Description of Organization and Business Operations	Note 1. Organization and Business 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 our business, and the then-stockholders of WeWork Companies Inc. became the stockholders of The We Company. Effective October 14, 2020, The We Company changed its legal name to WeWork Inc. WeWork Inc. 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. WeWork Inc., through the WeWork Partnership and WeWork Companies LLC, holds all the assets held by WeWork Companies Inc. prior to the legal entity reorganization and is subject to all the liabilities to which WeWork Companies Inc. was subject prior to the legal entity reorganization. The legal entity reorganization was accounted for as a transfer among entities under common control and the assets and liabilities transferred were recorded based on historical cost and the financial statements are presented as if the transfer occurred at the beginning of the periods presented. WeWork Companies Inc. is the predecessor of WeWork Inc. for financial reporting purposes. Our core global business offering integrates space, community, services and technology in 763 locations around the world as of June 1, 2021. Our membership offerings are designed to accommodate our members’ distinct space needs. We provide our 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 The Company’s operations are headquartered in New York.

(“SoftBank Vision Fund”). In October 2019, and as subsequently amended, the Company entered into an agreement with SBG and SoftBank Vision Fund for additional equity and debt financing, as well as a number of changes to the Company’s corporate governance, including changes to the voting rights associated with certain series of the Company’s capital stock (the “Master Transaction Agreement”). The changes associated with this October 2019 agreement, and 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 with representation on the Company’s Board of Directors. BowX Merger Agreement On March 25, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, BowX Acquisition Corp. (“BowX”), and BowX Merger Subsidiary Corp., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of BowX (“Merger Sub”).

The Merger Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions, including, among others, (i) approval of the Business Combination and related agreements and transactions by the respective stockholders of the Company and BowX, (ii) effectiveness of the proxy statement / registration statement on Form S-4 in the Merger Agreement) on the Company and (ix) customary bringdown of the representations, warranties and covenants of the parties therein. Another condition to the parties’ obligations to consummate the Merger is that as of the Closing the sum of (x) the amount of cash available in the trust account into which substantially all of the proceeds of BowX’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities have been deposited, after deducting the amount required to satisfy BowX’s obligations to its stockholders (if any) that exercise their rights to redeem all or a portion of their BowX Class A Common Stock pursuant to BowX’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws (but prior to payment of any deferred underwriting commissions being held in the trust account and any transaction expenses of BowX, the Company or their affiliates) plus (y) the amount of the PIPE Investment (as defined below) actually received by BowX prior to or substantially concurrently with the Closing, is equal to or greater than $800.0 million. The Merger Agreement contains additional covenants, including, among others, providing for (i) the parties to use reasonable best efforts to conduct their respective businesses in the ordinary course through the Closing, (ii) the parties not to initiate any negotiations or enter into any agreements for certain alternative transactions, (iii) the Company to prepare and deliver to BowX certain unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company, (iv) BowX and the Company jointly to prepare, and BowX to file, a proxy statement / registration statement on Form S-4 The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing (i) by mutual written consent of BowX and the Company, (ii) by the Company or BowX, if certain approvals of the shareholders of BowX are not obtained, (iii) by the Company, if there is an Acquiror Modification in Recommendation (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (iv) by BowX if there is a Company Modification in Recommendation (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (v) by BowX, if certain approvals of the stockholders of the Company are not obtained within certain time periods, or (vi) by either BowX or the Company in certain other circumstances set forth in the Merger Agreement, including (a) if any Governmental Authority (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any final and nonappealable Governmental Order (as defined in the Merger Agreement) that has the effect of making consummation of the Merger illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation of the Merger and (b) in the event of certain uncured breaches by the other party or if the Closing has not occurred on or before October 31, 2021, subject to extension by sixty (60) days in certain circumstances (the “Agreement End Date”). Certain Related Agreements Subscription Agreements On March 25, 2021, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, BowX entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (collectively, the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to, and on the terms and subject to the conditions of which, the PIPE Investors have collectively subscribed for 80,000,000 shares of BowX Class A Common Stock for $10.00 per share, for an aggregate subscription price equal to $800.0 million, (the “PIPE Investment”). The PIPE Investment will be consummated substantially concurrently with the Closing. The Subscription Agreements will terminate with no further force and effect upon the earliest to occur of: (i) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; (ii) the mutual written agreement of the parties to such Subscription Agreement; (iii) if any of the conditions to closing set forth in such Subscription Agreement are not satisfied on or prior to the Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement fail to occur; and (iv) the Agreement End Date. For two key anchor investors, each with an aggregate investment amount of $125.0 million (collectively, the “Key Anchor Investors”), the obligation to close under the Subscription Agreements is further conditioned upon the total investment by the PIPE Investors equaling or exceeding $700.0 million, with such amount including (i) an investment of at least $125.0 million in the aggregate from the other Key Anchor Investor and its affiliates and any investment funds controlled by their affiliates, (ii) an investment of at least $15.0 million from investors identified, cultivated or referred by Bow Capital or otherwise associated with Bow Capital, and (iii) an investment of at least $10.0 million in the aggregate from The Obsidian Master Fund and its affiliates and any investment funds controlled by its affiliates.

The shares of the Company that are subject to the Stockholder Support Agreements represent a majority of the outstanding voting power of the Company’s capital stock (voting as a single class and on an as converted basis) and a majority of outstanding senior preferred stock held by stockholders other than SBG and its affiliates sufficient to approve certain transactions contemplated by the Business Combination for purposes of certain Company charter provisions. Transfer Restrictions and Registration Rights The Merger Agreement contemplates that, at the Closing, BowX, the Company, the Sponsor, the Key Stockholders and certain of their respective affiliates will enter into an amended and restated registration rights Agreement (the Registration Rights Agreement), pursuant to which BowX will agree to register for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, certain shares of BowX Class A Common Stock and other equity securities of BowX that are held by the parties thereto from time to time. In certain circumstances, various parties in the Registration Rights Agreement can collectively demand up to nine underwritten offerings and will be entitled to piggyback registration rights, in each case subject to certain limitations set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

The A&R Senior Secured Note Purchase Agreement will allow the Company to borrow once every 30 days with minimum draws of $50.0 million. The A&R Senior Secured Notes will mature no later than February 12, 2023 or, if earlier, 18 months from the Closing. Warrants Concurrently with and contingent upon the Closing, BowX will issue to SBWW or its designees one or more warrants (collectively, the “First Warrant”) to purchase a number of shares of BowX Class A Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) equal to 47,366,404 multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, subject to the terms set forth therein, at a price per share equal to $0.01 divided by the Exchange Ratio (rounded to the nearest full cent). The First Warrant will expire on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Closing. Although the First Warrant will be issued by BowX, solely for purposes of calculating the Exchange Ratio used in the Business Combination, the First Warrant is treated in the same manner as a hypothetical outstanding warrant to purchase 47,366,404 class A common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.01. Additionally, concurrently with and contingent upon the LC Facility Termination Extension, BowX will issue to SBG or its designees one or more warrants (collectively, the “LC Warrant”) to purchase a number of shares of BowX Class A Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) equal to 14,431,991 multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, subject to the terms set forth therein, at a price per share equal to $0.01 divided by the Exchange Ratio (rounded to the nearest full cent). The LC Warrant would expire on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date of issuance. We Company Partnership Under the partnership agreement for the We Company Partnership, vested WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units (“PIUs”) can, at the election of the holder of the PIUs, be (a) converted into WeWork Partnerships Class B Common Units, or (b) exchanged (along with the corresponding shares of WeWork Class C Common Stock) for (at WeWork’s election) shares of WeWork Class B Common Stock or cash of an equivalent value, assuming that the value of a share of WeWork Class A Common Stock exceeds the per-unit catch-up catch-up catch-up Under the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, following the threshold automatic conversion on February 26, 2021, any newly-issued shares of WeWork Class B Common Stock exchanged from vested PIUs will, immediately after such issuance, automatically convert into shares of WeWork Class A Common Stock. In connection with the Business Combination, the partnership agreement for the WeWork Partnership will be amended at the Closing to implement mechanical changes to reflect the conversion of shares of capital stock of the Company to shares of BowX Class A Common Stock (including the conversion of shares of class C common stock into shares of Class C Common stock of BowX). Specifically, the number of outstanding partnership interests (including all PIUs) will be adjusted to equal the number of shares of the corresponding class of common stock of BowX (which, in the case of the PIUs, is the Class C Common stock of BowX), taking into account the Exchange Ratio in the Merger.

