Filing of Mistubishi UFJ Financial Group’s Shelf Registration Statement

with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

Tokyo, March 1, 2006— Mistubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (MUFG; President and CEO: Nobuo Kuroyanagi) has announced today that it has filed a shelf registration statement on Form F-3 under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2006 (U.S. Eastern Standard time).

The securities registered under the shelf registration statement* for potential future offerings are debt securities (senior debt securities and subordinated debt securities) and subordinated guarantees of MUFG, as well as preferred securities to be issued by special purpose companies, MUFG Capital Finance 1 Limited, MUFG Capital Finance 2 Limited and MUFG Capital Finance 3 Limited. We have registered a maximum aggregate offering amount of USD 5 billion with respect to the preferred securities to be issued by the special purpose companies in connection with the public offering in the United States we announced yesterday.

(*A shelf registration statement enables issuers to register securities under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 for possible offerings in the future, and accordingly provides flexibility, in particular with respect to timing, in accessing U.S. capital markets for future offerings.)
