DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

UnionBanCal Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “ Registrant ”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 10, 2005, a registration statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-127382) (the “ Registration Statement ”), to which this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates, for the purpose of registering 4,000,000 shares of its Common Stock, $1.00 par value per share (the “ Common Stock ”), which were originally registered for issuance pursuant to the Year 2000 UnionBanCal Corporation Management Stock Plan.

In accordance with an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 18, 2008, by and among the Registrant, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., a Japanese joint stock company (“ Parent ”), and Blue Jackets, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“ Merger Sub ”), on November 4, 2008, Merger Sub merged with and into the Registrant, with the Registrant as the surviving corporation (the “ Merger ”).

As a result of the Merger, all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock other than such shares owned by the Registrant, by Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc., a Japanese joint stock company and the parent company of Parent (“ MUFG ”), or its affiliates, or by holders of shares of Common Stock who have perfected appraisal rights, have been cancelled and converted into the right to receive $73.50. Accordingly, the Registrant hereby removes from registration, by means of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1, any and all shares of Common Stock registered under the Registration Statement that have not been issued prior to the Merger.
