Reuters exclusively reported that SoftBank Group Corp (9984.T) is in talks to acquire the 25% stake in Arm Ltd it does not directly own from Vision Fund 1 (VF1), a $100 billion investment fund it raised in 2017, potentially delivering a win for investors who have waited years for strong returns.
Market Impact
The discussions come as SoftBank, which currently owns 75% of Arm, is preparing to list the chip designer on Nasdaq next month at a valuation of $60 billion to $70 billion. If the negotiations lead to a deal, the Japanese tech investor would be delivering a major, immediate windfall to VF1 investors.
