[For Reference]

 

1. Japanese secondary offering by way of over-allotment and other matters

The Japanese secondary offering by way of over-allotment as mentioned in “3. Secondary Offering of Shares (Japanese Secondary Offering by way of Over-Allotment)” above (the “Japanese Secondary Offering by way of Over-Allotment”), is a secondary offering in Japan to be made in relation to (a) the Japanese Public Offering mentioned in (4) (i) of “1. Issuance of New Shares by way of Offering (Public Offering)” and (b) the Japanese Secondary Offering by way of Underwriting mentioned in (3) (i) of “2. Secondary Offering of Shares by way of Sale of Treasury Shares” for shares of common stock of MUFG, in a number not to exceed 65,200,000 shares, that will be borrowed by Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. (“Nomura Securities”) from certain shareholder(s) of MUFG, taking into account market demand for the offerings mentioned in (a) and (b) above and other conditions. The number of shares to be offered in the Japanese Secondary Offering by way of Over-Allotment is scheduled to be 65,200,000 shares; however, this is the maximum number of shares to be sold, and such number may decrease, or the Japanese Secondary Offering by way of Over-Allotment may be cancelled entirely, depending on market demand and other conditions.

A meeting of the Board of Directors may be held on Tuesday, November 25, 2008, and the above may be changed at the meeting.

In connection with the Japanese Secondary Offering by way of Over-Allotment, the Board of Directors of MUFG has resolved, at the meeting held on Tuesday, November 18, 2008, that MUFG will issue 65,200,000 shares of its common stock to Nomura Securities by way of third-party allotment (the “Capital Increase by way of Third-Party Allotment”), with the payment date set to be Wednesday, January 14, 2009, in order for Nomura Securities to obtain the number of shares necessary to return the shares of common stock of MUFG that were borrowed by Nomura Securities from certain shareholder(s) of MUFG, as mentioned above (the “Borrowed Shares”).

Nomura Securities may also purchase shares of common stock of MUFG (the “Syndicate Cover Transactions”) on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc., up to the number of shares to be offered in the Japanese Secondary Offering by way of Over-Allotment, for the purpose of returning the Borrowed Shares. Such Syndicate Cover Transactions would be made during the period from (a) the day immediately following the last day of the subscription period for the Japanese Public Offering, the Japanese Secondary Offering by way of Underwriting and the Japanese Public Offering by way of Over-Allotment to (b) Tuesday, January 6, 2009 (the “Syndicate Cover Transaction Period”). All of the shares of common stock of MUFG purchased by Nomura Securities during the Syndicate Cover Transaction Period will be used to return the Borrowed Shares. During the Syndicate Cover Transaction Period, Nomura Securities may decide not to conduct any Syndicate Cover Transaction or may decide to terminate the Syndicate Cover Transactions before the number of shares purchased reaches the number of shares offered in the Japanese Secondary Offering by way of Over-Allotment.

Nomura Securities may conduct stabilizing transactions along with the Japanese Public Offering, the Japanese Secondary Offering by way of Underwriting and the Japanese Secondary Offering by way of Over-Allotment. The shares of common stock of MUFG purchased through such stabilizing transactions may be used, in part or in whole, to return the Borrowed Shares.

 

 

Note: This press release does not constitute an offer of any securities for sale. This press release has been prepared for the sole purpose of publicly announcing that MUFG has resolved matters relating to the issuance of new shares, the sale of treasury shares and the secondary offering of our shares, and the withdrawal of the registration in Japan for future equity issuances, and not for the purpose of soliciting investment or engaging in any other similar activities within or outside Japan. Investors should carefully review a prospectus prepared by MUFG prior to making any investment decisions.

This press release is not an offer of securities for sale in the United States. The securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933. Public offering of securities to be made in the United States will be made by means of a prospectus that may be obtained from MUFG.

With respect to the number of shares obtained by deducting (a) the number of shares purchased through stabilization transactions and Syndicate Cover Transactions that are to be used to return the borrowed shares from (b) the number of shares to be offered in the Japanese Secondary Offering by way of Over-Allotment, Nomura Securities will accept the allotment under the Capital Increase by way of Third-Party Allotment and will purchase an equivalent number of shares of common stock of MUFG. As a result, a part or all of the shares to be issued under the Capital Increase by way of Third-Party Allotment may not be subscribed for, which may result in a decrease in the determined number of shares to be issued under the Capital Increase by way of Third-Party Allotment, or in the cancellation of the issuance, due to forfeiture.

Whether or not the Japanese Secondary Offering by way of Over-Allotment is to be conducted, as well as the number of shares to be sold in the event the Japanese Secondary Offering by way of Over-Allotment is to be conducted, will be determined on the Determination Date. If the Japanese Secondary Offering by way of Over-Allotment is cancelled entirely, Nomura Securities will not conduct the borrowing of shares of common stock of MUFG mentioned above. Accordingly, no new shares will be issued under the Capital Increase by way of Third-Party Allotment due to forfeiture, since Nomura Securities will not accept the allotment and will not subscribe shares under the Capital Increase by way of Third-Party Allotment. Further, no Syndicate Cover Transactions on the Tokyo Stock Exchange will be made.

The Syndicate Cover Transactions will be made by Nomura Securities after consultations with Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Co., Ltd. The stabilizing transactions will be made by Nomura Securities upon consultations on the policy with Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Co., Ltd., and Nomura Securities will consult with Morgan Stanley Japan Securities Co., Ltd. and JPMorgan Securities Japan Co., Ltd when appropriate.
