REFERENCE MATERIALS CONCERNING

THE GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

Items of Business and Reference Matters

First Item of Business                Appropriation of Surplus

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%. MUFG will flexibly repurchase its own shares as part of its shareholder return strategies in order to improve capital efficiency. Also, in principle, MUFG will hold a maximum of approximately 5% of the total number of issued shares, and cancel the shares that exceed this amount.

Based on these policies, MUFG proposes the year-end dividend of ¥12.5 per share. Combined with the interim dividend of ¥12.5 per share, annual dividends will total ¥25 per share, an increase of ¥3 per share over the previous fiscal year.

Matters concerning the year-end dividend:

 

1.  Kind of dividend property

External Auditor & Supervisory Board Member of MITSUI & CO., LTD.

 

Reason for proposing as candidate for Outside Director

Ms. Matsuyama has extensive experience as an attorney and professional insight on general legal affairs. The Company proposes her election as outside director since she is expected to contribute to the effective enhancement of the board of directors’ decision-making function and oversight function, with the aim of facilitating sustainable growth of the Company and increasing its corporate value over the medium- to long-term.

Although she has not been directly involved in the management of a corporation, except as outside director or outside corporate auditor, the Company believes that she is well qualified to act as an outside director because of the reason stated above.

 
Supplementary information on independence

Ms. Matsuyama meets the Company’s “Independence Standards for Outside Directors.”

She currently serves as the Partner of Hibiya Park Law Offices, with which the Company has no advisory contract and has not had transaction since fiscal year 2014 in which she assumed the post of the Company’s director. In addition, although there was transaction related to legal advice, etc. between the Company and the concerned law office in fiscal year 2013, before she assumed the post of the Company’s director, since the amount of transaction was less than ¥2 million, among other reasons, such relationship would not affect her independence from the Company.

(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 a G-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 female outside directors will increase by one, thus further strengthening the diversity of the board of directors’ composition.

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 2018, the Company reduced the total number of directors and established a system in which outside directors make up the majority of the directors, based on the results of the evaluation of the board of directors in fiscal year 2017. As a result, the fiscal year 2018 evaluation results assessed that formal requirements for fairness and transparency have been fulfilled, that the board of directors engages in substantial discussions, and that the corporate governance structure has been soundly reinforced.

Matters Concerning the Current State of the Company

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, 166 subsidiaries, 85 subsidiary entities, etc., and 54 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.

Financial and Economic Environment

An overview of the financial and economic environment in fiscal year 2019 reveals the global economy followed a trend of deceleration on the whole due to trade friction between the US and China. Nevertheless, during the latter half of the fiscal year, there were signs that the manufacturing of goods, such as semiconductors, stopped declining worldwide and despite some lingering uncertainty caused by political issues, such as US-China friction, it appears the global economy was starting to pick up. However, from the start of Q4, the economy faced a new crisis: the global spread of a novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19. Cases of infection rose in China at first and then spread rapidly to developed countries like the US and those in Europe from the end of February. There also appears to have been an increasing number of cases in Asia outside China, such as ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations) and NIEs (Newly Industrialising Economies). Meanwhile, outbreaks of new cases of infection also started to appear in Japan around the end of March 2020, mainly in large urban areas. Countries and regions took strict public health measures in order to prevent the spread of infection, but these measures also led to a substantial decrease in economic activities.

 

32


Turning our attention to the financial situation, US and Japanese stock prices were generally on an upward trend and the JPY mostly traded between JPY 105 and JPY 110 per USD from the start of the fiscal year until Q3 with occasional rises and falls across markets in response to developments in the US-China conflict over trade and other factors. However, since the start of Q4, there have been large declines in stock prices owing to the COVID-19 pandemic and there were also significant movements in the JPY/USD exchange rate. Interest rates were generally low in both Japan and other developed countries throughout the fiscal year as central banks enhanced their monetary easing by lowering policy rates, citing uncertainty about the future brought about by the US-China trade friction and low inflation rates. Around the end of the fiscal year, further powerful monetary easing policies were adopted around the world in response to the rise in COVID-19 cases; in the US, the lower limit for the federal funds rate was set at 0% and some emerging economies also followed suit and carried out interest rate cuts. As a result, interest rates in developed countries overseas and in Japan remained low.

