Item 2.03    Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On December 12, 2018, MUFG Americas Holdings Corporation (“MUAH”), which is owned by MUFG Bank, Ltd., and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (“MUFG”), entered into a Master Internal Total Loss Absorbing Capacity Loan Agreement (the “TLAC Agreement”) with MUFG Bank, Ltd. (the “Lender”), under which MUAH will initially borrow an aggregate of $6.5 billion (the “Loan”) from the Lender to comply with the Federal Reserve’s Total Loss Absorbing Capacity (“TLAC”) rule (12 CFR Section 252.165), and the amount of such borrowings may increase over time. As MUAH’s outstanding external debt matures, it will likely be replaced with TLAC-eligible long-term debt. The Loan is initially comprised of three unsecured notes in the principal amounts of $1.625 billion, $3.250 billion and $1.625 billion, bearing initial interest rates (based on a market index) of 3.58094%, 3.67094% and 3.76094%, respectively, and maturing on December 12, 2021, December 12, 2022 and December 12, 2023, respectively. MUAH may prepay the notes, in whole or in part, two years prior to the stated maturities. The outstanding principal of the notes can be declared due and payable immediately, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, in the event of liquidation, insolvency or similar proceeding with respect to MUAH or all or substantially all of its property. Under certain circumstances, the Federal Reserve may issue a conversion order pursuant to the TLAC rule (12 CFR Section 252.163) that would result in the conversion of any then-outstanding note, in whole or in part, to MUAH equity issued to the Lender.

The foregoing summary of the terms of the TLAC Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the TLAC Agreement, filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

As the TLAC long-term debt is repaid and refinanced from time to time, it is expected that such debt will be replaced by new TLAC long-term debt of similar terms.

Item 8.01 Other Events
On December 12, 2018, MUAH repurchased for cash an aggregate of 15,654,589 shares of its outstanding common stock from MUFG and MUFG Bank, Ltd. (765,245 shares from MUFG and 14,889,344 shares from MUFG Bank, Ltd.) at a per share price of $159.42, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2.5 billion. This share repurchase was partially funded by a $1.7 billion dividend from MUFG Union Bank, N.A., MUAH’s principal banking subsidiary, and paid to MUAH on December 12, 2018.
