Formation of MM Partnership

Tokyo, March 30, 2010—In relation to the integration of the securities companies in Japan that was jointly announced today, Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (“MUFG”:President and CEO Nobuo Kuroyanagi) and Morgan Stanley (“MS”:President and CEO James P. Gorman) have determined to form a partnership under the Civil Code of Japan (“MM Partnership”), the details of which are set forth follows:

1. Overview of the integration structure and formation of MM Partnership

As mentioned in today’s announcement by MUFG and MS, “Integration of Securities Companies in Japan of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. and Morgan Stanley”, on May 1, 2010, their existing securities companies in Japan will be integrated into two companies: Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities, Co., Ltd. (“MUMSS”) and Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities Co., Ltd. (“MSMS”).

Upon the integration, Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Holdings Co., Ltd. (“MUSHD”), MUFG’s intermediary holding company, and Morgan Stanley Japan Holdings Co., Ltd. (“MSJHD”), MS’ intermediary holding company, will directly hold shares representing controlling voting interests in MUMSS and MSMS, respectively (with MUSHD holding a 60% voting interest in MUMSS and MSJHD holding a 51% voting interest in MSMS), and contribute to MM Partnership all other shares to be issued by MUMSS and MSMS. Economic interests in MUMSS and MSMS will be allocated 60:40 between MUSHD and MSJHD as a result of their acquisitions of a 60% interest and a 40% interest in MM Partnership, respectively. MM Partnership will be formed for such purpose, and will be a subsidiary of MUFG.

A cash adjustment is scheduled to be made between MUSHD and MSJHD based on the partnership interests in MM Partnership (MUSHD: 60%, MSJHD: 40%), taking into account the agreed value of the shares to be contributed into MM Partnership and the net asset value of each of MUMSS and MSMS as of the closing.

Pursuant to an agreement in the partnership agreement regarding exercise of the voting rights attached to the MUMSS and MSMS shares to be held by MM Partnership, MUSHD will acquire in substance 49% of the voting rights with respect to MSMS in addition to rights to receive 60% of dividends distributed by MUMSS and MSMS, and MSJHD will acquire in substance 40% of the voting rights with respect to MUMSS in addition to rights to receive 40% of dividends to be distributed by MUMSS and MSMS.
