(Reference) Corporate Governance Highlight
Fundamental Concepts
The Company will aim for sustainable growth and the increase of corporate value over the medium- to long-term, in consideration of the perspectives of its stakeholders, including shareholders as well as customers, employees and local communities. The Company will aim to realize effective corporate governance through fair and highly transparent management based on the guidance provided by MUFG Corporate Governance Policies established in May 2015.
Steps to Improve Our Governance Structure
Since its establishment, the Company has worked to build a stable and effective corporate governance structure, putting emphasis on ensuring external oversight. In June 2015, the Company transitioned to the “company with three committees” governance structure. The functions of oversight and execution in the holding company are separated, thereby strengthening the oversight function of the board of directors and the committee system has also been reorganized for more effective governance. We are aiming for a governance framework that will be more familiar and transparent to overseas stakeholders, in line with our status as aG-SIB (Global Systemically Important Bank Group).
In June 2017, two foreign nationals were invited as outside directors in an effort to further diversify the board of directors, and in June 2018 a system was established in which outside directors made up the majority of the board of directors. In addition, upon the approval of the Second Item of Business as proposed at this Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, the number of outside directors will increase by one, thus further improving the quality of discussion by bringing in outside perspectives and strengthening the oversight function.

Evaluation of the Board of Directors
Since 2013, the Company has retained external consultants to evaluate the Board of Directors. These consultants conduct questionnaire surveys of and interviews with all of the directors regarding the composition of committees, advance preparations, the content of discussions, the status of operations and contributions, as well as assessments of the execution system. The results of these questionnaire surveys and interviews are reported to and discussed by the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board of Directors.
In fiscal year 2017, the Company invited 2non-Japanese outside directors based on the results of the evaluation of the Board of Directors in fiscal year 2016. As a result, the fiscal year 2017 evaluation results assessed that such an initiative helped advance the globalization of the Board of Directors and bring in new perspectives in the areas of overseas business and risk governance, confirming the conduct of broader and deeper discussions and the substantial improvement of corporate governance. Meanwhile, because the total number of directors and the ratio of inside and outside directors were raised as issues, in June 2018 the Company created a system in which the majority of members are outside directors.

