Market Chatter: Microsoft-Backed OpenAI Investor SoftBank Seeks $10 Billion Loan for Debt Refinancing

MT Newswires Live08-28 16:47

Microsoft-backed (MSFT) OpenAI investor SoftBank Group is seeking a $10 billion loan to refinance debt incurred from its investment in the AI company, Bloomberg News reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The proposed two-year facility carries an interest margin of around 275 basis points above the benchmark Secured Overnight Financing Rate, with Mizuho Bank acting as lead arranger, the news outlet quoted the people as saying.

Proceeds may partially go toward repaying a $40 billion bridge loan gotten earlier this year for the investment, with bank commitments due Aug. 31, Bloomberg News reported, citing the people.

OpenAI, SoftBank Group, and Mizuho Bank did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
