The board approved a significant capital appropriation of approximately $17.36 billion to expand and upgrade technology capacities, including advanced technology, packaging, and fab construction. Additionally, TSMC will invest up to $5 billion in its wholly-owned subsidiary, TSMC Global Ltd., to mitigate foreign exchange hedging costs. The company also committed to a philanthropic donation of up to NT$4 billion to various educational institutions in Taiwan to support semiconductor research and talent development. To counteract share dilution from Employee Restricted Stock Awards, TSMC's board authorized a share buyback program to repurchase 3,249,000 common shares on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. TSMC, a pioneer in the pure-play foundry business model since 1987, continues to lead the semiconductor industry with its extensive process technologies and product portfolio.
