SoftBank previously monetised part of its stake ahead of the 2016 acquisition of chip designer Arm.

Owns 66.5% voting rights of the Japanese telecoms carrier after its December 2018 listing.

SoftBank in February said that it would use almost a third of its stake in the telco to raise up to $4.5 billion from 16 domestic and foreign institutions.
