English Translation of Excerpts from Quarterly Securities Report Filed in Japan

This document is an English translation of selected information included in the Quarterly Securities Report for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 filed by Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (“MUFG” or “we”) with the Kanto Local Financial Bureau, the Ministry of Finance of Japan, on February 14, 2019 (the “Quarterly Securities Report”). An English translation of certain information included in the Quarterly Securities Report was previously submitted in a report on Form 6-K dated February 4, 2019. Accordingly, this document should be read together with the previously submitted report.

The Quarterly Securities Report has been prepared and filed in Japan in accordance with applicable Japanese disclosure requirements as well as generally accepted accounting principles in Japan (“J-GAAP”). There are significant differences between J-GAAP and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. In addition, the Quarterly Securities Report is intended to update prior disclosures filed by MUFG in Japan and discusses selected recent developments in the context of those prior disclosures. Accordingly, the Quarterly Securities Report may not contain all of the information that is important to you. For a more complete discussion of the background to information provided in the Quarterly Securities Report disclosure, please see our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 and the other reports filed with or submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission by MUFG.

Risks Relating to Our Business

We describe below some major developments and changes to update our risk factor disclosure previously included in our annual securities report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 filed in Japan on June 28, 2018. The updates below are not a complete update of the prior disclosure, but instead intended to explain only the significant developments and changes that we believe may have a material impact on the risks to our business and other risks. The discussion below contains forward-looking statements, which, unless specifically described otherwise, reflect our understanding as of the date of filing of the Quarterly Securities Report. On April 1, 2018, our major subsidiary, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., was renamed MUFG Bank, Ltd.

The numbering of the subheading of the risk disclosure below corresponds to the numbering of the subheading of the same risk disclosure in “Risks Relating to Our Business” in our most recent annual securities report filed in Japan.

 

5.

Risks relating to our financial markets operations

We undertake extensive financial market operations involving a variety of financial instruments, including derivatives, and hold large volumes of such financial instruments. As a result, our financial condition and results of operations are subject to the risks relating to these operations and holdings. The primary risks are fluctuations in interest rates in and outside of Japan, foreign currency exchange rates and securities prices. For example, an increase in interest rates in and outside of Japan may adversely affect the value of our fixed income securities portfolio. Specifically, interest rates may increase in the event that Japanese government bonds decline in value due to such factors as a heightened market expectation for tapering, cessation or revision of the “quantitative and qualitative monetary easing with yield curve control” program in response to further progress in the anti-deflation measures in Japan and a decline in confidence in Japan’s fiscal health and sovereign creditworthiness, or in the event that interest rates on U.S. Treasury securities rise due to such factors as acceleration in the pace of interest rate increases in the United States. If interest rates in and outside of Japan rise for these or other reasons, we may incur significant losses on sales of, and valuation losses on, our government bond portfolio. In addition, an appreciation of the Japanese yen will cause the value of our foreign currency-denominated investments on our financial statements to decline and may cause us to recognize losses on sales or valuation losses. We manage market risk, which is the risk of incurring losses due to various market changes including interest rates in and outside of Japan, foreign currency exchange rates and securities prices, by separating market risk into “general market risk” and “specific risk.” General market risk is the risk of incurring losses due to changes in overall markets, while specific risk is the risk of incurring losses due to changes in the prices of individual financial instruments, including stocks and bonds, which fluctuate separately from changes in the overall direction of the market. To measure these risks, we use a method that statistically estimates how much the market value of our portfolio may decline over a fixed period of time in the future based on past market changes, and we consider the sum of our general market risk and specific risk calculated by this method as our market risk exposure. However, because of its inherent nature, our market risk exposure calculated in this manner cannot always reflect the actual risk that we face, and we may realize actual losses that are greater than our estimated market risk exposure.

In addition, if the “quantitative and qualitative monetary easing with yield curve control” program is maintained in Japan for an extended period, or if the negative interest rate is lowered from the current level, market interest rates may decline further, and the yield on the Japanese government bonds and other financial instruments that we hold may also decline.

Furthermore, we may voluntarily modify, or may be required by changes in accounting rules or otherwise to modify, the valuation method and other accounting treatment we apply to the financial instruments we hold in connection with our markets operations. In such case, our results of operations may be adversely affected.

19.

Risks of receiving potential claims or sanctions regarding inappropriate or illegal practices or other conduct from our customers or regulatory authorities

We conduct our business subject to ongoing regulations and associated compliance risks (including the effects of changes in laws, regulations, policies and voluntary codes of practice in Japan and other markets where we operate). In the current regulatory environment, we are subject to various regulatory inquiries or investigations from time to time in connection with various aspects of our business and operations. Our compliance risk management systems and programs may not be fully effective in preventing all violations of laws, regulations and rules.

