NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        This report includes forward-looking statements, which include expectations for our operations and business and our assumptions for those expectations. Do not rely unduly on forward-looking statements. Actual results might differ significantly compared to our expectations. See Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors," in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in this report, and the other risks described in this report and in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K for factors to be considered when reading any forward-looking statements in this filing.

        This report includes forward-looking statements, which are subject to the "safe harbor" created by section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We may make forward-looking statements in our Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings, press releases, news articles and when we are speaking on behalf of UnionBanCal Corporation. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Often, they include the words "believe," "expect," "target," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "seek," "estimate," "potential," "project," or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could," "might," or "may." These forward-looking statements are intended to provide investors with additional information with which they may assess our future potential. All of these forward-looking statements are based on assumptions about an uncertain future and are based on information known to our management at the date of these statements. We do not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect facts, circumstances, assumptions or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made.

Any factor described in this report could by itself, or together with one or more other factors, adversely affect our business, future prospects, results of operations or financial condition.

Table of Contents

        This report includes forward-looking statements, which include expectations for our operations and business and our assumptions for those expectations. Do not rely unduly on forward-looking statements. Actual results might differ significantly compared to our expectations. Please refer to Part II Item 1A "Risk Factors" of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this Form 10-Q) for a discussion of some factors that may cause results to differ.

        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, 2010 (2010 Form 10-K) along with the following discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2011 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, Union Bank, N.A., one or more of their consolidated subsidiaries, or to all of them together.

Introduction

        We are a California-based financial holding company and commercial bank holding company whose major subsidiary, Union Bank, N.A. (the Bank), is a commercial bank. We provide a wide range of financial services to consumers, small businesses, middle-market companies and major corporations, primarily in California, Oregon, Washington and Texas, as well as nationally and internationally. We had consolidated assets of $80.6 billion at March 31, 2011.

        On November 4, 2008, we became a privately held company (privatization transaction). All of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock are owned by The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. (BTMU). Prior to the privatization transaction, BTMU owned approximately 64 percent of our outstanding shares of common stock.

Executive Overview

        We are providing you with an overview of what we believe are the most significant factors and developments that impacted our first quarter 2011 results and that could impact 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 revenue are net interest income and noninterest income. Net interest income is generated predominantly from interest received from loans, investment securities and other interest-earning assets, less interest paid on deposits and borrowings. The primary sources of noninterest income are revenues from service charges on deposit accounts, trust and investment management fees, and trading account activities. Changes in interest rates, credit quality, economic trends and the capital markets are primary factors that impact our revenue sources. A summary of our key financial results are presented below:

    Performance Highlights

        In the first quarter of 2011, total revenue was comprised of 72 percent net interest income and 28 percent noninterest income. Our net interest income increased $44 million, or 8 percent, to $618 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010. Our net interest margin increased 51 basis points to 3.49 percent compared to the same period last year. The increase in net interest margin was primarily driven by a decrease in lower yielding interest bearing deposits in banks and by lower rates paid on interest bearing liabilities driven by targeted rate reductions in interest bearing deposits. Reflecting this planned deposit decline, our average interest bearing deposits decreased by 21 percent to $42.3 billion compared to the first quarter of 2010. Likewise, our average interest bearing deposits in banks decreased by 82 percent to

7


Table of Contents

$1.2 billion compared to the first quarter of 2010. This resulted in a decrease in the annualized average all-in-cost of funds from 0.62 percent in the first quarter of 2010 to 0.51 percent in the first quarter of 2011.

        In the first quarter of 2011, our noninterest income increased $30 million, or 14 percent, from the first quarter of 2010 to $240 million, primarily due to a gain on the sale of MasterCard shares and higher trading account revenue, partially offset by reductions in service charges on deposit accounts. Our noninterest expense increased $90 million, or 17 percent, to $615 million compared to the same period last year, primarily due to higher base salaries, largely driven by the growth in the number of employees partially as a result of our Tamalpais and Frontier acquisitions, benefits and incentive compensation accruals, and certain reserves for contingencies. These increases were partially offset by lower regulatory assessment expense, higher reversals for provision for losses on off-balance sheet commitments and lower privatization-related intangible asset amortization.

        During the first quarter of 2011, the total reversal of provision for credit losses was $115 million compared to a total provision for credit losses of $165 million in the first quarter of 2010. The decrease was primarily due to improved credit quality of the loan portfolio, reflecting a reduced level of criticized balances, including lower nonaccrual loans and lower loss factors during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010. See further discussion below under "Allowance for Credit Losses."

        Our nonperforming assets totaled $1.0 billion and $1.1 billion at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Our nonperforming assets, excluding FDIC covered assets, totaled $815 million and $890 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The decrease in nonperforming assets, excluding FDIC covered assets, from December 31, 2010 resulted from lower levels of nonaccrual loans primarily in our commercial mortgage portfolio and our construction portfolio as a result of increased sales and charge-offs of problem loans in the first quarter of 2011. Total net loan charge-offs were $53 million in the first quarter of 2011 and $119 million in the first quarter of 2010.

    Balance Sheet Highlights

        Our total assets increased $1.5 billion, or 2 percent, to $80.6 billion at March 31, 2011 from December 31, 2010. Interest bearing deposits in banks increased $1.7 billion from $0.2 billion at December 31, 2010 to $1.9 billion at March 31, 2011, partially offset by a $0.5 billion, or 2 percent decrease in securities available for sale from the corresponding balances at December 31, 2010.

        Our total liabilities increased $1.3 billion, or 2 percent, to $70.0 billion at March 31, 2011 from December 31, 2010, primarily due to an increase in commercial paper and other short-term borrowings, partially offset by a decrease in interest bearing deposits. This planned deposit decline resulted primarily from targeted rate reductions. Total loans increased $168 million to $47.1 billion at March 31, 2011 from December 31, 2010. Total loans, excluding FDIC covered loans, also remained relatively flat compared to December 31, 2010.

        Our stockholder's equity of $10.4 billion at March 31, 2011 grew $230 million, or 2 percent, from December 31, 2010. Our Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio increased to 12.84 percent from 12.44 percent, the total risk-based capital ratio increased to 15.41 percent from 15.01 percent and our tangible common equity ratio increased to 9.80 percent from 9.67 percent, at March 31, 2011 from December 31, 2010, respectively. These capital ratios increased during the period primarily as capital accumulation from earnings retention outpaced capital requirements to support our asset growth.

Critical Accounting Estimates

        UnionBanCal Corporation's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and the general practices of the banking industry, 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 determine the fair value of certain assets and liabilities. A change in the discount factor or another important assumption could significantly increase or decrease the values 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 inherent credit loss present in our loan and lease portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the loss factors that we use. Other significant estimates that we use include the fair values of our acquired loans (see Note 5 in this Form 10-Q), FDIC indemnification asset, and certain derivatives and securities (see Notes 10 and 11 in this Form 10-Q), assumptions used in measuring our pension obligations, and assumptions regarding our effective income 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 2010 Form 10-K filed with the SEC. There have been no material changes to these critical accounting estimates during the first quarter of 2011.

Table of Contents

        Net interest income for the first quarter of 2011, on a taxable-equivalent basis, increased $43 million, or 7 percent, compared to the first quarter of 2010. Our net interest margin in the first quarter of 2011 increased by 51 basis points to 3.49 percent compared to the first quarter of 2010. These results were primarily due to the following:

    Average earning assets decreased $6.3 billion, or 8 percent, primarily due to a decrease in average interest bearing deposits in banks and a decrease in securities, partially offset by an increase in average loans. As our average interest bearing deposit liabilities declined by $11.1 billion, or 21 percent, as part of a planned deposit decline driven by targeted rate reductions, we reduced our interest bearing deposits in banks by $5.4 billion, or 82 percent;

    Yields on our average earning assets increased 40 basis points due to a decrease in lower yielding assets, primarily interest bearing deposits in banks;

    Average noninterest bearing deposits represented 29 percent of average total deposits in the first quarter of 2011 compared to 21 percent in the first quarter of 2010; and

    For the first quarter of 2011, the annualized average all-in cost of funds was 0.51 percent and our average loan-to-total deposit ratio was 81 percent. For the first quarter of 2010, the annualized average all-in cost of funds was 0.62 percent and our average loan-to-total deposit ratio was 69 percent.

        The primary contributors to the changes in our noninterest income and noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010 are presented below.

        The increase in our noninterest income was the result of several factors:

      Other revenue increased primarily due to a $15 million gain on the sale of MasterCard shares;

      Trading account income increased due to a $7 million increase in interest rate derivatives trading income and an increase of $5 million in credit derivative income; and

      Merchant banking fees increased primarily due to a $3 million increase in syndicated loan activity and a $3 million increase in referral fees; partially offset by

      Service charges on deposit accounts decreased primarily due to lower overdraft fees resulting from changes in customer behavior and the impact of changes to fee-related regulations; and

      Securities gains, net decreased primarily due to a $6 million reduction in gains on the sales of securities.

        The increase in our noninterest expense was the result of several factors:

      Salaries and other compensation expenses increased due to higher base salaries, largely driven by the growth in the number of employees partially as a result of our Tamalpais and Frontier acquisitions, and incentive compensation accruals;

      Benefit cost increased primarily due to higher taxes and pension costs; and

      Other expenses increased primarily due to certain reserves for contingencies; partially offset by

      Regulatory assessments decreased $9 million due to a reduction in the assessment rate and lower deposit balances;

12


Table of Contents

      Reversal of provision for losses on off-balance sheet commitments increased $8 million, primarily due to improved credit quality of our unfunded commitments; and

      Expenses related to our privatization transaction included an $8 million decrease in amortization of intangible assets and a decrease in other privatization-related costs of $5 million, primarily due to higher amortization of privatization-related compensation awards in the first quarter of 2010.

