MASAYOSHI SON ACKNOWLEDGED the outlines of a succession plan at SoftBank Group Corp, addressing what may be investors' single biggest concern regarding the long-term future of the Japanese company.
Son said he plans to hold SoftBank's reins another ten years, but added he has several candidates for its next chief in mind from within the technology group. The candidates work alongside the billionaire every day, although he hasn't disclosed who they are to anyone, the 67-year-old said during a general shareholders' meeting in Tokyo on Friday.
