6. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the date that is 15 days prior
to the expiration of the Company’s advance notice period for the nomination of
directors at the 2017 Annual Meeting, which dates shall only be deemed to refer
to the notice periods as established by the Bylaws and shall not, in any event,
be deemed to refer to the date for submission of stockholder proposals as
established by Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act; provided, however, that if the
2017 Annual Meeting is not held prior to the first anniversary of the 2016
Annual Meeting (the “Outside Date”), then this Agreement shall terminate on the
earlier of (i) April 25, 2017 or (ii) the date that, but for the Company’s
failure to hold the 2017 Annual Meeting by the Outside Date, would have been 15
days prior to the expiration of the Company’s advance notice period for
nomination of directors pursuant to the Company’s Bylaws with respect to the
2017 Annual Meeting had the 2017 Annual Meeting occurred on the Outside Date.

7. Filings and Public Statements. On the date of this Agreement, the Company and
the Engaged Stockholders shall jointly issue a mutually agreeable press release
(the “Press Release”) announcing this Agreement, substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B. Prior to the issuance of the Press Release,
neither the Company nor the Engaged Stockholders shall issue any press release
or public announcement regarding this Agreement or take any action that would
require public disclosure thereof without the prior written consent of the other
Party. No Party or any of its Affiliates shall make any public statement
(including, without limitation, in any filing required under the Exchange Act)
concerning the subject matter of this Agreement inconsistent with the Press
Release. From the date hereof until the Termination Date, no Party shall make
any public announcement or statement that is inconsistent with or contrary to
the statements made in the Press Release, except as required by law or the rules
and regulations of any stock exchange or governmental entity with the prior
written consent of the Engaged Stockholders and the Company, as applicable, and
otherwise in accordance with this Agreement. The Company, with respect to its
Current Report on Form 8-K, and the Engaged Stockholders, with respect to their
amendment to their Schedule 13D, and each in connection with the entrance by the
Parties to this Agreement, will provide the other Party, prior to each such
filing, a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documents, and
each such Party will consider any comments from the other Party in good faith.

8. Specific Performance. Each of the Engaged Stockholders, on the one hand, and
the Company, on the other hand, acknowledges and agrees that irreparable injury
to the other Party hereto would occur in the event any of the provisions of this
Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were
otherwise breached and that such injury would not be adequately compensable by
the remedies available at law (including the payment of money damages). It is
accordingly agreed that each Engaged Stockholder, on the one hand, and the
Company, on the other hand (the “Moving Party”), shall each be entitled to
specific enforcement of, and injunctive relief to prevent any violation of, the
terms hereof, and the other Party hereto will not take action, directly or
indirectly, in opposition to the Moving Party seeking such relief on the grounds
that any other remedy or relief is available at law or in equity. This Section 8
is not the exclusive remedy for any violation of this Agreement.

Company shall reimburse the Engaged Stockholders for the reasonable and
documented legal expenses incurred by the Engaged Stockholders in connection
herewith in an amount not to exceed $25,000.

10. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this
Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or
unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and
restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall
in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. It is hereby stipulated and
declared to be the intention of the Parties that the Parties would have executed
the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including
any of such which may be hereafter declared invalid, void or unenforceable. In
addition, the Parties agree to use their best efforts to agree upon and
substitute a valid and enforceable term, provision, covenant or restriction for
any of such that is held invalid, void or enforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction.

for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy.

6. Waiver. You acknowledge and agree that no failure or delay by the Company in
exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver
thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power, or privilege
hereunder. The agreements set forth herein may only be waived or modified by an
agreement in writing signed on behalf of the parties hereto.

Press Release            

 

 

MagnaChip Reaches Settlement with Engaged Capital, LLC

SEOUL, South Korea and SAN JOSE, Calif., May 27, 2016 — MagnaChip Semiconductor
Corporation (“MagnaChip” or the “Company”) (NYSE: MX), a Korea-based designer
and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products, announced
today that it has entered into a Settlement Agreement with Engaged Capital, LLC
(“Engaged Capital”). Under the terms of the agreement, Camillo Martino and
Melvin L. Keating will immediately join the Company as observers of the
Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). In addition, the Company will
nominate Mr. Martino for election to the Board at the Company’s 2016 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders, together with six of MagnaChip’s incumbent directors,
who will stand for reelection. Immediately after the 2016 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders, the Board will appoint Mr. Keating as a director. Both Messrs.
Martino and Keating will serve on the Board’s Strategic Review Committee upon
becoming members of the Board.

“We welcome the addition of Camillo and Mel to the MagnaChip board. MagnaChip’s
business continues to strengthen and over the last year, we have materially
reduced operating costs and improved fab utilization. The board looks forward to
leveraging both Camillo and Mel’s combined experience managing semiconductor
businesses as we work to continue to enhance the value of MagnaChip for our
shareholders,” stated Doug Norby, Chairman of the Board of MagnaChip
Corporation.

“We were pleased to have been able to continue the constructive interaction we
have enjoyed with the MagnaChip Board over the last year in adding Camillo and
Mel as directors. As strong shareholder advocates and experienced semiconductor
executives and dealmakers, we have confidence Camillio and Mel will work
effectively with the rest of the board to optimize the value of MagnaChip for
shareholders,” said Glenn W. Welling, Founder and CIO of Engaged Capital.

After the appointment of Mr. Keating to the Board following the 2016 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders, the Board will be comprised of eight directors, each of
whom is elected annually, and the Company agreed not to increase the size of the
Board beyond ten directors during the term of the Settlement Agreement. The
Company will present its director nominees in its definitive proxy materials,
which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in due course.
Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Engaged Capital has agreed to withdraw its
notice of intent to nominate directors at the 2016 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders, to vote all of its shares in favor of the Company’s nominees and,
so long as Institutional Shareholder Services concurs, in favor of the Board’s
recommendation related to certain ordinary business presented at the 2016 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders. Engaged Capital has also agreed to a customary
standstill provision.

MagnaChip’s 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders has not yet been scheduled.
MagnaChip stockholders are not required to take any action at this time.
