Oct 25 (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.
