Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 18, 2026, Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a privately negotiated Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Navitas Semiconductor Corporation (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Purchaser 1,461,988 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a purchase price of $3.42 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000.
The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is expected to occur on or about September 24, 2026 subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the applicable closing conditions. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions.
The Purchase Agreement also provides that the Company will file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), no later than 30 days after the closing, a registration statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issued in the transaction. The Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective within 60 days following the closing or 90 days following closing if the SEC reviews the registration statement, or, if earlier, by the fifth (5th) business day after the SEC notifies the Company that the registration statement will not be reviewed or is no longer subject to further review and comments.
The shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and will be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration requirements thereof provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Company relied on these exemptions from registration based in part on representations made by the Purchaser.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, which were made only for purposes of the Purchase Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference. The shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued and sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and will be issued and sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
Neither this Current Report on Form 8-K nor the exhibits attached hereto is an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy shares of Common Stock of the Company.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On September 21, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the closing of a private placement for $5,000,000. A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information contained in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purpose of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated by reference.

The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares as principal for its own account and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Shares. The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. The Purchaser was made aware of the offering of Shares by this Agreement solely by means of private communications directly with officers and directors of the Company and not by way of advertising or any other public filing or other communication of the Company or by general solicitation.
(c) Purchaser Status. At the time the Purchaser was offered the Shares, it was, and as of the Execution Date it is, it will be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7), (a)(8), (a)(9), (a)(12), or (a)(13) under the Securities Act.
(d) Experience of the Purchaser. The Purchaser has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Shares, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(e) Access to Information. The Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review this Agreement (including all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded, (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.
(f) Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, the Purchaser has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with the Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that the Purchaser first received (written or oral), from the Company or any other Person representing the Company, the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement or to the Purchaser’s representatives, including, without limitation, its officers, directors, partners, legal and other advisors, employees, agents and Affiliates, the Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).
9
(g) Non-Public Information. The Purchaser hereby represents that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf has received or had access to information that constitutes, or the Company reasonably believes constitutes, material non-public information, unless prior thereto the Purchaser shall have consented in writing to the receipt of such information and agreed in writing with the Company to keep such information confidential.
(h) Investment Purpose; Investment Experience. The Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for its own account and not with a present view toward the public distribution thereof and has no arrangement or understanding with any other Persons regarding the distribution of the Shares. The Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the Shares except in accordance with the Securities Act and to the extent permitted by this Agreement. The Purchaser has conducted its own due diligence on the Company to its satisfaction and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares to be purchased hereunder.
(i) Reliance on Exemptions. The Purchaser has not taken any of the actions set forth in, and is not subject to, the disqualification provisions of Rule 506(d)(1) under the Securities Act and did not learn of the investment in the Shares as a result of any public offering, general solicitation or advertising. The Purchaser understands that the Company intends for the Shares to be offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser set forth herein (including in this Section 3.2(i)) in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire the Shares.
(j) Governmental Review. The Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other Governmental Authority has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares or an investment therein.
ARTICLE IV.
COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Market Listing. From the Execution Date through the Closing, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) maintain the listing and trading of the Common Stock on the NYSE and (b) effect the listing of the Shares on the NYSE.
4.2 Reservation of Common Stock. As of the Execution Date, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue Shares pursuant to this Agreement.
4.3 Transfer or Resale. The Purchaser understands that:
(a) the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws and, consequently, the Purchaser may have to bear the risk of owning the Shares for an indefinite period of time because the Shares may not be transferred unless (i) the resale of the Shares is registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; (ii) the Purchaser has delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel (in form,
10
substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the Shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration; or (iii) the Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 (provided, that the Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurances (including in the form of seller and broker representation letters) that the Shares may be sold pursuant to such rule).
(b) any sale of the Shares made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Shares under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act.
(c) For as long as the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates beneficially owns any Shares, to the extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange Act, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act (including reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144), and shall use reasonable efforts to take such further necessary action as the Purchaser may reasonably request in connection with the removal of any restrictive legend on the Shares being sold, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Purchaser to sell the Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144, subject in all cases to compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable laws and upon receipt of customary seller and broker representation letters as the Company and its counsel may reasonably request.
