Media reports: Activist investor sells off stake in SoftBank Group NHK

Media reports say Elliott Management, a US-based activist investor, has sold almost all of its remaining shares in Japan's SoftBank Group.

SoftBank Group last week reported a net loss of about 23 billion dollars for the April-to-June period this year.
