SoftBank Group said on Monday it plans to issue JPY1 trillion (about $6.29bn) of
seven-year corporate bonds aimed at retail investors, with a provisional coupon
range of 4.3–4.9% per a regulatory filing. Proceeds will fund increased AI
investments and will be raised via borrowing, bond issuance and asset disposals,
including sales of holdings in NVIDIA and T‑Mobile. The offering would be the
largest in the company's history, roughly twice the prior record JPY600bn issue
in April 2025. Final terms are expected Sept. 4.
