Now the entity that is making its debut on the New York Stock Exchange has undergone a refresh under Chief Executive Sandeep Mathrani. It has closed locations, renegotiated leases and cut thousands of jobs to reduce expenses during the Covid-19 pandemic.\nThe deal with BowX Acquisition earlier this year gave WeWork a roughly $8 billion equity value. The combination provides WeWork with cash proceeds of about $1.3 billion, the companies said.\nShares will start trading Thursday under the name WeWork Inc. and the ticker symbol WE. On Wednesday, BowX Acquisition’s shares closed at $10.38, up 10.8%.\nFounded in 2010, WeWork is a player in the market for flexible office space. It signs long-term leases with landlords, and after renovating a space and furnishing it, the company subleases small offices or even whole buildings to tenants for as little as a month at a time.\nThe company had a $47 billion valuation in the lead-up to its IPO, but its attempt to tap the public markets in 2019 failed when investors rejected the money-losing company. Its visionary yet erratic leader, Adam Neumann, subsequently resigned as chief executive, telling staff in an email at the time that “too much focus has been placed on me.”\nSoftBank Group Corp., the Japanese technology investor that has poured money into WeWork, rescued the company after the failed IPO endeavor. It continues to hold a majority stake in WeWork after the SPAC deal. Mr. Neumann will have voting power of about 11% after the business combination, according to a securities filing.\nIn 2019, WeWork said that its mission was to “elevate the world’s consciousness” and that it could reduce costs by 66% compared with a standard lease. In its latest attempt to enter the public markets, WeWork released a slideshow for investors that included case studies of how companies could shave real-estate costs by around 25% per employee by switching to WeWork.\nAhead of the public-market debut, Mr. Mathrani marketed the company’s offering as so-called space as a service. “As companies around the world re-imagine their workplace, WeWork is uniquely positioned to offer the space and services that can power solutions built around flexibility,” he said Wednesday.\nThe Covid-19 pandemic struck just as WeWork was trying to rebound from its troubles in late 2019, posing a challenge for a company whose shared offices had workers in proximity. The company in August posted a net loss attributable to the company of $888.8 million for the three months ended June 30, compared with a loss of $863.8 million a year earlier.\nIn a securities filing, WeWork said its occupancy rate fell to 55% as of June 1 from 58% the same time last year because of a decline in demand primarily driven by the effects of Covid-19.\nMr. Mathrani and Executive Chairman Marcelo Claure, who is also the chief operating officer of SoftBank Group, will continue to be at the helm of WeWork as it goes public, the company said Wednesday.\nSPACs, also known as blank-check companies because they raise money with the purpose of seeking a target to merge with and take public, have risen in popularity as companies seek alternatives to a traditional IPO. Such ventures typically have two years to find a target. Share prices for listed SPACs have retreated this year, leaving many blank-check companies trading below their debut prices.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":853229426,"gmtCreate":1634816732441,"gmtModify":1634816732657,"author":{"id":"3586473514667147","authorId":"3586473514667147","name":"gky","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3586473514667147","authorIdStr":"3586473514667147"},"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/853229426","repostId":1180611610,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1180611610","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1634809573,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1180611610?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-10-21 17:46","market":"us","language":"en","title":"WeWork Set to Go Public via SPAC Deal, Two Years After Failed IPO","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1180611610","media":"Wall Street Journal","summary":"The shared-office company WeWork is set to trade publicly Thursday, capping a journey to a listing that included the implosion of its initial public offering in 2019.WeWork is going public through a combination with BowX Acquisition Corp., a special-purpose acquisition company.In 2019, WeWork’s IPO fell apart as the company faced questions about its corporate governance and how much it was worth.

It has closed locations, renegotiated leases and cut thousands of jobs to reduce expenses during the Covid-19 pandemic.\nThe deal with BowX Acquisition earlier this year gave WeWork a roughly $8 billion equity value.

On Wednesday, BowX Acquisition’s shares closed at $10.38, up 10.8%.\nFounded in 2010, WeWork is a player in the market for flexible office space. It signs long-term leases with landlords, and after renovating a space and furnishing it, the company subleases small offices or even whole buildings to tenants for as little as a month at a time.\nThe company had a $47 billion valuation in the lead-up to its IPO, but its attempt to tap the public markets in 2019 failed when investors rejected the money-losing company.

It continues to hold a majority stake in WeWork after the SPAC deal. Mr. Neumann will have voting power of about 11% after the business combination, according to a securities filing.\nIn 2019, WeWork said that its mission was to “elevate the world’s consciousness” and that it could reduce costs by 66% compared with a standard lease. In its latest attempt to enter the public markets, WeWork released a slideshow for investors that included case studies of how companies could shave real-estate costs by around 25% per employee by switching to WeWork.\nAhead of the public-market debut, Mr. Mathrani marketed the company’s offering as so-called space as a service. “As companies around the world re-imagine their workplace, WeWork is uniquely positioned to offer the space and services that can power solutions built around flexibility,” he said Wednesday.\nThe Covid-19 pandemic struck just as WeWork was trying to rebound from its troubles in late 2019, posing a challenge for a company whose shared offices had workers in proximity. The company in August posted a net loss attributable to the company of $888.8 million for the three months ended June 30, compared with a loss of $863.8 million a year earlier.\nIn a securities filing, WeWork said its occupancy rate fell to 55% as of June 1 from 58% the same time last year because of a decline in demand primarily driven by the effects of Covid-19.\nMr. Mathrani and Executive Chairman Marcelo Claure, who is also the chief operating officer of SoftBank Group, will continue to be at the helm of WeWork as it goes public, the company said Wednesday.\nSPACs, also known as blank-check companies because they raise money with the purpose of seeking a target to merge with and take public, have risen in popularity as companies seek alternatives to a traditional IPO.

Now the entity that is making its debut on the New York Stock Exchange has undergone a refresh under Chief Executive Sandeep Mathrani. It has closed locations, renegotiated leases and cut thousands of jobs to reduce expenses during the Covid-19 pandemic.\nThe deal with BowX Acquisition earlier this year gave WeWork a roughly $8 billion equity value. The combination provides WeWork with cash proceeds of about $1.3 billion, the companies said.\nShares will start trading Thursday under the name WeWork Inc. and the ticker symbol WE. On Wednesday, BowX Acquisition’s shares closed at $10.38, up 10.8%.\nFounded in 2010, WeWork is a player in the market for flexible office space. It signs long-term leases with landlords, and after renovating a space and furnishing it, the company subleases small offices or even whole buildings to tenants for as little as a month at a time.\nThe company had a $47 billion valuation in the lead-up to its IPO, but its attempt to tap the public markets in 2019 failed when investors rejected the money-losing company. Its visionary yet erratic leader, Adam Neumann, subsequently resigned as chief executive, telling staff in an email at the time that “too much focus has been placed on me.”\nSoftBank Group Corp., the Japanese technology investor that has poured money into WeWork, rescued the company after the failed IPO endeavor. It continues to hold a majority stake in WeWork after the SPAC deal. Mr. Neumann will have voting power of about 11% after the business combination, according to a securities filing.\nIn 2019, WeWork said that its mission was to “elevate the world’s consciousness” and that it could reduce costs by 66% compared with a standard lease.
