- Softbank has started telling some workers of the reductions, with at least 150 likely to be affected, Bloomberg reports.

- Earlier, founder Masayoshi Son had shared cost-cut intentions at his conglomerate and the Vision Fund investment arm after a record $23-billion loss. Most of the losses came from a plunge in the valuations of portfolio companies, including South Korea's Coupang, Inc (NYSE:CPNG) and DoorDash, Inc (NYSE:DASH).

- Softbank also explored the launch of a new giant startup investment fund after the poor performance of its two earlier funds.
- The leading startup investor will likely use its cash for the third SoftBank Vision Fund. SoftBank had also weighed putting additional money into Vision Fund 2.
- Son plans to visit Seoul for the first time in three years and discuss a potential partnership between Arm Ltd and Samsung Electronics Co Ltd (OTC:SSNLF).
- Price Action: SFTBF shares were down 0.38% at $34.28 at last check.
