Sullivan & Cromwell has advised Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG) on its $936 million investment in the Minnesota-based U.S. Bancorp.
The investment increases MUFG's stake in the fifth-largest U.S. bank to 4.4 percent from 2.9 percent, Reuters reported, adding that Bancorp will pay back some of the debt it owes the Japanese lender from the proceeds.
The S&C team was led by partners C. Michelle Chen, H. Rodgin Cohen, Keiji Hatano and Donald Toumey.