Business Operations and Results of the Group (Results of Fiscal Year 2019)

Under such environments, with respect to the consolidated results of the Group in fiscal year 2019, ordinary profits were ¥1,235.7 billion and profits attributable to owners of parent were ¥528.1 billion.

Consolidated gross profits were ¥3,986.3 billion, marking an increase of ¥260.5 billion from the previous fiscal year. Net interest income was ¥1,892.9 billion, a decrease of ¥29.8 billion from the previous fiscal year, reflecting a decline in U.S. interest rates. Net fees and commissions income was ¥1,341.2 billion, an increase of ¥37.3 billion from the previous fiscal year, as the result of the conversion of Bank Danamon and First Sentier Investors into consolidated subsidiaries. Net trading profits and net other operating profits were ¥621.2 billion, an increase of ¥247.6 billion from the previous fiscal year due to an increase in net profits associated with global markets business. General and administrative (G&A) expenses were ¥2,801.8 billion, an increase of ¥154.7 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 operating profits totaled ¥1,184.4 billion, marking an increase of ¥105.8 billion from the previous fiscal year. Total credit costs were ¥222.9 billion, marking an increase of ¥217.1 billion from the previous fiscal year, mainly due to the lack of reversal of allowance recorded in the previous fiscal year as well as the provisions built for some credit in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Net gains (losses) on equity securities resulted in gains of ¥31.3 billion. Equity in earnings of the equity method investees amounted to ¥277.2 billion. As for net extraordinary gains (losses), losses of ¥406.3 billion were recorded mainly due to a one-time amortization of goodwill of ¥343.3 billion associated with the recording of impairment losses on the shares of Bank Danamon and Krungsri (Bank of Ayudhya Public Company Limited).

As a result of the above, profits attributable to owners of parent were ¥528.1 billion, marking a decrease of ¥344.5 billion from the previous fiscal year.

Under the regulatory standard (Basel III), Consolidated Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio, Consolidated Tier 1 capital ratio, and Consolidated total capital ratio were 11.90%, 13.56%, and 15.87%, respectively. All of these met the required level as of March 31, 2020. The liquidity coverage ratio*1 was 154.6%, also meeting the required level.

In fiscal year 2019, the Group recorded extraordinary losses due to the amortization of goodwill for investees, but the number of collaborations with these investees is increasing, showing positive results conducive to future growth. The Group selects strategic investments from the perspective of producing returns that exceed the cost of capital after a certain period of time following the investment. To prevent investment discipline from flagging, the Group strives to be thorough in its implementation, including performing monitoring after investment.

Despite the decline in investment product sales owing to deteriorating market conditions, profits increased from the previous fiscal year, due to steady performance of consumer finance business and fund settlement business including credit cards, group-wide business and asset succession resulting from the expansion of wealth management, and progress in cost reductions.

 

For individual customers, the Group worked to optimize customer interface and improve productivity. The improvement of internet banking and smartphone app functions led to more users of the services. In addition, the Group started sharing ATMs with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation for better customer convenience. The Group also worked to solve social issues, such as through the launch of Tsukaete Anshin, a trust with delegate fund withdrawal functionality for use by customers with dementia.

 

For SMEs, the Group established Growing Industries Support Office, and further bolstered its public listing support and its financing for venture companies to contribute to the development of new industries. Through MUFG Biz, a comprehensive web-based channel for corporate clients, the Group introduced services that provide business matching and M&A information and visualize financial analysis and account activity data.

 

For customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group has provided flexible and prompt financing support through dedicated lending program and Biz Lending, a non-face-to-face financing service, and has created a dedicated consultation desk.