Business Report for the Fourteenth Fiscal Year (April 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019)
1. | Matters Concerning the Current State of the Company |
(1) | Business Operations and Results of the Group |
a. | Major Business Matters |
The group/MUFG (the “Group”) is a corporate group that is comprised of the Company, 147 subsidiaries, 76 subsidiary entities, etc., and 55 affiliated corporate entities, etc. The Group conducts business in areas that include mainly commercial banking, trust banking and securities, and also credit cards and consumer finance, leasing, and asset management, and other areas, with the aim of becoming the world’s most trusted financial group.
b. | Financial and Economic Environment |
An overview of the financial and economic environment in fiscal year 2018 reveals the global economy remained solid on the whole, supported by a robust labour market and wage situation, particularly in developed countries. Nevertheless, there was an increased sense that the global economy was decelerating during the latter half of the fiscal year. This was mainly due to a marked slowdown in economic activities, such as production and trade, and was exacerbated by a rise in uncertainty caused by theUS-China trade friction and other government policies. The US economy remained firm on the back of a favorable labor market and wage situation, but there were several sources of disruption: friction with China over trade and a government shutdown due to conflict between the ruling and opposition parties. In China, there was a clear economic slowdown caused by an increase in pressure from structural adjustments, such as deleveraging, as well as downward pressure from exports owing to tariff hikes by the US. This slowing of the Chinese economy acted as a weight on the exports and production of other Asian regions such as ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) and NIEs (Newly Industrialized Economies), as well as Europe, where there was also uncertainty on the political front from Britain departing the EU and other issues. Meanwhile, Japan’s economy was also affected by a deceleration in external demand, as well as record-high summer temperatures and a series of natural disasters. During the latter half of the year, there was an emerging sense that the Japanese economy is plateauing, yet solid corporate and household incomes continued to support investment and consumption.
32
As for the financial situation during the first half of the year, the Japanese yen followed a gradual trend of depreciation against the US dollar and stock prices were robust. However, as uncertainty about the future of the global economy rose, the yen appreciated and there was a significant fall in stock prices towards the end of the calendar year. The US and EU made steady progress with their large-scale monetary easing exit strategies; the US raised interest rates three times (June, September, December) and the European Central Bank ended its asset purchasing programme. However, since the start of the calendar year, central banks have revised their exit strategies due to the economic slowdown and downward pressure on interest rates has risen. In Japan, the Bank of Japan introduced its monetary policy, “Strengthening the Framework for Continuous Powerful Monetary Easing” in July. While there has been a slight increase in the size of fluctuations in long-term interest rates, they have remained at low levels on the whole as the Bank of Japan maintains its aforementioned policy framework which will increase the longevity of its powerful monetary easing.
c. | Business Operations and Results of the Group (Results of Fiscal Year 2018) |
Under such environments, with respect to the consolidated results of the Group in fiscal year 2018, ordinary profits were ¥1,348.0 billion and profits attributable to owners of parent were ¥872.6 billion.
Consolidated gross profits were ¥3,725.7 billion, marking a decrease of ¥128.5 billion from the previous fiscal year. Deposit revenue and lending revenue decreased domestically due to continued low interest rates, but overseas both deposit revenue and lending revenue rose. As a result, net interest income as a whole was ¥1,922.7 billion, an increase of ¥15.9 billion from the previous fiscal year. Net fees and commissions income was ¥1,303.9 billion, down ¥23.2 billion from the previous fiscal year, owing to a decrease in investment management product sales commissions, despite an increase in primary securities business, contract business, and consumer finance. Net trading profits and net other business profits were ¥373.6 billion, a decrease of ¥124.0 billion from the previous fiscal year due to a decline in net profits associated with global markets business. General and administrative (G&A) expenses were ¥2,647.1 billion, marking an increase of ¥25.7 billion from the previous fiscal year, due to overseas business expansion and increases in expenses for complying with regulations. As a result of the above, net business profits totaled ¥1,078.5 billion, marking a decrease of ¥154.2 billion from the previous fiscal year. Total credit costs were ¥5.8 billion, marking a decrease of ¥40.2 billion from the previous fiscal year. Net gains (losses) on equity securities resulted in gains of ¥112.6 billion. Equity in gains of the equity method investees amounted to ¥284.3 billion. As for extraordinary gains (losses), losses of ¥202.7 billion were recorded due to the impact of impairment loss of ¥148.6 billion primarily resulting from a fundamental review of the system integration plan at Mitsubishi UFJ NICOS.
33
As a result of the above, profits attributable to owners of parent were ¥872.6 billion, marking a decrease of ¥116.9 billion from the previous fiscal year, falling below the earnings target of ¥950.0 billion.
Under the regulatory standard (Basel III), Consolidated Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio, Consolidated Tier 1 capital ratio, and Consolidated Total capital ratio were 12.23%, 13.90%, and 16.03%, respectively. All of these met the required level as of March 31, 2019. The liquidity coverage ratio*1 was 141.2%, also meeting the required level.
In addition, the risk-monitored loan ratio that shows the soundness of loan assets, remained at a low level of 0.90%.
Annual dividends per common stock for fiscal year 2018 are expected to be ¥22, an increase of ¥3 from the fiscal year 2017*2.

