(Reuters) -Softbank has approved a second installment of $22.5 billion to complete its $30 billion investment in OpenAI, the Information reported on Saturday.

The Japanese investment group's board has approved the installment as long as the artificial intelligence startup completes a corporate restructuring that would pave the way for an eventual public offering, the Information report said, citing a person with knowledge of the decision.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
