Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) may be deemed “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “pipeline,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Although WeWork believes the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statement are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be attained, and it is possible that actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors.

Forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q and in any document incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q may include, for example, statements about:

•our financial and business performance, and our ability to implement our business plan;

•the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including delays in customers and prospective customers returning to the office and taking occupancy, or changes in the preferences of customers and prospective customers with respect to remote or hybrid working, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a parallel delay, or potentially permanent change, in receiving the corresponding revenue;

•our projected financial information, anticipated growth rate, and market opportunity;

•our ability to maintain the listing of our Class A Common Stock and Warrants on the NYSE;

•our public securities’ potential liquidity and trading;

• our ability to raise additional capital in the future;

•our liquidity needs to operate our business and execute our strategy and related use of cash;

•our expectations about our ability to fully execute actions and steps that would be probable of mitigating the existence of substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern;

•our ability to realize the expected benefits from the 2023 Debt Restructuring Transactions (as defined below);

•the impact of foreign exchange rates on our financial performance;

•our ability to execute our restructuring plan relating to our business and our operating model;

•our success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, key employees or directors;

•our officers and directors allocating their time to other businesses and potentially having conflicts of interest with our business;

•the impact of the regulatory environment and complexities with compliance related to such environment;

•our ability to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting;

Table of Contents

•our ability to grow market share in our existing markets or any new markets we may enter;

•our ability to respond to changes in customer demand, geopolitical events, including the conflict in Ukraine, or other disruptions, and general economic conditions, including rising interest rates, inflation, and the impact of such conditions on WeWork and our customers;

•the current macroeconomic environment, including the health of the commercial real estate industry, and its impact on member churn and demand;

•risks associated with our real estate assets and increased competition in the commercial real estate industry;

•our ability to manage our growth effectively;

•our ability to achieve and maintain profitability in the future;

•our ability to access sources of capital, including debt financing and securitization funding to finance our real estate inventories and other sources of capital to finance operations and growth, and our ability to restructure, refinance, extend or repay our outstanding indebtedness;

•our ability to maintain and enhance our products and brand and to attract customers;

•our ability to manage, develop and refine our platform for managing and powering flexible work spaces and access to our customer base;

•the success of strategic relationships with third parties;

•the anticipated benefits of our partnerships with third parties;

•the outcome of any known and unknown litigation and regulatory proceedings, including the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against us or others relating to the 2023 Debt Restructuring Transactions;

•our expectations regarding our exits of underperforming locations, including the timing of any such exits and the ability to retain our members;

•the impact of the 2023 Debt Restructuring Transactions on our U.S. federal income tax position, including the availability of utilizing our net operating losses (“NOLs”) to offset any taxes incurred in connection therewith; and

•other factors detailed under the section entitled “Risk Factors” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”).

These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry as well as certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in “Risk Factors,” and other cautionary statements included in this Form 10-Q and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), which you should consider and read carefully.

We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment and have recently undergone significant changes at the executive and board levels and related to our planned growth trajectory. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this Form 10-Q, and our expected future levels of activity and performance, may not occur and actual results could differ

Table of Contents

materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. As a result, you should not regard any of these forward-looking statements as a representation or warranty by us or any other person or place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law.

You should read this Form 10-Q and the documents that we reference in this Form 10-Q in their entirety and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from our expectations. All of our forward-looking statements are qualified by the cautionary statements contained in this section and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Note 1. Organization and Business

WeWork Inc.'s core global business offering integrates space, community, services and technology in 777 locations, including 610 Consolidated Locations (as defined below), around the world as of June 2023. The Company's membership offerings are designed to accommodate its members' distinct space needs. WeWork provides its members the optionality to choose from a dedicated desk, a private office or a fully customized floor with the flexibility to choose the type of membership that works for them on a monthly subscription basis, through a multi-year membership agreement or on a pay-as-you-go basis.

The Company’s operations are headquartered in New York.

WeWork Companies Inc. was founded in 2010. The We Company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware in April 2019 as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of WeWork Companies Inc. As a result of various legal entity reorganization transactions undertaken in July 2019, The We Company became the holding company of the Company's business, and the then-stockholders of WeWork Companies Inc. became the stockholders of The We Company. WeWork Companies Inc. is the predecessor of The We Company for financial reporting purposes. Effective October 14, 2020, The We Company changed its legal name to WeWork Inc. ("Legacy WeWork").

On October 20, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the Company (which was formerly known as BowX Acquisition Corp. (“Legacy BowX”)) consummated a business combination pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 25, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Legacy BowX, a subsidiary of Legacy BowX, and Legacy WeWork. As contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (1) the subsidiary of Legacy BowX merged with and into Legacy WeWork, with Legacy WeWork surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Legacy BowX, and (2) immediately thereafter, Legacy WeWork merged with and into another subsidiary of Legacy BowX (such mergers and collectively with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”). In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, Legacy BowX changed its name to WeWork Inc., resulting in WeWork Inc. becoming a publicly traded company.

Unless the context indicates otherwise, references in this Form 10-Q to (A) “WeWork”, “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” are to the business of WeWork Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries following the closing of the Business Combination and to (B) “Legacy WeWork” are to WeWork Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the closing of the Business Combination. “Legacy BowX” refers to BowX Acquisition Corp. prior to the Business Combination.

The Company holds an indirect general partner interest and indirect limited partner interests in The We Company Management Holdings L.P. (the “WeWork Partnership”). The WeWork Partnership owns 100% of the equity in WeWork Companies LLC (the "Issuer"). The Company, through the WeWork Partnership and WeWork Companies LLC, holds all the assets held by WeWork Companies Inc. prior to the July 2019 legal entity reorganization and is subject to all the liabilities to which WeWork Companies Inc. was subject prior to the 2019 legal entity reorganization.

All references to "SBG" are references to SoftBank Group Corp. or a controlled affiliate or subsidiary thereof, but, unless the context otherwise requires, such references do not include SVF Endurance (Cayman) Limited ("SVFE"), the SoftBank Vision Fund (AIV M1) L.P. ("SoftBank Vision Fund") or the SoftBank Vision Fund II-2 L.P. ("SVF II").

In October 2019, Legacy WeWork entered into an agreement with SBG and SoftBank Vision Fund for additional equity and debt financing, as well as a number of changes to Legacy WeWork's corporate governance, including changes to the voting rights associated with certain series of Legacy WeWork's capital stock (as subsequently amended, the "Master Transaction Agreement"). The changes associated with this October 2019 agreement, related agreements and amendments entered into subsequent to October 2019, as described throughout these financial statement notes, are collectively referred to as the "SoftBank Transactions." SBG is a principal stockholder of the Company with representation on the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board").

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation — The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP” or "GAAP") for interim financial reporting. In accordance with such rules and regulations, certain information and accompanying note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, although the Company believes the disclosures included herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which are considered necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position of the Company at June 30, 2023 and the results of operations for the interim periods presented. The operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in WeWork Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed on March 29, 2023 (the "2022 Form 10-K").

Other than the changes described below, no material changes have been made to the Company's significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the 2022 Form 10-K. Certain terms not otherwise defined in this Form 10-Q have the meanings specified in the 2022 Form 10-K.

The Company operates as a single operating segment. See Note 20 for further discussion on the Company's segment reporting.

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, its majority‑owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities ("VIEs") for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company is required to consolidate entities deemed to be VIEs in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE when the Company has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

JapanCo, LatamCo, WeCap Manager, and WeCap Holdings Partnership (each as defined in Note 8) are the Company's only consolidated VIEs as of June 30, 2023. See Note 8 for discussion of the consolidated VIE transactions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. See Note 9 for discussion of the Company’s non-consolidated VIEs.

Liquidity and Going Concern — The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern. This presentation contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business and does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of the uncertainties described below.

Pursuant to ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern (“ASC 205-40”), management must evaluate whether there are conditions and events, considered in aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are issued. In accordance with ASC 205-40, management’s analysis can only include the potential mitigating impact of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented as of the issuance date if (a) it is probable that management’s plans will be

Table of Contents

effectively implemented on a timely basis, and (b) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, will alleviate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Evaluation in conjunction with the issuance of the June 30, 2023 unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company has incurred net losses of $0.7 billion, $2.3 billion, $4.6 billion, and $3.8 billion, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively, and negative cash flow from operating activities of $0.5 billion, $0.7 billion, $1.9 billion, and $0.9 billion, respectively for the same periods. The recent macroeconomic environment has caused higher member churn and weaker demand than contemplated under the Company's business plan, specifically in the second quarter of 2023. Consequently, membership as of June 30, 2023 was less than planned, resulting in a reduction in projected revenue and cash flows for the twelve-month period included in the going concern evaluation.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $205 million in cash and cash equivalents, including $46 million held at its consolidated VIEs, and $475 million in delayed draw note commitments, resulting in total liquidity of $680 million. The Company issued $175 million of the delayed draw notes in July 2023. See Note 12 for discussion of the delayed draw notes.

As a result of our losses and our projected cash needs, which have been impacted by the recent increases in member churn, combined with our current liquidity level, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon successful execution of management’s intended plan over the next twelve months to improve the Company’s liquidity and profitability, which includes, without limitation:

•Reducing rent and tenancy expense by taking additional restructuring actions and negotiating more favorable lease terms.

•Increasing revenue by reducing member churn and increasing new sales.

•Controlling expenses and limiting capital expenditures.

•Seeking additional capital through the issuance of debt or equity securities, or the sale of assets.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this going concern uncertainty.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

Estimates inherent in the current financial reporting process inevitably involve assumptions about future events. Actual results could differ from those estimates. This includes the net operating income assumptions in the Company's long-lived asset impairment testing, the timing of capital expenditures and fair value measurement changes for assets and liabilities that the Company measures at fair value and its assessment of its ability to continue to meet its obligations as they come due.

The Company's net operating assumptions and liquidity forecasts are based upon continued execution of its operational restructuring program and also includes management's best estimate of the currently evolving macroeconomic landscape, including a potential economic recession, rising interest rates, inflation, and the slower than expected recovery in certain markets from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. These macroeconomic factors may continue to have an impact on WeWork's business and its liquidity needs; however, the extent to which the Company's future results and liquidity needs are further

Table of Contents

affected will largely depend on the extent to which our members renew their membership agreements, the effect on demand for WeWork memberships, any permanent shifts in working from home and the Company's ongoing lease negotiations with its landlords, among others.

Reclassifications — Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years' financial information to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications include the inclusion of 5.00% Senior Notes in Long-term debt, net, and the inclusion of Warrant liabilities, net in Other liabilities for all periods presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These reclassifications also include the aggregation of Income (loss) from equity method and other investments, Interest income, and Gain (loss) from change in fair value of warrant liabilities into one financial statement line item, "Other income (expense), net" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Income Taxes — The Company calculates its quarterly income tax provision pursuant to Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 740-270, Income Taxes — Interim Reporting, which provides that a Company cannot recognize a tax benefit in its annual effective tax rate for any jurisdiction with a pre-tax book loss and full valuation allowance (“excluded jurisdictions”). For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $5 million and $3 million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 1.28% and 0.47%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $2 million and $2 million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of 0.29% and 0.18%, respectively. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had net deferred income tax assets of $8 million and $2 million, respectively, which were included within other assets on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company analyzed its various tax positions and did not identify any material uncertain tax positions for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Tax Asset Preservation Plan

In April 2023, the Company entered into a Tax Asset Preservation Plan with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as rights agent (the “Tax Asset Preservation Plan”). The purpose of the Tax Asset Preservation Plan is to facilitate the Company’s ability to preserve its NOLs and its other tax attributes in order to be able to offset potential future income taxes for federal income tax purposes. In connection therewith, the Company’s Board declared a dividend of (a) one Class A Right (a “Class A Right”) in respect of each share of Class A Common Stock of the Company and (b) one Class C Right (a “Class C Right” and, together with the Class A Rights, the “Rights”) in respect of each share of Class C Common Stock of the Company. As further set forth in the Tax Asset Preservation Plan, each Class A Right initially represents the right for the holder to purchase from the Company one ten-thousandth (a “Unit”) of a share of Class A common stock for a purchase price equal to the quotient of (x) $8.00 divided by (y) ten thousand, and each Class C Right initially entitles its holder to purchase from the Company, one Unit of a share of Class C common stock for a purchase price equal to the quotient of (x) $8.00 divided by (y) ten thousand, in each case, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the Tax Asset Preservation Plan. The Tax Asset Preservation Plan had no impact on the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023.

Debt modifications and extinguishments — When the Company modifies, exchanges or extinguishes debt, it first evaluates whether such modification, exchange or extinguishment qualifies as a troubled debt restructuring. To qualify as a troubled debt restructuring in accordance with ASC 470-60, Debt — Troubled Debt Restructuring, the debtor must experience a financial difficulty and the creditor must grant a concession to the debtor for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor's financial difficulties. If a troubled debt restructuring has occurred, the Company recognizes a gain on extinguishment of debt equal to the carrying amount of the extinguished debt, net of unamortized deferred financing costs, in excess of the fair value of the assets transferred and undiscounted cash flows specified by the new instruments.

Table of Contents

If a troubled debt restructuring is not determined to have occurred, the Company evaluates the modification in accordance with ASC 470-50, Debt — Modifications and Exchanges. In accordance with ASC 470-50 if the modifications are considered to be substantial, the modification is accounted for as an extinguishment of debt.

Note 4. Restructuring, Impairments and Gains on Sale

In September 2019, the Company initiated an operational restructuring program that included plans for cost reductions that aim to improve the Company's operating performance. Since 2019, the Company has made significant progress toward its operational restructuring goals including divesting or winding down various non-core operations not directly related to its core space-as-a-service offering, significant reductions in costs associated with selling, general and administrative expenses, and improvements to its operating performance through efforts in right-sizing its real estate portfolio to better match supply with demand in certain markets. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company terminated leases associated with a total of 35 previously opened locations, including 3 locations associated with sale of our net assets in WeWork South Africa (Pty) Ltd, and no pre-open locations compared to 18 previously opened locations and 4 pre-open locations terminated during the six months ended June 30, 2022, bringing the total terminations since the beginning of the restructuring to 287.

In conjunction with the efforts to right-size its real estate portfolio, since 2019 the Company has also successfully amended over 590 leases for a combination of partial terminations to reduce its leased space, rent reductions, rent deferrals, offsets for tenant improvement allowances and other strategic changes. These amendments and full and partial lease terminations have resulted in an estimated reduction of approximately $12.7 billion in total future undiscounted fixed minimum lease cost payments that were scheduled to be paid over the life of the original executed lease agreements, including changes to the obligations of WeWork South Africa (Pty) Ltd. ("South Africa") which occurred during the period it was consolidated. The sale of South Africa in March 2023 also resulted in a decline of approximately $21 million in our consolidated total future undiscounted fixed minimum lease cost payments based on the future obligations that existed just prior to the sale. Over 90 of these amendments were executed

Table of Contents

during the six months ended June 30, 2023, reducing the total future undiscounted fixed minimum lease cost payments by an estimated $2.0 billion.

The Company anticipates that there may be additional impairment, restructuring and related costs during 2023, consisting primarily of lease termination charges, other exit costs and costs related to ceased use buildings, as the Company is still in the process of finalizing and implementing its operational restructuring plans. Management is continuing to evaluate the Company's real estate portfolio in connection with its ongoing restructuring efforts and expects to exit additional leases.