        The core efficiency ratio, excluding the privatization transaction, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management to measure the efficiency of our operations, focusing on those costs most relevant to our core activities. The following table shows the calculation of this ratio for the first quarters of 2011 and 2010.

Income Tax Expense

        Our effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2011 was 33 percent, compared to 17 percent for the first quarter of 2010. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily due to higher income before taxes in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to 2010. The amount of income tax credits remained consistent from year to year, but their impact on our effective tax rate decreased as our income before taxes increased.

        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 12 to the consolidated financial statements in our 2010 Form 10-K.

Securities

        Management of the securities portfolio involves the maximization of return while maintaining prudent levels of quality, market risk and liquidity. At March 31, 2011, approximately 95 percent of our securities, based upon amortized cost, were investment grade. The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses and fair values of securities are detailed in Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

Table of Contents

        Our securities available for sale are recorded at fair value with the change in fair value recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. Our Asset and Liability Management (ALM) Securities portfolio consists of available for sale U.S. Government, state and municipal, mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities held for ALM purposes. Our ALM Securities portfolio had a fair value of $20.1 billion and an expected weighted average maturity of 3.2 years.

        Our securities held to maturity consist of collateralized loan obligations (CLO) securities, which primarily consist of Cash Flow CLOs. A Cash Flow CLO is a structured finance product that securitizes a diversified pool of loan assets into multiple classes of notes from the cash flows generated by such loans. 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.

    Commercial, Financial and Industrial Loans

        The commercial, financial and industrial loan category is the second largest category in our loan portfolio. These loans are extended principally to corporations, middle-market businesses and small businesses. Our commercial market lending originates loans primarily through our commercial banking offices. These offices, which rely extensively on relationship-oriented banking, provide a variety of services including cash management services, 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, wholesale trade, communications, entertainment, healthcare, retailing, and financial services. These industries comprise the majority of our commercial, financial and industrial portfolio. While loans extended within these sectors comprise the majority of our commercial, financial and industrial portfolio, no individual industry sector exceeded 10 percent of our total loans held for investment at either March 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

Table of Contents

        The commercial, financial and industrial portfolio has been essentially flat from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011, reflecting uneven growth in new loan opportunities coupled with continued low utilization rates on our existing revolving facilities. Overall portfolio credit quality continues to improve as borrowers' financial condition improves and as they have access to more refinancing options.

    Construction and Commercial Mortgage Loans

        We engage in real estate lending that includes commercial mortgage loans and construction loans secured by deeds of trust. The commercial mortgage loan portfolio consists of loans secured by commercial income properties primarily in California. The commercial mortgage portfolio decreased from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011 due primarily to early repayments and normal loan paydowns, partially offset by new originations.

        Construction loans are extended primarily to commercial property developers and to residential builders. As of March 31, 2011, the construction loan portfolio consisted of approximately 85 percent in the commercial income producing real estate industry and 15 percent with residential homebuilders. The construction loan portfolio decreased 21 percent from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011 due to declines of $295 million, or 24 percent, in the income property portfolio and $17 million, or 9 percent, in the homebuilder portfolio. The income property portfolio reductions were concentrated mostly in the office and apartment property types. Geographically, the outstanding construction loan portfolio was concentrated 40 percent in California and 60 percent out-of-state as of March 31, 2011. The largest out-of-state concentration was 22 percent in Washington. The California outstandings are distributed as follows: 55 percent in the Los Angeles/Orange County region, including the Inland Empire, 14 percent in the San Francisco Bay Area, 11 percent in Sacramento and the Central Valley, 10 percent in San Diego, and 10 percent in the Central Coast region.

    Residential Mortgage Loans

        We originate residential mortgage loans, 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, and we periodically purchase loans in our market area.

        At March 31, 2011, 73 percent of our residential mortgage loans were interest only, none of which are negative amortizing. At origination, these interest only loans had strong credit profiles and had weighted average loan-to-value (LTV) ratios of approximately 67 percent. The remainder of the portfolio consists of a small amount of balloon loans and regularly amortizing loans.

        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, which represent only a small segment of the portfolio). At March 31, 2011, the outstanding balances of the "no doc" and "low doc" portfolios were approximately 36 percent of our total residential loan portfolio, and the loan delinquency rates with respect to these portfolios remained low compared to the industry average for California prime loans. At March 31, 2011, the aggregate balance of "no doc" and "low doc" loans past due 30 days or more was $163 million, compared to $175 million at December 31, 2010.

        Total residential mortgage loans 30 days or more delinquent were $339 million at March 31, 2011, compared to $350 million at December 31, 2010. Our residential loan delinquency rates have remained low when compared to the industry average for California prime loans. We believe that our underwriting standards remain conservative, and as described above, programs with higher risk have been discontinued.

        We hold substantially all of the loans we originate; however, we do sell some of our 30-year, fixed rate loans.

    Consumer Loans

        We originate consumer loans, including home equity loans and lines, principally through our branch network and Private Banking Offices. Our total home equity loans and lines delinquent 30 days or more were $40 million at March 31, 2011, compared to $36 million at December 31, 2010. All equity secured lines are reviewed annually for creditworthiness, either manually or in an automated fashion, regardless of the line amount or when they were originated. Those equity lines that were originated since 2004 with a commitment amount over $200,000 are manually reviewed, which includes obtaining an updated credit report as well as an updated value on the property to reassess our LTV position. We typically reduce or freeze limits, as applicable and pursuant to applicable laws and regulations, to minimize additional exposure during periods of declining home prices.

    Lease Financing

        We offer two types of leases to our customers: direct financing leases, where the assets leased are acquired without additional financing from other sources; and leveraged leases, where a substantial portion of the financing is provided by debt with no recourse to us. At March 31, 2011, we had leveraged leases of $535 million, which were net of non-recourse debt of approximately $1.1 billion. We utilize a number of special purpose entities for our leveraged leases. These entities do not function as vehicles to shift liabilities to other parties or to deconsolidate affiliates for financial reporting purposes. As allowed by US GAAP 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.

    FDIC Covered Loans

        We acquired loans as part of the FDIC-assisted acquisitions of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities of Frontier Bank (Frontier) and Tamalpais Bank (Tamalpais) during the second quarter of 2010. All of the acquired loans are covered under loss share agreements with the FDIC and are referred to as "FDIC covered loans." We will be reimbursed for a substantial portion of any future losses on the FDIC covered loans under the terms of the FDIC loss share agreements. Total FDIC covered loans outstanding at March 31, 2011 were $1.4 billion, which consisted of $707 million of commercial mortgage loans, $387 million of commercial, financial and industrial loans, $184 million of construction loans, and $112 million of other loans.

    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 $838 million and $804 million, as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. 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. For Canada, any significant local currency outstandings are funded by local currency borrowings.

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 leases and 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.

16


Table of Contents

Accordingly, our significant policies and methodology 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 our "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 2010 Form 10-K. Unless otherwise noted, all ratios that follow in this section include FDIC covered loans.

    Comparison of the Total Allowances and Related Provision for Credit Losses Compared to December 31, 2010

        At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our total allowance for credit losses, excluding FDIC covered loans, was $1.2 billion, or 2.48 percent of total loans held for investment, and $1.3 billion, or 2.85 percent of total loans held for investment, respectively. At March 31, 2011, total allowance for credit losses, excluding FDIC covered loans, of $1.2 billion consisted of $1 billion for loan losses and $0.2 billion for losses on off-balance sheet commitments, and was comprised of $0.9 billion of allocated allowance and $0.3 billion of unallocated allowance. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our allowance for loan losses on FDIC covered loans was $23 million and $25 million, respectively.

        We recorded a reversal of the provision for loan losses, excluding FDIC covered loans, of $102 million in the first quarter of 2011, compared to a provision for loan losses of $170 million during the first quarter of 2010. In the first quarter of 2011, the reversal of the provision, excluding FDIC covered loans, was primarily attributable to the improved credit quality of the loan portfolio and lower loss factors. The improved credit quality of the loan portfolio was particularly evident in lower levels of criticized credits in the commercial segment, which declined from $3.4 billion at December 31, 2010 to $2.9 billion at March 31, 2011, continuing the significant downward trend that was observed during the second half of 2010. The ratio of nonaccrual loans to total loans held for investment decreased to 1.81 percent at March 31, 2011 from 2.01 percent at December 31, 2010. In addition, annualized net loans charged off to average loans outstanding for the first quarter of 2011 decreased to 0.44 percent from 1.03 percent for the first quarter of 2010.

        At March 31, 2011, the allocated portion of the allowance for credit losses included $395 million related to special mention and classified credits (criticized credits), compared to $468 million at December 31, 2010. Criticized credits are those that are internally risk graded as "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. 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.

    Changes in the Unallocated Allowance

        The unallocated allowance at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $251 million and $298 million, respectively. The decrease from December 31, 2010 to March 31, 2011 was primarily due to several key factors, including improvement in our commercial mortgage and residential mortgage loan portfolios. The unallocated allowance balance continues to reflect the negative impact of the persistent high unemployment (in particular in California), the adverse impact on the housing market from weak home prices, elevated foreclosure levels and extended collection periods for residential real estate loans, the fiscal challenges for the State of California and local governments, the impact of volatile natural gas prices and crude oil prices on energy companies, and on consumer discretionary spending, and the impact of the recent natural disasters in Japan on our commercial, financial and industrial loan portfolios.

