2. Reasons for Sale of Shares

As one of the plans described in "Initiatives to improve productivity" in the MUFG Re- Imagining Strategy announced on May 15, 2017, MUFG is proceeding with the optimization of capital management in the face of tightened international financial regulations and changes in the business environment. In that context, MUFG is conducting a review of existing strategic investments by MUFG group companies from perspectives including strategy, capital efficiency, and return on investment.

The Trust Bank entered into a strategic business and capital alliance with AMPCH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMP Limited, in December 2011, and since then has offered their investment products to our Japanese institutional and retail clients.
