TechFlow news, November 27 — According to CNBC, OpenAI has secured a new $1.5 billion investment from SoftBank, allowing employees to sell shares through a tender offer. One source familiar with the matter said this newly reported tender offer will conclude this week. The deal was driven by SoftBank's billionaire founder and CEO Masayoshi Son, who, after investing $500 million in OpenAI’s previous funding round, insisted on acquiring additional stakes.
One of the sources noted that this tender offer is unrelated to any potential plans by OpenAI to restructure the company into a for-profit entity.
