Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc.

Notice regarding Losses on write-down of securities

for the three months ended December 31, 2008

 

Tokyo, January 15, 2009—Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (President & CEO Nobuo Kuroyanagi, “MUFG”) hereby announces that The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., a subsidiary of MUFG, expects to recognize losses on write-down of marketable domestic equity securities, of which fair values are significantly deteriorated, for the three months ended December 31, 2008.

(in billions of Japanese yen, except percentages)

(A)		The amount of Losses on write-down of marketable domestic equity securities of The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. for the three months ended December 31, 2008		257.0
(B)		Consolidated Net Assets as of March 31, 2008 A/B × 100		9,599.7 2.6%
(C)		Consolidated Ordinary Profits for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 A/C × 100		1,029.0 24.9%
(D)		Consolidated Net Income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 A/D × 100		636.6 40.3%

In addition to the above, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation, a subsidiary of MUFG, expects to recognize losses of 31.0 billion yen on write-down of marketable domestic equity securities for the three months ended December 31, 2008.

Because MUFG Group uses a reversal method for recording losses on write-down of marketable domestic equity securities at quarter ends, the amount of losses on write-down of marketable domestic equity securities for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009 may fluctuate depending on the share prices at March 31, 2009 and other factors.

MUFG’s financial results other than the above are currently being prepared and will be announced at the earnings release for the third quarter ended December 31, 2008.
