3. Reasons
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 efforts to continuously increase dividends while sustaining corporate value growth and further strengthening its corporate financial standing. After comprehensive consideration of its business performance and other factors, MUFG decided to pay ¥9 per share as the interim dividends for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015, an increase of ¥1 from the previously forecasted ¥8. Additionally, MUFG revised the year-end dividend forecast from previous ¥8 to ¥9 per share, marking an increase of ¥1. As a result, the annual dividends are forecasted to be ¥18 per share, a ¥2 increase from the previous forecast and the actual result for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014.