In addition to improving lending margins, the profit growth was derived by underwriting of large-scale bond issues and securities-related income such as M&A advisory.

 

One of MUFG’s greatest strengths is that the group has functions to respond diverse needs of large Japanese corporations. These functions, such as banking, trust banking, securities, overseas business, and consulting, are among the finest in Japan.

 

The Business Group has placed the highest priority on one-stop, rapid provision of high value-added information and solutions. This is being achieved through measures such as shifting to a structure that integrates the Bank and the Trust Bank’s sales functions and unifying operations with overseas offices, as well as establishing the Research & Advisory Unit that brings together the Group’s research and advisory functions. The Business Group has especially focused efforts on handling the tide of changes with significant impact on corporate governance, such as introducing CGC*2, growing interests in ESG and SDGs, and on fields in which MUFG presents unique strengths, such as supporting SR*3 and IR activities. The Bank, the Trust Bank and the Securities HD continued to work together to hold seminars for CFOs of large corporations on topics such as climate change risk.

 

For customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group has provided flexible and prompt financing support through dedicated lending program.

Despite the market turmoil caused by the spread of COVID-19 towards the end of the fiscal year, we were able to increase our net operating profits due in part to our business model transformation to shift form quantity to quality of our earnings.

 

We made steady progress in promoting O&D*2 business to enhance our capital velocity, such as the successful collaboration with Morgan Stanley to arrange one of the largest M&A finance deals in the U.S.

 

Amid the challenging business environment, we continued to optimize our non-Yen loan-deposit balance and improve portfolio returns. Accelerated reduction of existing low-profitability loans and strengthened deal screening framework contributed to increased net interest margin for our loan asset.

 

In addition, in November 2019, we completed the acquisition of aviation finance lending portfolio and employees from DVB Bank in Germany. The on-going integration with our existing business will enhance our aviation finance capabilities to provide high-quality services to our clients.

While the environment was harsh for MUFG Union Bank (U.S.) due to the significant decline in U.S. market interest rates, the strong business performance of Krungsri (Thailand) and the effects of Bank Danamon’s (Indonesia) conversion into a consolidated subsidiary led to overall performance exceeding the previous fiscal year.

 

MUFG Union Bank is reconstructing its loan portfolio and aiming to reduce costs through cost structure reformations in order to increase its profitability.

 

Krungsri achieved record-high profits, due to the steady increase of individual loans led by auto loans. Although Bank Danamon profits fell by 3% year-on-year due to rising funding costs, it is expanding business through collaborations with MUFG in a wide range of fields, from the large corporate market to the SME, and individual market.

 

In fiscal year 2019, we have completed our establishment of an ASEAN-centered commercial banking platform, with the subsidiarization of Bank Danamon. Furthermore, through collaborations with Grab, with whom we have formed a capital and business alliance in February 2020, we will provide next generation bespoke financial services in Southeast Asia.

 

We will continue to keep a close eye on changes in the economic conditions of the countries of our partner banks, including the changes caused by the spread of COVID-19, and will provide new financial services by expanding our collaborations.

Gross profits for fiscal year 2019 increased 21.8% (¥44.0 billion) from the previous fiscal year to ¥246.3 billion*1, and net operating profits decreased 9.2% (¥7.2 billion) to ¥70.9 billion*1.

 

While expenses increased temporarily due to the acquisition of an overseas asset management company, gross profits rose due primarily to the expansion of investor services business in Japan and overseas, and strong investment product sales to domestic corporate customers.

 

In the asset management field, we completed the acquisition of a global asset management company based in Australia, in August 2019 and renamed its global brand to “First Sentier Investors.” We will globally reinforce our ability to meet diverse needs by expanding and enriching our asset management functions. Sales of investment products for domestic corporate customers and the Group’s investment management balance have also increased, through flexible supply of products attuned to customer needs and provision of information with high added value.

