Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 11, 2023, Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Jackson Square Advisors LLC (“Jackson”), GT Investments II Corp (“GTI”) and Gilbert Nathan (in his capacity as a stockholder of the Company and together with Jackson and GTI, collectively, the “Stockholders”), who, collectively with certain of Mr. Nathan’s immediate family members, beneficially own 161,515 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 (“Common Stock”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) agreed that, reasonably promptly following the 2023 annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company (the “2023 Annual Meeting”), it will increase the size of the Board to seven directors and take all necessary action to appoint Mr. Nathan as a director of the Company with a term expiring at the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “2024 Annual Meeting”), and as a member of any ad hoc Strategic Review Committee of the Board. Until the time of such appointment, the Board has agreed that Mr. Nathan may attend meetings of the Board and any ad hoc Strategic Review Committee of the Board in a “board observer” capacity, subject to certain limitations.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Stockholders have agreed, among other things, to not nominate or recommend for nomination any person for election at the 2023 Annual Meeting, submit any proposal for consideration at the 2023 Annual Meeting or initiate, encourage or participate in any “withhold” or similar campaign with respect to the 2023 Annual Meeting. The Stockholders have also agreed to vote all of their shares in favor of the Company’s nominees at the 2023 Annual Meeting and to vote in favor of the Board’s recommendation with respect to any stockholder proposals or other business presented at the 2023 Annual Meeting. Further, the Stockholders have agreed that if at any time after the date of the Agreement, the Stockholders (and Mr. Nathan’s immediate family members) cease to beneficially own in the aggregate 125,000 shares of Common Stock, then the Stockholders shall cause Mr. Nathan to promptly offer to tender his resignation from the Board and any committee of the Board on which he may be a member, and the Company shall have no further obligations under the Agreement (other than with respect to non-disparagement). The Stockholders have also agreed to a customary standstill provision.

The foregoing summary of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