4.4 Legends. The Purchaser understands that the Shares will bear restrictive legends in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the Shares):
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO MAGNACHIP SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION) THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OF THE SECURITIES ACT.
If such Shares are transferred pursuant to Section 4.3 of this Agreement, or are to be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement covering the resale of such Shares (including pursuant to Section 4.6), the Purchaser may request that the Company remove, and if so requested, the Company shall agree to authorize and instruct (including by causing any required legal opinion to be provided) the removal of any legend from the Shares upon a sale or other Disposition, if permitted by applicable securities law, within three (3) Business Days of any such request; provided, however, each Party will be responsible for any fees it incurs in connection with such request and removal; provided, further, that such legends may only be removed in connection with a sale pursuant to Rule 144 or (y) a sale pursuant to an effective registration statement covering the resale of such Shares, subject to customary Purchaser and/or broker representations that the Shares have been sold pursuant to such registration statement.
4.5 Securities Law Disclosure; Publicity. No public release, public disclosure or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be made by either Party without the consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed);
11
provided, however, that no such consent shall be required for any disclosure that is required by applicable law or regulation, or by the rules or requirements of the Commission or the NYSE.
4.6 Registration Rights.
(a) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC, within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, a registration statement on Form S-3 (or if Form S‑3 is not available for purposes of registering the resale of the Shares, then on another appropriate form) covering the resale of the Shares by the Purchaser (the “Registration Statement”). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, provided, however, that if the Registration Statement is reviewed by the SEC, such period shall be extended to ninety (90) days following the Closing Date; provided, however, that in the event the Company is notified by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be reviewed or is no longer subject to further review and comments, the Company shall request effectiveness of the Registration Statement no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date on which the Company is so notified. The Company’s obligations to include the Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent on the Purchaser furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding the Purchaser, the securities of the Company held by the Purchaser, the intended method of disposition of the Shares (which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings) and such other information as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Shares, and the Purchaser shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the Shares have been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement and (ii) the date on which all of the Shares may be sold by the Purchaser without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
(b) The Company may postpone the filing or effectiveness of the Registration Statement or suspend the use of a prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement for up to 45 consecutive days from the date of the Suspension Notice (as defined below), and no more than 90 days total in any twelve month period, and therefore suspend sales of the Shares thereunder (such period, the “Suspension Period”) by providing written notice to the Purchaser if (A) the Company’s Chief Executive Officer determines in his reasonable good faith judgment that the offer or sale of Shares would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company or any subsidiary to engage in any material acquisition of assets or stock or any material merger, consolidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization, investment, joint venture or other transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (B) the sale of Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement would require disclosure of material non-public information not otherwise required to be disclosed under applicable law, and (C) either (x) the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving the confidentiality of such transaction or (y) disclosure of such material non-public information would have a material adverse effect on the Company or the Company’s ability to consummate such transaction. In the case of an event that causes the Company to suspend the use of the Registration Statement as set forth in this paragraph (b) (a “Suspension Event”), the Company shall give notice to the Purchaser (a “Suspension Notice”) to suspend sales of the Shares and such notice shall state generally the basis for the notice and that such suspension shall continue only for so long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing. If the basis of such suspension is nondisclosure of material non-public information, the Company shall not be required to disclose the subject matter of such material non-public information to the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall not effect any sales of the Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement at any time after the Purchaser has received
12
a Suspension Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice (as defined below). The Purchaser agrees to treat as confidential the receipt of the Suspension Notice and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such Suspension Notice without the prior written consent of the Company or until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by the Purchaser in breach of the terms of this Agreement. The Purchaser may recommence effecting sales of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement following further written notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice shall be given by the Company to the Purchaser promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event.