 

In the investor services business field, we steadily expanded business overseas such as lending services to funds, while expanding compound services such as outsourcing services in Japan. We strive to actively offer not only existing products, but also new services that meet customer needs, in order to further expand our business.

 

In the pension business field, we were ranked first place in an external evaluation for the ninth consecutive year for our defined benefit pensions, and increased the number of enrollees in defined contribution pensions. Furthermore, we focused on comprehensive consulting on welfare and benefits through unified consulting on HR systems and retirement benefit systems in addition to pensions, thereby increasing the number of new customers.

Gross profits for fiscal year 2019 increased 11.3% (¥64.9 billion) from the previous fiscal year to ¥637.9 billion*3, and net operating profits increased 17.8% (¥53.2 billion) from the previous fiscal year to ¥352.0 billion*3.

 

Profits for customer segments exceeded the previous fiscal year, due to expense reduction by accelerating shifting resources based on a strategy of choice and focus, amid intense competition resulting from tightened regulations and digitalization, and prolonged low interest rates. The treasury operations secured profits such as gains on bond sales via proactive portfolio management by capturing movements of lowering yield.

 

In customer segments, we are securing stable business volume and contributing to profits by continued investments in digitalization, in order to increase the customer convenience and price competitiveness of the enterprise-oriented foreign exchange transactions, where MUFG has been strong. In addition to reviewing and revising our operation strategies of securities subsidiaries located overseas, we also built a lean organization by cutting expenses through streamlining the sales & trading operation functions of each site.

 

In treasury operations, we diversified market funding methods and funding sources by expanding our secured procurement utilizing Japanese government bonds, in order to support sustainable and sound foreign currency denominated business. We are conducting stable foreign currency funding management amid the recent market turmoil.

Key Issues

Amid major changes in the management environment such as the decreasing population and prolonged ultra-low interest rate environment in Japan, MUFG publicly announced the outline of its “MUFG Re-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 2019, 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 2020, the third year of our medium-term business plan, 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.

With regard to the current COVID-19 situation, it is highly unclear at present to what extent the infections will spread and when conditions will return to normal. This makes it difficult to accurately assess the impact of the situation on economies and on our own business results. However, we are doing our utmost to create an economic forecast for fiscal year 2020 and determine the extent of its effects on our business results.

We prioritize the safety of all stakeholders including customers, employees, and shareholders, and will satisfy all stakeholders including customers, employees, and shareholders, by implementing measures such as providing financing support to enterprises, as a part of the financial infrastructure that is essential for society to maintain its functions.

 

42


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.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is rippling through the real economy. COVID-19 is expected to have a long-term impact and irreversible effects on the structure of society, including global values and the behavior patterns of customers. The Group worked to identify the changes that had manifested in the social environment before the pandemic. To address the changes, the Group adopted a business group structure aligned with the Group’s business fields, leveraged digital strategies to promote the core framework of structural reforms, incorporated overseas growth, and implemented other strategies. Going forward, it will be necessary to focus on trends such as the digital shift of society, the rising awareness of solving social issues and social contributions, the changes and diversification of work styles and values, and the creation of new supply chains, in addition to the conventional changes to the social environment. In particular, the digital shift of society presents a significant opportunity for changing the very nature of MUFG, and we will work to implement corporate operation reforms, including customer contact points and employee work styles. Furthermore, we will contribute to sustainable growth of the society by solving social issues. By integrating our social issue solutions and management strategies, we will strive to achieve sustainable growth for MUFG. Based on these new measures, we will promote the digitalization of transaction contact points and work styles, secure business stability (focusing on business resilience), and define a new management policy that is attractive to employees and fosters greater motivation for employee participation (engagement-focused management).

 

  *

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.

 

2. Financial Targets and Capital Policy

We have set mid-to long-term financial targets, along with FY2020 targets, as follows:

 

 

LOGO

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%. As part of this policy, MUFG also plans to flexibly repurchase its own shares in order to improve capital efficiency.