BOWX ACQUISITION CORP [Member]
Description of Organization and Business Operations	Note 1—Description of Organization and Business Operations Organization and General BowX Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on May 19, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination (“Business Combination”) with one or more operating businesses or entities that it has not yet selected. The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company has neither engaged in any operations nor generated revenue to date. The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). As of June 30, 2021, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from May 19, 2020 (inception) through June 30, 2021 had been related to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) described below, and since the offering, the search for a prospective Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenue until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating Sponsor and Financing The Company’s sponsor is BowX Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company of which Vivek Ranadivé, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Co-Chief Co-Chief Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 6,933,333 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to certain of the Company’s initial stockholders and certain funds and accounts managed by subsidiaries of BlackRock, Inc (the “Private Placement Warrants Purchasers”), generating gross proceeds of $10.4 million (Note 4), and incurring offering costs of approximately $8,000. In connection with the consummation of the sale of additional Units pursuant to the underwriter’s over-allotment option on August 13, 2020, the Company sold an additional 840,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Private Placement Warrants Purchasers, generating additional gross proceeds of approximately $1.3 million. Trust Account Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement (including the exercise of the over-allotment option), $483.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement Warrants in the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and held as cash or invested only in U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. Pursuant to stock exchange listing rules, the Company must complete an initial Business Combination with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest earned on the funds that may be released to the Company to pay taxes, none of the funds held in Trust Account will be released until the earliest of: (i) the completion of the Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any of Public Shares to its holders (the “Public Stockholders”) properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend certain provisions of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation prior to an initial Business Combination and (iii) the redemption of 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below). Initial Business Combination The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward completing a Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete a Business Combination. In connection with the proposed transaction with WeWork described below, the Company will seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which Public Stockholders may seek to redeem their Public Shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination or do not vote at all, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes. The Company will complete its Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. However, in no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its Public Shares and the related Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Business Combination. A stockholder will have the right to redeem such holder’s Public Shares for an amount in cash equal to such holder’s pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes. As a result, such common stock has been recorded at redemption amount and classified as temporary equity, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” The amount in the Trust Account was initially $10.00 per Public Share. The Company has 24 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering, or August 7, 2022, to complete its initial Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within this period of time (and stockholders do not approve an amendment to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend this date), it will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable . Proposed Business Combination On March 25, 2021, the Company, BowX Merger Subsidiary Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and WeWork Inc., a Delaware corporation (“WeWork”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other transactions, on the terms and conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub is to merge with and into WeWork (the “First Merger”), with WeWork surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (WeWork, in its capacity as the surviving corporation of the First Merger, is sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”); and as promptly as practicable and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, such Surviving Corporation will be merged with and into BowX Merger Subsidiary II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub II”) and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers” and, collectively with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”), with Merger Sub II being the surviving entity of the Second Merger (Merger Sub II, in its capacity as the surviving entity of the Second Merger, is sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Entity”). In connection with the Closing (as defined herein), BowX intends to change its name to WeWork Inc. (such post-Closing entity, “New WeWork”). As a result of and upon the Closing, among other things, all outstanding shares of WeWork capital stock as of the First Merger (other than shares of WeWork Class C common stock, treasury shares, the dissenting shares and shares of WeWork capital stock reserved in respect of WeWork awards) will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive an aggregate of 655,300,000 shares of New WeWork Class A common stock (at a deemed value of $10.00 per share) representing a pre-transaction “Aggregate Merger Consideration”). An additional 80,000,000 shares of New WeWork Class A common stock will be purchased (at a price of $10.00 per share) at the Closing by certain third-party investors (collectively, the “PIPE Investors”), for a total aggregate purchase price of $800,000,000 (the “PIPE Investment”). The proceeds of the PIPE Investment, together with the amounts remaining in the Company’s trust account will be retained by New WeWork following the Closing. Liquidity and Capital Resources The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $506,000 of cash in its operating account and approximately $2.9 million of working capital deficit. Through June 30, 2021, the Company’s liquidity needs were satisfied through a payment of $25,000 from the Company’s Chairman and Co-Chief Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination. Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19	Note 1 — Description of Organization and Business Operations Organization and General BowX Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on May 19, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination (“Initial Business Combination”) with one or more operating businesses or entities that it has not yet selected (a “target business”). Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company initially intends to focus its search on target businesses in the technology, media and telecommunications industries. The Company has neither engaged in any operations nor generated revenue to date. The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”).

Trust Account Upon the closing of the IPO and the Private Placement (including the exercise of the over-allotment option), $483.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO and Private Placement Warrants in the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and held as cash or invested only in U.S. “government securities,” within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. Pursuant to stock exchange listing rules, the Company must complete an initial Business Combination with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest earned on the funds that may be released to the Company to pay taxes, none of the funds held in Trust Account will be released until the earliest of: (i) the completion of the Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any of Public Shares to its holders (the “Public Stockholders”) properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend certain provisions of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation prior to an initial Business Combination and (iii) the redemption of 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below). Initial Business Combination The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of its IPO, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the IPO are intended to be generally applied toward completing a Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully complete a Business Combination. The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for a Business Combination, will either (i) seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which Public Stockholders may seek to redeem their Public shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination or do not vote at all, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, or (ii) provide the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to sell their shares to the Company by means of a tender offer for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes. Except as required by applicable law, the decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination or will allow stockholders to sell their shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek stockholder approval. If the Company seeks stockholder approval, it will complete its Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. However, in no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 either immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its Public Shares and the related Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Business Combination. If the Company holds a stockholder vote or there is a tender offer for shares in connection with an Initial Business Combination, a stockholder will have the right to redeem such holder’s Public Shares for an amount in cash equal to such holder’s pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its franchise and income taxes. As a result, such common stock has been recorded at redemption amount and classified as temporary equity, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” The amount in the Trust Account was initially $10.00 per Public Share.