(Operations and Results by Business)
In order to demonstrate the strengths of its comprehensive financial group, the Group has introduced the business group system where the business groups established under the holding company control their subsidiaries to promote strategies across the Group. On July 1, 2018, we reorganized the segmentation of the business groups in order for the Bank, the Trust Bank and the Securities HD to further promote integrated group operation. The business groups consist of six business segments: Retail & Commercial Banking, Japanese Corporate & Investment Banking, Global Corporate & Investment Banking (Global CIB), Global Commercial Banking which serve as contact points with customers, along with Asset Management & Investor Services and Global Markets. Each group designs strategies that integrate the strengths of group subsidiaries consisting of banks, trust banks, securities companies, credit card companies, consumer financing companies, lease companies and asset management companies, etc., and implements measures in order to meet a broad range of customer needs as a group.
The operations and results by business group for fiscal year 2018 are as follows.

Profits decreased from the previous fiscal year due to struggles in the asset management business owing to deteriorating market conditions, despite expansion of the card settlement and consumer finance businesses and an increase in foreign currency deposit income due to rising U.S. interest rates.
For individual customers, the Group is working as one to establish its wealth management business, and is establishing a structure that enables specialists to provide speedy,one-stop solutions. MUFG Bank, Ltd. reopened the Gakugeidaigaku-Ekimae Branch in January 2019 and Shinsaibashi Branch in April under the new MUFG NEXT concept which enables easy and quick transactions through the use of internet banking and various devices and tablets. The Group is accelerating its restructuring of “real”face-to-face channels, including the arrangement of Groupco-located branches.
For small and medium business customers, MUFG Bank, Ltd. and Mitsubishi UFJ Capital Co., Ltd. jointly formed a fund specializing in venture investments to contribute to the development of growing companies through financing and management support.
Through these efforts, the Group aims to be a retail and commercial financial group that boasts unparalleled strength in Japan, sustainably growing together with customers and society.

Income from foreign currency deposits increased due to growth in foreign currency deposits, rising U.S. interest rates, and improvement in the foreign currency lending margins.M&A-related event finance and project finance also performed steadily. Securities-related income was favorable as well owing to acquiring large M&A projects and achievingtop-class results in the M&A project advisory business.
In addition to integrating the corporate loan businesses of the Bank and the Trust Bank in April 2018, we carried out a functional reorganization within the Group during fiscal year 2018, putting in place a structure to provide advanced solutions. We also stepped up our “sector approach,” which provides solutions to resolve customers’ management issues taking into account the different environment in each industry.
The Bank, the Trust Bank and the Securities HD worked together to organize the MUFG CFO Seminar targeting CFOs of large corporations. Attended by CFOs from about 300 companies, the seminar featured a keynote address by Professor Ito of Hitotsubashi University on the topic of corporate governance. We plan to continue holding the event in future, and to become the “First Call Business Partner” of large Japanese corporate customers.