 

43


3. Promoting Group Business Strategies

Each legal entity of the Group, business groups and the Corporate Center will promote the Group’s priority strategies based on the “Eleven Transformation Initiative” together, with the goal of boosting net operating profits by approximately JPY250 billion. Taking the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic into consideration, the Group will implement core strategies based on its newly formulated management policy. These core strategies are: the digitalization of the domestic retail business area which takes the digital shifts in society as opportunities; the restructuring of our global strategy by the identification of the growth potential and strengths of each region, optimal allocation of management resources, and collaboration with Grab to take on the challenges of next-generation financial services; and further foundation and process reforms, including the streamlining of administrative work by switching to paperless methods, and the creation of work environments and preparation of a foundation that reflect the diverse values of employees and work style reforms. Although progress on some existing measures may be delayed due to the impact of policies taken for the current COVID-19 situation, we will carefully identify the extent of the impact on our measures.

Efforts Related to Sustainability

We are working to create value by integrating the resolution of social issues with MUFG’s management strategies, based on the belief that a sustainable environment and society is a prerequisite for MUFG’s sustainable growth.

 

   

Initiatives for sustainability through the provision of financial services

MUFG aims to help create a sustainable society and realize United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through its business activities. To this end, we have identified a number of environmental and social issues of concern at home and abroad and determined priority issues to be addressed by MUFG.

Currently, each business group has incorporated these priority issues into their business strategies and is pushing forward with initiatives to address them.

Sustainable Finance Goals

Aiming to facilitate the creation of a sustainable society and realization of SDGs via its financial services, MUFG has committed to extending a total of ¥20 trillion for sustainable finance over a period spanning from fiscal 2019 to fiscal 2030 (of this, ¥8 trillion will be used for environmental finance).

 

MUFG is one of the top performers in the world on the global private finance lead arrangers league table in the field of renewable energy financing. (2019 results: USD 3.4 billion; No. 2 in the world)

Establishment of the Sustainable Business Office

MUFG Bank established the Sustainable Business Office in fiscal year 2019 as an organization specializing in cross-cutting sustainable business initiatives in order to integrate and further reinforce MUFG’s years of knowledge and experience in the environmental and social fields. We will work together to develop solutions towards medium and long-term environmental and social issues of our customers’ businesses and provide information and functions (such as ESG financing) to support their sustainable growth.

 

   

Closing of Japan’s first Sustainability-Linked Loan

MUFG Bank promotes ESG financing to support our customers’ sustainable business activities and ESG management. MUFG Bank has developed a scheme in compliance with the Sustainability Linked Loan Principles (SLLP). The new scheme offers adjustments in interest rates depending on the achievement of the pre-set ESG-related goals and has no restrictions on the use of proceeds. We closed the first syndicated Sustainability-Linked Loan complying with SLLP in Japan, and two other subsequent deals, in fiscal year 2019.

 

   

Signing of the Principles for Responsible Banking

The Principles for Responsible Banking have been developed to align the banking sector with society’s goals as expressed in the SDGs, the Paris Climate Agreement, and other relevant frameworks. With the aspiration to “be the world’s most trusted financial group,” MUFG is promoting sustainability initiatives with strong commitment from top management. In fiscal year 2019 we decided to support the Principles for Responsible Banking, as we believe that their objective is fully consistent with our aspiration.

 

   

Applying the MUFG Environmental and Social Policy Framework

MUFG recognizes that the environmental and social risks arising from the business activities of each Group company are important to our business and require managing appropriately. MUFG has established the MUFG Environmental and Social Policy Framework as a framework for realizing environmental and social considerations in credit and underwriting of bonds and stocks.

Sustainability Promotion Framework

In fiscal year 2019, MUFG reorganized the CSR Committee, which is comprised mainly of members of the holding company’s Executive Committee, to the Sustainability Committee, and reviewed the content of discussions and the composition of its members, with the aim of discussing initiatives to solve environmental and social issues for the realization of a sustainable environment and society and the sustainable growth of MUFG. The Sustainability Committee meets once a year in principle.

