Chuang Juiping 4

What Happened

• VP Chuang Juiping purchased 62 American Depositary Shares (ADS) of Taiwan Semiconductor on 2026-04-09 at $57.87 per ADS, for a total reported value of $3,588. This was a purchase (buy), which insiders often view as a bullish signal relative to selling, though the amount is small.

Key Details

• Transaction date and price: 2026-04-09 — 62 ADS @ $57.87 each.
• Total value: $3,588 (USD) as reported.
• Filing date: Form 4 filed 2026-04-13 (filed within the typical SEC 2-business-day window following the transaction).
• Shares owned after transaction: not disclosed in this filing.
• Relevant footnotes from the filing:
  • F1: Each ADS represents five (5) common shares.
  • F2/F4: Shares were purchased by the ESPP administrator on behalf of the filer and are held under the issuer’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP).
  • F3: Price was translated from NT$1,837.2789 at NT$31.748 = US$1.
  • F5: Notes that some common shares may be purchased by a trust with LTI plan cash, over which the filer has investment control (as applicable).

Context

• The purchase equates to 62 ADS = 310 underlying common shares (62 × 5, per F1).
• The dollar amount is small relative to typical insider trades at large-cap chip firms, so while it is a purchase (potentially informative), it is not a material stake change.
• This was an ESPP-related acquisition rather than an option exercise or a gift; ESPP purchases are routine payroll/plan transactions rather than open-market discretionary buys.