Nonperforming Assets

        Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans, including restructured loans that are nonperforming and OREO. Nonaccrual loans are those for which management has discontinued accrual of interest because there exists significant uncertainty as to the full and 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 2010 Form 10-K.

        OREO includes property where the Bank acquired title through foreclosure or "deed in lieu" of foreclosure.

        During the first quarters of 2011 and 2010, we sold nonperforming loans of $59 million and $34 million, respectively. Covered assets that were nonperforming at March 31, 2011 totaled $217 million, representing 0.27 percent of total assets. All covered assets are subject to loss share agreements with the FDIC. See Notes 1 and 2 in our consolidated financial statements included in our 2010 Form 10-K for more information on covered assets and FDIC loss share agreements.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

        Troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) are those loans for which we have granted a concession to a 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 extensions of the maturity date, changes to loan-to-value requirements, rate reductions, forbearance or other actions, which may cause the related loan to be classified as a TDR. 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. A TDR loan being considered for return to accrual status must have reasonable assurance of repayment and performance according to the modified terms and also be supported by a current well-documented credit evaluation under the revised terms. Generally, a minimum of six consecutive months of sustained performance is required in the evaluation of whether a TDR should be returned to accrual status.

        Acquired loans restructured after acquisition are not considered TDRs for purposes of our accounting and disclosure if the loans evidenced credit deterioration as of the acquisition date and are accounted for in pools.

        The following table provides a summary of total TDRs, including nonaccrual loans and loans that have been returned to accrual status, as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        Our exposure to market risk primarily exists in interest rate risk in our non-trading balance sheet and, to a much lesser degree, in price risk in our trading portfolio. The objective of market risk management is to mitigate any undue adverse impact on earnings and capital arising from changes in interest rates and other market variables and to ensure the Bank has adequate sources of liquidity. This risk management objective supports our broad objective of enhancing shareholder value, which encompasses stable earnings growth over time as well as capital stability.

        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 Bank's risk tolerance guidelines by outlining standards for measuring market and liquidity risks, creates Board-level limits for specific market risks, establishes guidelines for reporting market and liquidity risk and requires independent review and oversight of market and liquidity risk activities.

        The Risk & Capital Committee (RCC), comprised of selected senior officers of the Bank, among other things, strives to ensure that the Bank has an effective process to identify, measure, monitor, 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/return direction for the Bank, delegating to and reviewing market risk management activities of the Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) and by approving the investment, derivatives and trading policies that govern the Bank'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.

21


Table of Contents

        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 the Global Capital Markets Group (GCMG) is responsible for managing price risk through the trading activities conducted in GCMG. The Market Risk Management (MRM) unit is responsible for the monitoring of market risk and functions independently of all operating and management units.

        The Bank 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 (NII) and of Economic Value of Equity (EVE) to changes in interest rates. In managing interest rate risk, ALCO monitors NII sensitivity over various time horizons and in response to a variety of interest rate changes.

        Our NII policy measurement involves a simulation of "Earnings-at-Risk" (EaR) in which we estimate the earnings impact of gradual parallel shifts in the yield curve of up and down 200 basis points over a 12-month horizon, given our projected balance sheet profile. However, during the first quarter of 2010, under RCC delegated authority to approve temporary changes to risk measurement, the -200 basis point parallel scenario was replaced with a -100 basis point parallel scenario. This change reflected the low probability associated with rate reductions of 200 basis points in the current extremely low rate environment, and the acceptance of a scenario that better reflects historically low rate levels achieved in the past. The +200 basis point scenario was not changed. The RCC will monitor the rate environment and will consider restoring the -200 basis point measure in the future when deemed appropriate. Under the ALM Policy, the EaR in either the up or down scenarios is limited to a negative 4 percent change in NII as compared to a base case scenario that holds interest rates unchanged.

        Our EaR simulations use a 12-month projected balance sheet in order to model the impact of interest rate changes. Assumptions are made to model the future behavior of deposit rates and loan spreads based on statistical analysis, management's outlook, and historical experience. The prepayment risks related to residential loans and mortgage-backed securities are measured using a calibrated 3rd party model that estimates prepayment speeds.

        At March 31, 2011, EaR was asset sensitive to upward parallel rate shifts and liability sensitive to downward parallel rate shifts. We caution that the extremely low current interest rate environment and ongoing enhancements to our interest rate risk modeling may make prior year comparisons of EaR less meaningful.

Earnings (Accounting NII) at Risk

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

Accounting NII. With regard to the curve shape, curve steepening would improve Accounting NII while curve flattening would slightly decrease Accounting NII.

        In addition to EaR, we measure the sensitivity of EVE to interest rate shocks. EVE-at-Risk is reviewed and monitored for its compliance with ALCO guidelines. Our EVE-at-Risk at March 31, 2011 reflected a moderate but similar exposure to rising rates as compared to December 31, 2010. Additionally, our EVE-at-Risk showed moderate exposure to falling rates, due to the nature of the low rate environment.

        We believe that, together, our EaR and EVE simulations provide management with a reasonably comprehensive view of the sensitivity of our operating results and value profile 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 as modeling techniques and theory evolve. Consequently, our simulation models cannot predict with any degree of certainty how rising or falling interest rates might impact net interest income. Actual and simulated results will differ to the extent there are variances between actual and assumed interest rate changes, balance sheet volumes and management strategies, among other factors. Key underlying assumptions include prepayment speeds on mortgage-related assets, changes in market conditions, loan volume and pricing, deposit volume and price sensitivity, customer preferences and cash flows and maturities of derivative financial instruments.

    ALM Activities

        During the first quarter of 2011, the Bank's asset sensitive EaR profile increased largely due to changes in forecasted activity related to deposit composition, loan mix and a reduction of low yielding investments pending greater regulatory clarity on Basel III liquidity rules. In managing the interest rate sensitivity of our balance sheet, we use the ALM investment securities portfolio and derivatives positions as the primary tools to adjust our interest rate risk profile, if necessary.

    ALM Securities

        At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our available for sale securities portfolio included $20.1 billion and $20.6 billion, respectively, of securities for ALM purposes. At March 31, 2011, approximately $4.9 billion of the portfolio was pledged to secure trust and public deposits and for other purposes as required or permitted by law. During the first quarter of 2011, we purchased $2.9 billion and sold $1.9 billion par value of securities, as part of our investment portfolio strategy, while $1.3 billion par value of ALM securities matured or were called.

        Based on current prepayment projections, the estimated ALM securities portfolio's effective duration was 2.2 at both March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Effective duration is a measure of price sensitivity of a bond portfolio to immediate parallel shifts in interest rates. An effective duration of 2.2 suggests an expected price decrease of approximately 2.2 percent for an immediate 1.0 percent parallel increase in interest rates.

    ALM Derivatives

        During the first quarter of 2011, the ALM derivatives portfolio decreased by $500 million notional amount due to terminations of $1 billion in pay fixed rate swaps associated with the issuance of fixed rate debt offset by the addition of $500 million of pay fixed rate swaps to hedge variable rate borrowings.

        The fair value of the ALM derivatives portfolio decreased primarily due to the termination of pay fixed rate swaps and the erosion of time value on interest rate cap contracts. The decrease was partially offset by pay fixed rate interest rate swaps which benefit from the expectation of higher rates. For additional discussion of

Trading Activities

        We enter into trading account activities primarily as a financial intermediary for customers and, to some 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 supporting 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 conservatively 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 the sale of capital markets products to customers, 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 securities trading income from customer-related transactions.

        As of March 31, 2011, we had $32.9 billion notional amount of interest rate derivative contracts. We enter into these agreements for customer accommodations and for our own account, accepting risks up to management approved VaR levels. As of March 31, 2011, we had $2.8 billion notional amount of foreign exchange derivative contracts. We enter into these agreements for customer accommodations to support their hedging and operating needs and for our own account, accepting risks up to management approved VaR levels. As of March 31, 2011, we had $5.0 billion notional amount of commodity derivative contracts. We enter into such contracts to satisfy the needs of our customers, and remove our exposure to market risk by entering into matching contracts with other counterparties.

Liquidity Risk

        Liquidity risk is the risk that the Bank's financial condition or overall safety and soundness is adversely affected by an inability, or perceived inability, to meet its contractual obligations. The objective of liquidity risk management is to maintain a sufficient amount of liquidity and diversity of funding sources to allow the Bank to meet expected and unexpected 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. Corporate Treasury formulates the Bank's liquidity and contingency planning strategies and is responsible for identifying, monitoring 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. RCC and ALCO also maintain a Contingency Funding Plan that identifies actions to be taken to help ensure adequate liquidity if an event should occur that disrupts or adversely affects the Bank's normal funding activities. In 2010, the federal bank regulators adopted an Interagency Policy Statement on Funding and Liquidity Risk Management, which sets forth the regulators' supervisory expectations for all insured depository institutions for management of funding and liquidity risk. The Bank's Board of Directors has approved a number of measures aimed at assuring compliance with the policy statement, including a formal ALM Policy with specific governance on liquidity risk management.

        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. 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, 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,

25


Table of Contents


optimizing liability levels through pricing strategies, adding new funding sources, altering dependency on certain funding sources and/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. 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 these sources primarily to meet our contingency funding needs.

        To support asset growth, wholesale funding increased by $2.7 billion from $8.8 billion at December 31, 2010 to $11.5 billion at March 31, 2011, more than offsetting the decline in deposit balances. Total deposits declined $1.3 billion from $60.0 billion at December 31, 2010 to $58.7 billion at March 31, 2011 largely due to planned interest bearing deposit declines resulting from targeted rate reductions.