The Committee, which is also participated by the directors of the Group, discusses policies and strategies related to the promotion of sustainability for the entire Group as well as the status of efforts to address environmental and social issues at group companies, and promotes sustainability activities throughout the Group while strengthening cooperation among the companies. The details of the Committee’s discussions are submitted or reported to the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee.

Policy on Decisions on the Contents of Compensation for Individual Executives, etc. (revised May 15, 2020)

 

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.

3.

Summary of the Policy (revised May 15, 2020)

 

  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, while also further driving measures aimed at taking on the challenges of reform implementation, thereby improving our competitiveness and 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).

Opinion

Pursuant to the first item, second paragraph of Article 436 of the Companies Act, we have audited the nonconsolidated financial statements of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”), namely, the nonconsolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020, the nonconsolidated statement of income, and nonconsolidated statement of changes in net assets for the 15th fiscal year from April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020, and the related notes and the accompanying supplementary schedules.

In our opinion, the accompanying nonconsolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2020, and its financial performance for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Nonconsolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Code of Professional Ethics in Japan, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities as auditors. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matter

Key audit matter is the matter that, in our professional judgment, was of most significance in our audit of the nonconsolidated financial statements of the current period. This matter was addressed in the context of our audit of the nonconsolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on this matter.

Valuation of Subsidiary Shares

The Company, a banking holding company managed a wide range of financial business, has stated equity securities of subsidiaries on the balance sheet at cost. Of these, the balances of equity securities of subsidiaries with no quoted market price available are ¥8,561 billion, accounting for a large percentage of the total assets (approximately 45%). The valuation criteria and balance of equity securities of subsidiaries are described in “1. Securities” in “Notes to Significant Accounting Policies” in “Notes to the Non-consolidated Financial Statements” and “1. Equity Securities of Subsidiaries and Affiliates” in “Other Notes” in “Notes to the Non-consolidated Financial Statements.”

The description of the key audit matter and why the matter was determined to be a key audit matter

Whether or not to recognize impairment of equity securities of subsidiaries with no quoted market price available is determined by comparing the cost with the substantial value. Unless the subsidiary that issued equity securities is classified as “bankrupt borrowers,” “virtually bankrupt borrowers,” or “likely to become bankrupt borrowers,” the management will decide to reduce the amount to the substantial value if the substantial value of equity securities of subsidiaries is less than 50% of these cost.

With regard to whether or not to recognize impairment of equity securities of subsidiaries, there is no situation that risk of material misstatement is high in our audit for this fiscal year as a result of comparing the cost of each equity securities of subsidiaries with the substantial value of them calculated based on the net assets per share of each subsidiary. However, since the amount of equity securities of subsidiaries with no quoted market price available are material on the balance sheet, we identified the appropriateness of the valuation of the equity securities of subsidiaries as our key audit matter.

How the key audit matter was addressed in the audit

For the key audit matter, we tested the effectiveness of internal controls over the valuation of the equity securities of subsidiaries. We additionally obtained and examined the results of the valuation of the equity securities of subsidiaries.

In testing the effectiveness of internal controls, we tested the effectiveness of internal controls, including review and approval, over management’s calculation of substantial value. We also tested the effectiveness of internal controls over the completeness and accuracy of key underlying data used in performing the aforementioned controls.

In addition, in order to evaluate whether the substantial value of the equity securities of subsidiaries is appropriately calculated based on the net assets per share of each subsidiary, we examined the calculation of the net assets per share based on the financial information of each subsidiary. Moreover, we evaluated the reasonableness of the result of the determining of whether management to recognize impairment of equity securities of subsidiaries by comparing the cost with the substantial value of the equity securities of subsidiaries. For the financial information of each subsidiary on which net assets per share are calculated based, we evaluated the reliability of the financial information by examining the audit procedures and audit results of major subsidiaries performed by component auditors.

