MUFG, at its discretion, may cancel all or part of the interest payments on the bonds when it deems necessary, in which case MUFG shall not make dividend payments in cash (in case of the preferred shares directly issued by MUFG which rank most senior in priority of payment as to dividends among shares, dividend payment in cash in excess of the product of one-half of the amount of the preferred dividend and a ratio, the numerator of which is the amount of interest to be paid on the bonds and the denominator of which is the amount of interest which should have been paid on the bonds) to shareholders as of the immediately preceding record date of dividend payment, etc.

(2) Interest payable amount limitation

The amount of interest payable on any interest payment date on the bonds shall not exceed the Interest Payable Amount and MUFG shall not pay any amount of interest on the bonds in excess of the Interest Payable Amount.

(The “Interest Payable Amount” shall be calculated by dividing the Adjusted Distributable Amount on a pro rata basis among the amount of interest payable under each bond and each amount of interests and dividends payable on the same interest payment date under each preferred share directly issued by MUFG which rank most senior in priority of payment as to dividends and each parity security.

The “Adjusted Distributable Amount” shall be the distributable amount under the Companies Act as of the interest payment date less the total amount of interests and dividends of the bonds, parity securities and junior securities paid on any day preceding the interest payment date within the fiscal year in which such interest payment date falls.)

The amount of interest on the bonds which have not been paid according to (1) or (2) above shall not be accrued and payment obligation thereof shall be discharged thereafter.

(1) Write-down upon the occurrence of a loss absorption event

When MUFG’s consolidated Common Equity Tier1 capital ratio falls below 5.125%, the principal amount of, and the corresponding amount of interest on, each bond shall be written down to the extent necessary, as determined by MUFG in consultation with the Financial Services Agency of Japan or other relevant regulatory authority, to make MUFG’s consolidated Common Equity Tier1 capital ratio exceed 5.125% by write-down of part of the principal of each bond and write-down or conversion to ordinary shares of all or part of the principal of each other Additional Tier1 liability on a pro rata basis.

(2) Write-down upon the occurrence of a non-viability event

The principal amount of and interests on the bonds shall be written down to zero when it is confirmed that the “specified item 2 measures (tokutei dai nigou sochi),” which are the measures set forth in Article 126-2, Paragraph 1, Item 2 of the Deposit Insurance Act, need to be applied to MUFG.

(3) Write-down upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy proceedings commencement event

The principal amount of and interest on the bonds shall be written down to zero when it is adjudicated that MUFG becomes subject to bankruptcy and other insolvency proceedings.

(The “Reinstatement Event” occurs when MUFG determines that the principal amount of the bonds that have been written-down be reinstated after obtaining prior confirmation of the Financial Services Agency of Japan or any other relevant regulatory authority that MUFG’s consolidated Common Equity Tier1 capital ratio remains at a sufficiently high level after giving effect to the relevant reinstatement of the bonds.)

12.    

   Use of Proceeds    To enhance the regulatory capital of MUFG and its consolidated subsidiaries (including provision of subordinated loans to its consolidated subsidiaries). The bonds will be qualified as MUFG’s Additional Tier1 capital under the current applicable capital adequacy requirements.