d. | Key Issues |
Amid major changes in the management environment such as the decreasing population and prolongedultra-low interest rate environment in Japan, MUFG publicly announced the outline of its “MUFGRe-Imagining Strategy” in May 2017 aimed at reform for sustainable growth, and started its new medium-term business plan (MTBP) including specific initiatives to realize the plan in the fiscal year 2018.
Under the MTBP, we have set out the Eleven Transformation Initiatives as key measures that share the following features: 1) enabling MUFG to demonstrate its core competencies, 2) domains with high growth potential, and 3) functions that support these areas. In fiscal year 2018, each legal entity of the Group, business groups and the Corporate Center worked as one to push forward with these initiatives, and achieved the results stated above.
We will continue to steadily implement the Group’s key measures centered on the Eleven Transformation Initiatives in fiscal year 2019 while responding flexibly to changes in the environment. Moreover, by appropriately dealing with issues that arise in the process of carrying out these initiatives, we will enhance our practical skills and ability to get things done, and speed up reform. Meanwhile, it is important to strengthen our systems for managing various risks as MUFG advances its global business development. In light of the FATF Fourth Round of Mutual Evaluation of Japan planned for this year, we will further enhance compliance management in the MUFG Group as a whole by reinforcing measures to deal with financial crime and working to ensure compliance with regulations in various countries, while striving to make the Code of Conduct even more thoroughly known and practiced. Through the above efforts, we will satisfy all stakeholders, including customers, shareholders and employees.
1. Basic company policy
Based on the current MTBP, we at MUFG aim to deliver the best value to all stakeholders through “simple, speedy and transparent* group-integrated operations.”
We will move from “group collaboration” and “group-driven management” to “group-based, integrated management” to foster business transformation. We will work to further reinforce the functions assumed by each company, strengthen the functionality of products and services and increase the capacity to provide solutions.
We believe that by making full use of management resources, much of the business transformation process can be accomplished in the first half of the MTBP. We seek to lay a solid foundation for a new future-oriented business platform. By the third year, we hope to realize a tangible sense of success. From there, we seek to establish a new business growth model which meets expectations of all stakeholders within six years (the end of the next MTBP).
* | Transparent: universal, barrier-free open personnel communications between legal entities, and between company branches and the Head Office, regardless of title and position. It also implies an understanding of MUFG corporate vision. |
MUFG’s Vision~ Our Corporate Vision Beyond“Re-Imagining” Initiative
We aim to deliver the best value to all stakeholders through simple, speedy and transparent* group-integrated operations. Also, we will contribute to the realization of sustainable growth and a better society by promoting solution-oriented business.
(1) | Engage in the needs and issues of customers and society, and provide optimized solutions. |
(2) | Redefine ideal legal entities and the group, and develop a sustainable business model unique to MUFG. |
(3) | Provide a workplace where each employee can realize his or her talent development. |
(4) | Based on the results achieved above, respond to shareholders’ expectations and enhance a reliable relationship with them. |
42
2. Financial Targets and Capital Policy
We have setmid-to long-term financial targets, along with FY2020 targets, as follows:
Our capital policy calls for striking an appropriate balance from three perspectives: solid equity capital maintenance, capital use to strengthen profitability, and the further enhancement of shareholder returns.
Regarding shareholder returns, we have established “Basic policies for shareholder returns,” which continuously seek to improve shareholder returns, focusing on dividends. MUFG aims for stable and sustainable increase in dividends per share through profit growth, with a dividend payout ratio target of 40%.

