Does the TSM Form 3 show any recent buy or sell transactions by Yuan Lipen?

No buy or sell transactions are identified; the Form 3 functions as an initial ownership statement. It lists existing direct and indirect holdings of common shares rather than reporting new open-market purchases or sales on the filing date.
