</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Hsinchu, Taiwan, R.O.C. &#150; June&nbsp;21, 2010 &#151; </B>TSMC (TWSE: 2330, NYSE: TSM) today announced that
the ex-dividend date for TSMC common shares shall be July 6th, 2010. The cash dividend is
NT$2.99973242 for each common share.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The above-mentioned dividend is calculated based on the dividend distribution, as approved by the
Company&#146;s shareholder meeting on June&nbsp;15th, 2010, and the actual number of common shares
outstanding on the record date for the distribution. As a result of the employee stock options
exercised between the day the Company&#146;s board proposed said dividend distribution, and the record
date of the distribution, the total number of outstanding common shares has increased slightly,
resulting in a miniscule difference in the per-share dividends from the per-share numbers proposed
by the Company&#146;s board on February 9th, 2010.
