Explanatory Note

On December 5, 2014, MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original 8-K”) announcing that the Company’s Board of Directors had approved a plan to close the Company’s six-inch fabrication facility in Cheongju, South Korea (the “6-inch fab”). As required by Form 8-K, the Original 8-K is amended hereby to provide certain cost and impairment estimates associated with the closure of the 6-inch fab which were previously unavailable.

 

Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On December 4, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to close the 6-inch fab. This plan is expected to be substantially implemented over a period of 12 months from the date of approval of the plan, and the 6-inch fab is expected to be closed by the end of fiscal year 2015. The Company plans to transfer the 6-inch fab employees to the Company’s other facilities.

The Company currently estimates to incur costs associated with customer transition, equipment transfer, clean-up and other costs in the range of $4.0 million to $5.0 million, which excludes potential proceeds from sale of equipment, and the impairment of the assets related to the 6-inch fab described in Item 2.06 below. The Company does not currently expect to incur other material costs or charges that will result in future cash expenditures from the plan to close the 6-inch fab.

 

Item 2.06. Material Impairments.

The information set forth under Item 2.05 of this Current Report is hereby incorporated in this Item 2.06 by reference.

As a result of the closure of 6-inch fab, the Company evaluated the recoverability of the assets related to 6-inch fab and expects to incur a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $10.3 million related to such assets, substantially all of which is expected to be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2014. The Company does not currently expect that the impairment charge will result in any future cash expenditures.
