Basic policies for shareholder returns
MUFG continuously seeks to improve shareholder returns, focusing on dividends in the pursuit of an optimal balance with solid equity capital and strategic investment for growth.
Dividends
MUFG will set a dividend payout ratio at around 40%, and aim for a stable and sustainable increase in dividends per share through profit growth as a fundamental policy.
Share Repurchase
MUFG will flexibly repurchase stock as a measure to return profits to shareholders that will contribute to improving capital efficiency, taking into consideration its business performance and capital situation, opportunities for investment in growth, and the market conditions, including the share prices.
Share Cancellation
MUFG will not hold treasury stock excessively to approximately 5% of the total shares outstanding and MUFG shall cancel the shares exceeding such amount in principle.
