English Translation of Excerpts from Quarterly Securities Report Filed in Japan

This document is an English translation of selected information included in the Quarterly Securities Report for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 filed by Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (“MUFG” or “we”) with the Kanto Local Financial Bureau, the Ministry of Finance of Japan, on February 14, 2023 (the “Quarterly Securities Report”). An English translation of certain information included in the Quarterly Securities Report was previously submitted in a report on Form 6-K dated February 2, 2023. Accordingly, this document should be read together with the previously submitted report.

The Quarterly Securities Report has been prepared and filed in Japan in accordance with applicable Japanese disclosure requirements as well as generally accepted accounting principles in Japan (“J-GAAP”). There are significant differences between J-GAAP and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. In addition, the Quarterly Securities Report is being filed in the context of other prior disclosures filed by MUFG in Japan and discusses selected recent developments taking into account those prior disclosures. Accordingly, you may need to review the following disclosure, together with other prior disclosures, to obtain all of the information that is important to you. For a more complete discussion of the background to information provided below, please see our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 and other reports filed with or submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission by MUFG.

The following disclosure contains forward-looking statements, which, unless specifically stated otherwise, reflect our understanding as of the date of filing of the Quarterly Securities Report. Actual results may significantly differ from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In addition, although the Risk Committee identified the top risks below, there may be other material risks that emerge as we operate our businesses.

Risks Relating to Our Business

We describe below some major developments and changes to update our risk factor disclosure previously included in our annual securities report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 filed in Japan on June 27, 2022. With the completion of the transfer of shares in MUFG Union Bank, N.A., we deem the “7. Risks relating to the sale of MUFG Union Bank, N.A.” no longer significant. The updates below are not a complete update of the prior disclosure, but instead intended to explain only the significant developments and changes that we believe may have a material impact on the risks to our business and other risks. The discussion below contains forward-looking statements, which, unless specifically described otherwise, reflect our understanding as of the date of filing of the Quarterly Securities Report.

The numbering of the subheading of the risk disclosure below corresponds to the numbering of the subheading of the same risk disclosure in our most recent annual securities report filed in Japan.

We determine the significance of various risk scenarios based on their impact and probability and identify potential risk events that are deemed to require close monitoring and attention for the next one-year period as top risks. The main top risks identified by our Risk Committee in January 2023 are as follows. By identifying these top risks, we seek to implement necessary risk management measures designed to minimize such risks to the extent possible and manage them in such a manner that they can be agilely dealt with in the event that they materialize. In addition, through management’s participation in discussions on such top risks, we strive to take effective measures based on a shared assessment of risks.

Main Top Risks


Risk events		Risk scenarios
A decline in profitability (including the impact on our capital management)		• Our profitability may be adversely affected by an increase in our funding costs due to a rise in interest rates globally. • Our capital management may be adversely affected by, among other things, an increase in risk weighted assets or an increase in unrealized losses on debt securities.
Foreign currency liquidity risk		• Deterioration in market conditions may result in a depletion of foreign currency funding liquidity and an increase in our foreign currency funding costs.
An increase in credit costs		• Sudden deterioration in global economic activities may result in an increase in our credit costs. • Deterioration in the credit quality of particular industries or counterparties, to which we have relatively larger exposures, may result in an increase in our credit costs.
IT risk		• Cyber-attacks may result in customer information leakage, suspension of our services, and reputational damage. • System problems may result in our payment of financial compensation and damage to our reputation.
Risks relating to external circumstances or events (such as health pandemics, earthquakes, floods, terrorism and geopolitical conflicts)		• Health pandemics, natural disasters, conflicts, terrorism, geopolitical conflicts and ensuing economic sanctions may result in disruptions to all or part of our operations or an increase in costs and expenses in addressing such circumstances or events.
Risks relating to climate changes		• If our efforts to address climate change-related risks or to make appropriate disclosure are deemed insufficient, our corporate value may be impaired. • Our credit portfolio may be adversely affected by the negative impact of climate change on our borrowers and transaction counterparties.

*	These risk events are among the risk events that were reported to MUFG’s Board of Directors following the Risk Committee’s discussion in January 2023. These risk events include risk events of general applicability.

1.	Risks relating to deterioration in economic conditions in Japan and globally

Economic conditions in Japan and around the world may deteriorate due to various factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic and measures being implemented in response to the pandemic, including restrictions on travel, store operations and other economic activities, in Japan and other countries and regions. Despite some signs of economic activity gradually returning to normal, uncertainty over the Japanese and global economies still remains because of the unpredictability of the timing of containment of COVID-19. Uncertainty is also caused by such other factors as concerns over political developments in the United States, concerns over the U.S.-China conflict, inflation concerns worldwide, global geopolitical risks, interruptions in global supply of commodities and international trade, political turmoil in various regions around the world, changes in the monetary and fiscal policies in major jurisdictions, and rapid and significant fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. In addition, external events, such as political and social conflicts, terrorism, geopolitical conflicts and ensuing economic sanctions, earthquakes, typhoons, floods and other natural disasters, and health pandemics or epidemics, may cause deterioration in economic conditions and market instability in affected areas.

Worsening economic conditions in Japan and around the world may result in, among other things, impairment or valuation losses on securities and other assets that we hold due to declines in the market value of such assets, an increase in our non-performing loans and credit costs due to deterioration in borrowers’ business performance, a decrease in our profits due to deterioration in the creditworthiness of counterparties in market transactions, a reduction in foreign currency funding liquidity, an increase in our foreign currency funding costs, and an increase in the level of risk in, and the balance of, the risk assets that we hold. Our profitability may be adversely affected by various other factors, including a decline in our net interest income caused by such factors as an increase in our funding costs due to a rise in interest rates globally resulting from changes in the monetary policies of central banks in various jurisdictions. In addition, an economic downturn may result in a decline in new investments and business transactions by customers due to stagnation in economic activity, weak consumer spending, diminished investor appetite for making investments in uncertain financial markets, and a decrease in our assets under custody or management.

In the event of a financial market turmoil or depression resulting from significant volatility in bond and stock markets or foreign currency exchange rates, or a global financial crisis, the market value of financial instruments that we hold may significantly decline, properly quoted market prices of such instruments may become unavailable for valuation purposes, or financial markets may become dysfunctional. As a result, we may incur impairment or valuation losses on financial instruments in our portfolio.

Any of the foregoing factors may materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

2.	Risks relating to external circumstances or events (such as conflicts, terrorist attacks and natural disasters)

As a major financial institution incorporated in Japan and operating in major international financial markets, our business operations, ATMs and other information technology systems, personnel, and facilities and other physical assets are subject to the risks of earthquakes, typhoons, floods and other natural disasters, terrorism, geopolitical conflicts and ensuing economic sanctions, political and social conflicts, health pandemics or epidemics, and other disruptions caused by external events, which are beyond our control. Such external events may result in loss of facility and human and other resources, suspension or delay in all or part of our operations, inability to implement business strategic measures or respond to changes in the market or regulatory environment as planned, and other disruptions to our operations. In addition, we may be required to incur significant costs and expenses, including those incurred for preventive or remedial measures, to deal with the consequences of such external events. As a result, our business, operating results and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

As with other Japanese companies, we are exposed to heightened risks of large-scale natural disasters, particularly earthquakes. In particular, a large-scale earthquake occurring in the Tokyo metropolitan area and other areas where we have our important business functions may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Our risk management policies and procedures may be insufficient to address the consequences of these external events, resulting in our inability to continue to operate a part or the whole of our business, although we work to strengthen our operational resilience (a comprehensive ability to continue critical operations in the event of a disruption such as a conflict, terrorism (including cyber terrorism), or natural disaster) by establishing a business continuity framework based on the regulations of each relevant jurisdiction and testing through training and other measures.

Our redundancy and backup measures may not be sufficient to avoid a material disruption in our operations, and our contingency and business continuity plans may not address all eventualities that may occur in the event of a material disruption caused by a large-scale natural disaster.

11.

