cassiterite (the metal ore from which tin is extracted); (c) gold; and (d)<U></U>&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.

<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)<U></U>&nbsp;TSMC&#146;s Corporate Social Responsibility Policy and 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)<U></U>&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 smelters or refiners.
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 <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Co-operation</FONT> and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas</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 a full member of the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (&#147;EICC&#148;), TSMC has adopted the EICC Code of Conduct which describes the EICC&#146;s general principle on the responsible
sourcing of minerals. We have incorporated these principles into our Supplier Code of Conduct to which our suppliers must agree to adhere. Even though no current law compels us to adopt the EICC Code of Conduct, we have nevertheless incorporated
EICC 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 September 2015, TSMC was accepted by the EICC to become a full member. As an active participating member of the EICC, TSMC can lend its influence and
resources to support and help sponsor industry-wide conflict-free initiatives like the Global <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">e-Sustainability</FONT> 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 2011, TSMC&#146;s Green Procurement Policy has required our suppliers and contractors to
complete and regularly update the CFSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the &#147;Dashboard&#148;) developed by the EICC-GeSI as an industry standard method to collect sourcing information related to conflict minerals. In addition, the CFSP
uses an independent third-party audit to certify the conflict-free status of participating smelters and refiners. Our Green Procurement Policy requires our suppliers and contractors to source from smelters or refineries validated under the CFSP.
TSMC became a member of CFSI in August 2016, and has been regularly attending CFSI&#146;s activities via conference calls to obtain updated information to facilitate the execution of our conflict minerals compliance program. </P>

Covered Countries. TSMC participates in the conflict minerals task force of the WSC, with the belief that creating a conflict-free supply chain in the Covered Minerals requires coordinated proactive steps taken on the international stage through
NGOs like the WSC to harmonize the compliance measures of all relevant stakeholders within the global electronics industry. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B><I><U>RCOI

information provided by its direct first-tier suppliers or contractors that supply Covered Minerals (respectively &#147;Suppliers&#148; and &#147;Contractors) to identify the smelters and refiners in our supply chain. Our Suppliers and Contractors
must complete Dashboard templates, obtain representations from their suppliers, obey our Corporate Social Responsibility Program and Supplier Code of Conduct and periodically update all information provided to us regarding conflict minerals for the
Reporting Period. Through our CFSI membership from 2016, we also have been obtaining country of origin information (the &#147;RCOI Data&#148;) compiled by CFSI for those smelters in our supply chain that have been validated as compliant under CFSP.
This information, together with the country of origin information provided by our Suppliers and Contractors, assists us in identifying whether the smelters and refiners in our supply chain source from the Covered Countries. </P>

Covered Countries; (ii)<U></U>&nbsp;supplied Covered Minerals solely from smelters or refiners that had been validated under the CFSP; or (iii)<U></U>&nbsp;supplied Covered Minerals from recycled or scrap sources. Each representation must be based
on a reasonable country of origin inquiry conducted by the Supplier or Contractor that includes obtaining completed Dashboards and signed representations from their suppliers or contractors. Last, the representations require the Suppliers and
Contractors to confirm no warning flags exist and to inform TSMC of any material changes to the representations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During the Reporting Period, we are
pleased to report that our RCOI due diligence measures indicate to us that 100% of the smelters and refiners from which our Suppliers and Contractors source the Covered Minerals have been fully audited, vetted and certified under the CFSP. For a
summary of the determinations made from our RCOI, please see Section IV: Determinations below. </P>

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 compliance industry-wide
as well as changes in the applicable law. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B><I><U>Description of Due Diligence Framework </U></I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In accordance with the OECD Guidance, the Company&#146;s due diligence measures on the source and chain of custody of Covered Minerals have been designed and
implemented on the following framework: </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B><I><U>i) Establish Strong Company Management Systems </U></I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Policy:</I></B> As discussed in Section II above, TSMC, has adopted a Supplier Code of Conduct and Supplier Responsibilities for Sourcing Conflict-Free
Materials (viewable publicly online at http://www.tsmc.com/english/csr/collaborates_with_suppliers.htm), which outline TSMC&#146;s commitment to responsible sourcing of its Covered Minerals in our products and our expectations that our Suppliers and
Contractors will be similarly committed to responsible sourcing in the supply chain. The Company regularly communicates this Policy to our Suppliers and Contractors of Covered Minerals and requires them to acknowledge its importance. TSMC requires
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:12pt; 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 formed a standing Conflict-Free Materials Task
Force (&#147;Task Force&#148;), comprised of members from the Legal, Environmental, Safety<U></U>&nbsp;&amp; Health, Procurement, and Backend Technology and Service departments. 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<U></U>&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 related membership obligations including complying with the portions of EICC Code of Conduct
relating to the responsible sourcing of minerals. </P>

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 Suppliers and Contractors as
was reasonable to ensure compliance. In addition, the Company 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 retains evidence of the received Supplier and Contractor responses as part of its RCOI and due diligence. Feedback from this process is 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>Information Technology Control Point System:</I></B> To prevent <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-compliant</FONT> Covered Minerals
from being incorporated into our products and services, TSMC established an information technology-driven control point, or gating mechanism, in the early stages of new supplier engagement. Potential new supplier or suppliers of new materials must
provide the supporting documentation required in our &#147;New Material Evaluation System&#148;, such as a report on Covered Minerals present in their products, a completed Dashboard and signed representations (if applicable). TSMC then reviews
these documents to assess any potential conflict minerals compliance risks, and will approve the supplier or new material only when a potential supplier has demonstrated its commitment to complying with TSMC&#146;s conflict mineral compliance
program. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Transparency:</I></B> TSMC makes our conflict minerals report available to our customers via TSMC-Online, the online system used to place
orders and communicate with TSMC, which allows enhanced transparency in the exchange of relevant compliance information. </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. Employee or any whistleblower 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 TSMC&#146;s Ethics and Business Conduct Policy to encourage the frank and full disclosure of
grievances. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B><I><U>ii) Identify and Assess Risk in the Supply Chain </U></I></B></P>

requested its Suppliers and Contractors to complete the Dashboard and include information regarding the source and chain of custody of Covered Minerals in its supply chain. The Dashboard indicates both the country of origin and name and addresses of
smelters and refiners used. Written instructions and recorded training illustrating use of the Dashboard are available on CFSI&#146;s website. The Task Force reviews the responses, checks the RCOI Data provided by CFSI, looks for inconsistencies or
other apparent inaccuracies, and follows up (through <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">e-mail</FONT> communication or conference call as necessary) to identify and escalate any issues associated with
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-responsive</FONT> or problematic responses to its inquiry. </P>

our supply chain, and take subsequent actions. 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. In 2016, as a result of our risk assessment, the Task Force required our suppliers to remove smelters from our supply chain that were identified as <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-compliant</FONT> with

Suppliers who used 33 smelters or refiners; the Covered Minerals used in our Products also came from 10 Contractors who in turn used 173 smelters or refiners. At the end of the Reporting Period, we are pleased to report that 100% of the smelters and
refiners from which our Suppliers and Contractors sourced the Covered Minerals, including the 31 smelters and refiners which may have sourced directly or indirectly from Covered Countries, have been fully audited, vetted and certified under the

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 sourced Covered Minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit

Suppliers and Contractors for the ultimate veracity of the information which they provide 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 subjected to fraud by third parties may elude detection even after having been subjected to 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 when
infrastructures that further facilitate conflict minerals compliance would become more prevalent, established and readily available at reasonable cost in time and resources. </P>
