</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Hsin-Chu, Taiwan, R.O.C., April&nbsp;28, 2011 </B>&#151; TSMC today announced consolidated revenue of NT$105.38
billion, net income of NT$36.28&nbsp;billion, and diluted earnings per share of NT$1.40 (US$0.24 per ADR
unit) for the first quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2011.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Year-over-year, first quarter revenue increased 14.3% while net income increased 7.8% and diluted
EPS increased 7.7%. Compared to fourth quarter of 2010, first quarter of 2011 results represent a
4.3% decrease in revenue, and a 10.9% decrease in both net income and 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">In US dollars, first quarter revenue declined 0.7% from the previous quarter and increased 24.7%
year-over-year.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Gross margin for the quarter was 49%, operating margin was 37.2%, and net margin was 34.4%.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">First quarter revenue and margins were obtained based on the exchange rate of NTD 29.3 to 1 USD, as
compared to the exchange rate of NTD 31.96 to 1 USD in 1Q 2010, and NTD 30.4 to 1 USD in the
previous quarter. All exchange rates were calculated based on a transaction-based weighted average
of the NTD to USD exchange rate over the quarter.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">40-nanometer process technology accounted for 22% of total wafer revenues, 65-nanometer accounted
for 32%. These advanced technologies accounted for 54% of total revenues.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The March&nbsp;11 earthquake in Japan, a tragic event, is not expected to cause any interruptions in our
supply lines and is not expected to have a significant effect on our demand.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;For the second quarter of 2011, we expect to increase wafer sales. Relative to the first quarter,
the computer and consumer segments will increase while communication segment will decline
slightly,&#148; said Lora Ho, SVP and Chief Financial Officer of TSMC. &#147;Based on our current business
outlook and exchange rate assumption, management expects overall performance for second quarter
2011 to be as follows&#148;:
