MUFGs basic policies call for continuously seeking to improve shareholder returns, focusing on
dividends in the pursuit of an optimal balance with solid equity capital and strategic investment for growth.
MUFG will aim for the stable and
sustainable increase in dividends per share through profit growth, with a dividend payout ratio target of 40%. MUFG will flexibly repurchase its own shares as part of its shareholder return strategies in order to improve capital efficiency. Also, in
principle, MUFG will hold a maximum of approximately 5% of the total number of issued shares, and cancel the shares that exceed this amount.
Based on
these policies, MUFG proposes the
year-end
dividend of ¥10 per share. Combined with the interim dividend of ¥9 per share, annual dividends will total ¥19 per share, an increase ¥1 per share
over the previous fiscal year.
