” WeWork Goes Public at $9 Billion in SPAC Merger “

WeWork to Receive $1.3 Billion

With the merger, WeWork will receive approximately $1.3 billion, with $483 million of cash from BowX and a fully committed $800 million private placement investment with key investors including Insight Partners, funds managed by Starwood Capital Group, Fidelity Centaurus Capital, and funds and accounts managed by BlackRock

In October 2020, BowX Acquisition Corp had gone public on NASDAQ and raised $420 million.

The merger is expected to be completed by Q3 2021.  The combined company will have approximately $1.9 billion of cash on the balance sheet and total liquidity of $2.4 billion, including a $550 million senior secured notes facility provided by SoftBank Group.

WeWork 

WeWork was co-founded by Adam Neumann in 2010 in New York, United States.  The flexible office space company was later backed by one of the largest and prominent investor in the world, SoftBank Group.  In 2019, the proposed and later aborted IPO had valued WeWork at more than $40 billion.  Shortly after the aborted IPO, co-founder Adam Neumann stepped down as CEO.

Today, WeWork is led by CEO Sandeep Mathrani and WeWork is in 851 locations in 152 cities with more than 1 million workstations worldwide.  In 2020, excluding China, WeWork recorded revenue of $3.2 billion.
