SoftBank has restarted negotiations on a $10 bln loan secured by its OpenAI
stake, two people familiar with the matter said. Talks had stalled amid lender
concerns about valuing a private-company stake. To address those concerns,
SoftBank proposed guarantees and contractual recourse allowing lenders to pursue
SoftBank if the OpenAI collateral falls in value. The lending group is expected
to include Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and Mizuho Financial Group.