Responsibilities of Management and the Audit Committee for the Nonconsolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the nonconsolidated 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 nonconsolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the nonconsolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan.

The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Officers and Directors’ execution of duties relating to the design and operating effectiveness of the controls over the Company’s financial reporting process.

 

79


Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Nonconsolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the nonconsolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these nonconsolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the nonconsolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement. In addition, we obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

 

 

Obtain, when performing risk assessment procedures, an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Company’s internal control.

 

 

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

 

 

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the nonconsolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

 

 

Evaluate whether the overall presentation and disclosures of the nonconsolidated financial statements are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, as well as the overall presentation, structure and content of the nonconsolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the nonconsolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with the Audit Committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with it all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the Audit Committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the nonconsolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Interest Required to Be Disclosed by the Certified Public Accounting Act of Japan

Our firm and its designated engagement partners do not have any interest in the Company which is required to be disclosed pursuant to the provisions of the Certified Public Accountants Act of Japan.

We, as the Company’s Audit Committee, have audited the performance of duties of the Company’s Directors and Corporate Executive Officers during the Company’s fiscal year from April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020, and hereby report our audit method and results of the audit as follows:

Audit Method Applied by the Audit Committee and Details Thereof

We established the audit policy and audit plans, and received from the Directors, Corporate Executive Officers and other appropriate persons, as well as the Independent Auditors, reports on the performance of their duties, and, when necessary, requested explanations regarding such reports.

In accordance with the audit policy, audit plans and other appropriate policies or plans established by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee endeavored to gather necessary information and create an improved environment for auditing by taking steps to facilitate communication with the Directors, Corporate Executive Officers and the Internal Audit Division as well as with employees from various sections, including the division responsible for internal control systems and the relevant sections supervising the Company’s group businesses, and to utilize internal audit by the Internal Audit Division. The members of the Audit Committee also attended important meetings, received from the Directors, Corporate Executive Officers, employees and other related persons reports on the performance of their duties (including reports relating to the Company’s subsidiaries), requested explanations regarding such reports when necessary, and inspected the documents related to important decisions in order to examine the status of the Company’s business and assets. The Audit Committee also received reports from the Directors, Corporate Executive Officers, employees and other related persons, requested explanations when necessary, and expressed opinions, on the contents of resolutions by the Board of Directors regarding the establishment of systems as provided in (b) and (e) of Paragraph 1, Article 416 of the Company Law, and on the status of the development and implementation of the systems established by such resolutions (internal control systems).

With respect to the internal control over financial reporting, the Audit Committee received reports from the Directors, Corporate Executive Officers and other related persons on their self-assessment and from Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu LLC on the status of their audit, and requested explanations regarding such reports when necessary.

The Audit Committee took steps to facilitate communication with the Directors and other related persons, Audit and Supervisory Committees and Corporate Auditors of the Company’s subsidiaries and to share information with them. When necessary, the Audit Committee received reports from subsidiaries on their respective businesses. Based on the foregoing method, we examined the Business Report and the supplementary schedules for this fiscal year.

In addition, the Audit Committee oversaw and verified whether the Independent Auditors maintained their independence and conducted their audit in a reasonable manner. The Audit Committee also received from the Independent Auditors reports on the performance of their duties as well as material audit matters, and requested explanations regarding those reports when necessary. The Audit Committee received reports, and when necessary requested explanations and discussed regarding such reports, from the Independent Auditors that they have taken appropriate steps to establish and implement the “system for ensuring appropriate execution of its duties” (as enumerated in Article 131 of the Company Accounting Regulation Ordinance). Based on the foregoing method, the Audit Committee reviewed the non-consolidated financial statements (namely, the balance sheet as of March 31, 2020 of the Company, and the related statements of income and changes in net assets) and accompanying notes, and the consolidated financial statements (namely, the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020 of the Company, and the related consolidated statements of income and changes in net assets) for the 15th fiscal year from April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020.
