open-market purchase financial

"transaction_action": "open-market purchase""

An open-market purchase is when an investor or a company buys shares on a public stock exchange at the going market price, rather than through a private deal. It matters to investors because these purchases change how many shares are available, can push the stock price up or signal confidence from large buyers, and often affect per-share metrics like earnings—think of it like someone buying lots of apples off a grocery shelf, reducing supply and potentially raising the price.

What insider transaction did TSM (TSM) report for Shu-Hua Fang?

TSMC reported that SVP and general counsel Shu-Hua Fang indirectly acquired 54 common shares through an Employee Stock Purchase Plan trust.

The 54 Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing shares were acquired at $76.62 per share. This price reflects a translation from an average purchase price of NT$2,462.6361 using an exchange rate of NT$32.143 to US$1, as disclosed in the filing footnotes.

How many TSM (TSM) shares does Shu-Hua Fang now hold via the ESPP trust?

After the latest ESPP purchase, the trust holds 6,595 Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing common shares for Shu-Hua Fang. These shares are accumulated under the company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which acquires stock on predetermined terms on behalf of eligible employees.

What are Shu-Hua Fang’s direct TSM (TSM) shareholdings after this filing?

The filing shows Shu-Hua Fang directly holds 858,392 Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing common shares. This direct position is separate from various indirect holdings through entities, family members, and compensation-related trusts that are also detailed in the ownership tables.

Was the TSM (TSM) ESPP purchase a discretionary trade by Shu-Hua Fang?
