

We must develop new products and services and enhance our existing products and services to meet rapidly
evolving customer requirements. We design products for customers who continually require higher performance
and functionality at lower costs. We must, therefore, continue to enhance the performance and functionality of
our products. The development process for these advancements is lengthy and requires us to accurately anticipate
technological changes and market trends. Developing and enhancing these products is uncertain and can be time-
consuming, costly and complex. If we do not continue to develop and maintain process technologies that are in
demand by our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services customers, we may be unable to maintain existing
customers or attract new customers.

19

Customer and market requirements can change during the development process. There is a risk that these
developments and enhancements will be late, fail to meet customer or market specifications or not be competitive
with products or services from our competitors that offer comparable or superior performance and functionality.
Any new products, such as our expanding line of power management solutions, or product or service
enhancements, may not be accepted in new or existing markets. Our business will suffer if we fail to develop and
introduce new products and services or product and service enhancements on a timely and cost-effective basis.

We manufacture our products based on our estimates of customer demand, and if our estimates are incorrect
our financial results could be negatively impacted.

We make significant decisions, including determining the levels of business that we will seek and accept,
production schedules, component procurement commitments, personnel needs and other resource requirements –
based on our estimates of customer demand and expected demand for and success of their products. The short-
term nature of commitments by many of our customers and the possibility of rapid changes in demand for their
products reduces our ability to estimate accurately future customer demand for our products. On occasion,
customers may require rapid increases in supply, which can challenge our production resources and reduce
margins. We may not have sufficient capacity at any given time to meet our customers’ increased demand for our
products. Conversely, downturns in the semiconductor industry have caused and may in the future cause our
customers to reduce significantly the amount of products they order from us. Because many of our costs and
operating expenses are relatively fixed, a reduction in customer demand would decrease our results of operations,
including our gross profit.

Our customers may cancel their orders, reduce quantities or delay production, which would adversely affect
our margins and results of operations.

We generally do not obtain firm, long-term purchase commitments from our customers. Customers may cancel
their orders, reduce quantities or delay production for a number of reasons. Cancellations, reductions or delays by a
significant customer or by a group of customers, which we have experienced as a result of periodic downturns in the
semiconductor industry or failure to achieve design wins, have affected and may continue to affect our results of
operations adversely. These risks are exacerbated because many of our products are customized, which hampers our
ability to sell excess inventory to the general market. We may incur charges resulting from the write-off of obsolete
inventory. In addition, while we do not obtain long-term purchase commitments, we generally agree to the pricing
of a particular product over a set period of time. If we underestimate our costs when determining pricing, our
margins and results of operations would be adversely affected.

We depend on high utilization of our manufacturing capacity, a reduction of which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and the results of our operations.

An important factor in our success is the extent to which we are able to utilize the available capacity in our

fabrication facilities. As many of our costs are fixed, a reduction in capacity utilization, as well as changes in
other factors, such as reduced yield or unfavorable product mix, could reduce our profit margins and adversely
affect our operating results. A number of factors and circumstances may reduce utilization rates, including
periods of industry overcapacity, low levels of customer orders, operating inefficiencies, mechanical failures and
disruption of operations due to expansion or relocation of operations, power interruptions and fire, flood or other
natural disasters or calamities. The potential delays and costs resulting from these steps could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A significant portion of our sales comes from a relatively limited number of customers, the loss of which
would adversely affect our financial results.

Historically, we have relied on a limited number of customers for a substantial portion of our total revenue.
If we were to lose key customers or if customers cease to place orders for our high-volume products or services,

20

our financial results would be adversely affected. For the years ended December 31, 2011, and December 31,
2010, our ten largest customers accounted for 63% and 63% of our net sales, respectively, and we had one
customer, LG Display, representing 15% and 16% of our consolidated net sales for the years ended
December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Substantially all of our sales to LG Display are in our
Display Solutions segment and sales to LG Display represented 34% and 41% of net sales in our Display
Solutions segment in the years ended December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively. Significant
reductions in sales to any of these customers, especially our few largest customers, the loss of other major
customers or a general curtailment in orders for our high-volume products or services within a short period of
time would adversely affect our business.

The average selling prices of our semiconductor products have at times declined rapidly and will likely do so
in the future, which could harm our revenue and gross profit.

The semiconductor products we develop and sell are subject to rapid declines in average selling prices. From

time to time, we have had to reduce our prices significantly to meet customer requirements, and we may be required
to reduce our prices in the future. This would cause our gross profit to decrease. Our financial results will suffer if
we are unable to offset any reductions in our average selling prices by increasing our sales volumes, reducing our
costs or developing new or enhanced products on a timely basis with higher selling prices or gross profit.

Our industry is highly competitive and our ability to compete could be negatively impacted by a variety of
factors.

The semiconductor industry is highly competitive and includes hundreds of companies, a number of which
have achieved substantial market share both within our product categories and end markets. Current and prospective
customers for our products and services evaluate our capabilities against the merits of our competitors. Some of our
competitors are well established as independent companies and have substantially greater market share and
manufacturing, financial, research and development and marketing resources than we do. We also compete with
emerging companies that are attempting to sell their products in certain of our end markets and with the internal
semiconductor design and manufacturing capabilities of many of our significant customers. We expect to
experience continuing competitive pressures in our markets from existing competitors and new entrants.

Any consolidation among our competitors could enhance their product offerings and financial resources,

further enhancing their competitive position. Our ability to compete will depend on a number of factors,
including the following:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

our ability to offer cost-effective and high quality products and services on a timely basis using our
technologies;

our ability to accurately identify and respond to emerging technological trends and demand for product
features and performance characteristics;

our ability to continue to rapidly introduce new products that are accepted by the market;

our ability to adopt or adapt to emerging industry standards;

the number and nature of our competitors and competitiveness of their products and services in a given
market;

entrance of new competitors into our markets;

our ability to enter the highly competitive power management market; and

our ability to continue to offer in demand semiconductor manufacturing services at competitive prices.

Many of these factors are outside of our control. In the future, our competitors may replace us as a supplier
to our existing or potential customers, and our customers may satisfy more of their requirements internally. As a
result, we may experience declining revenues and results of operations.

Changes in demand for consumer electronics in our end markets can impact our results of operations.

Demand for our products will depend in part on the demand for various consumer electronics products, in

particular, mobile phones and multimedia devices, digital televisions, flat panel displays, mobile PCs and digital
cameras, which in turn depends on general economic conditions and other factors beyond our control. If our
customers fail to introduce new products that employ our products or component parts, demand for our products
will suffer. To the extent that we cannot offset periods of reduced demand that may occur in these markets
through greater penetration of these markets or reduction in our production and costs, our sales and gross profit
may decline, which would negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we fail to achieve design wins for our semiconductor products, we may lose the opportunity for sales to
customers for a significant period of time and be unable to recoup our investments in our products.

We expend considerable resources on winning competitive selection processes, known as design wins, to
develop semiconductor products for use in our customers’ products. These selection processes are typically lengthy
and can require us to incur significant design and development expenditures. We may not win the competitive
selection process and may never generate any revenue despite incurring significant design and development
expenditures. Once a customer designs a semiconductor into a product, that customer is likely to continue to use the
same semiconductor or enhanced versions of that semiconductor from the same supplier across a number of similar
and successor products for a lengthy period of time due to the significant costs associated with qualifying a new
supplier and potentially redesigning the product to incorporate a different semiconductor. If we fail to achieve an
initial design win in a customer’s qualification process, we may lose the opportunity for significant sales to that
customer for a number of products and for a lengthy period of time. This may cause us to be unable to recoup our
investments in our semiconductor products, which would harm our business.

We have lengthy and expensive design-to-mass production and manufacturing process development cycles
that may cause us to incur significant expenses without realizing meaningful sales, the occurrence of which
would harm our business.

The cycle time from the design stage to mass production for some of our products is long and requires the

investment of significant resources with many potential customers without any guarantee of sales. Our
design-to-mass production cycle typically begins with a three-to-twelve month semiconductor development stage
and test period followed by a three-to-twelve month end-product qualification period by our customers. The
fairly lengthy front end of our sales cycle creates a risk that we may incur significant expenses but may be unable
to realize meaningful sales. Moreover, prior to mass production, customers may decide to cancel their products
or change production specifications, resulting in sudden changes in our product specifications, increasing our
production time and costs. Failure to meet such specifications may also delay the launch of our products or result
in lost sales.

In addition, we collaborate and jointly develop certain process technologies and manufacturing process

flows custom to certain of our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services customers. To the extent that our
Semiconductor Manufacturing Services customers fail to achieve market acceptance for their products, we may
be unable to recoup our engineering resources commitment and our investment in process technology
development, which would harm our business.

Research and development investments may not yield profitable and commercially viable product and service
offerings and thus will not necessarily result in increases in revenues for us.

We invest significant resources in our research and development. Our research and development efforts,
however, may not yield commercially viable products or enhance our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services
offerings. During each stage of research and development there is a substantial risk that we will have to abandon
a potential product or service offering that is no longer marketable and in which we have invested significant

22

resources. In the event we are able to develop viable new products or service offerings, a significant amount of
time will have elapsed between our investment in the necessary research and development effort and the receipt
of any related revenues.

We face numerous challenges relating to executing our growth strategy, and if we are unable to execute our
growth strategy effectively, our business and financial results could be materially and adversely affected.

Our growth strategy is to leverage our advanced analog and mixed-signal technology platform, continue to

innovate and deliver new products and services, increase business with existing customers, broaden our customer
base, aggressively grow our power business, drive execution excellence and focus on specialty process
technologies. If we are unable to execute our growth strategy effectively, we may not be able to take advantage
of market opportunities, execute our business plan or respond to competitive pressures. Moreover, if our
allocation of resources does not correspond with future demand for particular products, we could miss market
opportunities and our business and financial results could be materially and adversely affected.

We are subject to risks associated with currency fluctuations, and changes in the exchange rates of applicable
currencies could impact our results of operations.

Historically, a portion of our revenues and greater than the majority of our operating expenses and costs of

sales have been denominated in non-U.S. currencies, principally the Korean won, and we expect that this will
remain true in the future. Because we report our results of operations in U.S. dollars, changes in the exchange
rate between the Korean won and the U.S. dollar could materially impact our reported results of operations and
distort period to period comparisons. In particular, because of the difference in the amount of our consolidated
revenues and expenses that are in U.S. dollars relative to Korean won, a depreciation in the U.S. dollar relative to
the Korean won could result in a material increase in reported costs relative to revenues, and therefore could
cause our profit margins and operating income to appear to decline materially, particularly relative to prior
periods. The converse is true if the U.S. dollar were to appreciate relative to the Korean won. For example,
foreign currency fluctuations had a material unfavorable impact on our reported profit margins and operating
income from operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2010. As a result of foreign currency fluctuations, it could be more difficult to detect underlying
trends in our business and results of operations. In addition, to the extent that fluctuations in currency exchange
rates cause our results of operations to differ from our expectations or the expectations of our investors, the
trading price of our stock or the price of our outstanding senior notes could be adversely affected.

From time to time, we may engage in exchange rate hedging activities in an effort to mitigate the impact of

exchange rate fluctuations. Our Korean subsidiary enters into foreign currency option, forward, and zero cost
collar contracts in order to mitigate a portion of the impact of U.S. dollar-Korean won exchange rate fluctuations
on our operating results. These foreign currency option, forward, and zero cost collar contracts typically require
us to sell specified notional amounts in U.S. dollars and provide us the option to sell specified notional amounts
in U.S. dollars during successive months to our counterparty in exchange for Korean won at specified exchange
rates. Obligations under these foreign currency option, forward and zero cost collar contracts must be cash
collateralized if our exposure exceeds certain specified thresholds. These option, forward and zero cost collar
contracts may be terminated by the counterparty in a number of circumstances, including if our long-term debt
rating falls below B-/B3 or if our total cash and cash equivalents is less than $30 million at the end of a fiscal
quarter. We cannot assure you that any hedging technique we implement will be effective. If our hedging
activities are not effective, changes in currency exchange rates may have a more significant impact on our results
of operations. See “Part I: Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations — Factors Affecting our Results of Operations” for further details.

The global downturn and related financial crisis negatively affected our business. Poor economic conditions
may negatively affect our future business, results of operations and financial condition.

Since 2008, the global downturn and related financial crisis led to slower economic activity, increased
unemployment, concerns about inflation and energy costs, decreased business and consumer confidence, reduced
corporate profits and capital spending, adverse business conditions and lower levels of liquidity in many financial
markets. Consumers and businesses deferred purchases in response to tighter credit and negative financial news,
which has in turn negatively affected product demand and other related matters. The global downturn led to
reduced customer spending in the semiconductor market and in our target markets, made it difficult for our
customers, our vendors and us to accurately forecast and plan future business activities, and caused U.S. and
foreign businesses to slow spending on our products. Although recently there have been indications of improved
economic conditions generally and in the semiconductor industry specifically, we cannot assure you of the extent
to which such conditions will continue to improve or whether the improvement will be sustainable. If the global
economic recovery is not sustained or the global economy experiences another recession, such adverse economic
conditions could lead to the insolvency of key suppliers resulting in product delays, limit the ability of customers
to obtain credit to finance purchases of our products, lead to customer insolvencies, and also result in
counterparty failures that may negatively impact our treasury operations. As a result, our business, financial
condition and result of operations could be materially adversely affected in future periods as a result of economic
downturns.

We have a history of losses and may not achieve or sustain profitability in the future.

From the time we began operations as a separate entity in 2004 until we emerged from reorganization
proceedings in 2009, we generated significant net losses and did not generate a profit for a full fiscal year. We
may increase spending and we currently expect to incur higher expenses in each of the next several quarters to
support increased research and development and sales and marketing efforts. These expenditures may not result
in increased revenue or an increase in the number of customers immediately or at all. Because many of our
expenses are fixed in the short term, or are incurred in advance of anticipated sales, we may not be able to
decrease our expenses in a timely manner to offset any shortfall of sales. If we cannot maintain profitability, the
value of the enterprise may decline.

We emerged from Chapter 11 reorganization proceedings in 2009; because our consolidated financial
statements reflect fresh-start accounting adjustments, our future consolidated financial statements will not be
comparable in many respects to our financial information from prior periods.

On June 12, 2009, we filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy

Code in order to obtain relief from our debt, which was $845 million as of December 31, 2008. Our plan of
reorganization became effective on November 9, 2009. In connection with our emergence from the
reorganization proceedings, we implemented fresh-start accounting in accordance with ASC 852 effective from
October 25, 2009, which had a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. Thus, our future
consolidated financial statements will not be comparable in many respects to our consolidated financial
statements for periods prior to our adoption of fresh-start accounting and prior to accounting for the effects of the
reorganization proceedings. Our past financial difficulties and bankruptcy filing may have harmed, and may
continue to have a negative effect on, our relationships with investors, customers and suppliers.

The loss of our key employees would materially adversely affect our business, and we may not be able to
attract or retain the technical or management employees necessary to compete in our industry.

Our key executives have substantial experience and have made significant contributions to our business, and

our continued success is dependent upon the retention of our key management executives, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman, Sang Park. The loss of such key personnel would have a material adverse effect
on our business. In addition, our future success depends on our ability to attract and retain skilled technical and

24

managerial personnel. We do not know whether we will be able to retain all of these employees as we continue to
pursue our business strategy. The loss of the services of key employees, especially our key design and technical
personnel, or our inability to retain, attract and motivate qualified design and technical personnel could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. This could hinder our
research and product development programs or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business.

If we encounter future labor problems, we may fail to deliver our products and services in a timely manner,
which could adversely affect our revenues and profitability.

As of January 31, 2012, 2,161 employees, or approximately 64.7% of our employees, were represented by

the MagnaChip Semiconductor Labor Union, which is a member of the Federation of Korean Metal Workers
Trade Unions. We can offer no assurance that issues with the labor union and other employees will be resolved
favorably for us in the future, that we will not experience work stoppages or other labor problems in future years
or that we will not incur significant expenses related to such issues.

We may incur costs to engage in future business combinations or strategic investments, and we may not
realize the anticipated benefits of those transactions.

As part of our business strategy, we may seek to enter into business combinations, investments, joint
ventures and other strategic alliances with other companies in order to maintain and grow revenue and market
presence as well as to provide us with access to technology, products and services. Any such transaction would
be accompanied by risks that may harm our business, such as difficulties in assimilating the operations, personnel
and products of an acquired business or in realizing the projected benefits, disruption of our ongoing business,
potential increases in our indebtedness and contingent liabilities and charges if the acquired company or assets
are later determined to be worth less than the amount paid for them in an earlier original acquisition. In addition,
our indebtedness may restrict us from making acquisitions that we may otherwise wish to pursue.

The failure to achieve acceptable manufacturing yields could adversely affect our business.

The manufacture of semiconductors involves highly complex processes that require precision, a highly
regulated and sterile environment and specialized equipment. Defects or other difficulties in the manufacturing
process can prevent us from achieving acceptable yields in the manufacture of our products or those of our
Semiconductor Manufacturing Services customers, which could lead to higher costs, a loss of customers or delay
in market acceptance of our products. Slight impurities or defects in the photomasks used to print circuits on a
wafer or other factors can cause significant difficulties, particularly in connection with the production of a new
product, the adoption of a new manufacturing process or any expansion of our manufacturing capacity and
related transitions. We may also experience manufacturing problems in achieving acceptable yields as a result of,
among other things, transferring production to other facilities, upgrading or expanding existing facilities or
changing our process technologies. Yields below our target levels can negatively impact our gross profit and may
cause us to eliminate underperforming products.

We rely on a number of independent subcontractors and the failure of any of these independent
subcontractors to perform as required could adversely affect our operating results.

A substantial portion of our net sales are derived from semiconductor devices assembled in packages or on

film. The packaging and testing of semiconductors require technical skill and specialized equipment. For the
portion of packaging and testing that we outsource, we use subcontractors located in Korea, China, Taiwan,
Malaysia and Thailand. We rely on these subcontractors to package and test our devices with acceptable quality
and yield levels. We could be adversely affected by political disorders, labor disruptions, and natural disasters
where our subcontractors are located. If our semiconductor packagers and test service providers experience
problems in packaging and testing our semiconductor devices, experience prolonged quality or yield problems or
decrease the capacity available to us, our operating results could be adversely affected.

We depend on successful parts and materials procurement for our manufacturing processes, and a shortage
or increase in the price of these materials could interrupt our operations and result in a decline of revenues
and results of operations.

We procure materials and electronic and mechanical components from international sources and original

equipment manufacturers. We use a wide range of parts and materials in the production of our semiconductors,
including silicon, processing chemicals, processing gases, precious metals and electronic and mechanical
components, some of which, such as silicon wafers, are specialized raw materials that are generally only
available from a limited number of suppliers. We do not have long-term agreements providing for all of these
materials, thus, if demand increases or supply decreases for any reason, the costs of our raw materials could
significantly increase. For example, worldwide supplies of silicon wafers, an important raw material for the
semiconductors we manufacture, were constrained in recent years due to an increased demand for silicon. Silicon
is also a key raw material for solar cells, the demand for which has increased in recent years. Although supplies
of silicon have recently improved due to the entrance of additional suppliers and capacity expansion by existing
suppliers, we cannot assure you that such supply increases will match demand increases. If we cannot obtain
adequate materials in a timely manner or on favorable terms for the manufacture of our products, revenues and
results of operations will decline.

We face warranty claims, product return, litigation and liability risks and the risk of negative publicity if our
products fail.

Our semiconductors are incorporated into a number of end products, and our business is exposed to product

return, warranty and product liability risk and the risk of negative publicity if our products fail. Although we
maintain insurance for product liability claims, the amount and scope of our insurance may not be adequate to
cover a product liability claim that is asserted against us. In addition, product liability insurance could become
more expensive and difficult to maintain and, in the future, may not be available on commercially reasonable
terms, or at all.

In addition, we are exposed to the product liability risk and the risk of negative publicity affecting our

customers. Our sales may decline if any of our customers are sued on a product liability claim. We also may
suffer a decline in sales from the negative publicity associated with such a lawsuit or with adverse public
perceptions in general regarding our customers’ products. Further, if our products are delivered with impurities
or defects, we could incur additional development, repair or replacement costs, and our credibility and the
market’s acceptance of our products could be harmed.

We could suffer adverse tax and other financial consequences as a result of changes in, or differences in the
interpretation of, applicable tax laws.

Our company organizational structure was created in part based on certain interpretations and conclusions
regarding various tax laws, including withholding tax and other tax laws of applicable jurisdictions. Our Korean
subsidiary, MagnaChip Semiconductor, Ltd., or MagnaChip Korea, was granted a limited tax holiday under
Korean law in October 2004. This grant provided for certain tax exemptions for corporate taxes and withholding
taxes until December 31, 2008, and for acquisition taxes, property and land use taxes and certain other taxes until
December 31, 2013. Our interpretations and conclusions regarding tax laws, however, are not binding on any
taxing authority and, if these interpretations and conclusions are incorrect, if our business were to be operated in
a way that rendered us ineligible for tax exemptions or caused us to become subject to incremental tax, or if the
authorities were to change, modify, or have a different interpretation of the relevant tax laws, we could suffer
adverse tax and other financial consequences and the anticipated benefits of our organizational structure could be
materially impaired.

26

Our ability to compete successfully and achieve future growth will depend, in part, on our ability to protect our
proprietary technology and know-how, as well as our ability to operate without infringing the proprietary
rights of others.

We seek to protect our proprietary technologies and know-how through the use of patents, trade secrets,
confidentiality agreements and other security measures. The process of seeking patent protection takes a long time
and is expensive. There can be no assurance that patents will issue from pending or future applications or that, if
patents issue, they will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or that the rights granted under the patents
will provide us with meaningful protection or any commercial advantage. Some of our technologies are not covered
by any patent or patent application. The confidentiality agreements on which we rely to protect these technologies
may be breached and may not be adequate to protect our proprietary technologies. We cannot assure you that other
countries in which we market our services will protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the
United States. In particular, the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property in China,
where we derive a significant portion of our net sales, and certain other countries where we derive net sales, are
uncertain and still evolving and historically have not protected and may not protect in the future, intellectual
property rights to the same extent as do the laws and enforcement procedures in the United States.

Our ability to compete successfully depends on our ability to operate without infringing the proprietary
rights of others. We have no means of knowing what patent applications have been filed in the United States until
they are published. In addition, the semiconductor industry is characterized by frequent litigation regarding
patent and other intellectual property rights. We may need to file lawsuits to enforce our patents or intellectual
property rights, and we may need to defend against claimed infringement of the rights of others. Any litigation
could result in substantial costs to us and divert our resources. Despite our efforts in bringing or defending
lawsuits, we may not be able to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating our intellectual
property. In the event of an adverse outcome in any such litigation, we may be required to:

•

•

•

•

pay substantial damages or indemnify customers or licensees for damages they may suffer if the products
they purchase from us or the technology they license from us violate the intellectual property rights of
others;

stop our manufacture, use, sale or importation of infringing products; expend significant resources to
develop or acquire non-infringing technologies;

discontinue processes; or

obtain licenses to the intellectual property we are found to have infringed.

There can be no assurance that we would be successful in such development or acquisition or that such
licenses would be available under reasonable terms, or at all. The termination of key third party licenses relating
to the use of intellectual property in our products and our design processes, such as our agreements with Silicon
Works Co., Ltd. and ARM Limited, would materially and adversely affect our business.

Our competitors may develop, patent or gain access to know-how and technology similar to our own. In

addition, many of our patents are subject to cross licenses, several of which are with our competitors. In
connection with the Original Acquisition, Hynix retained a perpetual license to use the intellectual property that
we acquired from Hynix in the Original Acquisition. Under this license, Hynix and its subsidiaries are free to
develop products that may incorporate or embody intellectual property developed by us prior to October 2004.

Our expenses could increase if Hynix were unwilling or unable to provide certain services related to our
shared facilities with Hynix, and if Hynix were to become insolvent, we could lose certain of our leases.

We are party to a land lease and easement agreement with Hynix pursuant to which we lease the land for our

facilities in Cheongju, Korea. If this agreement were terminated for any reason, including the insolvency of
Hynix, we would have to renegotiate new lease terms with Hynix or the new owner of the land. We cannot assure

27

you that we could negotiate new lease terms on favorable terms or at all. Because we share certain facilities with
Hynix, several services that are essential to our business are provided to us by or through Hynix under our
general service supply agreement with Hynix. These services include electricity, bulk gases and de-ionized water,
campus facilities and housing, wastewater and sewage management, environmental safety and certain utilities
and infrastructure support services. If any of our agreements with Hynix were terminated or if Hynix were
unwilling or unable to fulfill its obligations to us under the terms of these agreements, we would have to procure
these services on our own and as a result may experience an increase in our expenses.

We are subject to many environmental laws and regulations that could affect our operations or result in
significant expenses.

We are subject to requirements of environmental, health and safety laws and regulations in each of the
jurisdictions in which we operate, governing air emissions, wastewater discharges, the generation, use, handling,
storage and disposal of, and exposure to, hazardous substances (including asbestos) and wastes, soil and
groundwater contamination and employee health and safety. These laws and regulations are complex, change
frequently and have tended to become more stringent over time. There can be no assurance that we have been, or
will be, in compliance with all such laws and regulations or that we will not incur material costs or liabilities in
connection with these laws and regulations in the future. The adoption of new environmental, health and safety
laws, the failure to comply with new or existing laws, or issues relating to hazardous substances could subject us
to material liability (including substantial fines or penalties), impose the need for additional capital equipment or
other process requirements upon us, curtail our operations or restrict our ability to expand operations.

Our Korean subsidiary has been designated as a regulated business under Korean environmental law, and
such designation could have an adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

In April 2010, the Korean government’s Enforcement Decree to the Framework Act on Low Carbon Green

Growth became effective. Certain designated businesses, including our Korean subsidiary, were required to
submit plans to reduce greenhouse emissions and energy consumption. Our Korean subsidiary set emissions and
consumption targets and negotiated an implementation plan in 2011 with Korean governmental authorities. Each
year going forward, our Korean subsidiary is required to agree upon emissions and consumption targets with
Korean governmental authorities and submit an independently-verified report of prior year compliance. If the
targets agreed upon each year with Korean governmental authorities requires us to reduce our emissions or
energy consumption, we could be subject to additional and potentially costly compliance or remediation
expenses, including potentially the installation of equipment and changes in the type of materials we use in
manufacturing, that could adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.

We may need additional capital in the future, and such capital may not be available on acceptable terms or at
all, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may require more capital in the future from equity or debt financings to fund operating expenses, such
as research and development costs, finance investments in equipment and infrastructure, acquire complementary
businesses and technologies, and respond to competitive pressures and potential strategic opportunities. If we
raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or other securities convertible into equity, our existing
stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new shares we issue could have rights, preferences or
privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. In addition, additional capital may not be available
when needed or, if available, may not be available on favorable terms. In addition, our indebtedness limits our
ability to incur additional indebtedness under certain circumstances. If we are unable to obtain capital on
favorable terms, or if we are unable to obtain capital at all, we may have to reduce our operations or forego
opportunities, and this may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.

28

Our business depends on international customers, suppliers and operations in Asia, and as a result we are
subject to regulatory, operational, financial and political risks, which could adversely affect our financial
results.

We rely on, and expect to continue to rely on, suppliers, subcontractors and operations located primarily in

Asia. As a result, we face risks inherent in international operations, such as unexpected changes in regulatory
requirements, tariffs and other market barriers, political, social and economic instability, adverse tax
consequences, war, civil disturbances and acts of terrorism, difficulties in accounts receivable collection,
extended payment terms and differing labor standards, enforcement of contractual obligations and protection of
intellectual property. These risks may lead to increased costs or decreased revenue growth, or both. Although we
do not derive any revenue from, nor sell any products in, North Korea, any future increase in tensions between
South Korea and North Korea that may occur, such as an outbreak of military hostilities, would adversely affect
our business, financial condition and results of operations.

You may not be able to bring an action or enforce any judgment obtained in United States courts, or bring an
action in any other jurisdiction, against us or our subsidiaries or our directors, officers or independent
auditors that are organized or residing in jurisdictions other than the United States.

Most of our subsidiaries are organized or incorporated outside of the United States and some of our directors and
executive officers as well as our independent auditors are organized or reside outside of the United States. Most of our
and our subsidiaries’ assets are located outside of the United States and in particular, in Korea. Accordingly, any
judgment obtained in the United States against us or our subsidiaries may not be collectible in the United States. As a
result, it may not be possible for you to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons or to
enforce against them or us court judgments obtained in the United States that are predicated upon the civil liability
provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or of the securities laws of any state of the United States.
In particular, there is doubt as to the enforceability in Korea or any other jurisdictions outside the United States, either
in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of United States courts, of civil liabilities predicated on
the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state of the United States.

Our level of indebtedness is substantial, and we may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our
indebtedness and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which
may not be successful. A decline in the ratings of our existing or future indebtedness may make the terms of
any new indebtedness we choose to incur more costly.

As of December 31, 2011, our total indebtedness was $201.4 million. Our substantial debt could have

important consequences, including:

•

•

•

•

increasing our vulnerability to general economic and industry conditions;

requiring a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to be dedicated to the payment of principal
and interest on our indebtedness, therefore reducing our ability to use our cash flow to fund our operations,
capital expenditures and future business opportunities;

limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service
requirements, acquisitions and general corporate or other purposes; and

limiting our ability to adjust to changing market conditions and placing us at a competitive disadvantage
compared to our competitors who have less debt.

Our ability to make scheduled payments on or to refinance our debt obligations depends on our financial
condition and operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to
certain financial, business and other factors beyond our control. We cannot assure you that we will generate a
level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and
interest on our indebtedness.

The credit ratings assigned to our debt reflect each rating agency’s opinion of our ability to make payments

on the debt obligations when such payments are due. The current rating of our senior notes is B2 by Moody’s and
B+ by Standard and Poors, both of which are below investment grade. A rating may be subject to revision or
withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. We may experience downgrades in our debt ratings in the
future. Any lowering of our debt ratings would adversely impact our ability to raise additional debt financing and
increase the cost of any such financing that is obtained. In the event any ratings downgrades are significant, we
may choose not to incur new debt or refinance existing debt if we are unable to incur or refinance such debt at
favorable interest rates or on favorable terms.

