Notice concerning Abolition of the Shareholder Special Benefit Plan

Tokyo, May 15, 2017 — Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (MUFG) announced today that it has decided to abolish the shareholder special benefit plan as stated below.

 

1.	Reasons for Abolition of the Shareholder Special Benefit Plan

MUFG has offered the shareholder special benefit plan with the aim of showing its appreciation to shareholders for their support and increasing the number of shareholders. MUFG has presented a complimentary gift (towel, etc.) to shareholders who are listed as holding 100 shares or more in the shareholder registry as of September 30 of each year and a discount coupon for the purchase of group companies’ products and services to those listed as holding 500 shares or more.

As a result of careful consideration of fairness in returning earnings to shareholders, MUFG has decided to abolish the shareholder special benefit plan based on a judgment that it is appropriate to follow its basic policy to aim for a stable and continuous increase in dividends per share through growth in profits.

MUFG will continue to recognize the return of earnings to shareholders as one of the most important management priorities and strive to enhance its corporate value.

 

2.	Timing of Abolition of the Shareholder Special Benefit Plan

MUFG will abolish the shareholder special benefit plan with providing it to shareholders who were listed as holding 100 shares or more in the shareholder registry as of September 30, 2016. Coupons distributed to applicable shareholders will be available until December 29, 2017.