Liquidity and Capital Resources As of December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $0.9 million of cash in its operating account and approximately $227,000 of investment income in the Trust Account. Through December 31, 2020, the Company’s liquidity needs were satisfied through a payment of $25,000 from the Company’s Chairman and Co-Chief 5) to the Company to cover for offering costs in connection with the IPO. Subsequent to the consummation of the IPO on August 7, 2020, the liquidity needs have been satisfied through the remaining balance of the Note and advancement of funds of approximately $45,000 from a related party, for total outstanding balance of Note and advances of approximately $195,000, and the net proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account. The Company fully repaid the Note and advances on August 7, 2020. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s officers, directors and initial stockholders may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (see Note 5). As of December 31, 2020, there were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loans. Based on the foregoing, management believes that the Company will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination or one year from this filing. Over this time period, the Company will be using these funds for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Quarterly Presentation and Principles of Consolidation 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, 2021 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, 2021. 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, 2020, included in WeWork Inc.’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2020. 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 The Company operates as a single operating segment. See Note 18 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, WeCap Manager and WeCap Holdings Partnership (each as defined and discussed in Note 5) are the Company’s only consolidated VIEs as of June 30, 2021. In March 2020, in connection with the sale of the property held by the 424 Fifth Venture (the “424 Fifth Venture Transaction”), redemption payments were made to the noncontrolling interest holders in the 424 Fifth Venture and the 424 Fifth Venture became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and is no longer a VIE. In April 2020, in connection with the SoftBank Transactions, the Company completed the acquisition of the noncontrolling interest in PacificCo (as defined in Note 5) and PacificCo became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and is no longer a VIE. In September 2020, the Company transferred its variable interest and control over the Creator Fund to an affiliate of SBG and the Creator Fund was deconsolidated from the Company’s financial statements. In October 2020, the Company restructured its ownership interests in ChinaCo (as defined in Note 5) such that the Company is no longer the primary beneficiary of ChinaCo and as a result, beginning on October 2, 2020, ChinaCo was deconsolidated (the “ChinaCo Deconsolidation”) and the Company’s remaining ordinary share investment represents an unconsolidated VIE that is accounted for as an equity method investment. See Note 5 for further discussion of these transactions. See Note 6 for discussion of the Company’s non-consolidated A noncontrolling interest in a consolidated subsidiary represents the portion of the equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. Noncontrolling interests are presented as a separate component of equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the presentation of net income in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, is modified to present earnings and other comprehensive income attributed to controlling and noncontrolling interests. The Company’s convertible preferred stock and noncontrolling interests that are redeemable upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the Company are classified outside of permanent equity. As it is not probable that amounts will become redeemable, no remeasurement is required. The Company will continue to monitor the probability of redemption. The Company’s noncontrolling interests that have redemption features within the Company’s control are classified within permanent equity and are described further below. The redemption value of the WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units (as discussed in Note 14) that were awarded to management are measured based upon the aggregate redemption value and takes into account the proportion of employee services rendered under the WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units vesting provisions. The redemption value will vary from period to period based upon the fair value of the Company, whereby the intrinsic value (per-unit per-unit paid-in-capital. The Company’s other noncontrolling interests represent substantive profit-sharing arrangements and profits and losses are attributed to the controlling and noncontrolling interests using the hypothetical-liquidation-at-book-value Use of Estimates Estimates inherent in the current financial reporting process inevitably involve assumptions about future events. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Since December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, referred to as the COVID-19 COVID-19 stay-at-home COVID-19 Our liquidity forecasts are based upon continued execution of the Company’s operational restructuring program and also includes management’s best estimate of the impact that the outbreak of COVID-19, COVID-19 COVID-19, Restricted Cash Allowance for Doubtful Accounts No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments 2016-13”) Receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded as a reduction of bad debt expense when received. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company recorded $99.7 million and $107.8 million, respectively, as an allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable and accrued revenue. Income Taxes 740-270, Income Taxes — Interim Reporting, pre-tax The Company analyzed its various tax positions and did not identify any material uncertain tax positions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The Company files U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign income tax returns. Depending on the statute of limitation of the specific jurisdictions in which we operate, three to ten years of the Company’s income tax returns remain subject to examination. Globally, the Company is involved in various tax matters, and various annual filings in certain jurisdictions are under examination. Stock Based Compensation non-employees non-employee The Company generally estimates the fair value of stock option awards granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula (the “Black-Scholes Model”) and a single option award approach. This model requires various significant judgmental assumptions in order to derive a final fair value determination for each type of award, including the expected term, expected volatility, expected dividend yield, risk-free interest rate, and fair value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The expected option term for options granted is calculated using the “simplified method.” This election was made based on the lack of sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term. The simplified method defines the expected term as the average of the contractual term and the vesting period. Estimated volatility is based on similar entities whose stock prices are publicly traded. The Company uses the historical volatilities of similar entities due to the lack of sufficient historical data for the Company’s common stock price. Dividend yields are based on the Company’s history and expected future actions. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the stock option award was granted with a maturity equal to the expected term of the stock option award. All grants of stock options generally have an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. In situations where the exercise price of a stock option is greater than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, the Company estimates the fair value of stock option awards granted using the binomial model. The binomial model incorporates assumptions regarding anticipated employee exercise behavior, expected stock price volatility, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate. Anticipated employee exercise behavior and expected post-vesting cancellations over the contractual term used in the binomial model are primarily based on historical exercise patterns. These historical exercise patterns indicate that exercise behavior between employee groups is not significantly different. For our expected stock price volatility assumption, the Company weights historical volatility and implied volatility and uses daily observations for historical volatility, while our implied volatility assumptions are based on actively traded options related to our common stock. The expected term is derived from the binomial model, based on assumptions incorporated into the binomial model as described above. The Company estimated the fair value of the WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units awards in connection with the modification of the original stock options using the Hull-White model and a binomial lattice model in order to apply appropriate weight and consideration of the associated distribution threshold and catch-up Because the Company is privately held and there is no public market for our stock, the fair value of the Company’s equity is approved by the Company’s Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee thereof as of the date stock-based awards are granted. In estimating the fair value of our stock, the Company uses a third-party valuation specialist and considers factors it believes are material to the valuation process, including but not limited to, the price at which recent equity was issued by the Company to independent third parties or transacted between third parties, actual and projected financial results, risks, prospects, economic and market conditions, and estimates of weighted average cost of capital. The Company believes the combination of these factors provides an appropriate estimate of the expected fair value of the Company and reflects the best estimate of the fair value of the Company’s common stock at each grant date. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures of stock-based compensation awards as they occur. For awards subject to performance conditions, no compensation cost will be recognized before the performance condition is probable of being achieved. Recognition of any compensation expense relating to stock grants that vest contingent on an initial public offering or “Acquisition” (as defined in the 2015 Plan detailed in Note 14) will be deferred until consummation of such initial public offering or Acquisition. Fair Value Measurements non-financial available-for-sale Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining fair value measurements for assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company assumes the highest and best use of non-financial Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 See Note 11 for additional discussion on the Company’s fair value measurements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Principles of 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, WeCap Manager and WeCap Holdings Partnership (each as defined and discussed in Note 6) are the Company’s only consolidated VIEs as of December 31, 2020. In March 2020, in connection with the sale of the property held by the 424 Fifth Venture (the “424 Fifth Venture Transaction”), redemption payments were made to the noncontrolling interest holders in the 424 Fifth Venture and the 424 Fifth Venture became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and is no longer a VIE. In April 2020, in connection with the SoftBank Transactions, the Company completed the acquisition of the noncontrolling interest in PacificCo (as defined in Note 6) and PacificCo became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and is no longer a VIE. In September 2020, the Company transferred its variable interest and control over the Creator Fund (as defined in Note 6) to an affiliate of SBG and the Creator Fund was deconsolidated from the Company’s financial statements. In October 2020, the Company restructured its ownership interests in ChinaCo (as defined in Note 6) such that the Company is no longer the primary beneficiary of ChinaCo and as a result, beginning on October 2, 2020, ChinaCo was deconsolidated (the “ChinaCo Deconsolidation”) and the Company’s remaining ordinary share investment represents an unconsolidated VIE that is accounted for as an equity method investment. See Note 6 for further discussion of these transactions. See Note 11 for discussion of the Company’s non-consolidated A noncontrolling interest in a consolidated subsidiary represents the portion of the equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. Noncontrolling interests are presented as a separate component of equity in the consolidated balance sheets and the presentation of net income in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, is modified to present earnings and other comprehensive income attributed to controlling and noncontrolling interests. The Company’s convertible preferred stock and noncontrolling interests that are redeemable upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the Company are classified outside of permanent equity. As it is not probable that amounts will become redeemable, no remeasurement is required. The Company will continue to monitor the probability of redemption. The Company’s noncontrolling interests that have redemption features within the Company’s control are classified within permanent equity and are described further below. The redemption value of the WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units (as discussed in Note 22) that were awarded to management are measured based upon the aggregate redemption value and takes into account the proportion of employee services rendered under the WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units vesting provisions. The redemption value will vary from period to period based upon the fair value of the Company, whereby the intrinsic value (per-unit fair value of the Company is greater than the per-unit distribution threshold) will be reflected as a noncontrollling interests in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding entry to additional paid-in-capital. The intrinsic value of the WeWork Partnership Profits Interests will be remeasured each period until the WeWork Partnerships Profits Interests are converted to shares. The Company’s other noncontrolling interests represent substantive profit-sharing arrangements and profits and losses are attributed to the controlling and noncontrolling interests using the hypothetical-liquidation-at-book-value Use of Estimates Estimates inherent in the current financial reporting process inevitably involve assumptions about future events. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Since December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, referred to as the COVID-19 COVID-19 stay-at-home COVID-19 Our liquidity forecasts are based upon continued execution of the Company’s operational restructuring program and also includes management’s best estimate of the impact that the outbreak of COVID-19 COVID-19 COVID-19, pre-COVID Cash and Cash Equivalents Restricted Cash Allowance for Doubtful Accounts No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments 2016-13”) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” Receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded as a reduction of bad debt expense when received. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded $107.8 million and $16.7 million, respectively, as an allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable and accrued revenue. Property and Equipment three Business Combinations Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. Goodwill The guidance for goodwill impairment testing begins with an optional qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. The Company is not required to perform a quantitative impairment test unless it is determined, based on the results of the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. The quantitative impairment test is prepared at the reporting unit level. In performing the impairment test, management compares the estimated fair values of the applicable reporting units to their aggregate carrying values, including goodwill. If the carrying amounts of a reporting unit including goodwill were to exceed the fair value of the reporting unit, an impairment loss is recognized within our consolidated statements of operations in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The process of evaluating goodwill for impairment requires judgments and assumptions to be made to determine the fair value of the reporting unit, including discounted cash flow calculations, assumptions market participants would make in valuing each reporting unit and the level of the Company’s own share price. Intangible Assets, net Acquired intangible assets are carried at cost and finite-lived intangible asset are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. We determine the appropriate useful life of our intangible assets by measuring the expected cash flows of acquired assets. The initial estimated useful life of the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets range from one year to ten years. The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset balances for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each year as of October 1, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that the value of goodwill may be impaired. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets right-of-use non-core COVID-19, non-routine non-routine Assets Held for Sale Assets that are classified as held for sale and the related liabilities directly associated with those that will be transferred in that transaction are initially measured at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell and depreciation and amortization expense is no longer recorded. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met. The fair value of assets held for sale less any costs to sell is assessed each reporting period they remain classified as held for sale and any subsequent changes are reported as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the assets, as long as the adjusted carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount of the assets at the time it was initially classified as held for sale. Gains are not recognized on the sale of an asset until the date of sale. During the fourth quarter of 2019, management approved the disposal through sale of certain assets and businesses. As of December 31, 2019, these assets and the liabilities directly associated with those assets that were expected to be transferred in those transactions were reclassified to held for sale on the accompanying balance sheet. These disposal transactions and others that closed during 2020 did not qualify as discontinued operations. As of December 31, 2020 there are no assets classified as held for sale. See Note 8 for further discussion. Deferred Financing Costs Income Taxes The Company has elected to recognize earnings of foreign affiliates that are determined to be global intangible low tax income in the period it arises and do not recognize deferred taxes for basis differences that may reverse in future years. Revenue Recognition Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Revenue Recognition Leases The Company’s primary revenue categories, related performance obligations and associated recognition patterns are as follows: Membership and Service Revenue Membership revenue consists primarily of fees from members, net of discounts for the access to office space provided. The majority of the Company’s membership contracts are accounted for as revenue in accordance with ASC 606 and are recognized over time, evenly on a ratable basis, over the life of the agreement, as services are provided and the performance obligation is satisfied. Certain of the Company’s membership contracts with its members related to “configured” workspaces which meet the definition of operating leases under ASC 842. The Company has elected not to separate non-lease Service revenue consists of additional billings to members for the ancillary services they may access through their memberships in excess of monthly allowances included in membership revenue, commissions earned by the Company on various services and benefits provided to our members and management fee income for services provided to Unconsolidated Locations subject to joint venture or other management arrangements, which as of December 31, 2020 included locations in India (“IndiaCo”) and Greater China (as defined in Note 6 (“ChinaCo”)). Members may elect whether they want to add-on add-on add-on add-on The Company’s individual locations may include a combination of membership contracts for which revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 606 and ASC 842 and the location operating expenses are incurred for the location as a whole and not segregated by individual member spaces and as a result, when evaluating the cost of services for membership and service revenue, both contract types are combined to evaluate the gross profit or performance of an individual location. Other Revenue space-as-a-service. 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 which 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. The Company performs ongoing profitability analyses of its design and build services contracts accounted for using a cost-to-cost catch-up Pre-contract Income generated from sponsorships and ticket sales from WeWork branded events are recognized upon the occurrence of the event. Other revenues are generally recognized over time, on a monthly basis, as the services are performed. Billing terms and conditions generally vary by contract category. Amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals (e.g., upfront, monthly or quarterly) or upon achievement of contractual milestones. For most of our standard memberships which are typically invoiced monthly, our payment terms are immediate. In most cases where timing of revenue recognition significantly differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined that its contracts do not include a significant financing component. The Company elects the financing component practical expedient and does not adjust the promised amount of consideration in contracts where the time between cash collection and performance is less than one year. Members’ Service Retainers non-payment Contract Assets and Receivables Deferred Revenue Assets Recognized from the Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer underlying contract period if the Company expects to recover those costs. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract include only those costs the Company incurs to obtain a contract that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained. The costs associated with significant member referral fees are amortized over the underlying contract period, even if the contract term is less than twelve months. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis. Leasing Arrangements Leases The Company has a significant portfolio of real estate leases entered into in connection with operating its business. The Company also leases certain equipment and has service contracts, including warehouse agreements, where we control identified assets, such as warehouse space, and therefore these arrangements represent embedded leases under ASC 842. The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company has made an accounting policy election to exempt leases with an initial term of 12 months or less from being recognized on the balance sheet. Short-term leases primarily relate to leases of office equipment and are not significant in comparison to the Company’s overall real estate portfolio. Payments related to those leases are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases with initial terms of greater than 12 months, the Company determines its classification as an operating or finance lease. At lease commencement, the Company recognizes a lease obligation and corresponding right-of-use The Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit discount rate. Therefore, management estimates the incremental borrowing rate used to discount the lease payments based on the information available at lease commencement. The Company utilized a model consistent with the credit quality for its outstanding debt instruments to estimate its specific incremental borrowing rates that align with applicable lease terms. Non-cancelable 10-20 right-of-use The Company’s leases may include base rent payments and rent payments that include escalation terms on the amount of base rent which may vary by market with examples including fixed-rent escalations or escalations based on an inflation index or other market adjustments. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate are included in lease payments and are measured using the prevailing index or rate at lease inception or the measurement date. Changes to the index or rate are recognized in the period of change. Most leases require the Company to pay common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other similar costs. Common area maintenance is considered a non-lease non-lease non-lease The Company expends cash for leasehold improvements and to build out and equip its leased locations. Generally, a portion of the cost of leasehold improvements is reimbursed to us by our landlords as a tenant improvement allowance. The Company may also receive a broker commission from the lessor for its role in identifying and negotiating certain of the Company’s leases. The Company recognizes lease incentives receivable relating to tenant improvement allowances and broker commissions receivable for its role in negotiating the Company’s leases, as a reduction of fixed lease payments at the lease commencement date, reducing the initial measurement of the lease obligation and right-of-use The Company also incurs certain costs in connection with obtaining or modifying a lease. Initial direct costs, or incremental costs of a lease that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained, are included in the initial and subsequent measurement of the right-of-use The Company evaluates its right-of-use Operating Lease Cost For leases that qualify as operating leases, the Company recognizes the associated fixed lease cost on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease beginning on the date of initial possession, which is generally when the Company enters the leased premises and begins to make improvements in preparation for its intended use. Cash payments made to landlords reduce the Company’s total lease obligation while the accretion of the lease obligation using the effective interest rate method, increases the liability over time. The difference between the total lease cost expensed on a straight-line basis and the accretion of the lease obligation over time using the effective interest rate method is recognized as a reduction to the lease right-of-use Variable lease cost includes any contingent rent payments based on percentages of revenue or other profitability metrics as defined in the lease, common area maintenance, the Company’s share of real estate taxes, or similar charges that are variable in nature. Variable lease costs are not included as lease payments in the calculation of the lease obligation and are included in variable lease costs as incurred and when probable. All cash payments for lease costs and cash receipts for lease incentives are included within operating activities in the statements of cash flows. Finance Lease Cost right-of-use In the statements of cash flows, cash payments associated with finance leases are allocated between financing cash flows, for the portion related to the reduction of the lease obligation, and operating cash flows for the portion representing interest expense. Lease Modifications/Termination Fees Asset Retirement Obligations Location Operating Expenses Pre-opening Pre-opening Pre-opening operations and all members have been relocated to a new workspace location, prior to management’s decision to enter negotiations to terminate a lease. The primary components of pre-opening Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses also Includes cost of revenue in the amount of $248.8 million, $384.7 million and $164.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, excluding depreciation and amortization of $0.2 million, $14.1 million and $12.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, in connection with our Powered by We on-site space-as-a-service 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 write-off Restructuring and Other Related Costs Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations one-time Stock-Based Compensation non-employees non-employee The Company generally estimates the fair value of stock option awards granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula (the “Black-Scholes Model”) and a single option award approach. This model requires various significant judgmental assumptions in order to derive a final fair value determination for each type of award, including the expected term, expected volatility, expected dividend yield, risk-free interest rate, and fair value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The expected option term for options granted is calculated using the “simplified method”. This election was made based on the lack of sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term. The simplified method defines the expected term as the average of the contractual term and the vesting period. Estimated volatility is based on similar entities whose stock prices are publicly traded. The Company uses the historical volatilities of similar entities due to the lack of sufficient historical data for the Company’s common stock price. Dividend yields are based on the Company’s history and expected future actions. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the stock option award was granted with a maturity equal to the expected term of the stock option award. All grants of stock options generally have an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. In situations where the exercise price of a stock option is greater than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, the Company estimates the fair value of stock option awards granted using the binomial model. The binomial model incorporates assumptions regarding anticipated employee exercise behavior, expected stock price volatility, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate. Anticipated employee exercise behavior and expected post-vesting cancellations over the contractual term used in the binomial model are primarily based on historical exercise patterns. These historical exercise patterns indicate that exercise behavior between employee groups is not significantly different. For our expected stock price volatility assumption, the Company weights historical volatility and implied volatility and uses daily observations for historical volatility, while our implied volatility assumptions are based on actively traded options related to our common stock. The expected term is derived from the binomial model, based on assumptions incorporated into the binomial model as described above. The Company estimated the fair value of the WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units awards in connection with the modification of the original stock options using the Hull-White model and a binomial lattice model in order to apply appropriate weight and consideration of the associated distribution threshold and catch-up Because the Company is privately held and there is no public market for our stock, the fair value of the Company’s equity is approved by the Company’s Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee thereof as of the date stock-based awards are granted. In estimating the fair value of our stock, the Company uses a third-party valuation specialist and considers factors it believes are material to the valuation process, including but not limited to, the price at which recent equity was issued by the Company to independent third parties or transacted between third parties, actual and projected financial results, risks, prospects, economic and market conditions, and estimates of weighted average cost of capital. The Company believes the combination of these factors provides an appropriate estimate of the expected fair value of the Company and reflects the best estimate of the fair value of the Company’s common stock at each grant date. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures of stock-based compensation awards as they occur. For awards subject to performance conditions, no compensation cost will be recognized before the performance condition is probable of being achieved. Recognition of any compensation expense relating to stock grants that vest contingent on an initial public offering or “Acquisition” (as defined in the 2015 Plan detailed in Note 22) will be deferred until consummation of such initial public offering or Acquisition. Equity Method and Other Investments influence over the operations of the investee. When the requirements for consolidation and significant influence are not met, the Company also uses the equity method of accounting to account for investments in limited partnerships and investments in limited liability companies that maintain specific ownership accounts unless the Company’s interest is so minor that the Company has virtually no influence over partnership operating and financial policies. Equity method investments are initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s share of net income or loss and cash contributions and distributions and are included in equity method and other investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method are measured at fair value, with any changes in fair value recognized in net income. For any such investments that do not have readily determinable fair values, the Company elects the measurement alternative to measure the investments at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Equity method investments are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If it is determined that a loss in value of the equity method investment is other than temporary, an impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the carrying amount of an investment over its estimated fair value. Impairment analyses are based on current plans, intended holding periods, and available information at the time the analysis is prepared. Certain of the Company’s investments in convertible notes are designated as available-for-sale When the fair value of an available-for-sale 2016-13 more-likely-than-not more-likely-than-not Foreign Currency which the foreign entity primarily generates and expends cash. The Company remeasures monetary assets and liabilities that are not denominated in the functional currency at exchange rates in effect at the end of each period. Gains and losses from these remeasurements are recognized in foreign currency gain (loss) on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Foreign currency transactions resulted in net gains (losses) of $149.2 million, $29.7 million and $(78.6) million, for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and relate primarily to intercompany transactions that are not of a long-term investment nature. At each balance sheet reporting date, the Company translates the assets and liabilities of its non-U.S. Fair Value Measurements non-financial available-for-sale Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining fair value measurements for assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company assumes the highest and best use of non-financial Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 See Note 16 for additional discussion on the Company’s fair value measurements. Contingent Consideration unobservable inputs, including the discount rate, the price of the Company’s stock, estimated probabilities and timing of achieving specified milestones and the estimated amount of future sales. Contingent consideration liabilities are remeasured to fair value at each subsequent reporting date until the related contingency is resolved. Changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities can result from changes to one or a number of inputs, including discount rates, the probabilities of achieving the milestones, the time required to achieve the milestones and estimated future sales. Significant judgment is employed in determining the appropriateness of these inputs. Changes to the inputs described above could have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations in any given period. Cash paid soon after the close of an acquisition is classified as a cash outflow from investing activities, while cash payments made after that time are classified as cash outflows from either financing or operating activities, depending on whether the amount paid is in excess of the contingent consideration recognized during the measurement period.

