On Wednesday, WeWork CEO published a letter outlining the office-sharing company's strategy for renegotiating "nearly all our leases" in an attempt to remain financially secure. With its stock market capitalization at around $200 million, WeWork revealed a 1-to-40 reverse stock division in mid-August to get their shares trading up above $1 again. Dependent on its unsuccessful attempt at an IPO in 2019, the business of WeWork has been on a downward trend. for WeWork
David Tolley, the interim CEO of WeWork, declared in a public letter Wednesday that the office-sharing business is committed to remaining in operation and is taking action to this end. As Tolley explained, this involves renegotiating virtually all the leases globally and reallocating funds to fortify the most advantageous assets. The enterprise has been in dire straits ever since its attempt to go public failed in 2019, with its market value dropping from $47 billion to only $200 million. To revive the stock price that had slumped to single digits, WeWork had to conduct a 1-for-40 reverse stock split. Due to Covid-19 measures and a sagging economy, WeWork is now obligated to costly leases in buildings that are mostly underutilized. Although it has taken steps to improve the situation, Tolley noted that the majority of its second quarter expenditures are still connected to leases that are not economically sound. As a result, the company is striving for a durable operating model that would allow it to serve its clients for a long time. Cash on hand has plummeted from $625 million in mid-2020 to $205 million in June, necessitating a conclusive decision. TLey concluded his statement by reiterating his conviction that WeWork is here to stay.
