<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 14pt; margin-top: 18pt"><B>TSMC Reports First Quarter EPS of NT$0.06</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Hsin-Chu, Taiwan, R.O.C., April&nbsp;30, 2009 &#151; </B>TSMC today announced consolidated revenue of NT$39.5
billion, net income of NT$1.56&nbsp;billion, and diluted earnings per share of NT$0.06 (US$0.01 per ADS
unit) for the first quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2009.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Year-over-year, first quarter revenue decreased 54.8% while net income and diluted EPS decreased
94.5% and 94.4%, respectively. Compared to fourth quarter of 2008, first quarter results represent
a 38.8% decrease in revenue, and a decrease of 87.5% in net income and in diluted EPS. All figures
were prepared in accordance with R.O.C. GAAP on a consolidated basis.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As a result of deepening economic recession worldwide and customers&#146; inventory adjustment, first
quarter saw a sharp decline in the demand for semiconductors across all applications. Gross margin
for the quarter was 18.9%, operating margin was 3.1%, and net margin was 3.9%.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Advanced process technologies (0.13-micron and below) accounted for 65% of wafer revenues with
90-nanometer process technology accounting for 25%, 65-nanometer 23%, and 45/40 nanometer reaching
1% of total wafer sales.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;Although global economic conditions continue to decline, a few signs of economic stabilization
began to emerge. Consumption of electronics in the last two quarters exceeded production and
surpassed semiconductor companies&#146; low expectations. Meanwhile, companies began to launch new
products, while China started implementing various stimulus programs. The dynamic has resulted in
a substantial increase in order levels. After sharp declines in two consecutive quarters, TSMC is
seeing a strong rebound in its second quarter business and believes overall business in the second
half of 2009 will be considerably better than that of the first half,&#148; said Lora Ho, VP and Chief
Financial Officer of TSMC. &#147;Based on our current business outlook, management expects overall
performance for second quarter 2009 to be as follows&#148;:
