Market Chatter: SoftBank Group Seeks $10 Billion OpenAI Refinancing Loan

MT Newswires Live08-31

SoftBank Group (TYO:9984) is pursuing a $10 billion two-year loan to help refinance a larger bridge loan tied to its OpenAI investment, the International Financing Review reported on Friday, citing an unnamed senior banker.

This is part of a broader financing effort that would bring its total debt raised this year to nearly $90 billion, which includes a $6.05 billion one-year commitment line and a 1 trillion yen seven-year retail bond, the publication said.

The Japanese tech giant is also seeking to expand and extend a separate $20 billion facility backed by its stake in Arm Holdings, the report said.

Softbank Group did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
