submitted a Proof of Claim to the Claims Administrator in connection with the February 5, 2016

Stipulation of Settlement shall be required to timely submit a Proof of Claim (in substantially the

form set forth in Exhibit A-3 to the Preliminary Approval Order, which inter alia confirms the

release of all Released Claims against all Released Persons), signed under penalty of perjury by

the beneficial owner(s) of the MagnaChip Securities that are the subject of the Proof of Claim, or

by someone with documented authority to sign for the beneficial owners and supported by such

documents as specified in the instructions accompanying the Proof of Claim. All Proofs of Claim

submitted in connection with the February 5, 2016 Stipulation of Settlement shall be deemed to be

equally sufficient to establish transactions in MagnaChip securities as if submitted separately in

connection with this Settlement, and the release by all such claimants of all Released Persons shall

be of the same force and effect as if they submitted a Proof of Claim in the form attached to the

Preliminary Approval Order as Exhibit A-3).

4. All Proofs of Claim must be postmarked or received within the time prescribed in

the Preliminary Approval Order unless otherwise ordered by the Court. Any Class Member who

fails to submit a properly completed Proof of Claim (including a properly completed Proof of


20

Claim in connection with the February 5, 2016 Stipulation of Settlement) within such period as

shall be authorized by the Court shall be forever barred from receiving any payments pursuant to

this Stipulation or from the Net Settlement Fund (unless Class Counsel in its discretion deems such

late filing to be a formal or technical defect and waives the late filing in the interest of achieving

substantial justice, or unless by order of the Court a later submitted Proof of Claim by such Class

Member is approved), but will in all other respects be subject to the provisions of this Stipulation

and Order and Final Judgment, including, without limitation, the release of the Released Claims

and dismissal of the Action. Provided that it is received before the motion for the Class

Distribution Order is filed, a Proof of Claim shall be deemed to have been submitted when posted

if received with a postmark indicated on the envelope and if mailed by first-class mail and

addressed in accordance with the instructions thereon. In all other cases, the Proof of Claim shall

be deemed to have been submitted when actually received by the Claims Administrator.

5. Each Proof of Claim shall be submitted to the Claims Administrator who shall

determine, under the supervision of Class Counsel, in accordance with this Stipulation and any

applicable orders of the Court, the extent, if any, to which each claim shall be allowed, subject to

appeal to the Court.

6. Proofs of Claim that do not meet the filing requirements may be rejected. Prior to

rejection of a Proof of Claim, the Claims Administrator shall communicate with the Claimant in

order to remedy curable deficiencies in the Proof of Claim submitted. The Claims Administrator,

under the supervision of Class Counsel, shall notify in a timely fashion and in writing, all

Claimants whose Proofs of Claim they propose to reject in whole or in part, setting forth the

reasons thereof, and shall indicate in such notice that the Claimant whose claims are to be rejected


21

has the right to review by the Court if the Claimant so desires and complies with the requirement

of paragraph D.7 below.

7. If any Claimant whose claim has been rejected in whole or in part desires to contest

such rejection, the Claimant must, within ten (10) days after the date of mailing of the notice

required by paragraph D.6 above, serve upon the Claims Administrator a notice and statement of

reasons indicating the Claimant’s ground for contesting the rejection along with any supporting

documentation, and requesting a review thereof by the Court. If a dispute concerning a claim

cannot be otherwise resolved, Class Counsel shall thereafter present the request for review to the

Court.

8. The administrative determination of the Claims Administrator accepting and

rejecting claims shall be presented to the Court, on notice to all parties, for approval by the Court

in the Class Distribution Order. For efficiency and clarity, the presentment and proposed Class

Distribution Order may be combined with the presentment and proposed Settlement Class

Distribution Order related to the February 5, 2016 Stipulation of Settlement.

9. Payment pursuant to this Stipulation shall be deemed final and conclusive against

all Class Members. All Class Members whose claims are not approved by the Court shall be barred

from participating in distributions from the Net Settlement Fund, but are otherwise bound by all

of the terms of the Order and Final Judgment to be entered in the Litigation and the releases

provided for in this Stipulation, and will be barred from bringing any action against the Released

Persons arising out of or relating to the Released Claims.

10. All proceedings with respect to the administration, processing, and determination

of claims described in this Stipulation and the determination of all controversies relating thereto,


22

including disputed questions of law and fact with respect to the validity of claims, shall be subject

to the jurisdiction of the Court.

11. The Net Settlement Fund shall be distributed to Authorized Claimants by the

Claims Administrator upon application to the Court by Class Counsel for a Class Distribution

Order only after all of the following have occurred: (i) the Effective Date; (ii) all claims have been

processed, and all Claimants whose claims have been rejected or disallowed, in whole or in part,

have been notified and provided the opportunity to be heard concerning such rejection or

disallowance; (iii) all objections with respect to all rejected or disallowed claims have been

resolved by the Court, and all appeals therefrom have been resolved or the time therefor has

expired; (iv) all matters with respect to Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses, Award to Class

Representatives, costs, and disbursements have been resolved by the Court, and all appeals

therefrom have been resolved or the time therefor has expired; and (v) all costs of administration

have been paid.

12. If any funds remain in the Net Settlement Fund by reason of uncashed checks or

otherwise, then, after the Claims Administrator has made reasonable and diligent efforts to have

Class Members who are entitled to participate in the distribution of the Net Settlement Fund cash

their distribution checks, any balance remaining in the Net Settlement Fund six (6) months after

the initial distribution of such funds shall be re-distributed, after payment of any unpaid costs or

fees incurred in administering the Net Settlement Fund for such redistribution, to Class Members

who have cashed their checks and who would receive at least $10.00 (Ten Dollars) from such re-

distribution. If any funds shall remain in the Net Settlement Fund six months after such re-

distribution, then such balance shall be contributed in equal amounts to Bay Area Legal Aid and

to the Institute of Law and Economic Policy (www.ilep.info).


23

13. Before the Effective Date, Class Counsel shall file with the Court a declaration

under penalty of perjury describing how notice of the Settlement was given to the Class.

E. TAX TREATMENT

1. Class Representatives agree to treat the Gross Settlement Fund as being at all times

a qualified settlement fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.468B-1 and Section

468B of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, for the taxable years of the Gross Settlement

Fund, beginning with the date it is created. In addition, the Escrow Agent and, as required, Class

Representatives and Avenue Capital, shall jointly and timely make such elections as are necessary

or advisable to carry out the provisions of this paragraph, including the “relation-back election”

(as defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.468B-1(j)(2)) back to the earliest permitted date. Such elections shall

be made in compliance with the procedures and requirements contained in such regulations. It shall

be the responsibility of the Claims Administrator to timely and properly prepare and deliver the

necessary documentation for signature by all necessary parties, and thereafter to cause the

appropriate filing to occur.

2. For purposes of Section 468B of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and the

regulations promulgated thereunder, the "administrator" shall be the Claims Administrator. The

Claims Administrator shall timely and properly file all tax returns necessary or advisable with

respect to the Gross Settlement Fund, and make all required tax payments, including deposits of

estimated tax payments in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.468B-2(k). Such returns (as well as the

election described in paragraph E.1 hereof) shall be consistent with this paragraph and reflect that

all taxes (including any interest or penalties) on the income earned by the Gross Settlement Fund

shall be paid out of the Gross Settlement Fund as provided in paragraph E.3 hereof.