Restructuring and other related (gains) costs totaled $(107) million and $(26) million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $(165) million and $(156) million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The details of these net charges were as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(Amounts in millions)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Employee terminations	$	7	$	7	$	14	$	9
Ceased use buildings	26		12		57		28
Gains on lease terminations, net	(150)		(50)		(257)		(204)

Other, net	10		5		21		11
Total	$	(107)	$	(26)	$	(165)	$	(156)

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, net restructuring liabilities totaled approximately $114 million and $53 million, respectively, including $103 million and $47 million, respectively, in accounts payable and accrued expenses and $13 million and $9 million, respectively, in other liabilities, net of $2 million and $3 million, respectively, in receivables from landlords in connection with lease terminations, included in other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending restructuring liability balances is as follows:


			Six Months Ended June 30,		Year Ended December 31,
(Amounts in millions)	2023	2022
Restructuring liability — Balance at beginning of period			$	53	$	79
Restructuring and other related (gains) costs expensed during the period			(165)		(200)
Cash payments of restructuring liabilities, net (1)			(109)		(213)
Non-cash impact — primarily asset and liability write-offs			335		387



Restructuring liability — Balance at end of period (2)			$	114	$	53

(1)Includes cash payments received from landlords for terminated leases of none and $22 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively.

(2)Includes lease termination fees of $66 million and $25 million included in accounts payables and accrued expenses and $13 million and $9 million in other liabilities as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

In connection with the operational restructuring program and related changes in the Company's leasing plans and planned or completed disposition or wind down of certain non-core operations and projects, the Company has also recorded various other non-routine write-offs, impairments and gains on sale of goodwill, intangibles and various other long-lived assets.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company also performed its quarterly impairment assessment for long-lived assets. As a result of macroeconomic events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the resulting declines in revenue and operating income experienced by certain locations as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, WeWork identified certain assets whose carrying value was now deemed to have been partially impaired. The Company evaluated its estimates and assumptions related to its locations’ future performance and performed a comprehensive review of its locations’ long-lived assets for impairment, including both

Table of Contents

property and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets, at an individual location level. Key assumptions used in estimating the fair value of WeWork's location assets in connection with the Company's impairment analyses are revenue growth, lease costs, market rental rates, changes in local real estate markets in which we operate, inflation, and the overall economics of the real estate industry. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $66 million and $4 million, respectively, in impairments, primarily as a result of decreases in projected cash flows primarily attributable to the impact of COVID-19. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $81 million and $39 million, respectively, in impairments, primarily as a result of decreases in projected cash flows primarily attributable to the impact of COVID-19.

Non-routine gains and impairment charges totaled $263 million and $36 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and are included on a net basis as impairment expense/(gain on sale) in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Non-routine gains and impairment charges totaled $340 million and $127 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and are included on a net basis as impairment expense/(gain on sale) in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 5. Acquisitions

In March 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the equity of Common Desk Inc. ("Common Desk") for a total consideration of $21 million. Common Desk is a Dallas-based coworking operator with 23 locations in Texas and North Carolina that operates a majority of its locations under asset-light management agreements with landlords.

At closing, the Company transferred to the owners of Common Desk $10 million in cash and $3 million fair value of 489,071 shares of its Class A common stock of the Company. The remaining consideration included a holdback of $3 million payable in cash and contingent consideration payable in 760,969 shares of Class A common stock with a fair value of $5 million at closing. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company released no holdbacks payable in cash or shares of Class A common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company released $1 million of the holdback payable in cash and 155,586 shares of Class A common stock with a value of $0.1 million. As of June 30, 2023, no remaining cash consideration was included in other liabilities. As of June 30, 2023, $1 million of contingent consideration payable in Class A common stock was included in additional paid-in capital on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration based on the likelihood of reaching set milestones. Each period, the contingent consideration will be remeasured to fair market value through the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a gain of none. During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a gain of $1 million included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The allocation of the total acquisition consideration during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was as follows:

Note 8. Consolidated VIEs and Noncontrolling Interests

As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, JapanCo, LatamCo, WeCap Manager, and WeCap Holdings Partnership are the Company's only consolidated VIEs. The Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary as we have the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance and the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. As a result, these entities remain consolidated subsidiaries of the Company and the interests owned by the other investors and the net income or loss and comprehensive income or loss attributable to the other investors are reflected as redeemable noncontrolling interests and noncontrolling interests on WeWork's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, respectively.

The following table includes selected condensed consolidated financial information as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 of the Company's consolidated VIEs, as included in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in each case, after intercompany eliminations.

(1)The “SBG JVs” include JapanCo and LatamCo as of and for the periods that each represented a consolidated VIE. The consent of an affiliate of SoftBank Group Capital Limited is required for any dividends to be distributed by JapanCo and LatamCo. As a result, any net assets of JapanCo and LatamCo would be considered restricted net assets to the Company as of June 30, 2023. The net assets of the SBG JVs include membership interest in JapanCo issued to affiliates of SBG with liquidation preferences totaling $500 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and ordinary shares in LatamCo totaling $80 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 that are redeemable upon the occurrence of event that is not solely within the control of the Company. After reducing the net assets of the SBG JVs by the liquidation preference associated with such membership interest and redeemable ordinary shares, the remaining net assets of the SBG JVs are negative as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

(2)For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, "Other VIEs" includes WeCap Manager and WeCap Holdings Partnership.

(3)Total net assets represents total assets less total liabilities and redeemable stock issued by VIEs after the total assets and total liabilities have both been reduced to remove amounts that eliminate in consolidation.

The assets of consolidated VIEs will be used first to settle obligations of the applicable VIE. Remaining assets may then be distributed to the VIEs' owners, including the Company, subject to the liquidation preferences of certain noncontrolling interest holders and any other preferential distribution provisions contained within the operating agreements of the relevant VIEs. Other than the restrictions relating to the Company’s SBG JVs as discussed in (1) above, third-party approval for the distribution of available net assets is not required for the Company’s Other VIEs as of June 30, 2023. See Note 18 for a discussion of additional restrictions on the net assets of WeWork Companies LLC.

WeWork Partnership

On October 21, 2021, Mr. Neumann converted 19,896,032 vested WeWork Partnership Profits Interest Units into WeWork Partnership Class A common units. On the date of the conversion notice, the distribution threshold of Mr. Neumann’s vested profits interest units was $10.38, and the catch-up base amount was $0.00 for a conversion fair value of $234 million. The Company recorded the conversion as a noncontrolling interest on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at the conversion fair value. On December 31, 2021, Mr. Neumann transferred all of his WeWork Partnership Class A Common Units to NAM WWC Holdings, LLC, which is Mr. Neumann’s affiliated investment vehicle. As of June 30, 2023, NAM WWC Holdings, LLC owned 0.93% of the WeWork Partnership and the Company allocated a loss of $3 million and $10 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, which was based on the relative ownership interests of Class A common unit holders in the WeWork Partnership in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2022, NAM WWC Holdings, LLC owned 2.73% of the WeWork Partnership and the Company allocated a loss of $16 million and $27 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

JapanCo

During 2017, a consolidated subsidiary of the Company (“JapanCo”) entered into an agreement with an affiliate of SBG for the sale of a 50.0% membership interest in JapanCo for an aggregate contribution of $500 million which was funded over a period of time. In April 2022, JapanCo received additional contributions from the members, including an additional contribution of $31 million from affiliates of SBG resulting in no change in ownership interest of JapanCo. In accordance with ASC 810, it was determined that the combined interest of the Company and its related party, the affiliate of SBG, are the primary beneficiary of JapanCo. The Company was also determined to be the related party that is most closely associated to JapanCo as the activities that most significantly impact JapanCo's economic performance are aligned with those of the Company. As long as the investors remain shareholders of JapanCo,

Table of Contents

JapanCo will be the exclusive operator of the Company’s WeWork branded space-as-a-service businesses in Japan.

LatamCo

During September 2021, a consolidated subsidiary of the Company (“LatamCo”) entered into an agreement with SoftBank Latin America ("SBLA"), an affiliate of SBG, for the sale of a 71.0% interest (with up to 49.9% voting power) in LatamCo for an aggregate contribution of $80 million funded through equity and secured promissory notes, in exchange for ordinary shares of LatamCo. As of December 31, 2021, LatamCo received the total contributions totaling $80 million. It was determined that the combined interest of the Company and SBLA, the affiliate of SBG, are the primary beneficiaries of LatamCo. The Company was also determined to be the related party that is most closely associated to LatamCo as the activities that most significantly impact LatamCo's economic performance are aligned with those of the Company. Due to the sell-out rights discussed below, the portion of consolidated equity attributable to the SBLA’s interests in LatamCo are reflected as redeemable noncontrolling interests within the mezzanine section of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Upon formation of LatamCo, the Company contributed its businesses in Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and Chile (collectively, the "Greater Latin American territory"), committed and funded $13 million to LatamCo, and remains as guarantor on certain lease obligations, in exchange for ordinary shares of LatamCo.

Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company was liable up to $27 million for costs related to the termination of certain leases within the first 12 months of the agreement, as of September 30, 2022, the Company had incurred $13 million of termination costs. In September 2022, the Company entered into an amended agreement removing the remaining liability for costs related to the termination of certain leases. Pursuant to the terms of the amended agreement, the Company is liable for the monthly reimbursements of certain real estate operating lease costs on certain leases through the end of their lease term, the remaining liability is approximately $30 million as of June 30, 2023. The longest lease term extends through 2034.

Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, an additional $60 million may be received by LatamCo from the exercise of SBLA's call options during the first and second year of operations. Further, SBLA maintains sell-out rights based on the performance of LatamCo, exercisable between September 1, 2025 and August 31, 2026, and the Company holds subsequent buy-out rights exercisable between September 1, 2027 and August 31, 2028. The stock associated with SBLA’s sell-out rights was initially recorded based on the fair value at the time of issuance. While SBLA’s ownership interest is not currently redeemable, based on management’s consideration of LatamCo’s expected future operating cash flows, it is not probable at June 30, 2023 that SBLA’s interest will become redeemable. The Company will accrete changes in the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest (redemption value) from the date that it becomes probable that the interest will become redeemable to the earliest redemption date, through an adjustment to additional paid-in capital.

In February 2022, a fully owned subsidiary of the Company contributed its business in Costa Rica, transferring 100% interest to LatamCo, and granted LatamCo the exclusive right to operate the Company’s business in Costa Rica under the WeWork brand, in exchange for a waiver by SBG, an affiliate of SBLA, of its right to be reimbursed by the Company for $7 million of the remaining reimbursement obligation in connection with the SoftBank Transactions (as discussed in Note 19). Upon the contribution of its business in Costa Rica, Costa Rica is considered as part of the Greater Latin American territory.

Provided that certain investors remain shareholders of LatamCo, LatamCo will be the exclusive operator of the Company’s businesses in the Greater Latin American territory.

WeCap Manager

WeWork Capital Advisors LLC (the "WeCap Manager") is a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company and its controlled affiliates. The WeCap Manager is also 20% owned by another investor and its affiliates (other than the WeCap Manager) (together with the Company, the “Sponsor Group”), a global alternative asset management firm with assets under management across its private equity and real estate platforms. The portion of consolidated equity attributable to the outside investor's interest in the WeCap Manager is reflected as a noncontrolling interest in the equity section of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The WeCap Manager earns customary management fees, subject to provisions of the governing documents of the WeCap Manager relating to funding of losses incurred by the WeCap Manager. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the WeCap Manager recognized $3 million and $5 million, respectively, in management fee income, which is classified as other revenue as a component of the Company's total revenue on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the WeCap Manager recognized $8 million and $11 million, respectively, in management fee income.

WeCap Holdings Partnership

WeCap Manager and the Sponsor Group (collectively, "WeCap Investment Group") also includes the Company's general partner interests in WPI Fund, ARK Master Fund, and included its investment in DSQ prior to its sale in September 2022, held through a limited partnership (the "WeCap Holdings Partnership"). The Company consolidates the WeCap Holdings Partnership. Net carried interest distributions earned in respect of the WeCap Investment Group from its investments are distributable to the Company, indirectly through the WeCap Holdings Partnership, based on percentages that vary by the WeCap Investment Group vehicle and range from a 50% to 85% share to the Company of total net carried interest distributions received by the WeCap Holdings Partnership (after a profit participation allocation to certain personnel associated with the WeCap Manager). The portion of consolidated equity attributable to outside investor's interest in the WeCap Holdings Partnership is reflected as a noncontrolling interests in the equity section of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Primarily because WeWork's investments through the WeCap Holdings Partnership in the underlying real estate acquisition vehicles generally represent a small percentage of the total capital invested by third parties, and the terms on which we have agreed to provide services and act as general partner are consistent with the market for similar arrangements, the underlying real estate acquisition vehicles managed by the WeCap Manager are generally not consolidated in the Company's financial statements (subject to certain exceptions based on the specific facts of the particular vehicle). The Company accounts for its share of the underlying real estate acquisition vehicles as unconsolidated investments under the equity method of accounting. See Note 9 for additional details regarding the holdings of WeCap Holdings Partnership.

(1)In June 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with WeWork India Management Private Limited (“IndiaCo”), an affiliate of Embassy Property Developments Private Limited (“Embassy”), to subscribe for new convertible debentures to be issued by IndiaCo in an aggregate principal amount of $100 million (the "2020 Debentures"). During June 2020, $85 million of the principal had been funded, with the remaining $15 million funded in April 2021. The 2020 Debentures earned interest at a coupon rate of 12.5% per annum for the 18-month period beginning in June 2020 which then was reduced to 0.001% per annum and have a maximum term of 10 years. The 2020 Debentures were convertible into equity at the Company’s option after 18 months from June 2020 or upon mutual agreement between the Company, IndiaCo, and Embassy. In January 2022, the Company converted the 2020 Debentures and other convertible debentures into 12,397,510 and 3,375,000 common shares of IndiaCo, respectively, representing an ownership interest in IndiaCo of approximately 27.5%. During both the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded no credit loss valuation allowance on its investments in IndiaCo. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded a credit loss valuation allowance on its investments in IndiaCo totaling none and $1 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of the investment included $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for the unamortized guarantee.

IndiaCo constructs and operates workspace locations in India using WeWork’s branding, advice and sales model. Per the terms of an agreement between the Company and IndiaCo, the Company also receives a management fee from IndiaCo. The Company recorded $2 million and $2 million of management fee income from IndiaCo during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and recorded $4 million and $3 million of management fee income from IndiaCo during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Management fee income is included within service revenue as a component of total revenue in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(2)In addition to the general partner interest in the WPI Fund (as discussed and defined below) held by WeCap Holdings Partnership, a wholly owned subsidiary of the WeCap Investment Group also owns an 8% limited partner interest in the WPI Fund. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company terminated two operating lease agreements for space in buildings owned by the WPI Fund. In connection with these terminations, the Company agreed to waive its right to receive a distribution from the WPI Fund upon its sale of the buildings in which the leases were held. The Company recorded a downward adjustment of its investment in the WPI Fund of $7 million, included as a component of restructuring and other related (gains) costs on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

(3)As discussed in Note 8, the following investments are investments held by WeCap Holdings Partnership, which are accounted for by the WeCap Holdings Partnership as equity method investments:

•"WPI Fund" — a real estate investment fund in which WeCap Holdings Partnership holds the 0.5% general partner interest. The WPI Fund’s focus is acquiring, developing and managing office assets with current or expected vacancy suitable for WeWork occupancy, currently primarily focusing on opportunities in North America and Europe.

•"ARK Master Fund" — an investment fund in which WeCap Holdings Partnership is the general partner and holds a limited partner interest totaling 2% of the fund's invested capital. ARK Master Fund invests in real estate and real estate-related investments that it expects could benefit from the Company’s occupancy or involvement or the involvement of the limited partners of the ARK Master Fund.

(4)In October 2020, the Company deconsolidated ChinaCo and its retained 21.6% ordinary share equity method investment was recorded at a fair value of $26 million plus capitalized legal cost for a total initial cost basis and carrying value as of December 31, 2020 of $29 million. Pursuant to ASC 323-10-35-20, the Company discontinued applying the equity method on the ChinaCo investment when the carrying amount was reduced to zero in the first quarter of 2021. The Company will resume application of the equity method if, during the period the equity method was suspended, the Company's share of unrecognized net income exceeds the Company's share of unrecognized net losses. The Company's remaining interest was diluted down to 19.7% in

connection with the Second Investment Closing on September 29, 2021. See Note 19 for details regarding various related party fees payable by ChinaCo to the Company.

(5)The Company held various other investments as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. In February 2022, the Company purchased shares of Upflex Inc. ("Upflex") Series A Preferred Stock for a total purchase price of $5 million, representing approximately 5.38% ownership on a fully diluted basis. Upflex is a coworking aggregator and global flexible workplace startup.

As of June 30, 2023, the WPI Fund, ARK Master Fund, IndiaCo, ChinaCo and certain other entities in which the Company or WeCap Holdings Partnership has invested are unconsolidated VIEs. In all cases, neither the Company nor the WeCap Holdings Partnership is the primary beneficiary, as neither the Company nor the WeCap Holdings Partnership has both the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and exposure to benefits or losses that could potentially be significant to the VIE. None of the debt held by these investments is recourse to either the Company or the WeCap Holdings Partnership, except for the $3 million in lease guarantees provided to landlords of ChinaCo by the Company, and the IndiaCo share pledge, both as described in Note 19. The Company's maximum loss is limited to the amount of its net investment in these VIEs, the $3 million in ChinaCo lease guarantees, the fair value of the IndiaCo shares pledged determined to be the lesser of (a) the IndiaCo debentures obtained and (b) the fair value of proceeds on the sale of 8,467,347 shares pledged of IndiaCo, and the unfunded commitments discussed below.

The Company recorded its share of gain (loss) related to its equity method and other investments included as a component of Other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as follows:

In addition, pursuant to the SPA, the Issuers agreed to issue and sell, at their option, and the third party investor agreed to purchase, from time to time and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, up to $175 million in aggregate principal amount of newly issued 15.00% First Lien Senior Secured PIK Notes due 2027, Series III (with interest per annum payable 7.00% in cash and 8.00% in PIK) of the Issuers (the “First Lien Notes, Series III”, and collectively with the First Lien Notes, Series II, the "Delayed Draw Notes" and the First Lien Notes, Series I, the First Lien Notes, Series II, and the First Lien Notes, Series III, collectively, the "First Lien Notes").

We performed an assessment on a lender by lender basis to identify certain lenders that met the criteria for troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) under ASC 470-60, Troubled Debt Restructurings by Debtors (“ASC 470-60”).

We accounted for the exchange of approximately $855 million principal amount of debt, including 7.875% Senior Notes and 5.00% Senior Notes, Series II (collectively, "Old Notes"), for approximately $641 million principal amount of Second Lien Notes, shares of Class A Common Stock with a fair value of approximately $61 million, as well as the purchase of $467 million principal amount of First Lien Notes as a modification of debt as the lenders did not grant a concession and the difference between the present

Table of Contents

value of the old and new cash flows was less than 10%.

We accounted for the exchange of approximately $98 million principal amount of Old Notes for shares of Class A Common Stock with a fair value of approximately $43 million, as well as the purchase of $8 million principal amount of First Notes as a TDR, resulting in a gain recognition of approximately $40 million, included as a component of Other income (expense), net on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The $40 million gain on extinguishment of debt included a TDR gain on the carrying value adjustment of $49 million, partially offset by a $9 million write-off of deferred financing costs previously included in other assets.

We accounted for the exchange of approximately $93 million principal amount of Old Notes for approximately $46 million principal amount of Second Lien Notes, approximately $23 million principal amount of Third Lien Notes, shares of Class A Common Stock with a fair value of approximately $7 million, as well as the purchase of $25 million of First Lien Notes as a TDR. The TDR did not result in a gain recognition and we established new effective interest rates based on the revised cash flows and the remaining net carrying value of the Old Notes.

We accounted for the exchange of approximately $1.65 billion of 5.00% Senior Notes, Series I and $300 million Secured Notes held by certain entities affiliated with SBG for approximately $188 million principal amount of Second Lien Exchangeable Notes, approximately $270 million principal amount of Third Lien Exchangeable Notes, shares of Class A Common Stock with a fair value of approximately $494 million, the repayment of $300 million of Secured Notes outstanding, as well as a commitment to purchase up to $300 million of Delayed Draw First Lien Notes, as a TDR. The TDR did not result in a gain recognition, and we established new effective interest rates based on the revised cash flows and the remaining net carrying value of the 5.00% Senior Notes, Series I and Secured Notes.

The Company recognized $111 million in additional paid-in capital for the issuance of approximately 250 million shares of Class A Common Stock, reflecting the fair value of the shares, in exchange for Old Notes. The Company recognized $494 million in additional paid-in capital for the issuance of approximately 1.1 billion shares of Class A Common Stock, reflecting the fair value of the shares, in exchange for 5.00% Senior Notes, Series I held by companies affiliated with SBG. The Company also issued 35 million shares of Class A Common Stock to a third party investor for cash proceeds of approximately $40 million, and recognized $34 million in additional-paid in capital, representing the fair market value of the Company's Class A Common Stock on the date of the SPA. The residual excess $6 million was accounted for as vendor consideration and included as a component of other current liabilities and other liabilities of $2 million and $4 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2023. The vendor consideration will be amortized over the 3-year term of a commercial arrangement entered into with the third party investor as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company assessed all terms and features of the newly issued notes in connection with the 2023 Debt Restructuring Transactions (collectively, the "Exchange Notes") in order to identify any potential embedded features that would require bifurcation. As part of this analysis, the Company assessed the economic characteristics and risks of the Exchange Notes, including the exchange, put and call features. The Company determined that all features of the Exchange Notes were either clearly and closely related with a debt host and did not require bifurcation as a derivative liability, or the fair value of the feature was immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023 due to there being no circumstances or events indicating the possibility of triggering those features being anything but remote.

Transaction costs

In connection with the 2023 Debt Restructuring Transactions, the Company incurred $10 million of costs on behalf of certain creditors related to newly issued notes and recognized them as a debt discount included, net of accumulated amortization, as a component of long-term debt, net, and $3 million of debt

issuance costs related to the First Lien Notes, Series III and capitalized as a deferred financing cost and included, net of accumulated amortization, as a component of other assets, each on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the $25 million backstop fee paid to the Ad Hoc Group in the form of newly issued First Lien Notes was recognized as a debt discount, net of accumulated amortization, as a component of long-term debt, net, on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Each of these deferred financing costs will be amortized as a component of interest expense through the maturity of the applicable debt on April 15, 2027.

The Company recognized $28 million of costs as a reduction of additional paid-in capital on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, including $6 million of equity issuance costs and $22 million of costs incurred on behalf of a related party.

The Company also incurred none and $12 million of transaction costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, which were recognized as a component of restructuring and other related (gains) costs on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Due to the inherent uncertainty in the valuation process, the estimate of fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities may differ from values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements on a nonrecurring basis consist of certain investments, goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets on which impairment adjustments were required to be recorded during the period and assets and related liabilities held for sale which, if applicable, are measured at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell.

As of June 30, 2023, assets held for sale totaling $157 million and liabilities held for sale totaling $176 million are included in other current assets and other current liabilities, respectively, on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2022, assets held for sale totaling $52 million and liabilities held for sale totaling $83 million are included in other current assets and other current liabilities, respectively, on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, there were $1 million and $4 million, respectively, of impairment charges recorded related to assets and liabilities classified as held for sale, determined to be Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy based primarily on respective contracts of sale. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, there were no impairment charges recorded related to assets and liabilities classified as held for sale were determined to be Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy based primarily on respective contracts of sale.

The Company recorded impairment charges and other write-offs of certain other long-lived assets, impairing such assets to a carrying value of zero, for impairment charges totaling $228 million and $280 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The Company recorded impairment charges and other write-offs of certain other long-lived assets, impairing such assets to a carrying value of zero, for impairment charges totaling $3 million and $83 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company also recorded impairment charges totaling $35 million and $60 million, respectively, relating to right-of-use assets and property and equipment with an as adjusted remaining carrying value totaling $980 million as of June 30, 2023, valued based on Level 3 inputs representing market rent data for the market the right-of-use assets are located in.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $6 million related to DSQ, an equity method investee. Based on the extent to which the market value of the Company's investment was less than its carrying value and the Company's intent not to retain the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value, management determined that the decline in fair value was other than temporary in nature. This impairment charge was determined using a bid price (a Level 2 measurement) for the Company’s investments in DSQ, inclusive of the outstanding note receivable. In September 2022, the Company sold its investments in DSQ for proceeds of $46 million.

Other Fair Value Disclosures

The estimated fair value of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their carrying values due to their short maturity periods. As of June 30, 2023, the estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was approximately:

Remaining Performance Obligations

The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the Company's remaining performance obligations that represent contracted customer revenues that have not yet been recognized as revenue as of June 30, 2023, that will be recognized as revenue in future periods over the life of the customer contracts in accordance with ASC 606 was over $1.5 billion. Over half of the remaining performance obligation as of June 30, 2023 is scheduled to be recognized as revenue within the next twelve months, with the remaining to be recognized over the remaining life of the customer contracts, the longest of which extends through 2032.

Approximate future minimum lease cash flows to be received over the next five years and thereafter for non-cancelable membership agreements accounted for as leases in accordance with ASC 842 in effect at June 30, 2023 were as follows:


(Amounts in millions)	ASC 842 Revenue

2028 and beyond	37
Total	$	1,010

The combination of the remaining performance obligation to be recognized as revenue under ASC 606 plus the remaining future minimum lease cash flows of the Company’s member contracts that qualify as leases is comparable to what the Company has historically referred to as “Committed Revenue Backlog”, which totaled over $2.5 billion as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company has excluded from these amounts contracts with variable consideration where revenue is recognized using the right to invoice practical expedient.

Note 17. Net Loss Per Share

We compute net loss per share attributable to common stock under the two-class method required for multiple classes of common stock and participating securities. Accordingly, based on voting, liquidation and dividend rights, the Class A common stock share in our net losses. Although the shares of Class C common stock are a non-economic interest and do not share in our net losses, they are considered dilutive shares of Class A common stock because such shares can be exchanged into shares of Class A common stock. If the shares of Class C common stock correspond to WeWork Partnership Class A common units, the shares of Class C common stock (together with the corresponding WeWork Partnership Class A common units) can be exchanged for (at the Company's election) shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, or cash of an equivalent value. If the shares of Class C common stock correspond to WeWork Partnerships Profits Interests Units and the value of the WeWork

Table of Contents

Partnership has increased above the applicable aggregate distribution threshold of the Units, the shares of Class C common stock (together with the corresponding WeWork Partnerships Profits Interests Units) can be exchanged for (at the Company's election) a number of shares of Class A common stock based on the value of a share of Class A common stock on the exchange date to the applicable per-unit distribution threshold, or cash of an equivalent value. Accordingly, only the Class A common stock share in the Company's net losses.

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to WeWork Inc. attributable to its Class A common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of its Class A common stock outstanding during the period. As of June 30, 2023, the warrants held by SoftBank and SoftBank affiliates are exercisable at any time for nominal consideration, therefore, the shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants are considered outstanding for the purpose of calculating basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders. Accordingly, the calculation of weighted-average common shares outstanding includes 54,385,898 and 55,411,007 shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and 56,020,268 and 56,024,967 shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

For the computation of diluted net loss per share, net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for basic net loss per share is adjusted by the effect of dilutive securities, including awards under the Company's equity compensation plans. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the resulting net loss attributable to WeWork Inc. attributable to its Class A common stockholders by the weighted-average number of fully diluted common shares outstanding. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company's potential dilutive shares were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect of including these shares in the computation would have been anti-dilutive.

The numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted net loss per share computations for WeWork's common stock are calculated as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(Amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts)	2023		2022		2023		2022

Net loss per share attributable to Class A Common Stockholders:

Diluted	$	(0.21)	$	(0.76)	$	(0.51)	$	(1.33)

The following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods presented because including them would have been antidilutive, or issuance of such shares is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions which were not satisfied by the end of the period. These amounts represent the number of instruments outstanding at the end of each respective period.

Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies

Prior Credit Facilities and Standalone LC Arrangements — In November 2015, the Company amended and restated its existing credit facility (the "2019 Credit Facility") to provide up to $650 million in revolving loans and letters of credit, subject to certain financial and other covenants. At various points during 2016 through 2019, the Company executed amendments to the credit agreement governing the 2019 Credit Facility which amended certain of the financial and other covenants. In November 2017 and as later amended, the Company entered into a new letter of credit facility (the "2019 LC Facility") pursuant to the letter of credit reimbursement agreement that provided an additional $500 million in availability of standby letters of credit. In May 2019, the Company entered into an additional letter of credit reimbursement agreement that provided for an additional $200 million in availability of standby letters of credit.

In conjunction with the availability of the 2020 LC Facility (described below), the 2019 Credit Facility and the 2019 LC Facility were terminated in February 2020. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $6 million remains outstanding in a letter of credit issued under the 2019 LC Facility and is secured by a new letter of credit issued under the Senior LC Tranche.

The Company has also entered into various other letter of credit arrangements, the purpose of which is to guarantee payment under certain leases entered into by JapanCo and other fully owned subsidiaries. There was $3 million and $3 million of standby letters of credit outstanding under these other arrangements that are secured by none and $3 million of restricted cash at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Credit Agreement and Reimbursement Agreement — On December 27, 2019, WeWork Companies LLC entered into the Credit Agreement (as amended, waived or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement initially provided for a $1.75 billion senior secured letter of credit reimbursement facility (the "2020 LC Facility"), which was made available on February 10, 2020, for the support of WeWork Companies LLC's or its subsidiaries' obligations. As described further below, in May 2022, the existing 2020 LC Facility was amended and subdivided into a $1.25 billion senior tranche letter of credit facility (the "Senior LC Tranche"), which was then scheduled to automatically decrease to $1.05 billion in February 2023 and terminate in February 2024, and a $350 million junior tranche letter of credit facility (the "Junior LC Tranche"), which was then scheduled to terminate in November 2023. In December 2022, the Credit Agreement was further amended to, among other things, (i) extend the termination date of the existing Senior LC Tranche to March 14, 2025, and (ii) reduce the Senior LC Tranche to $1.1 billion, with a further decrease to $930 million on February 10, 2023. In February 2023, WeWork Companies LLC entered into a further amendment to the Credit Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the Junior LC Tranche was increased to $470 million, and extended to terminate in March 2025, and the Senior LC Tranche was increased from $930 million to $960 million.

As of June 30, 2023, $1.0 billion of standby letters of credit were outstanding and undrawn under the Senior LC Tranche, with no additional letters of credit available to be issued thereunder. The $1.0 billion of outstanding standby letters of credit include $22 million standby letters of credit secured by $29 million

of cash collateral that has been posted and included in restricted cash as a component of other current assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2023.

