TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's SoftBank Group Corp said on Monday it will repurchase up to 200 billion yen (1.51 billion pounds) of its domestic unsecured corporate bonds from June 30 to July 17, part of its plan to pay down debt. SoftBank Chief Executive Masayoshi Son is undertaking an asset monetisation programme to raise $41 billion to fund share buybacks and reduce debt, following a series of soured tech investments that drove the group to a record annual loss.