Risks relating to our lending business

The lending business is one of our primary businesses. To the extent that our measures designed to mitigate credit risk, including collateral, guarantees and credit derivatives, are insufficient, our credit costs may significantly increase if borrowers fail to meet their interest payment or principal repayment obligations as expected or if we fail to effectively and adequately anticipate and deal with deterioration in the credit quality of our borrowers. Any such failure may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and may also result in a decrease in our capital ratios. Our credit costs and problem loans may increase in the future due to deterioration in economic conditions in Japan and other parts of the world, including emerging countries, fluctuations in oil and other commodity prices, declines in real estate and stock prices, depreciation of currencies of emerging markets, rises in interest rates, or financial difficulties of our borrowers due to such factors as intensifying competition within their respective industries.

(1)

Status of our allowance for credit losses

Our allowance for credit losses is recorded based on assumptions and estimates of the condition of borrowers, the value of collateral and the economy as a whole. Because of deterioration in general economic conditions or in the financial performance of specific borrowers, we may be required to increase our provision for credit losses. We may also incur additional credit losses if our actual loan losses exceed our allowance for credit losses. In addition, the regulatory standards or guidance on establishing allowances may also change, causing us to change some of the evaluations used in determining the allowances. As a result, we may need to provide for additional allowance for credit losses. As of March 31, 2022, the balance of our allowance for credit losses was ¥1,222.1 billion.

(2)

Concentration of loan and other credit exposures to particular industries and counterparties

When we make loans and other extensions of credit, we seek to diversify our portfolio to avoid any concentration of exposure to a particular industry or counterparty. However, our credit exposures to the real estate industry are relatively high in comparison to other industries, and we are consequently susceptible to adverse changes particularly in that industry. While we continue to monitor and respond to changes in circumstances and other developments relating to particular industries and individual counterparties as well as each relevant country and region, including emerging countries, the quality of our credit portfolio may deteriorate to an extent greater than expected due to changes in economic conditions in Japan and other countries and regions, including the impact of climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic and the geopolitical developments in Ukraine, and fluctuations in real estate prices, oil and other commodity prices, and foreign currency exchange rates.

(3)

Our response to borrowers

Even in the event that a borrower defaults, based on the efficiency and effectiveness of collecting on loans and other factors, we may not exercise all of our legal rights as a creditor against the borrower.

In addition, if we determine that it is reasonable, we may forgive debt or provide additional loans or equity capital to support borrowers. If such support is provided, our outstanding loans may increase significantly, our credit costs may increase, and the value of the additional equity purchased may decline.

16.

Risks of being deemed to have engaged in inappropriate or illegal practices or other conduct and, as a result, becoming subject to regulatory actions

We conduct our business subject to laws, regulations, rules, policies and voluntary codes of practice in Japan and other markets where we operate. We are subject to various regulatory inquiries or investigations from time to time in connection with various aspects of our business and operations. Our compliance risk management systems and programs, which are continually enhanced, may not be fully effective in preventing all violations of laws, regulations and rules.

If we are deemed not compliant with applicable laws, regulations or rules, including those relating to money laundering, economic sanctions, bribery, corruption, financial crimes, or other inappropriate or illegal transactions, if our conduct is deemed to constitute unfair or inappropriate business practices, or if we are deemed to have failed to meet market or industry rules or standards, customer protection requirements, or corporate behavior expectations, we may become subject to penalties, fines, public reprimands, reputational damage, issuance of business improvement, suspension or other administrative orders, or withdrawal of authorization to operate. These consequences may result in loss of customer or market confidence in us or otherwise may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Our ability to obtain regulatory approvals for future strategic initiatives may also be adversely affected.

In February 2019, MUFG Bank entered into a consent order with the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, or OCC, relating to deficiencies identified by the OCC in the Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering compliance program of MUFG Bank’s U.S. branches in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. The consent order requires MUFG Bank and its U.S. branches to implement various remedial measures to address the deficiencies found in the OCC examination, including a comprehensive action plan satisfactory to the OCC, implementation of measures to ensure effective compliance management and qualified staffing, the adoption of comprehensive Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering risk assessment policies and procedures, and other remedial actions. MUFG Bank has undertaken necessary actions relating to the consent order, and the OCC has terminated the consent order pertaining to MUFG Bank’s compliance with Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering program requirements.

