| 3. | Reasons |
MUFG’s basic policies call for continuously seeking to improve shareholder returns, focusing on dividends in the pursuit of an optimal balance with solid equity capital and strategic investment for growth.
MUFG will aim for the stable and sustainable increase in dividends per share through profit growth, with a dividend payout ratio target of 40%.
Based on these policies, MUFG decided to pay ¥11 per share as the interim dividends for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019, an increase of ¥1 from the previously forecasted ¥10. Additionally, MUFG revised theyear-end dividend forecast from previous ¥10 to ¥11 per share, making an increase of ¥1. As a result, the annual dividends are forecasted to be ¥22 per share, a ¥2 increase from the previous forecast and a ¥3 increase from the actual result for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018.
