WeWork, shortly after warning about its future, seeks to renegotiate nearly all of its leases

  • WeWork is undergoing a process to renegotiate its leases worldwide and exit underperforming locations, as the company tries to stay solvent amid mounting losses and dwindling cash. WeWork's market cap has plummeted from $47 billion to $200 million, and the company had to conduct a reverse stock split to maintain its New York Stock Exchange listing. WeWork's current lease liabilities are too high and out of step with market conditions.
  • WeWork has started engaging with landlords to negotiate favorable terms and plans to reinvest in its strongest assets. The company reported a 3% drop in total physical memberships due to increasing competition, macroeconomic volatility, and softer demand.
  • WeWork, which struggled with heavy debts and poor financial performance, has previously taken steps to save cash, such as exiting locations, cutting jobs, and reducing debt. The company has hired advisers for restructuring efforts.
