NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        This report, along with other reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and other public documents include forward-looking statements, which include expectations for our operations and business and our assumptions for those expectations.

(1)
Pre-tax, pre-provision income is total revenue less noninterest expense. Management believes that this is a useful financial measure because it enables investors and others to assess the Company's ability to generate capital to cover loan losses through a credit cycle.
(2)
Annualized.
(3)
The efficiency ratio is total noninterest expense as a percentage of total revenue (net interest income and noninterest income).
(4)
The adjusted efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, is adjusted noninterest expense (noninterest expense excluding privatization-related expenses and fair value amortization/accretion, foreclosed asset expense and other credit costs, (reversal of) provision for losses on off-balance sheet commitments, low income housing credit (LIHC) investment amortization expense, expenses of the LIHC consolidated variable interest entities (VIEs), merger costs related to acquisitions, certain costs related to productivity initiatives and intangible asset amortization) as a percentage of adjusted total revenue (net interest income (taxable-equivalent basis) and noninterest income), excluding the impact of privatization, gains from productivity initiatives related to the sale of certain business units in 2012, and other credit costs. Management discloses the adjusted efficiency ratio as a measure of the efficiency of our operations, focusing on those costs most relevant to our business activities. Refer to "Noninterest Expense" in this Form 10-Q for further information.
(5)
Amounts are presented on a taxable-equivalent basis using the federal statutory tax rate of 35 percent.
(6)
Core deposits exclude brokered deposits, foreign time deposits and domestic time deposits greater than $250,000.
(7)
The Tier 1 common capital ratio is the ratio of Tier 1 capital, less qualifying trust preferred securities, if any, to risk-weighted assets. The Tier 1 common capital ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, facilitates the understanding of the Company's capital structure and is used to assess and compare the quality and composition of the Company's capital structure to other financial institutions. Refer to "Capital" in this Form 10-Q for further information.
(8)
The tangible common equity ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated as tangible common equity divided by tangible assets. The methodology for determining tangible common equity may differ among companies. The tangible common equity ratio facilitates the understanding of the Company's capital structure and is used to assess and compare the quality and composition of UnionBanCal's capital structure to other financial institutions. Refer to "Capital" in this Form 10-Q for further information.
(9)
The allowance for loan losses ratios are calculated using the allowance for loan losses against end of period total loans held for investment or total nonaccrual loans, as appropriate.
(10)
The allowance for credit losses ratios include the allowances for loan losses and for losses on off-balance sheet commitments against end of period total loans held for investment or total nonaccrual loans, as appropriate.
(11)
These ratios exclude the impact of all purchased credit-impaired loans and FDIC covered OREO. Purchased credit-impaired loans and OREO related to the April 2010 acquisitions of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities of Frontier Bank and Tamalpais Bank are covered under loss share agreements between Union Bank, N.A. and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Management believes the exclusion of purchased credit-impaired loans and FDIC covered OREO from certain asset quality ratios that include nonperforming loans, nonperforming assets, net loans charged off, total loans held for investment and the allowance for loan losses or credit losses in the numerator or denominator provides a better perspective into underlying asset quality trends.

Table of Contents

        Please refer to our consolidated financial statements and the Notes to consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (2012 Form 10-K) along with the following discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2013 in this Form 10-Q. Averages, as presented in the following tables, are substantially all based upon daily average balances.

        As used in this Form 10-Q, the term "UnionBanCal" or "the Company" and terms such as "we," "us" and "our" refer to UnionBanCal Corporation, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries, or to all of them together.

Introduction

        We are a California-based financial holding company and bank holding company whose principal subsidiary is Union Bank, N.A. (the Bank). We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. (BTMU) which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (MUFG). BTMU's global network includes the BTMU Headquarters for the Americas, or BTMU HQA, which oversees the branches and certain subsidiaries of BTMU's operations in the Americas.

        We provide a wide range of financial services to consumers, small businesses, middle-market companies and major corporations, primarily in California, Oregon, Washington, Texas, New York and Illinois, as well as nationally and internationally. We had consolidated assets of $102.3 billion at June 30, 2013.

        References to the privatization transaction in this report refer to the transaction on November 4, 2008, when we became a privately held company. All of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock are owned by BTMU.

Executive Overview

        We are providing you with an overview of what we believe are the most significant factors and developments that affected our second quarter 2013 results and that could influence our future results. Further detailed information can be found elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. In addition, we ask that you carefully read this entire document and any other reports that we refer to in this Form 10-Q for more detailed information that will assist your understanding of trends, events and uncertainties that impact us.

        Our sources of income are net interest income and noninterest income (collectively "total revenue"). Net interest income is generated predominantly from interest earned from loans, investment securities and other interest-earning assets, less interest incurred on deposits and borrowings. The primary sources of noninterest income are revenues from service charges on deposit accounts, trust and investment management fees, trading account activities and merchant banking fees. In the second quarter of 2013, revenue was comprised of 76 percent net interest income and 24 percent noninterest income. Changes in interest rates, credit quality, economic regulatory trends and the capital markets are primary factors that affect our revenue sources. A summary of our financial results is discussed below.

        Our primary sources of liquidity are core deposits, securities and wholesale funding. Core deposits exclude brokered deposits, foreign time deposits and domestic time deposits greater than $250,000. Wholesale funding includes unsecured funds raised from interbank and other sources, both domestic and international, and secured funds raised by selling securities under repurchase agreements and by borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLB). We evaluate and monitor the stability and reliability of our various funding sources to help ensure that we have sufficient liquidity when adverse situations arise.

        In the second quarter of 2013, we completed the purchase of PB Capital Corporation's (PB Capital) $3.5 billion institutional commercial real estate (CRE) lending portfolio. The acquisition expanded our CRE presence in the U.S., and provided geographic and asset class diversification.

        In December 2012, we completed the purchase of Pacific Capital Bancorp (PCBC), a bank holding company headquartered in Santa Barbara, California. The transaction enhanced our geographic footprint

within California's Central Coast region where PCBC's principal subsidiary, Santa Barbara Bank & Trust, N.A., conducted its banking activities. Union Bank acquired $3.8 billion in loans held for investment and $4.7 billion in deposits.

        In October 2012 we completed the acquisition of Smartstreet, formerly a division of PNC Bank, N.A., which provides banking services nationwide to homeowners associations and community association management companies. In the transaction, we acquired approximately $1.0 billion in deposits.

        Our results for the first half of 2013 reflect the impact of the aforementioned acquisitions.

    BTMU and UnionBanCal Integrated Business Initiative

        In July 2013, we announced the formation of BTMU Americas Holdings, which will preside over all BTMU operations in the Americas region, including the Company. An integrated executive committee for this management structure has been appointed and is being chaired by our Chief Executive Officer, Masashi Oka, who also serves as the BTMU Chief Executive Officer for the Americas. The committee also includes other senior officers of BTMU HQA and the Company. The Company has adopted a new internal management structure as a result of this integrated business initiative, and plans to revise the composition of its management reporting operating segments in the third quarter of 2013 to reflect the new structure.

    Performance Highlights

        In the second quarter of 2013, net income was $141 million, compared with $187 million in the second quarter of 2012. The decline in net income was primarily due to higher noninterest expense, which increased to $702 million in the second quarter of 2013, compared with $599 million in the second quarter of 2012. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits expense and net occupancy and equipment expense resulting from acquisition-related activity. Partially offsetting this increase in noninterest expense was an increase in net interest income and noninterest income. Net interest income was $666 million in the second quarter of 2013, compared with $646 million in the second quarter of 2012. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to loan growth largely offset by a lower net interest margin, which declined to 3.00 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 from 3.23 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The decline reflected lower yields on total loans held for investment and securities. We expect continued pressure on our net interest margin as our balance sheet continues to reprice downward in the current low interest rate environment. Noninterest income was $205 million in the second quarter of 2013, up $17 million, or 9 percent, from the second quarter of 2012 primarily due to higher trust and investment management fees as a result of higher average fees received on assets under management.

        The provision for loan losses was a benefit of $3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared with a benefit of $14 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, reflecting a continuing, but moderating pace of credit quality improvement within our loan portfolio. Our ratio of nonaccrual loans to total loans held for investment was 0.79 percent at June 30, 2013 and 0.84 percent at December 31, 2012. Our ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans held for investment decreased to 0.95 percent at June 30, 2013 from 1.09 percent at December 31, 2012. Annualized net loans charged off to average total loans held for investment was 0.05 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared with 0.22 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

    Capital Ratios

        At June 30, 2013, our regulatory Tier 1 and Total risk-based capital ratios were 11.55 percent and 13.63 percent, respectively, above the well-capitalized regulatory thresholds, compared with 12.44 percent and 13.93 percent, respectively, at December 31, 2012. Our tangible common equity ratio and Tier 1 common risk-based capital ratio decreased 81 basis points and 88 basis points to 9.11 percent and 11.47 percent, respectively, at June 30, 2013. The decline in the Company's capital ratios from December 31, 2012 reflects the acquisition of PB Capital.

        Net interest income for the second quarter of 2013 increased $20 million, compared with the second quarter of 2012. The increase was primarily due to growth in total loans held for investment, reflecting the impact from both organic growth and the PCBC and PB Capital acquisitions. The increase in net interest income was largely offset by contraction in the net interest margin, reflecting declining yields on total loans held for investment and securities.

Table of Contents

        Average total loans held for investment increased $8.7 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to growth in commercial mortgage loans, residential mortgage loans, commercial and industrial loans, and the PCBC and PB Capital acquisitions. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $6.6 billion, and average noninterest-bearing deposits increased $4.3 billion, in the second quarter of 2013 compared with the second quarter of 2012, primarily reflecting the PCBC and Smartstreet acquisitions.

        Noninterest income in the second quarter of 2013 was $205 million, compared with $188 million in the second quarter of 2012. Trust and investment management fees increased $11 million primarily due to higher fees on assets under management. Noninterest income for the first half of 2013 increased to $460 million from $402 million in the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily due to gains from the sale of securities in the first half of 2013 which increased by $76 million compared with the first half of 2012 due to securities portfolio rebalancing activities, partially offset by a decrease in trading account activities which decreased $24 million for the first half of 2013 compared with the same period in 2012. This decrease was due to lower fees received in the first quarter of 2013 due to decreased customer activity.

        Noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2013 was $702 million compared with $599 million in the second quarter of 2012. Salaries and employee benefits increased $62 million primarily due to increased staff expenses, while net occupancy and equipment increased $20 million, both reflecting the acquisition of PCBC. Professional and outside services increased due to various regulatory and compliance projects and acquisition-related costs.

        The adjusted efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management to measure the efficiency of our operations, focusing on those costs management believes to be most relevant to our business activities. Productivity initiative costs primarily consist of salaries and benefits associated with operational efficiency enhancements. Productivity initiative gains reflect the gain from the sale of certain business units in

Income Tax Expense

        The effective income tax rate was 20 percent in the second quarter of 2013 compared with 27 percent in the second quarter of 2012. The effective income tax rate was 23 percent in the six month period ended June 30, 2013 compared with 24 percent in the six month period ended June 30, 2012. The overall decrease in the effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2013 was primarily driven by the proportionately larger impact of low-income housing and alternative energy income tax benefits on lower pre-tax income.

        For further information regarding income tax expense, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Income Tax Expense" and "Changes in our tax rates could affect our future results" in "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A and Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements in our 2012 Form 10-K.

Balance Sheet Analysis

Securities

        Our securities portfolio is primarily used for liquidity and interest rate risk management purposes, to invest cash resulting from excess liquidity, and to a lesser extent, to support our business development objectives. We strive to maximize total return while managing this objective within appropriate risk parameters. Securities available for sale are principally comprised of residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) and direct bank purchase bonds. Direct bank purchase bonds are instruments that are issued in bond form, accounted for as securities, but underwritten as loans with features that are typically found in commercial loans. Securities held to maturity consist of U.S. government and government-sponsored agency residential mortgage-backed securities and cash flow CLOs. A cash flow CLO is

14


Table of Contents

a structured finance product that securitizes a diversified pool of loan assets into multiple classes of notes. Cash flow CLOs pay the note holders through the receipt of interest and principal repayments from the underlying loans, unlike other types of CLOs that pay note holders through the trading and sale of underlying collateral.

