Return of Proxy Portion of BTM Pension Fund
Tokyo, August 14, 2003 --- Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group, Inc. (MTFG;
President: Shigemitsu Miki) announced today that its subsidiary, The Bank of
Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd. (BTM) received approval of a waiver of its future
obligations in respect of the proxy portion of its pension fund, The Bank of
Tokyo-Mitsubishi Pension Fund. The approval was received from the Minister of
Health, Labour and Welfare on August 1, 2003, based on the Law Concerning
Defined-Benefit Corporate Pension Plans.
BTM will apply the transitional measures laid down in the `Practical Guideline
Concerning Retirement Benefit Accounting (Interim Report)'- Report of the
Accounting Committee of the Japanese Institute of Certified Public Accountants
No. 13, Section 47-2. As a result, the elimination of BTM's retirement benefit
obligations in respect of the proxy portion of its pension fund has been
recognized as of the date of approval.
In consequence of the above, an extraordinary profit of approximately 26 billion
Japanese yen is expected to be recorded for the current fiscal year under
Japanese GAAP.
This event is not expected to have any material effect on MTFG's previously
announced business forecast for the current fiscal year.