Our failure to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including those relating to money laundering, financial crimes, and other inappropriate or illegal transactions, may lead to penalties, fines, public reprimands, damage to reputation, issuance of business improvement and other administrative orders, enforced suspension of operations or, in extreme cases, withdrawal of authorization to operate. These consequences may harm our reputation resulting in loss of customer or market confidence in us or otherwise in deterioration of our business environment, and may adversely affect our business and results of operations. Our ability to obtain regulatory approvals for future strategic initiatives may also be adversely affected.

In December 2012, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ agreed to make a payment to the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, or OFAC, to settle potential civil liability for apparent violations of certain U.S. sanctions regulations from 2006 to 2007. In addition, in June 2013, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ entered into a consent agreement with the New York State Department of Financial Services, or NYDFS, to resolve issues relating to certain U.S. dollar payments that were routed through New York from 2002 to 2007. Under the terms of the agreement with NYDFS, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ agreed to make a civil monetary payment to NYDFS and retain an independent consultant to conduct a compliance review of the relevant controls and related matters in Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ’s current operations. In addition, in November 2014, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ entered into a consent agreement with NYDFS to resolve issues relating to instructions given to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or PwC, and the disclosures made to NYDFS in connection with Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ’s 2007 and 2008 voluntary investigation of Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ’s U.S. dollar clearing activity toward countries under U.S. economic sanctions. Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ had hired PwC to conduct a historical transaction review report in connection with that investigation. Under the terms of the agreement with NYDFS, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ made a payment of the stipulated amount to NYDFS, and agreed to take actions on persons involved in the matter at that time, relocate its U.S. BSA/AML and OFAC sanctions compliance programs to New York, and extend, if regarded as necessary by NYDFS, the period during which an independent consultant is responsible for assessing Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ’s internal controls regarding compliance with applicable laws and regulations related to U.S. economic sanctions. On November 9, 2017, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ entered into a Stipulation and Consent to the Issuance of a Consent Order with the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, or OCC, under which Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ agreed to the entry by the OCC of a Consent Order that includes remedial terms and conditions that are substantively the same as those included in the consent agreements that Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ had reached with NYDFS in June 2013 and November 2014. This Consent Order, which the OCC executed, enables the OCC to supervise MUFG Bank’s plans to enhance its internal controls and compliance program relating to OFAC sanctions requirements. The Stipulation and Consent with the OCC followed MUFG’s conversion of the U.S. Branches and Agencies of MUFG Bank and Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation, including MUFG Bank’s New York Branch, from state-licensed branches and agencies under the supervision of state regulatory agencies, including NYDFS, to federally licensed branches and agencies under the supervision of the OCC. MUFG Bank is undertaking necessary actions relating to these matters. In addition, MUFG Bank is currently engaged in litigation with NYDFS with regard to the conversion of its New York Branch license as well as purported violations of law alleged to have occurred prior to the federal license conversion. These developments or other similar events may result in additional regulatory actions against us or agreements to make significant settlement payments.

We have received requests and subpoenas for information from government agencies in some jurisdictions that are conducting investigations into past submissions made by panel members, including us, to the bodies that set various interbank benchmark rates as well as investigations into foreign exchange related practices of global financial institutions. We are cooperating with these investigations and have been conducting an internal investigation among other things. In connection with these matters, we and other panel members and global financial institutions have been named as defendants in a number of civil lawsuits, including putative class actions, in the United States. These developments or other similar events may expose us to significant adverse financial and other consequences.

In July 2018, Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities Co., Ltd., or MUMSS, our consolidated subsidiary, received an order from the Japanese Ministry of Finance suspending the special entitlements of MUMSS as a Japanese Government Bond Market Special Participant, and also received an order from the Japanese Financial Services Agency imposing an administrative monetary penalty, each based on a finding of market manipulation relating to 10-year Japanese government bond futures.

Additional Japanese GAAP Financial Information for the nine months ended December 31, 2018

 

1.

Changes in the Scope of Consolidation or Application of the Equity Method

 

  I.

Significant changes in the scope of consolidation

Global Open Network, Inc. and other two companies were newly included in the scope of consolidation due to new establishment.

 

  II.

Significant changes in the scope of application of the equity method

MUFG began to apply the equity method of accounting to PT Bank Danamon Indonesia, Tbk. (“Danamon”) in the six months ended September 30, 2018 as a result of a share acquisition by MUFG Bank, Ltd. (“the Bank”), a consolidated subsidiary of MUFG.