        The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses and fair values of securities are detailed in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

        Loans held for investment increased from December 31, 2012 to June 30, 2013 primarily due to the acquisition of PB Capital's $3.5 billion institutional CRE lending portfolio and organic growth in the commercial and industrial and residential mortgage portfolios.

    Cross-Border Outstandings

        Our cross-border outstandings reflect certain additional economic and political risks that are not reflected in domestic outstandings. These risks include those arising from exchange rate fluctuations and restrictions on the transfer of funds. Our total cross-border outstandings for Canada, the only country where such outstandings exceeded one percent of total assets, were $1.6 billion at June 30, 2013 and $1.5 billion at December 31, 2012. The cross-border outstandings are based on category and domicile of ultimate risk and are comprised of balances with banks, trading account assets, securities available for sale, securities purchased under resale agreements, loans, accrued interest receivable, acceptances outstanding and investments with foreign entities.

        As of June 30, 2013, our sovereign and non-sovereign debt exposure to European countries was insignificant.

Allowance for Credit Losses

    Allowance Policy and Methodology

        We maintain an allowance for credit losses (defined as both the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for off-balance sheet commitment losses) to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio as well as for off-balance sheet commitments. Understanding our policies on the allowance for credit losses is fundamental to understanding our consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations. Accordingly, our significant accounting policies on the allowance for credit losses are discussed in detail in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements and in the section "Allowances for Credit Losses" included in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 2012 Form 10-K. For additional information regarding our allowance for loan losses, refer to Note 4 of our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.

    Allowance and Related Provision for Credit Losses

        The allowance for loan losses decreased $28 million to $625 million as of June 30, 2013 compared with $653 million at December 31, 2012. This decrease is primarily due to improving credit quality in our

16


Table of Contents

commercial and consumer portfolios, partially offset by an increase in reserve requirements for loans acquired in the PCBC and PB Capital acquisitions and updates to the attributions for certain sectors within the commercial portfolio segment. The unallocated allowance was $38 million at June 30, 2013, compared with $110 million at December 31, 2012. The allowance for credit losses for the commercial portfolio was updated to reflect an extension of the loss emergence period, which previously had been estimated within the unallocated allowance for loan losses.

        Our ratio of nonaccrual loans to total loans held for investment was 0.79 percent at June 30, 2013 and 0.84 percent at December 31, 2012. Our ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans held for investment decreased to 0.95 percent at June 30, 2013 from 1.09 percent at December 31, 2012. Annualized net loans charged off to average total loans held for investment was 0.05 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared with 0.22 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Criticized credits in the commercial segment increased from $1.3 billion at December 31, 2012 to $1.4 billion at June 30, 2013. Criticized credits are those that have regulatory risk grades of "special mention," "substandard" or "doubtful." Special mention credits are potentially weak, as the borrower has begun to exhibit deteriorating trends, which, if not corrected, could jeopardize repayment of the loan and result in further downgrade. Adversely classified credits are those that are internally risk graded as substandard or doubtful. Substandard credits have well-defined weaknesses, which, if not corrected, could jeopardize the full satisfaction of the debt. A credit classified as "doubtful" has critical weaknesses that make full collection improbable on the basis of currently existing facts and conditions.

timely collection of either principal or interest, or such loans have become contractually past due 90 days with respect to principal or interest. For a more detailed discussion of the accounting for nonaccrual loans, see Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2012 Form 10-K. OREO includes property where the Bank acquired title through foreclosure or "deed in lieu" of foreclosure.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

        Troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) are those loans for which we have granted a concession to a borrower as a result of the borrower experiencing financial difficulty and, consequently, we receive less than the current market-based compensation for loans with similar risk characteristics. Such loans are classified as impaired and are reviewed for specific reserves either individually or in pools with similar risk characteristics. Our loss mitigation strategies are designed to minimize economic loss and, at times, may result in changes to original terms, including interest rate changes, maturity extensions, principal paydowns, covenant waivers and payment deferrals, or some combination thereof. We evaluate whether these changes to the terms and conditions of our loans meet the TDR criteria after considering the specific situation of the borrower and all relevant facts and circumstances related to the modification. For our consumer portfolio segment, TDRs are initially placed on nonaccrual and typically, a minimum of six consecutive months of sustained performance is required before returning to accrual status. For our commercial portfolio segment, we generally determine accrual status for TDRs by performing an individual assessment of each loan, which may include, among other factors, the consideration of demonstrated performance by the borrower under the previous terms.

        Modifications of purchased credit-impaired loans that are accounted for within loan pools do not result in the removal of these loans from the pool even if the modification would otherwise be considered a TDR. Each

pool is accounted for as a single asset with a single composite interest rate and an aggregate expectation of cash flows. Accordingly, modifications of loans within such pools are not considered TDRs.

        The following table provides a summary of TDRs by loan type as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Refer to Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for more information.

        Loans held for investment 90 days or more past due and still accruing totaled $7 million and $1 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. These amounts exclude purchased credit-impaired loans, which are generally accounted for within loan pools, of $210 million and $124 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The past due status of individual loans included within purchased credit-impaired loan pools is not a meaningful indicator of credit quality, as potential credit losses are measured at the loan pool level against prior expectations of cash flow performance.

        Both the Company and the Bank are subject to various regulations of the federal banking agencies, including requirements to maintain minimum ratios of Total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to quarterly average assets (the leverage ratio). The Company and the Bank interact with the federal banking agencies regarding matters that pertain to capital management and during the course of those discussions become aware, from time to time, of evolving regulatory interpretations of capital adequacy

21


Table of Contents

guidelines. As these interpretations are clarified, their resolution can result in changes to the methodologies applied to the computations of our capital ratios. As of June 30, 2013, management believes the capital ratios of the Company and the Bank met all regulatory requirements of "well-capitalized" institutions. During the second quarter of 2013, Union Bank issued $750 million of subordinated debt to BTMU. The subordinated debt qualifies as Tier 2 capital.

        In January 2013, the Company timely filed its Capital Plan Review (CapPR) with the Federal Reserve. The CapPR is an assessment of the capital plans of bank holding companies in the U.S. with total assets exceeding $50 billion that were not included in the Federal Reserve's Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) of the largest U.S. bank holding companies. In March 2013, the Company was notified by the Federal Reserve that it did not object to the Company's planned capital actions. The Federal Reserve's regulations provide that a bank holding company may be required to revise and re-submit its capital plan if certain material events occur after adoption of its plan.

        Commencing in January 2014, the Company will file its annual capital plan under the provisions mandated by the Federal Reserve's CCAR program. The Company's 2014 CCAR submission will encompass a range of expected and stressed economic and financial market scenarios and will include an assessment of expected sources and uses of capital over a prescribed planning horizon, a description of all capital actions within that timeframe, and a discussion of any proposed business plan changes that are likely to have a material impact on capital adequacy. As part of the 2014 CCAR process, the Federal Reserve will also generate a supervisory stress test using the information provided by the Company to estimate performance and advise us as to whether it objects to any of our proposed capital actions. The Federal Reserve will publish its supervisory stress test results and the related CCAR results taking into account the Company's proposed capital actions.

        In addition to capital ratios determined in accordance with regulatory requirements, we consider the tangible common equity ratio and the Tier 1 common capital ratio when evaluating capital utilization and adequacy. These capital ratios are viewed by management, and presented below, to further facilitate the understanding of our capital structure and for use in assessing and comparing the quality and composition of UnionBanCal's capital structure to other financial institutions. These ratios are not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) or federal banking regulations; therefore, they are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Our tangible common equity ratio calculation methods may differ from those used by other financial services companies.

        In July 2013, the Federal Reserve Board and the other U.S. federal banking agencies adopted final rules making significant changes to the U.S. regulatory capital framework for U.S. banking organizations and to conform this framework to the Basel Committee's current international regulatory capital accord (Basel III). These rules, upon their effectiveness, will replace the federal banking agencies' general risk-based capital rules, advanced approaches rule, market risk rule, and leverage rules in accordance with certain transition provisions. Under the rules as adopted, banking organizations will be required to determine their regulatory capital requirements under either the advanced approaches or the standardized approach. Banking organizations may elect to use the advanced approaches (with regulatory approval), and certain banking organizations will be required to use the advanced approaches (e.g., those with total assets of $250 billion or more). For banking organizations whose regulatory capital requirements are determined under the advanced approaches, which we expect will include the Company, the effective date and the beginning of the transitional adjustments will be January 1, 2014, and for other banking organizations, January 1, 2015. The final rules establish more restrictive capital definitions, create additional categories and higher risk weightings for certain asset classes and off-balance sheet exposures, higher minimum capital and leverage ratios and capital conservation buffers that will be added to the minimum capital requirements and must be met for banking organizations to avoid being subject to certain limitations on dividends and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The final rules will provide for increased minimum capital ratios as follows: (a) a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%; (b) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6%; (c) a total capital ratio of 8%; and (d) a Tier 1 leverage ratio to average consolidated assets of 4%. The advanced approaches banking organizations will also be subject to a new and separate supplementary leverage ratio under which they will be required to maintain capital against not only on-balance sheet assets but also certain off-balance sheet assets and exposures, including derivative exposures. Banking organizations that are subject to the advanced approaches must include most elements of their accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) in determining their

23


Table of Contents

regulatory capital; banking organizations using the standardized approach may make a one-time permanent opt-out election to exclude most AOCI elements from regulatory capital. Advanced approaches banking organizations must also determine their capital ratios with reference to the lower of the standardized or advanced approaches.

        The Company is evaluating the impact that these recently adopted rules of the U.S. federal banking agencies will have on its capital position and capital management policy and expects that it will be able to satisfy the minimum capital requirements within the prescribed implementation timelines. For additional information, see Item 1A. Risk Factors— "The effects of changes or increases in, or supervisory enforcement of, banking or other laws and regulations or governmental fiscal or monetary policies could adversely affect us" in this Form 10-Q and "Supervision and Regulation—Regulatory Capital Standards" in our 2012 Report on Form 10-K.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        The objective of market risk management is to mitigate any adverse impact on earnings and capital arising from changes in interest rates and other market variables. Market risk management supports our broad objective of enhancing shareholder value, which encompasses the achievement of stable earnings growth while promoting capital stability over time. Market risk is defined as the risk of loss arising from an adverse change in the market value of financial instruments caused by fluctuations in market prices or rates. The primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk. Substantially all of our interest rate risk arises from instruments, positions and transactions entered into for purposes other than trading. These include loans, securities, deposits, borrowings and derivative financial instruments. To a much lesser degree, we are exposed to market risk in our trading portfolio.

    Risk Governance

        The Board of Directors (Board), directly or through its appropriate committee, approves our Asset Liability Management Policy (ALM Policy), which governs the management of market and liquidity risks and guides our investment, derivatives, trading and funding activities. The ALM Policy establishes the Company's risk tolerance by outlining standards for measuring market and liquidity risks, creates Board-level limits for specific market risks, establishes Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) responsibilities and requires independent review and oversight of market and liquidity risk activities.

        The Risk & Capital Committee (RCC), composed of selected senior officers of the Company strives, among other things, to ensure that the Company has an effective process to identify, monitor, measure, and manage market risk as required by the ALM Policy. The RCC provides the broad and strategic guidance of market risk management by defining the risk and return direction for the Company, delegating to and reviewing market risk management activities of the ALCO and by approving the investment, derivatives and trading policies that govern the Company's activities. ALCO, as authorized by the RCC, is responsible for the management of market risk and approves specific risk management programs including those related to interest rate hedging, investment securities, wholesale funding and trading activities.

        The Treasurer is primarily responsible for the implementation of risk management strategies approved by ALCO and for operational management of market risk through the funding, investment and derivatives hedging activities of Corporate Treasury. The manager of Global Capital Markets (GCM) is responsible for managing price risk through the trading activities conducted in GCM. The Market Risk Management (MRM) unit is responsible for the monitoring of market risk and functions independently of all operating and management units.

        The Company has separate and distinct methods for managing the market risk associated with our asset and liability management activities and our trading activities, as described below.

    Interest Rate Risk Management (Other Than Trading)

        ALCO monitors interest rate risk monthly through a variety of modeling techniques that are used to quantify the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in interest rates. Our net interest income policy measurement typically involves a simulation in which we estimate the net interest income impact of gradual parallel shifts in the yield curve of up and down 200 basis points over a 12-month horizon using a forecasted balance sheet. Due to the current and persistently low interest rate environment, the -200 basis point parallel scenario was replaced with a -100 basis point parallel scenario.

