Regarding the Change of Date Concerning the Business Integration

of The Bank of Ikeda, Ltd. and The Senshu Bank Ltd.

Tokyo, November 25, 2008—Today, The Bank of Ikeda Ltd. (Ikeda) (President Moritaka Hattori) and The Senshu Bank Ltd. (Senshu) (President Norimasa Yoshida), a consolidated subsidiary of The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. (BTMU) (President Katsunori Nagayasu) signed an agreement to change the date of the business integration, which had been expected to occur on April 1, 2009, with BTMU, which agrees to this business integration.

This change of the date concerning the business integration was agreed to after considering the recent status and prospects of the capital market. We understand that steady progress is being made in the consideration and consultation regarding the business integration of Ikeda and Senshu, in light of the items that have been agreed to and the implementation of the cooperative measures between Ikeda and Senshu thus far.

Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. and BTMU believe that this business integration is highly significant since it contributes to the stabilization of regional finance and the sound development of the regional economy in the Kansai region. Ikeda and Senshu are planning to establish the new company on October 1, 2009, after the execution of a definitive agreement concerning this business integration, which is planned for by May 29, 2009. MUFG and BTMU will support this effort by the two banks, toward such business integration.
