Notice concerning Change of Subsidiary

Tokyo, March 10, 2006 — Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (MUFG; President & CEO: Nobuo Kuroyanagi) hereby announces that its special purpose companies named MUFG Capital Finance 1 Limited, MUFG Capital Finance 2 Limited and MUFG Capital Finance 3 Limited, which were established in February, 2006 for the purpose of the issuance of preferred securities (“Non-dilutive Preferred Securities”), and the special purpose companies of MUFG’s consolidated subsidiary The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. (BTMU; President: Nobuo Kuroyanagi) named BTMU Preferred Capital 1 Limited, BTMU Preferred Capital 2 Limited and BTMU Preferred Capital 3 Limited, which were established in the same month, will increase their capital stock. As a result, each of MUFG Capital Finance 1 Limited and BTMU Preferred Capital 1 Limited will become a Specified Subsidiary (Tokutei Kogaisha) of MUFG. The number of voting rights of each special purpose company directly or indirectly held by MUFG, and the percentage of such rights 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 and BTMU each hold all of the common shares of their respective special purpose companies mentioned above. Due to the payment for Non-dilutive Preferred Securities, which is scheduled to occur on March 17, 2006, the amount of capital stock of MUFG Capital Finance 1 Limited and BTMU Preferred Capital 1 Limited is expected to exceed 10% of the amount of capital stock of MUFG. Therefore, each of the special purpose companies is expected to become a Specified Subsidiary of MUFG.