If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations or if we are

unable to refinance existing indebtedness on favorable terms, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital
expenditures, sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. These alternative
measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. In the
absence of such operating results and resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be
required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations. The indentures
governing our notes restrict our ability to dispose of assets and use the proceeds from the disposition. We may
not be able to consummate those dispositions or be able to obtain the proceeds which we could realize from them
and these proceeds may not be adequate to meet any debt service obligations then due.

We are a holding company and will depend on the business of our subsidiaries to satisfy our obligations under
our outstanding senior notes and other obligations.

Each of MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation, MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A. and MagnaChip

Semiconductor B.V. is a holding company with no independent operations of its own. Our subsidiaries, including
our principal manufacturing subsidiary, MagnaChip Korea, own all of our operating businesses. Our subsidiaries
will conduct substantially all of the operations necessary to fund payments on our outstanding senior notes, other
debt and any other obligations. Our ability to make payments on the senior notes and our other obligations will
depend on our subsidiaries’ cash flow and their payment of funds to us. Our subsidiaries’ ability to make
payments to us will depend on:

•

•

•

•

•

their earnings;

covenants contained in our debt agreements (including the indenture governing the senior notes) and the
debt agreements of our subsidiaries;

covenants contained in other agreements to which we or our subsidiaries are or may become subject;

business and tax considerations; and

applicable law, including any restrictions under Korean law that may be imposed on MagnaChip Korea that
would restrict its ability to make payments on intercompany loans from MagnaChip Semiconductor B.V.

We cannot assure you that the operating results of our subsidiaries at any given time will be sufficient to
make distributions or other payments to us or that any distributions or payments will be adequate to pay principal
and interest, and any other payments, on our outstanding senior notes, other debt or any other obligations when
due, and the failure to make such payments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

Restrictions on MagnaChip Korea’s ability to make payments on its intercompany loans from MagnaChip
Semiconductor B.V., or on its ability to pay dividends in excess of statutory limitations, could hinder our
ability to make payments on our 10.500% senior notes due 2018.

We anticipate that payments under our 10.500% senior notes due 2018 will be funded in part by MagnaChip

Korea’s repayment of its existing loans from MagnaChip Semiconductor B.V., with MagnaChip Semiconductor

30

B.V. using such repayments in turn to repay the loans owed to MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A. Under the
Korean Foreign Exchange Transaction Act, the minister of the Ministry of Strategy and Finance is authorized to
temporarily suspend payments in foreign currencies in the event of natural calamities, wars, conflicts of arms,
grave and sudden changes in domestic or foreign economic conditions, or other similar situations. In addition,
under the Korean Commercial Code, a Korean company is permitted to make a dividend payment in accordance
with the provisions in its articles of incorporation out of retained earnings (as determined in accordance with the
Korean Commercial Code and the generally accepted accounting principles in Korea), but no more than twice a
year. If MagnaChip Korea is prevented from making payments under its intercompany loans due to restrictions
on payments of foreign currency or if it has an insufficient amount of retained earnings under the Korean
Commercial Code to make dividend payments to MagnaChip Semiconductor B.V., we may not have sufficient
funds to make payments on the senior notes.

The indenture governing the senior notes contains, and our future debt agreements will likely contain,
covenants that significantly restrict our operations.

The indenture governing our outstanding senior notes contains, and our future debt agreements will likely
contain, numerous covenants imposing financial and operating restrictions on our business. These restrictions may
affect our ability to operate our business, may limit our ability to take advantage of potential business opportunities
as they arise and may adversely affect the conduct of our current business, including by restricting our ability to
finance future operations and capital needs and by limiting our ability to engage in other business activities. These
covenants will place restrictions on our ability and the ability of our operating subsidiaries to, among other things:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

pay dividends, redeem shares or make other distributions with respect to equity interests, make payments
with respect to subordinated indebtedness or other restricted payments;

incur debt or issue preferred stock;

create liens;

make certain investments;

consolidate, merge or dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, taken as a whole;

sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of assets, including equity interests of our subsidiaries;

enter into sale-leaseback transactions;

enter into transactions with our affiliates; and

designate our subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.

In addition, our future debt agreements will likely contain financial ratios and other financial conditions
tests. Our ability to meet those financial ratios and tests could be affected by events beyond our control, and we
cannot assure you that we will meet those ratios and tests. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a
default under such debt agreements. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under such debt agreements, our
lenders under such agreements could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under such debt agreements to be
immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit.

Investor confidence may be adversely impacted if we fail to achieve and maintain effective internal control
over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures or are unable to comply with Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and as a result, the value of our securities could decline.

Beginning with our fiscal year ending December 31, 2011, we are subject to rules adopted by the Securities
Exchange Commission, or SEC, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or Sarbanes-Oxley
Act, which requires us to include in our Annual Report on Form 10-K our management’s report on, and
assessment of the effectiveness of, our internal control over financial reporting.

31

If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, there is a risk that we
will have additional material weaknesses in the future. Moreover, effective internal controls are necessary for us
to produce reliable financial reports and are important to helping prevent financial fraud. Any of these possible
outcomes could result in an adverse reaction in the financial marketplace due to a loss of investor confidence in
the reliability of our consolidated financial statements and could result in investigations or sanctions by the SEC,
the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, or other regulatory authorities or in stockholder litigation. Any of
these factors ultimately could harm our business and could negatively impact the market price of our securities.
Ineffective control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial
information, which could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

We are also required to periodically assess and report on the adequacy of our disclosure controls and

procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that
information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms,
and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, with the participation of it
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. However, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer,
does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system,
no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the
objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there
are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the
inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all
control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. See “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.”

We may need to incur impairment and other restructuring charges, which could materially affect our results
of operations and financial conditions.

During industry downturns and for other reasons, we may need to record impairment or restructuring charges.
From November 9, 2009, the date we emerged from Chapter 11 reorganization proceedings, through December 31,
2011, we recognized aggregate restructuring and impairment charges of $6.1 million, which consisted of
$4.5 million of impairment charges and $1.6 million of restructuring charges. In the future, we may need to record
additional impairment charges or to further restructure our business or incur additional restructuring charges, any of
which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

We are subject to litigation risks, which may be costly to defend and the outcome of which is uncertain.

All industries, including the semiconductor industry, are subject to legal claims, with and without merit, that

may be particularly costly and which may divert the attention of our management and our resources in general.
We are involved in a variety of legal matters, most of which we consider routine matters that arise in the normal
course of business. These routine matters typically fall into broad categories such as those involving customers,
employment and labor and intellectual property. Even if the final outcome of these legal claims does not have a
material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, defense and settlement costs
can be substantial. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, the resolution of any particular legal
claim or proceeding could have a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or
cash flows.

The price of our common stock may be volatile and you may lose all or a part of your investment.

The trading price of our common stock might be subject to wide fluctuations. Factors, some of which are

beyond our control, that could affect the trading price of our common stock may include:

•

actual or anticipated variations in our results of operations from quarter to quarter or year to year;

32

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

announcements by us or our competitors of significant agreements, technological innovations or strategic
alliances;

changes in recommendations or estimates by any securities analysts who follow our securities;

addition or loss of significant customers;

recruitment or departure of key personnel;

changes in economic performance or market valuations of competing companies in our industry;

price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market;

market conditions in our industry, end markets and the economy as a whole;

subsequent sales of stock and other financings; and

litigation, legislation, regulation or technological developments that adversely affect our business.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a public company’s securities, securities

class action litigation often has been instituted against the public company. Regardless of its outcome, this type
of litigation could result in substantial costs to us and a likely diversion of our management’s attention. You may
not receive a positive return on your investment when you sell your shares, and you could lose some or the entire
amount of your investment.

Control by principal stockholders could adversely affect our other stockholders.

Based upon the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2011, our executive
officers, directors and funds affiliated with Avenue collectively beneficially owned approximately 55.0% of our
common stock, excluding shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants, and
56.3% of our common stock, including shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and
warrants that are exercisable within sixty days of December 31, 2011. In addition, Avenue currently has three
employees serving as members of our seven-member board of directors. Therefore, Avenue will continue to have
significant influence over our affairs for the foreseeable future, including influence over the election of directors and
significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of our company or our assets

Our concentration of ownership will limit the ability of other stockholders to influence corporate matters

and, as a result, we may take actions that our non-sponsor stockholders do not view as beneficial. For example,
our concentration of ownership could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control or otherwise
discouraging a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could cause the market
price of our common stock to decline or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over the market price
for their shares of our common stock.

Under our certificate of incorporation, our non-employee directors and non-employee holders of five
percent or more of our outstanding common stock do not have a duty to refrain from engaging in a corporate
opportunity in the same or similar activities or lines of business as those engaged in by us, our subsidiaries and
other related parties. Also, we have renounced any interest or expectancy in such business opportunities even if
the opportunity is one that we might reasonably have pursued or had the ability or desire to pursue if granted an
opportunity to do so.

We are controlled by Avenue, whose interests in our business may conflict with yours, and we are a
“controlled company” within the meaning of NYSE rules.

As of December 31, 2011, Avenue beneficially owned approximately 20,789,539 shares, or 54.0%, of our

outstanding common stock, including shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options
and warrants that are exercisable within sixty days of December 31, 2011. Accordingly, Avenue is able to control

33

K
-
0
1
m
r
o
F

most matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant
corporate transactions, including mergers and sales of substantially all of our assets. Because of the equity
ownership of Avenue, we are considered a “controlled company” for purposes of the NYSE listing requirements.
As such, we are exempt from the NYSE corporate governance requirements that our board of directors meet the
standards of independence established by those corporate governance requirements and exempt from the
requirements that we have separate Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees made
up entirely of directors who meet such independence standards. We have chosen to utilize the exemption
available for controlled companies. The NYSE independence standards are intended to ensure that directors who
meet the independence standards are free of any conflicting interest with management that could influence their
actions as directors. It is possible that the interests of Avenue may in some circumstances conflict with our
interests and the interests of our other stockholders.

There is a concentration of ownership of our common stock, and future sales of significant amounts of our
common stock could negatively affect our stock price, even if our business is doing well.

As of December 31, 2011, Avenue beneficially owned approximately 20,789,539 shares, or 54.0%, of our
outstanding common stock. All of our currently outstanding shares that were issued pursuant to Section 1145 of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, including Avenue’s shares, are eligible for sale from time to time under Rule 144,
Rule 701 or Section 4(1) of the Securities Act, subject only to the limitations on affiliate sales. If any of our
current stockholders, including Avenue, sells or is perceived by the market as intending to sell substantial
amounts of our common stock, the market price of our common stock could drop significantly, even if our
business is doing well.

Provisions in our charter documents and Delaware Law may make it difficult for a third party to acquire us
and could depress the price of our common stock.

Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing a

change of control or changes in our management. Among other things, our certificate of incorporation and
bylaws:

•

•

•

•

•

•

authorize our board of directors to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock with such terms as
the board of directors may determine;

divide our board of directors into three classes so that only approximately one-third of the total number of
directors is elected each year;

permit directors to be removed only for cause by a majority vote;

prohibit action by written consent of our stockholders;

prohibit any person other than our board of directors, the chairman of our board of directors, our Chief
Executive Officer or holders of at least 25% of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital
stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors to call a special meeting of our
stockholders; and

specify advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and director nominations.

In addition we are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or

DGCL, regulating corporate takeovers and which has an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not
approved in advance by our board of directors, including discouraging takeover attempts that might result in a
premium over the market price for shares of our common stock. In general, those provisions prohibit a Delaware
corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three
years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

•

the transaction is approved by the board of directors before the date the interested stockholder attained that
status;

34

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested
stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation
outstanding at the time the transaction commenced; or

on or after such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at a
meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock
that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

In general, Section 203 defines a business combination to include the following:

any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;

any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the
interested stockholder;

subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any
stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;

any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the
stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or

the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other
financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.

In general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or

more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or
controlled by any such entity or person.

A Delaware corporation may opt out of this provision by express provision in its original certificate of

incorporation or by amendment to its certificate of incorporation or bylaws approved by its stockholders.
However, we have not opted out of, and do not currently intend to opt out of, this provision.

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, and therefore, investors should rely on sales of
their common stock as the only way to realize any future gains on their investments.

We do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of cash dividends on

common stock is restricted under the terms of the indenture for our senior notes. Any determination to pay
dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors. Accordingly, investors must rely on
sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any
future gains on their investments.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

Item 2. Properties

Our manufacturing operations consist of three fabrication facilities located in Korea at two sites in Cheongju
and one in Gumi. Our facilities have a combined capacity of approximately 136,000 eight-inch equivalent wafers
per month. We manufacture wafers utilizing geometries ranging from 0.11 to 2.0 micron. The Cheongju facilities
have three main buildings totaling 164,058 square meters devoted to manufacturing and development. The Gumi
facility has one main building with 41,022 square meters devoted to manufacturing, testing and packaging.

In addition to our fabrication facilities, we lease facilities in Seoul, Korea, and Cupertino, California. Each

of these facilities includes administration, sales and marketing and research and development functions. We lease
sales and marketing offices through our subsidiaries in several other countries.

The ownership of our wafer manufacturing assets is an important component of our business strategy.
Maintaining manufacturing control enables us to develop proprietary, differentiated products and results in
higher production yields, as well as shortened design and production cycles. We believe our facilities are suitable
and adequate for the conduct of our business for the foreseeable future and that we have sufficient production
capacity to service our business as currently contemplated without significant capital investment.

A substantial majority of our assembly, test and packaging services for our Display Solutions business and

all of such services for our Power Solutions business are outsourced with the balance handled in-house. Our
independent providers of these services are located in Korea, China, Malaysia and Thailand. The relative cost of
outsourced services, as compared to in-house services, depends upon many factors specific to each product and
circumstance. However, we generally incur higher costs for outsourced services, which can result in lower
margins.

Although we own our manufacturing facilities, we are party to a land lease and easement agreement with

Hynix pursuant to which we lease the land for our facilities in Cheongju, Korea from Hynix for an indefinite
term. Because we share certain facilities with Hynix, several services that are essential to our business are
provided to us by or through Hynix under our general service supply agreement with Hynix. These services
include electricity, bulk gases and de-ionized water, campus facilities and housing, wastewater and sewage
management, environmental safety and certain utilities and infrastructure support services. The services
agreement continues for an indefinite term subject to each party having a right to terminate in the event of an
uncured breach by the other party.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

We are subject to lawsuits and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business and intellectual property

litigation and infringement claims. Intellectual property litigation and infringement claims, in particular, could
cause us to incur significant expenses or prevent us from selling our products. We are currently not involved in
any legal proceedings the outcome of which we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition or results of operations.

Dividends

We do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We anticipate

that we will retain all of our future earnings for use in the development of our business and for general corporate
purposes. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors. The
payment of cash dividends on our common stock is restricted under the terms of the indenture governing our
senior notes.

On April 19, 2010, we made a $130.7 million cash distribution to our unitholders using proceeds from the
sale of our senior notes. The per common unit distribution was $0.4254 or $3.4032 per share after giving effect to
the corporate conversion.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

We have converted from a Delaware limited liability company into a Delaware corporation. At the time of

the corporate conversion in March 2011, all of the outstanding common units of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC
were automatically converted into shares of our common stock and all of the outstanding warrants to purchase
common units of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC were automatically converted into warrants to purchase shares
of our common stock. The issuance of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock to our members in
the corporate conversion were exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of the exemption
provided under Section 3(a)(9) thereof as the common stock and warrants were exchanged by us with our
existing security holders exclusively where no commission or other remuneration is paid or given directly or
indirectly for soliciting such exchange. The issuance of common stock and warrants also was exempt from
registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof as a transaction not involving a public
offering or, with respect to certain of our existing security holders, Regulation S thereof as an issuance to
non-U.S. persons in transactions that took place outside of the U.S. In addition, as part of our corporate
conversion, we converted outstanding options to purchase common units of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC into
options to purchase shares of our common stock. The issuance of such options to purchase shares of our stock
pursuant to such corporate conversion was exempt from registration in reliance upon exemptions from the
registration requirements provided by Rule 701 under the Securities Act relating to transactions occurring under
compensatory benefit plans or provided by Regulation S to non-U.S. persons in transactions that took place
outside of the U.S.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On October 11, 2011, we announced that our board of directors adopted a stock repurchase program

whereby we may, subject to prevailing market conditions and other factors, repurchase up to $35.0 million of our
outstanding common stock, par value $0.01 per share. The program began on October 27, 2011 and will end on
October 27, 2012 unless earlier terminated by our board. The program does not require that we purchase a
minimum amount of shares of our common stock and may be commenced, suspended, resumed or terminated at
any time without notice. The following table summarizes our repurchases during the three months ended
December 31, 2011.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

The following tables set forth selected historical consolidated financial data of MagnaChip
Semiconductor Corporation on or as of the dates and for the periods indicated. The selected historical
consolidated financial data presented below should be read together with “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our consolidated financial statements, including
the notes to those consolidated financial statements, appearing elsewhere in this Report.

We have derived the selected consolidated financial data as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and for the

year ended December 31, 2011, the year ended December 31, 2010, the two-month period ended December 31,
2009 and the ten-month period ended October 25, 2009 from the historical audited consolidated financial
statements of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC included elsewhere in this Report. We have derived the selected
consolidated financial data as of December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 and for the years ended December 31, 2008
and 2007 from the historical audited consolidated financial statements of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC not
included in this Report. The historical consolidated financial data for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the
two-month period ended December 31, 2009 give retroactive effect to the corporate conversion. The historical
results of MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation for any prior period are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected in any future period.

In connection with our emergence from reorganization proceedings, we implemented fresh-start

accounting in accordance with ASC 852 governing reorganizations. We elected to adopt a convenience date of
October 25, 2009 (a month end for our financial reporting purposes) for application of fresh-start accounting. In
accordance with the ASC 852 governing reorganizations, we recorded largely non-cash reorganization income
and expense items directly associated with our reorganization proceedings including professional fees, the
revaluation of assets, the effects of our reorganization plan and fresh-start accounting and write-off of debt
issuance costs. As a result of the application of fresh-start accounting, our financial statements prior to and
including October 25, 2009 represent the operations of our pre-reorganization predecessor company and are
presented separately from the financial statements of our post-reorganization successor company. As a result of
the application of fresh-start accounting, the financial statements prior to and including October 25, 2009 are not
fully comparable with the financial statements for periods after October 25, 2009.

(1) As of October 25, 2009, the fresh-start adoption date, we adopted fresh-start accounting for our consolidated financial statements.

Because of the emergence from reorganization proceedings and adoption of fresh-start accounting, the historical financial information for
periods after October 25, 2009 is not fully comparable to periods before October 25, 2009. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Recent Changes to Our Business.”

(2) Total indebtedness is calculated as long and short-term borrowings, including the current portion of long-term borrowings.
(3) Long-term obligations include long-term borrowings, capital leases and redeemable convertible preferred units.
(4) We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) less income from discontinued operations, net of taxes, adjusted to exclude
(i) depreciation and amortization associated with continuing operations, (ii) interest expense, net, (iii) income tax expenses,
(iv) restructuring and impairment charges, (v) other restructuring charges, (vi) reorganization items, net, (vii) the increase in cost of sales
resulting from the fresh-start accounting inventory step-up, (viii) equity-based compensation expense, (ix) foreign currency loss (gain),
net, (x) derivative valuation loss, net, (xi) one-time incentive payments in connection with the MagnaChip Corporation IPO and (xii) loss
on early extinguishment of senior notes. See the footnotes to the table below for further information regarding these items. We present
Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance because:

•

•

•

•

Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the impact of a number of items that may be either one time or recurring items that we do not consider
to be indicative of our core ongoing operating performance;

we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an enterprise level performance measure commonly reported and widely used by analysts and
investors in our industry;

we anticipate that our investor and analyst presentations after we are public will include Adjusted EBITDA; and

we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with a more consistent measurement of period to period performance of our
core operations, as well as a comparison of our operating performance to that of other companies in our industry.

We use Adjusted EBITDA in a number of ways, including:

•

•

•

•

for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget;

to evaluate the effectiveness of our enterprise level business strategies;

in communications with our board of directors concerning our consolidated financial performance; and

in certain of our compensation plans as a performance measure for determining incentive compensation
payments.

We encourage you to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons we consider them appropriate. In evaluating
Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in
this presentation. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure defined in accordance with GAAP and should not be
construed as an alternative to income from continuing operations, cash flows from operating activities or net
income (loss), as determined in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted
EBITDA is as follows:

(a) This adjustment is comprised of all items included in the restructuring and impairment charges line item on our consolidated statements
of operations, and eliminates the impact of restructuring and impairment charges related to (i) for 2011, restructuring charges of $1.6
million related to the closure of our research and development center in Japan and sales subsidiary in the U.K. and impairment charges
related to $2.0 million from twelve abandoned in-process research and development projects and one dropped existing technology, $0.4
million from one abandoned system project and $0.1 million from impairment of tangible and intangible assets, (ii) for 2010, impairment
charges of $2.0 million recorded, of which $1.6 million of impairment charges were recognized for abandoned in-process research and
development projects and $0.4 million of impairment charges were recognized as a result of an annual impairment test of in-process
research and development, accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets as part of the application of fresh-start accounting, and
(iii) for 2009, termination benefits and other related costs, for the ten-month period ended October 25, 2009 in connection with the
closure of one of our research and development facilities in Japan. We do not believe these restructuring and impairment charges are
indicative of our core ongoing operating performance because we do not anticipate similar facility closures and market driven events in
our ongoing operations, although we cannot guarantee that similar events will not occur in the future.

(b) This adjustment relates to certain restructuring charges that are not included in the restructuring and impairment charges line item on our
consolidated statements of operations. These items are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated
statements of operations and are comprised of a charge of $13.3 million for restructuring-related professional fees and related expenses
for 2009. We do not believe these other restructuring charges are indicative of our core ongoing operating performance because these
charges were related, in significant part, to actions we took in response to the impacts on our business resulting from the global economic
recession that persisted through 2008 and 2009. We cannot guarantee that similar charges will not be incurred in the future.
(c) This adjustment eliminates the impact of largely non-cash reorganization income and expense items directly associated with our

reorganization proceedings from our ongoing operations including, among others, professional fees, the revaluation of assets, the effects
of the Chapter 11 reorganization plan and fresh-start accounting principles and the write-off of debt issuance costs. Included in
reorganization items, net for the ten-month period ended October 25, 2009 was our predecessor’s gain recognized from the effects of our
reorganization proceedings. The gain results from the difference between our predecessor’s carrying value of remaining pre-petition
liabilities subject to compromise and the amounts to be distributed pursuant to the reorganization proceedings. The gain from the effects
of the reorganization proceedings and the application of fresh-start accounting principles is comprised of the discharge of liabilities
subject to compromise, net of the issuance of new common units and new warrants and the accrual of amounts to be settled in cash. For
details regarding this adjustment, see Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements of MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation included
elsewhere in this Report. We do not believe these items are indicative of our core ongoing operating performance because they were
incurred as a result of our Chapter 11 reorganization.

(d) This adjustment eliminates the one-time impact on cost of sales associated with the write-up of our inventory in accordance with the

principles of fresh-start accounting upon consummation of the Chapter 11 reorganization.

(e) This adjustment eliminates the impact of non-cash equity-based compensation expenses. Although we expect to incur non-cash equity-

based compensation expenses in the future, we believe that analysts and investors will find it helpful to review our operating
performance without the effects of these non-cash expenses, as supplemental information.

(f) This adjustment eliminates the impact of non-cash foreign currency translation associated with intercompany debt obligations and

foreign currency denominated receivables and payables, as well as the cash impact of foreign currency transaction gains or losses on
collection of such receivables and payment of such payables. Although we expect to incur foreign currency translation gains or losses in
the future, we believe that analysts and investors will find it helpful to review our operating performance without the effects of these
primarily non-cash gains or losses, as supplemental information.

(g) This adjustment eliminates the impact of gain or loss recognized in income on derivatives, which represents hedge ineffectiveness or

derivatives value changes excluded from the risk being hedged. We enter into derivative transactions to mitigate foreign exchange risks.
As our derivative transactions are limited to a certain portion of our expected cash flows denominated in USD, and we do not enter into
derivative transactions for trading or speculative purposes, we do not believe that these charges or gains are indicative of our core
operating performance.

(h) This adjustment eliminates the one-time impact of incentive payments to all employees excluding management in connection with the

MagnaChip Corporation IPO.

(i) This adjustment eliminates the impact of loss on repurchase of $46.3 million of our senior notes for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our
results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

•

•

•

•

•

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual
commitments;

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments,
on our debt;

although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be
replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of issuing equity-based compensation to our management team
and employees;

42

•

•

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the costs of holding certain assets and liabilities in foreign currencies; and

other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative
measure.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in
the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA
only supplementally.

(5) We present Adjusted Net Income as a further supplemental measure of our performance. We prepare Adjusted Net Income by adjusting
net income (loss) to eliminate the impact of a number of non-cash expenses and other items that may be either one time or recurring that
we do not consider to be indicative of our core ongoing operating performance. We believe that Adjusted Net Income is particularly
useful because it reflects the impact of our asset base and capital structure on our operating performance.

We present Adjusted Net Income for a number of reasons, including:

•

•

•

•

we use Adjusted Net Income in communications with our board of directors concerning our consolidated financial performance;

we believe that Adjusted Net Income is an enterprise level performance measure commonly reported and widely used by analysts
and investors in our industry; and

we anticipate that our investor and analyst presentations after we are public will include Adjusted Net Income.

Adjusted Net Income is not a measure defined in accordance with GAAP and should not be construed as an alternative to income
from continuing operations, cash flows from operating activities or net income (loss), as determined in accordance with GAAP. We
encourage you to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons we consider them appropriate. Other companies in our industry may
calculate Adjusted Net Income differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. In addition, in evaluating
Adjusted Net Income, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this presentation.
We define Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) less income from discontinued operations, net of taxes, excluding
(i) restructuring and impairment charges, (ii) other restructuring charges, (iii) reorganization items, net, (iv) the increase in cost of
sales resulting from the fresh-start accounting inventory step-up, (v) equity-based compensation expense, (vi) amortization of
intangibles associated with continuing operations, (vii) foreign currency loss (gain), net, (viii) derivative valuation loss, net, (ix) one-
time incentive payments in connection with the MagnaChip Corporation IPO and (x) loss on early extinguishment of senior notes.

The following table summarizes the adjustments to net income (loss) that we make in order to calculate Adjusted
Net Income for the periods indicated:

(a) This adjustment is comprised of all items included in the restructuring and impairment charges line item on our consolidated statements
of operations, and eliminates the impact of restructuring and impairment charges related to (i) for 2011, restructuring charges of $1.6
million related to the closure of our research and development center in Japan and sales subsidiary in the U.K. and impairment charges
related to $2.0 million from twelve abandoned in-process research and development projects and one dropped existing technology, $0.4

43

million from one abandoned system project and $0.1 million from impairment of tangible and intangible assets, (ii) for 2010, impairment
charges of $2.0 million recorded, of which $1.6 million of impairment charges were recognized for abandoned in-process research and
development projects and $0.4 million of impairment charges were recognized as a result of an annual impairment test of in-process
research and development, accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets as part of the application of fresh-start accounting and
(iii) for 2009, termination benefits and other related costs, for the ten-month period ended October 25, 2009 in connection with the
closure of one of our research and development facilities in Japan. We do not believe these restructuring and impairment charges are
indicative of our core ongoing operating performance because we do not anticipate similar facility closures and market driven events in
our ongoing operations, although we cannot guarantee that similar events will not occur in the future.

(b) This adjustment relates to certain restructuring charges that are not included in the restructuring and impairment charges line item on our
consolidated statements of operations. These items are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated
statements of operations and comprised of a charge of $13.3 million for restructuring-related professional fees and related expenses for
2009. We do not believe these other restructuring charges are indicative of our core ongoing operating performance because these
charges were related, in significant part, to actions we took in response to the impacts on our business resulting from the global economic
recession that persisted through 2008 and 2009. We cannot guarantee that similar charges will not be incurred in the future.
(c) This adjustment eliminates the impact of largely non-cash reorganization income and expense items directly associated with our

reorganization proceedings from our ongoing operations including, among others, professional fees, the revaluation of assets, the effects
of the Chapter 11 reorganization plan and fresh-start accounting principles and the write-off of debt issuance costs. Included in
reorganization items, net for the ten-month period ended October 25, 2009 was our predecessor’s gain recognized from the effects of our
reorganization proceedings. The gain results from the difference between our predecessor’s carrying value of remaining pre-petition
liabilities subject to compromise and the amounts to be distributed pursuant to the reorganization proceedings. The gain from the effects
of the reorganization proceedings and the application of fresh-start accounting principles is comprised of the discharge of liabilities
subject to compromise, net of the issuance of new common units and new warrants and the accrual of amounts to be settled in cash. For
details regarding this adjustment, see Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements of MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation included
elsewhere in this Report. We do not believe these items are indicative of our core ongoing operating performance because they were
incurred as a result of our reorganization proceedings.

(d) This adjustment eliminates the one-time impact on cost of sales associated with the write-up of our inventory in accordance with the

principles of fresh-start accounting upon consummation of the Chapter 11 reorganization.

(e) This adjustment eliminates the impact of non-cash equity-based compensation expenses. Although we expect to incur non-cash equity-

based compensation expenses in the future, we believe that analysts and investors will find it helpful to review our operating
performance without the effects of these non-cash expenses, as supplemental information.

(f) This adjustment eliminates the non-cash impact of amortization expense for intangible assets created as a result of the purchase

accounting treatment of the Original Acquisition and other subsequent acquisitions, and from the application of fresh-start accounting in
connection with the reorganization proceedings. We do not believe these non-cash amortization expenses for intangibles are indicative of
our core ongoing operating performance because the assets would not have been capitalized on our balance sheet but for the application
of purchase accounting or fresh-start accounting, as applicable.

(g) This adjustment eliminates the impact of non-cash foreign currency translation associated with intercompany debt obligations and

foreign currency denominated receivables and payables, as well as the cash impact of foreign currency transaction gains or losses on
collection of such receivables and payment of such payables. Although we expect to incur foreign currency translation gains or losses in
the future, we believe that analysts and investors will find it helpful to review our operating performance without the effects of these
primarily non-cash gains or losses, as supplemental information.

