Most of the UBS/MUFG shares aren't actually owned by UBS or MUFG. Mitsubishi (MUFG) is reporting their holdings because of their ownership interest in Morgan Stanley. Most of these UBS and Morgan Stanley shares seem to be held via their prime brokerage divisions. You can see some of the counterparties on the last few pages of the MUFG substantial shareholder release on 24 February (they're event-driven/ merger arbitrage funds).

To clarify, they beneficially own the shares but they're held to hedge a derivative contract they have with someone else, rather than the bank itself making an investment.
