3. Please expand your revisions added in res ponse to prior comment 11 to clarify what “market conditions” and what about your “capital structure” led you to conduct the notes offering. It is unclear how the reas ons you cite relate to your decision to offer and sell the notes, given the “principal purpose” of the offering, the terms of the notes as compared to your term loan and the impact it had on the amount of your debt outstanding. Also, please clarify the rationale for the distribution to your unitholde rs given your indebtedness prior to the note offering and your recent bankruptcy proceeding. Customers, page 113

4. Please expand your revisions added in response to prior comment 13 to disclose the percentage of sales by your Display Solutions segment attributable to LG Display. See Item 101(c)(1)( vii) of Regulation S-K. Exhibit 1.1

5. Please file an updated version of this e xhibit that reflects changes you make to your registration statement. We note, for example, the blank spaces in Schedule II. When you file that updated version, please also include all missing or blank attachments, including Schedule IV(b), Annex I(a)-(d), Annex II and Annex III. Exhibits 5.1 and 8.1

6. The opinion you file pursuant to Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K should not assume any material facts underlying the opinion. We note, for example, that counsel appears to assume in each of the first three paragraphs that the conversion of MagnaChip Semiconductor LLC into MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation will occur. Please file a revised opin ion prior to requesting acceleration of effectiveness of the registration statement that does not assume that the corporate conversion has taken place. 7. With reference to the assumptions that appear in the last two sentence of the second paragraph on page 1, it is inappropriate to shift the burden of these factual matters to investors when those matters could be readily obtained through an officers' certificate. Please revise. 8. With respect to the opinion expressed in clause (iii) of th e last paragraph on page 1, please file an opinion which also opines that the Deposit Agreement is a legal, binding obligation of the registrant . Since the Depositary Shares are being issued pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, and the Depositary is also a necessary

Refer to the first paragraph on page 2. The opinion you file pursuant to Item 601(b)(8) of Regulation S-K must include counsel’s opinion regarding material tax consequences. Your curr ent opinion appears to only opine that disclosure is an “accurate summary,” not th at the disclosure is counsel’s opinion. Please file a revised opinion. Ensure th at such opinion addresses each discussion of the tax matters being opined upon. We note, for example, that this exhibit does not include the tax discussion menti oned in the risk factor on page 33. 10. In view of the statement that the opinion is rendered “as of the date hereof” and disclaimer regarding subsequent changes to law or fact, please file a revised opinion on the date you expect th is registration statement to be declared effective. Alternatively, file a revised opinion without the disclaimer.