    Net Interest Income Sensitivity

        The table below presents the estimated increase (decrease) in net interest income given a gradual parallel shift in the yield curve up 200 basis points and down 100 basis points over a 12-month horizon.

    (2.23 )%   (1.83 )%

        An increase in rates increases net interest income. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company's asset sensitive profile increased slightly as changes were made to balance sheet composition and as a result of new activity forecasted to occur over the next twelve months. We believe that our simulation provides management with a comprehensive view of the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in interest rates over the measurement horizon. However, as with any financial model, the underlying assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. In particular, two significant models used in interest rate risk measurement address residential mortgage prepayment speeds and non-maturity deposit rate and balance behaviors. The mortgage prepayment model is periodically calibrated to reflect changes in customer behavior, but in the current low-interest rate and credit environment, may be prone to lowered predictive capability when determining the borrower's propensity or ability to prepay their mortgage. The deposit model uses the Company's historical deposit pricing to forecast future deposit pricing in its scenarios. Management's response to future rate scenarios may deviate from historic responses as the 2008 financial crisis may have changed customer behaviors and future competitive responses with respect to deposit repricing. Actual results may differ from those derived in the simulation analysis due to extraordinary market events, unanticipated changes in customer behavior, market interest rates, product pricing and investment, funding and hedging activities.

    Investment Securities

        Our ALM securities portfolio is composed of available for sale and held to maturity securities. As of June 30, 2013, this portfolio totaled $22.5 billion and was composed of $21.6 billion of available for sale securities and $0.9 billion of held to maturity securities. As of December 31, 2012, this portfolio totaled $20.9 billion and was composed of $19.8 billion of available for sale securities and $1.1 billion of held to maturity securities. The expected weighted average life of our ALM securities portfolio was 5.1 years at June 30, 2013. Based on current prepayment projections, the estimated ALM securities portfolio's effective duration was 3.9 at June 30, 2013, compared with 2.3 at December 31, 2012. Effective duration is a measure of price sensitivity of a bond portfolio to immediate parallel shifts in interest rates. An effective duration of 3.9 suggests an expected price decrease of approximately 3.9 percent for an immediate 1 percent parallel increase in interest rates. At June 30, 2013, approximately $7.0 billion of the portfolio was pledged to secure trust and public deposits and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

        In addition to our ALM securities, our securities available for sale portfolio includes approximately $1.7 billion of direct bank purchase bonds which are managed within our Corporate Banking operating

segment. These instruments are accounted for as securities, but underwritten as loans with terms that are closely aligned with traditional commercial loan features, and are subject to national bank regulatory lending authority standards. These instruments typically are not issued in bearer form, nor are they registered with the SEC or the Depository Trust Company. Additionally, these instruments generally contain certain transferability restrictions and are not assigned external credit ratings.

    ALM Derivatives

        Since December 31, 2012, the notional amount of the ALM derivatives portfolio decreased by $6.4 billion. The Bank terminated $4.6 billion of receive fixed interest rate swap contracts previously used to hedge floating rate commercial loans and $2.0 billion of interest rate caps previously used to hedge interest-bearing deposits. In addition, $750 million of interest rate swaps and $1.0 billion of interest rate caps matured during the period. The interest rate swaps were partly replaced by $2.0 billion of new receive fixed interest rate swap contracts to hedge floating rate commercial loans.

        The fair value of the ALM derivatives portfolio decreased as a result of the terminations noted above and the decline in the value of interest rate swap contracts due to increases in interest rates. For additional discussion of derivative instruments and our hedging strategies, see Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q and Note 17 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2012 Form 10-K.

    Trading Activities

        We enter into trading account activities primarily as a financial intermediary for customers and, to a much lesser extent, for our own account. By acting as a financial intermediary, we are able to provide our customers with access to a range of products from the securities, foreign exchange and derivatives markets. In acting for our own account, we may take positions in certain securities, foreign exchange and interest rate instruments, subject to various limits in amount, tenor and other respects, with the objective of generating trading profits.

        We believe that the risks associated with these positions are prudently managed. We utilize a combination of position limits, Value-at-Risk (VaR), and stop-loss limits, applied at an aggregated level and to various sub-components within those limits. Positions are controlled and reported both in notional and VaR terms. Our calculation of VaR estimates how high the loss in fair value might be, at a 99 percent confidence level, due to an adverse shift in market prices over a period of ten business days. VaR at the trading activity level is managed within the maximum limit of $14 million established by Board policy for total trading positions. The VaR model incorporates assumptions on key parameters, including holding period and historical volatility.

        Consistent with our business strategy of focusing on meeting the needs of our customers through the sale of capital markets products, we manage our trading risk exposures at relatively low levels. Our foreign exchange business continues to derive the majority of its revenue from customer-related transactions. We take trading positions with other banks only on a limited basis and we do not take any large or long-term strategic positions in the market for our own portfolio. Similarly, we continue to generate most of our trading income from customer-related transactions.

        As of June 30, 2013, we had notional amounts of $43.9 billion of interest rate derivative contracts, $3.2 billion of foreign exchange derivative contracts and $4.1 billion of commodity derivative contracts. We enter into these agreements for the principal purpose of accommodating the needs of our customers. We generally take offsetting positions in these transactions to mitigate our exposure to market risk. As of June 30, 2013, notional amounts of $1.1 billion, $2.1 billion and $3.7 billion of foreign exchange, commodity and equity contracts, respectively, represented our exposure to the embedded bifurcated derivatives and the related hedges contained in our market-linked certificates of deposit.

Liquidity Risk

        Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company's financial condition or overall safety and soundness is adversely affected by an inability, or perceived inability, to meet its contractual, including contingent, obligations. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain a sufficient amount of liquidity and diversity of funding sources to allow the Company to meet obligations in both stable and adverse conditions.

        The management of liquidity risk is governed by the ALM Policy under the oversight of the RCC and the Audit & Finance Committee of the Board. ALCO oversees liquidity risk management activities. The Company's corporate treasury department (Corporate Treasury) formulates the Company's liquidity and contingency planning strategies and is responsible for identifying, managing and reporting on liquidity risk. Market Risk Management, which is part of the Enterprise Wide Risk Reporting and Analysis unit, partners with Corporate Treasury to establish sound policy and effective risk controls. Our Contingency Funding Plan identifies actions to be taken to help ensure adequate liquidity if an event should occur that disrupts or adversely affects the Company's normal funding activities.

        Liquidity risk is managed using a total balance sheet perspective that analyzes all sources and uses of liquidity including loans, investments, deposits and borrowings, as well as off-balance sheet exposures. Management does not rely on any one source of liquidity and manages availability in response to changing balance sheet needs. Various tools are used to measure and monitor liquidity, including pro-forma forecasting of the sources and uses of cash flows over a 12-month time horizon, stress testing of the pro-forma forecast and assessment of the Bank's capacity to raise incremental unsecured and secured funding. Stress testing, which incorporates both bank-specific and systemic market scenarios that would adversely affect the Bank's liquidity position and profile, facilitates the identification of appropriate remedial measures to help ensure that the Bank maintains adequate liquidity in adverse conditions. Such measures may include extending the maturity profile of liabilities, optimizing liability levels through pricing strategies, adding new funding sources, altering dependency on certain funding sources or selling assets.

        Our primary sources of liquidity are core deposits (described below), our securities portfolio and wholesale funding. Wholesale funding includes unsecured funds raised from interbank and other sources, both domestic and international, including both senior and subordinated debt. Also included are secured funds raised by selling securities under repurchase agreements and by borrowing from the FHLB. We evaluate and monitor the stability and reliability of our various funding sources to help ensure that we have sufficient liquidity in adverse circumstances. We generally view our core deposits to be relatively stable. Secured borrowings via repurchase agreements and advances from the FHLB are also recognized as highly reliable funding sources, and we, therefore, maintain access to these sources primarily to meet our contingency funding needs.

        Wholesale funding increased to $13.6 billion at June 30, 2013, up $3.6 billion from $10.0 billion at December 31, 2012. Total deposits increased $3.0 billion from $74.3 billion at December 31, 2012 to $77.3 billion at June 30, 2013.

        Core deposits, which exclude brokered deposits, foreign time deposits and domestic time deposits greater than $250,000, provide us with a sizable source of relatively stable and low-cost funds. At June 30, 2013, our core deposits totaled $65.5 billion and our total loan-to-total core deposit ratio was 100.0 percent.

        The Bank maintains a variety of funding sources, secured and unsecured, which management believes will be adequate to meet the Bank's liquidity needs, including the following:

    The Bank has secured borrowing facilities with the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank. As of June 30, 2013, the Bank had $1.8 billion of secured borrowings outstanding with the FHLB, and the Bank had a remaining combined unused borrowing capacity from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank of $31.4 billion.

    Our securities portfolio provides liquidity through either securities sales or repurchase agreements. Total unpledged securities increased by $2.5 billion from $12.9 billion at December 31, 2012 to $15.4 billion at June 30, 2013.

    The Bank has an $8.0 billion unsecured Bank Note Program, of which $4.7 billion was available for issuance at June 30, 2013. We do not have any firm commitments in place to sell securities under the Bank Note Program.

    In addition to the funding provided by the Bank, we raise funds at the holding company level. The Company has in place a shelf registration statement with the SEC permitting ready access to the public debt markets. As of June 30, 2013, $1.1 billion of debt or other securities were available for issuance under this shelf registration statement. We do not have any firm commitments in place to sell securities under this shelf registration statement.

        We believe that these sources provide a stable funding base. As a result, we have not historically relied on BTMU for our funding needs.

        Our costs and ability to raise funds in the capital markets are influenced by our credit ratings. Our credit ratings could be impacted by changes in the credit ratings of BTMU and MUFG. For further information, see

Business Segments

        We have three operating segments: Retail Banking Group, Corporate Banking Group and Pacific Rim Corporate Group. The Pacific Rim Corporate Group is included in "Other." We have two reportable business segments: Retail Banking and Corporate Banking. Unlike financial accounting, there is no authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to U.S. GAAP. Consequently, reported results are not necessarily comparable with those presented by other companies, and they are not necessarily indicative of the results that would be reported by our business units if they were unique economic entities. The information, set forth in the tables that follow, is prepared using various management accounting methodologies to measure the performance of the individual segments. For a description of these methodologies, see Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

    Retail Banking

        Retail Banking provides deposit and lending products delivered through our branches and relationship managers to individuals and small businesses. Retail Banking is focused on executing a strategy to identify targeted opportunities within the consumer and small business markets, and develop product, marketing and sales strategies to attract new customers in these identified target markets.

        Retail Banking is comprised of two major divisions:

    the Community Banking Division serves its customers through 358 full-service branches in California and 48 full-service branches in Washington and Oregon. Customers may also access our services 24 hours-a-day by telephone or through our website at www.unionbank.com. In addition, the branches offer automated teller and point-of-sale merchant services.

      The Community Banking Division is organized geographically and serves its customers in the following ways:

      through banking branches and ATMs, which serve consumers and businesses with checking and deposit products and services, as well as various types of consumer financing and investment services;

      through its call centers and internet banking services, which augment its physical delivery channels by providing an array of customer transaction, bill payment and loan payment services; and

      through alliances with other financial institutions, the Community Banking Division offers additional products and services, such as credit cards and merchant services.

    the Consumer Lending Division provides the centralized origination, underwriting, processing, servicing, collection and administration for consumer assets including residential mortgages.

Table of Contents

        Residential mortgage loans are originated and secured by one-to-four family residential properties, through our multiple channel network (including branches, private bankers, mortgage brokers, and telephone centers) throughout California, Oregon and Washington. Additionally, we periodically purchase loans in our market area. We hold the majority of the loans we originate.

        At June 30, 2013, 57 percent of our residential mortgage loans had current payment terms in which the monthly payment covers the full amount of interest due, but does not reduce the principal balance. At origination, these interest-only loans had strong credit profiles and had weighted average loan-to-value (LTV) ratios of approximately 66 percent. The remainder of the portfolio consists of regularly amortizing loans and a small amount of balloon loans. Refer to Note 4 of our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for additional information on refreshed Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) scores and refreshed LTV ratios for our residential mortgage loans at June 30, 2013.

