After pouring more than $2.1 billion into now-busted Katerra Inc., SoftBank Group Corp. is giving the construction startup one final cash infusion.

SoftBank is offering Katerra a $35 million loan to fund its operations in bankruptcy. In exchange for the so-called debtor-in-possession loan -- also called DIP financing -- Katerra will try to sell its assets in the next 60 days.