(h) This adjustment eliminates the impact of gain or loss recognized in income on derivatives, which represents hedge ineffectiveness or

derivatives value changes excluded from the risk being hedged. We enter into derivative transactions to mitigate foreign exchange risks.
As our derivative transactions are limited to a certain portion of our expected cash flows denominated in USD, and we do not enter into
derivative transactions for trading or speculative purposes, we do not believe that these charges or gains are indicative of our core
operating performance.

(i) This adjustment eliminates the one-time impact of incentive payments to all employees excluding management in connection with the

MagnaChip Corporation IPO.

(j) This adjustment eliminates the impact of loss on repurchase of $46.3 million of our senior notes for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Adjusted Net Income has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our
results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

•

•

•

•

•

Adjusted Net Income does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual
commitments;

Adjusted Net Income does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

Adjusted Net Income does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of issuing equity-based compensation to our management
team and employees;

Adjusted Net Income does not reflect the costs of holding certain assets and liabilities in foreign currencies; and

other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted Net Income differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative
measure.

44

Because of these limitations, Adjusted Net Income should not be considered as a measure of discretionary
cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying
primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted Net Income only supplementally.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated

financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Report. This discussion and analysis
contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that include risks and uncertainties.
Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of
certain factors, including those set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Report.

Overview

We are a Korea-based designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products for
high-volume consumer applications. We believe we have one of the broadest and deepest analog and mixed-signal
semiconductor technology platforms in the industry, supported by our 30-year operating history, large portfolio of
approximately 2,975 registered novel patents and 425 pending novel patent applications and extensive engineering
and manufacturing process expertise. Our business is comprised of three key segments: Display Solutions, Power
Solutions and Semiconductor Manufacturing Services. Our Display Solutions products include display drivers that
cover a wide range of flat panel displays and multimedia devices. Our Power Solutions products include discrete
and integrated circuit solutions for power management in high-volume consumer applications. Our Semiconductor
Manufacturing Services segment provides specialty analog and mixed-signal foundry services for fabless
semiconductor companies that serve the consumer, computing and wireless end markets.

Our wide variety of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products and manufacturing services
combined with our deep technology platform allows us to address multiple high-growth end markets and to
rapidly develop and introduce new products and services in response to market demands. Our substantial
manufacturing operations in Korea and design center in Korea place us at the core of the global consumer
electronics supply chain. We believe this enables us to quickly and efficiently respond to our customers’ needs
and allows us to better service and capture additional demand from existing and new customers.

To maintain and increase our profitability, we must accurately forecast trends in demand for consumer

electronics products that incorporate semiconductor products we produce. We must understand our customers’ needs as
well as the likely end market trends and demand in the markets they serve. We must balance the likely manufacturing
utilization demand of our product businesses and foundry business to optimize our facilities utilization. We must also
invest in relevant research and development activities and manufacturing capacity and purchase necessary materials on a
timely basis to meet our customers’ demand while maintaining our target margins and cash flow.

The semiconductor markets in which we participate are highly competitive. The prices of our products
tend to decrease regularly over their useful lives, and such price decreases can be significant as new generations
of products are introduced by us or our competitors. We strive to offset the impact of declining selling prices for
existing products through cost reductions and the introduction of new products that command selling prices
above the average selling price of our existing products. In addition, we seek to manage our inventories and
manufacturing capacity so as to mitigate the risk of losses from product obsolescence.

Demand for our products and services is driven primarily by overall demand for consumer electronics
products and can be adversely affected by periods of weak consumer spending or by market share losses by our
customers. To mitigate the impact of market volatility on our business, we seek to address market segments and
geographies with higher growth rates than the overall consumer electronics industry. We expect to derive a
meaningful portion of our growth from growing demand in such markets. We also expect that new competitors
will emerge in these markets that may place increased pressure on the pricing for our products and services, but
we believe that we will be able to successfully compete based upon our higher quality products and services and

45

K
-

m
r
o
F

that the impact from the increased competition will be more than offset by increased demand arising from such
markets. Further, we believe we are well-positioned competitively as a result of our long operating history,
existing manufacturing capacity and our Korea-based operations.

Within our Display Solutions and Power Solutions segments, net sales are driven by design wins in

which we or another company is selected by an electronics OEM or other potential customer to supply its
demand for a particular product. A customer will often have more than one supplier designed in to multi-source
components for a particular product line. Once designed in, we often specify the pricing of a particular product
for a set period of time, with periodic discussions and renegotiations of pricing with our customers. In any given
period, our net sales depend heavily upon the end-market demand for the goods in which our products are used,
the inventory levels maintained by our customers and in some cases, allocation of demand for components for a
particular product among selected qualified suppliers.

Within the Semiconductor Manufacturing Services business, net sales are driven by customers’ decisions

on which manufacturing services provider to use for a particular product. Most of our Semiconductor
Manufacturing Services customers are fabless and depend upon service providers like us to manufacture their
products. A customer will often have more than one supplier of manufacturing services; however, they tend to
allocate a majority of manufacturing volume to one of their suppliers. We strive to be the primary supplier of
manufacturing services to our customers. Once selected as a primary supplier, we often specify the pricing of a
particular service on a per wafer basis for a set period of time, with periodic discussions and renegotiations of
pricing with our customers. In any given period, our net sales depend heavily upon the end-market demand for the
goods in which the products we manufacture for customers are used, the inventory levels maintained by our
customers and in some cases, allocation of demand for manufacturing services among selected qualified suppliers.

In contrast to fabless semiconductor companies, our internal manufacturing capacity provides us with

greater control over manufacturing costs and the ability to implement process and production improvements
which can favorably impact gross profit margins. Our internal manufacturing capacity also allows for better
control over delivery schedules, improved consistency over product quality and reliability and improved ability
to protect intellectual property from misappropriation. However, having internal manufacturing capacity exposes
us to the risk of under-utilization of manufacturing capacity which results in lower gross profit margins,
particularly during downturns in the semiconductor industry.

Our products and services require investments in capital equipment. Analog and mixed-signal

manufacturing facilities and processes are typically distinguished by the design and process implementation
expertise rather than the use of the most advanced equipment. These processes also tend to migrate more slowly to
smaller geometries due to technological barriers and increased costs. For example, some of our products use high-
voltage technology that requires larger geometries and that may not migrate to smaller geometries for several years,
if at all. Additionally, the performance of many of our products is not necessarily dependent on geometry. As a
result, our manufacturing base and strategy does not require substantial investment in leading edge process
equipment, allowing us to utilize our facilities and equipment over an extended period of time with moderate
required capital investments. Generally, incremental capacity expansions in our segment of the market result in
more moderate industry capacity expansion as compared to leading edge processes. As a result, this market, and we,
specifically, are less likely to experience significant industry overcapacity, which can cause product prices to plunge
dramatically. In general, we seek to invest in manufacturing capacity that can be used for multiple high-value
applications over an extended period of time. We believe this capital investment strategy enables us to optimize our
capital investments and facilitates deeper and more diversified product and service offerings.

Our success going forward will depend upon our ability to adapt to future challenges such as the

emergence of new competitors for our products and services or the consolidation of current competitors.
Additionally, we must innovate to remain ahead of, or at least rapidly adapt to, technological breakthroughs that
may lead to a significant change in the technology necessary to deliver our products and services. We believe
that our established relationships and close collaboration with leading customers enhance our visibility into new
product opportunities, market and technology trends and improve our ability to meet these challenges

46

successfully. In our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services business, we strive to maintain competitiveness and
our position as a primary manufacturing services provider to our customers by offering high value added, unique
processes, high flexibility and excellent service.

Controls and Procedures

In connection with the audits of our consolidated financial statements for the ten-month period ended

October 25, 2009 and two-month period ended December 31, 2009, our independent registered public accounting
firm reported two control deficiencies which represented a material weakness in our internal control over financial
reporting. The two control deficiencies were that we did not have a sufficient number of financial personnel with
requisite financial accounting experience and that our internal controls over non-routine transactions were not
effective to ensure that accounting considerations are identified and appropriately recorded. We identified and took
steps to remediate this material weakness. Based on assessments of the remediation actions taken, our management
concluded that those two control deficiencies which represented a material weakness no longer existed as of
December 31, 2010. See “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” for management’s remediation initiatives.

Recent Developments

On June 12, 2009, we filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code in order to address the growing demands on our cash flow resulting from our long-term
indebtedness. Our plan of reorganization went effective and we emerged from the reorganization proceeding on
November 9, 2009. As a result of the plan of reorganization, our indebtedness was reduced from $845.0 million
immediately prior to the effectiveness of our plan of reorganization to $61.8 million as of December 31, 2009.

In connection with our emergence from reorganization proceedings, we implemented fresh-start

accounting in accordance with ASC 852 governing reorganizations. We elected to adopt a convenience date of
October 25, 2009 (a month end for our financial reporting purposes) for application of fresh-start accounting. In
accordance with ASC 852 governing reorganizations, we recorded largely non-cash reorganization income and
expense items directly associated with our reorganization proceedings including professional fees, the
revaluation of assets, the effects of our reorganization plan and fresh-start accounting, and write-off of debt
issuance costs.

On April 9, 2010, we completed the sale of $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 10.500%

senior notes due 2018, which we refer to as the senior notes. Of the $238.4 million of net proceeds, $130.7
million was used to make a distribution to our equityholders and $61.6 million was used to repay all outstanding
borrowings under our term loan. The remaining proceeds of $46.1 million were retained to fund working capital
and for general corporate purposes.

In March 2011, we completed an initial public offering, which we refer to as the “MagnaChip
Corporation IPO,” of 9,500,000 shares of common stock, and we listed on the NYSE. All shares were sold in the
form of depositary shares and each depositary share represented an ownership interest in one share of common
stock. Of the 9,500,000 shares, 950,000 shares were newly issued by us and 8,550,000 shares were sold by
selling stockholders. All outstanding depositary shares were automatically cancelled on April 24, 2011 and the
underlying shares of common stock were issued to the holders of such cancelled depositary shares. We received
$12.4 million of proceeds from the issuance of the new shares of common stock after deducting underwriters’
discounts and commissions, and we did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock
offered by the selling stockholders. We incurred $10.8 million of MagnaChip Corporation IPO expenses that
were recorded as decrease of additional paid-in capital in our consolidated balance sheets.

Prior to the MagnaChip Corporation IPO, our board of directors and the holders of a majority of our

outstanding common units converted MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC from a Delaware limited liability
company to MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation, a Delaware corporation. In connection with the corporate

47

conversion, outstanding common units of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC were automatically converted into
shares of common stock of MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation, outstanding options to purchase common
units of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC were automatically converted into options to purchase shares of
common stock of MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation and outstanding warrants to purchase common units of
MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC were automatically converted into warrants to purchase shares of common stock
of MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation, all at a ratio of one share of common stock for eight common units.

On May 16, 2011, two of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A. and MagnaChip
Semiconductor Finance Company, repurchased $35.0 million out of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount
of our senior notes then outstanding at a price of 109.0% from funds affiliated with Avenue Capital Management
II, L.P. In connection with the May 2011 repurchase of the senior notes, the Company recognized $4.1 million of
loss on early extinguishment of senior notes, which consisted of $3.2 million from repurchase premium, $0.4
million from write-off of discounts, $0.2 million from write-off of debt issuance costs and $0.3 million from
incurrence of direct legal and advisory service fees.

On September 19, 2011, two our wholly-owned subsidiaries, MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A. and MagnaChip
Semiconductor Finance Company, repurchased $11.3 million out of $215 million aggregate principal amount of our
senior notes then outstanding at a price of 107.5%. In connection with the September 2011 repurchase of the senior
notes, we recognized $1.4 million of loss on early extinguishment of senior notes, which consisted of $0.9 million
from repurchase premium, $0.1 million from write-off of discounts, $0.4 million from write-off of debt issuance
costs.

On October 11, 2011, we announced that our board of directors adopted a stock repurchase program

whereby we may, subject to prevailing market conditions and other factors, repurchase up to $35.0 million of our
outstanding common stock. The stock repurchase program began on October 27, 2011 and will end on
October 27, 2012 unless earlier terminated by our board. The stock repurchase program does not require that we
purchase a minimum amount of shares of our common stock and may be commenced, suspended, resumed or
terminated at any time without notice. As of December 31, 2011, we had purchased 1,531,540 shares of our
common stock in the open market at an aggregate cost of $11.8 million.

On March 2, 2012, our Korean subsidiary, MagnaChip Semiconductor, Ltd., acquired certain assets and
liabilities of a privately-held semiconductor company that designs and manufactures IGBT, Fast Recovery Diode
and MOSFET modules.

Business Segments

We report in three separate business segments because we derive our revenues from three principal

business lines: Display Solutions, Power Solutions, and Semiconductor Manufacturing Services. We have
identified these segments based on how we allocate resources and assess our performance.

•

•

Display Solutions: Our Display Solutions products include source and gate drivers and timing controllers
that cover a wide range of flat panel displays used in LCD televisions and LED televisions and displays,
mobile PCs and mobile communications and entertainment devices. Our display solutions support the
industry’s most advanced display technologies, such as LTPS and AMOLED, as well as high-volume
display technologies such as TFT. Our Display Solutions business represented 43.9%, 39.7% and 50.5% of
our net sales for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 (on a combined basis),
respectively.

Power Solutions: Our Power Solutions segment produces power management semiconductor products
including discrete and integrated circuit solutions for power management in high-volume consumer
applications. These products include MOSFETs, LED drivers, DC-DC converters, analog switches and
linear regulators, such as low-dropout regulators, or LDOs. Our Power Solutions products are designed for
applications such as mobile phones, LCD televisions, and desktop computers, and allow electronics

48

manufacturers to achieve specific design goals of high efficiency and low standby power consumption.
Going forward, we expect to continue to expand our power management product portfolio. Our Power
Solutions business represented 12.0%, 7.4% and 2.2% of our net sales for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 (on a combined basis), respectively.

•

Semiconductor Manufacturing Services: Our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services segment provides
specialty analog and mixed-signal foundry services to fabless semiconductor companies that serve the
consumer, computing and wireless end markets. We manufacture wafers based on our customers’ product
designs. We do not market these products directly to end customers but rather supply manufactured wafers
and products to our customers to market to their end customers. We offer approximately 278 process flows
to our manufacturing services customers. We also often partner with key customers to jointly develop or
customize specialized processes that enable our customers to improve their products and allow us to develop
unique manufacturing expertise. Our manufacturing services are targeted at customers who require
differentiated, specialty analog and mixed-signal process technologies such as high voltage CMOS,
embedded memory and power. These customers typically serve high-growth and high-volume applications
in the consumer, computing and wireless end markets. Our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services business
represented 43.8%, 52.6% and 46.7% of our net sales for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011, 2010
and 2009 (on a combined basis), respectively.

Additional Business Metrics Evaluated by Management

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income

We use the terms Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income throughout this Report. Adjusted
EBITDA, as we define it, is a non-GAAP measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) less
income from discontinued operations, net of taxes, adjusted to exclude (i) depreciation and amortization
associated with continuing operations, (ii) interest expense, net, (iii) income tax expenses, (iv) restructuring and
impairment charges, (v) other restructuring charges, (vi) reorganization items, net, (vii) the increase in cost of

We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance because:

Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the impact of a number of items that may be either one time or recurring that
we do not consider to be indicative of our core ongoing operating performance;

we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an enterprise level performance measure commonly reported and
widely used by analysts and investors in our industry;

our investor and analyst presentations include Adjusted EBITDA; and

we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with a more consistent measurement of period to
period performance of our core operations, as well as a comparison of our operating performance to
companies in our industry.

We use Adjusted EBITDA in a number of ways, including:

for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget;

to evaluate the effectiveness of our enterprise level business strategies;

in communications with our board of directors concerning our consolidated financial performance; and

in certain of our compensation plans as a performance measure for determining incentive compensation
payments.

We present Adjusted Net Income for a number of reasons, including:

we use Adjusted Net Income in communications with our board of directors concerning our consolidated
financial performance;

we believe that Adjusted Net Income is an enterprise level performance measure commonly reported and
widely used by analysts and investors in our industry; and

we anticipate that our investor and analyst presentations after we are public will include Adjusted Net
Income.

In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income, you should be aware that in the future we

may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net
Income. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income should not be construed as an
inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA and
Adjusted Net Income are not measures defined in accordance with GAAP and should not be construed as an
alternative to operating income, cash flows from operating activities or net income (loss), as determined in
accordance with GAAP.

Our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income for the year ended December 31, 2011 were

$142.5 million and $66.4 million, respectively. Our Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income for the year
ended December 31, 2010 were $157.9 million and $89.2 million, respectively. Our Adjusted EBITDA and
Adjusted Net Income for the combined twelve-month period ended December 31, 2009 were $98.7 million and
$22.6 million, respectively

Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

Net Sales. We derive a majority of our sales (net of sales returns and allowances) from three reportable
segments: Display Solutions, Power Solutions and Semiconductor Manufacturing Services. Our product inventory
is primarily located in Korea and is available for drop shipment globally. Outside of Korea, we maintain limited
product inventory, and our sales representatives generally relay orders to our factories in Korea for fulfillment. We
have strategically located our sales and technical support offices near concentrations of major customers. Our sales
offices are located in Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China and the United States. Our network of authorized
agents and distributors consists of agents in the United States and Europe and distributors and agents in the Asia
Pacific region. Our net sales from All other consist principally of rental income and the disposal of waste materials
and, to a limited extent in 2011, semiconductor processing services for one customer where we completed a limited
number of process steps, rather than the entire production process, which we refer to as unit processing.

We recognize revenue when risk and reward of ownership passes to the customer either upon shipment,

upon product delivery at the customer’s location or upon customer acceptance, depending on the terms of the
arrangement. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, our net sales to our ten largest customers
represented 63% and 63% of our net sales, respectively. We have a combined production capacity of over 136,000
eight-inch equivalent semiconductor wafers per month. We believe our large-scale, cost-effective fabrication
facilities enable us to rapidly adjust our production levels to meet shifts in demand by our end customers.

50

Gross Profit. Our overall gross profit generally fluctuates as a result of changes in overall sales

volumes and in the average selling prices of our products and services. Other factors that influence our gross
profit include changes in product mix, the introduction of new products and services and subsequent generations
of existing products and services, shifts in the utilization of our manufacturing facilities and the yields achieved
by our manufacturing operations, changes in material, labor and other manufacturing costs and variation in
depreciation expense. Gross profit varies by our operating segments.

Average Selling Prices. Average selling prices for our products tend to be highest at the time of

introduction of new products which utilize the latest technology and tend to decrease over time as such products
mature in the market and are replaced by next generation products. We strive to offset the impact of declining
selling prices for existing products through our product development activities and by introducing new products
that command selling prices above the average selling price of our existing products. In addition, we seek to
manage our inventories and manufacturing capacity so as to preclude losses from product and productive
capacity obsolescence.

Material Costs. Our cost of sales consists of costs of raw materials, such as silicon wafers, chemicals,

gases and tape, packaging supplies, equipment maintenance and depreciation expenses. We use processes that
require specialized raw materials, such as silicon wafers, that are generally available from a limited number of
suppliers. If demand increases or supplies decrease, the costs of our raw materials could significantly increase.

Labor Costs. A significant portion of our employees are located in Korea. Under Korean labor laws,

most employees and certain executive officers with one or more years of service are entitled to severance
benefits upon the termination of their employment based on their length of service and rate of pay. As of
December 31, 2011, approximately 98.4% of our employees were eligible for severance benefits.

Depreciation Expense. We periodically evaluate the carrying values of long-lived assets, including

property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, as well as the related depreciation periods. We depreciated
our property, plant and equipment using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of our assets.
Depreciation rates vary from 30-40 years on buildings to five to 12 years for certain equipment and assets. Our
evaluation of carrying values is based on various analyses including cash flow and profitability projections. If our
projections indicate that future undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying values of the
related long-lived assets, the carrying value of the assets is impaired and will be reduced, with the reduction
charged to expense so that the carrying value is equal to fair value.

Prior to July 1, 2011, we depreciated machinery and measurement equipment using the straight-line method

over 5 to 10 years. However, based on an evaluation of the appropriateness of depreciable lives including a
review of historical usage and an expansion of our Power Solutions business, we determined that machinery and
measurement equipment have a longer life than previously estimated. As a result, we changed the estimate of
depreciable lives for machinery and measurement equipment to 10 to 12 years. The purpose of this change was to
more accurately reflect the productive life of these assets. In accordance with ASC 250-10-45, “Accounting
Changes and Error Corrections,” the change in life has been accounted for as a change in accounting estimate on
a prospective basis from July 1, 2011. As a result of the change in the estimated life of machinery and
measurement equipment, cost of sales was $4.8 million lower, net income was $5.2 million higher and net
income per diluted share was $0.13 higher for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Selling Expenses. We sell our products worldwide through a direct sales force as well as a network of

sales agents and representatives to OEMs, including major branded customers and contract manufacturers, and
indirectly through distributors. Selling expenses consist primarily of the personnel costs for the members of our
direct sales force, a network of sales representatives and other costs of distribution. Personnel costs include base
salary, benefits and incentive compensation. As incentive compensation is tied to various net sales goals, it will
increase or decrease with net sales.

51

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses consist of the costs of

various corporate operations, including finance, legal, human resources and other administrative functions. These
expenses primarily consist of payroll-related expenses, consulting and other professional fees and office facility-
related expenses. Historically, our selling, general and administrative expenses have remained relatively constant
as a percentage of net sales, and we expect this trend to continue in the future.

Research and Development. The rapid technological change and product obsolescence that

characterize our industry require us to make continuous investments in research and development. Product
development time frames vary but, in general, we incur research and development costs one to two years before
generating sales from the associated new products. These expenses include personnel costs for members of our
engineering workforce, cost of photomasks, silicon wafers and other non-recurring engineering charges related to
product design. Additionally, we develop base-line process technology through experimentation and through the
design and use of characterization wafers that help achieve commercially feasible yields for new products. The
majority of research and development expenses are for process development that serves as a common technology
platform for all of our product segments. Consequently, we do not allocate these expenses to individual
segments.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges. We evaluate the recoverability of certain long-lived assets

and in-process research and development assets on a periodic basis or whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. In our efforts to improve our overall
profitability in future periods, we have closed or otherwise impaired, and may in the future close or impair,
facilities that are underutilized and that are no longer aligned with our long-term business goals.

Interest Expense, Net. Our interest expense was incurred primarily under our senior notes. In April

2010, we repaid our term loan with a portion of the proceeds from our sale of $250.0 million in aggregate
principal amount of 10.500% senior notes due 2018. We repurchased $35.0 million and $11.3 million of such
senior notes in May and September 2011, respectively.

Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange Rates on Reported Results of Operations. Historically, a
portion of our revenues and greater than the majority of our operating expenses and costs of sales have been
denominated in non-U.S. currencies, principally the Korean won, and we expect that this will remain true in the
future. Because we report our results of operations in U.S. dollars converted from our non-U.S. revenues and
expenses based on monthly average exchange rates, changes in the exchange rate between the Korean won and
the U.S. dollar could materially impact our reported results of operations and distort period to period
comparisons. In particular, because of the difference in the amount of our consolidated revenues and expenses
that are in U.S. dollars relative to Korean won, depreciation in the U.S. dollar relative to the Korean won could
result in a material increase in reported costs relative to revenues, and therefore could cause our profit margins
and operating income (loss) to appear to decline materially, particularly relative to prior periods. The converse is
true if the U.S. dollar were to appreciate relative to the Korean won. As a result of such foreign currency
fluctuations, it could be more difficult to detect underlying trends in our business and results of operations. In
addition, to the extent that fluctuations in currency exchange rates cause our results of operations to differ from
our expectations or the expectations of our investors, the trading price of our stock could be adversely affected.

From time to time, we may engage in exchange rate hedging activities in an effort to mitigate the impact of

exchange rate fluctuations. Our Korean subsidiary enters into foreign currency option, forward and zero cost
collar contracts in order to mitigate a portion of the impact of U.S. dollar-Korean won exchange rate fluctuations
on our operating results. These foreign currency option, forward and zero cost collar contracts typically require
us to sell specified notional amounts in U.S. dollars and provide us the option to sell specified notional amounts
in U.S. dollars during successive months to our counterparty in exchange for Korean won at specified exchange
rates. Obligations under these foreign currency option, forward and zero cost collar contracts must be cash
collateralized if our exposure exceeds certain specified thresholds. These option, forward and zero cost collar
contracts may be terminated by the counterparty in a number of circumstances, including if our long-term debt

52

rating falls below B-/B3 or if our total cash and cash equivalents is less than $30.0 million at the end of a fiscal
quarter. We cannot assure you that any hedging technique we implement will be effective. If our hedging
activities are not effective, changes in currency exchange rates may have a more significant impact on our results
of operations.

Foreign Currency Gain or Loss. Foreign currency translation gains or losses on transactions by us or

our subsidiaries in a currency other than our or our subsidiaries’ functional currency are included in our
statements of operations as a component of other income (expense). A substantial portion of this net foreign
currency gain or loss relates to non-cash translation gain or loss related to the principal balance of intercompany
balances at our Korean subsidiary that are denominated in U.S. dollars. This gain or loss results from fluctuations
in the exchange rate between the Korean won and U.S. dollar.

Income Taxes. We record our income taxes in each of the tax jurisdictions in which we operate. This
process involves using an asset and liability approach whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for
differences in the financial reporting bases and tax bases of our assets and liabilities. We exercise significant
management judgment in determining our provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities. We
assess whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets existing at the period-end will be realized in
future periods. In such assessment, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled
reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of
operations. In the event, we were to determine that it would be able to realize the deferred income tax assets in
the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would adjust the valuation allowance, which would reduce
the provision for income taxes. Our income tax expense has been low in absolute dollars and as a percentage of
net sales principally due to the availability of tax loss carry-forwards.

Our operations are subject to income and transaction taxes in the United States and in multiple foreign

jurisdictions including Korea. Significant estimates and judgments are required in determining our worldwide
provision for income taxes. Some of these estimates are based on interpretations of existing tax laws or
regulations. The ultimate amount of tax liability may be uncertain as a result.

Capital Expenditures. We invest in manufacturing equipment, software design tools and other tangible

and intangible assets for capacity expansion and technology improvement. Capacity expansions and technology
improvements typically occur in anticipation of seasonal increases in demand. We typically pay for capital
expenditures in partial installments with portions due on order, delivery and final acceptance. Our capital
expenditures include our payments for the purchase of property, plant and equipment as well as payments for the
registration of intellectual property rights.

Inventories. We monitor our inventory levels in light of product development changes and market

expectations. We may be required to take additional charges for quantities in excess of demand, cost in excess of
market value and product age. Our analysis may take into consideration historical usage, expected demand,
anticipated sales price, new product development schedules, the effect new products might have on the sales of
existing products, product age, customer design activity, customer concentration and other factors. These
forecasts require us to estimate our ability to predict demand for current and future products and compare those
estimates with our current inventory levels and inventory purchase commitments. Our forecasts for our inventory
may differ from actual inventory use.

Principles of Consolidation. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our

company and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in
consolidation.

Segments. We operate in three segments: Display Solutions, Power Solutions and Semiconductor

Manufacturing Services. Net sales for the All other category primarily relate to certain business activities that do
not constitute operating or reportable segments.

100.0% $ 2.4

Net sales were $772.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, a $2.4 million, or 0.3%, increase

compared to $770.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Display Solutions. Net sales from our Display Solutions segment were $339.0 million for the year

ended December 31, 2011, a $33.1 million, or 10.8%, increase compared to $305.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to a 4.6% increase in product sales volume related to higher
demand for certain consumer electronics products such as digital televisions, PCs and smart phones and a 4.5%
increase in average selling prices due to an improved product mix.

Power Solutions. Net sales from our Power Solutions segment were $92.5 million for the year ended

December 31, 2011, a $35.2 million, or 61.6%, increase compared to $57.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to a 56.5% increase in sales volume and a 3.3 % increase in
average selling prices driven by an improved product mix and higher demand for MOSFET products from
existing and new customers as we expanded this business.

Semiconductor Manufacturing Services. Net sales from our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services

segment were $338.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, a $66.9 million, or 16.5%, decrease
compared to $405.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to a 23.3%
decrease in sales volume of eight-inch equivalent wafers driven by weak market demand, which was partially
offset by a 7.0% increase in average selling prices due to an improved product mix of advanced process
geometry.

All Other. Net sales from All other were $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, a

$1.0 million, or 47.3%, increase compared to $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. This increase
resulted from the disposal of waste materials.

Net sales in Korea for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased from $379.1 million to $397.3

million compared to the year ended December 31, 2010, or by $18.2 million, or 4.8%, primarily due to increased
demand in the market for Display Solution products. Net sales in North America for the year ended
December 31, 2011 decreased from $95.2 million to $81.7 million compared to the year ended December 31,
2010, or by $13.5 million, or 14.1%, primarily due to decreased demand for Semiconductor Manufacturing
Services products.

Gross Profit

Total gross profit was $234.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to

$243.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, a $9.3 million, or 3.8%, decrease. Gross profit as a
percentage of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2011 decreased to 30.3% compared to 31.6% for the
year ended December 31, 2010. This decrease in gross margin was primarily attributable to an increase in unit
cost of sales resulting from lower utilization of manufacturing facilities in our Semiconductor Manufacturing
Services segment. Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased by $11.7 million compared to
the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to a $13.2 million increase in

56

subcontractor costs due to the increased sales volume in our Power Solutions segment and Display Solutions
segment, which was partially offset by a $5.2 million decrease in material costs due to lower sales volume driven
by our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services segment.