        We do not have a program for originating or purchasing subprime loan products. The Bank's "no doc" and "low doc" loan origination programs were discontinued in 2008, except for a streamlined refinance process for existing Bank mortgages that was discontinued in 2011. At June 30, 2013, the outstanding balances of the "no doc" and "low doc" portfolios were approximately 30 percent of our total residential loan portfolio. At June 30, 2013, the aggregate balance of "no doc" and "low doc" loans past due 30 days or more was $140 million, compared with $154 million at December 31, 2012. These loan delinquency rates remained below the industry average for California prime loans.

        Home equity and other consumer loans are originated principally through our branch network and Private Banking offices. We had approximately 33 percent and 34 percent of these home equity loans and lines supported by first liens on residential properties at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. To manage risk associated with lending commitments, we review all equity-secured lines annually for creditworthiness and reduce or freeze limits, to the extent permitted by laws and regulations.

        During the first half of 2013, net income for Retail Banking increased 1 percent compared with the same period in 2012, resulting from a 13 percent increase in net interest income and a 5 percent increase in noninterest income, partially offset by a 14 percent increase in noninterest expense. The increases in net interest income and noninterest expense were primarily related to our PCBC acquisition. Average asset growth in the first half of 2013 compared with the same period in 2012 was primarily driven by a 17 percent increase in average loans held for investment, mainly in residential mortgages, reflecting both our PCBC acquisition and organic loan growth. Average deposits increased 29 percent during the first half of 2013 compared with the same period in 2012, driven by both the PCBC acquisition and organic deposit generation. Retail Banking continues to focus on marketing activities to attract new consumer and small business deposits, customer cross-sell, and relationship management.

    Corporate Banking

        Corporate Banking offers a range of financial products to U.S.-based middle-market and corporate businesses. Corporate Banking focuses its activities on certain specialized industries, such as power and utilities, oil and gas, real estate, healthcare, equipment leasing and commercial finance, as well as lending in U.S. regional markets. Corporate Banking relationship managers provide credit services including commercial loans, accounts receivable and inventory financing, project financing, trade financing and real estate financing. In addition to credit services, Corporate Banking offers its customers a range of noncredit services, which include global treasury management solutions, capital market, foreign exchange and various interest rate risk and commodity risk management products. These products are delivered through treasury relationship managers and product specialists with expertise in the industry segments described above.

        One of the primary strategies of our Corporate Banking business units is to target industries and companies for which we can reasonably expect to be one of our customers' preferred banks. Consistent with this strategy, Corporate Banking attempts to serve a large part of the targeted customers' credit and depository needs. Corporate Banking competes with other banks primarily on the basis of the quality of our relationship

managers, the level of industry expertise, the delivery of quality customer service, and our reputation as a commercial lending institution. We also compete with a variety of other financial services companies as well as non-bank companies. Competitors include other major California banks, as well as regional, national and international banks. In addition, we compete with investment banks, commercial finance companies, leasing companies and insurance companies.

        Corporate Banking initiatives continue to expand commercial and loan relationship strategies that include originating, underwriting and syndicating loans in core competency markets, such as in our West Coast commercial lending markets, as well as our national specialty markets, including real estate, energy, equipment leasing and commercial finance.

        Corporate Banking is comprised of the following main divisions:

    the Commercial Banking Division, which includes the following operating units:

    Commercial Banking, which provides commercial lending products and treasury management services to middle-market and corporate companies primarily in California, Oregon and Washington;

    Power and Utilities, which provides treasury management products and commercial lending products, including commercial lines of credit and project financing, to independent power producers as well as regulated utility companies;

    Petroleum, which provides commercial lending products, including reserve-based lines of credit, commercial lines of credit as well as treasury management products, to oil and gas companies;

    National Banking, which provides commercial lending and treasury management products to corporate clients on a national basis, in states outside of California, Oregon, and Washington. National Banking also targets certain defined industries, such as entertainment and technology; and

    Specialized Industries, which provides commercial lending and treasury products to middle-market and corporate clients in specific industries on a national basis, including commercial finance, funds finance, environmental services, non-profits, healthcare, aerospace and defense.

    the Real Estate Industries Division serves professional real estate investors and developers with products such as construction loans, commercial mortgages and bridge financing. Additionally, through our Community Development Finance unit, we make tax credit investments in affordable housing projects, as well as provide construction and permanent financing;

    the Global Capital Markets Division helps to serve our customers with their foreign exchange, interest rate and energy risk management needs in addition to facilitating merchant and investment banking related transactions. The division takes market risk when buying and selling securities, interest rate derivatives and foreign exchange contracts for its own account and accepts limited market risk when providing commodity and equity derivative contracts, since a significant portion of the market risk for these products is offset with third parties. Additionally, the division's leasing arm provides lease and other financing services to corporate customers;

    the Global Treasury Management Division targets numerous industry relationship markets with deep industry and product expertise. The Global Treasury Management Division provides working capital solutions to meet deposit, investment and global treasury management services to businesses of all sizes. This division manages Union Bank's web strategies for retail, small business, wealth management and commercial clients, as well as commercial product development. The client base of Global Trust Services consists of financial institutions, corporations, government agencies, insurance companies, mutual funds, investment managers and non-profit organizations. Institutional custody

      provides both domestic and international asset portfolio safekeeping and settlement services in addition to money markets and liquidity management products. Corporate Trust acts as agent or trustee for corporate and municipal debt issues, and provides escrow and project finance agent services; and

    the Wealth Markets Division consists of the following operating units:

    The Private Bank focuses primarily on delivering financial services to high net worth individuals with sophisticated financial needs as well as to professional service firms, foundations and endowments. Specific products and services include trust and estate services, financial planning, investment account management services, and deposit and credit products;

    UnionBanc Investment Services LLC (UBIS) is a subsidiary of Union Bank and is our registered broker-dealer and registered investment advisor. UBIS provides services to retail and institutional clients in several core products areas, including annuities, mutual funds, and fixed income products. Retail services are delivered through dedicated investment specialists located throughout the Bank's geographical footprint. Institutional services are delivered through a dedicated trading desk and sales force specializing in fixed income products; and

    Asset Management includes HighMark Capital Management, Inc., a subsidiary of Union Bank and a registered investment advisor, which provides investment management and advisory services to institutional clients as well as investment advisory services to the affiliated HighMark Funds. During the third quarter 2013, the reorganization of the affiliated HighMark Funds into shares of unaffiliated mutual funds is expected to be completed, after which HighMark Capital Management, Inc. will provide investment management sub-advisory services to unaffiliated mutual funds. HighMark Capital Management, Inc. also provides investment management services to Union Bank with respect to most of its trust and agency clients, including corporations, pension funds and individuals.

        Commercial and industrial loans are extended principally to corporations, middle-market businesses and small businesses and are originated primarily through our commercial banking offices. These offices, which rely extensively on relationship-oriented banking, provide a variety of services including cash management, lines of credit, accounts receivable and inventory financing. Separately, we originate or participate in a variety of financial services to major corporations. These services include traditional commercial banking and specialized financing tailored to the needs of each customer's specific industry. We are active in, among other sectors, power and utilities, oil and gas, manufacturing, finance and insurance services, wholesale trade, real estate and leasing, and communications. These industries comprise the majority of our commercial and industrial portfolio. While loans extended within these sectors comprise the majority of our commercial and industrial portfolio, no individual industry sector exceeded 10 percent of our total loans held for investment at either June 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012.

        Construction and commercial mortgage loans are secured by deeds of trust or mortgages. Construction loans are extended primarily to commercial property developers and to residential builders. Geographically, 58 percent of the construction loan portfolio was domiciled in California as of June 30, 2013. The commercial mortgage loan portfolio consists of loans secured by commercial income properties, 63 percent of which were to borrowers located in California, 8 percent in New York, 5 percent in Washington, and the remaining 24 percent in various other states as of June 30, 2013.

        Lease financing includes either direct financing leases, where the assets leased are acquired without additional financing from other sources, or leveraged leases, where a substantial portion of the financing is provided by debt with no recourse to us. At June 30, 2013, we had leveraged leases of $584 million, which were net of non-recourse debt of approximately $1.0 billion. In accordance with accounting guidance for leveraged leases, the gross lease receivable is offset by the qualifying non-recourse debt. In leveraged lease transactions, the third-party lender may only look to the collateral value of the leased assets for repayment in the event of lessee default.

        During the first half of 2013, net income for Corporate Banking increased 9 percent compared with the same period in 2012, primarily resulting from an 11 percent increase in net interest income and an 8 percent increase in noninterest income. The increase in net interest income was the result of strong asset growth, as well as our PCBC and PB Capital acquisitions. The increase in noninterest income included gains on the sale of lease financings, partially offset by lower trading income. During the first half of 2013, average deposits increased 18 percent compared with the same period in 2012, primarily due to a 22 percent increase in noninterest-bearing deposits and a 15 percent increase in interest-bearing deposits, partially reflecting the impact of our PCBC and Smartstreet acquisitions.

    Other

        "Other" includes the following:

    The Pacific Rim Corporate Group, which offers a range of credit, deposit, and investment management products and services to companies located primarily in the U.S. that are affiliated with companies headquartered in Japan and other Asian countries;

    the funds transfer pricing results for our entire company, which allocates to the business segments their cost of funds on all asset categories and credit for funds on all liability categories;

    Corporate Treasury, which is responsible for our ALM, wholesale funding and the ALM investment and derivatives hedging portfolios. These Treasury management activities are carried out to manage the net interest rate and liquidity risks of our balance sheet and to manage those risks within the guidelines established by ALCO. For additional discussion regarding these risk management activities, see "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q;

    the adjustment between the credit expense (income) under the expected credit loss allocation methodology and (reversal of) provision for credit losses under U.S. GAAP;

    the residual costs of support groups;

    corporate activities that are not directly attributable to one of the two business segments. Included in this category are certain other items such as the results of operations of certain subsidiaries of UnionBanCal, and the elimination of the fully taxable-equivalent basis amount;

    goodwill, intangible assets, and related amortization/accretion associated with our privatization transaction;

    the FDIC covered assets; and

    the adjustment between the tax expense calculated using the adjusted statutory tax rate of 39.29 percent and our consolidated effective tax rate.

        During the first half of 2013, net income decreased by $126 million compared with the same period in 2012, resulting from a $118 million decrease in net interest income and a $64 million increase in noninterest expense, partially offset by a $31 million increase in noninterest income. The decrease in net interest income was primarily the result of decreased income from securities that were sold as part of the Company's portfolio rebalancing activities. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits, as well as a $13 million provision for losses on off-balance sheet commitments in the first half of 2013, compared with a benefit of $3 million in the same period in 2012. The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to a $76 million increase in gains on the sale of securities. The increase was partially offset by a $26 million gain on the sale of certain business units related to productivity initiatives in the first half of 2012 and a $12 million decrease in indemnification asset accretion, driven by better than expected FDIC covered loans performance, in the first half of 2013.

Critical Accounting Estimates

        UnionBanCal Corporation's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which include management estimates and judgments. The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on approximate measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. For example, we use discount factors and other assumptions to measure certain assets and liabilities. A change in the discount factor or other important assumptions could significantly increase or decrease the reported amounts of those assets and liabilities and result in either a beneficial or an adverse impact to our financial results. We use historical loss factors, adjusted for current conditions, to estimate the credit loss inherent in our loan and lease portfolios held for investment and certain off-balance sheet commitments on the balance sheet date. Actual losses could differ significantly from the loss factors that we use. Other significant estimates that we use include the valuation of certain derivatives and securities, the expected cash flows related to our acquired loans and FDIC indemnification asset, the assumptions used in measuring our pension obligations, and assumptions regarding our effective tax rates.

        For each financial reporting period, our most significant estimates are presented to and discussed with the Audit & Finance Committee of our Board of Directors.

        Understanding our accounting policies is fundamental to understanding our consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations. Accordingly, both our critical accounting estimates and our significant accounting policies are discussed in detail in our 2012 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to these critical accounting estimates during the second quarter of 2013.