We have received requests and subpoenas for information from government agencies in some jurisdictions that are conducting investigations into past submissions made by panel members, including us, to the bodies that set various interbank benchmark rates as well as investigations into foreign exchange related practices of global financial institutions. Some of the investigations into foreign exchange related practices resulted in our payment of monetary penalties to the relevant government agencies. We are cooperating with the ongoing investigations and have been conducting an internal investigation, among other things. In connection with these matters, we and other financial institutions are involved as defendants in a number of civil lawsuits, including putative class actions, in the United States.

These developments or other similar events, including potential additional regulatory actions against us, agreements to make significant additional settlement payments, may result in significant adverse financial and other consequences to us.

1.	Changes in the Scope of Consolidation or Application of the Equity Method

Significant changes in the scope of consolidation

None.

II.

Significant changes in the scope of application of the equity method

None.

(Changes in Accounting Policies)

(Changes in Accounting Policies Due to Revisions to Accounting Standards, etc.)

(Implementation Guidance on Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement)

Accounting Standard Board of Japan (“ASBJ”) Implementation Guidance No. 31, “Implementation Guidance on Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement” (ASBJ, June 17, 2021) (“Implementation Guidance on Fair Value Measurement”), has been applied from the beginning of the nine-month period ended December 31, 2022. In accordance with the transitional treatment set forth in paragraph 27-2 of the Implementation Guidance on Fair Value Measurement, MUFG has applied new accounting policies based on the Implementation Guidance on Fair Value Measurement prospectively.

There is no impact on our consolidated financial statements as of the end of and for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2022 due to the application of this Guidance.

(Changes in Presentation of Financial Information)

“Refund” of income taxes, which was previously included in “Income taxes” on a net basis for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 is presented separately on a disaggregated basis from the nine months ended December 31, 2022 due to the increased significance in the recorded amount. In order to reflect this change in presentation, the consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 have been reclassified.

As a result, “Income taxes” of ¥256,408 million previously presented in the consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 has been disaggregated and reclassified into “Current” of ¥270,579 million and “Refund” of ¥(14,170) million.

(Additional Information)

(Estimated impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine situation relating to allowance for credit losses)

The process of calculating allowance for credit losses in our principal consolidated domestic banking subsidiaries involves various estimates such as determination of counterparty credit ratings which are based on evaluation and classification of counterparties’ debt-service capacity, assessment of the value of collateral provided by borrowers, and adjustments for future loss projections and other factors to the loss rates calculated based on historical credit loss experience.

Among these, internal credit ratings are assigned to counterparties based on qualitative factors such as the current and expected future business environment of the industry to which they belong as well as their management and funding risks in addition to quantitative financial evaluations through an analysis of their financial results. In particular, the uncertain business environment caused by such factors as the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and Russia-Ukraine situation has had a significant impact on the financial position and operating results of certain counterparties. Determination of internal credit ratings for these counterparties may be highly dependent on our assessment of the prospects of improvements in their operating results and their ability to continue as going concerns.

When calculating allowance for credit losses, MUFG Bank, Ltd. (“the Bank”), our principal consolidated domestic banking subsidiary, determines expected loss rates primarily by calculating a rate of loss based on a historical average of the credit loss rate or a historical average of the default probability derived from actual credit loss experience or actual bankruptcy experience and making necessary adjustments based on future projections and other factors. The subsidiary makes such adjustments based on future loss projections and other factors to loss rates calculated based on historical loss experience, when and to the extent such adjustments are deemed appropriate, by taking into account the rate of increase in the credit loss rate or the default probability in a more recent period, additional expected losses and other factors, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine situation. The amount of impact of these adjustments was ¥63,673 million as of December 31, 2022 (¥77,572 million as of March 31, 2022).

