Dear Mr. Buchmiller:

This letter is submitted on behalf of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC (the “Company”) in response to the comments that you provided on behalf of the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with respect to Amendment No. 6 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed October 4, 2010 under Registration No. 333-165467 (the “Registration Statement”), as set forth in your letter to Mr. John McFarland dated October 29, 2010. The Company is filing via EDGAR Amendment No. 7 to the Registration Statement (“Amendment No. 7”) in response to the Staff’s comments. For reference purposes, the text of your letter dated October 29, 2010 has been reproduced herein (in bold), with the Company’s response below each numbered comment. As appropriate, the Company’s responses include a reference to the section and page numbers of Amendment No. 7 that have been revised in response to the comment.

General

 

1. We note that you registered the offering of guarantees of securities on registration statements 333-168790-09 and 333-168516-09. Please tell us how you will address these offerings upon the “Corporate Conversion” mentioned in your document.

Response: The Company notes the Staff’s comment. The Company, a Delaware limited liability company, will be statutorily converted (the “Corporate Conversion”) into MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“MagnaChip Corporation”), pursuant to Title 8, Section 265 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) and Title 6, Section 18-216 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “DE LLC Act”). Section 265(f) of the DGCL provides that “[w]hen an other entity has been converted to a corporation of this State pursuant to this section, the corporation of this State shall, for all purposes of the laws of the State of Delaware, be deemed to be the same entity as the converting other entity.” Section 18-216(c) of the DE LLC Act provides that “[w]hen a limited liability company has converted to another entity or business form pursuant to this section, for all purposes of the laws of the State of

Delaware, the other entity or business form shall be deemed to be the same entity as the converting limited liability company and the conversion shall constitute a continuation of the existence of the limited liability company in the form of such other entity or business form.”

Upon completion of the Corporate Conversion, the Company will file a report on Form 8-K to notify the SEC and bondholders of the Corporate Conversion. As the Company will be deemed to be the same entity as MagnaChip Corporation under the laws of Delaware, the guarantee will be unaffected by the Corporate Conversion and will continue in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing such guarantee as described in the above-referenced registration statements.