        Core deposits, which consist of total deposits excluding brokered deposits and time deposits of $100,000 and over, provide us with a sizable source of relatively stable and low-cost funds. At March 31, 2011, our core deposits totaled $48.0 billion and our total loan-to-total deposit ratio was 82 percent.

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

    The Bank has pledged collateral under secured borrowing facilities with the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB). As of March 31, 2011, the Bank had $4.8 billion of borrowings outstanding with the FHLB, and the Bank had a remaining combined unused borrowing capacity from the FHLB and the FRB of $18.0 billion.

    Our securities portfolio provides liquidity through either securities sales or repurchase agreements. Total unpledged securities were $15.2 billion at March 31, 2011, unchanged from December 31, 2010.

    The Bank has a $4.0 billion unsecured Bank Note Program. Available funding under the Bank Note Program was $2.2 billion at March 31, 2011, unchanged from December 31, 2010. 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. UnionBanCal Corporation has in place a shelf registration with the SEC permitting ready access to the public debt markets. As of March 31, 2011, $1.5 billion of debt or other securities were available for issuance under this shelf registration. We do not have any firm commitments in place to sell securities under this shelf registration.

        We believe that these sources, in addition to our core deposits and equity capital, provide a stable funding base. We have not historically relied on BTMU for our funding needs. Management does not rely on any one source of liquidity and manages availability in response to changing balance sheet 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.

        We and Union Bank are subject to various regulations of the federal banking agencies, including minimum capital requirements. We are both required 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). As of March 31, 2011, management believes the capital ratios of Union Bank met all regulatory requirements of "well-capitalized" institutions.

        In addition to capital ratios determined in accordance with regulatory requirements, we consider various other measures when evaluating capital utilization and adequacy. These non-regulatory 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 UNBC's capital structure to other

        Our stockholder's equity increased 2 percent to $10.4 billion at March 31, 2011, from $10.1 billion at December 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2011 our tangible common equity ratio had improved to 9.80 percent from 9.67 percent at December 31, 2010. The increase was primarily due to the growth in tangible capital which outpaced the growth in the related tangible assets. Tier 1 common equity ratio increased to 12.84 percent at March 31, 2011 from 12.42 percent at December 31, 2010, primarily due to capital accumulation from earnings retention outpacing capital requirements to support our asset growth.

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.

        The risk-adjusted return on capital (RAROC) methodology used seeks to attribute economic capital to business units consistent with the level of risk they assume. These risks are primarily credit and operational, given that most of the market risk is not assumed by the business unit. Credit risk is the potential loss in

29


Table of Contents


economic value due to the likelihood that the obligor will not perform as agreed. Operational risk is the potential loss due to all other factors, such as failures in internal control, system failures or external events. Market risk is the potential loss in fair value due to changes in interest rates, currency rates, commodity prices and equity prices. RAROC may be one of several measures that is used to measure business unit compensation.

        We reflect a "market view" perspective in measuring our business segments. The market view is a measurement of our 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." The market view approach fosters cross-selling with a total profitability view of the products and services being managed.

        Unlike financial accounting, there is no authoritative body of guidance for management accounting equivalent to US 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 table that follows reflects the condensed income statements, selected average balance sheet items, and selected financial ratios, including changes from the prior year, for each of our reportable business segments. Business unit results are prepared using various management accounting methodologies to measure the performance of the individual units. Our management 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. During the first quarter of 2011, we refined our transfer pricing methodology for non-maturity deposits to reflect expected balance run-off and average life assumptions. During the first quarter of 2010, we refined our transfer pricing methodology with respect to reference rates for deposits and to include additional assumptions about liquidity premiums, benefits granted for eligible loan collateral and charges for collateral requirements on deposits.

    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 a predetermined percentage of usage.

    A RAROC methodology, in which credit expense is charged to an operating segment based upon expected losses arising from credit risk. In addition, the attribution of economic capital is related to unexpected losses arising from credit and operational risks and, to a lesser extent, market risk. As a result of the methodology used in the RAROC model to calculate expected losses, 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.

    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 that will 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 the following major divisions: Community Banking and Consumer Lending.

    the Community Banking Division serves its customers through 348 full-service branches in California and 53 full-service branches in Oregon and Washington. 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 conveniently located 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 center 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.

        During the first quarter of 2011, net income of Retail Banking decreased compared to the same period in 2010, resulting from a 22 percent increase in noninterest expense, partially offset by a 16 percent increase in net interest income. Noninterest expense increased by 22 percent during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, primarily due to increased overhead allocation costs, ongoing acquisition-related expenses, and staff costs. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to increased margin combined with the growth in loans and interest bearing deposits.

        Average asset growth for the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010 was primarily driven by a 4 percent growth in average loans, mainly in residential mortgages.

        Average deposits increased 20 percent during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The key drivers for this increase include acquisition-related deposits and Retail Banking's strategy, which continues to focus on marketing activities to attract new consumer and small business deposits, customer cross-sell, and relationship management.

        Noninterest income decreased by 2 percent during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to lower service charges on deposits driven by new fee-related regulations and changes in consumer behavior.

    Corporate Banking

        Corporate Banking offers a range of financial products to both middle market and corporate businesses headquartered throughout the U.S. Corporate Banking focuses its activities on specific specialized industries, such as power and utilities, petroleum, real estate, healthcare, equipment leasing and commercial finance as well as general corporate and middle-market lending in regional markets throughout the U.S. 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, foreign exchange and various interest rate risk and commodity risk management products. These products are delivered through deposit managers and product specialists with significant industry expertise and experience in businesses of all sizes including numerous vertical industry niches such as U.S. correspondent banks and certain government entities.

        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 a customer's primary banks. Consistent with this strategy, Corporate Banking business units attempt to serve a large part of the targeted customers' credit and depository needs. The Corporate Banking business units compete 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 bank." 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 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; and

    National Banking 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 healthcare, entertainment, food and beverage.

    Specialized Industries 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 and non-profits.

    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 Equipment Leasing arm provides lease financing services to corporate customers; and

    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. Additionally, this division includes the Institutional Services operating unit, which provides custody, corporate trust, and retirement plan services. The client base of this operating unit includes financial institutions, corporations, government agencies, unions, insurance companies, mutual funds, investment managers and non-profit organizations. Custody Services provides both domestic and international safekeeping/settlement services in addition to securities lending. Corporate Trust acts as trustee for corporate and municipal debt issues, and provides escrow services and trustee services for project finance. Retirement Plan Services provides defined benefit services, including trustee services and investment management.

    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, which consists of HighMark Capital Management, Inc., a subsidiary of Union Bank and a registered investment advisor, provides investment management and advisory services to institutional clients as well as investment advisory, administration and support services to our proprietary mutual funds, the affiliated HighMark Funds. It also provides investment management services to Union Bank with respect to most of its trust and agency clients, including corporations, pension funds and individuals. HighMark Capital Management, Inc.'s strategy is to expand distribution, to broaden its client base and to increase its assets under management.

        During the first quarter of 2011, net income of Corporate Banking increased 47 percent, compared to the same period in 2010, resulting from a 4 percent increase in net interest income, a 13 percent increase in noninterest income and a 33 percent decrease in credit expense. During the first quarter of 2011, average loans decreased 3 percent compared to the same period in 2010 primarily due to decreases in our commercial mortgage portfolio and real estate construction portfolio, partially offset by an increase in our commercial and industrial loan portfolio.

        During the first quarter of 2011, average deposits decreased 26 percent compared to the same period of 2010, primarily due to decreases in interest bearing core deposits and money market deposits. This planned deposit decline resulted primarily from targeted rate reductions. Noninterest income increased 13 percent during the first quarter of 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, primarily due to higher trading income, merchant banking fees, trust fees, brokerage commissions and fees and gains on the sale of private capital investments, partially offset by lower deposit fees. Noninterest expense decreased 2 percent during the first

quarter of 2011, compared to the same period of 2010, primarily due to decreased staff costs and regulatory assessments.

    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 headquartered in either Japan or the U.S.;

    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 under RAROC and the provision for credit losses under US 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 non-bank 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; and

    the adjustment between the tax expense calculated using the adjusted statutory tax rate of 39.1 percent and our consolidated effective tax rate.

        The increase in net income of $126 million for the first quarter of 2011 compared with the first quarter of 2010 is primarily due to the following factors:

    an increase in credit income of $245 million, which reflects the improvement in credit quality of our loan portfolio. Credit income of $160 million for the first quarter of 2011 was due to the difference between the $102 million reversal of provision for loan losses calculated under our US GAAP methodology and the $58 million in expected losses for the reportable business segments, which utilizes the RAROC methodology. This compares to a credit expense of $85 million in the first quarter of 2010.

    noninterest income increased $17 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010. This increase includes a $15 million gain on the sale of MasterCard shares, partially offset by lower gain on the sale of ALM investment securities;

    noninterest expense increased $48 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010. This increase includes higher staff costs, facility expense and outside services, partially offset by lower amortization related to our privatization transaction and an $8 million decrease in provision for losses on off-balance sheet commitments.

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.    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 March 31, 2011.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)


Note 1—Basis of Presentation 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 (US 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 conformity with US GAAP. 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 first quarter of 2011 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, 2010 (2010 Form 10-K).

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US 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 4), allowance for credit losses (Note 5), purchased credit-impaired loans (Note 5), annual goodwill impairment analysis, pension accounting (Note 7), valuing financial instruments (Note 10), and income taxes.

        UnionBanCal Corporation is a financial holding company and commercial bank holding company whose major subsidiary, Union Bank, N.A. (the Bank), is a commercial 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, and Texas, as well as nationally and internationally.

