Exhibit 4


CONFIDENTIAL

February 7, 2023

Tom Wagner CEO
Berkshire Grey, Inc.
140 South Road
Bedford, MA 01730 Dear Tom:
SoftBank Group Corp. ("SoftBank") is pleased to provide this initial, non-binding indication of interest ("IOI") for the potential
acquisition (the "Proposed Transaction") of I 00% of the capital stock of Berkshire Grey, Inc. (" Berksh ire" or the "Company") by SoftBank or one of its affiliates. As we have discussed, SoftBa nk great ly admires Berkshire and believes that a partnership with SoftBank will position Berkshire for long-term success . This letter sets out  the indicative  terms  of  our  non-binding  proposal  (the "Pro posal"), which we believe represents a compelling opportunit y for the Company's stockholders, employees, customers and other stakeholders. The terms of the Proposed Transaction described below are  preliminary  and are  not intended  to be a  binding  offer of any kind; all terms remain subject to SoftBank's completion of appropr iate due  diligence,  including in  respect of tax, acco unt ing,  regu lator y, s truc turi ng and other matters.

General; Structure of Proposed Transaction    Sof tBank proposes to acq uire, whether by share purchase, tender offer, merger or otherwise, 100 % of the outstanding capital stock of the Company not held (directly or indirectly) at  the  time  of  closing  by SoftBa nk. The final structure of the transaction will be as mutually agreed between SoftBank and the Compa ny, based on due diligence concerning (among other things) tax and accounting matters, as well as other considerat ions.
Price and Consideration    SoftBank proposes to acquire the Company for a per-share purchase price of $1.30, to be paid in cash.

The valuation implied is the product of SoftBank's public information-based diligence to date. The comoletio n of further diligence mav result in SoftBank ascribing more or less value to the Comoanv.
Sources of Financing    T he transaction consideration will be paid by SoftBank with available cas h on balance sheet. As such, the Proposed Transactio n will not be subject to any financing conditio ns.
