Further Issuance of U.S. Dollar Denominated Unsecured Straight Bonds
Mitsubishi Corporation decided today to issue U.S. Dollar denominated unsecured straight bonds subject to the conditions listed below. The company issued U.S. Dollar denominated unsecured straight bonds back in September 2010 to diversify funding sources; however, the intent on this occasion is to issue the Further bonds that will form a single series with the original bonds (*) in order to increase name recognition of Mitsubishi Corporation in foreign bonds markets.
* The further bonds will be issued under the same conditions as those issued in September 2010 (same coupon rate, interest payment dates, and maturity) with the yield being adjusted through the issue price. After 40 days, the Further bonds will be consolidated together and form a single series together with the bonds issued in September 2010, which is expected to increase liquidity in the secondary market.

(Maturity date is the same as the originally issued bonds)