        Effective in the first quarter of 2011, payments received of $96 million related to the loss share agreements with the FDIC in conjunction with the Company's FDIC-assisted acquisitions are disclosed separately as proceeds from FDIC loss share agreements and are classified within cash flows from investing activities. These proceeds were previously classified under cash flows from operating activities and totaled $95 million and $165 million in the third quarter and full year 2010, respectively.


Note 2—Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements That Are Not Yet Effective

    Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring

        In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor's Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. The update provides additional guidance to creditors on evaluating whether a modification or restructuring of a receivable is a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) and clarifies the existing guidance on whether (1) the creditor has granted a concession and (2) whether the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties, which are the two criteria used to determine whether a modification or restructuring is a TDR. This guidance is effective beginning July 1, 2011. Management is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Note 2—Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements That Are Not Yet Effective (Continued)

    Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements

        In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements. The update removes from the assessment of effective control (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and (2) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. This guidance is effective beginning January 1, 2012. Management is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on the Company's financial position and results of operations.


Note 3—Business Combinations

        On April 30, 2010, the Bank entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with the FDIC to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of Frontier Bank, a Washington state-chartered commercial bank headquartered in Everett, Washington (Frontier). Additionally, on April 16, 2010, the Bank entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with the FDIC to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of Tamalpais Bank of San Rafael, California (Tamalpais). For further information related to the Tamalpais and Frontier acquisitions, see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's 2010 Form 10-K. In the first quarter of 2011, the Company recorded an adjustment, which reduced goodwill by $9 million, related to the value of expected interest income on the acquired loans and FDIC indemnification assets. For further information related to goodwill and intangibles, see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's 2010 Form 10-K.

        For securities held to maturity, the amount recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI) reflects the unrealized loss at date of transfer to the held to maturity classification, net of amortization, while the amount not recognized in OCI reflects the incremental change in value after such transfer. Amortized cost is defined as the original purchase cost, plus or minus any accretion or amortization of a purchase discount or premium, less payments and any impairment previously recognized in earnings.

        The amortized cost, fair value and carrying value of securities, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations, if applicable, with or without call or prepayment penalties.

        At March 31, 2011, the Company did not have the intent to sell temporarily impaired securities until a recovery of the amortized cost, which may be at maturity, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will have to sell the securities prior to recovery of amortized cost.

        The following describes the nature of the Company's investments, the causes of impairment, the severity and duration of the impairment, if applicable, and the conclusions reached on the temporary or other-than-temporary status of the unrealized losses.

    Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities—U.S. Government and Government Sponsored Agencies

        These residential mortgage-backed securities consist of securities guaranteed by the U.S. government or government sponsored agencies such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These securities are collateralized by residential mortgage loans and may be prepaid at par prior to maturity. The unrealized losses on these residential mortgage-backed securities resulted from changes in interest rates and not credit quality. As a result, the securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2011.

    Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities—Privately Issued

        These residential mortgage-backed securities are privately issued by financial institutions. These securities are collateralized by residential mortgage loans and may be prepaid at par prior to maturity. The securities are primarily rated investment grade. The unrealized losses on these privately issued residential mortgage-backed securities resulted from declining credit quality of underlying collateral and additional credit spread widening 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 industry consensus estimates of current key assumptions, such as default rates, loss severity and prepayment rates. Based on this assessment of expected credit losses of each security, impairment recognized during the first quarter of 2011 was not significant. With respect to the remaining portfolio at March 31, 2011, the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.

Note 4—Securities (Continued)

    Collateralized Loan Obligations

        The Company's CLOs primarily consist of Cash Flow CLOs. A Cash Flow CLO is 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. Certain of these CLOs are highly illiquid securities for which fair values are difficult to obtain. Unrealized losses arise from widening credit spreads, credit quality of the underlying collateral, uncertainty regarding the valuation of such securities and the market's opinion of the performance of the fund managers. 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. Based on the analysis performed as of March 31, 2011 to determine whether any of the unrealized losses related to CLOs were believed to be other-than-temporary, the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.

    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 March 31, 2011, the Company had $4.9 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 ($1.8 billion), to support unrealized losses on derivative transactions reported in trading liabilities ($0.4 billion) and to secure public and trust department deposits ($2.7 billion).

        At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company accepted securities as collateral that it is permitted by contract to sell or repledge of $25 million ($14 million of which has been repledged to cover short sales) and $12 million ($1 million of which has been repledged to secure public agency or bankruptcy deposits and to cover short sales), respectively. These securities were received as collateral for secured lending and to obtain qualified securities to meet the Company's collateral needs.

    Loans Acquired in Business Combinations

        The Company evaluated loans acquired in the Frontier and Tamalpais transactions in accordance with accounting guidance related to loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality as of the acquisition date. Management elected to account for all acquired loans, except for revolving lines of credit, within the scope of the accounting guidance using the same methodology. The following table reflects the carrying value of loans, pursuant to accounting standards for purchased credit-impaired loans and other acquired loans, as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

        The acquired loans are referred to as "covered loans" as the Bank will be reimbursed for a substantial portion of any future losses on them under the terms of the FDIC loss share agreements. As of acquisition dates, the estimated fair value of the purchased credit-impaired loan portfolios of Frontier and Tamalpais subject to the loss share agreements was $1.7 billion, which represents the present value of expected cash flows from the portfolio. The difference between the undiscounted contractual cash flows and the undiscounted expected cash flows is the nonaccretable difference. The nonaccretable difference represents the estimated credit losses in the acquired loan portfolios at the acquisition date.

        The accretable yield for purchased credit-impaired loans for the first quarter of 2011 was as follows:

        The carrying value and outstanding balance for the purchased credit-impaired loans as of March 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and as of the respective acquisition dates were as follows:

        Acquired loans were recorded at fair value at acquisition date, factoring in credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the loan. Accordingly, an allowance for loan losses was not carried over or recorded as of the respective acquisition dates. The acquired loans are subject to the Bank's internal credit review. When credit deterioration is noted subsequent to the respective acquisition dates, a provision for loan losses is charged to earnings, with a partial offset reflecting the increase to the FDIC indemnification asset for FDIC covered loans. At March 31, 2011, the allowance for loan losses on FDIC covered loans was $23 million, which consisted of an allowance for FDIC covered loan losses not subject to FDIC indemnification of $7 million, and an allowance covered by FDIC indemnification of $16 million, representing exposure for losses

        The Company maintains 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 leases and off-balance sheet commitments. The allowances are based on our regular, quarterly assessments of the probable estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio and unused commitments to provide financing. The Company's methodology for measuring the appropriate level of the allowances relies on several key elements, which include the formula allowance, the specific allowance for impaired loans, the unallocated allowance and the allowance for off-balance sheet commitments.

    Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans

        Nonaccrual loans, excluding FDIC covered loans, totaled $0.8 billion, at each of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. There were $234 million and $220 million of TDR loans at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing totaled $3 million and $2 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Note 5—Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses (Continued)

Loan Impairment

        The Company's impaired loans generally include larger commercial, financial and industrial, construction, commercial mortgage, and TDRs where it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When the value of an impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Company records an impairment allowance.

        The following tables show information about impaired loans by class as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Note 6—Variable Interest Entities, Private Capital and Other Investments

        The Company is involved in various structures that are considered to be VIEs. Generally, a VIE is a corporation, partnership, trust or any other legal structure that has equity investors that: 1) do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to independently finance its activities; 2) lack the power to direct the

Note 6—Variable Interest Entities, Private Capital and Other Investments (Continued)


activities that significantly impact the entity's economic success; and/or 3) 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 and renewable energy projects, which are designed to generate a return primarily through the realization of federal tax credits, and private capital investments. 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 2010 Form 10-K.

Consolidated VIEs

        At March 31, 2011, assets of $300 million and liabilities of $10 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.

        For the first quarters of 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded $6 million and $5 million of expenses related to its consolidated VIEs, respectively. These expenses are included in other noninterest expense on the Company's consolidated statements of income.

Unconsolidated VIEs in which the Company has a Variable Interest

        The following table presents the Company's carrying amounts related to the unconsolidated VIEs and location on the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2011. The table also presents the Company's maximum exposure to loss resulting from its involvement with these VIEs. The maximum exposure to loss represents the carrying value of the Company's involvement plus any legally binding unfunded commitments in the unlikely event that all of the assets in the VIEs become worthless.

Note 10—Fair Value Measurement and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        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. 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 US GAAP. This hierarchy is based on the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair value. For further information related to the fair value hierarchy, see Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's 2010 Form 10-K.

        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 interest rates, yield curves, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, volatilities and credit curves. 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 17 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's 2010 Form 10-K.

For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the first quarters of 2011 and 2010 that were still held on the consolidated balance sheet as of the respective periods ended, the following tables present the carrying value of such financial instruments by the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each fair value adjustment.

        Loans include individually impaired loans that are measured based on the fair value of the underlying collateral or the fair value of the loan. The fair value of impaired loans was determined based on appraised values of the underlying collateral or market pricing for the loan, adjusted for management judgment.

        Other assets consist of private equity investments, and OREO that was measured at the lower of cost or fair value, net of cost of disposal. The fair value of OREO was primarily based on independent appraisals. The fair value of private equity investments was estimated using NAV.

        In addition to financial instruments recorded at fair value in the Company's financial statements, the disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments that are not carried at fair value is also required. Excluded from this disclosure requirement are lease financing arrangements, investments accounted for under the equity method, employee pension and other postretirement obligations and all nonfinancial assets and liabilities, including goodwill and other intangible assets such as long-term customer relationships. The fair values presented are estimates for certain individual financial instruments and do not represent an estimate of the fair value of the Company as a whole.

