Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Grab Holdings Limited signed joint development agreements with SoftBank Group and PETROS for plans to develop AI infrastructure in Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia, with US$1.85 billion in proposed initial combined seed capital. The proposed capital comprises US$1 billion for Sarawak—US$800 million from SoftBank Group, US$100 million from Grab and US$100 million from PETROS—and US$850 million for Peninsular Malaysia, comprising US$650 million from Grab and US$200 million from SoftBank Group.

The investments are proposed to be deployed in stages subject to development and customer-contract milestones and necessary closing conditions. Grab will lead Peninsular Malaysia’s development as founding shareholder; SoftBank Group will remain the majority shareholder in Sarawak, where Grab has an option to increase its stake. The projects have a long-term target of five gigawatts or more of AI compute capacity. The agreements contain binding development and funding obligations, while formation of the joint-venture entities and investment terms remain subject to definitive agreements and stated conditions. SoftBank agreed in principle to a five-year lock-up on Grab shares held directly by an entity within its group, subject to agreed terms and customary exceptions.

Joint Development Agreement technical
"signing of joint development agreements"
A joint development agreement is a contract where two or more companies agree to share resources, costs and expertise to create a product, technology or process together. For investors it signals how firms will split risks, expenses and potential rewards—like two neighbors pooling tools and money to build a shared garage—so it can affect future revenue, cash needs, timelines and the value of each partner’s investment.
hyperscaler customers technical
"seek additional investors and hyperscaler customers"
non-recourse project financing financial
"third-party equity and non-recourse project financing"
A non-recourse project financing is a loan arranged so lenders can be repaid only from the specific project's cash flows and physical assets, not from the borrowing company’s other assets or from personal guarantees by the owners. For investors this matters because it isolates losses to that project: creditors bear more risk and usually charge higher returns, so project revenue stability and asset quality become the main drivers of value—like a mortgage that can be satisfied only by selling the house.
AI compute capacity technical
"long-term target of five gigawatts or more of AI compute capacity"
AI compute capacity is the total processing power available to train, run or scale artificial intelligence models, described by hardware (GPUs, CPUs, TPUs), cloud instances, throughput and performance metrics such as FLOPS, memory and interconnect speed. It matters to investors because it is like a factory's machinery: more or faster compute lets a company develop and deliver AI products quicker, affects operating costs and scalability, and influences revenue potential and capital spending assumptions.
lock-up financial
"agreed in principle to a five-year lock-up"
A lock-up is an agreement that prevents company insiders, early investors or employees from selling their shares for a set period after a public share offering. It matters to investors because it temporarily limits the number of shares available to trade—like a scheduled hold on extra inventory—and when that hold ends a large number of shares can enter the market, potentially putting downward pressure on the stock price and revealing insiders’ confidence in the company.

•Builds on the Framework Agreement signed in Kuching on October 8, 2026, advancing the partnership into the joint development phase
•Sarawak's AI infrastructure project to be led and majority-owned by SoftBank Group, with Grab and PETROS as strategic partners, with a long-term target of five gigawatts of AI compute capacity

TOKYO, SINGAPORE and KUCHING, November 9, 2026 – SoftBank Group Corp. (TSE: 9984, “SBG”, and together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, the “SoftBank Group”), Grab Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: GRAB) (“Grab”) and Petroleum Sarawak Berhad (“PETROS”) today announced the signing of a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) in connection with plans for US$1 billion (approximately RM4.07 billion) in initial combined seed capital to develop AI infrastructure in Sarawak.

Building on the Framework Agreement signed by the three parties in Kuching, Malaysia, on October 8, 2026, the JDA marks the next phase of the partnership to advance plans to develop AI infrastructure in Sarawak by combining SoftBank Group's global AI and technology capabilities, Grab's digital and AI expertise, and PETROS' local energy and infrastructure development experience. The collaboration aims to build towards a long-term target of five gigawatts of AI compute capacity and will also explore opportunities across the wider AI value chain, including AI compute and services, advanced technologies, robotics, local workforce and community development, in Sarawak, Malaysia.

The proposed initial investment in the Sarawak project is US$1 billion, comprising US$800 million from SoftBank Group, US$100 million from Grab and US$100 million from PETROS. The proposed investment will be deployed in stages subject to projects achieving key development and customer contract milestones, and the necessary closing conditions.

The investment forms part of a multi-year plan to develop AI compute capacity in Sarawak. The parties will also seek additional investors and hyperscaler customers to support the project's development and long-term expansion.

Once fully operational, the facilities are expected to be amongst the largest AI infrastructure of their kind in Asia, providing governments, multinational companies and small businesses with reliable access to advanced computing capabilities.

