SoftBank Group issued ¥418 billion ($2.6 billion) in retail-targeted hybrid bonds, setting a record 4.97% five-year coupon—the highest rate for such company debt. The bonds are 35-year subordinated notes callable after five years, structured as hybrid instruments to appeal to individual investors. Proceeds will partly refinance existing bonds due for their first call in June 2026, addressing near-term debt obligations. The offering reflects rising borrowing costs amid global monetary tightening, with SoftBank adapting financing strategies to market conditions. This move underscores the company’s reliance on retail investor demand to manage its substantial debt load while navigating economic uncertainty.