(Additional information)

(Equity method applied to Bank Danamon due to additional share acquisition)

On August 3, 2018, the Bank increased its equity interest in Danamon to 40.0% by acquiring an additional 20.1% of the outstanding shares of Danamon from Asia Financial (Indonesia) Pte. Ltd. (“AFI”) and other entities (together with AFI, the “Sellers”). As a result, Danamon became an equity method affiliate of both MUFG and the Bank.

 

  1.

Objectives of the transaction

The Bank intends to establish an integrated and comprehensive services platform that serves as a gateway for clients wishing to make inroads into Indonesia’s burgeoning economy as well as local companies keen on expanding into the region. This investment is also expected to strategically allow the Bank to benefit from Danamon’s foothold in the developing local retail and small and medium enterprises (SME) segments to deepen its banking franchise in Indonesia.

 

  2.

Outline of the proposed transaction

The Bank entered into conditional share purchase agreements with the Sellers on December 26, 2017, to acquire an aggregate equity interest of 73.8% in Danamon, subject to applicable regulatory approvals.

This strategic investment by the Bank will be executed through three steps. Upon the completion of the three steps, Danamon will be a consolidated subsidiary of MUFG and the Bank.

 

  Step 1:

On December 29, 2017, the Bank acquired an initial 19.9% equity interest (1,907,344,030 shares) in Danamon from the Sellers, based on a price of IDR 8,323 (approximately ¥70) per share at an aggregate investment amount of IDR 15,875 billion (approximately ¥133.4 billion). The price was based on a price book-value ratio of 2.0 calculated on the basis of Danamon’s net assets as of September 30, 2017, with certain adjustments applied.

 

  Step 2:

On August 3, 2018, as stated above, the Bank acquired an additional 20.1% equity interest (1,926,513,316 shares) in Danamon from the Sellers, based on a price of IDR 8,921 (approximately ¥69) per share at an aggregate investment amount of IDR 17,187 billion (approximately ¥132.3 billion). The price was based on a price book-value ratio of 2.0 calculated on the basis of Danamon’s net assets as of June 30, 2018, with certain adjustments applied. As a result, Danamon became an equity method affiliate of both MUFG and the Bank.

 

  Step 3:

The Bank intends to seek the necessary approvals to increase its equity interest in Danamon above 40%, and this will provide an opportunity for all other existing Danamon shareholders to either remain as shareholders or receive cash from the Bank. With the closing of Step 3, the Bank’s final equity interest in Danamon is expected to be 73.8% or larger. The price for Danamon’s shares in Step 3 will be calculated in a manner similar to Step 1 and Step 2.

Contingent liabilities

(Litigation)

In the ordinary course of business, MUFG is subject to various litigation and regulatory matters. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, MUFG establishes a Reserve for Contingent Losses arising from litigation and regulatory matters when they are determined to be probable in their occurrences and the probable loss amount can be reasonably estimated. Based upon current knowledge and consultation with counsel, management believes the eventual outcome of such litigation and regulatory matters, where losses are probable and the probable loss amounts can be reasonably estimated, would not have a material adverse effect on MUFG’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Management also believes the amount of loss that is reasonably possible, but not probable, from various litigation and regulatory matters is not material to MUFG’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On October 31, 2018, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation (“the Trust Bank”), a consolidated subsidiary of MUFG, entered into a Share Sale Deed with Australian financial group Commonwealth Bank of Australia (“CBA”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Colonial First State Group Limited (the “Seller”) to acquire 100% of the shares in each of nine subsidiaries of the Seller, which collectively represent CBA’s global asset management business known as Colonial First State Global Asset Management (“CFSGAM”), from the Seller (the “Proposed Transaction”), subject to applicable regulatory and other approvals and certain other conditions.

 

  (1)

Objectives of the transaction

MUFG has stated in the current Medium-Term Business Plan that its Asset Management & Investor Services Business Group aims to become “the unparalleled industry leader in Japan as well as a global player boasting significant presence overseas”.

CFSGAM is a global asset management group with approximately AUD 210 billion in assets under management (“AuM”) and is currently the third largest asset management group by AuM in Asian markets excluding Japan. CFSGAM offers a wide range of products including equities, fixed income and alternatives, and has specialist capabilities in Asian and emerging equity markets, alternatives (property and infrastructure), as well as passive and other products.

Through this Proposed Transaction, MUFG expects to be able to meet various client needs by expanding its product lineup and enhancing its presence as the largest asset management firm in the Asia and Oceania region. MUFG aims to work together with CFSGAM to continue delivering value to our current and future clients.