24

3. All Taxes and Tax Expenses shall be paid out of the Gross Settlement Fund. In all

events, the Released Persons shall have no liability for the Taxes and Tax Expenses. Further,

Taxes and Tax Expenses shall be treated as, and considered to be, a cost of administration of the

Settlement and shall be timely paid by the Escrow Agent out of the Gross Settlement Fund without

prior order from the Court. The Escrow Agent shall be obligated (notwithstanding anything in this

Stipulation to the contrary) to withhold from distribution to the Class Members any funds

necessary to pay such Taxes and Tax Expenses, including the establishment of adequate reserves

for any Taxes and Tax Expenses. Class Representatives agree to cooperate with the Escrow Agent,

each other, and their tax attorneys and accountants to the extent reasonably necessary to carry out

the provisions of this paragraph.

4. The Released Persons shall have no liability for or obligations with regard to Taxes

and Tax Expenses. The Gross Settlement Fund shall indemnify and hold each of the Released

Persons harmless for any Taxes and Tax Expenses (including, without limitation, taxes payable by

reason of such indemnification).

5. Class Representatives, the Class and Class Counsel shall have no liability for or

obligations with regard to Taxes and Tax Expenses. The Gross Settlement Fund shall indemnify

and hold each of Class Representative, the Class and Class Counsel harmless for any Taxes and

Tax Expenses (including, without limitation, taxes payable by reason of such indemnification).

F. ALLOCATION OF NET SETTLEMENT FUND

1. The Plan of Allocation is based upon Class Counsel’s assessment of the merits and

the relative strengths and weaknesses, including recoverable damages, of the claims of the Class

Members.


25

2. The Released Persons do not take any position as to the proposed Plan of Allocation

and shall have no responsibility for or obligations or liabilities of any kind whatsoever in

connection with the proposed or finalized Plan of Allocation.

3. The Released Persons shall have no responsibility for and no obligations or

liabilities of any kind whatsoever in connection with the determination, administration,

calculation, or payment of claims to Class Members.

4. The Released Persons shall have no involvement in the solicitation or review of

Proofs of Claim, and shall have no involvement in the administration process itself, which shall be

conducted by the Claims Administrator in accordance with this Stipulation and the Order and Final

Judgment to be entered by the Court. No Claimant or Authorized Claimant shall have any claim

against the Released Persons or their counsel based on, or in any way relating to any Proof of

Claim, Plan of Allocation, or the distributions from either the Gross Settlement Fund or the Net

Settlement Fund.

5. No person shall have any claim against Class Counsel or the Claims Administrator

based on, or in any way relating to, the distributions from the Net Settlement Fund that have been

made substantially in accordance with this Stipulation and any applicable orders of the Court.

6. Any change in the allocation of the Net Settlement Fund ordered by the Court shall

not affect the validity, finality or enforceability of this Settlement.

G. OBLIGATIONS OF AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY OF ESCROW AGENT

1. The Escrow Agent’s obligations shall be limited to maintaining account of and

properly paying sums as required by this Stipulation to the limited extent that such sums have been

delivered into the Settlement Escrow Account or the Notice and Administration Escrow Account


26

as required by this Stipulation. The Escrow Agent shall be liable only for acts of fraud, gross

negligence, willful misconduct or material violations of the obligations in this Stipulation.

H. CLASS COUNSEL’S REQUEST FOR AN AWARD OF ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES

1. Class Counsel intends to submit an application to the Court on behalf of each

Plaintiffs’ Counsel, on notice to counsel for Defendant, for the payment of Attorneys’ Fees and

Expenses, including: (i) an award of attorneys’ fees; (ii) an award of litigation costs and expenses,

plus interest, including fees and expenses of experts, incurred in connection with the prosecution

of the Action; and (iii) an Award to Class Representatives.

2. Any Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses awarded by the Court shall be paid from the

Gross Settlement Fund no later than ten (10) calendar days after the Court enters the Order and

Final Judgment (substantially in the Form attached as Exhibit B hereto). Class Counsel shall

thereafter be solely responsible for allocating the Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses among themselves

and other Plaintiffs’ Counsel in a manner in which Class Counsel in good faith believe reflects the

contributions of such counsel to the initiation, prosecution, and resolution of the Action. If, and

when, as a result of any appeal and/or further proceedings on remand, or successful collateral

attack, the Attorneys’ Fees and Expense award is overturned or lowered, or if the Settlement is

terminated or is not approved by the Court, or if there is an appeal and any order approving the

settlement does not become final and binding upon the Class, then, within thirty (30) calendar days

after receiving notice from Defendant’s Counsel or such an order from a court of appropriate

jurisdiction, each Plaintiffs’ Counsel law firm shall refund to the Gross Settlement Fund such fees

and expenses previously paid to them from the Gross Settlement Fund plus interest thereon at the

same rate as earned on the Gross Settlement Fund in an amount consistent with such reversal or

modification. Each Plaintiffs’ Counsel law firm shall be jointly and severally liable for the


27

repayment of all Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses awarded by the Court, and, by receiving Attorneys’

Fees and Expenses, as a condition of receiving such fees and expenses, on behalf of itself and each

partner and/or shareholder of it, agrees that (i) it and its partners and/or shareholders are subject to

the jurisdiction of the Court for the purpose of enforcing this Stipulation; (ii) it and its partners

and/or shareholders shall be subject to repayment of all Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses awarded by

the Court allocated to it, including all amounts paid as referral fees to other law firms, as well as

accrued interest; and (iii) the Court may, upon application of Defendant or Defendant’s Counsel

summarily issue orders, including, without limitation, judgments and attachment orders, and may

make appropriate findings of or sanctions for contempt against any of Plaintiffs’ Counsel law firm

or any of its partners and/or shareholders should such Plaintiffs’ Counsel law firm fail timely to

repay Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses pursuant to this paragraph. Released Persons shall not be

liable in any respect for the allocation of Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses.

3. Any Award to Class Representatives shall be paid from the Gross Settlement Fund

ten (10) days following the Order and Final Judgment becoming Final.

4. It is agreed that the procedure for and the allowance or disallowance by the Court

of any applications by Class Counsel for Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses and for the Award to Class

Representatives, including fees for experts and consultants to be paid out of the Gross Settlement

Fund, and any order or proceeding relating thereto, shall not operate to terminate or cancel this

Stipulation or affect its finality, and shall have no effect on the terms of this Stipulation or on the

validity or enforceability of this Settlement. The approval of the Settlement, and it becoming Final,

shall not be contingent on the award of Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses, any Award to Class

Representatives, or any other amounts to Class Representatives or Class Counsel, nor any appeals

to such awards.


28

I. THE PRELIMINARY APPROVAL ORDER

1. Upon execution of this Stipulation, and by no later than July 6, 2017, Class Counsel

contain the following provision in the Bar Order:

Subject to the provisions of the Stipulation, all Persons are barred from commencing, prosecuting, or asserting any Barred Claims. All Barred Claims are hereby extinguished, discharged, satisfied, and unenforceable.

3. Inclusion of the Bar Order in the Order and Final Judgment is material to the

Parties’ decision to participate in this Stipulation. If the Order and Final Judgment fails to include


29

the Bar Order, or if appellate review of the Bar Order is sought and on such review the Bar Order

is vacated, modified or reversed, then the conditions specified in K.1 shall not be met.

