Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited filed a Form 6-K to disclose a small adjustment to its previously approved cash dividend for the third quarter of 2025.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited filed a Form 6-K to disclose a small adjustment to its previously approved cash dividend for the third quarter of 2025. The board had approved distributing NT$155,595,147,126 as cash dividends, with payment scheduled for April 9, 2026.

Because the number of common shares outstanding changed slightly due to reclamation of restricted stock awards from 2022, 2023 and 2024, the per-share amount differs by a miniscule amount from the original figure. The cash dividend for the third quarter of 2025 is now stated as NT$6 per common share.
