An order received from the customers for Listed Securities etc. for Stocks, ETF, REIT shall be forwarded to the financial instruments exchange as an order, and we will not engage in off-exchange transactions, nor will we forward the order to PTS.

(2) Over-the-Counter Handled Securities (Green Sheet issues, Phoenix issues) |
|
We will not, in principle, accept orders for Over-the-Counter Handled Securities, except Securities, which we have reported to JSDA. However, if we have received selling orders from customers for such securities that are specified as Phoenix Issues, a category for the issues delisted by financial instruments exchanges, we forward such orders to financial instruments dealers that solicit investment in such securities. If only a single financial instruments dealer solicits investment in the security, we forward the orders to such financial instruments dealer. If there are two or more of such financial instruments dealers, we forward the orders to the financial instruments dealer that publishes the quotation most favorable to the customer among those financial instruments dealers that publish their current quotation as of the time we forward such orders. Please note that we may not be able to accept orders for certain securities. The securities which we have reported to JSDA are posted on our website (www.sc.mufg.jp or http://www.mumss.com).Customers could also contact sales divisions in our Head Quarter for details. |

|
|
(1) Listed Equities, etc. |
|
Most of the investors' demand is concentrated on financial instruments exchanges where there is more liquidity, higher execution probability and higher trading speed as compared with off-exchange transactions. We therefore believe that it is the most reasonable for customers to execute orders in these financial instruments exchange. Furthermore, when the relevant issue is listed on multiple exchanges, we also believe that it is the most reasonable for customers to execute orders in the financial instruments exchange that has the highest liquidity. |
|
(2) Other Allowed Equity Securities (Toriatsukai Yuka Shoken) |
|
We will not, in principle, accept orders for such securities which we have not reported to JSDA. However, as to the securities specified as Phoenix issues, a category for the issues delisted by financial instruments exchanges, we believe that it is necessary to promptly respond to the cash conversion needs of customers who have been holding such securities since the time they were listed. Forwarding selling orders from customers to the financial instruments dealers soliciting investment in these securities, to which orders tend to be brought intensively, is considered important to secure more execution opportunities and increase the likelihood of satisfying customers' needs. |
