On July 18, 2016, SoftBank (SoftBank) published a acquisition plan for British ARM Holdings (referred to as ARM).It is planned to be scheduled to acquire all the issued and planned shares issued by ARM with a cash of about 24 billion pounds (about 3.3 trillion yen).

The board of directors of ARM stated that all shareholders agreed to the acquisition plan and were recognized by the British court. The entire acquisition procedure would be completed before September 30.

Regarding the implementation of the acquisition of cash, 1 trillion yen will be allocated by the "Bridge Loan Agreement" concluded by SoftBank and Japan Mizuho Bank. The rest are solved by SoftBank themselves.) The action may be accumulating funds for the acquisition.

Sun Zhengyi, president of SoftBank, said that it is precisely to be able to use the important business opportunities brought by IoT (the Internet of Things) and decide to acquire ARM. The ARM after the acquisition is still operated as an independent enterprise, and SoftBank will continue to invest in it.During the year, the number of ARM British employees doubled.

In any case, if this acquisition is completed, SoftBank will become a leading company in the world semiconductor. Especially in the mobile market, it cannot be ignored anyway.
