[Sources: SoftBank Restarts Loan Negotiations Using OpenAI Equity as Collateral, Makes Further Concessions] According to a report by Jinse Finance on July 2, two informed sources revealed that SoftBank Group has restarted negotiations with a loan syndicate for a $10 billion loan using its OpenAI equity as collateral. Previously, SoftBank's financing efforts had stalled due to concerns in the market over the difficulty of valuing private companies. To alleviate lenders' concerns, SoftBank proposed providing guarantees for loan repayment, allowing banks to seek recourse from SoftBank if the OpenAI shares used as collateral depreciate. The sources stated that the loan syndicate is expected to include Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and Mizuho Group.