(c) If: (i) the Registration Statement is not filed within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date or the Company subsequently withdraws the filing of the Registration Statement and does not re-file a Registration Statement within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, (ii) the Company fails to file with the SEC a request for acceleration of the Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act, within five (5) Business Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review, (iii) prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made by the SEC in respect of the Registration Statement within ten (10) calendar days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the SEC that such amendment is required in order for the Registration Statement to be declared effective, (iv) the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC within 120 calendar days after the Closing Date, or (v) after the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to the Shares included in such Registration Statement, or the Purchaser is otherwise not permitted to utilize the prospectus therein to resell the Shares, for more than forty-five (45) consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of ninety (90) calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during any 12-month period (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”, and for purposes of clause (i) the date on which such Event occurs, and for purpose of clause (ii) the date on which such five (5) Business Day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (iii) the date which such ten (10) calendar day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (iv) the date on which such 120 calendar day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (v) fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which such forty-five (45) or ninety (90) calendar day period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred to as “Event Date”), then, in addition to any other rights the Purchaser may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to the Purchaser an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of 1.0% multiplied by the aggregate Purchase Amount paid by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. The Parties agree that the maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to the Purchaser under this Agreement shall be 10% of the aggregate Purchase Amount paid by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within seven days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 10% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Purchaser, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company will not be liable for any liquidated damages (A) set forth in this Section 4.6(c) unless the applicable Event was the result of acts or omissions of the Company within its reasonable control or (B) set forth in Section 4.6(c)(v) during such time
13
as the Company is actively negotiating a material transaction in good faith unless the applicable Event related thereto was the result of negligence or willful misconduct of the Company.

Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (x) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (y) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (z) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel.

SEOUL, South Korea – Sept. 21, 2026 – Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE: MX) (“Magnachip” or the “Company”), a designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal power semiconductor platform solutions, today announced that Navitas Semiconductor Corporation (Nasdaq: NVTS) (“Navitas”) has agreed to make a $5 million strategic equity investment in Magnachip.
Under the terms of a privately negotiated stock purchase agreement, Magnachip will issue and sell 1,461,988 shares of its common stock to Navitas at a purchase price of $3.42 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $5 million. The transaction is expected to close on or about September 24, 2026, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions.
The investment builds on the growing strategic partnership between Magnachip and Navitas following the announcement in July 2026 to accelerate the adoption of silicon carbide technologies in high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage power markets.
Under that partnership, Magnachip is licensing Navitas’ GeneSiC™ Trench-Assisted Planar™ technology covering 1,200 V, 2,300 V, 3,300 V and higher-voltage applications. Magnachip is also gaining access to Navitas’ SiC supply chain and materials ecosystem, with plans to port, qualify and internalize the technology at Magnachip’s fabrication facility in South Korea. The partnership also creates opportunities for broader technology and product collaboration beyond the initial GeneSiC licensing agreement. The companies are initially targeting applications including energy and grid infrastructure, energy storage, industrial electrification, automotive and other high-power systems.
“Navitas’ investment represents an important next step in our strategic partnership and demonstrates a shared commitment to the opportunities we are pursuing together,” said Chae Lee, Chief Executive Officer of Magnachip. “By combining Navitas’ proven GeneSiC technology and materials ecosystem with Magnachip’s power semiconductor expertise, manufacturing capabilities and customer relationships, we believe we can accelerate our entry into attractive high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage markets. More importantly, we believe the combination of Navitas’ SiC technology with Magnachip’s silicon power technologies and manufacturing capabilities creates opportunities to develop a new generation of differentiated power solutions that address emerging customer needs that we believe are not adequately served by products available today. We look forward to deepening our collaboration as we execute our long-term growth strategy.”
“Magnachip is an important strategic partner for Navitas, and this investment reflects our confidence in the relationship and the value we believe the two companies can create together in the years ahead,” said Chris Allexandre, President and Chief Executive Officer of Navitas. “Our initial technology and licensing collaboration established a strong foundation. This investment further aligns our interests and reflects our shared belief that the combination of our complementary technologies can create new opportunities across high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage applications. We look forward to working closely with Magnachip to expand the adoption of advanced GeneSiC technologies and explore opportunities for broader technology and product collaboration.”
Additional information concerning the transaction will be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by Magnachip with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
