period January&nbsp;1, 2014 to December&nbsp;31, 2014 (&#147;Reporting Period&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Rule 13p-1, through Form SD, requires the disclosure of certain
information if a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products for which certain &#147;conflict minerals&#148; (&#147;Covered Minerals&#148; as defined below) are necessary to the functionality or production of such products. Form SD
defines &#147;conflict minerals&#148; as: (i)(a) columbite-tantalite (or coltan, the metal ore from which tantalum is extracted); (b)&nbsp;cassiterite (the metal ore from which tin is extracted); (c)&nbsp;gold; and (d)&nbsp;wolframite (the metal ore
from which tungsten is extracted), or their derivatives, or (ii)&nbsp;any other mineral or its derivatives determined by the U.S. Secretary of State to be financing conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country

manufacture, or contract to manufacture, products for which conflict minerals are necessary to the functionality or production of those products (collectively, the &#147;Products&#148;). For example, the Covered Minerals, particularly tantalum, tin
and tungsten, are frequently used in our various product lines to varying degrees. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This Conflict Minerals Report describes: (i)&nbsp;the good faith

such Covered Minerals originated in the Covered Countries and/or whether any of the Covered Minerals may be from recycled or scrap sources; (ii)&nbsp;the measures and framework used by us to exercise due diligence on the source and chain of custody
of our Covered Minerals; and (iii)&nbsp;the determination as to the facilities used to process the Covered Minerals as well as their countries of origin. There is a significant overlap between our RCOI efforts and our due diligence measures

