将来のリファイナンス計画

なお、当社は、平成18年4月に、完全子会社であるBBモバイル株式会社を通じて、ボーダフォン株式会社の発行済株式総数の99.54%を公開買付の方法により、約1兆6,900億円で買付けました。この買付のために、BBモバイル株式会社は計17金融機関から1兆2,800億円の約1年後を満期とするブリッジローン枠の設定を受けました。さらに当社は、ボーダフォン株式会社の買収に関連して、平成18年4月28日に、本件買付消却の対象であるソフトバンク株式会社2011年満期ユーロ建普通社債のリーガル・ディフィーザンスを実施するために600億円の無担保短期融資を受けました。当社グループは、当該ブリッジローン、及びその他短期負債のリファイナンスの可能性を検討中であり、今後新たな借入枠の設定等、負債調達を行なう可能性があります。

An Offer to Purchase for Cash will be sent to holders of Notes containing details of the Offer. The Offer does not constitute an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell the Notes in any circumstances in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. In those jurisdictions where the securities, blue sky or other laws require the Offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the Offer shall be deemed to be made on behalf of the Company by the sole dealer manager in respect of the Offer (the “Sole Dealer Manager”) or one or more registered brokers or dealers licensed under the laws of such jurisdiction. Neither the issuance of this press release nor any purchase of Notes shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that the information contained herein is current as of any time subsequent to the date of such information.
