. . (Bloomberg) - SoftBank Group Corp.. . is debating a new strategy to go private by gradually buying back outstanding shares until founder Masayoshi Son has enough stake to squeeze out the remaining investors, according to those familiar with the matter. The approach would likely take over a year and mean the Japanese company would continue to sell assets to fund successive buybacks. Son wouldn't buy any more shares himself, but his stake, which is now 27%, would increase as other investors sell shares. According to Japanese regulations, Son could force other shareholders to sell if it reaches 66% of the shares, possibly without paying a premium. One perk of the plan, which insiders have dubbed "slow motion" or "slow motion" buying, is that according to the population, SoftBank has the flexibility to buy its own stocks when they fall. In the event of a formal buyout, a premium of around 25% would have to be paid. . Shareholders are also likely to support buybacks, especially as the company continues to trade at a discount to the total value of its holdings in Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. companies. and Uber Technologies Inc. . to DoorDash Inc. . The billionaire only said in February that he thought SoftBank was better off as a public company. More recently, he declined to comment on his plans after reports of a possible buyout were released in publications including Bloomberg News. "If our stocks fall, I'll buy back more stocks more aggressively," Son said at a conference in November. SoftBank declined to comment on this story. The shares even rose 6. 7% according to Bloomberg's report. Son has been debating the idea of ​​going back and forth privately for at least five years. When SoftBank's shares fell in March with the coronavirus pandemic, he began talks with advisors and lenders, including Elliott Management Corp.. . and Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund Mubadala Investment Co. . Despite SoftBank's market capitalization of around $ 50 billion and three times that amount of assets, banks were hard to convince. They offered unfavorable conditions and torpedoed the talks, said one person involved in the negotiations. Instead, Son revealed plans to sell approximately $ 43 billion in assets to pay off debt and buy back shares. By June he had dumped $ 13. 7 billion Alibaba shares, an even larger portion of its stake in T-Mobile US Inc. . and some shares in SoftBank Corp.. . , its Japanese telecommunications unit. Then he went further and announced the sale of Arm to Nvidia Corp.. for around 40 billion US dollars, the stake in SoftBank Corp.. . by about a third and sale of a majority stake in the telephone distribution company Brightstar Corp.. . Son says he's now sitting on $ 80 billion in cash. The robust IPO has also brought some big gains for SoftBank on investments, including China’s KE Holdings Inc. . and DoorDash. However, SoftBank's market value has rallied more than 160% from its March low. The value of the stock outside of his control is approximately $ 87 billion. SoftBank is not required to publicly announce buyout plans unless specific steps are taken, e.g.. B.. the establishment of a special committee to review the offer or the obtaining of letters of intent from the banks for the financing, according to one of the known persons. The disclosure rules in Japan, where management buyouts are rare, have gray areas that would give SoftBank room to maneuver, the person said. Son can still do a traditional management buyout if the stock price drops below a certain level, one of the respondents said, declining to provide certain numbers. Elliott, SoftBank's largest outside shareholder, would attend, provided the stock was still trading at a discount to its underlying, according to someone else. The Japanese conglomerate is also less indebted today and a much easier tool for banks than it was in March, the person said. After the repurchase 1. SoftBank holds 35 trillion yen of shares this year and holds approximately 12% of the outstanding shares. Son controls about 26. 8% by different companies. The company has already announced plans to buy back 1. Another 5 trillion yen by July next year. At yesterday's closing price, this would increase Son's stake to less than 35%, a long way to a decisive majority. Some analysts are skeptical that in the face of such challenges, Son would seek a buyout - and its propensity to use cash for ambitious deals. "Until this year, Son has shown little appetite to tackle the rebate with buybacks," said Atul Goyal, senior analyst at Jefferies. "Are we supposed to believe that now he's going to be spending years and all of SoftBank's money on this program instead of doing what he really loves - making big stakes in technology?" The problem with a slow burning MBO strategy is that the buybacks are likely to add to the cost of the potential deal, according to Goyal. Even if Son manages to increase his personal stake in the company to 66%, Goyal is not convinced that he can carry out the buyout without a challenge from minority shareholders. Many at SoftBank are also against the idea of ​​going private. The sheer amount of cash is an obstacle. Privatization is also likely to cause a setback for rating agencies, making it difficult to refinance billions of dollars in corporate bonds, one person said. A buyout would actually prevent Son from doing big business for a year and a half, a factor that gives him food for thought, another person said. In February, when considering the idea of ​​a buyout, Son said he had decided against a deal after serious deliberation. Keeping SoftBank public would allow shareholders to participate in the company's growth and enforce management discipline, including transparency, he said at the time.