4. The Order and Final Judgment will provide that (i) nothing in the Order and Final

Judgment will bar the Released Persons from pursuing claims that are outside the scope or

independent of the Released Defendant’s Claims, including but not limited to any claim that any

Released Person may have for indemnification related to costs and expenses incurred in responding

to the Action; and (ii) nothing in the Order and Final Judgment will bar or constitute a release of

the Class in accordance with the provisions of the Preliminary Approval Order and the notice given

pursuant thereto, and such Persons in the aggregate purchased MagnaChip Securities during the

Class Period in an amount greater than the amounts specified in a separate Supplemental

Agreement between the Parties (the “Supplemental Agreement”), then Defendant, in its sole

discretion, shall have the option to terminate this Stipulation and Settlement in strict accordance

with the requirements and procedures set forth in the Supplemental Agreement (“Opt-out

Termination Option”). If permitted, the Supplemental Agreement shall be filed with the Court

under seal. Copies of all Requests for Exclusion received, together with copies of all written

tax refund, after deduction of any fees and expenses incurred in connection with such

application(s) for refund, to Defendant.


33

14. Because of the arm’s-length negotiations that preceded the execution of this

Stipulation, all Parties have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of this

Stipulation. This Stipulation shall not be construed against any Party on the basis that such party

was the primary drafter of this Stipulation, or if so construed, this Stipulation shall be construed

as if all Parties participated equally in such drafting.

15. Neither this Stipulation, nor the fact of the Settlement, is an admission or

the Action was brought by Plaintiffs or defended by Defendant in bad faith or without a reasonable

basis. Additionally, the Parties shall not assert any claims of any violation of Rule 11 of the Federal

Rules of Civil Procedure relating to the prosecution, defense, or settlement of the Action. The

to the confidentiality of information shall survive this Settlement.

18. The headings in this Stipulation are used for purposes of convenience and ease of

reference only and are not meant to have any legal effect, nor are they intended to influence the

construction of this Stipulation in any way.

Capital” or the “Settling Defendant”)1 have agreed to settlement of all claims asserted in this

Action against the Released Persons;

WHEREAS, that Settlement was entered into through a Stipulation and Agreement of

Settlement, dated June 14, 2017 (the “Stipulation”), which is subject to review under Rule 23 of

the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and which, together with the exhibits thereto, sets forth the

terms and conditions for the proposed Settlement of the claims alleged in the Complaint filed in

the Action on the merits and with prejudice; and

WHEREAS, this Court having read and considered the Stipulation, the proposed “Notice

of Pendency and Proposed Settlement of Class Action” (“Notice”), the proposed “Summary

Notice of Pendency and Proposed Settlement of Class Action” (“Summary Notice”), the

proposed Plan of Allocation for the distribution of the Net Settlement Fund among Class

Members, the proposed form of the Proof of Claim and Release (“Proof of Claim”), the proposed

form of the Order and Final Judgment, and submissions made relating thereto, and finding that

substantial and sufficient grounds exist for entering this Order;

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, this ____ day of _____, 2017, that:

1. Unless indicated otherwise, capitalized terms used herein have the same meanings

defined in the Stipulation.

2. A hearing (the “Settlement Hearing”) pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure

23(e) is hereby scheduled to be held before the Court on _____, 2017 at ____ _.m. for the

a. to determine whether the Settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate, and

should be approved by the Court;

b. to finally determine whether the Order and Final Judgment as provided under

the Stipulation should be entered, dismissing the Complaint on the merits and

with prejudice, and to determine whether the release by the Class of the

f. to rule upon such other matters as the Court may deem appropriate.

3. The Court reserves the right to approve the Settlement with such modifications as

may be agreed upon or consented to by the Settling Parties and without further notice to the

Class where to do so would not impair Class Members’ rights in a manner inconsistent with Rule

23 and due process of law. The Court further reserves the right to enter its Order and Final

Judgment approving the Settlement and dismissing the Complaint, on the merits and with

prejudice, regardless of whether it has approved the Plan of Allocation or awarded Attorneys’

Fees and Expenses or made an Award to Plaintiffs.

the Summary Notice, and (c) the Proof of Claim, all of which are exhibits to the Stipulation.

consummate the Settlement.

6. Strategic Claims Services is appointed and approved as the Claims Administrator

for the Settlement.

7. Class Counsel is authorized to establish a Notice and Administration Escrow

Settlement and distributing payments therefrom, and for other reasonable out-of-pocket

administrative expenses. After the Effective Date, additional amounts may be transferred from

the Gross Settlement Fund to the Notice and Administration Escrow Account. All funds held in

the Notice and Administration Escrow Account shall be deemed to be in custodia legis and shall

remain subject to the jurisdiction of this Court until such time as the funds shall be distributed or

returned to the Gross Settlement Fund pursuant to the Stipulation and/or further order of the

Court.

8. Class Counsel is authorized to establish a Settlement Escrow Account (as defined

in the Stipulation) for the remainder of the $6,200,000.00 (Six Million Two Hundred Thousand

Dollars and Zero Cents) in accordance with the provisions of the Stipulation. All funds held in

the Settlement Escrow Account shall be deemed to be in custodia legis and shall remain subject

to the jurisdiction of this Court until such time as the funds shall be distributed or returned

pursuant to the Stipulation and/or further order of the Court.

9. The Claims Administrator is authorized and directed to prepare any tax returns

and any other tax reporting forms for, or in respect of, the Gross Settlement Fund, to pay from

the Gross Settlement Fund any Taxes and Tax Expenses owed with respect to the Gross

Settlement Fund, and otherwise to perform all obligations with respect to Taxes and Tax

Expenses and any reporting or filings in respect thereof without further order of this Court in a

manner consistent with the provisions of the Stipulation.

10. In light of the fact that all reasonably identified Class Members were already

provided notice via both first-class mail and publication of the settlement website administered

by the Claims Administrator, www.strategicclaims.net/MagnaChip, in connection with the

previous settlement in this Action, the Court approves the following plan of notice for this

Settlement: (a) Class Counsel, through the Claims Administrator, shall cause the Summary

Notice, substantially in the form annexed hereto, to be mailed, by first class mail, postage

prepaid, within fourteen (14) calendar days of the entry of this Order, to all Class Members who

can be identified with reasonable effort by the Claims Administrator, advising them of the

Settlement and of the availability of documentation on the settlement website; (b) Class Counsel,

through the Claims Administrator, shall cause the publication of the Summary Notice at least

twice within twenty-one (21) calendar days of the entry of this Order, via a newswire with broad,

national distribution; (c) Class Counsel, through the Claims Administrator, shall email the Notice

to all Class Members for whom the Claims Administrator has email addresses, as the result of

the previous settlement administration; and (d) Class Counsel, through the Claims Administrator,

shall make the Notice, Summary Notice, Proof of Claim, Stipulation, Preliminary Approval

Order and (Proposed) Final Approval Order available on the settlement website.

11. Class Counsel, through the Claims Administrator, shall also make all reasonable

efforts to give notice to nominee owners such as brokerage firms and other persons or entities

who purchased MagnaChip Securities during the Class Period. Such nominee purchasers are

directed to forward copies of the Summary Notice to their beneficial owners or to provide the

Claims Administrator with lists of the names and addresses of the beneficial owners and the

Claims Administrator is ordered to send the Summary Notice promptly to such beneficial

owners. Additional copies of the Summary Notice shall be made available to any record holder

requesting same for the purpose of distribution to beneficial owners, and such record holders

shall be reimbursed from the Gross Settlement Fund, upon receipt by the Claims Administrator

of proper documentation, for the reasonable expense of sending the Summary Notice to

beneficial owners. A nominee’s failure to transmit the Summary Notice to a beneficial owner

shall not impact whether that beneficial owner is considered a Class Member. Nothing in this

Order creates any duties, liabilities, obligations, responsibilities, or rights as between any

nominee and any beneficial owner that do not already otherwise exist in contract or by law.

