The Hut Group last night struck a deal with Softbank that will lead to the Japanese conglomerate investing $2.3 billion in one of Britain’s fastest-growing technology companies.
Softbank, run by Masayoshi Son, the richest man in Japan, is immediately buying $730 million in new shares in THG as part of a $1 billion cash call.
Among the other institutions taking part in that placing is the Belgian investor Sofina, a long-term backer of THG, which is buying a further $85 million worth of shares.
Softbank’s investment will leave it with a share of about 9 per cent in the Manchester-based group.
Investors are paying 596p for the new shares, the same price at which they closed last night, having dropped nearly 5 per cent in
