Dividend Policy and Distribution of Earnings

TSMC does not pay dividends when there are no profits or retained earnings. TSMC has distributed cash dividends every year to its shareholders since 2004. TSMC intends to maintain a stable and sustainable dividend policy, and will consider raising dividends when the free cash flow is sufficient to cover the previous level of dividend payment and any debt repayment. On February14, 2017, TSMC’s Board of Directors adopted a proposal recommending distribution of a cash dividend of NT$7 per share as shown in the table below. The proposal will be implemented according to the relevant regulations, upon the approval of shareholders at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on June 8, 2017.

Compensation to Directors and Profit Sharing Bonus to Employees

Based on TSMC’s Articles of Incorporation, before paying dividends or bonuses to shareholders, TSMC shall set aside not more than 0.3% of its annual profit to directors as compensation, and not less than 1% to employees as profit sharing bonus. As resolved by TSMC’s Board of Directors on February 14, 2017, a profit sharing bonus to employees was expensed based on a certain percentage of 2016 profit; compensation to directors was expensed based on the estimated amount of payment. If the actual amounts subsequently paid differ from the above estimated amounts, the differences will be recorded in the year paid as a change in accounting estimate.