12. The Claims Administrator shall, at or before the Settlement Hearing, serve upon

the Defendant’s Counsel, and file with the Court, proof of mailing, both to Class Members and to

nominees.

13. The forms and methods set forth herein of notifying the Class of the Settlement

and its terms and conditions meet the requirements of due process and Rule 23 of the Federal

Rules of Civil Procedure, Section 21D(a)(7) of the Exchange Act, 15 U.S.C. 78u-4(a)(7), as

amended by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995; constitute the best notice

practicable under the circumstances; and constitute due and sufficient notice to all persons and

entities entitled thereto. No Class Member will be relieved from the terms of the Settlement,

including the releases provided for therein, based upon the contention or proof that such Class

Member failed to receive actual or adequate notice.

14. In order to be entitled to participate in recovery from the Net Settlement Fund

after the Effective Date:

EXHIBIT A-1



KEITH THOMAS, RICHARD HAYES, HERB SMITH, and OKLAHOMA POLICE PENSION & RETIREMENT SYSTEM,

CASE NO.: 3:14-CV-01160-JST

CLASS ACTION Hon. Jon S. Tigar

Plaintiffs, v.

MAGNACHIP SEMICONDUCTOR CORP., SANG PARK, TAE YOUNG HWANG, MARGARET SAKAI, R. DOUGLAS NORBY, ILBOK LEE, NADER TAVAKOLI, RANDAL KLEIN, MICHAEL ELKINS, AVENUE CAPITAL MANAGEMENT II, L.P., BARCLAYS CAPITAL INC., DEUTSCHE BANK SECURITIES INC., CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS INC., UBS SECURITIES LLC, and NEEDHAM & COMPANY, LLC, Defendants.

NOTICE OF PENDENCY AND PROPOSED SETTLEMENT OF CLASS ACTION

If you purchased or otherwise acquired the common stock (“MagnaChip Securities”) of MagnaChip Semiconductor Corp. (“MagnaChip”) between February 1, 2012 and March 11, 2014, inclusive, you could get a payment from a class action settlement (the “Settlement”).

Under law, a federal court has authorized this notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer. If approved by the Court, the Settlement will provide $6,200,000.00 (Six Million Two Hundred

Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents) in cash (the “Settlement Amount”) to pay claims of investors who purchased MagnaChip common stock between February 1, 2012 and March 11, 2014, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

The Settlement represents an average recovery of $0.24 per share of MagnaChip Securities for the 25.2 million shares outstanding as of March 11, 2014, the end of the Class Period. A share may have been traded more than once during the Class Period. This estimate solely reflects the average recovery per outstanding share of MagnaChip common stock. The indicated average recovery per share will be the total average recovery for all purchasers of that share. This is not an estimate of the actual recovery per share you should expect. Your actual recovery will depend on the aggregate losses of all Class Members that file claims on the Settlement, the date(s) you purchased and sold MagnaChip common stock, and the total number and amount of claims filed.


2

Class Counsel (identified below) intends to ask the Court to award them Attorneys’ Fees in an amount not to exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the Gross Settlement Fund, an award of Expenses of no more than $1,100,000 and an Award to Plaintiffs not to exceed $2,000 each. Collectively, the maximum amount of Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses are estimated to average $0.06 per share of MagnaChip Securities. If approved by the Court, these amounts will be paid from the Gross Settlement Fund.

The approximate recovery, after deduction of (i) Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses approved by the Court, (ii) Taxes and Tax Expenses, (iii) Notice and Administration Expenses as authorized by the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement dated June 14, 2017 (the “Stipulation”), (iv) any Award to Plaintiffs (identified below) approved by the Court, and (v) other fees and expenses authorized by the Court, is an average of $0.04 per share of MagnaChip Securities. This estimate is based on the assumptions set forth in the preceding paragraph. Your actual recovery, if any, will vary depending on your purchase price and sales price, and the number and amount of claims filed. The Settlement resolves the Action (as defined below) which concerned (among other things) Plaintiffs’ claims that MagnaChip, certain of its officers and directors, and certain underwriters made false and misleading statements in violation of federal securities laws, based upon the allegations set forth in the Third Amended Complaint (the “Complaint”). The Complaint alleged, among other things, that MagnaChip engaged in illicit accounting practices, including improper revenue recognition. Settling Defendant Avenue Capital Management II, L.P. (“Avenue Capital”) denies all allegations of misconduct and liability.

Your legal rights will be affected whether you act or do not act. If you do not act, you may permanently forfeit your right to recover on this claim. Therefore, you should read this notice carefully.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OPTIONS IN THIS SETTLEMENT

ALREADY SUBMITTED A VALID PROOF OF CLAIM FORM IN PRIOR SETTLEMENT?

You need not submit a claim form now if you previously submitted a valid proof of claim in the prior settlement with MagnaChip and its officers and directors. The Claims Administrator will use the information already on file.

IF YOU DID NOT PREVIOUSLY SUBMIT A CLAIM, SUBMIT NO LATER THAN ________________, 2017

OBJECT NO LATER THAN ________________, 2017

Write to the Court about why you do not like the Settlement.

COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS CONCERNING THE SETTLEMENT

1. Why did I get this Notice?

You or someone in your family may have acquired MagnaChip Securities during the Class Period.

2. What is this lawsuit about?

The case is known as Thomas, et al. v. MagnaChip Semiconductor Corp., et al., Case No. 3:14-CV-01160-JST (N.D. Cal.) (the “Action”), and the Court in charge of the case is the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. By Order dated July 3, 2014, the Court appointed Keith Thomas (“Thomas”) as Lead Plaintiff, and Pomerantz LLP (“Pomerantz”) as Lead Plaintiff’s Counsel. Among other things, the Complaint alleges that during the Class Period, MagnaChip engaged in illicit accounting practices, including recognizing revenue for sales that never occurred and products that never shipped. The Action also alleges that Avenue Capital was a control person of MagnaChip, and that Avenue Capital sold MagnaChip shares while in the possession of non-public, material information. Avenue Capital denies these allegations. A previous settlement resolving the claims against all defendants other than Avenue Capital was granted final approval on November 21, 2016. In the meantime, Plaintiffs continued to pursue the Action against Avenue Capital. On July 8, 2016, Plaintiffs moved for class certification against Avenue Capital. On December 22, 2016, the Court granted Plaintiffs’ motion for class certification of the claims against Avenue Capital for a Class Period of February 1, 2012 to March 11, 2014, inclusive. The Court appointed Thomas and additional named Plaintiff Herb Smith (“Smith”) as Class Representatives (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) and appointed Pomerantz and The Rosen Law Firm, P.A. (“Rosen”) as Class Counsel.


4

Plaintiffs reviewed hundreds of thousands of pages of documents produced by Defendants in the Action and deposed more than a dozen fact and expert witnesses, including seven (7) depositions in the Republic of Korea, where MagnaChip is headquartered. Additional mediation sessions on July 22, 2016 and May 12, 2017 presided over by Judge Phillips and experienced mediator Michelle Yoshida, respectively, resulted in this Settlement of Plaintiffs’ remaining claims against Avenue Capital.

3. Why is this a class action?

In a class action, class representatives sue on behalf of all persons and/or entities who have similar claims. All of these persons and/or entities are referred to collectively as a class, and these individual persons and/or entities are known as class members. One court resolves all of the issues for all class members, except for those class members who exclude themselves from the class.