On March 25, 2021, the Company and SBG entered into a letter agreement (the “Credit Support Letter”) pursuant to which SBG committed to consent to an extension of the termination date of the 2020 LC Facility from February 10, 2023 to no later than February 10, 2024 (the "LC Facility Extension"), subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. In November 2021, the parties amended the Credit Support Letter (as so amended, the “Amended Credit Support Letter”), pursuant to which SBG agreed to consent to a reduction of the total commitment under the 2020 LC Facility from $1.75 billion to $1.25 billion starting on February 10, 2023 and to an extension of the commitment under the Senior Secured NPA for up to $500 million from February 12, 2023 to February 12, 2024.

On May 10, 2022, the Company and the other parties thereto entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement") pursuant to which the then existing facilities under the Credit Agreement were amended and subdivided into a $1.25 billion Senior LC Tranche, which was scheduled to decrease to $1.05 billion in February 2023, and the $350 million Junior LC Tranche. The letter of credit under the Junior LC Tranche was issued and drawn for the benefit of WeWork Companies LLC in full upon effectiveness of the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement. At the time of entry into the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, the termination date of the Junior LC Tranche was November 30, 2023 and the termination date of the Senior LC Tranche was February 9, 2024. Following the entry into the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, the reimbursement obligations under the Junior LC Tranche bore interest at the Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), with a floor of 0.75%, plus 6.50%, with an option to convert all or a portion of the outstanding obligations to the ABR (as defined in the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement) plus 5.50% on or after August 10, 2022. As a result of the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, the reimbursement obligations under the Junior LC Tranche were voluntarily repayable at any time, subject to a prepayment fee such that the minimum return to the letter of credit participants under the Junior LC Tranche on the Junior LC Tranche reimbursement obligations was an amount equal to the sum of 6.50% (the Applicable Margin of the Junior LC Tranche reimbursement obligations) and 2.00% of the total principal amount of the Junior LC Tranche reimbursement obligations, as set forth in the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement. Obligations of WeWork Companies LLC and its restricted subsidiaries under the Junior LC Tranche are subordinated in right of payment to the obligations under the Senior LC Tranche to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such obligations.

In December 2022, the Company and the other parties thereto entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement") to, among other things, (i) extend the termination date of the Senior LC Tranche to March 14, 2025, (ii) replace SBG with SVF II as an obligor with respect to the Senior LC Tranche and (iii) reduce the Senior LC Tranche to $1.1 billion, with a subsequent automatic decrease to $930 million on February 10, 2023. The reimbursement obligations under the Senior LC Tranche were amended to an amount equal to the sum of (i) 6.00% - 6.75%, based on the relevant Rating Level Period (as defined in the Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement), and (ii) 2.00% of the total principal amount of the Senior LC Tranche reimbursement obligations, as set forth in the Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement. The Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement provided for the resignation of SBG as the obligor and assumption by SVF II of all of SBG's obligations with respect to the Senior LC Tranche. The Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement provided that the total senior letter of credit tranche commitments may be increased to an amount not to exceed $1.25 billion until February 10, 2023 and $1.05 billion thereafter with additional commitments. The Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement also provides that if letter of credit reimbursements under the senior letter of credit tranche are made by SVF II, the commitments in respect of the senior letter of credit tranche will be reduced by a corresponding amount.

the Junior LC Tranche was extended from November 30, 2023 to March 7, 2025, (iii) the interest margin applicable to the Junior LC Tranche was increased from 6.50% to 9.90% for reimbursement obligations, and (iv) the Senior LC Tranche was increased from $930 million to $960 million. The Company recognized the Sixth Amendment to the Credit Agreement under ASC 470 as an extinguishment of the original $350 million reimbursement obligation with the exiting creditors paid in full, and a new issuance of a $470 million reimbursement obligation to the new creditors, including the Incoming Junior Tranche Participant. The $470 million Junior LC tranche was drawn in full for the benefit of WeWork Companies LLC upon effectiveness of the Sixth Amendment to the Credit Agreement. The reimbursement obligations under the Junior LC Tranche remain voluntarily repayable at any time, subject to a prepayment fee in connection with prepayments made during the 18 months following the date of the Sixth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, in the amount of the net present value of interest that would have accrued on such amounts prepaid from the prepayment date to the date that is 18 months following the date of the Sixth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, discounted by the Federal Funds Effective Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $17 million and $4 million, respectively, in interest expense in connection with the Junior LC Tranche. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $30 million and $4 million, respectively, in interest expense in connection with the Junior LC Tranche. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized $10 million of extinguishment of debt expense in connection with the Sixth Amendment to the Credit Agreement including a $7 million write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and a $3 million prepayment premium, included as a component of interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company's gross proceeds of $470 million from the issuance of the Junior LC Tranche were recorded net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $10 million in long term debt, net on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2023.

The letter of credit facilities under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by substantially all of the domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries of WeWork Companies LLC (collectively, the “Guarantors”) and are secured by substantially all the assets of WeWork Companies LLC and the Guarantors, in each case, subject to customary exceptions, with the obligations under the Junior LC Tranche subordinated to the obligations under the Senior LC Tranche to extent of the value of the collateral securing such obligations. The Credit Agreement and related documentation contain customary reimbursement provisions, representations, warranties, events of default and affirmative covenants (including with respect to cash management) for letter of credit facilities of this type. The negative covenants applicable to WeWork Companies LLC and its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Credit Agreement) are limited to cash management requirements and restrictions on liens (subject to exceptions substantially consistent with the indenture governing the 7.875% Senior Notes), changes in line of business, incurrence of "layering" indebtedness, and disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of WeWork Companies LLC.

Certain of our outstanding letters of credit under the Senior LC Tranche include annual renewal provisions under which the issuing banks can elect not to renew a letter of credit if the next annual renewal extends the LC period beyond March 14, 2025, the current termination date of the Senior LC Tranche. If a letter of credit is not renewed, the landlord may elect to draw the existing letter of credit before it expires, in which case either WeWork or SVF II would be obligated to repay the issuing bank immediately (after application of any Cash Collateral as defined in and pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement). The Company intends to extend the maturity of the Senior LC Tranche such that there are no material payments under these renewal provisions. The Company has not yet agreed to any final terms for any such extension and its execution and terms are uncertain and subject to change. The Company cannot give any assurances that any such extension will be completed on acceptable terms, or at all.

The reimbursement obligations under the Junior LC Tranche (i) are secured, and therefore effectively senior in right of payment with the 7.875% Senior Notes, the 5.00% Senior Notes, and any existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company, (ii) are senior in right of payment to any existing

and future subordinated obligations of the Company, and (iii) rank equally in right of payment with all secured indebtedness of the Company (other than the obligations under the Senior LC Tranche, to which the reimbursement obligations under the Junior LC Tranche are subordinated to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such obligations), including the Secured Notes, and are structurally subordinated to all liabilities of any subsidiary that does not guarantee the 2020 LC Facility.

As the Company is also obligated to issue shares to SBG in the future upon exercise of the 2020 LC Facility Warrant, with such warrant valued at issuance at $284 million (as discussed in Note 12), the implied interest rate for the Company on the 2020 LC Facility at issuance, assuming the full commitment is drawn, is approximately 12.47%.

The Reimbursement Agreement

In connection with entry into the Credit Agreement, WeWork Companies LLC also entered into a reimbursement agreement, dated as of February 10, 2020 (as amended, the "Company/SBG Reimbursement Agreement"), with SBG pursuant to which (i) SBG agreed to pay substantially all of the fees and expenses payable in connection with the Credit Agreement, (ii) the Company agreed to reimburse SBG for certain of such fees and expenses (including fronting fees up to an amount of 0.125% on the undrawn and unexpired amount of the letters of credit, plus any fronting fees in excess of 0.415% on the undrawn and unexpired amount of the letters of credit) as well as to pay SBG a fee of 5.475% on the amount of all outstanding letters of credit and (iii) the Guarantors agreed to guarantee the obligations of WeWork Companies LLC under the Company/SBG Reimbursement Agreement.

In December 2021, the Company/SBG Reimbursement Agreement was amended following the entry into the Amended Credit Support Letter to, among other things, change the fees payable by WeWork Companies LLC to SBG to (i) 2.875% of the face amount of letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement (drawn and undrawn), payable quarterly in arrears, plus (ii) the amount of any issuance fees payable on the outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement, which as of December 31, 2021, was equal to 2.6% of the face amount of letters of credit issued under the Senior LC Facility (drawn and undrawn). In May 2022, in connection with the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, the Company/SBG Reimbursement Agreement was amended to clarify that the payment obligations of certain fees and expenses in respect of the Junior LC Tranche related to the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement are the responsibility of the Company and not SBG, as described above.

In December 2022, the Company, SBG and SVF II entered into an Amended and Restated Reimbursement Agreement (as further amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the "A&R Reimbursement Agreement"), which amended and restated the Company/SBG Reimbursement Agreement, to, among other things, (i) substitute SVF II instead of SBG with respect to the Senior LC Tranche, (ii) retain SBG's role with respect to the Junior LC Tranche and (iii) amend the fees payable by the Company such that no fees will be owed to SVF II in respect of the senior letter of credit issued through February 10, 2024 and thereafter fees will accrue at 7.045% of the face amount of the Senior LC Tranche, compounding quarterly and payable at the earlier of March 14, 2025 and termination or acceleration of the Senior LC Tranche.

In February 2023, the Company, SBG and SVF II entered into the First Amendment to the A&R Reimbursement Agreement to, among other things, substitute SVF II instead of SBG with respect to the Junior LC Tranche and adjust the Company's reimbursement rights and obligations to each party accordingly. In addition the amendment modified the fees payable by the Company under the A&R Reimbursement Agreement, such that no fee would be owed to SVF II in respect of the Junior LC Tranche through November 30, 2023 and thereafter fees would accrue at 6.5% of the aggregate reimbursement obligations thereunder, compounding quarterly and payable at the earlier of March 7, 2025 and termination or acceleration of the Junior LC Tranche.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $16 million and $16 million, respectively, in interest expense in connection with amounts payable to SBG pursuant to the

Table of Contents

Company/SBG Reimbursement Agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $32 million and $33 million, respectively, in interest expense in connection with amounts payable to SBG pursuant to the Company/SBG Reimbursement Agreement.

LC Debt Facility — In May 2021, the Company entered into a loan agreement with a third party to raise up to $350 million of cash secured by one or more letters of credit issued pursuant to the 2020 LC Facility (the “LC Debt Facility”). The third party has the ability to issue a series of discount notes to investors of varying short term (one- to six- month) maturities and made a matching discount loan to the Company. The Company will pay the 5.475% issuance fee on the letter of credit, the 0.125% fronting fee on the letter of credit and the interest on the discount note which will be set with each note issuance. In September 2021, the Company repaid the initial LC Debt Facility and accrued interest totaling $350 million and entered into a new LC Debt Facility. In October 2021, the Company repaid the second LC Debt Facility and accrued interest totaling $350 million. As of December 31, 2022, there were no borrowings outstanding under the LC Debt Facility. The LC Debt Facility expired in February 2023.

In May 2021, the Company had capitalized a total of $0.5 million in debt issuance costs, as the nonrefundable engagement fee, which was fully amortized as of June 30, 2023. Such costs were capitalized as deferred financing costs and included as a component of other assets, net of accumulated amortization totaling $0.5 million as of December 31, 2022, on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded none and $0.1 million, respectively, of interest expense relating to the amortization of these costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded none and $0.1 million, respectively, of interest expense relating to the amortization of these costs.

Construction Commitments — In the ordinary course of its business, the Company enters into certain agreements to purchase construction and related contracting services related to the build-outs of the Company’s operating locations that are enforceable and legally binding, and that specify all significant terms and the approximate timing of the purchase transaction. The Company’s purchase orders are based on current needs and are fulfilled by the vendors as needed in accordance with the Company’s construction schedule. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had issued approximately $38 million and $60 million, respectively, in such outstanding construction commitments.

Legal Matters — The Company has in the past been, is currently and expects to continue in the future to be a party to or involved in pre-litigation disputes, individual actions, putative class actions or other collective actions, U.S. and foreign government regulatory inquiries and investigations and various other legal proceedings arising in the normal course of its business, including with members, employees, landlords and other commercial partners, securityholders, third-party license holders, competitors, government agencies and regulatory agencies, among others.

The Company reviews its litigation-related reserves regularly and, in accordance with GAAP, sets reserves where a loss is probable and estimable. The Company adjusts these reserves as appropriate; however, due to the unpredictable nature and timing of litigation, the ultimate loss associated with a given matter could significantly exceed the litigation reserve currently set by the Company. Given the information it has as of today, management believes that none of these matters will have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company is party to several litigation matters and regulatory matters not in the ordinary course of business. Some of these more significant matters are described below. Management intends to vigorously defend these cases and cooperate with regulators in these matters; however, there is a reasonable possibility that the Company could be unsuccessful in defending these claims and could incur losses. It is not currently possible to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss above the aggregated reserves.

Real Estate Transactions

The Company has several operating lease agreements for space in buildings owned by an entity in which the Company has an equity method investment through WeCap Investment Group. In September 2022, the WeCap Holdings Partnership sold its investment in DSQ. As a result, subsequent to the sale the operating lease obligations related to DSQ are no longer with a related party. In May 2023, the Company terminated two separate operating lease agreements for space in buildings owned by an entity in which the Company has an equity method investment. Details on this transaction are further discussed in Note 9.

The Company has also entered into three separate operating lease agreements and one finance lease agreement for space in buildings that are partially owned by Mr. Neumann. Another shareholder of the Company is also a partial owner of the building in which the Company holds the finance lease. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had terminated all operating lease agreements in buildings that are partially owned by Mr. Neumann.

In February 2022, the remaining operating lease agreement in a building that is partially owned by Mr. Neumann was formally terminated upon receiving the necessary ordinary course approvals. The negotiations for the termination occurred in the ordinary course and on arms' length terms. The terms of termination included the tenant entity’s release of $0.6 million in unpaid tenant improvement allowances that had been held in escrow in exchange for the forgiveness of certain tenant responsibilities under the lease and the landlord entity’s forgiveness of the remaining rent amounts then owed.

The lease activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 for these leases were as follows:

Additionally, the Company also agreed to reimburse SBG for all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the SoftBank Transactions in an aggregate amount up to $50 million. In February 2022, in connection with the Company's contribution of its business in Costa Rica to LatamCo (as discussed in Note 8), SBG waived its right to be reimbursed by the Company for $7 million of these obligations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company made no additional payments on these obligations to SBG. As of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, accounts payable and accrued expenses included $8 million payable to SBG related primarily to these reimbursement obligations.

(2)These related parties have significant influence over the Company through representation on the Company's Board or are vendors in which the Company has an equity method investment or other related party relationship.

Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement

In May 2023, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, by and among the Company, SVF Endurance (Cayman) Limited ("SVF I"), SVF II WW Holdings (Cayman) Limited (“SVF II WW Holdings”), and Benchmark Capital Partners VII (AIV), L.P. (the “Benchmark Investor” and together with SVF I and SVF II WW Holdings, the “Stockholders” and each a “Stockholder”) (the “Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement”), which amended and restated the Company’s existing Stockholders Agreement, dated as of October 20, 2021 (the “Original Stockholders Agreement”).

The Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement provides, among other things, that:

•if, at any time the number of directors entitled to be designated by a Stockholder decreases, then such Stockholder and the Company shall take all Necessary Action (as defined in the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement) to cause a sufficient number of directors designated by such Stockholder to resign from the Board at or prior to the end of such designated director’s term as may be determined by the Independent Directors (as defined in the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement),

•if a vacancy on the Board arises as a result of (x) the Benchmark Investor or Insight Partners losing their Board designation rights or declining to exercise such rights, (y) the designation rights of SVF I or SVF II WW Holdings stepping down in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement or (z) the death, removal or resignation of a director who was not nominated by any of the Stockholders, then such ensuing vacancy in each case shall be filled by a majority vote of the Independent Directors or a committee consisting entirely of Independent Directors,

•so long as SVF I and SVF II WW Holdings collectively hold a number of shares of Class A common stock and Class C common stock of the Company representing in excess of 49.90% of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Company, SVF I and SVF II WW Holdings shall take all Necessary Action to cause certain voting restrictions set forth in the Company's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to remain in full force and effect,

•so long as SVF I and SVF II WW Holdings collectively hold a number of shares of Class A common stock and Class C common stock of the Company representing at least 25% of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Company, (i) SVF I and SVF II WW Holdings are prohibited from taking any external actions to acquire the Company, or increasing their respective ownership of the Company’s voting securities, without first discussing such transaction with the Independent Directors, including as to the use of appropriate protections in such transaction for the potential benefit of the Company’s stockholders other than SVF I and SVF II WW Holdings and (ii) the Company shall not, without the approval of a majority of the Independent Directors, amend, modify, supplement or waive any material terms of the Company’s related party transaction policy.

Note 20. Segment Disclosures and Concentration

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses and has discrete financial information that is reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to make decisions about how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company operates in one operating segment as the Chief Executive Officer, who is our CODM, reviews financial information, assesses the performance of the Company and makes decisions about allocating resources on a consolidated basis.

(1)No individual countries exceed 10% of our revenues or property and equipment.

The Company's concentration in specific cities magnifies the risk to the Company of localized economic conditions in those cities or the surrounding regions. The majority of the Company's revenue is earned from locations in the United States and United Kingdom. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, approximately 41% and 44%, respectively, of the Company's revenue was earned in the United States and approximately 16% and 15%, respectively, of the Company's revenue was earned in the United Kingdom. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, approximately 41% and 44%, respectively, of the Company's revenue was earned in the United States and approximately 16% and 15%, respectively, of the Company's revenue was earned in the United Kingdom. The majority of the Company's 2023 revenue from locations in the United States was generated from locations in the greater New York City, San Francisco, and Boston markets. In the United Kingdom, 87% of 2023 revenues and 87% of the Company's property and equipment, net are related to WeWork locations in the greater London area. In the United States, the Company generally uses metropolitan statistical areas (as defined by the United States Census Bureau) to define its greater metropolitan markets. The nearest equivalent is used internationally.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 the Company had no single member that accounted for greater than 10% of the Company's total revenue.

Although the Company deposits its cash with multiple high credit quality financial institutions, its deposits, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company believes no significant concentration risk exists with respect to its cash and cash equivalents.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2023

(UNAUDITED)

As a result of various legal reorganization transactions undertaken in July 2019 as discussed in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, The We Company became the holding company of our business, and the then-stockholders of WeWork Companies Inc. (our predecessor for financial reporting purposes) became the stockholders of The We Company. Effective October 14, 2020, The We Company changed its legal name to WeWork Inc. ("Legacy WeWork").

On October 20, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), the Company (which was formerly known as BowX Acquisition Corp. (“Legacy BowX”)) consummated its previously announced business combination pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 25, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Legacy BowX, a subsidiary of Legacy BowX, and Legacy WeWork. As contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (1) the subsidiary of Legacy BowX merged with and into Legacy WeWork, with Legacy WeWork surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Legacy BowX, and (2) immediately thereafter, Legacy WeWork merged with and into another subsidiary of Legacy BowX (such mergers and collectively with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”). In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, Legacy BowX changed its name to WeWork Inc.

The Company holds an indirect general partner interest and indirect limited partner interests in The We Company Management Holdings L.P. (the “WeWork Partnership”). The WeWork Partnership owns 100% of the equity in WeWork Companies LLC. The Company, through the WeWork Partnership and WeWork Companies LLC, holds all the assets held by WeWork Companies Inc. prior to the July 2019 legal entity reorganization and is subject to all the liabilities to which WeWork Companies Inc. was subject prior to the 2019 legal entity reorganization.

The following Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of (i) WeWork Companies LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries, (ii) WeWork Inc. as a standalone legal entity, (iii) "Other Subsidiaries", other than WeWork Companies LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries, which are direct or indirect owners of WeWork Companies LLC, including but not limited to the WeWork Partnership, presented on a combined basis and (iv) the eliminations necessary to arrive at the information for WeWork Inc. on a consolidated basis.

The legal entity reorganization was accounted for as a transfer among entities under common control and the assets and liabilities transferred are recorded based on historical cost and the Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements including periods prior to the reorganization are presented as if the transfer occurred at the beginning of the periods presented. Investments in consolidated subsidiaries are presented under the equity method of accounting.

WeWork Inc. and the Other Subsidiaries are holding companies that conduct substantially all of their business operations through WeWork Companies LLC. As of June 30, 2023, based on the covenants and other restrictions of the Credit Agreement and the indentures governing the Company's notes, WeWork Companies LLC is restricted in its ability to transfer funds by loans, advances or dividends to WeWork Inc. and as a result, all of the net assets of WeWork Companies LLC are considered restricted net assets of WeWork Inc.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

WeWork is the leading global flexible workspace provider, serving a membership base of businesses large and small through our network of 777 locations, including 610 Consolidated Locations (as defined in the section entitled "Key Performance Indicators"), around the world as of June 2023. With our global footprint, we have worked to establish ourselves as the preeminent brand within the space-as-a-service category by combining best-in-class locations and design with member-first hospitality and exceptional community experiences.

WeWork’s core business offering provides flexibility across space, time and cost. Whether users are looking for a dedicated desk, a private office or a fully customized floor, our members have the flexibility to choose the amount of space they need and scale with us as their businesses grow. Members also have the optionality to choose the type of membership that works for them, with a range of flexible offerings that provide access to space on a monthly subscription basis, through a multi-year membership agreement or on a pay-as-you-go basis. Additionally, a WeWork membership provides members with portability of cost, giving our members the flexibility to move part or all of an existing commitment to a new market, region or country.

Membership agreements provide our members with access to space along with certain baseline amenities and services, such as private phone booths, internet, high-speed business printers and copiers, mail and packaging handling, front desk services, 24/7 building access, unique common areas and daily enhanced cleaning for no additional cost.

Beyond the amenities offered, we believe that our community team is what sets us apart from other space providers in the industry. With a member-first mindset, our community teams provide an exceptional level of hospitality by not only overseeing onsite operations and supporting day-to-day needs, but also focusing on cultivating meaningful relationships with and between our members to deliver a premium experience.

By providing all of the overhead services required to find and operate office space, WeWork significantly reduces the complexity and cost of leasing real estate to a simplified membership model.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, we accelerated our efforts to digitize our real estate offering through the launch of the WeWork All Access and WeWork On Demand products (collectively, "WeWork Access"). WeWork All Access is a monthly subscription-based model that provides members with access to book space at any participating WeWork location within their home country. Through WeWork All Access, members can book dedicated desks, conference rooms and private offices right from their phones – enabling users to choose when, where and how they work. WeWork On Demand provides users pay-as-you-go access to book individual workspace or conference rooms at nearby WeWork locations, giving members the flexibility to book individual workspace by the hour or conference rooms by the day on the WeWork On Demand mobile app.

Key Performance Indicators

To evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans and make strategic decisions, we rely on our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, non-GAAP measures, and the following key performance indicators.

For certain key performance indicators, the amounts we present are based on whether the indicator relates to a location for which the revenues and expenses of the location are consolidated within our results of operations ("Consolidated Locations") or whether the indicator relates to a location for which the revenues and expenses are not consolidated within our results of operations, but for which we are entitled to a management fee for our advisory services ("Unconsolidated Locations"). As of June 30, 2023, our Unconsolidated Locations include our locations in India, the Greater China region, Israel, South Africa and certain Common Desk Inc. ("Common Desk") locations under management agreements.

Table of Contents

Unless otherwise noted, we present our key performance indicators as an aggregation of Consolidated Locations and Unconsolidated Locations ("Systemwide Locations"). As presented in this Form 10-Q, certain amounts, percentages and other figures have been subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, figures shown as totals, dollars or percentage amounts of changes may not represent the arithmetic summation or calculation of the figures that precede them. Any totals of key performance indicators presented as of a period end reflect the count as of the first day of the last month in the period. First-of-the-month counts are used because the economics of those counts generally impact the results for that monthly period, and most move-ins and openings occur on the first day of the month.

Workstation Capacity

Workstation capacity represents the estimated number of workstations available at total open locations.

Workstation capacity is a key indicator of our scale and our capacity to sell memberships across our network of locations. Our future sales and marketing expenses and capital expenditures will be a function of our efforts to increase workstation capacity. The cost at which we build out our workstations affects our capital expenditures, and the cost at which we acquire memberships and fill our workstations affects our sales and marketing expenses. As of June 2023, we had total workstation capacity of 906 thousand, down approximately 2% from 922 thousand as of June 2022, with the decrease as a direct result of the Company's continued operational restructuring efforts to exit certain leases throughout 2022 and 2023.

Workstation capacity is presented in this Form 10-Q rounded to the nearest thousand. Workstation capacity is based on management’s best estimates of capacity at a location based on our inventory management system and sales layouts and is not meant to represent the actual count of workstations at our locations.

Memberships

Memberships are the cumulative number of physical memberships, WeWork All Access memberships, and WeMemberships (the latter of which are certain predecessor products). Physical memberships provide access to a workstation and represent the number of memberships from our various product offerings, including our standard dedicated desks, private offices and customized floors. WeWork All Access memberships are monthly memberships providing an individual with access to participating WeWork locations. WeMemberships are legacy products that provide member user login access to the WeWork member network online or through the mobile application as well as access to service offerings and the right to reserve space on an à la carte basis, among other benefits. Each physical membership, WeWork All Access membership, and other legacy memberships is considered to be one membership.

The number of memberships is a key indicator of the adoption of our global membership network, the scale and reach of our network and our ability to fill our locations with members. Memberships also represent monetization opportunities from our current and future service offerings. Memberships are presented in this Form 10-Q rounded to the nearest thousand. Memberships can differ from the number of individuals using workspace at our locations for a number of reasons, including members utilizing workspace for fewer individuals than the space was designed to accommodate.

As of June 2023, we had 730 thousand total memberships, an increase of approximately 1% from 723 thousand memberships as of June 2022. This increase in total memberships included a 1% decrease in physical memberships and a 24% increase in WeWork All Access and Other Legacy Memberships. Total memberships decreased 3% from 754 thousand as of December 2022, primarily driven by Enterprise Membership (as defined below) churn and the closure of some of our Consolidated Locations.

Physical Occupancy Rate

Physical occupancy rates are calculated by dividing physical memberships by workstation capacity in a location. Physical occupancy rates are a way of measuring how full our workspaces are. As of June 2023, our physical occupancy rate was 72%, consistent with June 2022. The physical occupancy rate remained

Table of Contents

consistent primarily due to a 1% decrease in physical memberships, combined with a 2% decrease in workstation capacity. Physical occupancy decreased 4% from 75% as of December 2022, primarily driven by the decrease in Enterprise Memberships discussed above.

Physical Membership Average Revenue per Membership

Physical membership monthly average revenue per membership ("ARPM") is calculated by dividing membership and service revenue less WeWork Access revenue and Unconsolidated Locations management fee revenue by Consolidated Locations cumulative physical memberships in the period. For example, a member that is active for ten months of the year would represent ten cumulative physical memberships. Physical membership monthly ARPM is a way of measuring the impact of revenue due to changes in price or rate. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, our physical membership monthly ARPM was $502, compared to $481 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, our physical membership monthly ARPM was $496, compared to $482 as of June 30, 2022. The increase in Physical membership monthly ARPM was primarily due to a $27 million and $44 million increase in early termination fees, which is reflective of increased churn experienced, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022.

A calculation of Physical Membership Monthly ARPM is set forth below:


(Amounts in millions, except memberships in thousands and ARPM in ones)	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Membership and service revenue	$	840	$	801	$	1,684	$	1,548
WeWork Access revenue	(62)		(45)		(121)		(81)
Unconsolidated Locations management fee revenue	(5)		(5)		(11)		(8)
Consolidated Locations Physical Membership and Service revenue	773		751		1,552		1,459
Consolidated Locations cumulative physical memberships	1,540		1,562		3,130		3,027
Physical Membership Monthly ARPM	$	502	$	481	$	496	$	482

Enterprise Physical Membership Percentage

Enterprise memberships represent memberships attributable to Enterprise Members, which we define as organizations with 500 or more full-time employees. Enterprise Members are strategically important for our business as they typically sign membership agreements with longer-term commitments and for multiple solutions, which enhances our revenue visibility.

Enterprise physical membership percentage represents the percentage of our memberships attributable to these organizations. There is no minimum number of workstations that an organization needs to reserve in order to be considered an Enterprise Member. For example, an organization with 700 full-time employees that pays for 50 of its employees to occupy workstations at our locations would be considered one Enterprise Member with 50 memberships. As of June 2023, 41% of our Consolidated Locations physical memberships were attributable to Enterprise Members, down from 45% as of June 2022. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, Enterprise Memberships accounted for 43% of membership and service revenue compared to 44% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, Enterprise Memberships accounted for 44% of membership and service revenue.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To evaluate the performance of our business, we rely on both our results of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP as well as certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, and constant-currency presentation of certain financial measures. These non-GAAP measures, as discussed further below, are not defined or calculated under principles, standards or rules

Table of Contents

that comprise GAAP. Accordingly, the non-GAAP financial measures we use and refer to should not be viewed as a substitute for financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and we encourage you not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business, financial condition, or results of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental measures that we believe provide management and our investors with a more detailed understanding of our performance. Our definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, and constant-currency described below are specific to our business and you should not assume that they are comparable to similarly titled financial measures that may be presented by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA

We supplement our GAAP financial results by evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure. We define "Adjusted EBITDA" as net loss before income tax (benefit) provision, interest and other (income) expenses, net, depreciation and amortization, restructuring and other related (gains) costs, impairment expense/(gain on sale), stock-based compensation expense, stock-based payments for services rendered by consultants, change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, legal, tax and regulatory reserves or settlements, legal costs incurred by the Company in connection with regulatory investigations and litigation regarding the Company’s 2019 withdrawn initial public offering and the related execution of the SoftBank Transactions, as defined in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q, net of any insurance or other recoveries, and expense related to mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and capital raising activities.

A reconciliation of net loss, the most comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA is set forth below:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(Amounts in millions)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Net loss(1)	$	(397)	$	(635)	$	(696)	$	(1,139)

Impairment expense/(gain on sale)(1)	263		36		340		127
Stock-based compensation expense(2)	3		13		6		26





Other, net(3)	—		1		5		2
Adjusted EBITDA	$	(36)	$	(134)	$	(65)	$	(346)

(1)As presented on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(2)Represents the non-cash expense of our equity compensation arrangements for employees, directors, and consultants.

