PHILADELPHIA, April 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cohen, Placitella and Roth, PC is investigating claims on behalf of investors who purchased MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation ("MagnaChip" or "Company") (NYSE: MX) stock between January 30, 2013 and March 11, 2014, inclusive ("Class Period"). The investigation concerns whether MagnaChip disseminated materially false and/or misleading information to investors in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

On January 27, 2014, MagnaChip announced that it would postpone its fourth quarter 2013 earnings release to provide additional time for MagnaChip to complete a review of its financial results. Following this news, on January 28, 2014, the price of MagnaChip stock dropped over 8% down to $16.16 per share. Then, on March 11, 2014, MagnaChip disclosed that the audit committee of its board of directors had found material weaknesses in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting and other accounting improprieties relating to MagnaChip's recognition of revenue on sales to distributors. The accounting improprieties, the Company disclosed, will force it to restate its financial results for 2011, 2012 and 2013. In response to this further disclosure, MagnaChip's stock dropped another 13% to trade as low as $12.50 per share. In addition, as a direct result of these accounting issues, on March 28, 2014, MagnaChip announced the resignation of the Chief Financial Officer and the postponement of its Annual Investor Conference.