Disclosure of Iranian Activities under Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

        We are disclosing the following information pursuant to Section 13(r) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), which requires an issuer to disclose whether it or any of its affiliates knowingly engaged in certain activities, transactions or dealings relating to Iran or with natural persons or entities designated by the U.S. government under specified Executive Orders. The scope of activities that must be reported includes activities not prohibited by U.S. law and conducted outside the United States in compliance with applicable local law. Because we are indirectly wholly-owned by MUFG, a Japanese corporation, our disclosure includes activities, transactions or dealings conducted outside the United States by non-U.S. affiliates of MUFG which are not controlled by us. We have requested that MUFG provide us a detailed description of reportable activity under Section 13(r) and have received the following information:

        During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, a non-U.S. affiliate of MUFG engaged in business activities with entities in or affiliated with Iran, including counterparties owned or controlled by the Iranian government. These activities were consistent with rules and regulations applicable to MUFG's non-U.S. affiliate. Specifically, MUFG's non-U.S. banking subsidiary, BTMU, issued letters of credit and guarantees and provided remittance and other settlement services mainly in connection with customer transactions related to the purchase and exportation of Iranian crude oil to Japan, and in some cases, in connection with other petroleum-related transactions with Iran by its customers. These transactions did not involve U.S. dollars nor clearing services of U.S. banks for the settlement of payments, and were reviewed for compliance with applicable U.S. and non-U.S. laws and regulations. For the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the aggregate interest and fee income relating to these transactions was less than ¥25 million, representing less than 0.005 percent of MUFG's total interest and fee income. Some of these transactions were conducted through the use of non-U.S. dollar correspondent accounts and other similar settlement accounts maintained with BTMU outside the United States by Iranian financial institutions and other entities in or affiliated with Iran. In addition to such accounts, BTMU receives deposits in Japan from and provides settlement services in Japan to fewer than ten Iranian government-related entities and fewer than 100 Iranian government-related individuals such as Iranian diplomats, and maintains settlement accounts outside the United States for certain other financial

37


Table of Contents

institutions specified in Executive Order 13382, which settlement accounts were frozen in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. For the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the average aggregate balance of deposits held in these accounts represented less than 0.005 percent of the average balance of MUFG's total deposits. The fee income from the transactions attributable to these account holders was less than ¥1 million, representing less than 0.001 percent of MUFG's total fee income. BTMU also holds loans that were arranged prior to changes in applicable laws and regulations to borrowers in or affiliated with Iran, including entities owned by the Iranian government, the outstanding balance of which was approximately ¥500 million, representing less than 0.001 percent of MUFG's total loans, as of June 30, 2013. For the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the aggregate gross interest and fee income relating to these loan transactions was less than ¥20 million, representing less than 0.005 percent of MUFG's total interest and fee income.

        We understand that BTMU will continue to limit its participation in these types of transactions mainly to arrange financing transactions relating to customer imports of Iranian crude oil into Japan, maintain accounts in Japan of Iranian entities and individuals, and obtain interest and fee income and repayment of principal in connection with existing loans to borrowers in or affiliated with Iran, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations.

        As of the date of this report, to our knowledge, there are no other activities, transactions or dealings by us during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that require disclosure in this Form 10-Q under Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act. For affiliates that we do not control and that are or may be our affiliates solely due to their possible common control by our parent MUFG, we have relied upon MUFG for information regarding their activities, transactions and dealings.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        A discussion of our market risk exposure is incorporated by reference to Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q under the caption "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" and to Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q under the caption "Risk Factors."

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures

        Disclosure Controls and Procedures.    Our Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) have concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2013. This conclusion is based on an evaluation conducted under the supervision, and with the participation, of management. Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in this filing is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner and in accordance with the SEC's rules and regulations and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

        Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.    During the second quarter of 2013, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Nature of Operations

        The unaudited consolidated financial statements of UnionBanCal Corporation, its subsidiaries, and its consolidated variable interest entities (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). However, they do not include all of the disclosures necessary for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the second quarter of 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results anticipated for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in UnionBanCal Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (2012 Form 10-K).

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP also requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Although such estimates contemplate current conditions and management's expectations of how they may change in the future, it is reasonably possible that actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. This could materially affect the Company's results of operations and financial condition in the near term. Significant estimates made by management in the preparation of the Company's financial statements include, but are not limited to, the evaluation of other-than-temporary impairment on investment securities (Note 3), allowance for credit losses (Note 4), purchased credit-impaired loans (Note 4), annual goodwill impairment analysis, pension accounting (Note 6), fair value of financial instruments (Note 9), and income taxes.

        UnionBanCal Corporation is a financial holding company and bank holding company whose principal subsidiary is Union Bank, N.A. (the Bank). The Company provides a wide range of financial services to consumers, small businesses, middle-market companies and major corporations, primarily in California, Oregon, Washington, Texas, New York, and Illinois, as well as nationally and internationally.

        Beginning in 2013, fees associated with certain unused commitment balances are classified within credit facility fees in noninterest income. Such fees were previously recorded in loan interest income and totaled $13 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and $25 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The Company has corrected the prior period presentation to conform to the presentation adopted at the beginning of 2013.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements That Are Not Yet Effective

    Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date

        In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date, which provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. Examples of obligations within the scope of this guidance include debt arrangements, other contractual obligations, and settled litigation and judicial rulings. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2014 and must be retroactively applied to prior periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Nature of Operations (Continued)

    Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity

        In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity, which provides guidance on releasing cumulative translation adjustments out of accumulated comprehensive income when a parent deconsolidates or derecognizes a subsidiary or group of assets that is a not for profit activity or a business within a foreign entity or deconsolidates or derecognizes investments in a foreign entity. This guidance is effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. Management does not expect the adoption of this guidance to significantly impact the Company's financial position or results of operations.

    Investment Companies—Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements

        In June 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-08, Financial ServicesInvestment Companies (Topic 946)Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements, which changes the criteria for determining whether an entity meets the definition of an investment company, requires investment companies to measure noncontrolling ownership interests in other investment companies at fair value (rather than using the equity method of accounting), and requires additional disclosures for investment companies. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2014. The revised investment company accounting must be applied to all entities that meet the new investment company definition on the effective date, with a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings. Management is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

    Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes

        In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10, Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes, which will now permit the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. The guidance also removes the existing restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedge accounting relationships. This guidance is effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. Management does not expect the adoption of this guidance to significantly impact the Company's financial position or results of operations.

    Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists

        In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, which specifies that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. However, to the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This guidance is applied prospectively beginning on January 1, 2014 to all unrecognized tax benefits

that exist on that date, with retrospective application permitted. Early adoption is also permitted. Management does not expect the adoption of this guidance to significantly impact the Company's financial position or results of operations.


Note 2—Business Combinations

        On December 1, 2012, the Company completed its acquisition of Pacific Capital Bancorp (PCBC), a bank holding company headquartered in Santa Barbara, California, for $1.5 billion in cash.

        The assets acquired and liabilities assumed from PCBC were recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. These fair value estimates are considered provisional, as additional analysis will be performed on certain assets and liabilities in which fair values were primarily determined through the use of inputs that were not observable from market-based information. During the first six months of 2013, management reviewed and, where necessary, adjusted the acquisition date fair values for circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Management may further adjust the provisional fair values for a period of up to one year from the date of acquisition. The assets and liabilities that continue to be provisional include loans, intangible assets, OREO, and the residual effects the adjustments would have on goodwill.

        The following table presents the net assets acquired from PCBC and the estimated purchase accounting adjustments as of the acquisition date. During the first six months of 2013, measurement period adjustments were applied to the acquisition date fair values, which increased goodwill by $17 million.

    Acquisition of PB Capital

        During the second quarter of 2013, the Company acquired PB Capital Corporation's (PB Capital) institutional commercial real estate (CRE) lending division for $3.7 billion in cash. The acquisition will expand the Company's CRE presence in the U.S., and provide geographic and asset class diversification. Excluding the effects of purchase accounting adjustments, the Company acquired approximately $3.5 billion in loans. The

assets acquired were recorded at acquisition date fair values of $3.4 billion, resulting in goodwill as of the acquisition date of $227 million, which was allocated to the Company's Corporate Banking reportable business segment. These fair value estimates are considered provisional and are subject to change for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information relative to closing date fair values becomes available.

        At June 30, 2013, the Company did not have the intent to sell any securities in an unrealized loss position before a recovery of the amortized cost, which may be at maturity. The Company also believes that it is more likely than not that it will not have to sell the securities prior to recovery of amortized cost.

        Agency residential mortgage-backed securities consist of securities guaranteed by a U.S. government corporation or a government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae. These securities are collateralized by residential mortgage loans and may be prepaid at par prior to maturity. The unrealized losses on agency residential mortgage-backed securities resulted from changes in interest rates and not credit quality. At June 30, 2013, the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities because the Company determined that the strength of the issuers' guarantees through direct obligations or support from the U.S. government is sufficient to protect the Company from losses.

        Commercial mortgage-backed securities are collateralized by commercial mortgage loans and are generally subject to prepayment penalties. The unrealized losses on commercial mortgage-backed securities resulted from higher market yields since purchase. The Company estimated loss projections for each security by assessing the loans collateralizing each security. The Company estimates the portion of loss attributable to credit based on the expected cash flows of the underlying collateral using estimates of current key assumptions, such as default rates, loss severity and prepayment rates. Based on the analysis performed as of June 30, 2013, the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.

        Other debt securities primarily consist of direct bank purchase bonds, which are not rated by external credit rating agencies. The unrealized losses on these bonds resulted from a higher return on capital expected by the secondary market compared with the return on capital required at the time of origination when the bonds were purchased. The Company estimated loss projections for each security by assessing the underlying collateral of each security. The Company estimates the portion of loss attributable to credit based on the expected cash flows of the underlying collateral using estimates of current key assumptions, such as probability of default and loss severity. Cash flow analysis of the underlying collateral provides an estimate of other-than-temporary impairment, which is performed quarterly when the fair value of a security is lower than its amortized cost and potential impairment is identified. Based on the analysis performed as of June 30, 2013, the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.

        For securities held to maturity, the amount recognized in OCI primarily reflects the unrealized gain or loss at date of transfer to the held to maturity classification, net of amortization. Amortized cost is defined as the original purchase cost, adjusted for any accretion or amortization of a purchase discount or premium, less principal payments and any impairment previously recognized in earnings.

Securities Pledged as Collateral

        Transactions involving purchases of securities under agreements to resell (reverse repurchase agreements or reverse repos) or sales of securities under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements or repos) are accounted for as collateralized financings except where the Company does not have an agreement to sell (or purchase) the same or substantially the same securities before maturity at a fixed or determinable price. The Company's policy is to obtain possession of collateral with a market value equal to or in excess of the principal

amount loaned under resale agreements. Collateral is valued daily, and the Company may require counterparties to deposit additional collateral or return collateral pledged, when appropriate.

        The Company separately identifies in the consolidated balance sheets, securities pledged as collateral in secured borrowings and other arrangements when the secured party can sell or repledge the securities. If the secured party cannot resell or repledge the securities that have been placed as collateral, those securities are not separately identified. At June 30, 2013, the Company had $7.0 billion of securities available for sale pledged as collateral where the secured party cannot resell or repledge such securities. These available for sale securities have been pledged to secure borrowings ($0.7 billion), to support unrealized losses on derivative transactions reported in trading liabilities ($0.3 billion) and to secure public and trust deposits ($6.0 billion).

        At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company accepted securities as collateral that it is permitted by contract to sell or repledge of $15 million (none of which has been repledged) and $19 million (none of which has been repledged), respectively. These securities were received as collateral for secured lending.

        The Company also monitors the credit quality for substantially all of its consumer portfolio segment using credit scores provided by Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) and refreshed weighted average loan-to-value (LTV) ratios. FICO credit scores are refreshed at least quarterly to monitor the quality of the portfolio. Refreshed LTV measures the principal balance of the loan as a percentage of the estimated current value of the property securing the loan. Home equity loans are evaluated using combined LTV, which measures the principal balance of the combined loans that have liens against the property (including unused amounts for home equity line products) as a percentage of the estimated current value of the property securing the loans. The LTV ratios are refreshed on a quarterly basis, using the most recent home pricing index (HPI) data available for the property location.

        The following tables summarize the loans in the consumer portfolio segment and consumer loans within the purchased credit-impaired loans segment monitored for credit quality based on refreshed FICO scores and refreshed LTV ratios at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. These tables exclude loans serviced by third-parties and loans covered by FDIC loss share agreements, as discussed above. The amounts presented reflect unpaid principal balances less partial charge-offs.

