| Total number of voting rights of all shareholders of the Target Company | 965,662 |
Notes:
| 1. | “Total number of voting rights of all shareholders of the Target Company” is the value recorded in the shareholders register on September 30, 2007, received from the Target Company as the most up-to-date information. This number is obtained by adding the 975,562 units of voting rights for shareholders as stand on March 31, 2007 recorded in the financial report for its eighth fiscal period filed by the Target Company on June 25, 2007 to the 108 voting rights for shares issued from April 1, 2007 to September 30, 2007 upon exercise of a portion of stock acquisition rights recorded in that same report in accordance with the resolution at the Target Company’s extraordinary shareholders meeting held on November 27, 2003 and the Target Company’s ordinary general shareholders meeting held on June 25, 2005 and the former Commercial Code, and subtracting from that aggregate the 10,000 voting rights deducted due to the acquisition of treasury stock by the Target Company between August 30, 2007 and September 10, 2007 as well as the 8 voting rights represented by unregistered shares at the Japan Securities Depository Center, Inc. |
| 2. | “Number of voting rights represented by shares, etc. owned by related parties prior to the Tender Offer” is the number recorded on the commencement day of the Tender Offer (November 21,2007). |
| 3. | “Ownership ratio of shares, etc. prior to the Tender Offer” and “ownership ratio of shares, etc. after the Tender Offer” is rounded off to two decimal places. |
| (3) | Calculation method for shares purchased according to the Pro Rata method |
As the total number of shares tendered (232,635 shares) exceeded the number of shares to be purchased (100,000 shares), as described in the public notice of commencement of the Tender Offer and the Tender Offer application, all or part of the excess portion will not be purchased and the Offeror will deliver and make other settlements with respect to the purchase of shares, etc. pursuant to the Pro Rata Method stipulated in Article 27-13, Item 5 of the Law and Article 32 of the Ordinance.
As the rounding of fractions of a share due to use of the Pro Rata method resulted in the total number of shares purchased from tendering shareholders being less than the scheduled number of shares to be purchased in the Tender Offer, the Offeror purchased one share (or, if the number of tendered shares is exceeded as a result of additional purchases per share, the number until the number of tendered shares is reached) for each share tendered from each tendering shareholder in descending order, beginning with shareholders that owned the most rounded-down shares, to the extent that the total number of shares purchased is equal to or more than the number of shares to be purchased by Tender Offer. However, as the purchase by tender from more than one tendering shareholder subject to an equivalent amount of rounding by the use of this method resulted in a number of shares purchased that is more than the number of shares to be purchased, purchase by tender from the equivalent group has been decided by the drawing of lots, to the extent that the number of shares purchased is not less than the total number of shares to be purchased.

There are no changes in MUFG’s previously announced business results forecast for the fiscal year ended March 2008.
4. Policies after the Tender Offer
As a result of the Tender Offer, the holdings ratio of the total voting rights of kabu.com Securities held by BTMU is 40.45%, and the holdings ratio of the total voting rights held by the entire MUFG group rose to 51.13%. It is planned that kabu.com Securities will become a consolidated subsidiary of BTMU, because of the following factors, etc.; (i) The total voting rights of kabu.com Securities held by BTMU exceeds 40%, and (ii) the appointed directors, executive officers or employees of BTMU, or those who were formerly in such positions, who can influence decision making on the financial and business policy of kabu.com Securities constitutes a majority on the board of directors of kabu.com Securities. MUFG is establishing an appropriate business development system for the entire group by further intensifying governance of kabu.com Securities on the background of an even more stable capital alliance.
We aim for MUFG group and kabu.com Securities to employ a mutual business base, to increase synergy of MUFG group that focuses on responding to the requirements for asset management via the internet, improved services to MUFG group customers and rapid growth in the business of managing individual financial assets.
To help achieve this goal, we plan to place computers in BTMU branches to allow customers to experience transactions via kabu.com Securities. More specifically, we plan to place computers in a selection of the “Private Banking Offices” member stores in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka for major customers with deposit assets during this business year, and further improve face-to-face services to our customers and advance internet intermediaries for financial products.