(3)Other, net includes the remaining adjustments described above and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplemental measure of operating performance because it facilitates comparisons of historical performance by excluding non-cash items such as stock-based payments, fair market value adjustments and impairment charges and other amounts not directly attributable to our primary operations, such as the impact of restructuring costs, acquisitions, disposals, non-routine investigations, litigation and settlements. Depreciation and amortization relate primarily to the depreciation of our leasehold improvements, equipment and furniture. These capital expenditures are incurred and capitalized subsequent to the commencement of our leases and are depreciated over the lesser of the useful life of the asset or the term of the lease. The initial capital expenditures are assessed by management as an investing activity, and the related depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges that are not considered in management’s assessment of the daily operating performance of our locations. As a result the impact of depreciation and amortization is excluded from our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. Restructuring and other related (gains) costs relate primarily to the decision to slow growth and terminate leases and are therefore not ordinary course costs directly attributable to the daily operation of our locations. In addition,

Table of Contents

while the legal costs incurred by the Company in connection with regulatory investigations and litigation regarding the Company’s 2019 withdrawn initial public offering and the related execution of the SoftBank Transactions are cash expenses, these are not expected to be recurring after the matters are resolved and they do not represent expenses necessary for our business operations.

Adjusted EBITDA is also a key metric used internally by our management to evaluate performance and develop internal budgets and forecasts.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP and does not provide a complete understanding of our operating results as a whole. Some of these limitations are:

•it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

•it does not reflect our interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

•it does not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes;

•it does not reflect historical capital expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

•although stock-based compensation expenses are non-cash charges, we rely on equity compensation to compensate and incentivize employees, directors and certain consultants, and we may continue to do so in the future; and

•although depreciation, amortization and impairments are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and this non-GAAP measure does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

Free Cash Flow

Because of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA, as noted above, we also supplement our GAAP results by evaluating Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP measure. We define "Free Cash Flow" as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property, equipment and capitalized software, each as presented in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and calculated in accordance with GAAP.

A reconciliation of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, the most comparable GAAP measure, to Free Cash Flow is set forth below:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(Amounts in millions)	2023		2022
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities (1)	$	(530)	$	(535)
Less: Purchases of property, equipment and capitalized software (1)	(116)		(175)
Free Cash Flow	$	(646)	$	(710)

(1)As presented on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Free Cash Flow is both a performance measure and a liquidity measure that we believe provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by or used in the

Table of Contents

business. Free Cash Flow is also a key metric used internally by our management to develop internal budgets, forecasts and performance targets.

Free Cash Flow has limitations as an analytical tool, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP and does not provide a complete understanding of our results and liquidity as a whole. Some of these limitations are:

•it only includes cash outflows for purchases of property, equipment and capitalized software and not for other investing cash flow activity or financing cash flow activity;

•it is subject to variation between periods as a result of changes in working capital and changes in timing of receipts and disbursements;

•although non-cash GAAP straight-line lease costs are non-cash adjustments, these charges generally reflect amounts we will be required to pay our landlords in cash over the lifetime of our leases; and

Constant-Currency

We supplement our GAAP financial results and Adjusted EBITDA by evaluating our results on a constant-currency basis. We believe that the disclosure of our financial results on a constant-currency basis is a useful supplemental measure of operating performance because it facilitates comparisons of historical performance by excluding the effects of foreign currency volatility. We calculate our constant-currency results by translating the prior year functional currency results at the current period actual foreign currency exchange rate. The presentation of financial results on a constant-currency basis should be

Table of Contents

considered in addition to, but not a substitute for, measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP.

The following table sets forth the constant-currency impact of foreign exchange for certain financial measures on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

Key Factors Affecting the Comparability of Our Results

Foreign Currency Translation

As a global company, the comparability of our results of operations may be impacted by fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates used to translate our financial results to the U.S. dollar in countries where the U.S. dollar is not the functional currency. As the U.S. dollar strengthens relative to the functional currencies of our international operations, our international revenues will be unfavorably impacted, and as the U.S. dollar weakens relative to other functional currencies our international revenues will be favorably impacted.

See section above entitled "Key Performance Indicators — Non-GAAP Financial Measures — Constant Currency" for more information on how we supplement our financial results by evaluating them on a constant currency basis.

Restructuring and Impairments

In September 2019, we commenced an operational restructuring program to improve our financial position and refocus on our core space-as-a-service business, establishing an expected path to profitable growth.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we achieved an additional 23% reduction of total costs related to selling, general and administrative costs totaling $92 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we also terminated leases associated with a total of 35 previously opened locations, including 3 locations associated with sale of our net assets in WeWork South Africa (Pty) Ltd, bringing the total terminations since the beginning of the restructuring to 287.

In conjunction with the efforts to right-size our real estate portfolio, the Company has also successfully amended over 590 leases for a combination of partial terminations to reduce our leased space, rent reductions, rent deferrals, offsets for tenant improvement allowances and other strategic changes. These amendments and full and partial lease terminations have resulted in an estimated reduction of approximately $12.7 billion in total future undiscounted fixed minimum lease cost payments that were scheduled to be paid over the life of the original executed lease agreements, including changes to the obligations of ChinaCo which occurred during the period it was consolidated.

Management is continuing to evaluate our real estate portfolio in connection with our ongoing restructuring efforts and expects to exit additional leases over the remainder of the restructuring period. The Company anticipates that there may be additional impairment, restructuring and related costs during 2023, consisting primarily of lease termination charges, other exit costs and costs related to ceased use buildings, as the Company is still in the process of finalizing and implementing its operational restructuring plans.

As the Company continues to execute on its operational restructuring program and realizes the benefits of our efforts to create a leaner, more efficient organization, results may be less comparable period over period.

See Note 4 of the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information regarding our restructuring activities and impairment.

Components of Results of Operations

We assess the performance of our locations differently based on whether the revenues and expenses of the location are consolidated within our results of operations, which we refer to as Consolidated Locations, or whether the revenues and expenses of the location are not consolidated within our results of

Table of Contents

operations but for which we are entitled to a management fee for our services, such as locations in India, the Greater China region, Israel, South Africa (after March 1, 2023) and certain Common Desk locations. The term “locations” includes only Consolidated Locations when used in the sections entitled “—Components of Results of Operations" and "—Comparison of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022” but includes both Consolidated Locations and Unconsolidated Locations when used elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Revenue

Revenue includes membership and service revenue as well as other revenue as described below.

Membership revenue represents membership fees, net of discounts from sales of physical memberships ("WeWork Membership revenue") and membership fees, net of discounts from sales of WeWork All Access Memberships, WeWork On Demand and WeMemberships (collectively, "WeWork Access revenue"). We derive a significant majority of our revenue from recurring membership fees. The price of each membership varies based on the type of workplace solution selected by the member, the geographic location of the space occupied, and any monthly allowances for business services, such as conference room reservations and printing or copying allotments, that are included in the base membership fee. All memberships include access to our community through the WeWork app. Membership revenue is recognized monthly, on a ratable basis, over the life of the agreement, as access to space is provided. From time to time, members may terminate long term membership agreements for an early termination fee. The early termination fees are recognized as a component of Membership revenue and are amortized over the remaining duration of the membership agreement.

Service revenue primarily includes additional billings to members for ancillary business services in excess of the monthly allowances mentioned above. Services offered to members include access to conference rooms, printing, photocopies, initial set-up fees, phone and IT services, parking fees and other services.

Service revenue also includes commissions we earn from third-party service providers. We offer access to a variety of business and other services to our members, often at exclusive rates, and receive a percentage of the sale when one of our members purchases a service from a third party. These services range from business services to lifestyle perks. Service revenue also includes any management fee income for services provided to locations in India, the Greater China region, Israel, certain Common Desk locations, and South Africa (after March 1, 2023). Service revenue is recognized on a monthly basis as the services are provided.

Service revenue does not include any revenue recognized related to other non-core offerings not related to our space-as-a-service offering.

Other revenue primarily includes our former Powered by We design and development services in which we offered on-site office management that provides integrated design, construction and space management services.

Design and development services performed are recognized as revenue over time based on a percentage of contract costs incurred to date compared to the total estimated contract cost. The Company identifies only the specific costs incurred that contribute to the Company’s progress in satisfying the performance obligation. Contracts are generally segmented between types of services, such as consulting contracts, design and construction contracts, and operate contracts. Revenues related to each respective type of contract are recognized as or when the respective performance obligations are satisfied. When total cost estimates for these types of arrangements exceed revenues in a fixed-price arrangement, the estimated losses are recognized immediately.

Other revenue also includes revenue generated from various other non-core offerings, not directly related to the revenue we earn under our membership agreements through which we provide space-as-a-service.

Table of Contents

Also included in other revenue is other management and advisory fees earned. Other revenues are generally recognized over time, on a monthly basis, as the services are performed.

Location Operating Expenses

Location operating expenses include the day-to-day costs of operating an open location and exclude pre-opening costs, depreciation and amortization and general sales and marketing, which are separately recorded.

Lease Cost

Our most significant location operating expense is lease cost. Lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease term in accordance with GAAP based on the following three key components:

•Lease cost contractually paid or payable represents cash payments due for base and contingent rent, common area maintenance amounts and real estate taxes payable under the Company’s lease agreements, recorded on an accrual basis of accounting, regardless of the timing of when such amounts were actually paid.

•Amortization of lease incentives represents the amortization of amounts received or receivable for tenant improvement allowances and broker commissions (collectively, “lease incentives”), amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of our leases.

•Non-cash GAAP straight-line lease cost represents the adjustment required under GAAP to recognize the impact of "free rent" periods and lease cost escalation clauses on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Non-cash GAAP straight-line lease cost also includes the amortization of capitalized initial direct costs associated with obtaining a lease.

Other Location Operating Expenses

Other location operating expenses typically include utilities, ongoing repairs and maintenance, cleaning expenses, office expenses, security expenses, credit card processing fees and food and beverage costs. Location operating expenses also include personnel and related costs for the teams managing our community operations, including member relations, new member sales and member retention and facilities management.

Pre-Opening Location Expenses

Pre-opening location expenses include all expenses incurred while a location is not open for members. The primary components of pre-opening location expenses are lease cost expense, including our share of tenancy costs (including real estate and related taxes and common area maintenance charges), utilities, cleaning, personnel and related expenses and other costs incurred prior to generating revenue. Personnel expenses are included in pre-opening location expenses as we staff our locations prior to their opening to help ensure a smooth opening and a successful member move-in experience. Pre-opening location expenses also consist of expenses incurred during the period in which a workspace location has been closed for member operations and all members have been relocated to a new workspace location, prior to management's decision to enter negotiations to terminate a lease.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses consist primarily of personnel and stock-based compensation expenses related to our corporate employees, technology, consulting, legal and other professional services expenses, and costs for our corporate offices, such as costs associated with our billings, collections, purchasing and accounts payable functions. Also included in SG&A expenses are general sales and marketing efforts, including advertising costs, member referral fees, and costs

associated with strategic marketing events, and various other costs we incur to manage and support our business.

SG&A expenses also include cost of goods sold in connection with our former Powered by We on-site office design, development and management solutions.

Also included are corporate design, development, warehousing, logistics and real estate costs and expenses incurred researching and pursuing new markets, solutions and services, and other expenses related to the Company's growth and global expansion incurred during periods when the Company was focused on expansion. These costs include non-capitalized personnel and related expenses for our development, design, product, research, real estate, growth talent acquisition, mergers and acquisitions, legal, technology research and development teams and related professional fees and other expenses incurred such as growth related recruiting fees, employee relocation costs, due diligence, integration costs, transaction costs, contingent consideration fair value adjustments relating to acquisitions, write-off of previously capitalized costs for which the Company is no longer moving forward with the lease or project and other routine asset impairments and write-offs.

We expect that overall SG&A expenses will decrease as a percentage of revenue over time as we continue to execute on our operational restructuring plans aimed to enhance our operating efficiency and leverage the historical investments in people and technology that we have made to support the growth of our global community.

Restructuring and Other Related (Gains) Costs and Impairment Expense/(Gain on Sale)

See the section entitled "—Key Factors Affecting Comparability of Our Results—Restructuring and Impairments" above for details surrounding the components of these financial statement line items.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization primarily relates to the depreciation expense recorded on our property and equipment, the most significant component of which are the leasehold improvements made to our real estate portfolio.

Interest and Other Income (Expense)

Interest and other income (expense) is comprised of interest income, interest expense, extinguishment of debt expense, earnings from equity method and other investments, foreign currency gain (loss), and gain (loss) from change in fair value of warrant liabilities.

Foreign currency impact	N/A		(4)
Constant-currency total revenue	$	844	$	811	$	33	4	%

Total revenue increased $29 million and 4%, or 4% on a constant-currency basis. This increase was primarily driven by total membership and service revenue, which increased $39 million to $840 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $801 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Physical membership monthly ARPM increased 4% to $502 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $481 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, which is primarily attributable to a $27 million increase in early termination fees which is reflective of increased churn experienced for the three months ended June 30, 2023. See section below entitled "Quarterly Results of Operations" for the physical memberships as of each sequential quarterly period.

We continue to focus our efforts on digitizing our real estate offering through WeWork All Access and WeWork On Demand, which has resulted in an increase of All Access memberships to approximately 75 thousand as of June 2023 from approximately 62 thousand as of June 2022. The increase in WeWork All Access memberships also resulted in an increase of our WeWork Access revenue to $62 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $45 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

The increases in revenue discussed above were partially offset by a 71% decrease in other revenue to $4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $14 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily driven by the $6 million decrease in revenue related to Powered by We development services, as various ongoing projects reached substantial completion during 2022.

See Note 14 and Note 20 of the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional details on remaining revenue commitments and geographic concentration of revenue, respectively.

Table of Contents

for the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $1,548 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in membership and service revenue was primarily driven by a 3% increase in monthly average physical memberships to approximately 522 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from approximately 505 thousand monthly average physical memberships for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Physical membership monthly ARPM increased 3% to $496 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $482 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, which was primarily attributable to a $44 million increase in early termination fees which is reflective of increased churn experienced for the six months ended June 30, 2023. While revenues have increased year over year as of June 2023, Consolidated Locations physical membership had decreased 3% from June 2022. See section below entitled "Quarterly Results of Operations" for the physical memberships as of each sequential quarterly period.

We continue to focus our efforts on digitizing our real estate offering through WeWork All Access and WeWork On Demand, which has resulted in an increase of All Access memberships to approximately 75 thousand as of June 2023 from approximately 62 thousand as of June 2022. The increase in WeWork All Access memberships also resulted in an increase of our WeWork Access revenue to $121 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $81 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The increases in revenue discussed above were partially offset by a 72% decrease in other revenue to $9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $32 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily driven by the $18 million decrease related to Powered by We development services, as various ongoing projects reached substantial completion during 2022.

Location Operating Expenses

Impact of foreign exchange	N/A		(4)
Constant-currency location operating expenses	$	725	$	732	$	(7)	(1)	%

Location operating expenses decreased $11 million and 1%, or 1% on a constant-currency basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease was due primarily to continued lease terminations and a decline in real estate operating lease costs primarily as a result of COVID-19 and related cost cutting strategies. As a percentage of total revenue, location operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased by 4 percentage points to 86%, compared to 90% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in location operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue is attributed to both our continued cost cutting strategies compounded by a period over period increase in revenue, as discussed above.

The Company terminated leases associated with a total of 11 previously open locations during the three months ended June 30, 2023, in addition to 41 previously open locations subsequent to June 30, 2022. The location decreases were partially offset by the opening of 2 locations during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 22 locations subsequent to June 30, 2022.

Amortization of lease incentives	(9)	%	(9)	%	—	%
Total real estate operating lease cost	73	%	77	%	(4)	%

The $14 million decrease in non-cash GAAP straight-line lease cost was driven by continued lease terminations during the three months ended June 30, 2023, decreases in lease cost escalations and the end of free rent periods. The decrease in non-cash GAAP straight-line lease cost is also attributed to the decrease in our weighted average remaining lease term. The impact of straight-lining lease cost typically increases straight-line lease cost adjustments in the first half of the life of a lease, when lease cost recorded in accordance with GAAP exceeds cash payments made, and then decreases lease cost in the second half of the life of the lease, when lease cost is less than the cash payments required. The impact of straight-lining of lease cost nets to zero over the life of a lease.