Operating Expenses

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses were

$68.4 million, or 8.8% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $66.6 million, or 8.6% of
net sales for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses for the year ended

December 31, 2011 were $76.8 million, a decrease of $6.7 million, or 8.1%, from $83.5 million for the year
ended December 31, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to a $8.5 million decrease in depreciation and
amortization expenses due to fully amortized existing technology in 2010. Research and development expenses
as a percentage of net sales were 9.9% in the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to 10.8% in the year
ended December 31, 2010.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges. Restructuring and impairment charges increased by
$2.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the year ended December 31, 2010. Restructuring
charges of $1.6 million recorded for the year ended December 31, 2011 were related to the closure of our
research and development center in Japan and sales subsidiary in U.K. Impairment charges of $2.5 million for the
year ended December 31, 2011 consisted of $2.0 million from twelve abandoned in-process research and
development projects and one dropped existing technology, and $0.5 million from one abandoned system project.
Impairment charges of $2.0 million recorded in the year ended December 31, 2010 were related to impairment of
in-process research and development projects, which were accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets as
part of the application of fresh-start accounting.

Special expense for the MagnaChip Corporation IPO Incentive. We previously stated our intention to
use part of the net proceeds from the MagnaChip Corporation IPO to make incentive payments to all employees,
excluding management. The payment of such employee incentives was contingent upon the consummation of the
MagnaChip Corporation IPO. We paid the MagnaChip Corporation IPO incentives in March 2011.

Operating Income

As a result of the foregoing, operating income decreased by $18.6 million, or 20.2%, in the year ended

December 31, 2011 compared to the year ended December 31, 2010. As discussed above, the decrease in
operating income primarily resulted from the payment of a $12.1 million incentive in connection with the
MagnaChip Corporation IPO, a $2.1 million increase in restructuring and impairment charges, a $9.3 million
decrease in gross profit and a $1.8 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, which were
partially offset by a $6.7 million decrease in research and development expenses.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense was $25.0 million during the year ended December 31,

2011, an increase of $2.1 million compared to $22.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Interest
expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 was incurred primarily under our $250.0 million principal amount
senior notes issued on April 9, 2010. We repurchased $35.0 million and $11.3 million out of $250.0 million
aggregate principal amount of our senior notes on May 16 and September 19, 2011, respectively. Interest expense
for the year ended December 31, 2010 was incurred under our $250.0 million principal amount senior notes
issued on April 9, 2010 and partially incurred under our $61.6 million principal amount of new term loan, which
was fully repaid on April 9, 2010.

Foreign Currency Gain (Loss), Net. Net foreign currency loss for the year ended December 31, 2011

was $11.6 million, compared to net foreign currency gain of $14.7 million for the year December 31, 2010. A
substantial portion of our net foreign currency gain or loss is non-cash translation gain or loss associated with
intercompany balances at our Korean subsidiary and is affected by changes in the exchange rate between the
Korean won and the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency translation gain from intercompany balances was included in
determining our consolidated net income since the intercompany balances were not considered long-term
investments in nature because management intended to settle these intercompany balances at their respective
maturity dates. The Korean won to U.S. dollar exchange rates were 1,153.3:1 and 1,138.9:1 using the first base
rate as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, as quoted by the Korea Exchange Bank.

Loss on early extinguishment of senior notes. We repurchased $35.0 million and $11.3 million out of

$250.0 million aggregate principal amount of our senior notes originally outstanding on May 16 and September 19,
2011, respectively. We recognized $5.5 million of loss on early extinguishment of our senior notes, which consisted
of $4.0 million from repurchase premium, $0.6 million from write-off of discounts, $0.6 million from write-off of
debt issuance costs and $0.3 million from incurrence of direct legal and advisory service fees.

Others. Others were comprised of gains and losses on valuation of derivatives which were designated

as hedging instruments. Net loss on valuation of derivatives for the year ended December 31, 2011 represents
either hedge ineffectiveness or components of changes in fair value of derivatives excluded from the assessments
of hedge effectiveness.

Income Tax Expenses. Income tax expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $8.0 million,

compared to income tax expenses of $8.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Income tax expenses
for the year ended December 31, 2011 were comprised of $0.2 million of current income tax expenses, net
incurred in various jurisdictions in which our overseas subsidiaries are located, $5.9 million of withholding taxes
mostly accrued on intercompany interest payments, which would be utilized as foreign tax credits, but due to the
uncertainty of utilization, full valuation allowance was recognized, $0.6 million of additional recognition of
liabilities for uncertain tax positions and a $1.3 million income tax effect from the change of deferred tax assets.

Net Income (Loss)

As a result of the foregoing, net income decreased by $52.3 million in the year ended December 31,

2011 compared to the year ended December 31, 2010. As discussed above, the decrease in net income was
primarily due to a $26.3 million decrease in foreign currency gain, a $18.6 million decrease in operating income,
a $2.1 million increase in interest expenses and a $5.5 million of loss on early extinguishment of senior notes,
which were partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in income tax expenses.

Net sales were $770.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, a $210.3 million, or 37.6 %, increase

compared to $560.1 million for the combined twelve-month period ended December 31, 2009, or $111.1 million for

59

the two-month period ended December 31, 2009 and $449.0 million for the ten-month period ended October 25, 2009.
This increase was primarily due to increases in our product sales volume driven by overall business recovery in the
market and an improved product mix, which were partially offset by a decrease in average selling prices.

Display Solutions. Net sales from our Display Solutions segment were $305.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 2010, a $22.9 million, or 8.1%, increase compared to $282.9 million for the combined twelve-month
period ended December 31, 2009, or $51.0 million for the two-month period ended December 31, 2009 and $231.9
million for the ten-month period ended October 25, 2009. The increase was primarily due to a 26.6% increase in
sales volume. Sales volume increased as the consumer electronics industry began to recover from the economic
slowdown and demand and shipments for certain consumer electronics products such as digital televisions, PCs and
smart phones increased. This increase was partially offset by a 15.1% decrease in average selling prices, which was
primarily from consumer price declines for LCD televisions, PC monitors and mobile devices.

Power Solutions. Net sales from our Power Solutions segment were $57.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2010, a $44.9 million, or 362.9%, increase compared to $12.4 million for the combined twelve-
month period ended December 31, 2009, or $4.7 million for the two-month period ended December 31, 2009 and
$7.6 million for the ten-month period ended October 25, 2009. The increase was primarily due to a 173.5%
increase in sales volume and a 69.2% increase in average selling prices driven by an improved product mix and
higher demand for MOSFET products from existing and new customers as we grew this business.

Semiconductor Manufacturing Services. Net sales from our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services

segment were $405.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, a $143.8 million, or 55.0%, increase
compared to $261.4 million for the combined twelve-month period ended December 31, 2009, or $54.8 million
for the two-month period ended December 31, 2009 and $206.7 million for the ten-month period ended
October 25, 2009. This increase was primarily due to a 52.1% increase in sales volume and 2.0% increase in
average selling prices of eight-inch equivalent wafers driven by a strong market demand upside due to the
recovery from the economic slowdown and an improved product mix of advanced process geometry.

All Other. Net sales from All other were $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, a
$1.3 million, or 38.5%, decrease compared to $3.3 million for the combined twelve-month period ended
December 31, 2009, or $0.5 million for the two-month period ended December 31, 2009 and $2.8 million for the
ten-month period ended October 25, 2009. This decrease resulted from lower rental income due to the relocation
of one lessee of our building.

Net sales in Korea for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased compared to the combined twelve-

month period ended December 31, 2009, primarily due to the overall business recovery in the market and
increased demand for Display Solutions products and Semiconductor Manufacturing Services. Net sales in Asia
Pacific and North America for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased compared to the combined twelve-
month period ended December 31, 2009, primarily due to the overall business recovery in the market and
increased demand for Semiconductor Manufacturing Services and Power Solutions products.

Gross Profit

Total gross profit was $243.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to

$158.5 million for the combined twelve-month period ended December 31, 2009, or $20.7 million for the
two-month period ended December 31, 2009 and $137.8 million for the ten-month period ended October 25,
2009, a $85.0 million, or 53.6%, increase. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the year ended
December 31, 2010 increased to 31.6% compared to 28.3% for the combined twelve-month period ended
December 31, 2009. This increase in gross margin was primarily attributable to increased sales volume and a
positive favorable impact on cost of sales in 2010 by the fresh-start inventory valuation, partially offset by lower
average selling prices, which adversely impacted cost of sales to a greater extent than the favorable impact on net
sales. Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2010 increased by $125.3 million compared to the combined
twelve-month period ended December 31, 2009. The increase in cost of sales was primarily due to a $27.0
million increase in material costs, a $40.0 million increase in labor costs resulting from the increased sales
volume and the reinstatement of our salary levels from our company-wide voluntary salary reductions that were
in effect in the first half of 2009, a $16.9 million increase in subcontractor costs due to the increased sales
volume and a $22.4 million increase in overhead costs related to maintenance, repair and supplies expense
incurred for maintaining higher levels of utilization of our manufacturing facilities.

Operating Expenses

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses were

$66.6 million, or 8.6% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $70.8 million, or 12.6%
of net sales for the combined twelve-month period ended December 31, 2009. The decrease of $4.2 million, or
5.9%, was primarily attributable to a $15.3 million decrease in outside service expenses, primarily due to a
decrease in restructuring-related professional fees and related expenses. These decreases were partially offset by
a $7.3 million increase in salaries and severance benefits resulting from the reinstatement of our salary levels
from our company-wide voluntary salary reductions that were in effect in the first half of 2009.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses for the year ended
December 31, 2010 were $83.5 million, an increase of $12.6 million, or 17.8%, from $70.9 million for the
combined twelve-month period ended December 31, 2009. This increase was due to a $5.1 million increase in
salaries and related expenses resulting from the reinstatement of our salary levels from our company-wide
voluntary salary reductions that were in effect in the first half of 2009, a $1.9 million increase in material costs, a
$1.1 million increase in outside service fees and a $4.2 million increase in amortization expenses due to the
write-up of our intangible assets in accordance with fresh-start accounting. These increases were partially offset
by a $5.3 million decrease in costs transferred from manufacturing to research and development expenses due to
improved facilities utilization resulting from our higher net sales. Research and development expenses as a
percentage of net sales were 10.8% in the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to 12.7% in the combined
twelve-month period ended December 31, 2009.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges. Restructuring and impairment charges increased by

$1.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the combined twelve-month period ended
December 31, 2009. Impairment charges of $2.0 million recorded in the year ended December 31, 2010 were
related to impairment of in-process research and development projects, which were accounted for as indefinite-lived
intangible assets as part of the application of fresh-start accounting. Of the impairment charges of $2.0 million, $1.6
million of impairment charges were recognized for abandoned in-process research and development projects and

61

$0.4 million of impairment charges were recognized as a result of our annual impairment test of in-process research
and development. Restructuring charges of $0.4 million recorded in the combined twelve-month period ended
December 31, 2009 were related to the closure of our research and development facilities in Japan.

Operating Income from Continuing Operations

As a result of the foregoing, operating income from continuing operations increased by $75.0 million,

or 458.5%, in the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the combined twelve-month period ended
December 31, 2009. As discussed above, the increase in operating income from continuing operations was
primarily a result of the 37.6% increase in net sales over the prior year, partially offset by a $12.6 million, or
17.8%, increase in research and development expenses during the same year. The increase in net sales for the
year ended December 31, 2010 is mainly due to increased sales volume driven by overall business recovery in
the market and an improved product mix, primarily in connection with our Semiconductor Manufacturing
Services segment.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense was $22.9 million during the year ended December 31,

2010, a decrease of $9.5 million compared to $32.4 million for the combined twelve-month period ended
December 31, 2009. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 was incurred under our
$250.0 million principal amount senior notes issued on April 9, 2010 and partially incurred under our new term
loan, which was fully repaid on April 9, 2010. Interest expense for the combined twelve-month period ended
December 31, 2009 was mainly incurred under our $750.0 million principal amount of notes and $95.0 million
senior secured credit facility. Upon our emergence from reorganization proceedings, our $750.0 million notes
were discharged pursuant to the reorganization plan. On November 6, 2009, $33.3 million of our senior secured
credit facility was repaid in cash and $61.8 million was refinanced with the new term loan.

Foreign Currency Gain (Loss), Net. Net foreign currency gain for the year ended December 31, 2010
was $14.7 million, compared to net foreign currency gain of $52.8 million for the combined twelve-month period
ended December 31, 2009. A substantial portion of our net foreign currency gain or loss is non-cash translation
gain or loss associated with intercompany balances at our Korean subsidiary and is affected by changes in the
exchange rate between the Korean won and the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency translation gain from intercompany
balances was included in determining our consolidated net income since the intercompany balances were not
considered long-term investments in nature because management intended to settle these intercompany balances
at their respective maturity dates. The Korean won to U.S. dollar exchange rates were 1,138.9:1 and 1,167.6:1
using the first base rate as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, as quoted by the Korea
Exchange Bank.

Others. Others for the year ended December 31, 2010 was comprised of dividend income from our

investment in equity instruments and loss on valuation of derivatives which were designated as hedging
instruments. The majority of the loss was loss on valuation of derivatives which represents either hedge
ineffectiveness or components of changes in fair value of derivatives excluded from the assessments of hedge
effectiveness.

Income Tax Expenses. Income tax expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $8.4 million,

compared to income tax expenses of $9.2 million for the combined twelve-month period ended December 31,
2009. Income tax expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 were comprised of $0.6 million of current
income tax expenses, net incurred in various jurisdictions in which our overseas subsidiaries are located, $5.4
million of withholding taxes mostly accrued on intercompany interest payments, which would be utilized as
foreign tax credits, but due to the uncertainty of utilization, full valuation allowance was recognized, $2.5 million
of additional recognition of liabilities for uncertain tax positions and a $1.5 million income tax effect from the
change of deferred tax assets less $1.6 million reversal of liabilities for uncertain tax positions due to the lapse of
the applicable statute of limitations.

62

Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Taxes

Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Taxes. During 2008, we closed our Imaging Solutions

business segment. During the combined twelve-month period ended December 31, 2009, we recognized net
income of $7.1 million relating to our discontinued operations, largely due to the sales of patents related to our
closed Imaging Solutions business segment, which resulted in an $8.3 million gain.

Net Income (Loss)

As a result of the foregoing, net income decreased by $765.0 million in the year ended December 31,

2010 compared to the combined twelve-month period ended December 31, 2009. As discussed above, the
decrease in net income was primarily due to $804.6 million decrease in net reorganization gain directly
associated with our reorganization proceedings and primarily reflects the discharge of liabilities of $798.0
million, partially offset by an increase in operating income from continuing operations of $75.0 million, or
458.5%, compared to the combined twelve-month period ended December 31, 2009.

Additional Business Metrics Evaluated by Management

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) less income from discontinued operations, net of taxes,

adjusted to exclude (i) depreciation and amortization associated with continuing operations, (ii) interest expense,
net, (iii) income tax expenses, (iv) restructuring and impairment charges, (v) other restructuring charges,
(vi) reorganization items, net, (vii) the increase in cost of sales resulting from the fresh-start accounting inventory
step-up, (viii) equity-based compensation expense, (ix) foreign currency loss (gain), net, (x) derivative valuation
loss, net, (xi) one-time incentive payments in connection with the MagnaChip Corporation IPO and (xii) loss on
early extinguishment of senior notes. See the footnotes to the table below for further information regarding these
items. We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance because:

• Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the impact of a number of items that may be either one time or recurring items

that we do not consider to be indicative of our core ongoing operating performance;

• we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an enterprise level performance measure commonly reported and

widely used by analysts and investors in our industry;

• we anticipate that our investor and analyst presentations after we are public will include Adjusted

EBITDA; and

• we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with a more consistent measurement of period to

period performance of our core operations, as well as a comparison of our operating performance to that of
other companies in our industry.

We use Adjusted EBITDA in a number of ways, including:

for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget;

to evaluate the effectiveness of our enterprise level business strategies;

in communications with our board of directors concerning our consolidated financial performance; and

in certain of our compensation plans as a performance measure for determining incentive compensation
payments.

•

•

We encourage you to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons we consider them appropriate. In
evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the
adjustments in this presentation. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure defined in accordance with GAAP and

(a) This adjustment is comprised of all items included in the restructuring and impairment charges line item on our
consolidated statements of operations, and eliminates the impact of restructuring and impairment charges
related to (i) for 2011, restructuring charges of $1.6 million related to the closure of our research and
development center in Japan and sales subsidiary in the U.K. and impairment charges related to $2.0 million
from twelve abandoned in-process research and development projects and one dropped existing technology,
$0.4 million from one abandoned system project and $0.1 million from impairment of tangible and intangible
assets, (ii) for 2010, impairment charges of $2.0 million recorded, of which $1.6 million of impairment charges
were recognized for abandoned in-process research and development projects and $0.4 million of impairment
charges were recognized as a result of an annual impairment test of in-process research and development,
accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets as part of the application of fresh-start accounting and
(iii) for 2009, termination benefits and other related costs, for the ten-month period ended October 25, 2009 in
connection with the closure of one of our research and development facilities in Japan. We do not believe these
restructuring and impairment charges are indicative of our core ongoing operating performance because we do
not anticipate similar facility closures and market driven events in our ongoing operations, although we cannot
guarantee that similar events will not occur in the future.

(b) This adjustment relates to certain restructuring charges that are not included in the restructuring and

impairment charges line item on our consolidated statements of operations. These items are included in
selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations and comprised of a
charge of $13.3 million for restructuring-related professional fees and related expenses for 2009. We do not

64

believe these other restructuring charges are indicative of our core ongoing operating performance because
these charges were related, in significant part, to actions we took in response to the impacts on our business
resulting from the global economic recession that persisted through 2008 and 2009. We cannot guarantee
that similar charges will not be incurred in the future.

(c) This adjustment eliminates the impact of largely non-cash reorganization income and expense items directly
associated with our reorganization proceedings from our ongoing operations including, among others,
professional fees, the revaluation of assets, the effects of the Chapter 11 reorganization plan and fresh-start
accounting principles and the write-off of debt issuance costs. Included in reorganization items, net for the
ten-month period ended October 25, 2009 was our predecessor’s gain recognized from the effects of our
reorganization proceedings. The gain results from the difference between our predecessor’s carrying value
of remaining pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise and the amounts to be distributed pursuant to the
reorganization proceedings. The gain from the effects of the reorganization proceedings and the application
of fresh-start accounting principles is comprised of the discharge of liabilities subject to compromise, net of
the issuance of new common units and new warrants and the accrual of amounts to be settled in cash. For
details regarding this adjustment, see Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements of MagnaChip
Semiconductor Corporation included elsewhere in this report. We do not believe these items are indicative
of our core ongoing operating performance because they were incurred as a result of our Chapter 11
reorganization.

(d) This adjustment eliminates the one-time impact on cost of sales associated with the write-up of our

inventory in accordance with the principles of fresh-start accounting upon consummation of the Chapter 11
reorganization.

(e) This adjustment eliminates the impact of non-cash equity-based compensation expenses. Although we

expect to incur non-cash equity-based compensation expenses in the future, we believe that analysts and
investors will find it helpful to review our operating performance without the effects of these non-cash
expenses, as supplemental information.

(f) This adjustment eliminates the impact of non-cash foreign currency translation associated with

intercompany debt obligations and foreign currency denominated receivables and payables, as well as the
cash impact of foreign currency transaction gains or losses on collection of such receivables and payment of
such payables. Although we expect to incur foreign currency translation gains or losses in the future, we
believe that analysts and investors will find it helpful to review our operating performance without the
effects of these primarily non-cash gains or losses, as supplemental information.

(g) This adjustment eliminates the impact of gain or loss recognized in income on derivatives, which represents
hedge ineffectiveness or derivatives value changes excluded from the risk being hedged. We enter into
derivative transactions to mitigate foreign exchange risks. As our derivative transactions are limited to a
certain portion of our expected cash flows denominated in USD, and we do not enter into derivative
transactions for trading or speculative purposes, we do not believe that these charges or gains are indicative
of our core operating performance.

(h) This adjustment eliminates the one-time impact of incentive payments to all employees excluding

management in connection with the MagnaChip Corporation IPO.

(i) This adjustment eliminates the impact of loss on repurchase of $46.3 million of our senior notes for the year

ended December 31, 2011.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a

substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or

contractual commitments;

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service

interest or principal payments, on our debt;

65

K
-
0
1
m
r
o
F

•

although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized
will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements
for such replacements;

• Adjusted EBITDA does not consider the potentially dilutive impact of issuing equity-based compensation to

our management team and employees;

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the costs of holding certain assets and liabilities in foreign

currencies; and

•

other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its
usefulness as a comparative measure.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash

available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily
on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally.

We present Adjusted Net Income as a further supplemental measure of our performance. We prepare
Adjusted Net Income by adjusting net income (loss) to eliminate the impact of a number of non-cash expenses
and other items that may be either one time or recurring that we do not consider to be indicative of our core
ongoing operating performance. We believe that Adjusted Net Income is particularly useful because it reflects
the impact of our asset base and capital structure on our operating performance. We present Adjusted Net Income
for a number of reasons, including:

• we use Adjusted Net Income in communications with our board of directors concerning our consolidated

financial performance;

• we believe that Adjusted Net Income is an enterprise level performance measure commonly reported and

widely used by analysts and investors in our industry; and

• we anticipate that our investor and analyst presentations after we are public will include Adjusted Net

Income.

• Adjusted Net Income is not a measure defined in accordance with GAAP and should not be construed as an
alternative to income from continuing operations, cash flows from operating activities or net income (loss),
as determined in accordance with GAAP. We encourage you to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons we
consider them appropriate. Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted Net Income differently
than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. In addition, in evaluating Adjusted Net
Income, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in this
presentation. We define Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) less income from discontinued
operations, net of taxes, excluding (i) restructuring and impairment charges, (ii) other restructuring charges,
(iii) reorganization items, net, (iv) the increase in cost of sales resulting from the fresh-start accounting
inventory step-up, (v) equity-based compensation expense, (vi) amortization of intangibles associated with
continuing operations, (vii) foreign currency loss (gain), net, (viii) derivative valuation loss, net, (ix) one-
time incentive payments in connection with the MagnaChip Corporation IPO and (x) loss on early
extinguishment of senior notes.

(c) This adjustment eliminates the impact of largely non-cash reorganization income and expense items directly
associated with our reorganization proceedings from our ongoing operations including, among others,

(f) This adjustment eliminates the non-cash impact of amortization expense for intangible assets created as a
result of the purchase accounting treatment of the Original Acquisition and other subsequent acquisitions,
and from the application of fresh-start accounting in connection with the reorganization proceedings. We do
not believe these non-cash amortization expenses for intangibles are indicative of our core ongoing
operating performance because the assets would not have been capitalized on our balance sheet but for the
application of purchase accounting or fresh-start accounting, as applicable.

(g) This adjustment eliminates the impact of non-cash foreign currency translation associated with

intercompany debt obligations and foreign currency denominated receivables and payables, as well as the
cash impact of foreign currency transaction gains or losses on collection of such receivables and payment of

(1) As of October 25, 2009, the fresh-start adoption date, we adopted fresh-start accounting for our consolidated
financial statements. Because of the emergence from reorganization proceedings and adoption of fresh-start
accounting, the historical financial information for periods after October 25, 2009 is not fully comparable to
periods before October 25, 2009.

(2) We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude (i) depreciation and amortization,
(ii) interest expense, net, (iii) income tax expenses (benefits), (iv) restructuring and impairment charges,
(v) the increase in cost of sales resulting from the fresh-start accounting inventory step-up, (vi) equity-based
compensation expense, (vii) foreign currency loss (gain), net, (viii) derivative valuation loss (gain), net,
(ix) one-time incentive payments in connection with the MagnaChip Corporation IPO and (x) loss on early
extinguishment of senior notes. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

(a) This adjustment is comprised of all items included in the restructuring and impairment charges line item on
our consolidated statements of operations, and eliminates the impact of restructuring and impairment
charges related to (i) for 2011, restructuring charges of $1.6 million related to the closure of our research
and development center in Japan and sales subsidiary in the U.K. and impairment charges related to $2.0
million from twelve abandoned in-process research and development projects and one dropped existing
technology, $0.4 million from one abandoned system project and $0.1 million from impairment of tangible
and intangible assets, and (ii) for 2010, impairment charges of an aggregate of $2.0 million recorded, of
which an aggregate of $1.6 million of impairment charges were recognized for abandoned in-process
research and development projects and an aggregate of $0.4 million of impairment charges were recognized
as a result of an annual impairment test of in-process research and development, accounted for as indefinite-
lived intangible assets as part of the application of fresh-start accounting.

70

(b) This adjustment eliminates the one-time impact on cost of sales associated with the write-up of our

inventory in accordance with the principles of fresh-start accounting upon consummation of the Chapter 11
reorganization.

(c) This adjustment eliminates the impact of non-cash equity-based compensation expenses.
(d) This adjustment eliminates the impact of non-cash foreign currency translation associated with

intercompany debt obligations and foreign currency denominated receivables and payables, as well as the
cash impact of foreign currency transaction gains or losses on collection of such receivables and payment of
such payables.

(e) This adjustment eliminates the impact of gain or loss recognized in income on derivatives, which represents
hedge ineffectiveness or derivatives value changes excluded from the risk being hedged. We enter into
derivative transactions to mitigate foreign exchange risks. As our derivative transactions are limited to a
certain portion of our expected cash flows denominated in USD, and we do not enter into derivative
transactions for trading or speculative purposes, we do not believe that these charges or gains are indicative
of our core operating performance.

(f) This adjustment eliminates the one-time impact of incentive payments to all employees excluding

management in connection with the MagnaChip Corporation IPO.

(g) This adjustment eliminates the impact of loss on repurchase of $46.3 million of our senior notes for the year

ended December 31, 2011.

(3) We define Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss), excluding (i) restructuring and impairment charges,

(ii) the increase in cost of sales resulting from the fresh-start accounting inventory step-up, (iii) equity-based
compensation expense, (iv) amortization of intangibles, (v) foreign currency loss (gain), net, (vi) derivative
valuation loss (gain), net, (vii) one-time incentive payments in connection with the MagnaChip Corporation
IPO and (viii) loss on early extinguishment of senior notes. The following table summarizes the adjustments
to net income (loss) that we make in order to calculate Adjusted Net Income for the periods indicated:

(a) This adjustment is comprised of all items included in the restructuring and impairment charges line item on
our consolidated statements of operations, and eliminates the impact of restructuring and impairment
charges related to (i) for 2011, restructuring charges of $1.6 million related to the closure of our research

(b) This adjustment eliminates the one-time impact on cost of sales associated with the write-up of our

inventory in accordance with the principles of fresh-start accounting upon consummation of the Chapter 11
reorganization.

(c) This adjustment eliminates the impact of non-cash equity-based compensation expenses. Although we

expect to incur non-cash equity-based compensation expenses in the future, we believe that analysts and
investors will find it helpful to review our operating performance without the effects of these non-cash
expenses, as supplemental information.

(d) This adjustment eliminates the non-cash impact of amortization expense for intangible assets created as a

result of the acquisition accounting treatment of the Original Acquisition and other subsequent acquisitions,
and from the application of fresh-start accounting in connection with the reorganization proceedings.

(e) This adjustment eliminates the impact of non-cash foreign currency translation associated with

intercompany debt obligations and foreign currency denominated receivables and payables, as well as the
cash impact of foreign currency transaction gains or losses on collection of such receivables and payment of
such payables.

(f) This adjustment eliminates the impact of gain or loss recognized in income on derivatives, which represents

ended December 31, 2011.

Our net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased by 8.5% from the three months ended
March 31, 2010 due to improved product mix and increased market demand as the consumer electronics industry
continued to recover from the economic slowdown. Our net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2010
increased by 7.6% from the three months ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to improved product mix and
increased market demand for Semiconductor Manufacturing Services and Power Solutions products. Our net
sales for the three months ended December 31, 2010 decreased by 10.8% from the three months ended
September 30, 2010, primarily due to decreased market demand for Semiconductor Manufacturing Services and
Display Solutions products as a result of our customers’ efforts to reduce their inventory levels. Our net sales for
the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased by 0.6% from the three months ended December 31, 2010 due
improved product mix and increased market demand for Power Solutions products. Our net sales for the three
months ended June 30, 2011 increased by 8.4% from the three months ended March 31, 2011, primarily due to
increased market demand for Display Solutions and Power Solutions products. Our net sales for the three months
ended September 30, 2011 decreased by 1.6% from the three months ended June 30, 2011, primarily due to
decreased market demand for Semiconductor Manufacturing Services. Our net sales for the three months ended
December 31, 2011 decreased by 9.8% from the three months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to
decreased market demand for Semiconductor Manufacturing Services and Display Solutions products as a result
of our customers’ efforts to reduce their inventory levels.

Gross margin increased to 33.1% in the three months ended June 30, 2010 from 27.5% in the three

months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to increased sales volume and improved

72

utilization of our manufacturing facilities. Gross margin was 33.1% as a percent of revenue in the three months
ended September 30, 2010, and remained the same as the three months ended June 30, 2010. Gross margin
decreased to 32.3% in the three months ended December 31, 2010 from 33.1% in the three months ended
September 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to decreased sales volume resulting from our customers’
efforts to reduce their inventory levels and lower utilization of our manufacturing facilities. Gross margin
decreased to 30.1% in the three months ended March 31, 2011 from 32.3% in the three months ended
December 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in cost of sales to a greater extent than an
increase in net sales. Gross margin increased to 32.5% in the three months ended June 30, 2011 from 30.1% in
the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase was primarily due to increased sales volume in Display
Solutions and Power Solutions. Gross margin decreased to 30.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2011
from 32.5% in the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in cost of
sales compared to a decrease in net sales. Gross margin decreased to 28.5% in the three months ended
December 31, 2011 from 30.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily due
to decreased sales volume resulting from our customers’ efforts to reduce their inventory levels and lower
utilization of our manufacturing facilities.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 decreased

compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily due to decreases in depreciation and amortization
as amortization of certain intangible assets was completed in April 2010. Selling, general and administrative
expenses remained relatively constant over the quarters ended December 31, 2010, September 30, 2010 and
June 30, 2010. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased
compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 primarily due to an increase in salaries resulting from
annual incentive payments and an increase in outside service fees. Selling, general and administrative expenses
remained relatively constant over the quarters ended December 31, 2011, September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011.

Research and development expenses remained relatively constant in absolute dollars over the quarters
ended December 31, 2010, September 30, 2010, June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010. Research and development
expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased compared to the three months ended March 31,
2011 primarily due to an increase in salaries resulting from annual incentive payments and increases in
depreciation and amortization. Research and development expenses as a percentage of net sales remained
relatively constant over the four quarters beginning from January 1, 2011.

