Item 8.01.    Other Events.
On January 20, 2016, MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation (the “Company”) reached an agreement in principle with the plaintiff’s representatives to settle the shareholder derivative action captioned  Bushansky  v.  Norby, et al. , No. 1-15-CV-281284 (PHK) that is currently pending in the California Superior Court, Santa Clara County, against the Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors (the “Bushansky Action”). The parties entered into and filed a Stipulation of Settlement with the court on January 22, 2016, in which they agreed, among other things, that the Bushansky  action would be dismissed with prejudice as part of the settlement of the action captioned  Hemmingson, et al.  v. Elkins, et al. , No. 1-15-CV-278614 (PHK) (together with the Bushansky Action, the “Derivative Actions”). The principal terms of the  Hemmingson  settlement are described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 12, 2016. The Derivative Actions are more fully described in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2015.
The proposed settlement of the Derivative Actions remains subject to stockholder notice, court approval and other customary conditions.
