Notice Regarding Transfer of Shares in Consolidated Subsidiary

Mitsubishi Corporation (MC) hereby announces today that its shares (51% of all outstanding stock) held in its consolidated subsidiary Mitsubishi Corp.-UBS Realty Inc. (MCUBSR) will be transferred to 76KK, an indirect subsidiary of KKR & CO. INC. (together with its subsidiaries, hereafter "KKR"). 76KK is also in agreement to acquire 100% of MCUBSR shares owned by UBS Asset Management AG (49% of all outstanding stock), which in combination makes MCUBSR a wholly owned subsidiary of 76KK.

   1.     Reasons for Share Transfer 

MC has been involved in the real estate management business in the J-REIT market through MC-UBSR, which was established in 2000 as a joint venture with UBS Asset Management AG. MCUBSR's total assets under management through the Japan Metropolitan Fund Investment Corporation and Industrial & Infrastructure Fund Investment Corporation has expanded to 1.7 trillion yen, establishing itself as one of the largest companies in the industry to manage listed REITs. MC continuously strives to optimize and strengthen its business portfolio, and has identified private REITs, private funds, and overseas asset management as the main growth pillars of its real estate asset management business. It has therefore determined the transfer of MCUBSR to KKR to be in its best interest.
