Notice concerning Change of Subsidiary

Tokyo, August 26, 2008 — Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (MUFG) hereby announces that its special purpose company named MUFG Capital Finance 7 Limited, which was established in July, 2008 for the purpose of the issuance of preferred securities (“Non-dilutive Preferred Securities”), and the special purpose companies of MUFG’s consolidated subsidiaries, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. (BTMU) named BTMU Preferred Capital 7 Limited and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation (MUTB) named MUTB Preferred Capital Limited, which were respectively established in the same month, will increase their stated capital. As a result, MUFG Capital Finance 7 will become a Specified Subsidiary (Tokutei Kogaisha) of MUFG. The percentage of voting rights of each special purpose company directly or indirectly held by MUFG against the total number of voting rights will not change because the Non-dilutive Preferred Securities to be issued by each special purpose company are non-voting securities.

 

1.	Reason for the Change

MUFG, BTMU and MUTB each hold all of the common shares of their respective special purpose companies mentioned above. Due to the payment for the Non-dilutive Preferred Securities, which is scheduled to occur on September 2, 2008, the amount of the stated capital of MUFG Capital Finance 7 Limited is expected to exceed 10% of the amount of the stated capital of MUFG. Therefore, MUFG Capital Finance 7 Limited is expected to become a Specified Subsidiary of MUFG .