BOWX ACQUISITION CORP [Member]
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2021or for any future periods. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10K/A filed with the SEC on May 12, 2021. Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include its wholly-owned subsidiary in connection with the planned merger. All inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Emerging Growth Company As an emerging growth company, the Company may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging Use of Estimates The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution which, at times, may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000, and investments held in Trust Account. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts. The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account is comprised of investments in U.S. Treasury securities with an original maturity of 185 days or less or investments in a money market funds that comprise only U.S. treasury securities money market funds. Investments Held in the Trust Account The Company’s portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account is comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in net gain from investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” approximate the carrying amounts represented in the condensed balance sheets. Fair Value Measurement Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers consist of: • Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets; • Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and • Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Offering Costs Associated with Initial Public Offering Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with warrant liabilities were expensed as incurred, presented as non-operating non-current Derivative Warrant Liabilities The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued shares purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed The Company accounts for its warrants issued in connection with the Private Placement as derivative warrant liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement non-current Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Shares of conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of Class A common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 43,231,098 and 44,911,184 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Net Income (Loss) per Share of Common Stock The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations include a presentation of income (loss) per share of Class A common stock subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class income (loss) per share. Net income per share of Class A common stock, basic and diluted, is calculated by dividing the investment income earned on the Trust Account, net of applicable franchise taxes, by the weighted average number of Class A common stock outstanding for the periods. Net loss per shares of Class B common stock, basic and diluted, is calculated by dividing the net loss, less income attributable to Class A common stock, by the weighted average number of Class B common stock outstanding for the periods. The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement since the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive. The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock: For the Three For the Six For the Period from Class A common stock Numerator: Net gain from investments held in Trust Account $ 12,297 $ 59,364 $ — Less: Company’s portion available to be withdrawn to pay taxes (12,297 ) (59,364 ) — Net income attributable to Class A common stock $ — $ — $ — Denominator: Weighted average shares outstanding of Class A common stock , basic and diluted 48,300,000 48,300,000 — Basic and diluted net income per share, Class A common stock $ — $ — $ — Class B common stock Numerator: Net loss $ (11,183,715 ) $ (16,800,861 ) $ (23,465 ) Less: Net income attributable to Class A common stock — — — Net loss attributable to Class B common stock $ (11,183,715 ) $ (16,800,861 ) $ (23,465 ) Denominator: Weighted average shares outstanding of Class B common stock, basic and diluted 12,075,000 12,075,000 10,500,000 Basic and diluted net loss per share, Class B common stock $ (0.93 ) $ (1.39 ) $ (0.00 ) Income Taxes The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification, or FASB ASC, 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.	Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). As described in Note 2 — Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements, the Company’s financial statements for the Affected Periods are restated in this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A Emerging Growth Company As an emerging growth company, the Company may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2020. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution which, at times, may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000, and investments held in Trust Account. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts. The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account as of December 31, 2020 is comprised of investments in U.S. Treasury securities with an original maturity of 185 days or less or investments in a money market funds that comprise only U.S. treasury securities money market funds. Investments Held in the Trust Account The Company’s portfolio of investments held in the Trust Account is comprised of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities, or a combination thereof. The Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheet at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities is included in net gain from investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying statement of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include: • Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets; • Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and • Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As of December 31, 2020, the carrying values of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, franchise tax payable and income tax payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company’s investments held in Trust Account are comprised of investments in U.S. Treasury securities with an original maturity of 185 days or less or investments in a money market funds that comprise only U.S. treasury securities and are recognized at fair value. The fair value of investments held in Trust Account is determined using quoted prices in active markets. Offering Costs Associated with Initial Public Offering Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting fees and other costs incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred, presented as non-operating Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Shares of conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of Class A common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at December 31, 2020, 44,911,184 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheet. Net Loss Per Common Share Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss applicable to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the IPO and Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 23,873,333 shares of Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted earnings per common share is the same as basic earnings per common share for the period presented. The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of income per share for common stock subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of Income Taxes The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification, or FASB ASC, 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes.

