This communication contains forward-looking information and statements about MTFG, UFJ and their combined businesses after completion of the management integration. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts. These statements include financial projections and estimates and their underlying assumptions, statements regarding plans, objectives and expectations with respect to future operations, products and services, and statements regarding future performance. Forward-looking statements are generally identified by the words “expect,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “estimates” and similar expressions. Although MTFG’s and UFJ’s management believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, investors and holders of UFJ securities are cautioned that forward-looking information and statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond the control of MTFG and UFJ, that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements. These risks and uncertainties include those discussed or identified in the public filings with the SEC and the local filings made by MTFG and UFJ, including those listed under “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in the prospectus included in the registration statement on Form F-4 that MTFG may file with the U.S. SEC.