In addition, certain overseas subsidiaries which apply Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326, “Financial Instruments—Credit losses,” issued by the FASB, provide for allowance for credit losses by estimating credit losses currently expected for the remaining term of the relevant contracts. Expected credit losses are calculated using a quantitative model that reflects economic forecast scenarios based on macroeconomic variables. The calculation process includes determination of macroeconomic variables used in multiple economic forecast scenarios and the weightings applied to each economic forecast scenario. Expected credit losses are adjusted for qualitative factors to compensate for expected credit losses that are not reflected in a quantitative model. No allowance for credit losses was recorded for the loans reclassified as loans held for sale in connection with the execution of the Share Purchase Agreement pursuant to which all of the shares of MUFG Union Bank, N.A. (“MUB”) held by MUFG Americas Holdings Corporation (“MUAH”) will be sold to U.S. Bancorp (“USB”) because these loans are measured at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 310, “Receivables,” issued by the FASB.

Significant assumptions used in our calculation of allowance for credit losses, including those described above, are subject to uncertainty. In particular, certain counterparties’ prospects of improvements in their operating results and expectations as to their ability to continue as going concerns, and adjustments to the rate of loss calculated based on actual experience for future projections and other factors, as well as determination of the macroeconomic variables used in, and the weightings applied to, multiple economic forecast scenarios, and adjustments thereto for qualitative factors, by certain subsidiaries which apply U.S. GAAP, are based on estimation relating to the economic environment with respect to which objective data are not readily available.

The outlook relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine situation, which are expected to further impact our counterparties’ operating environment and the economic environment, remains subject to significant uncertainty. Accordingly, we make certain assumptions, including that, although the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic will continue, restrictions on economic activity will be eased mainly in major economies, resulting in gradual decrease in the economic impact, and that the uncertainty in the business environment caused by the Russia-Ukraine situation will remain. The recorded allowance for credit losses represents our best estimation made in a manner designed to ensure objectivity and rationality.

For the nine-month period ended December 31, 2022, the assumptions for making estimates relating to allowance for credit losses remained substantially unchanged because the observable changes subsequent to the end of the previous fiscal year in the factors and circumstances underlying the outlook relating to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine situation were not sufficiently significant to cause such change in the assumptions. However, these assumptions are highly uncertain and, as we continue to monitor risks, including the risk of a significant economic downturn, which may increase due to, for example, prolongation of high global inflation and significant monetary tightening in various countries as well as cumulative effects of these developments, significant additional provision for credit losses may be recognized for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023 and subsequent reporting periods due to such and other factors affecting the financial performance of counterparties or the economic environment.

(Transition from the Consolidated Taxation System to the Group Tax Sharing System)

MUFG and some of its domestic consolidated subsidiaries have shifted from the consolidated taxation system to the group tax sharing system from the beginning of the nine months ended December 31, 2022. Accordingly, the accounting treatment and disclosure of corporate tax, local corporation tax, and tax-effect accounting are applied and made in accordance with ASBJ Practical Issues Task Force Report No. 42, “Practical Solution on the Accounting and Disclosure under the Group Tax Sharing System” (August 12, 2021) (“Practical Issues Report No. 42”). Based on paragraph 32(1) of Practical Issues Report No. 42, MUFG has concluded that there is no impact from the changes in its accounting policies resulting from the application of Practical Issues Report No. 42.

2.	Consolidated Balance Sheets

Loans to be disclosed under the Banking Act and the Financial Reconstruction Act (the “FRA”) were as follows. Disclosed loans include corporate bonds included in Securities (to the extent that such bonds were issued through private placements as stipulated in Article 2-3 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and that the principal of and interest on such bonds are partly or fully guaranteed by MUFG), Loans and bills discounted, Foreign exchanges, accrued interest and suspense payments included in Other assets, and Customers’ liabilities for acceptances and guarantees, each as included in the consolidated balance sheets, and securities loaned (to the extent borrowers have the right to sell or pledge such securities) as included in the notes to the consolidated balance sheets.