The $5 million increase in lease cost contractually paid or payable was generally the result of an increase in building common area maintenance costs mainly as a result of location openings and increased rates during the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.

The remaining net decrease in all other location operating expenses consisted of decreases related to payroll and bad debt expense. These decreases were offset by increases in consumables, operating costs, and utilities during the three months ended June 30, 2023, driven by an increase in physical occupancy to 72% as of June 2023 from 70% as of June 2022.

Location operating expenses decreased $23 million and 2%, or increased less than 1% on a constant-currency basis. This decrease is mainly attributable to the foreign currency impact seen above and continued cost cutting strategies, partially offset by location openings discussed below. As a percentage of total revenue, location operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased by 7 percentage points to 86% compared to 93% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The Company terminated leases associated with a total of 35 previously opened locations during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 35 previously open locations in 2022, including 18 during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The location decreases were partially offset by the opening of 6 locations during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the opening of 36 locations during 2022, including 18 during the six months ended June 30, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company also successfully amended over 90 leases which include partial terminations to reduce our leased space, rent reductions, rent deferrals, offsets for tenant improvement allowances and other strategic changes.

The $23 million decrease in non-cash GAAP straight-line lease cost was driven by continued lease terminations during the six months ended June 30, 2023, decreases in lease cost escalations and the end of free rent periods. The decrease in non-cash GAAP straight-line lease cost is also attributed to the decrease in our weighted average remaining lease term. The impact of straight-lining lease cost typically increases straight-line lease cost adjustments in the first half of the life of a lease, when lease cost recorded in accordance with GAAP exceeds cash payments made, and then decreases lease cost in the second half of the life of the lease, when lease cost is less than the cash payments required. The impact of straight-lining of lease cost nets to zero over the life of a lease.

The $1 million decrease in lease cost contractually paid or payable was generally due to continued lease terminations and partially offset by an increase in building common area maintenance costs mainly as a result of location openings and increased rates, during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The $4 million decrease in amortization of lease incentives benefit was primarily due to locations that incurred amortization of lease incentive benefits during the six months ended June 30, 2022 no longer incurring amortization during the six months ended June 30, 2023 due to the lease terminations discussed above.

The remaining net decrease in all other location operating expenses consisted of decreases related to payroll. These decreases were offset by an increase in consumables, bad debt expense and utilities

SG&A expenses decreased $92 million and 23%, or 22% on a constant-currency basis, to $305 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. As a percentage of total revenue, SG&A expenses decreased by 7 percentage points to 18% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 25% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, driven primarily by our continued focus on creating a leaner, more efficient organization.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, there was a decrease of $39 million in employee compensation and benefits expenses as a result of slowing our growth, continued focus on creating a leaner, more efficient organization and our recent reduction in workforce. There were also decreases of $18 million related to stock-based compensation, $15 million in

Restructuring and other related (gains) costs increased $81 million to $(107) million for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

The increase in restructuring and other related (gains) costs was due in part to a $100 million increase in gains on terminated leases. The Company terminated a total of 11 locations during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 7 locations during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Partially offsetting the increase in gains on terminated leases was a $14 million increase in costs related to ceased use buildings and a $5 million increase in legal and other exit costs. Management is continuing to evaluate our real estate portfolio in connection with the Company's ongoing restructuring efforts and expects to exit additional leases.

Restructuring and other related (gains) costs increased $9 million to $(165) million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a $53 million increase in gains on terminated leases associated with a total of 35 locations during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to 22 locations during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in restructuring and other related (gains) costs was partially offset by a $29 million increase in costs related to ceased use buildings and a $10 million increase in legal and other exit costs. Management is continuing to evaluate the Company's real estate portfolio in connection with its ongoing restructuring efforts and expects to exit additional leases.

Interest and other income (expense), net increased $275 million to $(41) million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by foreign currency gains which increased by $177 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was driven by the foreign currency denominated intercompany transactions that are not of a long-term investment nature as a result

of our prior international expansion and currency fluctuations against the dollar. The $20 million foreign currency gain during the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily impacted by fluctuations in the U.S. dollar-British Pound and U.S. dollar-Euro

Interest expense decreased $57 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to the consummation of the 2023 Debt Restructuring Transactions (as discussed and described in Note 12 of the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q), resulting in a reduction of approximately $42 million of interest expense on previously issued debt that was exchanged, partially offset by an increase of approximately $21 million in interest expense, net of premium amortization related to newly issued debt. The decrease in interest expense was also due in part to $47 million of unamortized deferred financing costs expensed during the three months ended June 30, 2022 in connection with the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement. The decreases in interest expense were partially offset by a $13 million increase in interest expense due to the $350 million draw of the Junior LC Tranche in May 2022 and subsequent increase to $470 million in February 2023 in connection with the Fourth and Sixth Amendments to the Credit Agreement, respectively.

Other income (expense), net increased $41 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to a $40 million gain on the extinguishment of debt in connection with the 2023 Debt Restructuring Transactions.

See Note 12 and Note 18 of the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for further details on the 2023 Debt Restructuring Transactions and the Credit Agreement, respectively.

Interest and other income (expense), net increased $324 million to $(139) million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by a $252 million increase in foreign currency gain during the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily driven by the foreign currency denominated intercompany transactions that are not of a long-term investment nature as a result of our prior international expansion and currency fluctuations against the U.S. dollar. The $51 million foreign currency gain during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily impacted by fluctuations in the U.S. dollar-British Pound and U.S. dollar-Euro

Other income (expense), net increased $23 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to a $30 million net gain on the extinguishment of debt during the six months ended June 30, 2023, including a $40 million gain on the extinguishment of debt in connection with the 2023 Debt Restructuring Transactions, net of a $10 million loss on the extinguishment of debt in connection with the Sixth Amendment to the Credit Agreement. This increase was partially offset by a $9 million decrease due to the change in the fair value of warrant liabilities.

Income Tax Benefit (Provision)

(Amounts in millions, except percentages)	2023		2022		$		%
Income tax benefit (provision)	$	(5)	$	(3)	$	(2)	67	%

There was a $2 million net increase in the income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022, which was primarily due to higher state taxes as a result of the 2023 Debt Restructuring Transactions that was consummated during the three months ended June 30, 2023, in addition to higher withholding taxes during the period.

Our effective income tax rate during both the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of certain non-deductible permanent differences offset by net operating losses and valuation allowances.

Net Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

From 2017 through 2023, various of our consolidated subsidiaries issued equity to other parties in exchange for cash as more fully described in Note 8 of the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. As we have the power to direct the activities of these entities that most significantly impact their economic performance and the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to these entities, they remain our consolidated subsidiaries, and the interests owned by the other investors and the net income or loss and comprehensive income or loss attributable to the other investors are reflected as noncontrolling interests on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, respectively.

Table of Contents

The decreases in the net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to three and six months ended June 30, 2022, of $10 million and $44 million, respectively, are due to the decreased net losses incurred by JapanCo and LatamCo.

In addition, as a result of the 2023 Debt Restructuring Transactions, Mr.. Neumann's ownership in the WeWork Partnership decreased from 2.73% to 0.93% from June 30, 2022 to June 30, 2023, respectively. As a result, the Company allocated $3 million and $10 million to noncontrolling interests during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to $16 million and $27 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively.

See Note 9 of the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for discussion of the Company’s non-consolidated VIEs.

Net Loss Attributable to WeWork Inc.

As a result of the factors described above, we recorded a net loss attributable to WeWork Inc. of $(349) million and $(577) million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, compared to $(613) million and $(1,012) million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We expect that our principal sources of funds to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements for working capital, expenses, capital expenditures, lease security, other investments and repurchases or repayments of outstanding indebtedness and other liabilities will include:

•Cash on hand of $205 million of cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2023, of which $46 million was held by our consolidated VIEs that will be used first to settle obligations of the VIEs and is also subject to the restrictions, including with respect to declaring dividends, as discussed below; and

•The ability to draw up to $475 million in Delayed Draw Notes (as defined and described below). In July 2023, $175 million of Delayed Draw Notes were issued and $300 million remain available to draw as of the date hereof.

The Company's strategic plan used for evaluating liquidity includes future growth initiatives and continued execution of our operational restructuring program. The actual timing at which we may achieve profitability and positive cash flow from operations depends on a variety of factors, including the occupancy of our locations, the rates we are able to charge, the success of our cost efficiency efforts, economic and competitive conditions in the markets where we operate, general macroeconomic conditions, the pace at which we choose or are able to grow and our ability to add new members and new products and services to our platform.

Alternate long-term growth plans may require raising additional capital. The Company regularly evaluates alternatives for efficiently funding our operations and/or refinancing our existing indebtedness and paying any related accrued interests, premiums and fees, which may include, among other things, issuance of additional equity or debt financing and other opportunistic financing transactions, subject to prevailing market conditions and other considerations. Our future financing requirements and the future financing requirements of our consolidated VIEs will depend on many factors, including the number of new locations to be opened, our net member retention rate, the timing and extent of spending to support the development of our platform, the expansion of our sales and marketing activities and potential investments in, or acquisitions of, businesses or technologies. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. In addition, the incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that restrict our operations.

The Company's liquidity forecasts are based upon continued execution of its operational restructuring program and also includes management's best estimate of the currently evolving macroeconomic landscape, including a potential economic recession, rising interest rates, inflation, and the slower than expected recovery in certain markets from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. While we have seen an increase in physical occupancy and revenue year over year, these macroeconomic factors have recently contributed to a 3% decline in physical memberships and a 4% decline in physical occupancy from December 2022 to June 2023, resulting from membership churn that accelerated in the second quarter in relation to our plan. These macroeconomic factors may continue to have an impact on WeWork's business and its liquidity needs; however, the extent to which the Company's future results and liquidity needs are further affected will largely depend on the extent to which our members renew their membership agreements, the effect on demand for WeWork memberships, any permanent shifts in working from home and the Company's ongoing lease negotiations with its landlords, among others. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon successful execution of management’s expected plans over the next twelve months to improve the Company’s liquidity and profitability, which include, without limitation:

•Reducing rent and tenancy expense by taking additional restructuring actions and negotiating more favorable lease terms.

•Increasing revenue by reducing member churn and increasing new sales.

Table of Contents

•Controlling expenses and limiting capital expenditures.

•Seeking additional capital through the issuance of debt or equity securities, or the sale of assets.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, our primary sources of cash were from membership receipts, $500 million in proceeds related to new debt issuances in connection with the 2023 Debt Restructuring Transactions, and the $120 million Junior LC Tranche increase in connection with Sixth Amendment to the Credit Agreement. Our primary uses of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2023 included fixed operating lease cost and capital expenditures associated with the design and build-out of our spaces. We have also incurred costs related to our operational restructuring, including lease termination fees, legal fees and other exit costs. Cash payments of restructuring liabilities, net totaled $109 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Pre-opening location expenses and SG&A expenses have historically included large discretionary uses of cash that can and have been scaled back to the extent required based on our future cash needs. We also may elect to repurchase or retire amounts of our outstanding debt for cash, through open market repurchases or privately negotiated transactions with certain of our debt holders, although there is no assurance we will do so.

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs")

As of June 30, 2023, our consolidated VIEs held the following, in each case after intercompany eliminations:


	June 30, 2023
(Amounts in millions)	SBG JVs(1)		Other VIEs(2)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	38	$	8

Total assets	2,089		12
Total liabilities	2,039		2
Redeemable stock issued by VIEs	80		—
Total net assets (3)	(30)		10

(1)The “SBG JVs” as of June 30, 2023 include only JapanCo and LatamCo. As of June 30, 2023, JapanCo and LatamCo were prohibited from declaring dividends (including to us) without approval of an affiliate of SoftBank Group Capital Limited. As a result, any net assets of JapanCo and LatamCo would be considered restricted net assets to the Company as of June 30, 2023. The net assets of the SBG JVs include membership interest in JapanCo issued to affiliates of SBG with liquidation preferences totaling $500 million as of June 30, 2023 and ordinary shares in LatamCo totaling $80 million as of June 30, 2023 that are redeemable upon the occurrence of event that is not solely within the control of the company. After reducing the net assets of the SBG JVs by the liquidation preference associated with such membership interest and redeemable ordinary shares, the remaining net assets of the SBG JVs is negative as of June 30, 2023.

(2)"Other VIEs” includes the WeCap Manager and WeCap Holdings Partnership.

Based on the terms of the arrangements as of June 30, 2023, the assets of our consolidated VIEs will be used first to settle obligations of the VIEs. Remaining assets may then be distributed to the VIEs' owners, including us, subject to the liquidation preferences of certain noncontrolling interest holders and any other preferential distribution provisions contained within the operating agreements of the relevant VIEs. Other than the restrictions relating to our SBG JVs discussed in note (1) to the table above, third-party approval for the distribution of available net assets was not required for any of our consolidated VIEs as of June 30, 2023. See the section entitled "—First Lien Notes" below for a discussion on additional restrictions on the net assets of WeWork Companies LLC.

As of June 30, 2023, creditors of our consolidated VIEs did not have recourse against the general credit of the Company except with respect to certain lease guarantees we have provided to landlords of our consolidated VIEs, which guarantees totaled $203 million as of June 30, 2023. In addition, as of June 30, 2023, the Company also continued to guarantee $3 million and $2 million of lease obligations of ChinaCo. and South Africa, respectively.

We do not expect distributions from our consolidated VIEs or unconsolidated investments to be a significant source of liquidity, and our assessment of our ability to meet our capital requirements over the next 12 months does not assume that we will receive distributions from those entities.

7.875% Senior Notes

In April 2018, we issued $702 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Notes (the "7.875% Senior Notes") in a private offering. The 7.875% Senior Notes will mature on May 1, 2025 and bear interest at 7.875% per annum, payable semi-annually in cash. We received gross proceeds of $702 million from the issuance of the 7.875% Senior Notes.

The 7.875% Senior Notes are also fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and certain of the Issuer’s subsidiaries. The Company and the other subsidiaries that sit above the Issuer in our legal structure are holding companies that conduct substantially all of their business operations through the Issuer.

In December 2021, the 5.00% Senior Notes were subdivided into two series with similar terms, one of which consisted of $550 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.00% Senior Notes due 2025, Series II (the "5.00% Senior Notes, Series II"), and was sold to qualified investors in a private offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act, and the other consisted of the remaining $1.65 billion in aggregate principal amount of 5.00% Senior Notes due 2025, Series I (the "5.00% Senior Notes, Series I"), and which remained held by the Notes Purchaser.

In February 2020, in conjunction with the availability of the initial facility under the Credit Agreement, our 2019 Credit Facility and 2019 LC Facility (each as defined below) were terminated. As of June 30, 2023, $6 million remains outstanding in a letter of credit issued under the 2019 LC Facility and is secured by a new letter of credit issued under the Senior LC Tranche.

Other Letter of Credit Arrangements

(1)Future undiscounted fixed minimum lease cost payments for non-cancelable operating leases, inclusive of escalation clauses and exclusive of lease incentive receivables and contingent lease cost payments, that have initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year as of June 30, 2023. Excludes an additional $0.3 billion relating to executed non-cancelable leases that have not yet commenced as of June 30, 2023. See Note 15 of the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional details.

(2)In the ordinary course of our business, we enter into certain agreements to purchase construction and related contracting services related to the build-outs of our locations that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms and the approximate timing of the purchase transaction. Our purchase orders are based on current needs and are fulfilled by the vendors as needed in accordance with our construction schedule.