Amounts exclude $3 million and $4 million of TDRs covered by FDIC loss share agreements at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

        For the second quarter of 2013, TDR modifications in the commercial portfolio segment were primarily composed of interest rate changes, maturity extensions, principal paydowns, covenant waivers and payment deferrals, or some combination thereof. In the consumer portfolio segment, primarily all of the modifications were composed of interest rate reductions and maturity extensions. There were no charge-offs related to TDR modifications in the second quarter of 2013. For the commercial and consumer portfolio segments, the allowance for loan losses for TDRs is measured on an individual loan basis or in pools with similar risk characteristics.

        The following tables provide the pre- and post-modification outstanding recorded investment amounts of TDRs as of the date of the restructuring that occurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013:

Note 4—Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)

        The following table provides the recorded investment amounts of TDRs at the date of default, for which there was a payment default during the second quarter of 2013, and where the default occurred within the twelve months after modification into a TDR. A payment default is defined as the loan being 60 days or more past due.

        For the consumer portfolio, historical payment defaults and the propensity to redefault are some of the factors considered when determining the allowance for loan losses for situations where impairment is measured using the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate.

    Loan Impairment

        Loans that are individually evaluated for impairment include larger commercial and industrial, construction, commercial mortgage loans, and loans modified in a TDR. When the value of an impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Company records an impairment allowance.

Note 5—Variable Interest Entities

        The Company has interests in various entities that are considered to be variable interest entities (VIEs). Generally, a VIE is a corporation, partnership, trust or any other legal structure where the equity investors do not have sufficient equity at risk in the entity to allow the entity to independently finance its activities, lack the power to direct the significant activities of the entity through voting or similar rights, or do not have an obligation to absorb the entity's losses or the right to receive the entity's returns. The Company's investments in VIEs primarily consist of equity investments in low income housing credit (LIHC) structures, renewable energy projects and leasing trusts involved in railcar leasing, which are designed to generate returns principally through the realization of federal tax credits and deductions. For further information related to the Company's consolidated VIEs and those that were not consolidated, see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's 2012 Form 10-K.

    Consolidated VIEs

        At June 30, 2013, assets of $292 million and liabilities of $7 million were consolidated by the Company on its consolidated balance sheet related to two LIHC investment fund structures because the Company sponsors, manages and syndicates the funds. The assets are included in other assets as well as interest-bearing deposits in banks, the liabilities are primarily included in long-term debt, and third-party investor interests are included in stockholder's equity as noncontrolling interests. Neither creditors nor equity investors in the LIHC investments have any recourse to the general credit of the Company, and the Company's creditors do not have any recourse to the assets of the consolidated LIHC investments.

        At June 30, 2013, the Company consolidated $156 million of assets related to trusts that own and lease renewable energy facilities because the Company directs the significant activities of these trusts. The assets are included in loans held for investment on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2013, the Company also consolidated $97 million in assets related to trusts that own and lease railcars because the Company directs the significant activities of these trusts. The assets are primarily included in other assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

        For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded $6 million and $11 million, respectively, of revenue related to its consolidated VIEs in other noninterest income and interest income on loans on the Company's consolidated statements of income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded $7 million and $14 million, respectively, of expenses related to its consolidated VIEs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded $8 million and $15 million, respectively, of expenses related to its consolidated VIEs. These expenses are included in other noninterest expense on the Company's consolidated statements of income.

    Subordinated debt due to BTMU

        On June 28, 2013, the Bank borrowed $750 million from The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. (BTMU) under a subordinated debt agreement. The subordinated debt bears interest at a rate of three-month LIBOR plus 1.2%, payable quarterly, and will mature on June 28, 2023. The terms and conditions of the agreement are equivalent to those which would apply in a similar transaction with a non-related party. The

subordinated debt due to BTMU is a junior obligation to the Bank's existing and future outstanding senior indebtedness, and qualifies as Tier 2 capital under the federal banking agency risk-based capital guidelines.


Note 9—Fair Value Measurement and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

    Valuation Methodologies

        Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. The Company has an established and documented process for determining fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. When available, quoted market prices are used to determine fair value. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon valuation techniques that use, where possible, current market-based or independently sourced parameters, such as yield curves, foreign exchange rates, credit spreads, commodity prices, and implied volatilities. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure the financial instruments are recorded at fair value. These adjustments include amounts that reflect counterparty credit quality and that consider the Company's creditworthiness in determining the fair value of its trading liabilities. For further information related to the valuation methodologies used for certain financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value, see Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's 2012 Form 10-K.

    Fair Value Hierarchy

        In determining fair value, the Company maximizes the use of observable market inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market-derived or market-based information obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's estimate about market data. Based on the observability of the significant inputs used, the Company classifies its fair value measurements in accordance with the three-level hierarchy as defined by U.S. GAAP. This hierarchy is based on the quality, observability, and reliability of the information used to determine fair value. For further information related to the fair value hierarchy, see Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's 2012 Form 10-K.

    Valuation Processes

        The Company has established a Valuation Committee (VC) to oversee its valuation framework for measuring fair value and to establish valuation policies and procedures. The VC's responsibilities include reviewing and approving all fair value measurements and categorizations within the fair value hierarchy and monitoring the use of pricing sources, mark-to-model valuations, dealer quotes, and other valuation processes. The VC reports to the Company's Risk & Capital Committee and meets at least quarterly.

        Independent price verification (IPV) is performed periodically by the Company to test the market data and valuations of substantially all instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis. As part of its IPV procedures, the Company utilizes third party valuations and both internal and external models to compare pricing sources and perform analysis. Results are formally reported on a quarterly basis to the VC. For further information related to valuation processes, see Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's 2012 Form 10-K.

        The direct bank purchase bonds use a return on equity valuation technique. This technique uses significant unobservable inputs such as market-required return on capital, probability of default, and loss severity. Increases (decreases) in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a lower (higher) fair value measurement.

        The FDIC clawback liability uses a discounted cash flow valuation technique. This technique uses significant unobservable inputs such as probability of default and loss severity. Increases (decreases) in probability of default and loss severity would result in a lower (higher) liability.

    Fair Value Measurement on a Nonrecurring Basis

        Certain assets may be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are subject to fair value adjustments that result from the application of the lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets. For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the second quarters of 2013 and 2012 that were still held on the consolidated balance sheet as of the respective periods ended, the following tables present the fair value of such financial instruments by the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each fair value adjustment:

Note 10—Derivative Instruments and Other Financial Instruments

        The Company enters into certain derivative and other financial instruments for trading purposes, which includes customer accommodation derivative contracts, and for other-than-trading purposes, which are predominantly used for risk management.

        Credit and market risks are inherent in derivative instruments. Credit risk is defined as the possibility that a loss may occur from the failure of another party to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract, which exceeds the value of the existing collateral, if any. The Company utilizes master netting and collateral support annex (CSA) agreements in order to reduce its exposure to credit risk. Additionally, the Company considers the potential loss in the event of counterparty default in estimating the fair value amount of the derivative instrument. Market risk is defined as the risk of loss arising from an adverse change in the market value of financial instruments caused by fluctuations in market prices or rates.

        Derivatives are primarily used to manage exposure to interest rate, commodity, foreign currency and credit risk, and to assist customers with their risk management objectives. The Company designates derivative instruments as those used for trading or other-than-trading purposes. All derivative instruments are recognized as assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value.

        The tables below present the notional amounts, and the location and fair value amounts of the Company's derivative instruments reported on the consolidated balance sheet, segregated between derivative instruments designated and qualifying as hedging instruments and all other derivative instruments as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Asset and liability values are presented gross, excluding the impact of legally enforceable master netting and CSA agreements.

    Derivatives Used for Other-Than-Trading Purposes

        The Company uses interest rate derivatives to manage the financial impact on the Company from changes in market interest rates. These instruments are used to manage interest rate risk relating to specified groups of assets and liabilities, primarily LIBOR-based commercial loans, certificates of deposit (CDs), borrowings, and future debt issuances. Derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting are designated as either fair value or cash flow hedges. For the six months ended June 2013 and 2012, the Company did not have fair value hedges. For further information related to the Company's hedging strategy, see Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's 2012 Form 10-K.

    Cash Flow Hedges

        The Company used interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $2.0 billion at June 30, 2013 to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate on LIBOR indexed loans. To the extent effective, payments received (or paid) under the swap contract offset fluctuations in interest income on loans caused by changes in the relevant LIBOR index. At June 30, 2013, the weighted average remaining life of the currently active cash flow hedges was approximately 3.65 years.

        For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instruments is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged cash flows are recognized in net interest income. Gains and losses representing hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in earnings in the period in which they arise. At June 30, 2013, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $33 million of income from accumulated other comprehensive income to net interest income during the twelve months ending June 30, 2014. This amount could differ from amounts actually realized due to changes in interest rates and the addition of other hedges subsequent to June 30, 2013.

    Trading Derivatives

        Derivative instruments classified as trading include both derivatives entered into for the Company's own account and as an accommodation for customers. Trading derivatives are included in trading assets or trading liabilities with changes in fair value reflected in income from trading account activities. The majority of the Company's derivative transactions for customers were essentially offset by contracts with third parties that reduce or eliminate market risk exposures.

        The Company offers market-linked CDs, which allow the client to earn the higher of either a minimum fixed rate of interest or a return tied to either equity, commodity or currency indices. The Company hedges its exposure to the embedded derivative contained in market-linked CDs with a matched over-the-counter option. Both the embedded derivative and hedge options are recorded at fair value with the realized and unrealized changes in fair value recorded in noninterest income within trading account activities.

    Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

        During the first quarter of 2013, the Company adopted ASU 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which establishes new disclosures about an entity's rights of setoff and arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. The Company primarily enters into derivative contracts and repurchase agreements with counterparties utilizing a standard International Swaps and Derivatives Association master netting agreement (ISDA MNA) or master repurchase agreements, which generally establish the terms and conditions of the transactions, including a legal right to set-off amounts payable and receivable between the Company and a counterparty, regardless of whether or not such amounts have matured or have contingency features.

Note 12—Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees

        The following table summarizes the Company's commitments:

(Dollars in millions)   June 30, 2013  

Commitments to extend credit

  $ 30,455  

Standby and commercial letters of credit

    5,882  

Other commitments

    240  

        Commitments to extend credit are legally binding agreements to lend to a customer provided there are no violations of any condition established in the contract. Commitments have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require maintenance of compensatory balances. Since many of the commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash flow requirements.

        Standby and commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit generally are contingent upon the failure of the customer to perform according to the terms of the underlying contract with the third party, while commercial letters of credit are issued specifically to facilitate foreign or domestic trade transactions. Additionally, the Company enters into risk participations in bankers' acceptances wherein a fee is received to guarantee a portion of the credit risk on an acceptance of another bank. The majority of these types of commitments have terms of one year or less. At June 30, 2013, the carrying amount of the Company's risk participations in bankers' acceptances and standby and commercial letters of credit totaled $4 million. Estimated exposure to loss related to these commitments is covered by the allowance for losses on off-balance sheet commitments. The carrying amounts of the standby and commercial letters of credit and the allowance for losses on off-balance sheet commitments are included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

80


Table of Contents

Note 12—Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees (Continued)

        The credit risk involved in issuing loan commitments and standby and commercial letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. Collateral may be obtained based on management's credit assessment of the customer.

        Other commitments include commitments to fund principal investments and other securities.

        Principal investments include direct investments in private and public companies. The Company issues commitments to provide equity and mezzanine capital financing to private and public companies through direct investments. The timing of future cash requirements to fund such commitments is generally dependent on the investment cycle. This cycle, the period over which privately held companies are funded by private equity investors and ultimately sold, merged, or taken public through an initial offering, can vary based on overall market conditions as well as the nature and type of industry in which the companies operate.

        The Company occasionally enters into financial guarantee contracts where a premium is received from another financial institution counterparty to guarantee a portion of the credit risk on interest rate swap contracts entered into between the financial institution and its customer. The Company becomes liable to pay the financial institution only if the financial institution is unable to collect amounts owed to them by their customer. As of June 30, 2013, the current exposure to loss under these contracts totaled $25 million, and the maximum potential exposure to loss in the future was estimated at $42 million.

