The investigation focuses on whether MagnaChip and its executives violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose that the Company had improperly recognized revenues, resulting in the overstatement of revenues and earnings.

On February 12, 2015, the Company filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, restating its financial results for fiscal years 2011, 2012, and the first three quarters of 2013. On April 1, 2015, the Company received notice from the New York Stock Exchange that it is no longer compliant with listing requirements.

Controlling shareholder Avenue Capital Management II, L.P. was able to sell more than 16.1 million shares in secondary stock offerings for $232.675 million in gross proceeds during the subsequently restated period.