(3)Certain lease agreements contain provisions that require us to remove leasehold improvements at the end of the lease term. When such an obligation exists, we record an asset retirement obligation at the inception of the lease at its estimated fair value. These obligations are recorded as liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2023.

(4)Represents principal and interest payments on the First Lien Notes, the Second Lien Notes, the Third Lien Notes, the Second Lien Exchangeable Notes, the Third Lien Exchangeable Notes, 7.875% Senior Notes, 5.00% Senior Notes, Junior LC Tranche, and other loans as of June 30, 2023. See Note 12 of the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional details. In July 2023, the Company issued $117 million in aggregate principal balance of First Lien Notes, Series II and $58 million in aggregate principal balance of First Lien Notes, Series III.

Lease Obligations

The future undiscounted fixed minimum lease cost payment obligations under operating and finance leases signed as of June 30, 2023 were $25.1 billion. A majority of our leases are held by individual special purpose subsidiaries, and as of June 30, 2023, the total security packages provided by the Company and its subsidiaries in respect of these lease obligations was approximately $5.0 billion in the form of corporate guarantees, outstanding standby letters of credit, cash security deposits to landlords and surety bonds issued, representing less than 20% of future undiscounted minimum lease cost payment obligations. In addition, individual property lease security obligations on any given lease typically decrease over the life of the lease, although we may continue to enter into new leases in the ordinary course of our business.

Capital Expenditures and Tenant Improvement Allowances

Capital expenditures are primarily for the design and build-out of our spaces, and include leasehold improvements, equipment and furniture. Our leases often contain provisions regarding tenant

109

Table of Contents

improvement allowances, which are contractual rights to reimbursements paid by landlords for a portion of the costs we incur in designing and developing our workspaces. Tenant improvement allowances are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements upon lease commencement as our practice and intent is to spend up to or more than the full amount of the tenant improvement allowance that is contractually provided under the terms of the contract.

Over the course of a typical lease with tenant improvement allowances, we incur certain capital expenditures that we expect to be reimbursed by the landlords pursuant to provisions in our leases providing for tenant improvement allowances but for which we have not yet satisfied all conditions for reimbursement and, therefore, the landlords have not been billed at the time of such capital expenditures. Thus, while such receivables are reflected in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements upon lease commencement, the timing of the achievement of the applicable milestones and billing of landlords will impact when reimbursements for tenant improvement allowances will be received, which may impact the timing of our cash flows.

We monitor gross and net capital expenditures, which are primarily associated with our leasehold improvements, to evaluate our liquidity and workstation development efforts. We define net capital expenditures as the gross purchases of property, equipment and capitalized software, as reported in “cash flows from investing activities” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, less cash collected from landlords for tenant improvement allowances. While cash received for tenant improvement allowances is reported as “cash flows from operating activities” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, we consider cash received for tenant improvement allowances to be a reduction against our gross capital expenditures in the calculation of net capital expenditures.

As the payments received from landlords for tenant improvement allowances are generally received after certain project milestones are completed, payments received from landlords presented in the table below are not directly related to the cash outflows reported for the capital expenditures reported.

The table below shows our gross and net capital expenditures for the periods presented:


(Amounts in millions)	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Gross capital expenditures	$	57	$	101	$	116	$	175
Cash collected for tenant improvement allowances	(9)		(30)		(36)		(73)
Net capital expenditures	$	48	$	71	$	80	$	102

Our ability to negotiate lease terms that include significant tenant improvement allowances has been and may continue to be impacted by our expansion into markets where such allowances may be less common. Our capital expenditures have also been and may continue to be impacted by our focus on enterprise members, who generally require more customization than a traditional workspace, resulting in higher build-out costs. However, we expect any increase in build-out costs resulting from expansion of configured solutions for our growing enterprise member base to be offset by increases in committed revenue, as enterprise members often sign membership agreements with longer terms and for a greater number of memberships than our other members. Future decisions to enter into long-term revenue-sharing agreements with building owners, rather than more standard fixed lease arrangements, may also impact future cash inflows relating to tenant improvement allowances and cash outflows relating to capital expenditures.

In the ordinary course of our business, we enter into certain agreements to purchase construction and related contracting services related to the build-outs of our operating locations that are enforceable, legally binding, and that specify all significant terms and the approximate timing of the purchase transaction. Our purchase orders are based on current needs and are fulfilled by the vendors as needed in accordance with our construction schedule. As of June 30, 2023, we have issued approximately $38 million in such outstanding construction commitments. As of June 30, 2023, we also had a total of

110

Table of Contents

$147 million in lease incentive receivables, recorded as a reduction of our long-term lease obligations on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Of the total $147 million lease incentive receivable, $113 million was accrued at the commencement of the respective lease but unbilled as of June 30, 2023.

Summary of Cash Flows

Comparison of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

A summary of our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 is presented in the following table:

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash - End of period		$	239	$	632	$	(393)	(62)	%

Operating Cash Flows

Cash used in operating activities consists primarily of the revenue we generate from our members and the tenant improvement allowances we receive offset by rent, real estate taxes, common area maintenance and other operating costs. In addition, uses of cash from operating activities consist of employee compensation and benefits, professional fees, advertising, office supplies, utilities, cleaning, consumables, and repairs and maintenance related payments as well as member referral fees and various other costs of running our business.

The $5 million decrease in net cash used in operating activities from the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily attributable to the increase in total revenues of $113 million due to the continued recovery from COVID-19. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was also attributed to net savings achieved for the six months ended June 30, 2023 through the continuation of our operational restructuring program and progress towards our efforts to create a more efficient organization which drove a decrease in location operating expenses, pre-opening location operating expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses. Net cash used in operating activities also decreased due to a $30 million decrease in restructuring liability net payments. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was partially offset by $37 million decrease in cash received for operating lease incentives - tenant improvement allowances, $48 million increase in cash paid for interest, and $47 million in distributions from equity method investments for the six months ended June 30, 2022, with no comparable activity for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Included in our cash flow from operating activities was $32 million of cash used by consolidated VIEs for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $77 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

111

Table of Contents

Investing Cash Flows

The $52 million decrease in net cash used in investing activities from the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily due to $59 million decrease in cash paid for purchases of property, equipment and capitalized software. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities also included $18 million in cash proceeds received as distributions from investments and $9 million in cash paid for the acquisition of Common Desk during the six months ended June 30, 2022 with no comparable activity during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Financing Cash Flows

The $186 million increase in net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily due to a $927 million increase in debt proceeds received from the issuances of $500 million of new debt in connection with the 2023 Debt Restructuring Transactions, $300 million Secured Notes, and $470 million Junior LC Tranche in connection with the Sixth Amendment to the Credit Agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the issuance of $350 million Junior LC Tranche during the six months ended June 30, 2022. These increases in debt proceeds were partially offset by $648 million increase in debt repayments, primarily due to the repayment of $300 million Secured Notes in connection with the 2023 Debt Restructuring Transactions and the $350 million repayment of the Junior LC Tranche in connection with the Sixth Amendment to the Credit Agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2023, with no comparable repayment activity occurring during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was also partially offset by $57 million increase in refunds to members' service retainers, net of additions to members' service retainers and an a $31 million increase in debt and equity issuance costs during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Except for certain letters of credit and surety bonds entered into as security under the terms of several of our leases, our unconsolidated investments, and the unrecorded construction and other commitments set forth above, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2023. Our unconsolidated investments are discussed in Note 9 of the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2023, there was $470 million of debt outstanding under the Credit Agreement that bears interest at the Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), with a floor of 0.75%, plus 9.90%. The payments due under the Credit Agreement on the outstanding standby letters of credit and the unused portion represent a fixed 6.00-6.75% of the amount outstanding and 0.50% of the unused amount. The interest rates on the the remaining debt facilities include fixed rates of interest.

Foreign Currency Risk

The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of our consolidated and unconsolidated entities operating in the United States. For our consolidated and unconsolidated entities operating outside of the United States, we generally assign the relevant local currency as the functional currency, as the local currency is generally the principal currency of the economic environment in which the foreign entity primarily generates and expends cash. Our international operating companies typically earn revenue and incur expenses in local currencies that are consistent with the functional currency of the relevant entity, and therefore they are not subject to significant foreign currency risk in their daily operations. However, as exchange rates may fluctuate between periods, revenue and operating expenses, when converted into U.S. dollars, may also fluctuate between periods. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we earned approximately 58% of our revenues from subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. Although we are impacted by the exchange rate movements from a number of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were primarily impacted by fluctuations in the U.S. dollar-British Pound and U.S. dollar-Euro.

We hold cash and cash equivalents in foreign currencies to have funds available for use by our international operations. As of June 30, 2023, we had a balance of over $45 million in cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies. In addition, monetary intercompany transactions that are not of a long-term investment nature may be denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar and/or in a different currency than the respective entity’s functional currency. As a result, we are subject to foreign currency risk and changes in foreign currency exchange rates can impact the foreign currency gain (loss) recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations relating to these monetary intercompany transactions. As of June 30, 2023, in addition to our cash and cash equivalents referenced above, we had $1.9 billion in various other monetary assets and $1.0 billion in various other monetary liabilities that were subject to foreign currency risk. We estimate that a 10% change in the relevant exchange rates would result in a total net change of approximately $102 million in foreign currency gain or loss on these transactions.

Inflation Risk

Inflationary factors such as increases in the cost of raw materials and overhead costs may adversely affect our results of operations. Although a large portion of our operating costs are lease costs that are contractual with fixed escalation clauses, a portion of our costs are subject to inflationary pressures including, capital expenditures, lease costs in certain of our international real estate portfolio, payroll, and other operating costs. Our inflation-linked leases represent less than 20% of our total portfolio and are primarily located in Latin America and Europe. In Latin America, almost all of our membership agreements provide for inflation indexing, thereby functioning as offsets to any inflation-linked adjustments to rent. In addition consumables and utilities, which are the operating expenses most impacted by inflation, represented approximately 4% of direct location operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2023. We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations to date. If our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through higher membership fees or price increases for services. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, except as set forth below.

Our losses and negative cash flows from operating activities raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have incurred net losses of $0.7 billion, $2.3 billion, $4.6 billion, and $3.8 billion, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively, and negative cash flow from operating activities of $0.5 billion, $0.7 billion, $1.9 billion, and $0.9 billion, respectively for the same periods. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $205 million in cash and cash equivalents, including $46 million held at its consolidated VIEs, and $475 million in delayed draw note commitments, resulting in total liquidity of $680 million. We issued $175 million of the Delayed Draw Notes in July 2023. The recent macroeconomic environment has caused higher member churn and weaker demand than contemplated under the Company's business plan. Consequently, membership as of June 30, 2023 was less than planned, resulting in a reduction in projected revenue and cash flows for the twelve-month period included in the going concern evaluation. As a result of our losses and our projected cash needs, which have been impacted by the recent increases in member churn, combined with our current liquidity level, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern over the next 12 months.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon successful execution of our management’s intended plan over the next twelve months to improve the Company’s liquidity and profitability, which includes, without limitation:

•Reducing rent and tenancy expense by taking additional restructuring actions and negotiating more favorable lease terms.

•Increasing revenue by reducing member churn and increasing new sales.

•Controlling expenses and limiting capital expenditures.

•Seeking additional capital through the issuance of debt or equity securities, or the sale of assets.

There can be no assurance that any such measures would be successful. If we are not successful in improving our liquidity position and the profitability of our operations, we may need to consider all strategic alternatives, including restructuring or refinancing our debt, seeking additional debt or equity capital, reducing or delaying our business activities and strategic initiatives, or selling assets, other strategic transactions and/or other measures, including obtaining relief under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In addition, the perception that we may not be able to continue as a going concern may cause members, landlords and others to choose not to do business with us due to concerns about our ability to meet our contractual obligations. If we seek additional financing to fund our operations and there remains substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, our financing sources may be unwilling to provide additional funding to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all. In addition, if we issue in the future audited financial statements with an audit opinion that includes going concern or similar qualifications or exceptions, it could result in, among other things, an event of default under our Credit Agreement and indentures governing our secured notes, unless waived. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this going concern uncertainty. Such adjustments could be material.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

As of the filing of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, there were no unresolved comments from the Staff of the SEC.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Table of Contents

In May 2023, in connection with the consummation of the 2023 Debt Restructuring Transactions, the Company issued (i) 250 million shares of Class A Common Stock to certain holders who participated in the Exchange Offers, (ii) 1.1 billion shares of Class A Common Stock to certain affiliates of SVF II in connection with certain exchanges and (iii) 35 million shares of Class A Common Stock to a third-party investor pursuant to the SPA. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the issuance of the shares of Class A Common Stock in the Exchange Offers and to the affiliates of SVF II. The Company received $40 million of proceeds from the issuance of the shares of Class A Common Stock to the third-party investor pursuant to the SPA and the Company intends to use such proceeds for general corporate purposes.

In addition, in connection with the consummation of the 2023 Debt Restructuring Transactions, the Issuers issued (i) $188 million in aggregate principal amount of New Second Lien Exchangeable Notes and (ii) $270 million in aggregate principal amount of New Third Lien Exchangeable Notes. The offerings of the securities issued in the 2023 Debt Restructuring Transactions have not been registered under the Securities Act and such securities were issued in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) and/or Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. The New Second Lien Exchangeable Notes and the New Third Lien Exchangeable Notes will be exchangeable, subject to certain conditions, into cash, Class A Common Stock of the Company or a combination of cash and Class A Common Stock of the Company, at the Issuers’ election (subject to, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the indentures governing such exchangeable notes). Neither the New Second Lien Exchangeable Notes, the New Third Lien Exchangeable Notes, nor the underlying Class A Common Stock (if exchanges of the such notes are settled through delivery of Class A Common Stock) have been registered under the Securities Act or may be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

The Board determined that each of the New Independent Directors is independent for purposes of the New York Stock Exchange Listing Standards.

In connection with service as a director of the Company, each of New Independent Directors will participate in the Company’s non-employee director compensation program.

On August 2, 2023, Daniel Hurwitz and Vivek Ranadivé each notified the Company of his resignation from the Board effective immediately. In addition, on August 3, 2023, Véronique Laury notified the Company of her resignation from the Board effective immediately. The resignations of Messrs. Hurwitz and Ranadivé and Ms. Laury are the result of a material disagreement regarding Board governance and the Company’s strategic and tactical direction. Mr. Hurwitz served as chair of the Board, as a member and chair of the Audit Committee of the Board (“Audit Committee”) and the Compensation Committee of the Board (“Compensation Committee”), and as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (“N&G Committee”). Mr. Ranadivé served as a member of the Audit Committee and N&G Committee. Ms. Laury served as a member and chair of the N&G Committee, and as a member of the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee.

As a result of these resignations, the Company notified the New York Stock Exchange that, as of August 2, 2023, the Company was no longer in compliance with Sections 303A.04, 303A.05 or 303A.06 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, which require the Company to have a N&G Committee, Compensation Committee and Audit Committee, respectively, composed entirely of independent directors. On the Effective Date, the Company cured these deficiencies by appointing (A) Mr. Aronzon, Mr. Keglevic and Ms. LaPuma to the N&G Committee, with Mr. Aronzon serving as chair, (B) Mr. Aronzon, Mr. Keglevic and Ms. LaPuma to the Compensation Committee, with Mr. Keglevic serving as chair, and (C) Mr. Aronzon, Ms. LaPuma and Mr. Miller to the Audit Committee, with Ms. LaPuma serving as chair.
