[6-K] TAIWAN SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING CO LTD Current Report (Foreign Issuer)

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC) is making a very small adjustment to its previously approved cash dividend for the second quarter of 2025. The board had approved a total cash dividend of NT$129,662,912,605, or NT$5.0 per common share, to be paid on January 8, 2026. Because some shares from 2024 restricted stock awards were reclaimed between the approval date and the dividend record date, the number of shares outstanding changed slightly. As a result, the dividend per share is now adjusted to NT$5.00001118 per common share, a change described as miniscule.

Adjustment to Cash Dividend Per Share

TSMC Board of Directors on August 12, 2025 approved to distribute NT$129,662,912,605 as cash dividend (NT$5.0 per common share) for the second quarter of 2025, and the dividend will be paid on January 8, 2026. Due to the reclamation of shares from 2024 restricted stock awards during the period between the date the Company's board approved said dividend distribution and the record date of the distribution, the number of common shares outstanding has changed slightly, resulting in a miniscule difference in the dividend per share compared to the original amount approved by the Company's board. The cash dividend for the second quarter of 2025 is hereby adjusted to NT$5.00001118 per common share.