        Certain financial instruments that are not recognized at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet are carried at amounts that approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. These financial instruments include cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits in banks, federal funds sold and purchased, securities purchased under resale agreements, securities sold under repurchase agreements and commercial paper. In addition, the fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest bearing demand deposits, interest bearing checking, and market rate and other savings are deemed to equal their carrying values. For further information on methodologies for approximating fair values, see Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's 2010 Form 10-K.

        Off-balance sheet commitments, which include commitments to extend credit and standby and commercial letters of credit, are excluded from the above table. These instruments generate ongoing fees, which are recognized over the term of the commitment period. In situations where the credit quality of the counterparty to a commitment has declined, the Company records a reserve. A reasonable estimate of the fair value of these instruments is the carrying value of deferred fees plus the related reserve. This estimate totaled $279 million and $298 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.


Note 11—Derivative Instruments and Other Financial Instruments Used For Hedging

        The Company is a party to certain derivative and other financial instruments that are entered into for the purpose of trading, meeting the needs of customers, and changing the impact on the Company's operating results due to market fluctuations in currency rates, interest rates or commodity prices.

        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. Master netting agreements mitigate credit risk by permitting the offset of amounts due from and to individual counterparties in the event of default. The CSA requires the counterparty with derivatives in a net loss position to provide collateral as prescribed by such agreement. 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 the possibility that future changes in market conditions may make the financial instrument less valuable.

        Derivatives are used to manage exposure to interest rate, commodity and foreign currency risk, generate profits from proprietary trading and to assist customers with their risk management objectives. The Company designates derivative instruments as those used for hedge accounting purposes, and those for trading or economic hedge purposes. All derivative instruments are recognized as assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value.

        Certain of the Company's derivative instruments contain provisions that require the Company to maintain a specified credit rating. If the Company's credit rating was to fall below the specified rating, the counterparties to these derivative instruments could terminate the contract and demand immediate payment or demand immediate and ongoing full overnight collateralization for those derivative instruments in net liability positions. At March 31, 2011, the aggregate fair value (including net interest payable/receivable) of all derivative

instruments with credit-risk mitigated contingent features that are in a liability position was $6 million. At March 31, 2011, the Company had not pledged any collateral to secure these obligations. If all of the credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements had been triggered on March 31, 2011, the Company would have been required to provide collateral of $6 million to settle these contracts.

        Derivative instruments are integral components of the Company's asset and liability management activities. The Company uses interest rate derivatives to manage the Company's net interest income sensitivity to 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, borrowings, and future debt issuances. The following describes the significant hedging strategies of the Company.

        The Company engages in several types of cash flow hedging strategies related to forecasted future interest payments, with the hedged risk being the changes in cash flows attributable to changes in the designated benchmark rate (i.e., U.S. dollar LIBOR). In these strategies, the hedging instruments are matched with groups of similar variable rate instruments such that the reset tenor of the variable rate instruments and that of the hedging instrument are identical at inception. Cash flow hedging instruments currently being utilized include purchased caps and interest rate swaps. At March 31, 2011, the weighted average remaining life of the currently active cash flow hedges was approximately 2 years.

        In the first quarter of 2011, the Company terminated $1.0 billion notional amount of interest rate swaps concurrent with the issuance of $1.0 billion of fixed rate debt. The swaps were accounted for as a cash flow hedge and were used to mitigate the changes in cash flows on the forecasted fixed rate debt. At termination, the Company had a related unrealized gain of $14 million, which will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the debt. The Company realized minimal ineffectiveness as result of the termination.

        The Company used purchased interest rate caps with a notional amount of $1.0 billion to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate on LIBOR indexed borrowings. Payments received under the cap contract offset the increase in borrowing interest expense if the relevant LIBOR index rises above the cap's strike rate. The Company used interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $1.0 billion to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate on LIBOR indexed borrowings. Payments received (or paid) under the swap contract offset fluctuations in borrowing interest expense caused by changes in the relevant LIBOR index. The Company used purchased interest rate caps with a notional amount of $3.0 billion to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate component of forecasted issuances of short-term, fixed rate CDs. Net payments to be received under the cap contract offset increases in interest expense if the relevant LIBOR index rises above the cap's strike rate.

        Hedging transactions are structured at inception so that the notional amounts of the hedging instruments are matched to an equal principal amount of loans, CDs, or borrowings, the index and repricing frequencies of

Note 11—Derivative Instruments and Other Financial Instruments Used For Hedging (Continued)


the hedging instruments match those of the loans, CDs, or borrowings and the period in which the designated hedged cash flows occur is equal to the term of the hedge instruments. As such, most of the ineffectiveness in the hedging relationship results from the mismatch between the timing of reset dates on the hedging instruments versus those of the loans, CDs or borrowings.

        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 and any non qualifying hedge components are recognized in noninterest expense in the period in which they arise. At March 31, 2011, the Company expects to reclassify approximately $12 million of net losses from accumulated other comprehensive income to net interest income during the twelve months ending March 31, 2012. This amount could differ from amounts actually realized due to changes in interest rates and the addition of other hedges subsequent to March 31, 2011.

        The following table presents the amount and location of the net gains and losses recorded in the Company's consolidated statements of income and changes in stockholder's equity for derivatives designated as cash flow hedges for the first quarters of 2011 and 2010.

        Derivative instruments classified as trading include both derivatives entered into for the Company's own account and as an accommodation for customers. Derivatives held for trading purposes are included in trading assets or trading liabilities with changes in fair value reflected in trading income or losses. 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 certificates of deposit, 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 perfectly matched over-the-counter option. Both the embedded derivative and options are recorded at fair value with the realized and unrealized changes in fair value recorded in noninterest income within trading account activities.

Note 13—Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees

        The following table summarizes the Company's commitments.

Commitments to extend credit

  $ 22,953  

Standby letters of credit

    5,403  

Commercial letters of credit

Commitments to fund principal investments

Commitments to fund CLO securities

    14  

        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 March 31, 2011, the carrying value of the Company's risk participations in bankers' acceptances and standby and commercial letters of credit totaled $5 million. Estimated exposure to loss related to these commitments is covered by the allowance for losses on off-balance sheet commitments. The carrying value 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.

        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.

        Principal investments include direct investments in private and public companies and indirect investments in private equity funds. The Company issues commitments to provide equity and mezzanine capital financing to private and public companies through either direct investments in specific companies or through investment funds and partnerships. 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 invests in either guaranteed or unguaranteed LIHC investments. The guaranteed LIHC investments carry a minimum rate of return guarantee by a creditworthy entity. The unguaranteed LIHC investments carry partial guarantees covering the timely completion of projects, availability of tax credits and operating deficit thresholds from the issuer. For these LIHC investments, the Company has committed to provide additional funding as stipulated by its investment participation.

        The Company is a fund manager for limited liability companies issuing LIHC investments. LIHC investments provide tax benefits to investors in the form of tax deductions from operating losses and tax credits. To facilitate the sale of these LIHC investments, the Company guarantees a minimum rate of return throughout the investment term of over a twelve-year weighted average period. Additionally, the Company receives guarantees, which include the timely completion of projects, availability of tax credits and operating deficit thresholds, from the limited liability partnerships/corporations issuing the LIHC investments that reduce the Company's ultimate exposure to loss. As of March 31, 2011, the Company's maximum exposure to loss under these guarantees was limited to a return of investor capital and minimum investment yield, or $197 million. The risk that the Company would be required to pay investors for a yield deficiency is low, based on the continued satisfactory performance of the underlying properties. At March 31, 2011, the Company had a reserve of $7 million recorded related to these guarantees, which represents the remaining unamortized fair value of the guarantee fees that were recognized at inception. For information on the Company's LIHC investments that were consolidated, refer to Note 6 to these consolidated financial statements.

        The Company guarantees its subsidiaries' leveraged lease transactions with terms ranging from fifteen to thirty years. Following the original funding of these leveraged lease transactions, the Company does not have any material obligation to be satisfied. As of March 31, 2011, we had no exposure to loss for these agreements.

        The Company conducts securities lending transactions for institutional customers as a fully disclosed agent. At times, securities lending indemnifications are issued to guarantee that a security lending customer will be made whole in the event the borrower does not return the security subject to the lending agreement and collateral held is insufficient to cover the market value of the security. All lending transactions are collateralized, primarily by cash. The amount of securities lent with indemnifications was $1.6 billion at March 31, 2011 and the market value of the associated collateral was $1.7 billion. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had no exposure that would require it to pay under this securities lending indemnification, since the collateral market value exceeded the securities lent.

Note 13—Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees (Continued)

        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 March 31, 2011, the current exposure to loss under these contracts totaled $22 million and the maximum potential exposure to loss in the future was estimated at $32 million.

        The Company is subject to various pending and threatened legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. Reserves for losses from legal actions that are both probable and estimable are recorded at the time of that determination. Management believes that the disposition of all claims currently pending will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, operating results or liquidity.


Note 14—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.

        "Other" is comprised of certain non-bank subsidiaries of UnionBanCal Corporation; the transfer pricing center; the amount of the provision for credit losses over/(under) the risk-adjusted return on capital (RAROC) 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 Pacific Rim Corporate Group, which offers a range of credit, deposit, and investment management products and services to companies headquartered in either Japan or the U.S., Corporate Treasury, which is responsible for Asset-Liability Management (ALM), wholesale funding, and the ALM investment securities and derivatives hedging portfolios.