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements	Note 2 — Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements In April 2021, the Company concluded that, because of a misapplication of the accounting guidance related to its Private Placement warrants the Company issued in August 2020, the Company’s previously issued financial statements for the period from May 19, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2020 and for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 (collectively, the “Affected Periods”) should no longer be relied upon. As such, the Company is restating its financial statements for the Affected Periods included in this Annual Report. On April 12, 2021, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC Staff”) issued a public statement entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “SEC Staff Statement”). In the SEC Staff Statement, the SEC Staff expressed its view that certain terms and conditions common to SPAC warrants may require the warrants to be classified as liabilities on the SPAC’s balance sheet as opposed to equity. Since issuance on August 7, 2020 and August 13, 2020, the Company’s warrants were accounted for as equity within the Company’s previously reported balance sheets, and after discussion and evaluation, management concluded that warrants that were issued to the Company’s sponsor in a private placement that closed concurrently with the closing of the IPO (the “Private Placement Warrants”) should be presented as liabilities with subsequent fair value remeasurement. Historically, the Warrants were reflected as a component of equity as opposed to liabilities on the balance sheets and the statements of operations did not include the subsequent non-cash 815-40, 815-40). 815-40 Therefore, the Company, in consultation with its Audit Committee, concluded that its previously issued Financial Statements for the Affected Periods should be restated because of a misapplication in the guidance around accounting for the Private Placement Warrants should no longer be relied upon.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Consolidated VIEs and Noncontrolling Interests	Note 5. Consolidated VIEs and Noncontrolling Interests ARK/WPI Combination WeWork Capital Advisors LLC (formerly known as “ARK Capital Advisors LLC”, the “WeCap Manager”) is a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company and its controlled affiliates. The WeCap Manager is also owned in part by Rhône Group L.L.C. and its affiliates (other than the WeCap Manager) (“Rhône” and, 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. In August 2019, the Company reorganized its real estate acquisition platform (such platform, following the ARK/WPI combination described herein, and inclusive of the investment vehicles sponsored, co-sponsored, managed, or co-managed Through its 80% equity ownership interest, the Company is entitled to a corresponding share of the income earned by the WeCap Manager, primarily in the form of 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, 2021, the WeCap Manager recognized $3.4 million and $7.0 million, respectively, in management fee income, classified as other revenue as a component of the total revenue on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the WeCap Manager recognized $3.3 million and $7.7 million, respectively, in management fee income. The post-reorganization WeCap Investment Group also includes the Company’s general partner interests in Waller Creek, DSQ, WPI Fund and ARK Master Fund (each as defined in Note 6), which are held through a limited partnership created as part of the ARK/WPI combination (the “WeCap Holdings Partnership”) in which Rhône also participates to the extent provided by the governing documents of 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 and Rhône, 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 Rhône’s interest in the WeCap Holdings Partnership is reflected as a noncontrolling interest in the equity section of the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Primarily because our 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 our 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 6 for additional details regarding the holdings of WeCap Holdings Partnership. 424 Fifth Venture In February 2019, a consolidated subsidiary of the Company (the “424 Fifth Venture”) closed on the acquisition of a $852.8 million real estate investment located in New York City (the “424 Fifth Property”). The acquisition of real estate by the 424 Fifth Venture was accounted for as an asset acquisition and the purchase price was allocated among the assets purchased, including land of $356.5 million and building of $496.3 million. As of December 31, 2019, the real estate was under development and as a result was included within the Company’s construction in progress balance within the property and equipment table detailed in Note 5. Just prior to the redemption of the noncontrolling interest holders in March 2020 described below, the consolidated 424 Fifth Venture was owned 17.2% by the Company, 44.8% by the WPI Fund and 38.0% by another investor. Prior to redemption, the portion of consolidated equity attributable to the interest of the 424 Fifth Venture’s other investors was reflected as noncontrolling interests within the equity section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019. Upon completion of the redemption of the noncontrolling interest holders in March 2020, the 424 Fifth Venture became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company . In March 2020, the 424 Fifth Property was sold by the 424 Fifth Venture to an unrelated third party for a gross purchase price of approximately $978.1 million. Included in the sale was $356.5 million in land and $653.8 million in construction in progress associated with the investment. The $930.2 million in net cash proceeds received at closing were net of closing costs and holdbacks. Of the total consideration, $15.0 million was heldback at closing of which $10.0 million was received as of March 31, 2021. The Company recognized an impairment loss on the assets sold totaling $53.7 million, included in impairment/ (gain on sale) of goodwill, intangibles and other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. The underlying debt facility that secured the 424 Fifth Property since acquisition was extinguished upon the sale (see Note 6 for further details). In March 2020, in connection with the sale of the 424 Fifth Property, the Company also made a payment of $128.0 million to the 424 Fifth Venture and the 424 Fifth Venture made redemption payments to the noncontrolling interest holders totaling $315.0 million including a return of capital of $272.2 million and a return on their capital of $42.8 million. The sale and debt extinguishment also resulted in the termination in March 2020 of the Company’s original development management agreements over the property, its 20 year master lease of the property, its $1.2 billion lease guaranty, various loan guarantees, various loan covenant requirements and various partnership guarantees and indemnities entered into in connection with the original acquisition. Upon the sale of the property, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into an escrow and construction agreement with the buyer for approximately $0.2 billion to finalize the core and shell infrastructure work of the property. These funds were held in escrow upon closing of the sale and are available to pay construction costs, contingencies and cost overruns. The $0.2 billion is expected to be earned by the Company over 12-18 Creator Fund During 2018, the Company launched a fund (the “Creator Fund”) that previously made investments in recipients of WeWork’s “Creator Awards” and other investments through use of a venture capital strategy. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company was the managing member of the Creator Fund. As of September 17, 2020, the Creator Fund had received contributions from SoftBank Group Capital Limited totaling $72.4 million, representing 99.99% of the interest of the Creator Fund. No contributions were received during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. In September 2020, the Company agreed to transfer its rights as managing member and all of its other rights, titles, interests, obligations and commitments in respect of the Creator Fund to an affiliate of SBG. Accordingly, the Company no longer has a variable interest in the Creator Fund and is no longer the primary beneficiary and the Company has deconsolidated the net assets of the Creator Fund and removed the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest from the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020. As substantially all of the net assets of the Creator Fund were previously allocated to the noncontrolling interests, no gain or loss was recognized on deconsolidation of the Creator Fund. In connection with this transaction, the parties also agreed that WeWork would not be required to reimburse SBG for the $21.6 million Creator Awards production services reimbursement obligation payable to an affiliate of SBG as of December 31, 2019, as described in Note 17. As SBG is a principal shareholder of the Company, the forgiveness of this obligation was accounted for as a capital contribution and reclassified from liabilities to additional paid-in-capital ChinaCo During 2017 and 2018, a consolidated subsidiary of the Company (“ChinaCo”) sold to investors $500.0 million of Series A Preferred Stock at a price of $10.00 per share and a liquidation preference of $10.00 per share and $500.0 million of Series B Preferred Stock at a price of $18.319 per share and a liquidation preference of $18.319 per share, respectively. The portion of consolidated equity attributable to ChinaCo’s Series A and B Preferred shareholders were reflected as redeemable noncontrolling interests, within the mezzanine section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, ChinaCo had also issued a total of 45,757,777 Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with an acquisition of naked Hub Holdings Ltd. (“naked Hub”) that occurred during 2018 and an additional 2 million Class A Ordinary Shares to a consultant as described in Note 9. The portion of consolidated equity attributable to ChinaCo’s Class A Ordinary shareholders were reflected as noncontrolling interests, within the equity section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the shareholders’ agreement of ChinaCo, as long as certain investors remain shareholders of ChinaCo, ChinaCo will be the exclusive operator of the Company’s businesses in the “Greater China” territory, defined in the agreement to include China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau. In August 2020, a wholly owned subsidiary of WeWork Inc. made a short-term loan to ChinaCo totaling $25.0 million (the “ChinaCo Loan”). In connection with ChinaCo’s 2018 acquisition of naked Hub, as of December 31, 2019, ChinaCo also had a $191.1 million obligation to reimburse a wholly owned subsidiary of WeWork Inc. for WeWork Inc. shares issued to the sellers of naked Hub (the “Parent Note”). As ChinaCo was consolidated as of December 31, 2019, the Parent Note was eliminated against the Company’s receivables in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In September 2020, the shareholders of ChinaCo and an affiliate of TrustBridge Partners (“TBP”), also an existing shareholder of ChinaCo, executed a restructuring and Series A subscription agreement (the “ChinaCo Agreement”). Pursuant to the ChinaCo Agreement, TBP agreed to subscribe for a new series of ChinaCo shares for $100.0 million in total gross proceeds to ChinaCo, received in connection with the initial investment closing on October 2, 2020 (the “Initial Investment Closing”) and an additional $100.0 million in gross proceeds to ChinaCo, with such additional shares issued and proceeds to be received at the earlier of 1 year following the Initial Investment Closing or such earlier date as determined by the ChinaCo board, to the extent such funds are necessary to support the operations of ChinaCo (the “Second Investment Closing”). The ChinaCo Agreement also included the restructuring of the ownership interests of all other preferred and ordinary shareholders’ interests into new ordinary shares in ChinaCo and the conversion of the $191.1 million Parent Note and certain other net intercompany payables totaling approximately $42.0 million, payable by ChinaCo to various wholly owned subsidiaries of WeWork Inc. into new ordinary shares of ChinaCo such that subsequent to the Initial Investment Closing in October 2020, and as of December 31, 2020, WeWork now holds 21.6% of the total shares issued by ChinaCo. The Company’s remaining interest is scheduled to be diluted down to 19.7% in connection with the Second Investment Closing, assuming no other changes in the ChinaCo equity prior to the Second Investment Closing. As of June 30, 2021, TBP now holds a total of 50.5% of the total shares issued by ChinaCo subsequent to the Initial Investment Closing and is expected to hold 55.0% of the total shares after the Second Investment Closing. TBP’s shares are preferred shares which have a liquidation preference totaling $100.0 million and $200.0 million as of the Initial Investment Closing and the Second Investment Closing, respectively. Upon Initial Investment Closing on October 2, 2020, ChinaCo received the $100.0 million in gross proceeds from TBP and a portion of those proceeds were used to repay WeWork $25.0 million for the ChinaCo Loan. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the ChinaCo Agreement, the rights of the ChinaCo shareholders were also amended such that upon the Initial Investment Closing, WeWork no longer retained the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. As a result, WeWork was no longer the primary beneficiary of ChinaCo and ChinaCo was deconsolidated from the Company’s consolidated financial statements on October 2, 2020 (the “ChinaCo Deconsolidation”). million upon deconsolidation and will be accounted for as an equity method investment as the Company has retained rights that allow it to exercise significant influence over ChinaCo as a related party. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a loss on the ChinaCo Deconsolidation of $153.0 million included in impairment/(gain on sale) of goodwill, intangibles and other assets in the consolidated statement of operations calculated based on the difference between (i) the $26.3 million fair value of the Company’s retained equity method investment in ChinaCo plus the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest in ChinaCo as of the date of deconsolidation, which was in a negative deficit position of $(22.6) million and (ii) the carrying value of ChinaCo’s net assets just prior to deconsolidation of $156.7 million. The remeasurement loss recognized on deconsolidation primarily relates to the remeasurement of our retained equity method investment in ChinaCo, recorded at fair value upon deconsolidation, in comparison to the carrying value of the net intercompany receivables that were converted into equity in ChinaCo in conjunction with the ChinaCo restructuring that ultimately resulted in the deconsolidation. The net assets of ChinaCo that were deconsolidated on October 2, 2020, included a total of $344.3 million of goodwill related to ChinaCo’s 2018 acquisition of naked Hub Holdings Ltd. As this goodwill was integrated into the Company’s single reporting unit, upon deconsolidation of a portion of the reporting unit, the Company’s total goodwill was reallocated among the Company and ChinaCo on a relative fair value basis with $315.6 million of ChinaCo’s goodwill retained by the Company with a corresponding increase to additional-paid-in See Note 17 for details regarding various related party fees payable by ChinaCo to the Company subsequent to the ChinaCo Deconsolidation.

