Dividend Policy
TSMC’s profits may be distributed by way of cash dividend and/or stock dividend. The preferred method of distributing profits is by way of an annual cash dividend. Under TSMC’s Articles of Incorporation, stock dividends shall not exceed 50% of the total dividend distribution in any given fiscal year. TSMC does not pay dividends when there is no profit or retained earnings.
Distribution of Profit
The Board adopted a proposal for 2012 profit distribution at its Meeting on February 5, 2013. The proposal will be effected according to the relevant regulations, upon the approval of shareholders at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on June 11, 2013.
In addition, according to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, TSMC shall allocate no more than 0.3% of earnings available for distribution (net income after a regulatory required deduction for prior years’ losses and contributions to legal and special reserves) as compensation to directors, and not less than 1% as a bonus to employees. Profit sharing to employees, to be distributed after the 2013 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, was recorded as a charge to earnings of proximately 6.7% of net income in year 2012; compensation to directors were expensed based on estimated amount of payment. The proposal will be effected according to the relevant regulations, upon the approval of shareholders at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on June 11, 2013. If the actual amounts subsequently resolved by the shareholders differ from the above estimated amounts, the differences will be recorded in the year of shareholders’ resolution as a change in accounting estimate.
