TOKYO -- SoftBank Group has revived a $1.1 billion financing commitment to WeWork after fears over the U.S. office space provider's financial woes eased.

The senior secured debt, part of a $9.5 billion financing package to support WeWork after its initial public offering collapsed last year, was previously tied to a $3 billion tender offer for WeWork shares.