Policy on Decisions on the Contents of Compensation for Individual Executives, etc. (revised May 15, 2019)
1. | Context of the Policy |
The Company’s Compensation Committee has prescribed this policy on decisions on the contents of compensation for individual Members of the Board of Directors, Corporate Executives and Executive Officers (“Executives, etc.”) (the “Policy”) in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act with regard to a company with three committees. The outline of the Policy are as below. In addition, major subsidiaries of the Company have each prescribed a similar policy based on the Policy of the Company.
2. | Decision-Making Organization for the Policy and Authorities, etc. |
The Company, as a company with three committees, has established a Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee comprises independent Outside Directors and a director who concurrently serves as President & Group CEO (Representative Corporate Executive) and is chaired by an independent outside director.
57
3. | Summary of the Policy (revised May 15, 2019) |
1) | Philosophy and Objective |
The MUFG Group, through its “simple, speedy and transparent group-integrated operations” and supported by its consolidated strength, provides prime-quality products and services to respond to any and all financial needs, with the aim to “be the world’s most trusted global financial group” and win strong support from its customers and society.
In an effort to realize such a management policy, we have decided on this Policy on compensation for executives in order to prevent excessive risk-taking and raise motivation of Executives, etc., to contribute not only to the short-term but also to the medium- to long-term improvement of financial results, thereby enabling sustainable growth and the medium- to long-term enhancement of the enterprise value of the MUFG Group. In addition, this Policy has been prescribed in accordance with the business performance and financial soundness of the Company and the MUFG Group and applicable Japanese and overseas regulations regarding compensation of executives, while at the time ensuring objectivity and transparency of the process of determining compensation for executives.
2) | Compensation Level |
We determine the level of compensation for executives that is competitive and appropriate for the Company and its subsidiaries taking into consideration the economic and social context, industry trend, management environment of the MUFG Group, and status of financial results, as well as human resources markets in the country where the Executives, etc. are appointed and other important factors, and upon referencing the objective research data of third-party, specialist agencies.
Compensation levels by position (excluding Outside Directors and Directors who are Audit Members) have been set according to a compensation system in which compensation amounts for each type of compensation decrease in descending order of position, with the President & CEO being the highest-paid individual followed by the Chairman, the Deputy Chairman, Deputy President, Senior Managing Corporate Executive, Managing Corporate Executive and Executives without titles. Furthermore, “Director and Corporate Executive Allowances” and “Committee Member (Chairperson) Allowances” and similar allowances are added according to the roles and responsibilities of each executive.
3) | Contents of Compensation |
- | In principle, compensation for the Company’s Executives, etc. is composed of three types: “annual base salary” (fixed), “performance-based stock compensation” (linked to stock price and medium- to long-term performance) and “cash bonuses” (linked to short-term performance). The proportion of each compensation type is properly specified based on the philosophy and objective above as well as the contents of the duties of such executives. |
- | In the stock compensation plan, the Company’s shares are issued to Executives, etc. by means of the trust structure. Stock compensation has been implemented in fiscal year 2016 as a common Group-wide new medium- to long-term incentive plan. |
- | The proportion of the President & CEO’s compensation since fiscal year 2018 is balanced among these three types of compensation: “annual base salary : performance-based stock compensation : cash bonus = 1 : 1 : 1”. (In case the stock compensation and cash bonus are paid in base amount). |
58
- | The proportion of compensation by position has been set according to a compensation system in which the proportion of the performance-based compensation decreases in descending order of position, with the President &CEO being the individual with the highest proportion of performance-linked compensation followed by the Chairman, the Deputy Chairman, Deputy President, Senior Managing Corporate Executive, Managing Corporate Executive and Executives without titles. |
- | Outside Directors who takes on the role of overseeing and monitoring management and directors serving as audit members are not eligible to receive stock compensation or cash bonuses in consideration of the contents of their duties. |
59
Note: | Regarding stock compensation, confiscation of the share issuance points granted or the return of an amount equivalent to the shares issued, etc. may be requested to Executives, etc. who fall under any of the following. |
1) | Those who committed a material breach of delegation agreements, etc. between the Company and Executives, etc. in regard to the duties of Executives, etc. |
2) | Those who retired for personal reasons during their term of office |
Regardless of the above, compensation for Executives, etc. who are hired locally outside Japan is individually designed in order to prevent excessive risk taking, taking into account compensation regulations, compensation practice, the local market rate and other related factors in the relevant overseas region, as well as the job contents and characteristics of the duties of such Executives, etc.

Pursuant to the fourth paragraph of Article 444 of the Companies Act, we have audited the consolidated financial statements, namely, the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2019 of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility

(TRANSLATION)
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Audit Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of March 31, 2019, and the results of their operations for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.
Interest
Our firm and the engagement partners do not have any interest in the Company for which disclosure is required under the provisions of the Certified Public Accountants Act.

Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on thesenon-consolidated financial statements and the accompanying supplemental schedules based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether thenon-consolidated financial statements and the accompanying supplemental schedules are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in thenon-consolidated financial statements and the accompanying supplemental schedules. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of thenon-consolidated financial statements and the accompanying supplemental schedules, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of thenon-consolidated financial statements and the accompanying supplemental schedules in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of thenon-consolidated financial statements and the accompanying supplemental schedules.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Audit Opinion
In our opinion, thenon-consolidated financial statements and the accompanying supplemental schedules referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company, as of March 31, 2019, and the results of its operations for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.
Interest
Our firm and the engagement partners do not have any interest in the Company for which disclosure is required under the provisions of the Certified Public Accountants Act.
The above represents a translation, for convenience only, of the original report issued in the Japanese language and “the accompanying supplemental schedules” referred to in this report are not included in the attached financial documents.
