Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein is financial information for MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020, as presented in a press release dated July 30, 2020.
The information disclosed under this Item 2.02, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing made under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On July 20, 2020, MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation’s Fab 3 facility in Gumi, South Korea experienced a temporary power outage for approximately 9 hours and 15 minutes as a result of an accident involving branches of a nearby tree falling onto cables connecting one of the electricity pylons that supplies power to the Gumi plant. We are nearly fully operational in our Fab 3 facility as of the date of this report. The accident caused damage to our work-in-process wafers with an estimated total cost of up to approximately $2.3 million. The related impact to our revenue from continuing operations is expected to be negligible. We are currently evaluating potential insurance and other claims that we may have for the above loss and damages.