As of December 31, 2018, JapanCo had received contributions totaling $300.0 million and during the year ended December 31, 2019, an additional $100.0 million was received. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement an additional $100.0 million was required to be contributed and was received during the third quarter of 2020. The portion of consolidated equity attributable to the outside investors’ interests in JapanCo are reflected as redeemable noncontrolling interests, within the mezzanine section of the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

See Note 16 for a discussion of additional restrictions on the net assets of WeWork Companies LLC.	Note 6. Consolidated VIEs and Noncontrolling Interests ARK/WPI Combination WeWork Capital Advisors LLC (formerly known as “ARK Capital Advisors LLC”, the “WeCap Manager”) is a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company and its controlled affiliates. The WeCap Manager is also owned in part by Rhône Group L.L.C. and its affiliates (other than the WeCap Manager) (“Rhône” and, 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. In August 2019, the Company reorganized its real estate acquisition platform (such platform, following the ARK/WPI combination described herein, and inclusive of the investment vehicles sponsored, co-sponsored, co-managed Through its 80% equity ownership interest, the Company is entitled to a corresponding share of the income earned by the WeCap Manager, primarily in the form of 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 year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the WeCap Manager recognized $24.9 million and $10.7 million, respectively in management fee income, classified as other revenue as a component of the total revenue on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The post-reorganization WeCap Investment Group also includes the Company’s general partner interests in Waller Creek, DSQ, WPI Fund and ARK Master Fund (each as defined in Note 11), which are held through a limited partnership created as part of the ARK/WPI combination (the “WeCap Holdings Partnership”) in which Rhône also participates to the extent provided by the governing documents of 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 and Rhône, 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 Rhône’s interest in the WeCap Holdings Partnership is reflected as a noncontrolling interest in the equity section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. As of December 31, 2019, there was also a 67% noncontrolling interest in the Company’s investment in WW Caesar Member LLC (“WeWork Waller Creek”), originally issued for total consideration of $6.5 million. During July 2020, the $6.6 million share of the net assets of WeWork Waller Creek attributable to noncontrolling interests was distributed to the noncontrolling interest holders and the Company sold its share of the investment in WeWork Waller Creek for total proceeds of $8.6 million, including a $0.3 million reimbursement of legal fees paid by the Company, and the Company recognized a $5.0 million gain on the sale of its investment included within income (loss) from equity method and other investments on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. Primarily because our 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 our 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 11 for additional details regarding the holdings of WeCap Holdings Partnership. 424 Fifth Venture In February 2019, a consolidated subsidiary of the Company (the “424 Fifth Venture”) closed on the acquisition of a $852.8 million real estate investment located in New York City (the “424 Fifth Property”). The acquisition of real estate by the 424 Fifth Venture was accounted for as an asset acquisition and the purchase price was allocated among the assets purchased, including land of $356.5 million and building of $496.3 million. As of December 31, 2019, the real estate was under development and as a result was included within the Company’s construction in progress balance within the property and equipment table detailed in Note 5. Just prior to the redemption of the noncontrolling interest holders in March 2020 described below, the consolidated 424 Fifth Venture was owned 17.2% by the Company, 44.8% by the WPI Fund and 38.0% by another investor. Prior to redemption, the portion of consolidated equity attributable to the interest of the 424 Fifth Venture’s other investors was reflected as noncontrolling interests within the equity section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019. Upon completion of the redemption of the noncontrolling interest holders in March 2020, the 424 Fifth Venture became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In March 2020, the 424 Fifth Property was sold by the 424 Fifth Venture to an unrelated third party for a gross purchase price of approximately $978.1 million. Included in the sale was $356.5 million in land and $653.8 million in construction in progress associated with the investment. The $930.2 million in net cash proceeds received at closing were net of closing costs and holdbacks. The Company recognized an impairment loss on the assets sold totaling $53.7 million, included in impairment/(gain on sale) of goodwill, intangibles and other assets on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2020. The underlying debt facility that secured the 424 Fifth Property since acquisition was extinguished upon the sale (see Note 15 for further details). In March 2020, in connection with the sale of the 424 Fifth Property, the Company also made a payment of $128.0 million to the 424 Fifth Venture and the 424 Fifth Venture made redemption payments to the noncontrolling interest holders totaling $315.0 million including a return of capital of $272.2 million and a return on their capital of $42.8 million. The sale and debt extinguishment also resulted in the termination in March 2020 of the Company’s original development management agreements over the property, its 20 year master lease of the property, its $1.2 billion lease guaranty, various loan guarantees, various loan covenant requirements and various partnership guarantees and indemnities entered into in connection with the original acquisition. Upon the sale of the property, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into an escrow and construction agreement with the buyer for approximately $0.2 billion to finalize the core and shell infrastructure work of the property. These funds were held in escrow upon closing of the sale and are available to pay construction costs, contingencies and cost overruns. The $0.2 billion is expected to be earned by the Company over 12-18 Creator Fund During 2018, the Company launched a fund (the “Creator Fund”) that previously made investments in recipients of WeWork’s “Creator Awards” and other investments through use of a venture capital strategy. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company was the managing member of the Creator Fund. As of September 17, 2020, the Creator Fund had received contributions from SoftBank Group Capital Limited totaling $72.4 million, representing 99.99% of the interest of the Creator Fund, including $0.2 million and $27.4 million received during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The portion of consolidated equity attributable to the interest of the Creator Fund’s investors in the Creator Fund is reflected as noncontrolling interests, within the equity section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019. In September 2020, the Company agreed to transfer its rights as managing member and all of its other rights, titles, interests, obligations and commitments in respect of the Creator Fund to an affiliate of SBG. Accordingly, the Company no longer has a variable interest in the Creator Fund and is no longer the primary beneficiary and the Company has deconsolidated the net assets of the Creator Fund and removed the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest from the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020. As substantially all of the net assets of the Creator Fund were previously allocated to the noncontrolling interests, no gain or loss was recognized on deconsolidation of the Creator Fund. In connection with this transaction, the parties also agreed that WeWork would not be required to reimburse SBG for the $21.6 million Creator Awards production services reimbursement obligation payable to an affiliate of SBG as of December 31, 2019 as described in Note 25. As SBG is a principal shareholder of the Company, the forgiveness of this obligation was accounted for as a capital contribution and reclassified from liabilities to additional paid-in-capital ChinaCo During 2017 and 2018, a consolidated subsidiary of the Company (“ChinaCo”) sold to investors $500.0 million of Series A Preferred Stock at a price of $10.00 per share and a liquidation preference of $10.00 per share and $500.0 million of Series B Preferred Stock at a price of $18.319 per share and a liquidation preference of $18.319 per share, respectively. The portion of consolidated equity attributable to ChinaCo’s Series A and B Preferred shareholders were reflected as redeemable noncontrolling interests, within the mezzanine section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, ChinaCo had also issued a total of 45,757,777 Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with an acquisition of naked Hub Holdings Ltd. (“naked Hub”) that occurred during 2018 and an additional 2 million Class A Ordinary Shares to a consultant as described in Note 24. The portion of consolidated equity attributable to ChinaCo’s Class A Ordinary shareholders were reflected as noncontrolling interests, within the equity section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the shareholders’ agreement of ChinaCo, as long as certain investors remain shareholders of ChinaCo, ChinaCo will be the exclusive operator of the Company’s businesses in the “Greater China” territory, defined in the agreement to include China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau. In August 2020, a wholly owned subsidiary of WeWork Inc. made a short-term loan to ChinaCo totaling $25.0 million (the “ChinaCo Loan”). In connection with ChinaCo’s 2018 acquisition of naked Hub, as of December 31, 2019, ChinaCo also had a $191.1 million obligation to reimburse a wholly owned subsidiary of WeWork Inc. for WeWork Inc. shares issued to the sellers of naked Hub (the “Parent Note”). As ChinaCo was consolidated as of December 31, 2019, the Parent Note was eliminated against the Company’s receivables in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In September 2020, the shareholders of ChinaCo and an affiliate of Trustbridge Partners (“TBP”), also an existing shareholder of ChinaCo, executed a restructuring and Series A subscription agreement (the “ChinaCo Agreement”). Pursuant to the ChinaCo Agreement, TBP agreed to subscribe for a new series of ChinaCo shares for $100.0 million in total gross proceeds to ChinaCo, received in connection with the initial investment closing on October 2, 2020 (the “Initial Investment Closing”) and an additional $100.0 million in gross proceeds to ChinaCo, with such additional shares issued Upon Initial Investment Closing on October 2, 2020, ChinaCo received the $100.0 million in gross proceeds from TBP and a portion of those proceeds were used to repay WeWork $25.0 million for the ChinaCo Loan. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the ChinaCo Agreement, the rights of the ChinaCo shareholders were also amended such that upon the Initial Investment Closing, WeWork no longer retained the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. As a result, WeWork was no longer the primary beneficiary of ChinaCo and ChinaCo was deconsolidated from the Company’s consolidated financial statements on October 2, 2020 (the “ChinaCo Deconsolidation”). The Company’s remaining 21.6% ordinary share investment was valued at $26.3 million upon deconsolidation and will be accounted for as an equity method investment as the Company has retained rights that allow it to exercise significant influence over ChinaCo as a related party. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a loss on the ChinaCo Deconsolidation of $153.0 million included in impairment/(gain on sale) of goodwill, intangibles and other assets in the consolidated statement of operations calculated based on the difference between (i) the $26.3 million fair value of the Company’s retained equity method investment in ChinaCo plus the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest in ChinaCo as of the date of deconsolidation, which was in a negative deficit position of ($22.6) million and (ii) the carrying value of ChinaCo’s net assets just prior to deconsolidation of $156.7 million. The remeasurement loss recognized on deconsolidation primarily relates to the remeasurement of our retained equity method investment in ChinaCo, recorded at fair value upon deconsolidation, in comparison to the carrying value of the net intercompany receivables that were converted into equity in ChinaCo in conjunction with the ChinaCo restructuring that ultimately resulted in the deconsolidation. The net assets of ChinaCo that were deconsolidated on October 2, 2020, included a total of $344.3 million of goodwill related to ChinaCo’s 2018 acquisition of naked Hub Holdings Ltd. As this goodwill was integrated into the Company’s single reporting unit, upon deconsolidation of a portion of the reporting unit, the Company’s total goodwill was reallocated among the Company and ChinaCo on a relative fair value basis with $315.6 million of ChinaCo’s goodwill retained by the Company with a corresponding increase to additional-paid-in See Note 25 for details regarding various related party fees payable by ChinaCo to the Company subsequent to the ChinaCo Deconsolidation. ChinaCo contributed the following to the Company’s consolidated results of operations prior to its deconsolidation on October 2, 2020, in each case excluding amounts that eliminate in consolidation: Year Ended December 31, (Amounts in thousands) 2020 2019 2018 Revenue $ 206,261 $ 228,537 $ 99,529 Location operating expenses 266,318 290,254 116,173 Restructuring and other related costs (18,660 ) 6,684 — Impairments/(gain on sale) of goodwill, intangibles and other assets 450,312 — — Depreciation and amortization 39,208 42,257 20,584 Total Expenses 819,527 496,113 341,237 Pre-tax (598,727 ) (266,230 ) (243,508 ) Net loss (609,820 ) (274,019 ) (244,613 ) Net loss attributable to WeWork Inc. (62,997 ) 39,072 (48,569 ) 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% membership interest in JapanCo for an aggregate contribution of $500.0 million which will be funded over a period of time. As of December 31, 2018, JapanCo had received contributions totaling $300.0 million and during the year ended December 31, 2019, an additional $100.0 million was received. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement an additional $100.0 million was required to be contributed and was received during the third quarter of 2020. The portion of consolidated equity attributable to the outside investors’ interests in JapanCo are reflected as redeemable noncontrolling interests, within the mezzanine section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. As long as the investors remain shareholders of JapanCo, JapanCo will be the exclusive operator of the Company’s WeWork branded space-as-a-service PacificCo During 2017, a consolidated subsidiary of the Company (“PacificCo”) sold $500.0 million of Series A-1 The initial closing occurred on October 30, 2017 and all of the PacificCo Series A-1 100.0 Roll-up In October 2019, in connection with the SoftBank Transactions, the Company, SBG and SoftBank Vision Fund agreed to use reasonable best efforts to negotiate and finalize the final forms for the exchange of all interests held by affiliates of SBG in PacificCo for 34,482,759 shares of the Company’s Series H-1 H-2 Roll-up”).

