On August 5, 2012, the Issuer and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (“TSMC”), entered into an investment agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) relating to the issuance of ordinary shares of the Issuer to Stichting Administratiekantoor TSMC, a foundation incorporated in the Netherlands (the “Stichting”), to be held for TSMC. Subsequently, TSMC assigned its rights under the Investment Agreement to TSMC Global Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of TSMC (“TSMC Global”).

The ordinary shares were issued on October 31, 2012. The Issuer, TSMC, TSMC Global and the Stichting entered into a shareholder agreement dated October 31, 2012. The shareholder agreement governs certain matters relating to the ordinary shares, including limiting the voting rights of TSMC and TSMC Global in certain situations. The shareholder agreement also prohibits the disposition of shares, with limited exceptions, until the earlier of the termination of the shareholder agreement or May 1, 2015.

TSMC and TSMC Global do not directly own any ordinary shares of the Issuer. By reason of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, TSMC and TSMC Global are each deemed to be the beneficial owner of depositary receipts representing 20,992,625 ordinary shares of the Issuer that are held by the Stichting.