Restructuring and impairment charges for the three months ended December 31, 2010, September 30,

2010, June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010 were related to impairment of in-process research and development
projects in each period, accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets as part of the application of fresh-start
accounting. Restructuring and impairment charges for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and June 30,
2011, were primarily related to the closure of our research and development center in Japan and sales subsidiary
in the U.K and impairment of twelve abandoned in-process research and development projects.

As a result of our April 2010 senior notes offering and repayment of our new term loan, our interest

expense, net, for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased compared to the three months ended March 31,
2010. Interest expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased compared to the three months
ended June 30, 2010 as interest for the senior notes was fully recognized during the period. Interest expenses for
the three months ended December 31, 2010 remained relatively constant compare to the three months ended
September 30, 2010. Interest expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased compared to the
three months ended June 30, 2011 and the three months ended March 31, 2011 primarily due to a $35.0 million
repurchase out of $250.0 million aggregate senior notes then outstanding. Interest expenses for the three months
ended December 30, 2011 decreased compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011 primarily due to a
$11.3 million repurchase out of $215.0 million aggregate senior notes then outstanding.

A substantial portion of our net foreign currency gain or loss is non-cash translation gain or loss

recorded for intercompany borrowing at our Korean subsidiary and is affected by changes in the exchange rate

73

r
o
F

between Korean won and the U.S. dollar. During the three months ended June 30, 2010 and the three months
ended September 30, 2011, foreign currency loss was recognized due to the depreciation of the Korean won
against the U.S. dollar. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the three months ended September 30,
2010, the three months ended March 31, 2011, the three months ended June 30, 2011, and the three months
ended December 31, 2011, foreign currency gains have been recognized due to the appreciation of the Korean
won against the U.S. dollar. During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the foreign exchange rate
between Korean won and the U.S. dollar remained relatively constant.

Others for each quarter in the year ended December 31, 2010 were comprised of dividend income from

our investment in equity instruments and loss on valuation of derivatives, which represents either hedge
ineffectiveness or components of changes in fair value of derivatives excluded from the assessments of hedge
effectiveness. Others for fourth quarters beginning from January 1, 2011 were comprised of gain (loss) on
valuation of derivatives, which represents either hedge ineffectiveness or components of changes in fair value of
derivatives excluded from the assessments of hedge effectiveness.

Income tax expenses for 2010 and 2011 were primarily comprised of withholding taxes paid on

intercompany interest payments, current income taxes incurred in various jurisdictions in which we operate,
liabilities for uncertain tax positions and the income tax effect from the change of deferred tax assets. Income tax
benefits in the three months ended March 31, 2010 were primarily derived from the reversal of liabilities for
uncertain tax positions due to the lapse of the applicable statute of limitations. Income tax expenses for the three
months ended December 31, 2010 increased compared to the three months ended September 30 and June 30,
2010 primarily due to increase in liabilities for uncertain tax positions. Income tax expenses for the three months
ended September 30, 2011 decreased compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011 primarily due to
decrease in withholding taxes paid on intercompany interest payments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal capital requirements are to invest in research and development and capital equipment, to

make debt service payments and to fund working capital needs. We calculate working capital as current assets
less current liabilities.

Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalents, our cash flows from operations

and our financing activities, including $8.8 million of net proceeds from the MagnaChip Corporation IPO.
Although we currently anticipate that these sources of liquidity will continue to be sufficient to meet our cash
needs for the next twelve months and foreseeable future, we may from time to time in the future require or
choose to obtain additional financing. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or
debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of our common
stock, and our stockholders may experience dilution. If we need to raise additional funds in the future and are
unable to do so or obtain additional financing on unfavorable terms in the future, it is possible we would have to
limit certain planned activities including sales and marketing and research and development activities. Our ability
to obtain financing will depend on, among other things, our business plans, operating performance, and the
condition of the capital markets at the time we seek financing and could be adversely impacted by our 2009
reorganization proceedings and our non-compliance with bank covenants that preceded the filing. We cannot
assure you that additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. The
current rating of our senior notes is B2 by Moody’s and B+ by Standard and Poors, both of which are below
investment grade. Any lowering of these ratings would adversely impact our ability to raise additional debt
financing and increase the cost of any such financing that may be obtained. If we raise additional funds through
the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges
senior to the rights of our common stock, and our stockholders may experience dilution. If we need to raise
additional funds in the future and are unable to do so or obtain additional financing on unfavorable terms in the
future, it is possible we would have to limit certain planned activities including sales and marketing and research
and development activities.

As of December 31, 2011, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $162.1 million, a $10.1 million

decrease, compared to $172.2 million as of December 31, 2010. The decrease resulted from $57.2 million of cash
outflow used in investing activities and $59.1 million of cash outflow used in financing activities including $50.3
million repurchase of senior notes and $11.8 million stock repurchase, which was offset by $104.5 million of
cash inflow provided by operating activities. As of December 31, 2010, our cash and cash equivalents balance
was $172.2 million, a $107.2 million increase, compared to $64.9 million as of December 31, 2009. The increase
resulted from $106.4 million of cash inflow provided by operating activities and $42.5 million of cash inflow
provided by financing activities, which was offset by $43.7 million cash outflow used in investing activities.

On October 11, 2011, we announced that our board of directors adopted a stock repurchase program

whereby we may, subject to prevailing market conditions and other factors, repurchase up to $35.0 million of our
outstanding common stock. The stock repurchase program began on October 27, 2011 and will end on
October 27, 2012 unless earlier terminated by our board. The stock repurchase program does not require that we
purchase a minimum amount of shares of our common stock and may be commenced, suspended, resumed or
terminated at any time without notice.

In addition, from time to time, depending on market conditions and other factors, we may, as part of
ordinary cash management and treasury functions, repurchase and retire additional outstanding 10.500% senior
notes due 2018, in open market, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash inflows generated by operating activities totaled $104.5 million for the year ended December 31,
2011, compared to $106.4 million of cash provided by operating activities in the year ended December 31, 2010.
The net operating cash inflow for the year ended December 31, 2011 reflects our net income of $21.8 million
adjusted by non-cash charges of $93.6 million, which mainly consisted of depreciation and amortization charges
and loss on foreign currency translation, net, which was partially offset by an increase in net operating assets of
$10.9 million.

Cash inflows generated by operating activities totaled $106.4 million for the year ended December 31,

2010, compared to $41.5 million of cash provided by operating activities in the combined twelve-month period
ended December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in gross profit of $85.0 million
resulting from higher net sales. The net operating cash inflow for the year ended December 31, 2010 reflects our
net income of $74.1 million adjusted by non-cash charges of $73.4 million, which mainly consisted of
depreciation and amortization charges and gain on foreign currency translation, net, which was partially offset by
an increase in net operating assets of $41.1 million.

Our working capital balance as of December 31, 2011 was $235.4 million compared to $273.6 million

as of December 31, 2010. The $38.1 million decrease was primarily attributable to a $10.1 million decrease in
cash and cash equivalents, a $5.6 million decrease in inventories, a $19.6 million increase in accounts payable
and a $6.7 million increase in other current liabilities, which were partially offset by a $6.9 million increase in
accounts receivable.

Our working capital balance as of December 31, 2010 was $273.6 million compared to $128.5 million as
of December 31, 2009. The $145.1 million increase was primarily attributable to a $107.2 million increase in cash
and cash equivalents provided by operating activities and financing activities, a $44.8 million increase in accounts
receivable due to an increase in net sales which was partially offset by a $7.5 million increase in other accounts
payable associated with capital expenditures and a $10.5 million increase in accrued expenses mainly due to an
increase in accrued interest expenses incurred under our $250.0 million principal amount of senior notes.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $57.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2011,

compared to $43.7 million of cash generated by investing activities in the year ended December 31, 2010. The
increase was primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures of $4.7 million.

Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $43.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2010,

compared to $11.5 million of cash generated by investing activities in the combined twelve-month period ended
December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures of $35.0 million. In
2009, cash of $11.4 million was released from restriction in connection with our reorganization plan, which
contributed to cash flows generated by investing activities.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash outflow used in financing activities totaled $59.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011,

compared to $42.5 million of cash inflow provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2010.
In March 2011, we completed the MagnaChip Corporation IPO in which an aggregate amount of $133.0 million
of our equity securities were sold. Net proceeds from new shares of common stock issued by us from the
MagnaChip Corporation IPO were $8.8 million, after deducting $3.6 million of IPO expenses paid for the three
months ended March 31, 2011 and $0.9 million of underwriters’ discounts and commissions. In May 2011, we
paid $38.2 million including repurchase premium of $3.2 million in order to repurchase $35.0 million out of
$250.0 million aggregate senior notes then outstanding. In September 2011, we paid $12.1 million including
repurchase premium of $0.8 million in order to repurchase $11.3 million out of $215.0 million aggregate senior
notes then outstanding. During the fourth quarter, we purchased 1,531,540 shares of treasury stock at a cost of
$11.8 million.

Cash flows provided by financing activities totaled $42.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2010,
compared to $2.0 million in the combined twelve-month period ended December 31, 2009. On April 9, 2010, we
completed the sale of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes. Of the $238.4 million of net
proceeds, which represents $250 million of principal amount net of $3.3 million of original issue discount and
$8.3 million of debt issuance costs, $130.7 million was used to make a distribution to our unitholders and $61.8
million was used to repay all outstanding borrowings under our new term loan. On August 31, 2010, we acquired
$10.7 million of tangible assets as noncash investing and financing activities by entering into a capital lease
agreement.

Capital Expenditures

We routinely make capital expenditures to enhance our existing facilities and reinforce our global

research and development capability.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, capital expenditures were $48.9 million, a $4.7 million, or

10.6%, increase from $44.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2010. The increase was due to supporting
capacity expansion and technology improvements at our fabrication facilities in anticipation of sales growth.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, capital expenditures were $44.2 million, a $35.0 million, or

379.7%, increase from $9.2 million in the combined twelve-month period ended December 31, 2009. The
increase was due to supporting capacity expansion and technology improvements at our fabrication facilities in
anticipation of sales growth.

Seasonality

Our net sales and number of distinct products sold are affected by market variations from quarter to

quarter due to business cycles, and resulting product demand, of our customers. Our Display Solutions business
typically experiences demand increases in the third and fourth calendar quarters due to increased holiday demand
for the consumer products that serve as the end markets for our products. During the first quarter, by contrast,
consumer products manufacturers generally reduce orders in order to reduce excess inventory remaining from the
holiday season. In our Semiconductor Manufacturing Services business, the supply-demand cycle is usually one
quarter ahead of the broader semiconductor market due to lead time from wafer input to shipment to our customers,
so the demand for these products tends to peak in the third quarter and is slower in the fourth and first quarters.

The indenture relating to our 10.500% senior notes due 2018 contains covenants that limit our ability

and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to: (i) declare or pay any dividend or make any payment or
distribution on account of or purchase or redeem our capital stock or equity interests of our restricted
subsidiaries; (ii) make any principal payment on, or redeem or repurchase, prior to any scheduled repayment,
sinking fund payment or maturity, any subordinated indebtedness; (iii) make certain investments; (iv) incur
additional indebtedness and issue certain types of capital stock; (v) create or incur any lien (except for permitted
liens) that secures obligations under any indebtedness or related guarantee; (vi) merge with or into or sell all or
substantially all of our assets to other companies; (vii) enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates;
(viii) guarantee the payment of any indebtedness; (ix) enter into sale-leaseback transactions; (x) enter into
agreements that would restrict the ability of the restricted subsidiaries to make distributions with respect to their
equity, to make loans to us or other restricted subsidiaries or to transfer assets to us or other restricted
subsidiaries; and (xi) designate unrestricted subsidiaries.

We lease equipment for manufacturing and research and development purposes. These leases are

accounted for as capital leases as the ownership of the equipment will be transferred to us upon expiration of the
lease terms or we have bargain purchase options at the end of the lease terms.

We lease land, office space and equipment under various operating lease agreements that expire

through 2034.

We follow ASC guidance on uncertain tax positions. Our unrecognized tax benefits totaled
$3.5 million as of December 31, 2011. These unrecognized tax benefits have been excluded from the above table
because we cannot estimate the period of cash settlement with the respective taxing authorities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates

and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial
statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods and the related
disclosures in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

We believe that our significant accounting policies, which are described in Note 5 to the consolidated
financial statements of MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2011 included
elsewhere in this Report, are critical due to the fact that they involve a high degree of judgment and estimates
about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. We base these estimates and judgments on historical

77

experience, knowledge of current conditions and other assumptions and information that we believe to be
reasonable. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty.
Accordingly, these estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional
information is obtained and as the business environment in which we operate changes.

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable Valuation

Our revenue is primarily derived from the sale of semiconductor products that we design and the

manufacture of semiconductor wafers for third parties. We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists, the product has been delivered and title and risk of loss have transferred, the price is fixed
and determinable and collection of resulting receivables is reasonably assured.

We recognize revenue upon shipment, upon delivery of the product at the customer’s location or upon

customer acceptance depending on terms of the arrangements, when the risks and rewards of ownership have passed
to the customer. Certain sale arrangements include customer acceptance provisions that require written notification
of acceptance within the pre-determined period from the date of delivery of the product. If the pre-determined
period has ended without written notification, customer acceptance is deemed to have occurred pursuant to the
underlying sales arrangements. In such cases, we recognize revenue the earlier of the written notification or the
pre-determined period from date of delivery. Specialty semiconductor manufacturing services are performed
pursuant to manufacturing agreements and purchase orders. Standard products are shipped and sold based upon
purchase orders from customers. Our revenue recognition policy is consistent across our product lines, marketing
venues and all geographic areas. All amounts billed to a customer related to shipping and handling are classified as
sales, while all costs incurred by us for shipping and handling are classified as expenses. We currently manufacture
a substantial portion of our products internally at our wafer fabrication facilities. In the future, we expect to rely, to
some extent, on outside wafer foundries for additional capacity and advanced technologies.

We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our

customers to make payment. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, additional
allowances may be required. The establishment of reserves for sales discounts is based on management
judgments that require significant estimates of a variety of factors, including forecasted demand, returns and
industry pricing assumptions.

Accrual of Warranty Cost

We record warranty liabilities for the estimated costs that may be incurred under limited warranties.
Our warranties generally cover product defects based on compliance with our specifications and are normally
applicable for twelve months from the date of product delivery. These liabilities are accrued when revenues are
recognized. Warranty costs include the costs to replace the defective products. Factors that affect our warranty
liability include historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims on those repairs and the cost per claim to
satisfy our warranty obligations. As these factors are impacted by actual experience and future expectations, we
periodically assess the adequacy of our recorded warranty liabilities and adjust the amounts as necessary.

Inventory Valuation

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, using the average method, which approximates
the first in, first out method. Because of the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry, changes in inventory
levels, obsolescence of technology and product life cycles, we write down inventories to net realizable value.
When there is a difference in the carrying value and the net realizable value the difference is recognized as a loss
on valuation of inventories within cost of sales. We estimate the net realizable value for such finished goods and
work-in-progress based primarily upon the latest invoice prices and current market conditions.

78

We employ a variety of methodologies to determine the amount of inventory reserves necessary. While

a portion of the reserve is determined based upon the age of inventory and lower of cost or market calculations,
an element of the reserve is subject to significant judgments made by us about future demand for our inventory.
For example, reserves are established for excess inventory based on inventory levels in excess of six months of
projected demand, as judged by management, for each specific product. If actual demand for our products is less
than our estimates, additional reserves for existing inventories may need to be recorded in future periods.

In addition, as prescribed in ASC guidance on inventory costs, the cost of inventories is determined

based on the normal capacity of each fabrication facility. If the capacity utilization is lower than a level that
management believes to be normal, the fixed overhead costs per production unit which exceed those which
would be incurred when the fabrication facilities are running under normal capacity are charged to cost of sales
rather than capitalized as inventories.

Long-Lived Assets

We assess long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the

carrying value of the assets or the asset group may not be recoverable. Factors that we consider in deciding when
to perform an impairment review include significant under-performance of a business or product line in relation
to expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends, and significant changes or planned changes in
our use of the assets. Recoverability of assets that will continue to be used in our operations is measured by
comparing the carrying value of the asset group to our estimate of the related total future undiscounted net cash
flows. If an asset group’s carrying value is not recoverable through the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset
group is considered to be impaired. The impairment is measured by the difference between the asset group’s
carrying value and its fair value determined by either a quoted market price, if any, or a value determined by
utilizing a discounted cash flow technique.

Impairments of long-lived assets are determined for groups of assets related to the lowest level of

identifiable independent cash flows. We must make subjective judgments in determining the independent cash
flows that can be related to specific asset groupings. Additionally, an evaluation of impairment of long-lived
assets requires estimates of future operating results that are used in the preparation of the expected future
undiscounted cash flows. Actual future operating results and the remaining economic lives of our long-lived
assets could differ from the estimates used in assessing the recoverability of these assets.

Intangible Assets

The fair value of our in-process research and development, or IPR&D, was recorded in connection with

fresh-start reporting on October 25, 2009 and was determined based on the present value of each research
project’s projected cash flows using an income approach. Future cash flows are predominately based on the net
income forecast of each project, consistent with historical pricing, margins and expense levels of similar
products. Revenues are estimated based on relevant market size and growth factors, expected industry trends and
individual project life cycles. The resulting cash flows are then discounted at a rate approximating our weighted
average cost of capital.

K

m
r
o
F

IPR&D is considered an indefinite-lived intangible asset and is not subject to amortization. IPR&D assets

must be tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
assets might be impaired. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the IPR&D asset with
its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the IPR&D asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss must be
recognized in an amount equal to that excess. After an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying
amount of the IPR&D asset will be its new accounting basis. Subsequent reversal of a previously recognized
impairment loss is prohibited. The initial determination and subsequent evaluation for impairment of the IPR&D
asset requires management to make significant judgments and estimates. Once the IPR&D projects have been
completed, the useful life of the IPR&D asset is determined and amortized accordingly.

79

Technology, customer relationships and intellectual property assets are considered definite-lived assets

and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives, ranging from 4 to 10 years.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC guidance addressing accounting for income

taxes. The guidance requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax
consequences of events that have been recognized in a company’s financial statements or tax returns. Under this
method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement
carrying values and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the
differences are expected to reverse.

Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount

expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in
deferred tax assets and liabilities.

We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability considering historical profitability,
projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and
expiration of tax credits and net operating loss carry-forwards. We established valuation allowances for deferred
tax assets at most of our subsidiaries since, other than with respect to one particular subsidiary, it is not probable
that a majority of the deferred tax assets will be realizable. The valuation allowance at this particular subsidiary
was not established since it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets at this subsidiary will be realizable
based on the current prospects for its future taxable income.

Changes in our evaluation of our deferred income tax assets from period to period could have a

significant effect on our net operating results and financial condition.

In addition, beginning January 1, 2007, we account for uncertainties related to income taxes in

compliance with ASC guidance on uncertain tax positions. Under this guidance, we evaluate our tax positions
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return for recognition and measurement on our consolidated financial
statements. Only those tax positions that meet the “more likely than not” threshold are recognized on the
consolidated financial statements at the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of
ultimately being realized. Assumptions, judgment and the use of estimates are required in determining if the
“more likely than not” standard has been met when developing the provision for income taxes. A change in the
assessment of the “more likely than not” standard could materially impact our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting for Stock/Unit-based Compensation

In 2006, we adopted ASC guidance addressing accounting for stock/unit-based compensation based on a
fair value method. Under this guidance, stock/unit-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on
the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period of the award. We use the
Black-Scholes option pricing model to value stock/unit options. In developing assumptions for fair value calculation
under the guidance, we use estimates based on historical data and market information. A small change in the
assumptions used in the estimate can cause a relatively significant change in the fair value calculation.

The determination of the fair value of our common stock/units on each grant date was a two-step
process. First, management estimated our enterprise value in consultation with such advisers as we deemed
appropriate. Second, this business enterprise value was allocated to all sources of capital invested in us based on
each type of security’s respective rights and claims to our total business enterprise value. This allocation included
a calculation of the fair value of our common stock/units on a non-marketable basis. The business enterprise
value was determined based on an income approach and a market approach using the revenue multiples of
comparable companies, giving appropriate weight to each approach. The income approach was based on the
discounted cash flow method and an estimated weighted average cost of capital.

80

Determination of the fair value of our common stock/units involves complex and subjective judgments
regarding projected financial and operating results, our unique business risks, the liquidity of our stock/units and
our operating history and prospects at the time of grant. If we make different judgments or adopt different
assumptions, material differences could result in the amount of the share-based compensation expenses recorded
because the estimated fair value of the underlying stock/units for the options granted would be different.

Fresh-Start Reporting

Upon emergence from our reorganization proceedings, we adopted fresh-start reporting in accordance

with ASC 852. Our emergence from reorganization proceedings resulted in a new reporting entity with no
retained earnings or accumulated deficit. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements for periods prior to
and including October 25, 2009 are not comparable to consolidated financial statements presented on or after
October 25, 2009.

Fresh-start reporting reflects our value as determined in our confirmed plan of reorganization. Under

fresh-start reporting, our asset values were remeasured and allocated in conformity with ASC guidance on business
combinations. Fresh-start reporting required that all liabilities, other than deferred taxes and severance benefits, be
stated at fair value. Deferred taxes are determined in conformity with ASC guidance on income taxes or ASC 740.

Cash Flow Hedges

We are exposed to non-functional currency denominated cash flow fluctuations in connection with

third party sales. We use foreign currency forward and option contracts to hedge certain of these risks.
Throughout the term of the designated cash flow hedge relationship, but at least quarterly, a retrospective
evaluation and prospective assessment of hedge effectiveness is performed. Designated components of our
derivative instruments’ gains or losses are included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness. In conjunction with
our effectiveness testing, we also evaluate ineffectiveness associated with the hedge relationship. Resulting
ineffectiveness, if any, is recognized immediately in our consolidated statements of operations.

We record the fair value of our foreign currency derivative contracts qualifying for cash flow hedge
accounting treatment in our consolidated balance sheet with the effective portion of the related gain or loss on
those contracts deferred in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.
These deferred gains or losses are recognized in our consolidated statements of operations in the same period in
which the underlying hedged sales transactions are recognized and on the same line item as the underlying
hedged items. However, in the event the relationship is no longer effective, we recognize the change in the fair
value of the hedging derivative instrument from the date the hedging derivative instrument becomes no longer
effective immediately in the consolidated statements of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May, 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update

(“ASU”) 2011-04 “Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and
Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS.” The ASU is the result of joint efforts by the FASB and the
International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) to develop a single, converged fair value framework. While the
ASU is largely consistent with existing fair value measurement principles in U.S. GAAP, it expands existing
disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and makes other amendments. Key additional disclosures
include quantitative disclosures about unobservable inputs in Level 3 measures, qualitative information about
sensitivity of Level 3 measures and valuation process, and classification within the fair value hierarchy for
instruments where fair value is only disclosed in the footnotes but carrying amount is on some other basis. For public
companies, the ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We do not
expect adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive

Income,” which amends current comprehensive income guidance. This ASU eliminates the option to present the

K

F

81

components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders’ equity. Instead, it requires
entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive
income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. Under the two-statement approach, the first statement
would include components of net income, which is consistent with the income statement format used today, and
the second statement would include components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The ASU does not
change the items that must be reported in OCI. ASU 2011-05 will be effective for public companies during the
interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. We do not expect
adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards

Update 2010-06 (ASU 2010-06), which amends the disclosure requirements of ASC 820, “Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures,” (“ASC 820”) as of January 1, 2010. ASU 2010-06 requires new disclosures for
any transfers of fair value into and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and separate presentation of
purchases, sales, issuances and settlements within the reconciliation of Level 3 unobservable inputs. We previously
adopted ASC 820 on January 1, 2008 and January 1, 2009 for financial assets and liabilities and for nonfinancial
assets and liabilities, respectively. ASU 2010-06 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after
December 15, 2009, except for the Level 3 reconciliation which is effective for annual and interim periods
beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 as of January 1, 2010 did not have a material
effect on our financial condition or results of operations. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2010-06 in relation
to the Level 3 reconciliation to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to the market risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes
in market conditions, primarily from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. In the normal
course of our business, we are subject to market risks associated with interest rate movements and currency
movements on our assets and liabilities.

Foreign Currency Exposures

We have exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on net income from our subsidiaries

denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars, as our foreign subsidiaries in Korea, Taiwan, China, Japan and
Hong Kong use local currency as their functional currency. From time to time these subsidiaries have cash and
financial instruments in local currency. The amounts held in Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and China are not
material in regards to foreign currency movements. However, based on the cash and financial instruments
balance at December 31, 2011 for our Korean subsidiary, a 10% devaluation of the Korean won against the
U.S. dollar would have resulted in a decrease of $4.6 million in our U.S. dollar financial instruments and cash
balances. Based on the Japanese yen cash balance at December 31, 2011, a 10% devaluation of the Japanese yen
against the U.S. dollar would have resulted in a decrease of $0.4 million in our U.S. dollar cash balance.

Interest Rate Exposures

As of December 31, 2011, $203.7 million aggregate principal amount of our senior notes remained

outstanding. Our senior notes are subject to changes in fair value due to interest rate changes. If the market
interest rate increases by 10% and all other variables were held constant from their levels at December 31, 2011,
we estimate that the fair value of this fixed rate note would decrease by $9.7 million and we would have
additional interest expense costs over the market rate of $1.0 million (on a 360-day basis). If the market interest
rate decreased by 10% and all other variables were held constant from their levels at December 31, 2011, we
estimate that the fair value of this fixed rate note would increase by $10.4 million and we would have a reduction
in interest expense costs over the market rate of $1.2 million (on a 360-day basis).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of

operations, of changes in stockholders’ equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) at
December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years ended
December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the two-month period ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in
all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria
established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements,
for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of
internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial
Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and
on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit which was an integrated audit in
2011. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal
control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements
included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining
an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists,
and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk.
Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Unitholders of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, of changes in unitholders’ equity
and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations and cash flows of MagnaChip
Semiconductor LLC and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) for the ten-month period ended October 25, 2009
(Predecessor Company), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of
these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company filed a petition on June 12,

2009 with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware for reorganization under the
provisions of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Company’s Creditors’ Committee’s reorganization plan
was substantially consummated on November 9, 2009 and the Company emerged from bankruptcy. In
connection with its emergence from bankruptcy, the Company adopted fresh-start accounting.

1. General

The Company

MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation, successor to MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC (together with its

subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a Korea-based designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal
semiconductor products for high-volume consumer applications. The Company’s business is comprised of three
key segments: Display Solutions, Power Solutions and Semiconductor Manufacturing Services. The Company’s
Display Solutions products include display drivers for use in a wide range of flat panel displays and mobile
multimedia devices. The Company’s Power Solutions products include discrete and integrated circuit solutions
for power management in high-volume consumer applications. The Company’s Semiconductor Manufacturing
Services segment provides specialty analog and mixed-signal foundry services for fabless semiconductor
companies that serve the consumer, computing and wireless end markets.

2. Voluntary Reorganization under Chapter 11

On June 12, 2009, MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC (the “Parent”), MagnaChip Semiconductor B.V.,
MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A. and certain other subsidiaries of the Parent in the U.S. (the “Debtors”), filed a
voluntary petition for relief in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware under Chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The court approved a plan of reorganization proposed by the Creditors’ Committee on
September 25, 2009 (the “Plan of Reorganization”), and the Plan of Reorganization became effective and the
Debtors emerged from Chapter 11 reorganization proceedings (the “Reorganization Proceedings”) on
November 9, 2009 (the “Reorganization Effective Date”). On the Reorganization Effective Date, the Company
implemented fresh-start reporting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852,
“Reorganizations” (“ASC 852”).

All conditions required for the adoption of fresh-start reporting were met upon emergence from the

Reorganization Proceedings on the Reorganization Effective Date. The Company is permitted to select an
accounting convenience date (“the Fresh-Start Adoption Date”) proximate to the emergence date for purposes of
fresh-start reporting, provided that an analysis of the activity between the date of emergence and an accounting
convenience date does not result in a material difference in the fresh-start reporting results. The Company
evaluated transaction activity between October 25, 2009 and the Reorganization Effective Date and concluded
that an accounting convenience date of October 25, 2009 which was the Company’s October accounting period
end was appropriate. As a result, the fair value of the Predecessor Company’s assets became the new basis for the
Successor Company’s consolidated statement of financial position as of the Fresh-Start Adoption Date, and all
operations beginning on or after October 26, 2009 are related to the Successor Company.

As a result of the application of fresh-start reporting in accordance with ASC 852, the financial statements

prior to and including October 25, 2009 represent the operations of the Predecessor Company and are not
comparable with the financial statements for periods on or after October 25, 2009. References to the “Successor
Company” refer to the Company on or after October 25, 2009, after giving effect to the application of fresh-start
reporting. References to the “Predecessor Company” refer to the Company prior to and including October 25,
2009. See “Note 3 Fresh-Start Reporting” for further details.

The Plan of Reorganization provided for the satisfaction of claims against the Debtors through (i) the
issuance of a new term loan in the amount of approximately $61.8 million in complete satisfaction of the first
lien lender claims arising from the senior secured credit facility, (ii) the conversion to Parent equity of all claims
arising from the Second Priority Senior Secured Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes, (iii) an offering of equity
to the holders of the Second Priority Senior Secured Notes and (iv) a cash payment to holders of unsecured

92

MAGNACHIP SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)
(TABULAR DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE/UNIT DATA)

claims. On the Reorganization Effective Date, among other events, (i) the liens and guarantees securing the
Second Priority Senior Secured Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes were released and extinguished, (ii) funds
affiliated with Avenue Capital Management II, L.P. became the majority unitholder of Parent and (iii) the new
term loan was evidenced by the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November 6, 2009, by and
among MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A., MagnaChip Semiconductor Finance Company, Parent, the Subsidiary
Guarantors, the Lenders party thereto, and Wilmington Trust FSB, as administrative agent for the Lenders and
collateral agent for the secured parties.