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a general matter, TSMC has designed and implemented three procedural cornerstones in support of compliance with conflict-free sourcing:
(a)&nbsp;TSMC&#146;s Ethics and Business Conduct Policy; (b)&nbsp;TSMC&#146;s Corporate Social Responsibility Program (including TSMC&#146;s Supplier Responsibilities for Sourcing Conflict-Free Materials), which is publicly available online at
http://www.tsmc.com/english/csr/collaborates_with_suppliers.htm); and (c)&nbsp;TSMC&#146;s Green Procurement for Substance Control and Conflict Minerals Procedure (&#147;Green Procurement Policy&#148;). Our Ethics and Business Conduct Policy
contains general ethical principles and guidelines that, among other matters, require us to follow all applicable laws, including those related to the sourcing of conflict minerals. As part of the duties of an ethical corporate citizen, our
Corporate Social Responsibility Program describes the requirements we place upon our suppliers, such as requiring them to comply with applicable labor laws and also to source materials from conflict-free regions. Our Green Procurement Policy
requires us, as well as all of our relevant suppliers and contractors, to watch out for any &#147;red flags&#148; regarding the source of conflict minerals in our supply chain. Please see Exhibit III attached hereto for a description of such warning
flags. Also, in addition to imposing requirements relating to hazardous substances materials sourcing, our Green Procurement Policy requires that any of our potential suppliers or contractors adhere to our Supplier Responsibilities for Sourcing
Conflict-Free Materials. These documents serve as the basis for our strong internal corporate management system with respect to conflict-free sourcing. Secondly, TSMC adheres to the humanitarian and ethical principles contained in the<I>
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas: Second Edition</I>, including the related supplements on gold, tin, tantalum and
tungsten (the &#147;OECD Guidance&#148;) to supplement its policies and procedures on conflict-free sourcing. We have adopted its due diligence framework and have designed our due diligence measures consistently with the OECD Guidance. Finally, as
an applicant member of the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition&reg; (&#147;EICC&reg;&#148;), TSMC has adopted the EICC&reg; Code of Conduct which describes the EICC&reg;&#146;s general principle on the responsible sourcing of minerals. Even
though no current law compels us to adopt the EICC&reg; Code of Conduct, we have nevertheless incorporated EICC&reg; Code of Conduct principles on conflict minerals sourcing as an additional safeguard in our conflict minerals regulatory compliance
system. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B><I><U>Participation in Trade Association Conflict-Free Initiatives </U></I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In 2014, TSMC joined the EICC&reg; as an applicant member with the aim of becoming a full member as soon as permitted under the EICC&reg; bylaws. As an active
participating member of the EICC&reg;, TSMC may better lend its influence and resources to support and help sponsor industry-wide conflict-free initiatives like the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (&#147;GeSI&#148;) and the Conflict-Free Sourcing
Initiative (&#147;CFSI&#148;)&#146;s Conflict-Free Smelter Program (or &#147;CFSP&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Since 2009, the EICC&reg; and GeSI have led efforts to develop
implementation tools and programs for the tracking of conflict minerals in the global electronics supply chain. In late 2011, TSMC was among the first in our industry to adopt and require our suppliers and contractors to use the CFSI Conflict
Minerals Reporting Template (the &#147;Dashboard&#148;). The Dashboard was developed by the EICC&reg;-GeSI as a common industry standard method to collect sourcing information related to conflict minerals and is recognized in the OECD Guidance as an
important component of responsible supply chain management. As evidenced in the Form SD for fiscal year 2013 filed by almost every issuer who does business in the technology sector, gathering the information for the Dashboard mechanism constituted a
significant portion of the due diligence measures adopted by our industry peers. TSMC&#146;s Green Procurement Policy requires our relevant suppliers and contractors (as well as the relevant suppliers and contractors of our consolidated
subsidiaries) to complete and regularly update the Dashboard. In addition, the CFSP allows independent third-party certification of the conflict-free status of participating smelters and refiners. Again, based on a review of the Form SD for fiscal
year 2013 filed by almost every issuer involved in the technology sector, the sourcing of Covered Minerals from smelters or refiners validated under the CFSP represented a major part of their respective reasonable country of origin inquiry and/or
due diligence measures. Our Green Procurement Policy encourages our suppliers and contractors to source from smelters or refineries validated under this Program. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because TSMC does not purchase the Covered Minerals directly from smelters, refiners or mines, TSMC relies on the country of origin information provided by
its direct first-tier suppliers or contractors that supply Covered Minerals (respectively &#147;Suppliers&#148; and &#147;Contractors). Our Suppliers and Contractors were asked to complete Dashboard templates, obtain representations from their
suppliers, obey our Corporate Social Responsibility Program and periodically update all information provided to us regarding conflict minerals for the Reporting Period. We obtained written representations indicating the facility at which the Covered
Minerals were processed and demonstrating whether these Covered Minerals originated in the Covered Countries or came from recycled or scrap sources. The representation letters indicated that during the Reporting Period, they either:
(i)&nbsp;supplied no Covered Minerals from the Covered Countries; or (ii)&nbsp;they supplied Covered Minerals solely from smelters or refiners that had been validated under the CFSP or were awaiting CFSP validation. </P>

Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas: Second Edition, </I>including the related supplements on gold, tin, tantalum and tungsten (the &#147;OECD
Guidance&#148;), consistent with TSMC&#146;s position as a downstream company. To guide its due diligence, TSMC has established a due diligence compliance process that includes a documentation and record maintenance mechanism performed in accordance
with TSMC&#146;s records retention policy to ensure the retention of relevant documentation. The Company expects to continue to refine, revise and improve this process as appropriate in light of existing infrastructures regarding conflict minerals

