Notice concerning Additional Entrustment for the

Acquisition of Shares Based on the Stock Compensation Plan

Tokyo, May 15, 2017 — Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (MUFG) has announced that, at the Compensation Committee’s meeting held on November 14, 2016, MUFG resolved to introduce a stock compensation plan (“the Plan”) using a structure called a Board Incentive Plan Trust (BIP Trust) for directors, corporate executive officers, executive officers, and senior fellows (Outside directors and directors serving as audit committee members are excluded. Hereinafter these eligible directors and other executives are collectively referred to as “Directors, etc.”) of MUFG and four core companies of the MUFG Group (The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation, Mitsubishi UFJ Securities Holdings Co., Ltd., and Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities Co., Ltd. (These four companies are collectively referred to as the “Core Business Companies.” MUFG and the Core Business Companies are collectively referred to as the “Covered Companies.”)). At the Compensation Committee’s meeting held today, MUFG resolved to entrust additional money to the trust based on the Plan (“the Trust”) for the acquisition of shares.

For the details of the Plan, refer to “Transition from a Stock Compensation Type Stock Option Plan for Directors and Other Executives (Share Acquisition Rights) to a Stock Compensation Plan Using a Trust Structure” dated November 14, 2016.

1. Reason for the additional entrustment and revision of the maximum amount of trust money

By implementing the transition from a stock option compensation plan to the Plan, MUFG, in November 2016, established the Trust for the purpose of managing and operating the Plan together with the performance-based compensation plan in an integral manner. However, due to factors including the subsequent fluctuation in the price of MUFG shares, the number of MUFG shares acquired through the Trust is now expected to fall short of the total number of MUFG shares to be granted to the Directors, etc., as resolved by each of the Covered Companies, and hence MUFG has decided to entrust additional money to the Trust, so as to acquire 1,251,200 shares of MUFG from the stock market.

In conjunction with the above, the maximum amount of trust money of the Trust shall be revised, as per the following. This matter has been resolved at the meeting held today of the Compensation Committee which is chaired by an outside director and the majority of which comprises outside directors.
