The hearing was originally scheduled for August 11, 2025.

Exclusive: SoftBank selects banks for US IPO of payments app PayPay, sources say

Aug 10 (Reuters) - SoftBank (9984.T), opens new tab has selected investment banks to help organize a potential initial public offering in the United States for its Japanese payments app operator PayPay, according to two people familiar with the matter. The banks leading preparations for the listing are Goldman Sachs (GS.N), opens new tab, JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N), opens new tab, Mizuho Financial Group (8411.T), opens new tab and Morgan Stanley (MS.N), opens new tab, the sources said. The PayPay offering may raise more than $2 billion from investors when it takes place, which the sources said could be as soon as the final quarter of this year. The sources declined to be named as the information is not public and cautioned that factors including timing and the amount the IPO could raise are subject to market conditions. SoftBank, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Mizuho, and Morgan Stanley declined to comment. PayPay played a role in encouraging Japanese consumers to move away from a long-standing preference for cash by offering rebates on payments through its mobile app. It also offers financial services including banking and credit cards. Reuters reported two years ago that SoftBank was considering a U.S. listing for PayPay, with the conglomerate saying earlier this year it wanted to IPO the business. Should it happen, it will be the first U.S. listing of a SoftBank majority investment since the blockbuster IPO of Arm Holdings . SoftBank took the chip designer public in 2023 at a valuation of $54.5 billion, which has subsequently increased to today's market capitalization of more than $145 billion. U.S. IPO activity has gained momentum in a long-awaited rebound, supported by strong tech earnings and signs of progress in trade negotiations that have helped restore investor confidence. The wave of solid market debuts marks a reversal from earlier this year, when uncertainty over President Donald Trump's tariff policies stalled new listings. PayPay's ownership is split between a number of SoftBank entities: wireless carrier SoftBank Corp (9434.T), opens new tab, the Vision Fund investment arm, and internet business LY Corp (4689.T), opens new tab, which is a joint venture between SoftBank and Naver Corp ( opens new tab.

Nvidia, AMD to pay 15% of China chip sale revenues to US, FT reports

Aug 10 (Reuters) - Nvidia (NVDA.O), opens new tab and AMD (AMD.O), opens new tab have agreed to give the U.S. government 15% of their revenues from chip sales in China, under an arrangement to obtain export licenses for the semiconductors, the Financial Times reported on Sunday. The revenue share applies to Nvidia's H20 chips and AMD's MI308 chips, the report said, citing a U.S. official, noting that the Trump administration had yet to determine how to use the money. The chipmakers agreed to the arrangement as a condition for obtaining export licences for the Chinese market that were granted last week, FT reported. Nvidia follows rules the U.S. government sets for its participation in worldwide markets, an Nvidia spokesperson told Reuters in an emailed statement. "While we haven't shipped H20 to China for months, we hope export control rules will let America compete in China and worldwide." AMD did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Commerce Department started issuing licenses to Nvidia to export its H20 chips to China last week, removing a significant hurdle to the artificial intelligence bellwether's access to a key market. The U.S. last month reversed an April ban on the sale of the H20 chip to China. The company had tailored the microprocessor specially to the Chinese market to comply with the Biden-era AI chip export controls.
