On April 4, 2016, MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation (the “Company”) filed a report on Form 8-K (the “Original 8-K”) announcing that the Company’s Board of Directors had approved a voluntary resignation program (the “Program”). As required by Form 8-K, the Original 8-K is amended hereby to provide estimated amounts of the related severance and other termination benefits expected to be paid under the Program which were previously unavailable.
 
Item 2.05.	Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.	
As previously reported, the Company closed a legacy six-inch fabrication facility in Cheongju, Korea (the “6-inch fab”) on February 29, 2016 and commenced the Program, which was available to certain manufacturing employees, including the Company’s 6-inch fab employees, through the extended Program expiration date of April 29, 2016.
As of April 29, 2016, 169 employees elected to resign under the terms of the Program, from which the Company expects to save approximately $8 million in spending per year. The Company will pay approximately $8 million for severance benefits, which are required by law and have already been fully accrued in the Company’s financial statements, in a lump sum during the second quarter of 2016. The Company will also pay other termination benefits under the Program of approximately $4 million in the aggregate, payable in equal monthly installments over the next twelve months. The Company expects to record a $4 million charge related to the other termination benefits payable under the Program during the second quarter of 2016.
