<p><br/> Softbank Group (SBG) has announced plans to raise up to JPY 4.5 tn (USD 41 bn) in cash, which it will use to repurchase up to USD 18 bn of shares, buy back bonds, repay debt, and add to its cash reserves.آ Thisآ announcement is certainly equity positive on account of the substantial share buybacks, but less credit positive. Details are sketchy, and it is unclear how much of the cash raised will be used to redeem debt and repurchase bonds. The amount would likely depend on the Notes' prices as well. That said, SBG's willingness to buy back debt may support the Notes' pricing in the secondary market, despite the transaction's credit-negative aspects.<br/></p>
