Notice concerning Absorption-type Corporate Split

accompanying MUFG Group “functional realignment”

Tokyo, February 2, 2018 — Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (MUFG) has previously announced the implementation of a “functional realignment” as outlined in a May 15, 2017 press release “‘Functional Realignment’ of Group Subsidiaries”.

As part of this “functional realignment,” MUFG today decided that effective April 2, 2018, the common shares in Mitsubishi UFJ Kokusai Asset Management Co., Ltd. (MUKAM) owned by The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. (the Commercial Bank) and Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Holdings Co., Ltd. (the Securities Firm), as well as the common shares in Mitsubishi UFJ Asset Management (UK) Ltd. (MUAM (UK)) owned by the Commercial Bank, will be received by MUFG by means of a dividend in kind, and will accede to Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation (the Trust Bank) by way of a corporate split as described below.

Because the inheritor in this corporate split is MUFG’s wholly-owned subsidiary the Trust Bank, some items for disclosure have been omitted.

1.	Objective

As stated in the press release of May 15, 2017, MUFG decided to conduct a “functional realignment” of its group subsidiaries with dual aims of expeditiously adapting to domestic and global structural changes in the business environment surrounding MUFG and of providing outperforming value to our customers’ for their diversifying and increasingly sophisticated needs.

In order to develop a “trust business-oriented consulting and solution business” that integrates the Trust Bank’s high level of expertise in the asset management and administration business—which is one of the most important growth segments for the group—with MUFG’s wide customer base, the Trust Bank will inherit the common shares in MUKAM received by MUFG from the Commercial Bank and the Securities Firm by means of a dividend in kind, and MUKAM will become a fully owned subsidiary of the Trust Bank.

In this way, the Trust Bank will inherit the common shares in MUAM (UK) received by MUFG from the Commercial Bank by means of a dividend in kind.

2.	Details

Conclusion of corporate split agreement		February 2, 2018
Effective date of corporate split		April 2, 2018 (planned)

Note:

MUFG and the Trust Bank will not obtain shareholder’s approval for concluding the absorption-type corporate split because the corporate split will constitute a simplified corporate split under Article 784, Paragraph 2 of the Companies Act for MUFG, and an abbreviated corporate split under Article 796, Paragraph 1 of the Companies Act for the Trust Bank.

(2) Method

Corporate split, with MUFG as the corporate undergoing a split, and the Trust Bank as the inheritor.

(3) Rationale

With this corporate split the Trust Bank will issue 89,092,582 new ordinary shares, all of which will accede to MUFG.

(4) Handling of new share acquisition rights and bonds with new share acquisition rights

Not applicable.

(5) Increase/decrease in capital

There will be no increase or decrease in MUFG’s capital as a result of this corporate split.

(6) Rights and obligations acceded to inheritor

On April 2, 2018 the Trust Bank will inherit 103,726 common shares in MUKAM received by MUFG from the Commercial Bank and the Securities Firm by means of a dividend in kind and 400,000 common shares in MUAM (UK) received by MUFG from the Commercial Bank by means of a dividend in kind.

(7) Outlook for fulfillment of obligations

The Trust Bank will inherit no debt from MUFG in this corporate split.

4.	Status after the split

There will be no change in the company name or head office, company representatives or positions, principal business, capital or fiscal year-end of either MUFG or the Trust Bank following the split.

5.	Future outlook

As the inheritor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MUFG, the impact of the split on MUFG’s business results is expected to be negligible.
