Employee Stock Purchase Plan financial

"Common Shares purchased by the administrator of the issuer's Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") on behalf of the filer"

An employee stock purchase plan is a company program that lets workers buy shares through small payroll deductions, often at a discount to the market price and after a set offering period. Think of it like a workplace savings plan that turns into ownership: it encourages employees to share in the company’s success and can create predictable buying or selling of stock that investors watch because it affects supply, demand and employee incentives.

American Depositary Shares financial

"Each American Depositary Share represents five (5) Common Shares."

American depositary shares (ADSs) are a way for investors in the United States to buy shares of foreign companies without dealing with international markets directly. They represent ownership in a foreign company's stock and are traded on U.S. stock exchanges, making it easier for American investors to buy, sell, and own parts of companies from around the world.

open-market purchase financial

"Purchase in open market or private transaction"

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.

immediate family member financial

"on behalf of the filer's Immediate Family Member, who is a TSMC employee"

indirect ownership financial

"By Immediate Family Member" and "By Spouse" indicate indirect ownership"
