Purchase of 50% of BTMs Head Office and Nihonbashi Annex
Tokyo, July 21, 2005 The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd. (BTM; President: Nobuo Kuroyanagi), a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Tokyo Financial Group, Inc. (MTFG; President and CEO: Nobuo Kuroyanagi), announced that it has reached an agreement, as set out below, to purchase from Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd. (Mitsubishi Estate) the equivalent of 50% of the land and buildings of each of BTMs headquarters and Nihonbashi annex. Currently these are jointly owned by BTM and Mitsubishi Estate. Details of the purchase, which will take place on August 31, 2005, are shown below.
As it is planned that the land and buildings will be the infrastructure for the new bank that will be formed following management integration with the UFJ group (subject to approval by the relevant regulatory authorities), it was deemed appropriate that the purchase should be made from the viewpoint of the stability of facilities management and also to maintain operational freedom.
The equivalent of 50% of this land and buildings was sold to Mitsubishi Estate on March 30, 1999.
