Item 3.01.	Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.	
(a)
On April 2, 2014, MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation (the “Company”) received from NYSE Regulation, Inc. (the “ NYSE ”) a notice of failure to satisfy a continued listing rule or standard and related monitoring. This notice informed the Company that, as a result of its failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “ 2013 Form 10-K ”), the Company is subject to the procedures specified in Section 802.01E (SEC Annual Report Timely Filing Criteria) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. As previously disclosed by the Company in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) on March 11, 2014 and Form 12b-25 filed with the SEC on March 17, 2014, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors determined that the Company incorrectly recognized revenue on certain transactions and as a result will restate its financial statements for each of the first, second and third quarters of 2013, all quarters in 2012 and for the years ending 2012 and 2011, which resulted in the Company’s inability to timely file its 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The 2013 Form 10-K was initially due March 17, 2014, and the Company failed to make the filing after timely filing a Form 12b-25 with the SEC within the fifteen-day extension period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which ended April 1, 2014 (for purposes of Section 802.01E of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, the later of these dates is referred to as the “ Filing Due Date ”).
The NYSE has notified the Company that under the Section 802.01E procedures, the NYSE will monitor the status of the filing of the 2013 Form 10-K and related public disclosures for up to a six-month period from its Filing Due Date (until October 1, 2014). If the Company has not filed the 2013 Form 10-K within six months from the Filing Due Date, the NYSE may, in its sole discretion, allow the Company’s common stock to trade for up to an additional six months pending the filing of the 2013 Form 10-K prior to commencing suspension or delisting procedures, depending on the Company’s specific circumstances. The letter from the NYSE also notes that the NYSE may commence delisting proceedings at any time during the extension period if the circumstances warrant.
The Company and its advisors are working diligently to complete the previously announced internal review and restatement. While substantial progress has been made, it is expected that this review and work with regard to the previously announced restatement will take several more months, and the Company is currently unable to estimate when it will be in a position to file its 2013 Form 10-K.
The Company issued a press release on April 4, 2014 announcing the receipt of the NYSE letter, which press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

PRESS RELEASE

Continued Listing Standards
SEOUL, South Korea and CUPERTINO, Calif., April 4, 2014 — MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation (“MagnaChip” or the “Company”) (NYSE: MX), a Korea-based designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products, today announced that, as expected, on April 2, 2014, the Company received a letter from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing requirements under the timely filing criteria outlined in Section 802.01E of the NYSE Listed Company Manual as a result of its failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
As previously disclosed by the Company in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 11, 2014 and Form 12b-25 filed with the SEC on March 17, 2014, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors determined that the Company incorrectly recognized revenue on certain transactions and as a result will restate its financial statements for each of the first, second and third quarters of 2013, all quarters in 2012 and for the years ending 2012 and 2011, which resulted in the Company’s inability to timely file its 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company and its advisors are working diligently to complete the previously announced internal review and restatement. While substantial progress has been made, it is expected that this review and work with regard to the previously announced restatement will take several more months, and the Company is currently unable to estimate when it will be in a position to file its 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The NYSE has informed the Company that, under the NYSE rules, the Company will have six months (until October 1, 2014) to file its 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC. If the Company fails to file its Form 10-K prior to such date, then the NYSE may, in its sole discretion, grant an additional extension of up to six months depending on the specific circumstances. The letter from the NYSE also notes that the NYSE may commence delisting proceedings at any time during the extension period if the circumstances warrant.