        The Company is subject to various pending and threatened legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. The Company maintains liabilities for losses from legal actions that are recorded when they are determined to be both probable in their occurrence and can be reasonably estimated. Management believes the disposition of all claims currently pending, including potential losses from claims that may exceed the liabilities recorded, and claims for loss contingencies that are considered reasonably possible to occur, will not have a material effect, either individually or in the aggregate, on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.


Note 13—Business Segments

        The Company has three operating segments: Retail Banking Group, Corporate Banking Group and Pacific Rim Corporate Group. The Pacific Rim Corporate Group is included in "Other." The Company has two reportable business segments: Retail Banking and Corporate Banking.

    Retail Banking offers a range of banking products and services, primarily to individuals and small businesses, delivered generally through a network of branches and ATMs and telephone and internet access 24-hours-a-day. These products offered include mortgages, home equity lines of credit, consumer and commercial loans, and deposit accounts.

    Corporate Banking provides credit, depository and cash management services, investment and risk management products to businesses, individuals and target specialty niches. Services include commercial and project finance loans, real estate financing, asset-based financing, trade finance and letters of credit, lease financing, customized cash management services and capital markets products, as well as trust, private banking, investment and asset management services for individuals and institutions.

        "Other" is comprised of certain subsidiaries of UnionBanCal Corporation; the transfer pricing center; the amount of the provision for credit losses over/(under) the expected loss for the period; the residual costs of support groups; goodwill, intangible assets, and the related amortization/accretion associated with the Company's privatization transaction; the elimination of the fully taxable-equivalent basis amount; and the difference between the marginal tax rate and the consolidated effective tax rate. In addition, "Other" includes

Note 13—Business Segments (Continued)

the Pacific Rim Corporate Group, which offers a range of credit, deposit, and investment management products and services to companies located primarily in the U.S. that are affiliated with companies headquartered in Japan and other Asian countries, Corporate Treasury, which is responsible for Asset-Liability Management (ALM), wholesale funding, the ALM investment securities and derivatives hedging portfolios, and the FDIC covered assets.

        The information, set forth in the tables that follow, is prepared using various management accounting methodologies to measure the performance of the individual segments. Unlike financial accounting, there is no authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to U.S. GAAP. Consequently, reported results are not necessarily comparable with those presented by other companies, and they are not necessarily indicative of the results that would be reported by our business units if they were unique economic entities. The management reporting accounting methodologies, which are enhanced from time to time, measure segment profitability by assigning balance sheet and income statement items to each operating segment. Methodologies that are applied to the measurement of segment profitability include:

    A funds transfer pricing system, which assigns a cost of funds or a credit for funds to assets or liabilities based on their type, maturity or repricing characteristics.

    An activity-based costing methodology, in which certain indirect costs, such as operations and technology expense, are allocated to the segments based on studies of billable unit costs for product or data processing. Other indirect costs, such as corporate overhead, are allocated to the segments based on internal surveys and metrics that serve as proxies for estimated usage.

    An expected credit loss allocation methodology, in which credit expense is charged to an operating segment based upon expected losses arising from credit risk. As a result of the methodology used in this model, differences between the provision for credit losses and credit expense in any one period could be significant. However, over an economic cycle, the cumulative provision for credit losses and credit expense for expected losses should be substantially the same.

        The Company reflects a "market view" perspective in measuring the business segments. The market view is a measurement of customer markets aggregated to show all revenues generated and expenses incurred from all products and services sold to those customers regardless of where product areas organizationally report. Therefore, revenues and expenses are included in both the business segment that provides the service and the business segment that manages the customer relationship. The duplicative results from this internal management accounting view are eliminated in "Reconciling Items."

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

        We are subject to various pending and threatened legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. We maintain liabilities for losses from legal actions that are recorded when they are determined to be both probable in their occurrence and can be reasonably estimated. We believe the disposition of all claims currently pending, including potential losses from claims that may exceed the liabilities recorded, and claims for loss contingencies that are considered reasonably possible to occur, will not have a material effect, either individually or in the aggregate, on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

Item 1A.   Risk Factors

        For a discussion of risk factors relating to our business, please refer to Item 1A of Part I of our 2012 Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference herein, in addition to the following information.

Industry Factors

        The effects of changes or increases in, or supervisory enforcement of, banking or other laws and regulations or governmental fiscal or monetary policies could adversely affect us

        We are subject to significant federal and state banking regulation and supervision, which is primarily for the benefit and protection of our customers and the Federal Deposit Insurance Fund and not for the benefit of investors in our securities. In the past, our business has been materially affected by these regulations. This will continue and likely intensify in the future. Laws, regulations or policies, including accounting standards and interpretations, currently affecting us and our subsidiaries may change at any time. Regulatory authorities may also change their interpretation of and intensify their examination of compliance with these statutes and regulations. Therefore, our business may be adversely affected by changes in laws, regulations, policies or interpretations or regulatory approaches to compliance and enforcement, as well as by supervisory action or criminal proceedings taken as a result of noncompliance, which could result in the imposition of significant civil money penalties or fines. Changes in laws and regulations may also increase our expenses by imposing additional supervision, fees, taxes or restrictions on our operations. Compliance with laws and regulations, especially new laws and regulations, increases our operating expenses and may divert management attention from our business operations.

        On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Act. This important legislation has affected U.S. financial institutions, including UnionBanCal Corporation and Union Bank, in many ways, some of which have increased, or may increase in the future, the cost of doing business and present other challenges to the financial services industry. Due to our size of over $50 billion in assets, we are regarded as "systemically significant" to the financial health of the U.S. economy and, as a result, are subject to additional regulations as discussed further below. Many of the law's provisions are still in the process of being implemented by rules and regulations of the federal banking agencies, the scope and impact of which cannot yet be fully determined. The law contains many provisions that may have particular relevance to the business of UnionBanCal Corporation and Union Bank. The Dodd-Frank Act authorized the creation of the CFPB, which has direct supervision and examination authority over banks with more than $10 billion in assets, including Union Bank. While the full effect of these provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act on Union Bank cannot be predicted at this time, they have resulted in adjustments to our FDIC deposit insurance premiums, and may result in increased capital and liquidity requirements, increased supervision, increased regulatory and compliance risks and costs and other operational costs and expenses, reduced fee-based revenues and restrictions on some aspects of our operations, and increased interest expense on our demand deposits, some or all of which may be material.

        In July 2013, a Federal district court held that the Federal Reserve Board's regulation under the Dodd-Frank Act allowing banks to receive an interchange fee on debit card transactions of up to the sum of $0.21 per transaction and five basis points multiplied by the value of the transaction was not valid under the

86


Table of Contents

Act's standard that the fee be "reasonable and proportional" to the cost of processing the debit card transaction; the court held that the Federal Reserve Board's regulation improperly included certain categories of costs in applying the statutory standard. It also held that the regulation improperly failed to give merchants the ability to choose from among multiple networks to process debit card transactions. The court temporarily stayed its ruling to allow briefing on the time needed to adopt new regulations complying with the Act. This decision, upon its effectiveness, which could be after the resolution of any appeal, could further reduce the fee revenues that banks, including Union Bank, receive from the business of processing debit card transactions.

        The Dodd-Frank Act will have a significant impact on our Global Capital Markets activities due to enhanced oversight of derivatives and swap activities by multiple regulatory agencies (CFTC, the SEC and bank regulators) and the potential need to "push out" of Union Bank certain non-conforming swap activity to a nonbank affiliate. The Dodd-Frank Act's Volcker Rule will require reporting of quantitative measures and the establishment of a compliance regime covering capital markets and principal risk-taking activities. The Federal Reserve Board has confirmed that financial institutions will have until at least July 21, 2014 to conform to the restrictions on proprietary trading activities and on hedge fund and private equity fund activities and investments set forth in the Volcker Rule. See "Supervision and Regulation" in Item 1 of our 2012 Form 10-K for additional information.

        Proposals to reform the housing finance market in the U.S. could also significantly affect our business. These proposals, among other things, consider winding down the government sponsored entities Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (GSEs) and reducing or eliminating over time the role of the GSEs in guaranteeing mortgages and providing funding for mortgage loans, as well as the implementation of reforms relating to borrowers, lenders, and investors in the mortgage market, including reducing the maximum size of a loan that the GSEs can guarantee, phasing in a minimum down payment requirement for borrowers, improving underwriting standards, and increasing accountability and transparency in the securitization process. While the specific nature of these reforms and their impact on the financial services industry in general, and on Union Bank in particular, is uncertain at this time, such reforms, if enacted, are likely to have a substantial impact on the mortgage market and could potentially reduce our income from mortgage originations by increasing mortgage costs or lowering originations. The GSE reforms could also reduce real estate prices, which could reduce the value of collateral securing outstanding mortgage loans. This reduction of collateral value could negatively impact the value or perceived collectability of these mortgage loans and may increase our allowance for loan losses. Such reforms may also include changes to the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which could adversely affect a significant source of term funding for lending activities by the banking industry, including Union Bank. These reforms may also result in higher interest rates on residential mortgage loans, thereby reducing demand, which could have an adverse impact on our residential mortgage lending business.

        President Obama's proposed 2014 U.S. budget includes a "Financial Crisis Responsibility Fee" that would apply to banks with greater than $50 billion in assets. This fee would be effective January 1, 2015 and would be intended to recover taxpayer funds provided to U.S. financial institutions through the U.S. Treasury's Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). On May 21, 2012, the U.S. Treasury announced its final rule to establish an assessment fee on institutions with greater than $50 billion in assets to fund the Office of Financial Research. Although we did not receive, and were not eligible to receive, direct TARP investment from the U.S. Treasury, as we have greater than $50 billion in assets, under the final rule we are subject to this fee. In April 2013, the Federal Reserve proposed a rule to implement Section 318 of the Dodd-Frank Act which would impose a new supervisory assessment on institutions with greater than $50 billion in assets, which would be assessed at the MUFG level, and would be based on an average of the total combined assets of MUFG from U.S. operations, net of U.S. intercompany balances and allowed transactions. Therefore, our operating costs over time can be expected to increase due to these assessments, which are based, among other things, on the projected operating expenses of this new office and the aggregate assessable assets of the subject banks.

        Several cities in the United States (including, Los Angeles and San Diego) have adopted so-called "responsible banking acts", and other cities are considering the adoption of similar ordinances. These city

87


Table of Contents

ordinances generally require banks that hold city government deposits to provide detailed accounts of their lending practices in low-income communities, as well as their participation in foreclosure prevention and home loan principal reduction programs. Performance under these ordinances is used as a basis for awarding the city's financial services contracts. The adoption of these ordinances by municipalities for which Union Bank is a provider of cash management or other banking services could result in increased regulatory and compliance costs and other operational costs and expenses, making this business less desirable to the Bank and potentially resulting in reduced opportunities for the Bank to provide these services.

        International laws, regulations and policies affecting us, our subsidiaries and the business we conduct may change at any time and affect our business opportunities and competitiveness in these jurisdictions. Due to our ownership by BTMU, laws, regulations, policies, fines and other supervisory actions adopted or enforced by the Government of Japan and the Federal Reserve Board may adversely affect our activities and investments and those of our subsidiaries in the future.

        In July 2013, the Federal Reserve Board and the other U.S. federal banking agencies adopted final rules making significant changes to the U.S. regulatory capital framework for U.S. banking organizations and to conform this framework to the Basel Committee's current international regulatory capital accord (Basel III). These rules, upon their effectiveness, will replace the federal banking agencies' general risk-based capital rules, advanced approaches rule, market risk rule, and leverage rules in accordance with certain transition provisions. Under the rules as adopted, banking organizations will be required to determine their regulatory capital requirements under either the advanced approaches or the standardized approach. Banking organizations may elect to use the advanced approaches (with regulatory approval), and certain banking organizations will be required to use the advanced approaches (e.g., those with total assets of $250 billion or more). For banking organizations whose regulatory capital requirements are determined under the advanced approaches, which we expect will include the Company, the effective date and the beginning of the transitional adjustments will be January 1, 2014, and for other banking organizations, January 1, 2015. The final rules establish more restrictive capital definitions, create additional categories and higher risk weightings for certain asset classes and off-balance sheet exposures, higher minimum capital and leverage ratios and capital conservation buffers that will be added to the minimum capital requirements and must be met for banking organizations to avoid being subject to certain limitations on dividends and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The final rules will provide for increased minimum capital ratios as follows: (a) a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%; (b) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6%; (c) a total capital ratio of 8%; and (d) a Tier 1 leverage ratio to average consolidated assets of 4%. The advanced approaches banking organizations will also be subject to a new and separate supplementary leverage ratio under which they will be required to maintain capital against not only on-balance sheet assets but also certain off-balance sheet assets and exposures, including derivative exposures. Banking organizations that are subject to the advanced approaches must include most elements of their accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) in determining their regulatory capital; banking organizations using the standardized approach may make a one-time permanent opt-out election to exclude most AOCI elements from regulatory capital. Advanced approaches banking organizations must also determine their capital ratios with reference to the lower of the standardized or advanced approaches.

