Secondary Offering of Shares of Subsidiary (SoftBank Corp., Securities Code: 9434)

SoftBank Group Corp. ("SBG") announced today that it has decided on a secondary offering of a portion of its holding of common stock of subsidiary SoftBank Corp. ("SB") (the "Secondary Offering"), which it holds through its wholly owned subsidiary SoftBank Group Japan Corporation ("SBGJ"), as described below.

1. Purpose of the Secondary Offering

SBG has sold or monetized JPY 4.3 trillion of assets as of August 3, 2020, as part of the program announced on March 23, 2020, "SoftBank Announces JPY 4.5 trillion (USD 41 billion) Program to Repurchase Shares and Reduce Debt" (the "JPY 4.5 Trillion Program"). In light of the ongoing uncertainty in the market environment due to concerns about a potential second or even third wave of COVID-19, SBG believes it is necessary to expand cash reserves beyond the JPY 4.5 Trillion Program to ensure flexible options to respond to changes in the market environment. In order to do this, SBG will offer a portion of its holding of common stock of subsidiary SB, held through its wholly owned subsidiary SBGJ, via the Secondary Offering.

SB's strategic importance to the entire SoftBank Group remains unchanged. SB will continue to be a subsidiary of SBG following the Secondary Offering. SBG and SBGJ have no intention of selling additional SB shares after the Secondary Offering. SBG and SBGJ intend to maintain their holding of the remaining shares for the medium to long term.