        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 US 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:

        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

        Cynthia Larsen v. Union Bank, N.A.:    This putative class action was filed on July 15, 2009 by Union Bank customer Cynthia Larsen. In October 2009, the action was transferred from the Northern District of California to the Multidistrict Litigation action (MDL) in the Southern District of Florida. Omnibus motions to dismiss the complaints in many of the suits included in the MDL, including Larsen, were denied on March 12, 2010. Plaintiffs allege that, by posting charges to their accounts in order from highest to lowest amount, the Bank charged them more overdraft fees than it would have charged them had the Bank posted items to their accounts in chronological order.

        Plaintiffs' complaint asserts common-law causes of action for breach of contract and breach of duty of an implied duty of good faith, unconscionability, conversion, unjust enrichment and violation of California Business & Professions Code section 17200 et seq., as well as other statutory violations. Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, return or refund of all improper overdraft fees, disgorgement of profits derived from the Bank's alleged conduct, injunctive relief, and attorneys' fees and costs. Plaintiffs seek to represent a putative class of other Union Bank customers who were charged overdraft charges as a result of "re-sequencing" within the applicable statute of limitations period. Union Bank intends to vigorously defend the case. Trial is currently scheduled for March 2012.

        We are subject to various other pending and threatened legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. We maintain reserves for losses from legal actions that are both probable and estimable. In addition, we believe the disposition of all claims currently pending will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, operating results 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 2010 Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference herein, in addition to the following information.

Industry Factors

        U.S. and global economies have experienced a serious recession, unprecedented volatility in the financial markets, and significant deterioration in sectors of the U.S. consumer and business economy, all of which continue to present challenges for the banking and financial services industry and for UnionBanCal Corporation; the U.S. Government has responded to these circumstances with a variety of measures; there can be no assurance that these measures will successfully address these circumstances.

        Over the past three years, adverse financial and economic developments have impacted the U.S. and global economies and financial markets and have presented challenges for the banking and financial services industry and for UnionBanCal Corporation. These developments include a general recession both globally and in the U.S. and have contributed to substantial volatility in the financial markets.

        In response, various significant economic and monetary stimulus measures have been enacted and considered by the U.S. Congress. Refer to "Supervision and Regulation" in Item 1 of our 2010 Form 10-K for discussion of certain of these measures.

        It cannot be predicted whether U.S. Governmental actions will result in lasting improvement in financial and economic conditions affecting the U.S. banking industry and the U.S. economy. It also cannot be predicted whether and to what extent the efforts of the U.S. Government to combat the mixed economic conditions will continue. If, notwithstanding the government's fiscal and monetary measures, the U.S. economy were to deteriorate, this would continue to present significant challenges for the U.S. banking and financial services industry and for our Company. In addition, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of a foreign bank, we have not been eligible to participate in some federal programs such as the U.S. Treasury's Capital Purchase Program and may not qualify for participation in future federal programs.

        Recently, certain sovereign borrowers have encountered difficulties in financing renewals of their indebtedness. If this trend continues or worsens, it could have adverse impacts on costs in the global debt markets which could increase funding costs for banks generally. Further, European regulators announced in 2010 findings from capital stress tests on many European banks and recently announced that additional stress tests can be expected during 2011. The confidence in the transparency and robustness in these stress tests remains unclear. In April 2011, Standard & Poor's, while re-affirming the AAA/A+ sovereign credit ratings of the United States, changed its outlook for the long-term obligations of the U.S to negative from stable in light of very large budget deficits in recent years and rising government indebtedness and its belief that there is a material risk that U.S. policymakers might not reach an agreement on how to address medium and long-term budgetary challenges by 2013. These combined factors, if continuing to worsen, could further increase the uncertainty in global markets.

        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 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 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 expenses and diverts management attention from our business operations.

        On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Act. This new 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, we will likely be designated as "systemically significant" to the financial health of the U.S. economy and, as a result, may be subject to additional regulations. Many of the new law's provisions are 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 new law contains many provisions which may have particular relevance to the business of UnionBanCal Corporation and Union Bank. While the full effect of these provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act on Union Bank cannot be predicted at this time, they may result in adjustments to our FDIC deposit insurance premiums, 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.

        On February 11, 2011, the U.S. Treasury released a White Paper addressing possible solutions to the current problems with Government Sponsored Entities Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (GSEs). The Treasury White Paper presents three possible long-term options to wind down the GSEs, reform the mortgage market and better target government support of affordable housing. While the specific nature of the reform and its impact on the financial services industry in general, and on Union Bank in particular, is unclear at this time, such reform, if enacted, is 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 reform 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 business, results of operations or financial condition.

        President Obama's proposed 2012 U.S. budget included a "Financial Crisis Responsibility Fee" that would apply to banks with greater than $50 billion in assets. This fee is intended to recover taxpayer funds provided to U.S. financial institutions through the U.S. Treasury's Troubled Asset Relief Program ("TARP"). 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, it appears that we would be subject to this fee. Therefore, our costs will likely increase if this fee is enacted.

        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 addition to changes in required capital resulting from the Dodd-Frank Act, the Basel Committee published in December 2010 guidelines for the Basel III global regulatory framework for capital and liquidity, including calibration for increased capital requirements approved by the G20 leadership in November 2010. Current U.S. regulatory leverage ratio requirements are more stringent than those proposed by Basel III, which will be further assessed prior to finalization. New liquidity standards are expected to be adopted by U.S. bank regulatory agencies with some modifications. These new liquidity standards could require that we raise and maintain additional liquidity. While the ultimate implementation of these proposals in the U.S. is subject to the discretion of the U.S. bank regulators, these proposals, if adopted, could restrict our ability to grow during favorable market conditions or require us to raise additional capital. As a result, our business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects could be adversely affected. Refer to "Supervision and Regulation-Basel Committee Capital Standards" in Item 1 of our 2010 Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Basel Committee capital standards.

        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 may have a material effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

        Refer to "Supervision and Regulation" in Item 1 of our 2010 Form 10-K for discussion of certain existing and proposed laws and regulations that may affect our business.

        Future legislative or regulatory actions responding to perceived financial and market problems could impair our rights against borrowers and decrease our revenue from other customers

        Under current bankruptcy laws, courts cannot force a modification of mortgage and home equity loans secured by primary residences. In response to the financial crisis, in 2009, legislation was proposed to allow mortgage loan "cram-downs," which would empower courts to modify the terms of mortgage and home equity loans including to reduce the principal amounts to reflect lower underlying property values. Although this legislation has not moved forward at this time, legislation of this type could result in our writing down the value of our residential mortgage and home equity loans to reflect their lower loan values. There is also risk that home equity loans in a second lien position (i.e., behind a mortgage) could experience significantly higher losses to the extent they become unsecured as a result of a cram-down. The availability of principal reductions or other mortgage loan modifications could make bankruptcy a more attractive option for troubled borrowers, leading to increased bankruptcy filings and accelerated defaults.

        Recent changes in federal rules have imposed new restrictions on banks' abilities to charge overdraft services and fees and can be expected to result in decreased revenues and increased compliance costs for the industry and Union Bank. See "Supervision and Regulation—Overdraft and Interchange Fees" in Item 1 of our 2010 Form 10-K for additional information.

        In April 2011, new federal rules went into effect regulating residential mortgage broker compensation. Generally, such compensation must now be based solely on the loan amount and not on any loan terms. In addition, mortgage brokers must offer the borrower the lowest possible interest rate and fees for which they qualify and may not collect fees from both the bank and the borrower. Although these amendments do not apply to banks directly, they regulate the compensation that banks may pay to mortgage brokers and the types of transactions they may refer to banks. In addition, in April 2011 the Federal Reserve proposed further rules to prohibit banks from making a residential mortgage loan without regard to a borrower's repayment ability. The proposed rule also would limit prepayment penalties and impose lengthened record retention requirements on banks making residential mortgage loans. If a bank violated the ability-to-pay requirement, a borrower could pursue broad legal remedies against the bank. We expect these recent and proposed amendments to increase our regulatory compliance and legal burdens and expenses and possibly negatively impact residential mortgage originations, either or both of which could have an adverse impact on our residential mortgage lending business.

        Substantial competition could adversely affect us

        Banking is a highly competitive business. We compete actively for loan, deposit, and other financial services business in California, Oregon, Washington, and Texas as well as nationally and internationally. Our competitors include a large number of state and national banks, thrift institutions, credit unions, finance companies, mortgage banks and major foreign-affiliated or foreign banks, as well as many financial and nonfinancial firms that offer services similar to those offered by us, including many large securities firms and financial services subsidiaries of commercial and manufacturing companies. Some of our competitors are insurance companies or community or regional banks that have strong local market positions. Other competitors include large financial institutions that have substantial capital, technology and marketing resources, which are well in excess of ours. Competition in our industry may further intensify as a result of the recent and increasing level of consolidation of financial services companies, particularly in our principal markets resulting from adverse economic and market conditions. Larger financial institutions may have greater access to capital at a lower cost than us, which may adversely affect our ability to compete effectively. In addition, some of our current commercial banking customers may seek alternative banking sources if they develop credit needs larger than we may be able to accommodate. Many of our non-bank competitors are not subject to the same extensive regulations that govern our activities and may have greater flexibility in competing for business. Additionally, technology has lowered barriers to entry and made it possible for non-banks to offer products and services traditionally provided by banks, such as automatic transfer and payment systems. We also experience competition, especially for deposits, from internet-based banking

80


Table of Contents


institutions and other financial companies, which do not always have a physical presence in our market footprint and have grown rapidly in recent years. Competition in our principal markets may further intensify as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act, which, among other things, permits out of state de novo branching by national banks, state banks and foreign banks from other states.