        In addition, on December 20, 2011, the Federal Reserve Board announced a proposed rule to implement the enhanced prudential standards required by the Dodd-Frank Act for larger bank holding companies. The proposed enhanced prudential standards, which will apply to us, include increased capital, liquidity and leverage standards as well as enhanced risk management and governance. Also, new liquidity standards are expected to be adopted by U.S. bank regulatory agencies to conform, with some modifications, the liquidity requirements for U.S. banking organizations to those provided for in the Basel III global regulatory framework. These new liquidity standards could require that we raise and maintain additional liquidity.

        In December 2012, the Federal Reserve Board proposed enhanced prudential standards and early remediation rules for Foreign Banking Organizations (FBOs), operating in the U.S. such as our Company. This proposal could result in increased capital, liquidity and other financial and compliance costs for our Company

and the other U.S. operations of MUFG and BTMU. Included is a proposed intermediate holding company (IHC) concept which would require that MUFG's and BTMU's U.S. operations and businesses, including our Company, be held under a single IHC located in the U.S. (excluding, however, BTMU's U.S. branches which could be maintained separately). MUFG and BTMU are analyzing the potential impact of the FBO proposed rules on their U.S. operations (including UnionBanCal) and will make appropriate structural, operational and financial changes to comply with the FBO rules. Until the FBO rules are finalized, the significance of their impact on UnionBanCal, and MUFG's and BTMU's operations in the U.S. generally, cannot be determined.

        The newly-adopted capital rules of the Federal banking agencies, as described above, as well as the various proposed regulations described above, if adopted, may restrict our ability to grow during favorable market conditions, require us to raise additional capital and sources of liquidity, generally increase our cost of doing business, lead us to stop or reduce our offerings of various credit products and curtail our flexibility in the operation of our investment portfolio.

        We maintain systems and procedures designed to comply with applicable laws and regulations. However, some legal/regulatory frameworks provide for the imposition of criminal or civil penalties (which can be substantial) for noncompliance. In some cases, liability may attach even if the noncompliance was inadvertent or unintentional and even if compliance systems and procedures were in place at the time. There may be other negative consequences from a finding of noncompliance, including restrictions on certain activities and damage to our reputation.

        Additionally, our business is affected significantly by the fiscal and monetary policies of the U.S. federal government and its agencies. We are particularly affected by the policies of the Federal Reserve Board, which regulates the supply of money and credit in the U.S. Under the Dodd-Frank Act and a long-standing policy of the Federal Reserve Board, a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of financial and managerial strength for its subsidiary banks. As a result of that policy, we may be required to commit financial and other resources to our subsidiary bank in circumstances where we might not otherwise do so. Among the instruments of monetary policy available to the Federal Reserve Board are (a) conducting open market operations in U.S. Government securities, (b) changing the discount rates on borrowings by depository institutions and the federal funds rate, and (c) imposing or changing reserve requirements against certain borrowings by banks and their affiliates. These methods are used in varying degrees and combinations to directly affect the availability of bank loans and deposits, as well as the interest rates charged on loans and paid on deposits. The policies of the Federal Reserve Board can be expected to have a material effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

        Refer to "Supervision and Regulation" in Item 1 of our 2012 Form 10-K for discussion of certain existing and proposed laws and regulations that may affect our business.

        The increasing regulation of the financial services industry has required and can be expected to continue to require significant investments in technology, personnel or other resources. Our competitors may be subject to different or reduced degrees of regulation due to their asset size or types of products offered and may also be able to more efficiently utilize resources to comply with regulations and to more efficiently absorb increased regulatory compliance costs into their existing cost structure.

        Fluctuations in interest rates on deposits or other funding sources could adversely affect our margin spread

        Changes in market interest rates on deposits or other funding sources, including changes in the relationship between short-term and long-term market interest rates or between different interest rate indices, can impact, and has in past years impacted, our net interest margin (that is, the difference between the interest rates we charge on interest earning assets, such as loans, and the interest rates we pay on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits or other borrowings). This impact could result in a decrease in our interest income relative to interest expense. Increases in interest rates may also adversely impact the value of our investment securities portfolio and impact loan performance by making it more difficult for borrowers with adjustable rate

loans to service their debts. For the past several years, the banking industry has operated in an extremely low interest rate environment relative to historical averages, and the Federal Reserve Board has pursued highly accommodative monetary policies (including a very low federal funds rate and substantial purchases of long-term U.S. Treasury and agency securities) in an effort to facilitate growth in the U.S. economy and a reduction in levels of unemployment. This environment has placed downward pressure on the net interest margins of U.S. banks, including Union Bank. We cannot predict with any certainty whether or to what extent these Federal Reserve policies will continue.

    Company Factors

        The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ's and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group's credit ratings and financial or regulatory condition could adversely affect our operations

        Adverse changes to our credit ratings, reputation or creditworthiness could have a negative effect on our operations. We fund our operations in substantial part independently of BTMU and MUFG and believe our business is not necessarily closely related to the business or outlook of BTMU or MUFG. However, if BTMU and MUFG's credit ratings or financial condition or prospects were to decline, this could adversely affect our credit rating or harm our reputation or perceived creditworthiness.

        At this time, we cannot predict actions, if any, which the rating agencies may take regarding the Government of Japan, MUFG or BTMU, nor the ultimate effect of these developments on our credit rating.

        BTMU and MUFG are also subject to regulatory oversight, review and supervisory action (which can include fines or penalties) by Japanese and U.S. regulatory authorities. Our business operations and expansion plans could be negatively affected by regulatory concerns or supervisory action in the U.S. and in Japan against BTMU or MUFG. In June 2013, BTMU entered into a consent agreement with the New York State Department of Financial Services under which it was assessed a fine of $250,000,000 in connection with alleged violations of New York law with respect to certain clearing transactions entered into between 2002 and 2007 involving parties and countries sanctioned by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).

        BTMU has received requests and subpoenas for information from government agencies in some jurisdictions, including the United States, Europe and Japan, which are conducting investigations into past submissions made by panel members, including BTMU, to the bodies that set various interbank offered rates. BTMU is cooperating with these investigations and has been conducting an internal investigation. Union Bank is not a member of any of these panels. In addition, BTMU and other panel members have been named as defendants in a number of civil lawsuits, including putative class actions, in the United States relating to similar matters. It is currently not possible for us to predict the scope and ultimate outcome of these investigations or lawsuits, including any possible effect on us as a member of MUFG.

        Significant legal or regulatory proceedings could subject us to substantial uninsured liabilities

        We are from time to time subject to claims and proceedings related to our present or previous operations including claims by customers and our employees and our contractual counterparties. These claims, which could include supervisory or enforcement actions by bank regulatory authorities, or criminal proceedings by prosecutorial authorities, could involve demands for large monetary amounts, including civil money penalties or fines imposed by government authorities, and significant defense costs. To mitigate the cost of some of these claims, we maintain insurance coverage in amounts and with deductibles that we believe are appropriate for our operations. However, our insurance coverage does not cover any civil money penalties or fines imposed by government authorities and may not cover all other claims that have been or might be brought against us or continue to be available to us at a reasonable cost. As a result, we may be exposed to substantial uninsured liabilities, which could adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition. The federal bank regulators have announced regulatory enforcement actions against a number of large bank holding companies and banks arising from deficiencies in processes, procedures and controls involving anti-money laundering measures and compliance with the economic sanctions that affect transactions with

90


Table of Contents

designated foreign countries, nationals and others as provided for in the regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department. These actions evidence an intensification of the U.S. government's expectations for compliance with these regulatory regimes on the part of banks operating in the U.S., including Union Bank, and may result in increased compliance costs and increased risks of regulatory sanctions.

        We are subject to operational risks, including cybersecurity risks

        We are subject to many types of operational risks throughout our organization. Operational risk is the potential loss from our operations due to factors, such as failures in internal control, systems failures, cybersecurity risks or external events, that do not fall into the market risk or credit risk categories described in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations: Allowance for Credit Losses; Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk; and Liquidity Risk." Operational risk includes execution risk related to operational initiatives, including implementation of our technology enhancement projects, increased reliance on internally developed models for risk and finance management, reputational risk, legal and compliance risk, the risk of fraud or theft by employees, customers or outsiders, unauthorized transactions by employees or operational errors, including clerical or record-keeping errors or those resulting from faulty or disabled computer or telecommunications systems, and operational risks related to use of third party service providers. A discussion of risks associated with regulatory compliance appears above under the caption "The effects of changes or increases in, or supervisory enforcement of, banking or other laws and regulations or governmental fiscal or monetary policies could adversely affect us."

        Our operations rely on the secure processing, storage, transmission and reporting of personal, confidential and other sensitive information or data in our computer systems, networks and business applications. Although we take protective measures, our computer systems may be vulnerable to breaches, unauthorized access, misuse, computer viruses or other malicious code, and other events that could have significant negative consequences to us. Such events could result in interruptions or malfunctions in our or our customers' operations, interception, misuse or mishandling of personal, confidential or proprietary information and data, or processing of unauthorized transactions or loss of funds. These events could result in litigation and financial losses that are either not insured against or not fully covered by our insurance, regulatory consequences or reputational harm, any of which could harm our competitive position, operating results and financial condition. These types of incidents can remain undetected for extended periods of time, thereby increasing the associated risks. We may also be required to expend significant resources to modify our protective measures or to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or exposures arising from cybersecurity risks.

        Union Bank and reportedly other financial institutions have been the target of various denial-of-service or other cyber attacks as part of what appears to be a coordinated effort to disrupt the operations of financial institutions and potentially test their cybersecurity in advance of future and more advanced cyber attacks. These denial-of-service attacks have not breached the Company's data security systems, but require substantial resources to defend, and may affect customer satisfaction and behavior. To date we have not experienced any material losses relating to cyber attacks or other information security breaches, but there can be no assurance that we will not suffer such losses or information security breaches in the future. While we have a variety of cybersecurity measures in place, the consequences to our business of such attacks cannot be predicted with any certainty.

        We depend on the continued efficacy of our technical systems, operational infrastructure, relationships with third parties and our employees in our day-to-day and ongoing operations. Our dependence upon automated systems to record and process transactions may further increase the risk that technical system flaws or employee tampering or manipulation of those systems will result in losses that are difficult to detect or data which is not reliable. With regard to the physical infrastructure that supports our operations, we have taken measures to implement backup systems and other safeguards, but our ability to conduct business may be adversely affected by any disruption to that infrastructure. Failures in our internal control or operational systems, security breaches or service interruptions could impair our ability to operate our business and result in

potential liability to customers, reputational damage and regulatory intervention, any of which could harm our operating results and financial condition.

        In addition, there have been increasing efforts on the part of third parties to breach data security at financial institutions or with respect to financial transactions, including through the use of social engineering schemes such as "phishing." The ability of our customers to bank remotely, including online and through mobile devices, requires secure transmissions of confidential information and increases the risk of data security breaches which would expose us to financial claims by customers or others and which could adversely affect our reputation. Even if cyberattacks and similar tactics are not directed specifically at Union Bank, such attacks on other large financial institutions could disrupt the overall functioning of the financial system and undermine consumer confidence in banks generally, to the detriment of other financial institutions, including Union Bank.

        We may also be subject to disruptions of our operating systems arising from other events that are wholly or partially beyond our control, such as electrical, internet or telecommunications outages or unexpected difficulties with the implementation of our technology enhancement projects, which may give rise to disruption of service to customers and to financial loss or liability. Our business recovery plan may not work as intended or may not prevent significant interruptions of our operations.
