PROXY STATEMENT

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

GENERAL INFORMATION

Why am I receiving these materials?

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.

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 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 until their successors are elected and qualified. The Board of Directors has nominated two individuals for election this year to serve for three-year terms that will expire in 2015. The nominees are Dr. Ilbok Lee and Mr. R. Douglas Norby.

Mr. Mulhern joined Avenue, our affiliate, in 2004 and is currently a Senior Vice President at Avenue focused on identifying, analyzing and modeling investment opportunities for the Avenue U.S. strategy, primarily focused in the telecom, media and technology industries. Prior to joining Avenue, Mr. Mulhern was a Senior Vice President at Citadel Investment Group based in Chicago and London, focused on the analysis, negotiation and management of privately structured debt, equity and equity-linked investments. Previously, he was an analyst in Merrill Lynch’s merger & acquisition group and a consultant at Booz, Allen & Hamilton. Mr. Mulhern received a B.A. in Economics from the University of Notre Dame. Our board of directors has concluded that Mr. Mulhern should serve on the board based upon his experience as a financial advisor and investment manager.

The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the election of each of the Class I director nominees.

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.

8

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.

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.

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:

• 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.

16

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.

•    ABB Korea •    Accenture Korea •    Agilent Technologies Korea •    Alcatel-Lucent Korea •    AMD Korea •    Analog Devices Korea •    APC Korea •    Apple Computer •    Applied Materials Korea •    Arrow Electronics Korea •    ASML Korea •    Asurion Korea •    AT&T Global Networks Services Korea •    Autodesk Korea •    Autoliv Korea •    Avnet Korea •    Axcelis Technologies Korea •    Barco •    Blizzard Entertainment •    BMC Software Korea •    Bosch Electrical Drives •    Bosch Rexroth Korea •    Broadcom •    BT Global Services Korea •    CA Technologies •    Cadence Korea •    CDNetworks •    Cisco Systems Korea •    CSC Computer Sciences •    Cymer Korea •    Cypress Semiconductor Korea •    Dassault Systems Korea •    Dell International •    Delphi Korea Corporation •    Dimension Data Korea •    Domino Korea •    Edwards Korea •    Electronic Arts Korea •    EMC Computer Systems Korea •    Entegris Korea •    Equant Korea •    Fairchild Korea Semiconductor •    Freescale Semiconductor •    FSI Korea •    Fuji Xerox Korea •    Fujitsu Korea •    Google •    Harman International Korea •    Hewlett-Packard Korea •    IBM Korea •    IDC Korea •    Infineon Technologies Korea •    Intel Korea •    Invensys Korea •    Johnson Controls Korea •    Juniper Networks Korea •    KLA-Tencor Korea •    Kulicke and Soffa •    Lam Research Korea •    Leica Microsystems •    Lenovo •    Lexmark International •    LG-Ericsson •    Marvell Semiconductor Korea •    MEMC Korea Company •    Micron Semiconductor Korea •    Microsoft Korea •    Motorola Mobility Korea •    Nanometrics Korea •    National Computer Systems Korea •    National Semiconductor •    NDS Korea •    Network Appliance •    Nokia Korea •    Nokia Siemens Network Korea •    Novellus Korea •    NXP Semiconductors Korea •    Obigo •    On Semiconductor •    Oracle Korea •    Orbotech Korea •    Pacnet Korea •    Panduit •    Polycom Korea •    PTC Korea •    Qualcomm Korea •    Real Networks Asia Pacific •    Red Hat •    Renesas Electronics Korea •    Research In Motion Korea •    Robert Bosch Korea •    Rockwell Automation Korea •    Rogers Korea •    ROHM Semiconductor Korea Corporation •    SAP Korea •    SAS Korea •    Schaeffler Korea •    Schneider Electric Korea •    Sensata Technologies •    Siemens Industry Software •    SIMMTECH •    SingTel Korea •    SITA Korea •    Skyworks Solutions Korea •    Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications International •    Sony Korea •    STATS ChipPAC Korea •    ST-Ericsson Korea •    STMicroelectronics •    Sybase Korea •    Symantec Korea •    Synaptics International Korea •    Teleca Korea •    Tellabs Korea •    Timken Korea •    Toshiba Electronics Korea •    Trend Micro Korea •    Tyco Electronics AMP Korea •    Varian Korea •    Veeco Korea •    Verizon Business •    VMware Korea •    Western Digital Korea •    Westinghouse Korea •    Xilinx Korea •    Yahoo Korea

17

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 procedures. Pursuant to the Employee Retirement Benefit Security Act, Mr. Hwang, Ms. Sakai and Mr. McFarland are entitled to certain statutory severance benefits from us upon the termination of their employment with us for any reason.

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.

Name	Plan Name	Number of Years of Credited Service (#)			Present Value of Accumulated Benefit ($)		Payments During the Last Fiscal Year
Tae Young Hwang	Statutory Severance with Multiplier for Partial Period		16	(1)		836,666		—
Margaret Sakai	Statutory Severance		5			142,254		—
John McFarland	Statutory Severance		7			147,354		—

(1) Mr. Hwang accrued severance for his sixteen years of service at MagnaChip and its predecessor corporation. 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.

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.”

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.

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.

42

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:

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.

Fees Paid to Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The following table presents fees for professional services rendered by Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers and its affiliates for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

	Year Ended December 31
	2011		2010
	(in millions of US Dollars)
Audit fees	$	1.7	$	2.5
Audit Related fees		—		—
Tax fees		—		—
All other fees		—		—
Total	$	1.7	$	2.5

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.