        The continuing war on terrorism, overseas military conflicts and unrest in other countries could adversely affect U.S. and global economic conditions

        Acts or threats of terrorism and actions taken by the U.S. or other governments as a result of such acts or threats and other international hostilities, as well as political unrest in various regions, including the Middle East, may result in a disruption of U.S. and global economic and financial conditions and increases in energy costs and could adversely affect business, economic and financial conditions in the U.S. and globally and in our principal markets.

        Adverse economic factors affecting certain industries we serve could adversely affect our business

        We are subject to certain industry-specific economic factors. For example, a significant portion of our total loan portfolio is related to residential real estate, especially in California. Increases in residential mortgage loan interest rates could have an adverse effect on our operations by depressing new mortgage loan originations, and could negatively impact our title and escrow deposit levels. Additionally, a continued or further downturn in the residential real estate and housing industries in California could have an adverse effect on our operations and the quality of our real estate loan portfolio. These factors could adversely impact the quality of our residential construction and residential mortgage portfolios in various ways, including by decreasing the value of the collateral for our mortgage loans. These factors could also negatively affect the economy in general and thereby our overall loan portfolio.

        We provide financing to businesses in a number of other industries that may be particularly vulnerable to industry-specific economic factors and are impacting the performance of our commercial real estate and commercial and industrial portfolios. The commercial real estate industry in the U.S., and in California in particular, has been increasingly adversely impacted by the recessionary environment and lack of liquidity in the financial markets. The home building and mortgage industry in California has been especially adversely impacted by the deterioration in residential real estate markets. Poor economic conditions and financial access for commercial real estate developers and homebuilders could continue to adversely affect property values, resulting in higher nonperforming assets and charge offs in this sector. Our commercial and industrial portfolio, and the communications and media industry, the retail industry, the energy industry and the technology industry in particular, are also being impacted by recessionary market conditions. Continued volatility in fuel prices and energy costs could adversely affect businesses in several of these industries. Conditions and credit markets remain uncertain and could produce elevated levels of charge-offs. Industry-specific risks are beyond our control and could adversely affect our portfolio of loans, potentially resulting in an increase in nonperforming loans or charge offs and a slowing of growth or reduction in our loan portfolio.

        Union Bank provides banking services, including credit facilities, to a number of businesses that are based or conduct business in Japan. The severe earthquake and related events in Japan earlier in 2011 could have adverse financial consequences for these customers, including on their ability to repay their obligations to Union Bank.

        Adverse California economic conditions could adversely affect our business

        The government of the State of California currently faces economic and fiscal challenges, the long-term impact of which on the State's economy cannot be predicted with any certainty. Economic conditions in California are subject to various challenges at this time, including significant deterioration in the residential real estate sector and the California state government's budgetary and fiscal difficulties. California continues to have a high unemployment rate, with reported figures of 12.4 percent in December 2010. Also, California

81


Table of Contents


markets have experienced among the worst property value declines in the U.S. Recently, California energy markets have experienced substantial increases in energy prices which, if such increases continue or intensify, could have negative consequences for the California economy. Additionally, California is a major trading partner with Japan which, earlier in 2011, experienced a severe earthquake, tsunami, leakage of radioactive materials from a nuclear power facility and electrical shortages in parts of the country. The long-term effect of such developments on businesses in California cannot be predicted at this time.

        For the past several years, the State government of California has experienced budget shortfalls or deficits which have led to protracted negotiations between the Governor and the State Legislature over how to address the budget gap. This challenging situation continues at the present time. In addition, municipalities and other governmental units within California have been experiencing budgetary difficulties. Concerns also have arisen regarding the outlook for the State of California's governmental obligations, as well as those of California municipalities and other governmental units.

        A substantial majority of our assets, deposits and interest and fee income is generated in California. As a result, poor economic conditions in California may cause us to incur losses associated with higher default rates and decreased collateral values in our loan portfolio. If the budgetary and fiscal difficulties of the California State government and California municipalities and other governmental units continue or economic conditions in California decline further, we expect that our level of problem assets could increase and our prospects for growth could be impaired.

        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 generally fund our operations 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. In February 2011, Moody's Japan K.K. changed the outlook for the Government of Japan's bond ratings to negative from stable and consequently changed the outlook to negative from stable for the long-term debt credit ratings of Japan's three largest banks, including BTMU, noting that a downgrade in the government rating would result in a downgrade in the banks' ratings, absent a material improvement in their standalone credit quality. At this time, we cannot predict the actions, if any, which other rating agencies may take on this subject, nor the ultimate effect of these developments on our credit rating. On March 11, 2011, a large earthquake and tsunami occurred in Japan causing widespread destruction. Thereafter, there has been continued leakage of radioactive material from a nuclear power plant in northern Japan which was badly damaged in the earthquake and tsunami as well as electrical shortages in certain areas of the country. The ultimate impact of this natural disaster on the economy of Japan and its government debt credit ratings and the credit ratings of Japan's three largest banks, including BTMU, cannot be predicted at this time. On April 26, 2011, Standard and Poor's, while affirming its long-term sovereign credit rating on Japanese government debt, changed its outlook to negative from stable citing concerns about anticipated increases in Japanese government debt due to reconstruction costs in the aftermath of the natural disaster and lack of plans to deal with such increases.

        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.

        Risks associated with potential acquisitions or divestitures or restructurings may adversely affect us

        We have in the past, and may in the future, seek to expand our business by acquiring other businesses which we believe will enhance our business. We cannot predict the frequency, size or timing of our acquisitions, as this will depend on the availability of prospective target opportunities at valuation levels we

find attractive and the competition for such opportunities from other parties. There can be no assurance that our acquisitions will have the anticipated positive results, including results related to: the total cost of integration; the retention of key personnel; the time required to complete the integration; the amount of longer-term cost savings; continued growth; or the overall performance of the acquired company or combined entity. We also may encounter difficulties in obtaining required regulatory approvals and unexpected contingent liabilities can arise from the businesses we acquire. Acquisitions may also lead us to enter geographic and product markets in which we have limited or no direct prior experience.

        Our purchase and assumption and loss share agreements with the FDIC relating to our Frontier Bank and Tamalpais Bank transactions have specific compliance, servicing, notification and reporting requirements. Any failure to comply with the requirements of the loss share agreements, or to properly service the loans and other real estate owned (OREO) covered by any loss share arrangement, may cause individual loans or loan pools to lose their eligibility for loss share payments from the FDIC, potentially resulting in material losses that are currently not anticipated.

        Integration of an acquired business can be complex and costly. If we are not able to integrate successfully past or future acquisitions, there is a risk that results of operations could be adversely affected.

        In addition, we continue to evaluate the performance of all of our businesses and may sell or restructure a business. Any divestitures or restructurings may result in significant expenses and write-offs, including those related to goodwill and other intangible assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and may involve additional risks, including difficulties in obtaining any required regulatory approvals, the diversion of management's attention from other business concerns, the disruption of our business and the potential loss of key employees.

        We may not be successful in addressing these or any other significant risks encountered in connection with any acquisition, divestiture or restructuring we might make.

        We rely on third parties for important products and services

        Third-party vendors provide key components of our business infrastructure such as internet connections, network access and mutual fund distribution and we do not control their actions. Among other services provided by these vendors, third-party vendors have played and will continued to play a key role in the implementation of our technology enhancement projects. Any problems caused by these third parties, including those as a result of their not providing us their services for any reason or their performing their services poorly, could adversely affect our ability to deliver products and services to our customers, implement our technology enhancement projects and otherwise to conduct our business and could result in disputes with such vendors over their performance of their services to us. Replacing these third-party vendors is not always possible or within our control and could also entail significant delay and expense.

        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.

        Our credit ratings are important in order to maintain liquidity.

        Major credit rating agencies regularly evaluate the securities of UnionBanCal Corporation and the securities and deposits of Union Bank, and their ratings of our long-term debt and other securities and also of our short-term obligations are based on a number of factors, including our financial strength, ability to generate earnings, and other factors, some of which are not entirely within our control, such as conditions affecting the financial services industry and the economy. In light of the difficulties in the financial services industry, the financial markets and the economy, there can be no assurance that we will maintain our current long-term and short-term ratings. In addition, Moody's Investors Service and Fitch, Inc. have announced that the ratings of a number of large U.S. banks, not including Union Bank, may be negatively affected because the passage of the Dodd-Frank Act makes it less likely that the government would step in to rescue a troubled bank. It is unclear whether other rating agencies will respond in a similar way or whether perceived reduction in systemic support could lead or contribute to negative downward pressure on our credit ratings.

        If our long-term or short-term credit ratings suffer downgrades, such downgrades could adversely affect access to liquidity and could significantly increase our cost of funds, trigger additional collateral or funding requirements, and decrease the number of commercial depositors, investors and counterparties willing to lend to us, thereby curtailing our business operations and reducing our ability to generate income.

        Certain of our derivative instruments contain provisions that require us to maintain a specified credit rating. If our credit rating were to fall below the specified rating, the counterparties to these derivative instruments could terminate the contract and demand immediate payment or demand immediate and ongoing full overnight collateralization for those derivative instruments in net liability positions.

        Adverse changes in the credit ratings, operations or prospects of our parent companies, BTMU and MUFG, could also adversely impact our credit ratings. For additional information, refer to the discussion appearing above under the caption "The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ's and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group's credit ratings and financial and regulatory condition could adversely affect our operations."

        We are subject to operational 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 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—Business Segments." Operational risk includes execution risk related to operational initiatives, including implementation of our technology enhancement projects, 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. 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."

        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. 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.

        We may also be subject to disruptions of our operating systems arising from events that are wholly or partially beyond our control, such as computer hacking or viruses, 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.
