SoftBank seeks to sell $550M of WeWork rescue debt

  • SoftBank Group (OTCPK:SFTBY) (OTCPK:SFTBF) looks to sell $550M of debt provided to WeWork (NYSE:WE) more than a year ago amid cash shortages, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.
  • Meanwhile, the Japanese conglomerate is selling the bonds to institutional investors at 85.6 cents on the dollar, for a 9.875% yield, the people told Bloomberg.
  • "SoftBank selling in the mid-80s is not exactly a vote of confidence," Brandywine Global Investment Management High-Yield Bong Portfolio Manager Bill Zox told Bloomberg.
  • On the other hand, "facilitating this transaction provides WeWork with the opportunity to diversify its investor base and access to a group of strong institutional investors, a WeWork spokesperson told Bloomberg. Recall on Monday, WeWork (WE) agreed to extend $1.75B in secured credit commitments to February 2024.
  • The notes that SoftBank is selling now were part of the $2.2B of securities if acquired from WeWork (WE) in July of last year, that mature in 2025; the bonds will split into two series, and SoftBank will retain a $1.65B portion, according to a copy of the offering documents seen by Bloomberg.
