The SoftBank consortium is preparing to invest between $1 billion and $1.25 billion directly in Uber at the $68 billion price, so in theory the valuation would remain the same. But with as much as 10 times more shares potentially being sold at a discount, some people close to the deal say it would be fair to value Uber lower than $68 billion by taking the weighted average of shares. Not all agree, noting that private valuations can be subjective and set by the companies in coordination with investors. Now Uber prices its initial public offering of shares expected in 2019.