During the period from the date of its Chapter 11 filing to the Fresh-Start Adoption Date (the “Pre-
Emergence Period”), the Company recorded interest expense on pre-petition obligations only to the extent it
believed the interest would be paid during the Reorganization Proceedings. Had the Company recorded interest
expense based on its pre-petition contractual obligations pursuant to its Second Priority Senior Notes and Senior
Subordinated Notes, interest expense would have been $47,828 thousand, a $16,663 thousand increase for the
ten-month period ended October 25, 2009.

In addition, the Company’s Series B redeemable convertible preferred units were also subject to
compromise and no dividends were accrued during the Pre-Emergence Period. Had the Company recorded
dividends based on pre-petition contractual obligations, dividends accrued on preferred units would have been
$11,819 thousand, a $5,502 thousand increase for the ten-month period ended October 25, 2009.

3. Fresh-Start Reporting

Upon emergence from the Reorganization Proceedings, the Company adopted fresh-start reporting in
accordance with ASC 852. The Company’s emergence from the Reorganization Proceedings resulted in a new
reporting entity with no retained earnings or accumulated deficit. Accordingly, the Company’s consolidated
financial statements for periods prior to and including October 25, 2009 are not comparable to consolidated
financial statements presented on or after October 25, 2009.

Fresh-start reporting reflects the value of the Company as determined in the confirmed Plan of
Reorganization. Under fresh-start reporting, the Company’s asset values were remeasured and allocated in
conformity with ASC 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”). Fresh-start reporting required that all
liabilities, other than deferred taxes and severance benefits, be stated at fair value. Deferred taxes are determined
in conformity with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”).

4. Completion of Initial Public Offering

Prior to the Company’s initial public offering (the “MagnaChip Corporation IPO”), the Company’s board of

directors and the holders of a majority of its outstanding common units elected to convert the Company from a
Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware corporation and to change the Company’s name from
MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC to MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation. The corporate conversion was
completed on March 10, 2011. In connection with the corporate conversion, outstanding common units of
MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC were automatically converted into shares of common stock of the Company,
outstanding options to purchase common units of the Company were automatically converted into options to
purchase shares of common stock of the Company and outstanding warrants to purchase common units of
MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC were automatically converted into warrants to purchase shares of common stock
of the Company, all at a ratio of one share of common stock for eight common units.

On March 16, 2011, the Company also completed the MagnaChip Corporation IPO of 9,500,000 shares of

common stock at an offering price of $14.00 per share and on March 11, 2011 listed on the NYSE. All shares

were sold in the form of depositary shares and each depositary share represented an ownership interest in one
share of common stock. Of the 9,500,000 shares, 950,000 shares were newly issued by the Company and
8,550,000 shares were sold by selling stockholders. The Company received $12,369 thousand of proceeds from
the issuance of the new shares of common stock after deducting underwriters’ discounts and commissions, and
the Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock offered by the selling
stockholders. The Company incurred $10,807 thousand of IPO expenses that were recorded as reduction of
additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company previously stated an intention to use a part of the net proceeds from the MagnaChip
Corporation IPO to make incentive payments to all employees, excluding management. The payment of such
employee incentives was contingent upon the consummation of the MagnaChip Corporation IPO. The Company
paid $12,146 thousand of the incentives in March 2011.

5. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally

accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

In preparing the consolidated financial statements for the Predecessor Company and Successor Company,

the Company applied ASC 852, which requires that the financial statements for periods subsequent to the
Chapter 11 filing distinguish transactions and events that were directly associated with the reorganization from
the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, certain expenses, realized gains and losses and provisions
for losses that were realized or incurred in the Reorganization Proceedings were recorded in reorganization items,
net on the consolidated statements of operations.

Significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of the accompanying

consolidated financial statements are summarized below.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company including its wholly-owned

subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates

and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and
disclosures. The most significant estimates and assumptions relate to the fair valuation of acquired assets and
assumed liabilities, fair valuation of common shares/units, the useful life of property, plant and equipment,
allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, contingent liabilities, inventory valuation, fair valuation of derivative
financial instruments, restructuring accrual and impairment of long-lived assets. Although these estimates are
based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the
future, actual results may be different from the estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company has assessed in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters” (“ASC 830”), the
functional currency of each of its subsidiaries in Luxembourg, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom and has

94

MAGNACHIP SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)
(TABULAR DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE/UNIT DATA)

designated the U.S. dollar to be their respective functional currencies. The Company and its other subsidiaries are
utilizing their local currencies as their functional currencies. The financial statements of the subsidiaries in
functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into the U.S. dollar in accordance with ASC 830.
All the assets and liabilities are translated to the U.S. dollar at the end-of-period exchange rates. Capital accounts
are determined to be of a permanent nature and are therefore translated using historical exchange rates. Revenues
and expenses are translated using average exchange rates for the respective periods. Foreign currency translation
adjustments arising from differences in exchange rates from period to period are included in the foreign currency
translation adjustment account in accumulated comprehensive income (loss) of stockholders’/unitholders’ equity.
Gains and losses due to transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are included as a component
of other income (expense) in the statement of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable Reserves

An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided based on the aggregate estimated uncollectability of the

Company’s accounts receivable. The Company also records an allowance for cash returns, included within
accounts receivable, net, based on the historical experience of the amount of goods that will be returned and
refunded. In addition, the Company also includes in accounts receivable, an allowance for additional products
that may have to be provided, free of charge, to compensate customers for products that do not meet previously
agreed yield criteria, the low yield compensation reserve.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, using the average cost method, which approximates the

first in, first out method (“FIFO”). If net realizable value is less than cost at the balance sheet date, the carrying
amount is reduced to the realizable value, and the difference is recognized as a loss on valuation of inventories
within cost of sales. Inventory reserves are established when conditions indicate that the net realizable value is
less than costs due to physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in price levels, or other causes based on
individual facts and circumstances. Reserves are also established for excess inventory based on inventory levels
in excess of six months of projected demand, as judged by management, for each specific product.

In addition, as prescribed in ASC 330, “Inventory,” the cost of inventories is determined based on the
normal capacity of each fabrication facility. In case the capacity utilization is lower than a certain level that
management believes to be normal, the fixed overhead costs per production unit which exceeds those under
normal capacity are charged to cost of sales rather than capitalized as inventories.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed

using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as set forth below.

Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures that enhance the value or

significantly extend the useful lives of the related assets are capitalized.

Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period of assets are capitalized as part of the related assets.

Prior to July 1, 2011, the Company depreciated machinery and measurement equipment using the straight-

line method over 5 to 10 years. However, based on an evaluation of the appropriateness of depreciable lives
including a review of historical usage and a change in its strategic business plan, the Company determined that
machinery and measurement equipment have a longer life than previously estimated. As a result, the Company
changed the estimate of depreciable lives for machinery and measurement equipment to 10 to 12 years. The
purpose of this change was to more accurately reflect the productive life of these assets. In accordance with ASC
250-10-45, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” the change in life has been accounted for as a change
in accounting estimate on a prospective basis from July 1, 2011. As a result of the change in the estimated life of
machinery and measurement equipment, cost of sales was $4.8 million lower, net income was $5.2 million higher
and net income per diluted share was $0.13 higher for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews property, plant and equipment and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable in accordance with
ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment” (“ASC 360”). Recoverability is measured by comparing its carrying
amount with the future net undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If such assets are considered
to be impaired, the impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the assets and the fair
value of assets using the present value of the future net cash flows generated by the respective long-lived assets.

Restructuring Charges

The Company recognizes restructuring charges in accordance with ASC 420, “Exit or Disposal Cost
Obligations” (“ASC 420”). Certain costs and expenses related to exit or disposal activities are recorded as
restructuring charges when liabilities for those costs and expenses are incurred.

Lease Transactions

The Company accounts for lease transactions as either operating leases or capital leases, depending on the

terms of the underlying lease agreements. Machinery and equipment acquired under capital lease agreements are
recorded at the lower of the present value of future minimum lease payments and estimated fair value of leased
property and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. In addition, the
aggregate lease payments are recorded as capital lease obligations, net of unaccrued interest. Interest is amortized
over the lease period using the effective interest rate method. Leases that do not qualify as capital leases are
classified as operating leases, and the related rental payments are expensed on a straight-line basis over the
shorter of the estimated useful lives of the leased property and the lease term.

Software

The Company capitalizes certain external costs that are incurred to purchase and implement internal-use computer

software. Direct costs relating to the development of software for internal use are capitalized after technological
feasibility has been established, in accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”).
Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the software’s estimated useful life, which is usually five years.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets other than intellectual property include technology and customer relationships which are

amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from one to five years. Intellectual property assets
acquired represent rights under patents, trademarks and property use rights and are amortized over their
respective periods of benefit, ranging up to ten years, on a straight-line basis.

Fair Value Disclosures of Financial Instruments

The Company has adopted and follows ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”)

for measurement and disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments. ASC 820 establishes a framework
for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase
consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, ASC 820 establishes a fair
value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad
levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of fair value
hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are:

Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the

measurement date.

Level 2—Inputs (other than quoted market prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly

observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the
duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.

Level 3—Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing

the asset or liability at the measurement date. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation
technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model. Valuation of instruments includes unobservable
inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or
liabilities.

As defined by ASC 820, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could

be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale, which
was further clarified as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (“an exit
price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The carrying amounts of
the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other
receivables, accounts payable and other accounts payable approximate their fair values because of the short
maturity of these instruments.

Accrued Severance Benefits

The majority of accrued severance benefits is for employees in the Company’s Korean subsidiary. Pursuant

to the Employee Retirement Benefit Security Act of Korea, most employees and executive officers with one or
more years of service are entitled to severance benefits upon the termination of their employment based on their
length of service and rate of pay. As of December 31, 2011, 98% of all employees of the Company were eligible
for severance benefits.

Accrued severance benefits are funded through a group severance insurance plan. The amounts funded
under this insurance plan are classified as a reduction of the accrued severance benefits. Subsequent accruals are
to be funded at the discretion of the Company.

In accordance with the National Pension Act of the Republic of Korea, a certain portion of accrued
severance benefits is deposited with the National Pension Fund and deducted from the accrued severance
benefits. The contributed amount is paid to employees from the National Pension Fund upon their retirement.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered

and title and risk of loss have transferred, the price is fixed and determinable, and collection of the resulting
receivable is reasonably assured. Utilizing these criteria, product revenue is recognized either upon shipment,
upon delivery of the product at the customer’s location or upon customer acceptance, depending on the terms of
the arrangements. Certain sale arrangements include customer acceptance provisions that require written
notification of acceptance within the pre-determined period from the date of delivery of the product. If the
pre-determined period has ended without written notification, customer acceptance is deemed to have occurred
pursuant to the underlying sales arrangements. In such cases, the Company recognizes revenue on the earlier of
the written notification or the pre-determined period from date of delivery. The Company’s revenue recognition
policy is consistent across its product lines, marketing venues, and geographic areas.

In accordance with revenue recognition guidance, any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is

directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer is presented in the
statements of operations on a net basis (excluded from revenues).

The Company’s customers can return defective products, including products that do not meet the yield

criteria. The Company accrues for the estimated costs that may be incurred for the defective products. In
addition, the Company offers discounts to customers who make early payments. The Company estimates the
amount to be paid to customers based on historical experience and expected rate of discount. The estimated
discount amount is recorded as a deduction from net sales.

Other than product warranty obligations, yield provisions and customer acceptance provisions, sales
contracts do not include any other post-shipment obligations that could have an impact on revenue recognition.
In addition, the Company does not currently provide any credits, rebates or price protection or similar privileges
that could have an impact on revenue recognition.

All amounts billed to a customer related to shipping and handling are classified as sales while all costs
incurred by the Company for shipping and handling are classified as selling, general and administrative expenses.
The amounts charged to selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,408 thousand, $1,594 thousand,
$207 thousand and $752 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2011, the year ended December 31, 2010, the
two-month period ended December 31, 2009 and the ten-month period ended October 25, 2009, respectively.

Derivative Financial instruments

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). This Statement

requires the recognition of all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value.

Under the provisions of ASC 815, the Company may designate a derivative instrument as hedging the

exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that are attributable to a particular risk (a “cash flow
hedge”) or hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability (a “fair value hedge”).
Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows the effective portion of a derivative instrument’s gains and

98

MAGNACHIP SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)
(TABULAR DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE/UNIT DATA)

losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the consolidated statements of operations and requires that a
company formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of the transactions that receive hedge
accounting treatment. Both at the inception of a hedge and on an ongoing basis, a hedge must be expected to be
highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in cash flows or fair value attributable to the underlying risk
being hedged. If the Company determines that a derivative instrument is no longer highly effective as a hedge, it
discontinues hedge accounting prospectively and future changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized
in current earnings. The Company assesses hedge effectiveness at the end of each quarter.

In accordance with ASC 815, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are cash flow hedges
are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the period in
which the hedged item affects earnings. Ineffective portions of a derivative instrument’s change in fair value are
immediately recognized in earnings. Derivative instruments that do not qualify, or cease to qualify, as hedges
must be adjusted to fair value and the adjustments are recorded through net income (loss).

The cash flows from derivative instruments receiving hedge accounting treatment are classified in the same

categories as the hedged items in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $148

thousand, $106 thousand, $25 thousand and $70 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2011, the year ended
December 31, 2010, the two-month period ended December 31, 2009 and the ten-month period ended
October 25, 2009, respectively.

Product Warranties

The Company records, in other current liabilities, warranty liabilities for the estimated costs that may be

incurred under its basic limited warranty. This warranty covers defective products, and related liabilities are
accrued when product revenues are recognized. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include
historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and repair costs per claim to satisfy the Company’s warranty
obligation. As these factors are impacted by actual experience and future expectations, the Company periodically
assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts when necessary.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and include wafers, masks, employee expenses,

contractor fees, building costs, utilities and administrative expenses. Acquired IPR&D assets are considered
indefinite-lived intangible assets and are not subject to amortization. An IPR&D asset must be tested for
impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be
impaired. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the IPR&D asset with its carrying
amount. If the carrying amount of the IPR&D asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss must be recognized
in an amount equal to that excess. After an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of the
IPR&D asset will be its new accounting basis. Subsequent reversal of a previously recognized impairment loss is
prohibited. The initial determination and subsequent evaluation for impairment of the IPR&D asset requires
management to make significant judgments and estimates. Once the IPR&D projects have been completed, the
useful life of the IPR&D asset is determined and amortized accordingly.

Licensed Patents and Technologies

The Company has entered into a number of royalty agreements to license patents and technology used in the

design of its products. The Company carries two types of royalties: lump-sum and running basis. Lump-sum
royalties which require initial payments, usually paid in installments, represent a non-refundable commitment,
such that the total present value of these payments is recorded as a liability upon execution of the agreements and
the costs are amortized over the contract period using the straight-line method and charged to research and
development expenses in the statements of operations.

Running royalty is paid based on the revenue of related products sold by the Company. For example, the

Company entered into an agreement with a semiconductor design company, who comprised 78.6%, 77.5%,
88.4% and 94.4% of total running royalty expenses in the year ended December 31, 2011, the year ended
December 31, 2010, the two-month period ended December 31, 2009 and the ten-month period ended
October 25, 2009, respectively.

Stock/Unit-Based Compensation

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC
718, stock/unit-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is
recognized as expense over the requisite service period. As permitted under ASC 718, the Company elected to
recognize compensation expense for all options with graded vesting based on the graded attribution method.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to measure the grant-date-fair-value of options.

The Black-Scholes model requires certain assumptions to determine an option’s fair value, including expected
term, risk free interest, expected volatility and fair value of underlying common share/unit. The expected term of
each option grant was based on employees’ expected exercises and post-vesting employment termination
behavior and the risk free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve for the period corresponding
with the expected term at the time of grant. The expected volatility was estimated using historical volatility of
share prices of similar public entities. No dividends were assumed for this calculation of option value. Before
IPO, the Company estimates the fair value of the underlying common unit because there is no public trading
market for its common units.

Earnings per Share/Unit

In accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” (“ASC 260”), the Company computes basic earnings

from continuing operations per share/unit and basic earnings per share/unit by dividing income from continuing
operations available to common stockholders/unitholders and net income available to common stockholders/
unitholders, respectively, by the weighted average number of common shares/units outstanding during the period
which would include, to the extent their effect is dilutive options to purchase common stock/units and restricted
stock/units. Diluted earnings per share/unit reflect the dilution of potential common stock/units outstanding
during the period. In determining the hypothetical shares/units repurchased, the Company uses the average share/
unit price for the period.

Income Taxes

Prior to its conversion to a corporation, MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation elected to be treated as a
partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and therefore was not subject to income taxes on its income.
Taxes on its income were the responsibility of the individual equity owners of MagnaChip Semiconductor

100

MAGNACHIP SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)
(TABULAR DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE/UNIT DATA)

Corporation. MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation became a taxable entity according to the corporate
conversion. The Company operates a number of subsidiaries that are subject to local income taxes in those markets.

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC
740 requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events
that have been recognized in a company’s financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts
and the tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are
expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the
amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period and the change during the
period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) interpretation No. 48, “Accounting

for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” codified as ASC 740, which
prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a
tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with this
interpretation is a two-step process. In the first step, recognition, the Company determines whether it is more-
likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals
or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step addresses measurement of a
tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not criteria. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of
benefit that has a likelihood of greater than 50 percent of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Differences
between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements will generally
result in (a) an increase in a liability for income taxes payable or a reduction of an income tax refund receivable,
(b) a reduction in a deferred tax asset or an increase in a deferred tax liability or (c) both (a) and (b). Tax
positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in
the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions
that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be de-recognized in the first
subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. Use of a valuation allowance as
described in ASC 740 is not an appropriate substitute for the de-recognition of a tax position. The requirement to
assess the need for a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets based on sufficiency of future taxable income is
unchanged by this interpretation.

Segment Information

The Company has determined, based on the nature of its operations and products offered to customers, that
its reportable segments are Display Solutions, Semiconductor Manufacturing Services and Power Solutions. The
Display Solutions segment’s primary products are flat panel display drivers and the Semiconductor
Manufacturing Services segment provides wafer foundry services to clients. The Power Solutions segment’s
products are designed for applications such as mobile phones, LCD televisions and desktop computers, and allow
electronics manufacturers to achieve specific design goals of high efficiency and low standby power
consumption. Net sales for the “All other” category primarily relate to certain business activities that do not
constitute operating or reportable segments.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) as defined by ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”
(“ASC 280”), allocates resources to and assesses the performance of each segment using information about its
revenue. The Company does not identify or allocate assets by segments, nor does the CODM evaluate operating

segments using discrete asset information. In addition, the Company does not allocate operating expenses,
interest income or expense, other income or expense, or income tax expenses to the segments. Management does
not evaluate segments based on these criteria.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does
not require collateral for customers on accounts receivable. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit
losses, but historically has not experienced significant losses related to individual customers or groups of
customers in any particular industry or geographic area. The Company derives a substantial portion of its
revenues from export sales through its overseas subsidiaries in Asia, North America and Europe.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May, 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 2011-04 “Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and
Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS.” The ASU is the result of joint efforts by the FASB and the
International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) to develop a single, converged fair value framework. While
the ASU is largely consistent with existing fair value measurement principles in U.S. GAAP, it expands existing
disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and makes other amendments. Key additional disclosures
include quantitative disclosures about unobservable inputs in Level 3 measures, qualitative information about
sensitivity of Level 3 measures and valuation process, and classification within the fair value hierarchy for
instruments where fair value is only disclosed in the footnotes but carrying amount is on some other basis. For
public companies, the ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The
Company does not expect adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial
position or cash flow.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive

Income,” which amends current comprehensive income guidance. This ASU eliminates the option to present the
components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders’ equity. Instead, it requires
entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive
income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. Under the two-statement approach, the first statement
would include components of net income, which is consistent with the income statement format used today, and
the second statement would include components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The ASU does not
change the items that must be reported in OCI. ASU 2011-05 will be effective for public companies during the
interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The Company does
not expect adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash
flow.

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update
2010-06 (ASU 2010-06), which amends the disclosure requirements of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures,” (“ASC 820”) as of January 1, 2010. ASU 2010-06 requires new disclosures for any transfers of fair
value into and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and separate presentation of purchases, sales,
issuances and settlements within the reconciliation of Level 3 unobservable inputs. The Company previously
adopted ASC 820 on January 1, 2008 and January 1, 2009 for financial assets and liabilities and for nonfinancial
assets and liabilities, respectively. ASU 2010-06 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after
December 15, 2009, except for the Level 3 reconciliation which is effective for annual and interim periods

102

(TABULAR DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE/UNIT DATA)

beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 except for the level 3 reconciliation as of
January 1, 2010 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. The
adoption of ASU 2010-06 in relation to the Level 3 reconciliation as of January 1, 2011 did not have a material
effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

7. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands
disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires, among other things, the Company’s
valuation techniques used to measure fair value to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of
unobservable inputs.

Aggregate depreciation expenses totaled $41,812 thousand and $36,261 thousand for the year ended

December 31, 2011, and 2010, respectively.

Prior to July 1, 2011, the Company depreciated machinery and measurement equipment using the straight-

line method over 5 to 10 years. However, based on an evaluation of the appropriateness of depreciable lives
including a review of historical usage and an expansion of the Company’s Power Solutions business, the
Company determined that machinery and measurement equipment have a longer life than previously estimated.
As a result, the Company changed the estimate of depreciable lives for machinery and measurement equipment
to 10 to 12 years. The purpose of this change was to more accurately reflect the productive life of these assets. In
accordance with ASC 250-10-45, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” the change in life has been
accounted for as a change in accounting estimate on a prospective basis from July 1, 2011. As a result of the
change in the estimated life of machinery and measurement equipment, cost of sales was $4.8 million lower, net
income was $5.2 million higher and net income per diluted share was $0.13 higher for the year ended
December 31, 2011.

(TABULAR DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE/UNIT DATA)

Aggregate amortization expenses for intangible assets totaled $9,412 thousand and $22,134 for the year

ended December 31, 2011, and 2010, respectively. The estimated aggregate amortization expense of intangible
assets for the next five years is $8,336 thousand in 2012, $6,520 thousand in 2013, $1,284 thousand in 2014, $76
thousand in 2015 and $76 thousand in 2016.

As part of its application of fresh-start reporting, the Company recognized fair value associated with IPR&D

of $9,700 thousand. The Company accounted for IPR&D as an indefinite-lived intangible asset until completion
or abandonment of the associated research and development (“R&D”) projects. The IPR&D charges incurred by
the Company’s Semiconductor Manufacturing Services (“SMS”) segment related to design of a product to the
point that it met specific technical requirements, directly targeted at customers. The Display Solutions segment
incurs IPR&D charges related to the design of possible products. These R&D efforts are intended to incur
incremental sales with the Company’s existing and new customers.

When a project is completed, the carrying amount of the related IPR&D is reclassified into technology and

amortized over the remaining estimated life of the asset beginning in the period in which the project is completed
and sales of related product is recognized. Accordingly, IPR&D of $1,700 thousand in the Display Solutions
segment and $2,950 thousand in the SMS segment were reclassified into technology in 2010 and $1,572
thousand in the SMS segment was reclassified into technology in 2011.

IPR&D assets are reviewed at least annually for impairment or more frequently if changes in circumstances

indicate the asset may be impaired. If a project becomes impaired or abandoned, the carrying amount of the
related intangible asset would be written down to its fair value and an impairment charge would be taken in the
period in which the impairment occurs. The Company performed its annual impairment test as of September 30,
2010 and no impairment test was performed in 2011 since all remaining IPR&D projects were abandoned. The
impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the IPR&D with its carrying amount. The excess
earnings method was applied as a valuation method that establishes the business value based on a stream of
future economic benefits, such as net cash flows, discounted to their present value. This calculation is highly
sensitive to both the estimated future cash flows from each R&D project and the discount rate assumed in these
calculations. These components are discussed below:

•

Estimated future cash flows

The key variables that the Company must estimate to determine future cash flows include assumptions for
sales volume, selling prices, raw material costs, labor and other employee benefit costs, capital additions
and other economic or market-related factors. Significant management judgment is involved in estimating
these variables, and they include inherent uncertainties since they are forecasting future events. For
example, unanticipated changes in competition, customer sourcing requirements and product maturity
would all have a significant impact on these estimates.

•

Discount rate

The Company employs a Weighted Average Cost of Capital (“WACC”) approach to determine the
Company’s discount rate for IPR&D impairment testing. The Company’s WACC calculation includes
factors such as the risk free rate of return, cost of debt and expected equity premiums. The factors in this
calculation are largely external to the Company, and therefore are beyond the Company’s control.

When the carrying amount of any IPR&D project exceeds its estimated fair value on a project by project
basis, an impairment charge must be recognized in an amount equal to that excess. Accordingly, the Company
recognized $2,003 thousand of impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2010, which consisted of

108

MAGNACHIP SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)
(TABULAR DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE/UNIT DATA)

$391 thousand from IPR&D annual impairment test and $1,612 thousand from twelve abandoned IPR&D
projects. The Company recognized $2,016 thousand of impairment charges for the year ended December 31,
2011 from twelve abandoned IPR&D projects.

12. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company’s Korean subsidiary entered into option, forward and zero cost collar contracts to hedge the

risk of changes in the functional-currency-equivalent cash flows attributable to currency rate changes on U.S.
dollar denominated revenues.

The option, forward and zero cost collar contracts qualify as cash flow hedges under ASC 815, “Derivatives

and Hedging,” (“ASC 815”), since at both the inception of the contracts and on an ongoing basis, the hedging
relationship was and is expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting cash flows attributable to the
hedged risk during the term of the contracts. The Company is utilizing the “hypothetical derivative” method to
measure the effectiveness by comparing the changes in value of the actual derivative versus the change in fair
value of the “hypothetical derivative.”

The fair values of the Company’s outstanding option, forward and zero cost collar contracts recorded as

assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are as follows:

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the

gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”)
and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.
Gains and losses on the derivative, representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from
the assessment of effectiveness, are recognized in current earnings.

The estimated net loss as of December 31, 2011 that is expected to be reclassified from accumulated other

comprehensive income (loss) into earnings within the next twelve months is $9,001 thousand.

The Company’s option, forward and zero cost collar contracts are subject to termination upon the

occurrence of the following events:

(i) On the last day of a fiscal quarter, the sum of qualified and unrestricted cash and cash equivalents held by

the Company is less than $30 million.

(ii) The rating of the Company’s debt is B- or lower by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or any successor
rating agency thereof (“S&P”) or B3 or lower by Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. or any successor rating agency
thereof (“Moody’s”) or the Company’s debt ceases to be assigned a rating by either S&P or Moody’s.

In addition, the Company is required to deposit cash collateral with Goldman Sachs International Bank

(“GS”), the counterparty to the option, forward and zero cost collar contracts, for any exposure in excess of $5
million. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has transferred $6,830 thousand of cash collateral to GS for the
purpose of credit support to the counterparty. This cash collateral is changed depending on derivative market
exposures. GS is required to return the cash collateral to the Company when the derivative market exposures
decreases. Under this circumstance, the Company recorded the balance of $6,830 thousand as restricted cash in
the balance sheet as of December 31, 2011.

17. Warrants

In connection with the Company’s reorganization, the Company issued warrants to purchase 1,875 thousand

of the Company’s new common stock. The warrants were issued in partial satisfaction of the claims of the
holders of the Company’s Senior Subordinated Notes and are exercisable at a price of $15.76 per share at any
time following the issue date of the warrants, so long as the exercise of the warrants is exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The value of each warrant to purchase one
common share was $1.35, which was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the
following assumptions: fair value of $6.32 per common share, exercise price of $15.76 per share, risk free rate of
interest of 2.3%, volatility of 50%, dividend rate of 0% and term of 5 years.

18. Common Stock

Common stock par value $0.01 per share, was authorized in the amount of 150,000 thousand shares, of

which 39,439 and 37,908 thousand shares were issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2011, respectively.

On October 7, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a stock repurchase program under
which the Company intends to repurchase up to $35 million of its common stock. The stock repurchase program
will be funded with the Company’s cash on hand and is effective beginning October 27, 2011, through
October 27, 2012. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase a minimum number of
shares, and the program may be commenced, suspended, canceled or resumed at any time without prior notice.
The timing and extent of any repurchases will depend upon prevailing market conditions, the trading price of the
Company’s common stock and other factors, and subject to restrictions under applicable law and regulations.
During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company purchased 1,532 thousand of shares of common stock on the
open market at a cost of $11,793 thousand. The Company accounted for the treasury stock using the cost method,
which treats it as temporary reduction in stockholders’ equity. As a result, the stockholders’ equity has decreased
by $11,793 thousand.

19. Equity Incentive Plans

Successor Company

The Successor Company adopted its 2009 Common Unit Plan effective December 8, 2009, which is
administered by the board of directors. Under the plan, employees, consultants and non-employee directors are
eligible for equity incentives, including grants of options to purchase the Company’s common stock or restricted
stock bonuses or restricted stock purchase rights and deferred stock awards, subject to terms and conditions
determined by the board of directors. The term of options shall not exceed ten years from the date of grant.
Restricted stock purchase rights shall be exercisable within a period established by the board of directors, which
shall in no event exceed thirty days from the effective date of the grant. As of December 31, 2011, an aggregate
maximum of 3,750 thousand shares were authorized and 750 thousand shares were reserved for all future grants.

Stock options are generally granted with exercise prices of no less than the fair market value of the

Company’s common stock on the grant date. The requisite service period, or the period during which a grantee is
required to provide service in exchange for option grants, coincides with the vesting period.