4. Why is there a Settlement?

Plaintiffs and Avenue Capital do not agree regarding the merits of Plaintiffs’ allegations with respect to liability or the average amount of damages per share that would be recoverable if Plaintiffs were to prevail at trial on each claim against Avenue Capital. The issues on which the Plaintiffs and Avenue Capital disagree include: (1) whether MagnaChip and its officers/directors made false and misleading statements; (2) whether MagnaChip and its officers/directors made these statements knowingly; (3) whether Avenue Capital was a control person of MagnaChip; (4) whether the statements were the cause of the Class Members’ alleged damages; (5) the amount of damages, if any, suffered by the Class Members; (6) the proportionate liability, if any, of Avenue Capital for any of these statements; and (7) whether Avenue Capital sold MagnaChip shares while in the possession of material, non-public information.

This matter has not gone to trial, and the Court has not decided in favor of any party involved in this Action. Instead, Plaintiffs and Avenue Capital have agreed to settle the Action following mediation efforts involving the Settling Parties, Judge Phillips, and Ms. Yoshida. Plaintiffs and Class Counsel believe the Settlement is best for all Class Members because of the risks associated with continued litigation and the nature of the defenses raised by Avenue Capital.

5. How do I know if I am part of the Class? To be a Class Member, you must have purchased or otherwise acquired MagnaChip common stock between February 1, 2012 and March 11, 2014, inclusive.

6. Is anyone excluded from participating in the Class?

Yes. Excluded from the Class are all current and former defendants, Avenue Capital’s present and former parents, subsidiaries, divisions, departments, affiliates (including any investment funds it manages), stockholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, and any of their advisors, counsel, underwriters, representatives (and the predecessors, successors, insurers, administrators and assigns of each of the foregoing), MagnaChip’s officers and directors during the Class Period, and all such excluded person’s immediate families, legal representatives, heirs, parents, wholly-owned subsidiaries, successors, and assigns. Also excluded are those persons who file valid and timely requests for exclusion.

7. What does the Settlement provide?

a. What is the Gross Settlement Fund? The proposed Settlement will create a Gross Settlement Fund in the amount of $6,200,000.00 (Six Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents), plus all interest earned thereon. The Settlement is subject to Court approval. Also, subject to the Court's approval, a portion of the Gross Settlement Fund will be used to pay Class Counsel’s Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses and any Award to Plaintiffs. A portion of the Gross Settlement Fund also will be used to pay (i) Taxes and Tax Expenses in respect of the Gross Settlement Fund; (ii) Notice and Administration Expenses as authorized by the Stipulation; and (iii) other fees and expenses authorized by the Court. After the foregoing deductions from the Settlement Fund have been made, the amount remaining (the “Net Settlement Fund”) will be distributed to Class Members who submit valid claims.

b. What can you expect to receive under the proposed Settlement? Your share of the Net Settlement Fund will or may depend on, among other things: (i) the number of claims filed; (ii) the dates you purchased and sold MagnaChip Securities; (iii) the prices of your purchases and sales; (iv) the amount of Notice and Administration Expenses; and (v) the amount of Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses awarded to Class Counsel by the Court and the amount of any Award to Plaintiffs approved by the Court.

PROPOSED PLAN OF ALLOCATION OF THE NET SETTLEMENT FUND AMONG SETTLEMENT CLASS MEMBERS

The objective of the Plan of Allocation is to equitably distribute the Net Settlement Fund among Authorized Claimants based on their respective alleged economic losses as a result of the alleged fraud, as opposed to losses caused by market-or industry-wide factors, or Company-specific factors unrelated to the alleged fraud. The Claims Administrator shall determine each Authorized Claimant’s share of the Net Settlement Fund based upon the recognized loss formula (the “Recognized Loss”) described below. A Recognized Loss will be calculated for each MagnaChip Security purchased or otherwise acquired during the Class Period.1 The calculation of Recognized Loss will depend upon several factors, including when the MagnaChip Securities were purchased or otherwise acquired during the Class Period; in what amounts; whether those securities were sold; and if sold, when they were sold and for what amounts. The Recognized Loss is not intended to estimate the amount a Class Member might have been able to recover after a trial, nor to estimate the amount that will be paid to Authorized Claimants pursuant to the Settlement. The Recognized Loss is the basis upon which the Net Settlement Fund will be proportionately allocated to the Authorized Claimants. The Claims Administrator will use its best efforts to administer and distribute the Net Settlement Fund to the extent that it is equitably and economically feasible.

The Plan of Allocation was created with the assistance of a consulting damages expert and reflects the assumption that the prices of MagnaChip Securities were artificially inflated throughout the Class Period. The estimated, alleged artificial inflation in the prices of MagnaChip Securities during the 1 During the Class Period, MagnaChip common stock was listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol “MX.”


6

Class Period is reflected in Table 1 below. The computation of the estimated, alleged artificial inflation in the prices of MagnaChip Securities during the Class Period is based on certain misrepresentations alleged by Plaintiffs and the price change in the security, net of market-and industry-wide factors, in reaction to the public announcements that allegedly corrected the misrepresentations alleged by Plaintiffs.

Federal securities laws allow investors to recover for losses caused by disclosures which corrected the defendants’ previous misleading statements or omissions. Thus, in order to have been damaged by the alleged violations of the federal securities laws, MagnaChip Securities purchased or otherwise acquired during the Class Period must have been held during a period of time in which its price declined due to the disclosure of information which corrected an allegedly misleading statement or omission. Plaintiffs and Class Counsel have determined that such price declines occurred on January 28, 2014 and March 12, 2014 (the “Corrective Disclosure Dates”). Accordingly, if a MagnaChip Security was sold before January 28, 2014 (the earliest Corrective Disclosure Date), the Recognized Loss for that security is $0.00, and any loss suffered is not compensable under the federal securities laws. Likewise, if a MagnaChip Security was both purchased and sold between the two Corrective Disclosure Dates, the Recognized Loss for that security is $0.00.

Table 1 Artificial Inflation in MagnaChip Securities2, 3

From To Per-Share Price Inflation February 1, 2012 January 27, 2014 $1.98 January 28, 2014 March 11, 2014 $0.45 March 12, 2014 Thereafter $0.00

For purposes of this Plan of Allocation, any purchase of MagnaChip common stock that took place during the period between July 29, 2013 and August 6, 2013, inclusive, will be deemed eligible for treatment as a Section 20A claim, and consequently will be calculated differently than other purchases.

The “90-day look back” provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PSLRA”) is incorporated into the calculation of the Recognized Loss for MagnaChip Securities. The limitations on the calculation of the Recognized Loss imposed by the PSLRA are applied such that losses on MagnaChip Securities purchased during the Class Period and held as of the close of the 90-day period subsequent to the Class Period (the “90-Day Lookback Period”) cannot exceed the difference between the purchase price paid for such securities and the average price of the MagnaChip Securities during the 90-Day Lookback Period. The Recognized Loss on MagnaChip Securities purchased during the Class Period and sold during the 90-Day Lookback Period cannot exceed the difference between the

2 If the price inflation reflected in Table 1 exceeds the purchase price paid for a MagnaChip Security, then the price inflation shall be equal to the purchase price paid for such security, excluding all fees, taxes and commissions. 3 Any transactions in MagnaChip Securities executed outside of regular trading hours for the U.S. financial markets shall be deemed to have occurred during the next regular trading session.

purchase price paid for such securities and the rolling average price of the MagnaChip Securities during the portion of the 90-Day Lookback Period elapsed as of the date of sale as provided in Table 2 below.

