Laaz Rockit Escreveu:Mitsubishi UFJ May Enter Bidding for Lehman Stake, Times Says

By Jonathan Browning

Sept. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc.'s main banking unit may enter the bidding for a stake in Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., the London-based Times reported, citing unidentified people close to the Japanese bank.

Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ may seek control of Lehman but will proceed with caution, the Times said, citing the people. The Japanese bank, which has enough funding for a large acquisition, is expected to wait until after Lehman announces third-quarter results next week, the newspaper said.

Lehman spokesman Mark Lane declined to comment when contacted by Bloomberg News. Calls to Mitsubishi UFJ's Tokyo headquarters before regular business hours weren't answered.

Korea Development Bank this week said it's in talks to buy a stake in Lehman, the fourth-biggest U.S. securities firm. Lehman has renewed talks with Korea Development about a capital injection of as much as $6 billion, the Sunday Telegraph reported Aug. 31, without saying where it got the information.
