Tokyo, November 20, 2006 —Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (MUFG) has today announced that it has revised its dividend forecast on its shares of common stock for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007.

The dividend forecast for each class of preferred shares for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007 shall remain the same as previously announced.

MUFG considers the return of earnings to shareholders to be one of the most important management priorities and makes it a basic policy to make an effort to continuously increase dividends while sustaining the growth of its corporate value and further strengthening its corporate financial standing.

From a medium term perspective, MUFG will aim to increase the dividend ratio to the consolidated net income to approximately 20%, after comprehensive consideration of the business performance and environment for strategic investment, etc.
