On September 21, 2021, MUFG and MUFG Bank, a core banking subsidiary of MUFG, announced an agreement^[1] to sell all shares of MUFG Union Bank, N.A. (“MUB”), MUFG’s subsidiary owned through MUFG Americas Holdings Corporation (“MUAH”), to U.S. Bancorp (“USB”), pending receipt of all required regulatory approvals and the satisfaction or waiver of other closing conditions. Although the closing date had been expected to be in the first half of CY2022, considering the ongoing U.S. regulatory approval process, on May 16, 2022, MUFG announced a shift^[2] in the expected closing date to the second half in CY2022.

MUFG announced today the receipt of regulatory approvals from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to complete the sale of MUB and related transactions contemplated by the Share Purchase Agreement. These approvals are part of the conditions precedent to complete the sale of MUB. We will announce the planned closing date after the receipt of all required regulatory approvals, which announcement is expected to occur no less than 30 days prior to the closing date.

If any event which should be disclosed occurs, it will be announced promptly.
