SoftBank Group Corp is borrowing nearly $4 billion from a group led by private equity giant Apollo Global Management Inc , a source familiar with the matter said, as the conglomerate looks to increase cash on hand after its finances came under pressure.

The loan, to be secured by SoftBank’s $40 billion Vision Fund 2, is expected to be funded by the end of the year, the source said.
