Translation of report filed with the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 1, 2003



                                                                 October 1, 2003

          Notice Concerning Transfer of the Substitutional Portion of
                   the Pension Fund of Mitsubishi Corporation


Mitsubishi Corporation wishes to advise that on October 1, 2003 it applied for
permission to be exempted from future benefit obligations of the welfare pension
plan. This follows a resolution passed by the Representative Committee of the
Pension Fund of Mitsubishi Corporation on September 18 to transfer the
substitutional portion of the fund to the Japanese government.

Furthermore, Mitsubishi Corporation plans to seek approval to transfer the
substitutional portion relating to past benefit obligations, which is possible
from September 1, 2003, after being exempted from future obligations for the
substitutional portion.

Based on calculations at March 31, 2003, Mitsubishi Corporation estimates that
as a result of the return of the substitutional portion, severance liabilities
of /527.8 billion will be reduced by approximately /90.0 billion. The company
also estimates that plan assets of /309.5 billion will be reduced by
approximately /45.0 billion.

The effect of the return of the substitutional portion on Mitsubishi Corporation's
earnings is not clear at this stage, as the amount is not fixed yet.