The purchase price for shares issuable under each restricted stock purchase right shall be established by the

board of directors in its discretion. No monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding) shall be
required as a condition of receiving shares pursuant to a restricted stock bonus, the consideration for which shall
be services actually rendered to a participating company or for its benefit. Stock issued pursuant to any restricted
stock award may (but need not) be made subject to vesting conditions based upon the satisfaction of such service
requirements, conditions, restrictions or performance criteria as shall be established by the board of directors and
set forth in the award agreement evidencing such award. During any period in which stock acquired pursuant to a
restricted stock award remain subject to vesting conditions, such stock may not be sold, exchanged, transferred,
pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of other than pursuant to an ownership change event or transfer by will
or the laws of descent and distribution. The grantee shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company
holding stock, including the right to vote such stock and to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with
respect to such stock; provided, however, that if so determined by the board of directors and provided by the
award agreement, such dividends and distributions shall be subject to the same vesting conditions as the stock
subject to the restricted stock award with respect to which such dividends or distributions were paid. If a
grantee’s service terminates for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary (including the grantee’s death or
disability), then (a) the Company (or its assignee) has the option to repurchase for the purchase price paid by the
grantee any stock acquired by the grantee pursuant to a restricted stock purchase right which remain subject to
vesting conditions as of the date of the grantee’s termination of service and (b) the grantee shall forfeit to the

Company any stock acquired by the grantee pursuant to a restricted stock bonus which remain subject to vesting
conditions as of the date of the grantee’s termination of service. The Company shall have the right to assign at
any time any repurchase right it may have, whether or not such right is then exercisable, to one or more persons
as may be selected by the Company.

No monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding, if any) is required as a condition of receiving

a deferred stock award, the consideration for which shall be services actually rendered to a participating company
or for its benefit. Deferred stock awards may (but need not) be made subject to vesting conditions based upon the
satisfaction of such service requirements, conditions, restrictions or performance criteria as shall be established
by the Committee and set forth in the award agreement evidencing such award. Grantees have no voting rights
with respect to stock represented by deferred stock awards until the date of the issuance of such stock (as
evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the
Company). If a grantee’s service terminates for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary (including the
grantee’s death or disability), then the grantee shall forfeit to the Company any deferred stock pursuant to the
award which remain subject to vesting conditions as of the date of the grantee’s termination of service, and, in
the event of the grantee’s termination for cause, such deferred stock award to the extent not yet settled. The
Company shall issue to a grantee on the date on which deferred stock subject to the grantee’s deferred stock
award vest or on such other date determined by the board of directors, in its discretion, and set forth in the award
agreement one share (and/or any other new, substituted or additional securities or other property) for each
deferred stock then becoming vested or otherwise to be settled on such date, subject to the withholding of
applicable taxes, if any.

The following summarizes stock option and restricted stock bonus activities for the year ended

December 31, 2011, the year ended December 31, 2010 and the two-month period ended December 31, 2009
after giving effect to the corporate conversion. At the date of grant, all options had an exercise price above the
fair value of common stock:

Predecessor Company

The Predecessor Company adopted two equity incentive plans effective October 6, 2004 and March 21,

2005, respectively, which were administered by the compensation committee designated by the board of
directors. Employees, consultants and non-employee directors were eligible for the grant of options to purchase
the Company’s common units or restricted common units subject to terms and conditions determined by the
compensation committee. The term of options could in no event exceed ten years from the date of grant.

Unit options were generally granted with exercise prices of no less than the fair market value of the Company’s

common units on the grant date. Generally, options vested and became exercisable in periodic installments, with
25% of the options vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date and 6.25% of options vesting on the last day of
each calendar quarter thereafter. In most cases, the requisite service period, or the period during which a grantee was
required to provide service in exchange for option grants, coincided with the vesting period.

Upon the termination of a unit option grantee’s employment prior to a public offering, the Company had the

right to repurchase all or any of the common units acquired by the grantee upon exercise of any of his or her
options for a cash payment equal to the fair market value of such common units on the date of repurchase. The
Company’s repurchase right would terminate ninety days after the termination date.

MAGNACHIP SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(CONTINUED)
(TABULAR DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE/UNIT DATA)

During the three months ended December 31, 2004, restricted units were issued upon the exercise of certain

options to purchase restricted common units at the exercise price of $1 per unit. Restricted units issued were
subject to restrictions which generally lapsed in installments over a four-year period. Under the terms and
conditions of these restricted units, the restricted units were subject to forfeiture upon the termination of the
restricted unitholder’s employment with the Company. Upon termination, the Company could repurchase all, or
any portion of the restricted common units for either $1 per unit (the exercise price) or the fair market value of
the restricted common units at the time of repurchase. If the termination was for cause, as defined in the service
agreements entered into with each restricted unitholder, the repurchase price per unit would be $1. However, if
the termination was for any other reason, then the Company could repurchase all or any portion of the restricted
units for which the restricted period had not lapsed as of the date of termination for a repurchase price per unit of
$1, and could repurchase all or any portion of the restricted common units for which the restricted period had
lapsed as of the date of termination for a repurchase price per unit equal to fair market value. Termination for
“cause” was defined in the service agreements to mean a termination of the restricted unitholder’s employment
with the Company because of (a) a failure by the restricted unitholder to substantially perform the restricted
unitholder’s customary duties with the Company in the ordinary course (other than in certain specified
circumstances); (b) the restricted unitholder’s gross negligence, intentional misconduct or fraud in the
performance of his or her employment; (c) the restricted unitholder’s indictment for a felony or to a crime
involving fraud or dishonesty; (d) a judicial determination that the restricted unitholder committed fraud or
dishonesty against any person or entity; or (e) the restricted unitholder’s material violation of one or more of the
Company’s policies applicable to the restricted unitholder’s employment as may be in effect from time to time.

The Predecessor Company adopted fresh-start reporting (see Note 3) as of October 25, 2009, at which time

it effectively cancelled all unit options under the Predecessor Company’s equity incentive plans.

The following summarizes unit option and restricted unit activities for the ten-month period ended October 25,

2009. At the date of grant, all options had an exercise price at or above the fair value of common units:

In prior years the Company had entered into an agreement with a software company to purchase licensed
software products (the “Purchase Agreement”), including the licensed CAD software, for the three-year period
from January 31, 2008 to January 30, 2011. The licensed CAD software has been used across all lines of the
Company’s business for purposes of developing products by the Imaging Solutions business and the Display
Solution business and verifying the origin of defects in the manufacturing process of the Semiconductor
Manufacturing Services.

(TABULAR DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE/UNIT DATA)

During the third quarter of 2009, due to the discontinuation of its Imaging Solutions business segment and

the related declining usage of the licensed CAD software, the Company was able to renegotiate the Purchase
Agreement with a software company. Such renegotiation resulted in a reduction of the total fee, which lowered
the Company’s future scheduled payments. Therefore, the Company adjusted the previously recorded
restructuring charges related to this agreement’s non-refundable future scheduled payments in the amount of
$1,120 thousand. The Company had considered such payments as a contract termination cost. The adjustment of
$1,120 thousand represents the amount by which the non-cancellable future payments that were to be incurred by
the Imaging Solutions business segment were reduced as a result of the revised payment terms.

The Company renewed the Purchase Agreement exclusively for the use of other business segments and not

for the use of the Imaging Solutions business segment and the Company has no continuing involvement in the
Imaging Solutions business.

for US tax purpose, and thus the applicable statutory income tax rate was zero. After its conversion to a
corporation, the Parent was a taxable entity for US tax purpose, and the applicable statutory income tax rate was
34.0%. MagnaChip Semiconductor, Ltd. (Korea) is the principal operating entity within the consolidated
Company. The statutory income tax rate of MagnaChip Semiconductor, Ltd. (Korea), including tax surcharges,
applicable to the consolidated Company was approximately 24.2% in 2011, 2010 and 2009.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that realization of the related tax benefit is
more likely than not. Realization of the future tax benefits related to the deferred tax assets is dependent on many
factors, including the Company’s ability to generate taxable income within the period during which the
temporary differences reverse, the outlook for the economic environment in which the Company operates and the
overall future industry outlook. Based on the Company’s historical accounting and tax losses, management
determined that it was more likely than not that the Company would realize benefits for a foreign subsidiary
which has a history of earnings, related to its deferred tax assets in the amount of $6,942 thousand and $7,965
thousand as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Accordingly, the Company recorded a valuation
allowance of $209,295 thousand and $219,045 thousand on its net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2011
and 2010, respectively.

At December 31, 2011, the Company had approximately $445,347 thousand of net operating loss carry-
forwards available to offset future taxable income. The majority of net operating loss is related to the Company’s
Korean subsidiary, which expires in varying amounts starting from 2012 to 2019. The Company also has Korean
and Dutch tax credit carry-forwards of approximately $9,050 thousand and $27,449 thousand, respectively, as of
December 31, 2011. The Korean tax credits expire at various dates starting from 2012 to 2016, and the Dutch tax
credits are carried forward to be used for an indefinite period of time.

Uncertainty in Income Taxes

The Company and the Company’s subsidiaries file income tax returns in Korea, Japan, Taiwan, the U.S. and

in various other jurisdictions. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities of these
jurisdictions for all years since the beginning of its operation as an independent company in October 2004.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded $3,472 thousand and $2,905 thousand of

liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company
incurred $474 thousand of income tax expenses for uncertain tax positions mainly resulting from withholding
taxes related to intercompany balances and recorded $5 thousand of income tax benefits by reversing liabilities
due to the lapse of the applicable statute of limitations.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax
expenses. The Company recognized $78 thousand, $179 thousand, $26 thousand and $206 thousand of interest
and penalties as income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2011, the year ended December 31, 2010,

25. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Agreements with Hynix

In connection with the acquisition of the non-memory semiconductor business from Hynix on October 4,

2004 (the “Original Acquisition”), the Company entered into several agreements with Hynix, including a
non-exclusive cross license that provides the Company with access to certain of Hynix’s intellectual property for
use in the manufacture and sale of non-memory semiconductor products. The Company also agreed to provide
certain utilities and infrastructure support services to Hynix. The obligation to provide certain of these services
lasts indefinitely.

Upon the closing of the Original Acquisition, the Company’s Korean subsidiary and Hynix also entered into

lease agreements under which the Company’s Korean subsidiary leases space from Hynix in several buildings,
primarily warehouses and utility facilities, in Cheongju, Korea. These leases are generally for an initial term of
20 years plus an indefinite number of renewal terms of 10 years each. Each of the leases is cancelable upon
90 days’ notice by the lessee. The Company also leases certain land from Hynix located in Cheongju, Korea. The
term of this lease is indefinite unless otherwise agreed by the parties, and as long as the buildings remain on the
lease site and are owned and used by the Company for permitted uses.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management’s evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as
defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, was performed under the supervision and with
the participation of our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer, or our CEO, and our Chief
Financial Officer, or our CFO. The purpose of disclosure controls and procedures is to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-
benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures

were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over

financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial
reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our chief executive officer and our chief financial
officer, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial

reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on the
Company’s assessment, management has concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective
as of December 31, 2011 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The
Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers, has issued an audit
report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting which appears in Item 8 of this Annual Report
on Form 10-K.

(c) Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal

control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how
well designed or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance the objectives of the control
system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact there are resource constraints, and the
benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all
control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of
fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-
making can be faulty, and breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can
be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management
override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the

141

K
-

1
m
r
o
F

likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals
under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent
limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to errors or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance that their
objectives are achieved.

(d) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter

of fiscal year 2011, which were identified in connection with management’s evaluation required by paragraph
(d) of rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

Sang Park was the Chairman of our board of directors and Chief Executive Officer and Tae Young Hwang,

Chapter 11 reorganization proceedings. R. Douglas Norby was one of our directors until October 2008.
Mr. Norby was also an officer of Novalux, Inc., a private company, which filed a voluntary petition for
reorganization under Chapter 11 in March 2003, approximately one year after Mr. Norby’s departure from
Novalux, Inc.

Board Composition

Our bylaws provide that our board of directors consists of seven members. Mr. Park, our Chief Executive
Officer, is the Chairman of our board of directors. In addition to serving on our board, Messrs. Elkins, Klein, and
Mulhern are employees of our largest equity holder, which consists of funds affiliated with Avenue Capital
Management II, L.P. As of December 31, 2011, Avenue beneficially owned approximately 20,789,539 shares, or
54.0%, of our outstanding common stock, including shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of
outstanding options and warrants that are exercisable within sixty days of December 31, 2011. Accordingly,
Avenue will be able to elect a majority of our board as long as Avenue continues to hold or control a majority of
our outstanding shares. Messrs. Lee, Norby and Tavakoli serve as independent directors elected by a majority
vote of the directors then in office at the time of their election.

A majority of our board is not currently independent as defined under SEC and NYSE rules. We are
considered a “controlled company” for purposes of the NYSE listing requirements because Avenue holds more
than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors. As such, we are exempt from the NYSE corporate
governance requirements that our board of directors meet the standards of independence established by those
corporate governance requirements and exempt from the requirements that we have separate Compensation and
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees made up entirely of directors who meet such independence
standards. We have chosen to utilize the exemption available for controlled companies.

Our board of directors is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms as follows:

•

•

•

Class I directors are Messrs. Lee and Norby, and their terms will expire at the annual general meeting of
stockholders to be held in 2012;

Class II directors are Messrs. Klein and Tavakoli, and their terms will expire at the annual general meeting

meeting of stockholders to be held in 2014.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the
Company’s executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of its
equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors, and
greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC rules to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a)
forms they file.

Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company, the Company believes that

during 2011 all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than 10%
shareholders were in compliance with Section 16(a) other than with respect to a late Form 4 for one stock option
grant transaction by Ilbok Lee in 2011.

Audit Committee

Our audit committee consists of Mr. Norby as Chairman and Messrs. Klein and Tavakoli. Our board of

directors has determined that Mr. Norby is an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of
Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act. Our board has also determined that Messrs. Norby and
Tavakoli are “independent” as that term is defined in both Rule 303A of the NYSE rules and Rule 10A-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act. In making this determination, our board of directors considered the
relationships that Messrs. Norby and Tavakoli have with our company and all other facts and circumstances our
board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including any beneficial ownership of our
equity. In addition, our board has determined that the simultaneous service by Mr. Norby on the audit committees
of three other public companies does not impair his ability to effectively serve on our audit committee. The board
has determined that Mr. Klein is not an independent director. In accordance with applicable rules of the NYSE,
we are relying upon an exception that allows us to phase in our compliance with the independent audit committee
requirement as follows, (i) one independent member at the time of listing; (ii) a majority of independent members
within 90 days of listing; and (iii) all independent members within one year of listing. Prior to the one year
anniversary of our initial NYSE listing, Mr. Klein will resign from the audit committee and at least one new
independent director will be appointed. Our audit committee charter is available on our website at
www.magnachip.com.

Compensation Committee

The compensation committee of the board has overall responsibility for evaluating and approving our

executive officer and director compensation plans, policies and programs, as well as all equity-based
compensation plans and policies. Our compensation committee consists of Messrs. Elkins, Lee and Tavakoli. Our
board has determined that Messrs. Lee and Tavakoli are “independent” under NYSE and SEC rules. In making
this determination, our board of directors considered the relationships that Messrs.Lee and Tavakoli have with
our company and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their
independence, including any beneficial ownership of our equity. The board has determined that Mr. Elkins is not
an independent director. Because we are a “controlled company,” we rely on exemptions from the provisions of
Section 303A of the NYSE that would otherwise require the Company to have a Compensation Committee
composed entirely of independent directors. Our compensation committee charter is available on our website at
www.magnachip.com.

Nominating and Governance Committee

The nominating and governance committee has the responsibility to identify qualified individuals to become

members of the board, to oversee an annual evaluation of the board of directors and its committees, to
periodically review and recommend to the board any proposed changes to our corporate governance guidelines
and to monitor our corporate governance structure. Our nominating and corporate governance committee consists
of Messrs. Lee, Mulhern, and Norby. Our board has determined that Messrs. Lee and Norby are “independent”

147

under NYSE and SEC rules. In making this determination, our board of directors considered the relationships
that Messrs. Lee and Norby have with our company and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors
deemed relevant in determining their independence, including any beneficial ownership of our equity. The board
has determined that Mr. Mulhern is not an independent director. Because we are a “controlled company,” we rely
on exemptions from the provisions of Section 303A of the NYSE that would otherwise require the Company to
have a Nominating and Governance Committee composed entirely of independent directors. Our nominating and
governance committee charter is available on our website at www.magnachip.com.

There has been no material change to the procedures by which our equity holders may recommend

nominees to our board of directors.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and
employees. We will provide a copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics without charge to any person
upon written request made to our Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary at c/o MagnaChip
Semiconductor, Ltd., 891 Daechi-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, 135-738, Korea. Our Code of Business Conduct and
Ethics is also available on our website at www.magnachip.com. We will disclose any amendment to the
provisions of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics on our website.

Assessment of Risk

Our board of directors believes that our compensation programs are designed such that they will not
incentivize unnecessary risk-taking. The base salary component of our compensation program is a fixed amount
and does not depend on performance. Our cash incentive program takes into account multiple factors, thus
diversifying the risk associated with any single performance factor, and we believe it does not incentivize our
executive officers to focus exclusively on short-term outcomes. Our equity awards are limited by the terms of our
equity plans to a fixed maximum specified in the plan, and are subject to vesting to align the long-term interests
of our executive officers with those of our stockholders.

Item 11. Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The compensation committee of our board of directors, or the Committee, has overall responsibility for
administering our compensation program for our “named executive officers.” The Committee’s responsibilities
consist of evaluating, approving and monitoring our executive officer and director compensation plans, policies
and programs, as well as each of our equity-based compensation plans and policies. Prior to 2010, compensation
decisions were made by the entire board of directors and for the discussion that follows, references to the
Committee during such period refer to the entire board. For 2011, our named executive officers who continue to
serve as executive officers were:

•

•

•

Sang Park, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer;

Tae Young Hwang, Chief Operating Officer and President;

Brent Rowe, Executive Vice President, Worldwide Sales;

• Margaret Sakai, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; and

•

John McFarland, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary.

The Committee seeks to establish total compensation for executive officers that is fair, reasonable and

competitive. The Committee evaluates our compensation packages to ensure that:

148

•

•

•

we maintain our ability to attract and retain superior executives in critical positions;

our executives are incentivized and rewarded for aggressive corporate growth, achievement of long-term
corporate objectives and individual performance that meets or exceeds our expectations without
encouraging unnecessary risk-taking; and

compensation provided to critical executives remains competitive relative to the compensation paid to
similarly situated executives of companies in the semiconductor industry.

The Committee believes that the most effective executive compensation packages align executives’ interests

with those of our stockholders by rewarding performance that exceeds specific annual, long-term and strategic
goals that are intended to improve stockholder value. These objectives include the achievement of financial
performance goals and progress on projects that our board of directors anticipates will lead to future growth, as
discussed more fully below.

The information set forth below in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the Committee’s

general philosophy and historical approach.

Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions

For named executive officers other than our chief executive officer, we have historically sought and
considered input from our chief executive officer in making determinations regarding executive compensation.
Our chief executive officer annually reviews the performance of our other named executive officers. Our chief
executive officer subsequently presents conclusions and recommendations regarding such officers, including
proposed salary adjustments and incentive amounts, to the Committee. The Committee then takes this
information into account when it makes final decisions regarding any adjustments or awards.

The review of performance by the Committee and our chief executive officer of other executive officers is

both an objective and subjective assessment of each executive’s contribution to our performance, leadership
qualities, strengths and weaknesses and the individual’s performance relative to goals set by the Committee or
our chief executive officer, as applicable. The Committee and our chief executive officer do not systematically
assign a weight to the factors, and may, in their discretion, consider or disregard any one factor which, in their
sole discretion, is important to or irrelevant for a particular executive.

The Committee’s annual determinations regarding executive compensation are subject to the terms of the
respective service agreements between us and the named executive officers (as set forth in more detail below). In
addition to the annual reviews, the Committee also typically considers compensation changes upon a named
executive officer’s promotion or other change in job responsibility. Neither our chief executive officer nor any of
our other executives participates in deliberations relating to their own compensation.

Role of Compensation Consultants

The Committee has the authority to retain the services of third-party executive compensation specialists in

connection with the establishment of cash and equity compensation and related policies. We did not retain a
compensation consultant in 2009, 2010 or 2011, and we have not retained a compensation consultant for 2012.

Timing of Compensation Decisions

At the end of each fiscal year, our chief executive officer will review the performance of the other executive

officers and present his conclusions and recommendations to the Committee. At that time and throughout the
year, the Committee will also evaluate the performance of our chief executive officer, which is measured in
substantial part against our consolidated financial performance. In January of the following fiscal year, the
Committee will then assess the overall functioning of our compensation plans against our goals, and determine
whether any changes to the allocation of compensation elements, or the structure or level of any particular
compensation element, are warranted.

In connection with this process, our Committee generally establishes the elements of its performance-based

cash bonus plan for the upcoming year. With respect to newly hired employees, our practice is typically to
approve equity grants at the first meeting of the Committee following such employee’s hire date. We do not have
any program, plan or practice to time equity award grants in coordination with the release of material non-public
information. From time to time, additional equity awards may be granted to executive officers during the fiscal
year.

Elements of Compensation

In making decisions regarding the pay of the named executive officers, the Committee looks to set a total

compensation package for each officer that will retain high-quality talent and motivate executives to achieve the
goals set by our board of directors. Our 2011 compensation package was composed of the following elements:

•

•

•

•

•

annual base salary;

short-term cash incentives;

long-term equity incentives;

a benefits package that is generally available to all of our employees; and

expatriate and other executive benefits.

Determination of Amount of Each Element of Compensation

General Background

The Committee seeks to establish a total cash compensation package for our named executive officers that is

competitive with the compensation reflected in compensation data for similarly-situated executives in the peer
group reviewed by the Committee, subject to adjustments based on each executive’s experience and
performance. Historically, based on our review of industry specific survey data and the professional and market
experience of our Committee members, we measured total cash compensation for our named executive officers
against cash compensation paid to executives at similarly situated companies which we determined to be our
select peer group. Base salaries for our named executive officers were benchmarked to median levels for
companies in the select peer group, and were adjusted upward or downward for performance. Short-term cash
incentives were put in place to provide for opportunities that may result in higher than median levels of cash
compensation as compared to our select peer group if, and depending upon the extent to which, our performance
and that of our named executive officers exceeded expectations and the goals established by the Committee for
the year in question.

150

Historically, our select peer group has included other major Korea-based semiconductor companies,
including Fairchild Korea, Dongbu Hitek, ChipPac Korea, Hynix Semiconductor, ASE Korea and Amkor
Technology Korea. In addition, we also reviewed compensation data from Mercer Korea, an independent
compensation consultant, which surveyed the companies listed below, to assess how compensation for our select
peer group related to compensation paid to executives in a broader range of technology companies.

The Committee makes annual determinations regarding cash incentive compensation based on our annual
operating plan, which we adopt in the December preceding each fiscal year. The determination takes into account
our expected performance in the coming fiscal year. The Committee makes all equity compensation decisions for
our officers based on existing compensation arrangements for other executives at our company with the same
level of responsibility and based on a review of our select peer group with a view to maintaining internal
consistency and parity.

Equity awards are not tied to base salary or cash incentive amounts and will constitute lesser or greater
proportions of total compensation depending on the fair value of the awards. The Committee, relying on the
professional and market experience of our Committee members, generally seeks to set equity awards at median
levels of equity compensation at our select peer group companies. The Committee does not apply a formula or
assign relative weight in making its determination. Instead, it makes a subjective determination after considering
all information collectively.

The Committee may approve additional cash incentive payments or equity compensation grants from time

to time during the year in its discretion.

Base Salary

Base salary is the guaranteed element of an employee’s annual cash compensation. Changes in base salary

may be approved by the Committee for an executive if the median levels of base salary compensation for
similarly-situated executives in our select peer group have changed, and may be further adjusted based upon the
employee’s long-term performance, skill set and the value of that skill. The Committee evaluates the
performance of each named executive officer on an annual basis based on the accomplishment of performance
objectives that were established at the beginning of the prior fiscal year as well as its own subjective evaluation
of the officer’s performance. In making its evaluation, the Committee makes a subjective qualitative assessment
of the officer’s contribution to our performance during the preceding year, including leadership, success in
attaining particular goals of a division for which that officer has responsibility, our overall financial performance
and such other criteria as the Committee may deem relevant, including input from our Chief Executive Officer.
The Committee then makes a subjective decision regarding any changes in base salary based on these factors and
the data from our select peer group. The Committee does not systematically assign weights to any of the factors it
considers, and may, in its discretion, ignore any factors or deem any one factor to have greater importance for a
particular executive officer. Base salary adjustments generally take effect in the middle of our fiscal year.

The current base salaries of the Company’s named executive officers compare to the median of the

Company’s select peer group as follows: Mr. Park is slightly above, Mr. Hwang and Mr. McFarland are slightly
below, and Ms. Sakai and Mr. Rowe are generally in line. Our employees, including our executive officers,
voluntarily accepted a 20% reduction in base salary from 2008 levels from January to June 2009, as part of
austerity measures implemented to assist in our recovery. Mr. Park voluntarily accepted a 40% reduction in base
salary from January to March 2009, and a 20% reduction from April to June 2009. In June 2009, our board of
directors approved a one-time payment of 10% of base salary paid from April to June 2009 to all employees who
voluntarily accepted pay reductions earlier in the year, which group included all of our named executive officers.
This amount is reported as salary in the Summary Compensation Table below. We restored salaries to 2008
levels in July 2009. In December 2009, as a reward for the successful completion of our reorganization
proceedings, our board of directors approved a one-time payment of 30% of the monthly base salary to all
employees who voluntarily accepted pay reductions earlier in the year, which group included all of our named
executive officers. The amount paid to named executive officers for 2009 are reported as bonus in the Summary
Compensation Table below. The Committee also granted additional special discretionary incentives to
Mr. Hwang, Mr. Rowe, Ms. Sakai and Mr. McFarland in 2009, as described in more detail below. No additional
special discretionary incentives were granted to our named executive officers in 2010 or 2011.

152

Cash Incentives

Short-term cash incentives comprise a significant portion of the total target compensation package and are
designed to reward executives for their contributions to meeting and exceeding our goals and to recognize and
reward our executives in achieving these goals. Incentives are designed as a percentage of base salary and are
awarded based on individual performance and our achievement of the annual, long-term and strategic
quantitative goals set by our Committee.

Given our financial position at the beginning of 2009, we did not modify the annual targets for our cash
incentive plans for 2009. As a result, our short-term cash incentive plan was effectively suspended for the year.
In December 2009, our board of directors implemented a cash incentive plan effective as of January 1, 2010,
which we call the Profit Sharing Plan. Each of our employees is eligible to participate in the Profit Sharing Plan,
and our board of directors intends for the Profit Sharing Plan to incentivize our named executive officers, officers
and employees to exceed expectations throughout our entire fiscal year. The Committee administers the Profit
Sharing Plan.

Under the Profit Sharing Plan, the Committee will review our business plan in December of each year and

determine an annual consolidated Adjusted EBITDA target, or the Base Target, for the upcoming fiscal year and
set the targeted amount to be awarded to our named executive officers and employees, or the Profit Share, for
meeting the Base Target and for achievement in excess of the Base Target.

The Base Target is calculated as a percentage of our forecasted gross annual revenue for the upcoming fiscal

year. We determine our revenue forecast by looking at several factors, including existing orders from our
customers, quarterly and annual forecasts from our customers, our product roadmap and how it corresponds with
our projected customer needs, and the overall industry forecasts for the semiconductor market. The Committee’s
goal is to set a Base Target that is difficult but not unreasonable to achieve. To determine the percentage of gross
annual revenue for purposes of setting the Base Target, the Committee, in consultation with our board of
directors, first determines a range of Adjusted EBITDA growth and gross margin that is competitive based upon
the select peer group and will ensure that we build stockholder value, then sets a percentage such that the
forecasted Adjusted EBITDA growth and gross margin is within that range. See “Item 7. Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Additional Business Metrics
Evaluated by Management” for a discussion of how we define and why we use Adjusted EBITDA.

Each named executive officer receives as a Profit Share a set percentage of their annual base salary once the

Base Target is achieved. Executives with target annual incentive opportunities set forth in their employment
agreements will be eligible to receive the target percentage set forth in such agreements. In the event we exceed
the Base Target, we may pay to our named executive officers (together with all of our eligible employees) their
pro rata portion of an additional Profit Share of 25% of our annual consolidated Adjusted EBITDA in excess of
the Base Target. For 2011, Mr. Park received a Profit Share of $210,634, Mr. Hwang received a Profit Share of
$101,482, Mr. Rowe received a Profit Share of $93,248, Ms. Sakai received a Profit Share of $89,748 and
Mr. McFarland received a Profit Share of $51,158.

We pay the Profit Share during the normal pay period in the January following the conclusion of each fiscal

year for which the Profit Share is calculated, and the Profit Share is only payable to those executives who have
been employed by us during the entire fiscal year for which the Profit Share is calculated and who are employed
by us on the Profit Share payment date, provided that the Profit Share is payable pro rata to any named executive
officers who begin their employment during the fiscal year for which the Profit Share is calculated.

The Committee retains the sole discretion to (i) authorize the payment of the Profit Share in December of

the relevant fiscal year when the Committee believes the Base Target will be achieved, (ii) pay Profit Shares
when we achieve slightly less than the Base Target, and (iii) make interim Profit Share payments during the
fiscal year. In addition to the Profit Sharing Plan, the Committee retains the right to grant discretionary incentives

153

to our named executive officers as a reward for extraordinary performance. For example, Mr. Hwang, Ms. Sakai
and Mr. McFarland were paid a discretionary incentive in December 2009 in recognition of their role in our
successful reorganization proceedings. These amounts were not based upon any numerical or formulaic factors,
but rather were determined by the Committee based upon a subjective assessment of their respective individual
contributions and are reported in the Summary Compensation Table in the column labeled “Bonus.”

For 2010, the implementation of the Profit Sharing Plan was modified pursuant to the terms of the Profit

Sharing Plan to provide our employees with an opportunity to share in our success earlier in the fiscal year than
under the existing Profit Sharing Plan. In addition to setting the Base Target, two interim targets for our first and
second fiscal quarters were set. We made Profit Share payments in the first normal pay period following the
conclusion of each of our first two fiscal quarters. The total Profit Share payable for meeting the Base Target for
2010 was capped for each named executive officer at his or her respective percentage of annual base salary, such
that the amount of any Profit Share paid for 2010 performance after the end of 2010 was offset by the Profit
Share paid during 2010 for reaching each of the quarterly targets. In addition, for 2010, our named executive
officers were not eligible to earn the additional Profit Share of 25% of our annual consolidated Adjusted
EBITDA in excess of the Base Target even though we exceeded the Base Target. As a result, for 2010, our
named executive officers were only entitled to receive a cash incentive equal to the Profit Share paid to each
named executive officer disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table in the column labeled “Bonus.” In 2010,
under the Profit Sharing Plan, we paid bonuses to our named executive officers in April and July 2010 and in
January 2011.

