Clarification of Media Reports
Regarding April 29 media reports on TSMC’s 2011 revenue growth target, TSMC would like to make the following clarification to avoid any misunderstanding due to incomplete reporting by the media:
1.   Chairman Dr. Morris Chang clearly stated TSMC’s target of 20% revenue growth in 2011 is in U.S. dollar terms. It is an internal goal, and not to be regarded as a financial forecast.
2.   Regarding media reports quoting Chairman Chang as saying “2011 is a good year”, Chairman Chang also clearly stated that “2011 is a good year except for the exchange rate.”
