LONDON & TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SoftBank’s announcement of its intention to commence an initial buyback program of 500 billion yen is clearly an important first step in addressing the Company’s significant undervaluation, and one that Elliott supports. Elliott believes that SoftBank will have opportunities to pursue additional buybacks following the completion of the Sprint/T-Mobile transaction. Elliott trusts that SoftBank’s leadership will continue to build upon today’s progress and its demonstrated commitment to value creation.