For 2011, the implementation of the Profit Sharing Plan was modified pursuant to the terms of the Profit
Sharing Plan to set an interim target that was paid during the first normal pay period following the conclusion of
our second fiscal quarter of 2011. In addition, our named executive officers (and all of our other employees) were
not eligible to earn the additional Profit Share of 25% of our annual consolidated Adjusted EBITDA in excess of
the Base Target even if we exceeded the Base Target or the interim target. In 2011, under the Profit Sharing Plan,
we paid bonuses to our named executive officers in July 2011 but not in January 2012.

Equity Compensation

In addition to cash incentives, we offer equity incentives as a way to enhance the link between the creation

of stockholder value and executive incentive compensation and to give our executives appropriate motivation and
rewards for achieving increases in enterprise value. Under our 2009 Common Unit Plan, our board of directors
granted options to acquire MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC common units and restricted unit bonus awards.
Awards under our 2009 Common Unit Plan were converted into options for common stock and restricted
common stock of MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation upon our corporate conversion. Such options vest in
installments over three years following grant, with approximately one-third of the restricted unit awards vested at
grant and the remainder vesting in two subsequent annual installments, as set forth in more detail below.

Under our 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, which replaced the 2009 Common Unit Plan immediately following

our corporate conversion, the Committee may grant participants stock options, stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and units, and other stock-based and cash-based
awards. Stock options granted under the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan generally vest over three years following
grant, with thirty-four percent of the common stock vesting and becoming exercisable on the first anniversary of
grant date and eight or nine percent of the common stock subject to the options vesting on completion of each
three-month period thereafter. In granting equity awards, the Committee may establish any conditions or
restrictions it deems appropriate. Stock options and stock appreciation rights must have exercise prices at least
equal to the fair market value of the stock at the time of their grant pursuant to the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan.
The fair market value of the stock at the time of grant will generally be the closing price of a share of stock as
quoted on the national or regional securities exchange or quotation system constituting the primary market for the
stock on the date any grant is made. Prior to the exercise of a stock option or stock appreciation or settlement of
an award denominated in units, the holder has no rights as a stockholder with respect to the stock subject to the

154

award, including voting rights and the right to receive dividends. Participants receiving restricted stock awards
are stockholders and have both voting rights and the right to receive dividends, except that dividends paid on
unvested shares may remain subject to forfeiture until vested. Award vesting ceases upon termination of
employment, and vested options and stock appreciation rights remain exercisable only for a limited period
following such termination.

The Committee considers granting additional equity compensation in the event of new employment, a

promotion or change in job responsibility or a change in median levels of equity compensation for similarly-
situated executives at companies in our select peer group or in its discretion to reward or incentivize individual
officers. The option award levels vary among participants based on their job grade and position. The Committee
generally seeks to award equity compensation at levels consistent with the median levels for executives at
companies in our select peer group, and will also make subjective determinations regarding adjustments to award
amounts in light of factors such as the available pool, individual performance and role of executives. For
example, the Committee may adjust the size of an award for an individual executive above the option award level
for his or her position if the Committee determines that the executive has provided exceptional performance, or
may increase the option award level for a position above the median level reflected in the select peer group if the
position is considered by the Committee to be more critical to our long-term success. The Committee will
generally maintain substantially equivalent award levels for executives at equivalent job grades. Stock option
awards are not tied to base salary or cash incentive amounts.

As a result of our reorganization proceedings, all previously outstanding common and preferred units and

options held by our named executive officers were cancelled. In December 2009, we granted new options to our
executives with the option award amounts generally determined based upon the median levels of our select peer
group. Thirty-four percent of the common units subject to the options vested and became exercisable on the first
anniversary of grant date, with eight or nine percent of the common units subject to the options vesting on
completion of each three-month period thereafter. In December 2009, in recognition of services provided in
guiding us through our reorganization proceedings, our board of directors also granted each of our current named
executive officers a restricted unit bonus. The amount of the restricted unit bonuses were not based upon any
numerical or formulaic factors, nor based upon any comparative peer group, data or the number of options
granted, but rather were determined based upon our board of directors’ subjective assessment of individual
contributions to the successful completion of the reorganization proceedings. We granted restricted unit bonuses
in order to provide our executives with an equity incentive with a built-in gain equal to the value of the units as
of the date of grant while still incentivizing them to contribute toward increasing our enterprise value. See “Item
11. Executive Compensation-Grant of Plan-Based Awards” below for information regarding the number and
value of units granted to each named executive officer. Thirty-four percent of each restricted unit bonus vested
upon grant, with the remaining portion vesting in equal installments on the first and second anniversary of the
grant date. No equity incentives were granted to our named executive officers in 2010 or 2011.

Upon the recommendation of our board of directors or chief executive officer, or otherwise, the Committee

may in the future consider granting additional performance-based equity incentives.

Perquisites and Other Benefits

We provide the named executive officers with perquisites and other benefits, including expatriate benefits,

that the Committee believes are reasonable and consistent with our overall compensation program to better
enable us to attract and retain superior employees for key positions. Generally, perquisite are determined based
upon what the Committee considers to be the most customary perquisites offered by our select peer group and are
not based upon a median cost for specific perquisites or for the perquisites in aggregate. The Committee
determines the level and types of expatriate benefits for the executive officers based on local market surveys
taken by our human resources group. These surveys are not limited to our select peer group, but include a broad
range of non-Korea based companies with significant operations in Korea. Attributed costs of the personal
benefits for the named executive officers are as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table below.

Mr. Park, Ms. Sakai and Mr. McFarland were expatriates during all of 2011 and received expatriate benefits

commensurate with market practice in Korea. These benefits, which were determined on an individual basis,
included housing allowances, relocation allowances, insurance premiums, reimbursement for the use of a car,
home leave flights, living expenses, tax equalization payments and tax advisory services, each as we deemed
appropriate.

In addition, pursuant to the Employee Retirement Benefit Security Act, certain executive officers resident in

Korea with one or more years of service are entitled to severance benefits upon the termination of their
employment for any reason. For purposes of this section, we call this benefit “statutory severance.” The base
statutory severance is approximately one month of base salary per year of service. Mr. Hwang, Ms. Sakai and
Mr. McFarland accrue statutory severance.

MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC 2009 Common Unit Plan

Following our emergence from our reorganization proceedings, in December 2009, our board of directors
adopted, and our equityholders approved, the MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC 2009 Common Unit Plan, which
we refer to as the 2009 Plan. The 2009 Plan provided for the grant of nonstatutory options, restricted unit bonus
and purchase right awards, and deferred unit awards to employees and consultants of our company and our
subsidiaries and to members of our board of directors. However, only options and restricted unit bonus awards
were granted under the 2009 Plan. Subject to adjustment in the event of certain changes in capital structure, the
maximum aggregate number of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC common units available for grant under the
2009 Plan was 30,000,000. Units subject to awards that expired, were forfeited or otherwise terminated would
have been available again for grant under the 2009 Plan.

In connection with our corporate conversion, MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation assumed the rights and

obligations of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC under the 2009 Plan and converted MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC
common unit options and restricted common units outstanding under the 2009 Plan into options to acquire a number
of shares of our common stock and shares of restricted common stock at a ratio of eight-for-one on substantially
equivalent terms and conditions. Based upon MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC’s common units outstanding as of
December 31, 2010, and after giving effect to the corporate conversion, there would have been outstanding under
the 2009 Plan options to purchase 1,957,760 shares of common stock, at a weighted average exercise price of $6.33
per share. The 2009 Plan terminated immediately following our corporate conversion, and no additional options or
other equity awards may be granted under the 2009 Plan. However, options granted under the 2009 Plan prior to its
termination will remain outstanding until they are either exercised or expire.

The 2009 Plan is administered by the Committee. Subject to the provisions of the 2009 Plan, the Committee

determined in its discretion the persons to whom and the times at which awards were granted, the sizes of such
awards, and all of their terms and conditions. All awards were evidenced by a written agreement between us and
the holder of the award. The Committee has the authority to construe and interpret the terms of the 2009 Plan and
awards granted under it.

In the event of a change in control of our company, the vesting of all outstanding awards held by

participants whose employment has not previously terminated will accelerate in full. In addition, the Committee

159

has the authority to require that outstanding awards be assumed or replaced with substantially equivalent awards
by a successor corporation or to cancel the outstanding awards in exchange for a payment in cash or other
property equal to the fair market value of restricted units or the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the units
subject to an option over the exercise price per unit of such option.

2011 Equity Incentive Plan

Our 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2011 Plan, was approved by our board of directors and our
stockholders in March 2010. We amended and restated the 2011 Plan in February 2011, and our stockholders
approved the amendment in March 2011 to reflect that it became effective in 2011 upon our corporate
conversion. 890,300 shares of our common stock, or the total number of shares of common stock (as adjusted by
the conversion ratio in the corporate conversion) remaining available for grant upon its termination immediately
following the corporate conversion, were authorized and reserved.

As of December 31, 2011, there were outstanding under the 2011 Plan options to purchase 2,008,960 shares

of common stock, at a weighted average exercise price of $6.79 per share. As of December 31, 2011, 752,564
shares of our common stock remained available for issuance under the 2011 Plan. This reserve automatically
increased on January 1, 2012 and will automatically increase each subsequent anniversary through 2021, by an
amount equal to the smaller of 2% of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the
immediately preceding December 31 or an amount determined by our board of directors. The number of shares
authorized for issuance under the 2011 Plan will also be increased from time to time by up to that number of
shares of common stock remaining subject to options and restricted stock awards outstanding under the 2009
Plan at the time of its termination immediately following the corporate conversion that expire or terminate or are
forfeited for any reason after the effective date of the 2011 Plan, subject to a cap of 1,412,352 shares.
Appropriate adjustments will be made in the number of authorized shares and other numerical limits in the 2011
Plan and in outstanding awards to prevent dilution or enlargement of participants’ rights in the event of a stock
split or other change in our capital structure. Shares subject to awards granted under our 2011 Plan which expire,
are repurchased, or are cancelled or forfeited will again become available for issuance under the 2011 Plan. The
shares available will not be reduced by awards settled in cash. Shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding
obligations will not again become available for grant. The gross number of shares issued upon the exercise of
stock appreciation rights or options exercised by means of a net exercise or by tender of previously owned shares
will be deducted from the shares available under the 2011 Plan.

Awards may be granted under the 2011 Plan to our employees, including officers, directors, or consultants
or those of any present or future parent or subsidiary corporation or other affiliated entity. While we may grant
incentive stock options only to employees, we may grant nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock purchase rights or bonuses, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units and
cash-based awards or other stock-based awards to any eligible participant.

The 2011 Plan is administered by the Committee. Subject to the provisions of the 2011 Plan, the Committee

determines in its discretion the persons to whom and the times at which awards are granted, the sizes of such
awards, and all of their terms and conditions. All awards are evidenced by a written agreement between us and
the holder of the award. The Committee has the authority to construe and interpret the terms of the 2011 Plan and
awards granted under it.

In the event of a change in control as described in the 2011 Plan, the acquiring or successor entity may
assume or continue all or any awards outstanding under the 2011 Plan or substitute substantially equivalent
awards. Any awards which are not assumed or continued in connection with a change in control or are not
exercised or settled prior to the change in control will terminate effective as of the time of the change in control.
The Committee may provide for the acceleration of vesting of any or all outstanding awards upon such terms and
to such extent as it determines, except that the vesting of all awards held by members of our board of directors
who are not employees will automatically be accelerated in full. The 2011 Plan also authorizes the Committee, in

160

its discretion and without the consent of any participant, to cancel each or any outstanding award denominated in
shares upon a change in control in exchange for a payment to the participant with respect to each share subject to
the cancelled award of an amount equal to the excess of the consideration to be paid per share of common stock
in the change in control transaction over the exercise price per share, if any, under the award.

2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Our 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the Purchase Plan, was approved by our board of directors in
March 2010. Our board of directors amended and restated the Purchase Plan in February 2011 to reflect that the
Purchase Plan would become effective in 2011 upon the commencement of the MagnaChip Corporation IPO.
The Purchase Plan was approved by our stockholders in March 2011 and became effective upon the
commencement of the MagnaChip Corporation IPO. 789,890 shares were initially authorized and reserved for
sale under the Purchase Plan.

As of December 31, 2011, 789,304 shares of our common stock remained reserved for sale under the
Purchase Plan. In addition, the Purchase Plan provides for an automatic annual increase in the number of shares
available for issuance under the plan on January 1 of each year beginning in 2012 and continuing through and
including January 1, 2021 equal to the lesser of (i) 1% of our then issued and outstanding shares of common
stock on the immediately preceding December 31, (ii) 789,980 shares, or (iii) a number of shares as our board
may determine. Appropriate adjustments will be made in the number of authorized shares and in outstanding
purchase rights to prevent dilution or enlargement of participants’ rights in the event of a stock split or other
change in our capital structure. Shares subject to purchase rights which expire or are canceled will again become
available for issuance under the Purchase Plan.

Our employees and employees of any parent or subsidiary corporation designated by the Committee are
eligible to participate in the Purchase Plan if they are customarily employed by us for more than 20 hours per
week and more than five months in any calendar year. However, an employee may not be granted a right to
purchase stock under the Purchase Plan if: (i) the employee immediately after such grant would own stock
possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of our capital stock or of any
parent or subsidiary corporation, or (ii) the employee’s rights to purchase stock under all of our employee stock
purchase plans would accrue at a rate that exceeds $25,000 in value for each calendar year of participation in
such plans.

The Purchase Plan is implemented through a series of sequential offering periods, generally three months in
duration beginning on the first trading days of February, May, August, and November each year. The Committee
is authorized to establish additional or alternative concurrent, sequential or overlapping offering periods and
offering periods having a different duration or different starting or ending dates, provided that no offering period
may have a duration exceeding 27 months.

Amounts accumulated for each participant, generally through payroll deductions, are credited toward the
purchase of shares of our common stock at the end of each offering period at a price generally equal to 95% of
the fair market value of our common stock on the purchase date. Prior to commencement of an offering period,
the Committee is authorized to change the purchase price discount for that offering period, but the purchase price
may not be less than 85% of the lower of the fair market value of our common stock at the beginning of the
offering period or on the purchase date.

No participant may purchase under the Purchase Plan in any calendar year shares having a value of more
than $25,000 measured by the fair market value per share of our common stock on the first day of the applicable
offering period. Prior to the beginning of any offering period, the Committee may alter the maximum number of
shares that may be purchased by any participant during the offering period or specify a maximum aggregate
number of shares that may be purchased by all participants in the offering period. If insufficient shares remain
available under the plan to permit all participants to purchase the number of shares to which they would

161

otherwise be entitled, the Committee will make a pro rata allocation of the available shares. Any amounts
withheld from participants’ compensation in excess of the amounts used to purchase shares will be refunded,
without interest.

In the event of a change in control, an acquiring or successor corporation may assume our rights and
obligations under the Purchase Plan. If the acquiring or successor corporation does not assume such rights and
obligations, then the purchase date of the offering periods then in progress will be accelerated to a date prior to
the change in control as specified by the Committee, but the number of shares subject to outstanding purchase
rights shall not be adjusted.

Agreements with Executives and Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

We are obligated to make certain payments to our named executive officers upon termination or a change in

control as further described below.

Sang Park. We are party to an Amended and Restated Services Agreement, dated as of May 8, 2008, with

Mr. Park pursuant to which he serves as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Under the agreement,
Mr. Park was to receive an initial base salary of $450,000 and a one-time performance bonus payment of

customary employee benefits and certain expatriate, repatriation and international service benefits, including

restated service agreement also contains customary non-competition and non-solicitation covenants lasting two
and three years, respectively, from the date of termination of employment and confidentiality covenants of
unlimited duration.

post-termination equity award exercise period, and (vi) continued participation for Mr. Park and his eligible
dependents in our benefit plans for two years, including certain international service benefits.

The severance described above payable to Mr. Park upon his termination without Cause or in connection
with a change in control shall be reduced to the extent that we pay any statutory severance payments to Mr. Park
pursuant to the Korean Commercial Code or any other statute. As used in the agreement, the term “Cause” means
the termination of Mr. Park’s employment because of (i) a failure by Mr. Park to substantially perform his
customary duties (other than such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness);

the material policies applicable to his employment. Resignation for “good reason” means a resignation upon any
of the following events that remains uncured for 30 days after Mr. Park delivers a demand to us: (i) a salary
reduction other than a reduction of less than 10% applied to our other officers, (ii) material reduction in benefits,
(iii) failure to provide housing, (iv) nature or status of Mr. Park’s authorities, duties or responsibilities are
materially and adversely altered, (v) removal from our board of directors without cause, or (vi) Mr. Park is not
reappointed as Chief Executive Officer following our initial public offering.

In the event we terminate Mr. Park’s employment due to Disability, Mr. Park shall be entitled to (i) payment

expense reimbursements, (iii) the prorated amount of any cash incentive to which Mr. Park would have been
entitled, and (iv) other benefits due to Mr. Park through his termination date. As used in the agreement, the term
“Disability” means that the we determine that due to physical or mental illness or incapacity, whether total or
partial, Mr. Park is substantially unable to perform his duties for a period of 180 consecutive days or shorter
periods aggregating 180 days during any period of 365 consecutive days.

In the event of Mr. Park’s death while employed by us, Mr. Park’s estate or named beneficiary shall be

payment equal to six months’ salary.

John McFarland. We are party to a Service Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2006, with Mr. McFarland

pursuant to which he serves as our Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary. Under the
agreement, Mr. McFarland was eligible to receive an initial base salary of 175 million Korean won per year, with
a target annual incentive bonus opportunity of 50% of his base salary. Mr. McFarland is entitled to customary
employee benefits and certain expatriate, repatriation and international service benefits. Mr. McFarland received
an initial grant of options to purchase our common units, but the grant was subsequently terminated in connection
with our reorganization proceedings. The agreement also contains customary non-competition and
non-solicitation covenants lasting one and two years, respectively, from the date of termination of employment
and confidentiality covenants of unlimited duration.

Pursuant to the agreement, if Mr. McFarland’s employment is terminated for any reason other than
Disability, death or Cause, he shall be entitled to (i) payment of all salary and benefits accrued up to the date of
termination, (ii) a severance payment, consisting of the continuation of his then current salary for a period of six
months, (iii) six months of paid benefits for Mr. McFarland and his eligible dependents and (iv) the prorated
amount of any cash incentive to which Mr. McFarland would have been entitled. The severance payable to
Mr. McFarland under his agreement will be reduced to the extent we make any statutory severance payments to
Mr. McFarland pursuant to the Korean Commercial Code or any other statute.

In the event we terminate Mr. McFarland’s employment due to Disability, Mr. McFarland shall be entitled

to (i) payment of his then current salary up to and including the date of termination, (ii) the dollar value of all
accrued and unused vacation benefits based upon Mr. McFarland’s most recent level of salary, (iii) any cash
incentive amount actually earned but not previously paid to Mr. McFarland, (iv) payment of any unpaid expense
reimbursements, and (v) the prorated amount of any cash incentive to which Mr. McFarland would have been
entitled. As used in the agreement, the term “Disability” means that we reasonably determine that due to physical
or mental illness or incapacity, whether total or partial, Mr. McFarland is substantially unable to perform his
duties for a period of 180 consecutive days or shorter periods aggregating 180 days during any period of 365
consecutive days.

In the event of Mr. McFarland’s death while employed by us, Mr. McFarland’s estate or named beneficiary

shall be entitled to (i) payment of Mr. McFarland’s then current salary up to and including the date of
termination, (ii) the dollar value of all accrued and unused vacation benefits based upon Mr. McFarland’s then
current salary, (iii) any cash incentive amount actually earned but not previously paid to Mr. McFarland,
(iv) payment of any unpaid expense reimbursements, and (v) the prorated amount of any cash incentive to which
Mr. McFarland would have been entitled.

If Mr. McFarland’s employment is terminated for Cause, he will be entitled to receive payment of all salary

and benefits and unreimbursed expenses accrued up to the date of termination and will not be entitled to any
other compensation. As used in the agreement, the term “Cause” has substantially the same definition as that in
Mr. Park’s agreement.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control.

Termination. Our named executive officers are eligible to receive certain payments and benefits in
connection with certain service termination events pursuant to the terms of our employment agreements with
them, as further described under the section entitled “Agreements with Executives and Potential Payments Upon
Termination or Change in Control.” The terms “cause” and “resignation for good reason” used below have the
meanings given to them in the applicable agreements with us.

Change in Control. Mr. Park is entitled to receive certain payments and benefits in connection with a
change in control of our company pursuant to our employment agreement with him, as further described under
the section entitled “Agreements with Executives and Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in
Control.” In addition, in the event of a change in control of our company, the vesting of all outstanding awards

164

issued under the 2009 Plan held by participants whose employment has not previously terminated will accelerate
in full. In addition, the Committee has the authority to require that outstanding awards be assumed or replaced
with substantially equivalent awards by the successor corporation or to cancel the outstanding awards in
exchange for a payment in cash or other property equal to the fair market value of restricted units or the excess, if
any, of the fair market value of the units subject to an option over the exercise price per unit of such option. For
purposes of the foregoing, a “change in control” is generally defined as the acquisition by a person or entity of
more than 51% of the combined voting power of our then outstanding voting securities or a sale or transfer of all
or substantially all of our consolidated assets to a person or entity that is not our affiliate.

The following table presents our estimate of the dollar value of the payments and benefits payable to our
named executive officers upon the occurrence of the following events, assuming that each such event occurred on
December 31, 2011. The disclosure in the following table does not include:

any accrued benefits that were earned and payable as of December 31, 2011, including any short-term cash
incentive amounts earned by, or any discretionary bonus amounts payable to, the executive officer for 2011
performance; or

payments and benefits to the extent they are provided generally to all salaried employees and do not
discriminate in scope, terms or operation in favor of the named executive officers.

employment agreements with them or, if greater, (iii) cash severance payments payable pursuant to the
Employee Retirement Benefit Security Act of Korea. Other than Mr. Rowe, who is entitled to a lump sum
cash severance payment, cash severance payments are paid monthly in accordance with our regular payroll

his fifteen years of service, or $447,654 in aggregate.

Pension Benefits for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2011

Pursuant to the Employee Retirement Benefit Security Act, certain executive officers resident in Korea with
one or more years of service are entitled to severance benefits upon the termination of their employment for any
reason. The base statutory severance accrues at the rate of approximately one month of base salary per year of
service and is calculated on a monthly basis based upon the officer’s salary for the prior three-month period.
Accordingly, if the named executive officers in the following table had retired on the last day of our fiscal year
ended December 31, 2011, they would have been entitled to the statutory severance payments described below.
Assuming no change in the applicable law, each of these executives will continue to accrue additional statutory
severance benefits at the rate described above until his or her service with us terminates.

Includes 789,304 shares of common stock that remain available as of December 31, 2011, for future
issuance under the Purchase Plan.

In December 2009, our board of directors adopted, and our equityholders approved, the MagnaChip
Semiconductor LLC 2009 Common Unit Plan, which we refer to as the 2009 Plan. The 2009 Plan provided for
the grant of nonstatutory options, restricted unit bonus and purchase right awards, and deferred unit awards to
employees and consultants of our company and our subsidiaries and to members of our board of directors.
However, only options and restricted unit bonus awards were granted under the 2009 Plan. The 2009 Plan
terminated immediately following our corporate conversion, and no additional options or other equity awards
may be granted under the 2009 Plan. However, options granted under the 2009 Plan prior to its termination will
remain outstanding until they are either exercised or expire.

The 2011 Plan was approved by our board of directors and our stockholders in March 2010. We amended
and restated the 2011 Plan in February 2011, and our stockholders approved the amendment in March 2011 to
reflect that it became effective in 2011 upon our corporate conversion. 890,300 shares of our common stock, or
the total number of shares of common stock (as adjusted by the conversion ratio in the corporate conversion)
remaining available for grant upon its termination immediately following the corporate conversion, were
authorized and reserved.

As of December 31, 2011, there were outstanding under the 2011 Plan options to purchase 2,008,960 shares

of common stock, at a weighted average exercise price of $6.79 per share. As of December 31, 2011, 752,564
shares of our common stock remained available for issuance under the 2011 Plan. This reserve automatically
increased on January 1, 2012 and will automatically increase each subsequent anniversary through 2021, by an
amount equal to the smaller of 2% of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the
immediately preceding December 31 or an amount determined by our board of directors. The number of shares
authorized for issuance under the 2011 Plan will also be increased from time to time by up to that number of
shares of common stock remaining subject to options and restricted stock awards outstanding under the 2009
Plan at the time of its termination immediately following the corporate conversion that expire or terminate or are
forfeited for any reason after the effective date of the 2011 Plan, subject to a cap of 1,412,352 shares.
Appropriate adjustments will be made in the number of authorized shares and other numerical limits in the 2011
Plan and in outstanding awards to prevent dilution or enlargement of participants’ rights in the event of a stock
split or other change in our capital structure. Shares subject to awards granted under our 2011 Plan which expire,
are repurchased, or are cancelled or forfeited will again become available for issuance under the 2011 Plan. The
shares available will not be reduced by awards settled in cash. Shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding
obligations will not again become available for grant. The gross number of shares issued upon the exercise of
stock appreciation rights or options exercised by means of a net exercise or by tender of previously owned shares
will be deducted from the shares available under the 2011 Plan.

For more information on our 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, see “Item 11. Executive Compensation—Grants of

Plan-Based Awards—2011 Equity Incentive Plan.”

The Purchase Plan was approved by our board of directors in March 2010. Our board of directors amended

and restated the Purchase Plan in February 2011 to reflect that the Purchase Plan would become effective in 2011
upon the commencement of the MagnaChip Corporation IPO. The Purchase Plan was approved by our
stockholders in March 2011 and became effective upon the commencement of the MagnaChip Corporation IPO.
789,890 shares were initially authorized and reserved for sale under the Purchase Plan.

As of December 31, 2011, 789,304 shares of our common stock remained reserved for sale under the
Purchase Plan. In addition, the Purchase Plan provides for an automatic annual increase in the number of shares
available for issuance under the plan on January 1 of each year beginning in 2012 and continuing through and
including January 1, 2021 equal to the lesser of (i) 1% of our then issued and outstanding shares of common
stock on the immediately preceding December 31, (ii) 789,980 shares, or (iii) a number of shares as our board

may determine. Appropriate adjustments will be made in the number of authorized shares and in outstanding
purchase rights to prevent dilution or enlargement of participants’ rights in the event of a stock split or other
change in our capital structure. Shares subject to purchase rights which expire or are canceled will again become
available for issuance under the Purchase Plan.

Compensation—Grants of Plan-Based Awards—2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.”

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our outstanding common
stock for: (1) each person or entity known to us to beneficially own more than 5% of any class of our outstanding
securities; (2) each member of our board of directors; (3) each of our named executive officers; and (4) all of the
members of our board of directors and executive officers, as a group. The following tables list the number of
shares and percentage of shares beneficially owned based on 37,907,575 shares of common stock outstanding as
of December 31, 2011.

The amounts and percentages of equity interests beneficially owned are reported on the basis of SEC

regulations governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under SEC rules, a person is
deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares “voting power,” which includes the
power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or “investment power,” which includes the power to
dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any
securities of which that person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under these rules,
more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be
deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she has no economic interest.

Except as indicated by footnote, the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment

power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by them. Unless otherwise
indicated, the address of each person listed in the table below is c/o MagnaChip Semiconductor Ltd., 1 Hyang
jeong-dong, Hungduk-gu, Cheongju-si, 361-725, Korea.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Under our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, all conflicts of interest and related party transactions
involving our directors or executive officers must be reviewed and approved in writing by our full board of
directors. In the approval process, the approving authority will review all aspects of the conflict of interest or
related party transaction, including but not limited to: (i) compliance with laws, rules and regulations, (ii) the
adverse effect on our business and results of operations, (iii) the adverse effect on our relationships with third
parties such as customers, vendors and potential investors, (iv) the benefit to the director, officer or employee at
issue, and (v) the creation of morale problems among other employees. Our board of directors will only approve
those related party transactions that, in light of known circumstances, are in, or are not inconsistent with, our best
interests.

Senior Debt

In April 2010, we sold $250 million of 10.5% senior notes due 2018 order to repay our senior secured
credit facility. Funds affiliated with Avenue, our majority stockholder and an affiliate, which is also an affiliate

notes due 2018. On May 16, 2011, two of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, MagnaChip Semiconductor
S.A. and MagnaChip Semiconductor Finance Company, repurchased $35 million of the senior notes from funds

Notes Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the original issuance and sale of the senior notes, we entered into an exchange and
registration rights agreement, dated as of April 9, 2010, with the initial purchasers of the senior notes pursuant to
which we agreed to file, and thereafter filed, with the SEC a registration statement covering a registered
exchange offer by us for the senior notes and a shelf registration statement covering resales of senior notes by
certain holders, including Avenue.

Policy and procedure for approval of audit and permitted non-audit services

All audit fees were pre-approved by the Company’s Audit Committee, which concluded that the provision

of such services by Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers and its affiliates was compatible with the maintenance of that
firm’s independence in the conduct of its auditing functions. The Audit Committee’s Outside Auditor
Independence Policy provides for pre-approval of specifically described audit, audit-related, non-audit related
and tax services by the Audit Committee on an annual basis. Individual engagements must be separately
approved. The policy also requires specific approval by the Audit Committee if total fees for audit related and tax
services would exceed total fees for audit services in any fiscal year. The policy authorizes the Audit Committee
to delegate to one or more of its members pre-approval authority with respect to permitted services that will be
ratified by the entire Audit Committee at a future committee meeting in accordance with requirements of the
SEC. The Audit Committee followed these guidelines in approving all services rendered by Samil
PricewaterhouseCoopers and its affiliates.