(Litigation)

In the ordinary course of business, MUFG is subject to various litigation and regulatory matters. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, MUFG establishes a Reserve for Contingent Losses arising from litigation and regulatory matters when they are determined to be probable in their occurrences and the probable loss amount can be reasonably estimated. Based upon current knowledge and consultation with counsel, management believes the eventual outcome of such litigation and regulatory matters, where losses are probable and the probable loss amounts can be reasonably estimated, would not have a material adverse effect on MUFG’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Management also believes the amount of loss that is reasonably possible, but not probable, from various litigation and regulatory matters is not material to MUFG’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(3)	Changes relating to reporting segments

From the nine months ended December 31, 2022, MUFG has changed the method of allocation of net revenue and operating expenses among reporting segments and has accordingly changed the method of calculation of operating profit (loss) of each reporting segment.

The business segment information for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 has been restated based on the new calculation method.

7.	Financial Instruments

The following shows those financial instruments as of December 31, 2022 which were deemed material in the management of our group company businesses and showed material changes as compared to those as of March 31, 2022.

The fair values of financial instruments are classified into the following three levels depending on the observability and significance of the input used in the fair value calculation.

Level 1: Fair value determined based on (unadjusted) quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2: Fair value determined based on directly or indirectly observable inputs other than the Level 1 inputs

Level 3: Fair value determined based on significant unobservable inputs

Where multiple inputs are used with a significant impact on the fair value calculation, the fair value of a financial instrument is classified based on the lowest of the priority levels to which any of those inputs belongs.

(Note 1)

Available-for-sale securities (excluding certain equity securities with no quoted market price available and investments in partnerships and others) are subject to write-downs when their fair value significantly declines and it is determined as of the end of the reporting period that it is not probable that the value will recover to the acquisition cost. In such case, the fair value is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet and the difference between the fair value and the acquisition cost is recognized as losses for the reporting period.

Whether there is any “significant decline in the fair value” is determined for each category of issuers in accordance with the internal standards for self-assessment of asset quality as provided below:

(a) Bankrupt issuers, virtually bankrupt issuers and likely to become bankrupt issuers:

Fair value is lower than acquisition cost.

(b) Issuers requiring close watch:

Fair value has declined by 30% or more from acquisition cost.

Fair value has declined by 50% or more from acquisition cost.

“Bankrupt issuers” means issuers who have entered into bankruptcy, special liquidation proceedings or similar legal proceedings or whose notes have been dishonored and suspended from processing through clearing houses. “Virtually bankrupt issuers” means issuers who are not legally or formally bankrupt but are regarded as substantially in similar condition. “Likely to become bankrupt issuers” means issuers who are not yet legally or formally bankrupt but deemed to have a high possibility of becoming bankrupt. “Issuers requiring close watch” means issuers who are financially weak and are under close monitoring by our subsidiaries. “Normal issuers” means issuers other than those who are classified in the four categories mentioned above.

(Note 2)

The total difference as of March 31, 2022 includes ¥174,462 million of revaluation gains on securities by application of the fair value hedge accounting method. The total difference as of December 31, 2022 includes ¥111,397 million of revaluation gains on securities by application of the fair value hedge accounting method.

(Note 3)

In connection with the planned sale of the shares in MUB, unrealized losses on such securities which are reported at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet are reported as valuation losses in accordance with ASC Topic 326, “Financial Instruments—Credit losses.” The reported acquisition cost is based on the amount after valuation losses, and, therefore, “Acquisition cost” and “Difference” as of December 31, 2022 do not include ¥594,782 million of such valuation losses.

MUFG has viewed the U.S. regional banking business as an important business for the group’s strategy. At the same time, given MUB’s current business environment, including the need for increased technology investments as part of digital transformation, a certain scale is required to maintain and strengthen MUB’s competitiveness.

Under these circumstances, MUFG concluded that transferring MUB to USB, a major U.S. bank with a strong business foundation, would be the most appropriate decision that was expected to lead to providing higher quality financial services to customers and communities and unlock MUB’s potential franchise value. From the perspective of MUFG’s optimization of management resources under the current medium-term business plan, MUFG determined that the sale of MUB and the shift of focus to corporate transactions in the United States would help maximize shareholder value through an increase in capital efficiency.