similarly committed to responsible sourcing in the supply chain. The Company has communicated our Policy to our suppliers and contractors of Covered Minerals and required them to acknowledge its importance. It is the policy of TSMC to encourage all
of our suppliers and contractors to source the Covered Minerals from smelters or refiners who have been certified by independent third parties under the CFSI&#146;s Conflict-Free Smelter Program. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Personnel:</I></B> To oversee compliance with relevant conflict-free materials laws and regulations, we
have formed a standing Conflict-Free Materials Task Force (&#147;Task Force&#148;), consisting mainly of Legal, Environmental, Safety&nbsp;&amp; Health, Procurement, and Backend Technology and Service. This cross-functional group is responsible for
implementing TSMC&#146;s conflict minerals compliance strategy. The Task Force is sponsored by senior management, including the Vice President&nbsp;&amp; General Counsel as well as the Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer. Our senior
management and the Board of Directors&#146; Audit Committee are briefed about the results of the Company&#146;s due diligence efforts where they provide guidance and oversight. The Task Force identifies and assesses the relevant risks in our supply
chain and formulates and implements control points to manage such risks. The Task Force also works closely with our internal team dedicated to managing all EICC&reg; related membership obligations such as complying with the EICC&reg; Code of Conduct
relating to the responsible sourcing of minerals. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Supplier Engagement:</I></B> The Task Force contacted our Suppliers and Contractors to provide
them with notice of the relevant U.S. SEC requirements and advised them of the Company&#146;s commitment to responsibly source materials and its due diligence expectations, and has followed up with each Supplier and Contractor as was reasonable to
ensure compliance. In addition, the Company has posted its Supplier Responsibilities for Sourcing Conflict-Free Materials on its website so that these entities may understand and acknowledge it as a condition for doing business with us. The Company
intends to retain evidence of the received Supplier and Contractor responses as part of its RCOI and due diligence. Feedback from this process will be used to modify, where appropriate, the design of TSMC&#146;s Conflict Minerals compliance program.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Grievance Mechanism:</I></B> The Company&#146;s existing procedures for reporting code of conduct or other ethics violations are available for
reporting Conflict Minerals compliance problems. Any party who has relevant information is able to file anonymous complaints via either the Ombudsman complaint system or Audit Committee whistleblower system. All informants are protected from
retaliation under the Ethics and Business Conduct Policy to encourage the frank and full disclosure of grievances. </P>

requested its Suppliers and Contractors to complete the Dashboard and include information regarding the source and chain of custody of Conflict Minerals in its supply chain. To facilitate the collection of complete, accurate, standardized and
verifiable information, the Company relied primarily on the Dashboard made available by the CFSI. The information provided on the Dashboard facilitates the transfer of information through the supply chain regarding country of origin and smelters and
refiners used. Written instructions and recorded training illustrating the use of the Dashboard are available on CFSI&#146;s website. The Task Force has created follow-up processes (including e-mail communication) to identify and escalate any
identified issues associated with non-responsive or problematic responses to its inquiry. As part of these processes, the Task Force expects to review the Dashboard and other information provided by its suppliers and contractors to assess the
reasonableness of the responses and to look for inconsistencies or other apparent inaccuracies. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Assessment of Risk:</I></B> Upon receipt of
completed Dashboards from its suppliers and contractors, the Task Force conducts due diligence of identified smelters or refiners by examining the information provided in Dashboard to determine if the smelter or refiner has been validated under the
CFSP as &#147;conflict-free&#148;, and assess potential risks in its supply chain. The CFSP provides information regarding those smelters or refiners that, following an independent third-party audit, have been found to be compliant with the
CFSP&#146;s assessment protocols to assure sourcing of only conflict-free materials. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B><I><U>iii) Design and Implement a Strategy to

determining whether a smelter or refiner process Covered Minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups. Like our industry peers, TSMC relies on the independent third-party audits conducted under the CFSP as furnishing a
reasonable basis to conclude that smelters and refiners validated under such Program have control procedures that prevent them from directly or indirectly financing or benefiting armed groups operating in the Covered Countries. Because of industry
acceptance of the CFSI&#146;s Conflict-Free Smelter Program and based on its own research of publicly available information, TSMC found no reasonable basis for independently determining that these validated smelters and refiners, or those awaiting
validation, sourced Covered Minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries. </P>

about the smelters or refiners whom they employ because we do not have any direct contractual relationship with or power of control over such smelters or refiners. Information that have been subjected to fraud by third parties may elude detection
even after having been subjected to the most robust verification due diligence measures like the ones we have adopted and implemented for the Reporting Period. In spite of these difficulties, our determination made herein stands as reasonable
assurance of the current status of our conflict minerals compliance and in no way detracts from our commitment towards creating a conflict-free supply chain for our Products in the coming years when infrastructures that further facilitate conflict