In the calculations below, all purchase and sale prices shall exclude any fees, taxes and

commissions. If a Recognized Loss amount is calculated to be a negative number, that Recognized Loss shall be set to zero.

Calculation of Recognized Loss Per Share For All Purchases Except Those Made Between July 29, 2013 through August 6, 2013, Inclusive

For each MagnaChip Security purchased or otherwise acquired during the Class Period (i.e., February 1, 2012 through March 11, 2014, inclusive), the Recognized Loss per security shall be calculated as follows:


8

i. For each MagnaChip Security purchased during the Class Period that was sold prior to January 28, 2014, the Recognized Loss per security is $0.

ii. For each MagnaChip Security purchased during the Class Period that was subsequently sold during the period January 28, 2014 through March 11, 2014, inclusive, the Recognized Loss per security is the lesser of:

a. the amount of per-security price inflation on the date of purchase as appears in Table 1 above, minus the amount of per-security price inflation on the date of sale as appears in Table 1 above; or

b. the purchase price minus the sale price.

iii. For each MagnaChip Security purchased during the Class Period that was subsequently sold during the period March 12, 2014 through June 9, 2014, inclusive (i.e., the 90-Day Lookback Period), the Recognized Loss per security is the lesser of:

a. the amount of per-security price inflation on the date of purchase as appears in Table 1 above; or

b. the purchase price minus the sale price; or

c. the purchase price minus the “90-Day Lookback Value” on the date of sale provided in Table 2 above.

iv. For each MagnaChip Security purchased during the Class Period and still held as of the close of trading on June 9, 2014, the Recognized Loss per security is the lesser of:


b. the purchase price minus the average closing price for MagnaChip Securities during the 90-Day Lookback Period, which is $13.68.

Calculation of Recognized Loss Per Share For All Purchases Made Between July 29, 2013 through August 6, 2013, Inclusive

For each MagnaChip Security purchased or otherwise acquired during the period July 29, 2013

through August 6, 2013, inclusive, the Recognized Loss per security shall be calculated as follows:

i. For each MagnaChip Security purchased during the period July 29, 2013 through August 6, 2013, inclusive, that was subsequently sold prior to March 12, 2014, the Recognized Loss per security is the lesser of:


b. the purchase price minus the sale price.


9

ii. For each MagnaChip Security purchased during the period July 29, 2013 through August 6, 2013, inclusive, that was subsequently sold during the period March 12, 2014 through June 9, 2014, inclusive (i.e., the 90-Day Lookback Period), the Recognized Loss per security is the lesser of:


b. the purchase price minus the sale price; or

c. the purchase price minus the “90-Day Lookback Mean Trading Price” on the date of sale as appears in Table 2 above.

iii. For each MagnaChip Security purchased during the period July 29, 2013 through August 6, 2013, inclusive, that was still held as of the close of trading on June 9, 2014, the Recognized Loss per security is the lesser of:


b. the purchase price minus the average closing price for MagnaChip Securities during the 90-Day Lookback Period, which is $13.68.

INSTRUCTIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL CLAIMANTS

The payment you receive will reflect your proportionate share of the Net Settlement Fund. Such payment will depend on the number of eligible securities that participate in the Settlement, and when those securities were purchased and sold. The number of claimants who send in claims varies widely from case to case.

A purchase or sale of MagnaChip Securities shall be deemed to have occurred on the “contract” or “trade” date as opposed to the “settlement” or “payment” date.

Acquisition by Gift, Inheritance, or Operation of Law: If a Class Member acquired MagnaChip Securities during the Class Period by way of gift, inheritance or operation of law, such a claim will be computed by using the date and price of the original purchase and not the date and price of transfer. To the extent that MagnaChip Securities were originally purchased prior to commencement of the Class Period, the Recognized Loss for that acquisition shall be deemed to be zero ($0.00).

Notwithstanding any of the above, receipt of MagnaChip Securities during the Class Period in exchange for securities of any other corporation or entity shall not be deemed a purchase or sale of MagnaChip Securities.

The first-in-first-out (“FIFO”) basis will be applied to purchases and sales. Sales will be matched in chronological order by trade date, first against MagnaChip Securities held as of the close of trading on January 31, 2012 (the last day before the Class Period begins) and then against the purchases of MagnaChip Securities during the Class Period.


10

The date of covering a “short sale” is deemed to be the date of purchase of shares. The date of a “short sale” is deemed to be the date of sale of shares. In accordance with the Plan of Allocation, however, the Recognized Loss on “short sales” is zero. In the event that a claimant has an opening short position in MagnaChip common stock, the earliest Class Period purchases shall be matched against such opening short position and not be entitled to a recovery until that short position is fully covered.

With respect to MagnaChip common stock purchased or sold through the exercise of an option, the purchase/sale date of the stock shall be the exercise date of the option and the purchase/sale price of the stock shall be the closing price of MagnaChip common stock on the date of exercise. Any Recognized Loss arising from purchases of MagnaChip common stock acquired during the Class Period through the exercise of an option on MagnaChip common stock4

shall be computed as provided for other purchases of MagnaChip Securities in the Plan of Allocation.

Payment according to the Plan of Allocation will be deemed conclusive against all Authorized Claimants. A Recognized Loss will be calculated as defined herein and cannot be less than zero. The Claims Administrator shall allocate to each Authorized Claimant a pro rata share of the Net Settlement Fund based on his, her, or its Recognized Loss as compared to the total Recognized Losses of all Authorized Claimants (see the Plan of Allocation at pp. 5-9 for additional details). No distribution will be made to Authorized Claimants who would otherwise receive a distribution of less than $10.00.

Class Members who already submitted a valid Proof of Claim to the Claims Administrator in connection with the previous settlement in this Action should not submit one now. The Claims Administrator will use the information already on file to ascertain your eligibility for this Settlement.

Class Members who did not submit a valid Proof of Claim to the Claims Administrator in connection with the previous settlement must submit acceptable Proofs of Claim in connection with this Settlement in order to share in the Settlement proceeds.

Regardless of whether a Proof of Claim was (or is now) submitted, the Settlement and the Final Judgment and Order of Dismissal with Prejudice dismissing this Action will nevertheless bind Class Members who do not submit a valid request for exclusion.

Please contact the Claims Administrator or Class Counsel if you disagree with any determinations made by the Claims Administrator regarding your Proof of Claim. If you are unsatisfied with the determinations, you may ask the Court, which retains jurisdiction over all Class Members and the claims-administration process, to decide the issue by submitting a written request.

Avenue Capital, its respective counsel, and all other Released Persons will have no responsibility or liability whatsoever for the investment of the Settlement Fund, the distribution of the Net Settlement Fund, the Plan of Allocation, or the payment of any claim. Plaintiffs and Class Counsel, likewise, will have no liability for their reasonable efforts to execute, administer, and distribute the Settlement.

4 Including (1) purchases of MagnaChip common stock as the result of the exercise of a call option, and (2) purchases of MagnaChip common stock by the seller of a put option as a result of the buyer of such put option exercising that put option.