The project will be developed in close collaboration with Malaysia's Federal Government and the Sarawak Government, aligning with the National AI Action Plan 2026–2030 (AI



Nation 2030) to position Malaysia as an inclusive and sustainable AI nation, as well as Sarawak's long-term development aspiration under the Post COVID-19 Development Strategy 2030.

Exhibit 99.2

SoftBank Group and Grab Sign Joint Development Agreements to Develop AI Infrastructure in Malaysia

●SoftBank Group and Grab, together with PETROS, announce plans for US$1.85 billion in initial combined seed capital to build AI infrastructure across Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia
●Projects to be developed in partnership with global investors and hyperscalers, with a long-term target of five gigawatts or more of AI compute capacity, and a vision to move up the AI ecosystem over time

TOKYO and SINGAPORE, November 9, 2026 – SoftBank Group Corp. (TSE: 9984, “SBG”, and together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, the “SoftBank Group”) and Grab Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: GRAB) (“Grab”) today announced the signing of joint development agreements in connection with plans for US$1.85 billion in initial combined seed capital, together with Petroleum Sarawak Berhad (“PETROS”), to develop AI infrastructure in Malaysia.

The collaboration aims to establish AI infrastructure in Malaysia to meet the growing demand for computing capacity across Southeast Asia and globally. Once fully operational, the facilities are expected to be amongst the largest AI infrastructure of their kind in Asia, providing governments, multinational companies and small businesses with reliable access to advanced computing capabilities.

The combined investment forms part of a multi-year plan to develop AI compute capacity across Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia, with a long-term target of five gigawatts or more. The proposed initial combined seed capital is US$1.85 billion, comprising US$1 billion from SoftBank Group, US$750 million from Grab and US$100 million from PETROS.

The proposed investment will be deployed in stages subject to projects achieving key development and customer contract milestones, and the necessary closing conditions. The parties will also seek additional investors and hyperscaler customers to support project development and expansion.

POWERING SOUTHEAST ASIA'S AI-DRIVEN FUTURE

Research by Google, Temasek and Bain & Company indicates that per capita AI usage across Southeast Asia's six largest economies is currently around one-tenth of the level in the United States, with regional AI usage projected to scale by up to 60-fold by 2030.



[1] Meeting this anticipated demand will require substantial investment in AI infrastructure within the region.

The projects will be developed in close collaboration with Malaysia's Federal Government and the Sarawak Government, aligning with the National AI Action Plan 2026–2030 (AI Nation 2030) to position Malaysia as an inclusive and sustainable AI nation, as well as Sarawak's long-term development aspiration under the Post COVID-19 Development Strategy 2030. The facilities will operate in line with Malaysia’s renewable energy use guidelines, and feature high-efficiency infrastructure designed to reduce water use and reliance on local power grids.

Beyond AI infrastructure development, the parties will explore other areas of mutual interest, including advanced manufacturing in Malaysia. These initiatives are expected to create high-value employment opportunities in engineering, design and technical fields, while supporting the objectives of the National Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) Policy and the Malaysia Digital Economy Blueprint (MDEB). They will also help accelerate advanced technology adoption, improve productivity and strengthen the capabilities of Malaysia's workforce.

PROJECT OVERVIEW AND INVESTMENT
The Sarawak project will be jointly developed by SoftBank Group, Grab and PETROS, building on the Framework Agreement signed in Kuching on October 8, 2026. The proposed initial investment in the Sarawak project is US$1 billion, comprising US$800 million from SoftBank Group, US$100 million from Grab and US$100 million from PETROS. Grab has an option to increase its stake, which will cause SoftBank Group’s stake to decrease, albeit with SoftBank Group remaining as the majority shareholder. Further details are set out in the announcement issued by the three parties on November 9, 2026: here

The proposed initial seed capital for the Peninsular Malaysia project is US$850 million, comprising US$650 million from Grab and US$200 million from SoftBank Group. As the project’s founding shareholder, Grab will lead its development and bring in long-term strategic investors as the project scales, diversifying its funding base. Further development is expected to be funded at the project level through third-party equity and non-recourse project financing.

Anthony Tan is expected to oversee the development of both projects and appoint dedicated management teams to run day-to-day operations while continuing to lead Grab and create value for Grab and its ecosystem partners. The Grab Board has reviewed and approved his affiliation with the projects.

Given the parties' mutual interest in developing the AI ecosystem in Malaysia, SoftBank Group has agreed in principle to a five-year lock-up in respect of Grab shares that will be held directly by an entity within SoftBank Group, with the lock-up to take effect in accordance with the agreed terms and subject to customary exceptions.
