Softbank bought (say, this is not the actual number) 5% of Intel, assuming they got 5% of the company, and then Intel makes a deal with the government to make new shares and give it 10% of the new shares, which means they actually bought only 4.5% of Intel, and therefore significantly overpaid

actually Intel made up new shares until the Government has 10% of all Intel shares ever, wanted to make that clear, not just 10% of the made up shares
