Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>Softbank has raised $2.4bn (¥300bn) from the sale of TMUS shares to DT with proceeds likely earmarked for VF2 and possibly supporting ongoing share buybacks</li>
<li>The sale price is below market but surfacing cash is the more positive takeaway and should ease concerns on leverage that have lingered as tech valuations fall</li>
<li>The impact on the discount to NAV is likely to be weaker than the reaction to the TMUS/DT monetization in August/September</li>