11

Distributions will be made to Authorized Claimants after all claims have been processed and after the Court has finally approved the Settlement. If any funds remain in the Net Settlement Fund by reason of uncashed distribution checks or otherwise, then, after the Claims Administrator has made reasonable and diligent efforts to have Class Members who are entitled to participate in the distribution of the Net Settlement Fund cash their distributions, any balance remaining in the Net Settlement Fund at least six (6) months after the initial distribution of such funds will be used in the following fashion: (a) first, to pay any amounts mistakenly omitted from the initial disbursement; (b) second, to pay any additional settlement administration fees, costs, and expenses, including those of Class Counsel as may be approved by the Court; and (c) finally, to make a second distribution to claimants who cashed their checks from the initial distribution and who would receive at least $10.00, after payment of the estimated costs, expenses, or fees to be incurred in administering the Net Settlement Fund and in making this second distribution, if such second distribution is economically feasible. These redistributions shall be repeated, if economically feasible, until the balance remaining in the Net Settlement Fund is de minimis, and such remaining balance will then be distributed in equal amounts to Bay Area Legal Aid and to the Institute of Law and Economic Policy, a non-sectarian, not-for-profit organization identified by Class Counsel and approved by the Court.

INSTRUCTIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL CLAIMANTS 8. How can I get a payment?

If you already sent in a Proof of Claim in connection with the previous settlement in this Action, you need not take any action in order to qualify to receive a payment. Otherwise, to qualify for a payment, you must send in a form entitled “Proof of Claim and Release”. This claim form is attached to this Notice. You may also obtain a claim form on the Internet at www.strategicclaims.net/MagnaChip. Read the instructions carefully, fill out the form, sign it in the location indicated, and mail the claim form together with all documentation requested in the form, postmarked no later than _______________, 2017, to:

MagnaChip Semiconductor Corp. Securities Litigation c/o Strategic Claims Services

Claims Administrator P.O. Box 230

600 North Jackson Street – Suite 3 Media, PA 19063

The Claims Administrator will process your claim and determine whether you are an “Authorized Claimant.”

9. What am I giving up to get a payment or stay in the Class?

Unless you exclude yourself, you will remain in the Class. That means that if the Settlement is approved, you and all Class Members will release all “Released Claims” (and therefore agree never to sue, continue to sue, or be part of any other lawsuit) against the “Released Persons.”

a. The Released Claims are any and all claims, rights, demands, obligations, damages, actions or causes of action, or liabilities whatsoever, of every nature and description, whether known or unknown, whether arising under federal, state, common or foreign law or regulation, that arise out of or relate in any way to the purchase or sale of


12

MagnaChip securities during the Class Period and the acts, facts, statements, or omissions that were or could have been alleged or asserted by Plaintiffs or any member of the Class in the Action or in any other action in any court or, including Unknown Claims, except that expressly excluded from the definition of Released Claims are: (i) all claims of any Person who submits a request for exclusion from the Settlement, to the extent that the Court grants any such request; and (ii) all claims to enforce any of the terms of this Stipulation.

b. The Released Persons are Avenue Capital, its present and former parents, subsidiaries, divisions, departments, affiliates (including any investment funds it manages), stockholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, and any of their advisors, counsel, underwriters, representatives (and the predecessors, successors, insurers, administrators and assigns of each of the foregoing).

You do not release the Released Persons from any claim or action to enforce the Settlement. Remaining in the Class also means that all of the Court's orders will apply to you and legally bind you. By remaining in the Class, you are agreeing to a “Release of Claims,” which will bar you from ever filing a lawsuit against any Released Person concerning a Released Claim.

10. How do I get out of the Settlement?

If you do not want to receive a payment from this Settlement, and you want to keep any right you may have to sue or continue to sue Avenue Capital on your own based on the legal claims raised in this Action, then you must take steps to get out of the Settlement. This is called excluding yourself from – or “opting out” of – the Settlement. To exclude yourself from the Settlement, you must mail a letter stating you want to be excluded as a Class Member from Thomas, et al. v. MagnaChip Semiconductor Corp., et al., Case No. 3:14-CV-01160-JST (N.D. Cal.). Be sure to include your name, address, telephone number and your signature, along with an accurate list of all of your purchases and sales of MagnaChip Securities. You must mail your exclusion request to the Claims Administrator at the address below so that it is received no later than ___________________ 2017:




You cannot exclude yourself by telephone or by e-mail. If you ask to be excluded, you will not receive a settlement payment, and you cannot object to the Settlement. If you ask to be excluded, you will not be legally bound by anything that happens in this Action.

11. If I do not exclude myself, can I sue Avenue Capital for the same thing later?

No. Unless you exclude yourself, you give up any right to sue Avenue Capital or any of the Released Persons for the Released Claims that this Settlement resolves. If you have a pending


13

lawsuit, speak to your lawyer in that case immediately, since you may have to exclude yourself from this Class to continue your own lawsuit.

12. Do I have a lawyer in this case? The Court appointed the law firms of Pomerantz and Rosen to represent you and the Class Members. If you want to be represented by your own lawyer, you may hire one at your own expense. Contact information for Class Counsel is provided below: Patrick V. Dahlstrom Joshua B. Silverman Pomerantz LLP 10 South LaSalle, Suite 3505 Chicago, IL 60603 Tel: 312-377-1181 [email protected] [email protected] and Laurence M. Rosen Jonathan Stern The Rosen Law Firm, P.A. 275 Madison Avenue, 34th Floor New York, NY 10016 [email protected] [email protected]

13. How will the lawyers be paid?

Class Counsel have prosecuted this Action on a contingent fee basis and have paid for all of the expenses of the litigation themselves. Class Counsel have done so with the expectation that if they are successful in recovering money for the Class for the claims against Avenue Capital, they will receive attorneys’ fees and be reimbursed for their litigation expenses from the Gross Settlement Fund, as is customary in this type of litigation. Class Counsel will not receive attorneys’ fees or be reimbursed for their litigation expenses except from the Gross Settlement Fund. Therefore, Class Counsel will file a motion asking the Court at the Settlement Hearing to make an award of attorneys’ fees in an amount not to exceed 25% of the value of the Gross Settlement Fund, and for an award of reasonable litigation expenses not to exceed $______________, and may also seek an Award to Plaintiffs not to exceed $2,000 each. The Court may award less than these amounts. Any amounts awarded by the Court will come out of the Gross Settlement Fund.

14. How do I tell the Court that I do not like the Settlement, the Plan of Allocation, the Request

For Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses, or the Award to Plaintiffs? You can ask the Court to deny approval by filing an objection. You can’t ask the Court to order a larger settlement; the Court can only approve or deny the Settlement. If the Court denies


14

approval, no Settlement payments will be sent out and the lawsuit will continue. If that is what you want to happen, you must object. You may object to the proposed Settlement in writing. You may also appear at the Final Approval Hearing, either in person or through your own attorney. If you appear through your own attorney, you are responsible for paying that attorney. All written objections and supporting papers must (a) clearly identify the case name and number (Thomas, et al. v. MagnaChip Semiconductor Corp., et al., Case No. 3:14-CV-01160-JST (N.D. Cal.)); (b) be submitted to the Court either by mailing them to the Class Action Clerk, United States District Court for the Northern District of California, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102, or by filing them in person at any location of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California; and (c) be filed or postmarked on or before _________________.”

15. What is the difference between objecting and requesting exclusion? Objecting is simply telling the Court you do not like something about the Settlement. You can object only if you stay in the Class. Requesting exclusion is telling the Court you do not want to be part of the Class and Settlement. If you exclude yourself, you cannot object to the Settlement because it no longer concerns you. If you stay in the Class and object, but your objection is overruled, you will not be allowed a second opportunity to exclude yourself.

