Uber Technologies Inc UBER.N is planning to sell part of its $6.3 billion stake in Chinese ride-hailing firm Didi Chuxing to raise cash, Bloomberg News reported bloom.bg/2RAViKg on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.

CEO Dara Khosrowshahi is in talks about the sale with Didi and SoftBank Group Corp 9984.T, with a possible scenario of the Japanese conglomerate teaming up with other investors to acquire Uber's 15% stake in Didi, according to the report.

Uber and Softbank were not immediately available for comment, while Didi said it had no comment on the report.

In April, Uber said it expects an impairment charge of up to $2.2 billion against the carrying value of some of the company’s minority equity investments due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. [nL4N2C40L2]