16. When and where will the Court decide whether to approve the Settlement?

The Court will hold a Settlement Hearing on __________________, 2017 at 2:00 p.m., in Courtroom 9 at the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102. At this hearing, the Court will consider (i) whether the Settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate, and should be approved by the Court; (ii) whether the Order and Final Judgment as provided under the Stipulation should be entered, dismissing the Complaint on the merits and with prejudice, and to determine whether the release by the Class of the Released Persons as set forth in the Stipulation, should be ordered, along with a permanent injunction barring efforts to bring any Released Claims extinguished by the Settlement; (iii) whether the proposed Plan of Allocation for the distribution of the Net Settlement Fund is fair and reasonable and should be approved by the Court; (iv) the application of Class Counsel for an award of Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses, and for an Award to Plaintiffs; (v) Class Members’ objections to the Settlement, whether submitted previously in writing or presented orally at the Settlement Hearing by Class Members (or by counsel on their behalf); and (vi) such other matters as the Court may deem appropriate.

On the ____ day of ____, 20__, a hearing having been held before this Court to

Agreement of Settlement dated June 14, 2017 (the “Stipulation”) are fair, reasonable, and

adequate for the settlement of all claims asserted by the Class previously certified by this Court

on December 22, 2016 against Settling Defendant Avenue Capital Management II, L.P. and (2)

whether to approve the proposed Plan of Allocation as a fair and reasonable method to allocate

the Net Settlement Fund among the Class Members; and

The Court having considered all matters submitted to it at the hearing and otherwise; and

It appearing that the Notice substantially in the form approved by the Court in the Court’s

Order Preliminarily Approving Settlement and Providing For Notice (“Preliminary Approval

Order”) was mailed to all reasonably identifiable potential Class Members; and

It appearing that the Summary Notice substantially in the form approved by the Court in

the Preliminary Approval Order was published in accordance with the Preliminary Approval

Order and the specifications of the Court;

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUGED AND DECREED

THAT:

1. Unless indicated otherwise, capitalized terms used herein have the same meanings

defined in the Stipulation.

2. The Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of the Action, Plaintiffs, all

Class Members, and the Settling Defendant.

3. Excluded from the Class are all current and former defendants, Avenue Capital’s

present and former parents, subsidiaries, divisions, departments, affiliates (including any

investment funds it manages), stockholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, and any of

their advisors, counsel, underwriters, representatives (and the predecessors, successors, insurers,

administrators and assigns of each of the foregoing), MagnaChip’s officers and directors during

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Section 21D(a)(7) of the Exchange Act, 15 U.S.C. § 78u-

4(a)(7), as amended by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995; constituted the best

notice practicable under the circumstances; and constituted due and sufficient notice to all

persons and entities entitled thereto of these proceedings and the matters set forth herein,

including the Settlement and Plan of Allocation, to all Persons entitled to such notice. No Class

Member is relieved from the terms of the Settlement, including the releases provided for therein,

based upon the contention or proof that such Class Member failed to receive actual or adequate

notice. A full opportunity has been offered to Class Members to object to the proposed

Settlement and to participate in the hearing thereon. The Court further finds that the notice

provisions of the Class Action Fairness Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1715, were fully discharged and that the

statutory waiting period has elapsed. Thus, it is hereby determined that all members of the Class

are bound by this Order and Final Judgment, except those persons listed on Exhibit A to this

interests of the Class. Plaintiffs and the Settling Defendant are directed to consummate the

Stipulation. For purposes of this Order and Final Judgment:

and the acts, facts, statements, or omissions that were or could have been

alleged or asserted by Plaintiffs or any member of the Class in the Action or in

any other action in any court or, including Unknown Claims, except that

assigns, hereby releases and forever discharges any and all Released Defendant’s Claims, to the

including Class Counsel. For purposes of this Order and Final Judgment:

Persons or the successors and assigns of any of them, against any of the

Claims, including but not limited to all claims for malicious prosecution or

sanctions. “Released Defendant’s Claims” does not include claims to enforce

any of the terms of this Stipulation. “Released Defendant’s Claims” does not

extinguished, discharged, satisfied, and unenforceable. If any term of this Bar Order is held to be

a. “Barred Claim” means any claim, if any, however styled, whether for

indemnification, contribution, or otherwise and whether arising under state,

federal or common law, against the Released Persons (including claims

asserted by Released Persons against other Released Persons) where the claim

from that Person’s alleged liability to the Class or any Class Member,

including any claim in which a Person seeks to recover from any of the

Released Persons (i) any amounts such person or entity has or might become

liable to pay to the Class or any Class Member and/or (ii) any costs, expenses,

or attorneys’ fees from defending any claim by the Class or any Class

Member.

9. Notwithstanding the foregoing Paragraph 8, nothing in this Order and Final

Judgment:

a. will bar the Released Persons from pursuing claims that are outside the scope

of or independent of the Released Claims, including but not limited to any

claim that any Released Person may have for indemnification related to costs

and expenses incurred in responding to discovery requests in the Action;

b. will bar or constitute a release of any claim by any of the Released Persons for

insurance or reinsurance coverage arising out of, related to, or in connection

with this Action or the Released Claims; or

calendar days following the entry of this Order. Class Counsel shall thereafter be solely

responsible for allocating the Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses among other Plaintiffs’ Counsel in a

manner in which Class Counsel in good faith believe reflects the contributions of such counsel to

the initiation, prosecution, and resolution of the Action. If, and when, as a result of any appeal

and/or further proceedings on remand, or successful collateral attack, the foregoing Attorneys’

Fees and Expense award is overturned or lowered, or if the Settlement is terminated or is not

approved by the Court, or if there is an appeal and any order approving the Settlement does not

become Final and binding upon the Class, then, within thirty (30) business days after receiving

notice from Settling Defendant’s Counsel of such an order from a court of appropriate

jurisdiction, each Plaintiffs’ Counsel law firm shall refund to the Gross Settlement Fund such

fees and expenses previously paid to them from the Gross Settlement Fund plus interest thereon

at the same rate as earned on the Gross Settlement Fund in an amount consistent with such

reversal or modification. Each Plaintiffs’ Counsel law firm receiving attorneys’ fees and

litigation costs and expenses, as a condition of receiving such fees and expenses, on behalf of

itself and each partner and/or shareholder of it, (including the law firm and its partners and/or

shareholders) shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Court for the purpose of enforcing this

Stipulation, and each shall be liable for repayment of the attorneys’ fees and litigation costs and

expenses allocated to it, including all amounts paid as referral fees to other law firms, as well as

accrued interest thereon. Upon application of Avenue Capital or its Counsel, the Court may

summarily issue orders, including, without limitation, judgments and attachment orders and may

make appropriate findings of or sanctions for contempt against any of Plaintiffs’ Counsel law

firm or any of its partners and/or shareholders should such Plaintiffs’ Counsel law firm fail

timely to repay fees and expenses pursuant to this Paragraph 11.

11. Class Representatives are awarded the sum of $______________ each, as

reasonable costs and expenses directly relating to the representation of the Class as provided in

15 U.S.C. § 78u-4(a)(4), such amounts to be paid from the Gross Settlement Fund upon the

Effective Date of the Settlement.

12. The Court hereby finds that the proposed Plan of Allocation is a fair and

reasonable method to allocate the Net Settlement Fund among Class Members.

13. The Court finds that all parties and their counsel have complied with each

requirement of Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure as to all proceedings herein.

Understanding between the Settling Parties dated May 12, 2017 (the “MOU”), nor any of the

negotiations, documents or proceedings connected with them shall be:

presumption against the Class or any of them, that any of their claims are