As of December 31, 2019, the 424 Fifth Venture, PacificCo, ChinaCo, WeWork Waller Creek and the Creator Fund were also 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 our consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of comprehensive loss, respectively.

Commencing ninety days after the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants: • in whole and not in part; • at $0.10 per Warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares of Class A common stock to be determined by reference to an agreed table based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of the Company’s Class A common stock; • if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders; • if, and only if, the Private Placement Warrants are also concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding Public Warrants, as described above; and • if, and only if, there is an effective registration statement covering the issuance of the shares of Class A common stock (or a security other than the Class A common stock into which the Class A common stock has been converted or exchanged for in the event the Company is not the surviving company in the initial Business Combination) issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating thereto available throughout the 30-day The “fair market value” of the Class A common stock for this purpose shall mean the average last reported sale price of the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Warrants. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any Warrant. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such Warrants. Accordingly, the Warrants may expire worthless. The Public Warrants are accounted for as equity and the Private Placement warrants are accounted for as liabilities on the balance sheet.

In addition, as Managed by Q had not been fully integrated into the Company’s reporting unit during the third quarter of 2019, this also triggered a quantitative fair value assessment of the associated asset group, including the Managed by Q goodwill.

On August 10, 2020, the underwriter fully exercised the over-allotment option and the Company consummated the sale of Units pursuant to the over-allotment option on August 13, 2020; thus, these 1,575,000 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

The SoftBank Senior Unsecured Notes have a stated interest rate of 5.0%. However because the associated warrants obligate the Company to issue shares in the future, the implied interest rate upon closing, assuming the full commitment is drawn, was approximately 11.69%. The SoftBank Senior Unsecured Notes will mature in July 2025. SoftBank Debt Financing Costs due to SBG The warrants issued to SoftBank Obligor in December 2019 to purchase 86,591,946 shares of the Company’s Series H-3 H-4 H-3 H-4 The SoftBank Senior Unsecured Notes Warrant of $568.9 million was capitalized at issuance as a deferred financing cost and included, net of accumulated amortization, as a component of other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of both December 31, 2020 and 2019. This asset will be amortized into interest expense over the five year life of the SoftBank Senior Unsecured Notes. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded $79.9 million of interest expense associated with the amortization of this deferred financing cost. The warrants issued to SoftBank Obligor in December 2019 to purchase 43,295,973 shares of the Company’s Series H-3 H-4 H-3 H-4 The 2020 LC Facility Warrant of $284.4 million was capitalized at issuance as a deferred financing cost and included, net of accumulated amortization, as a component of other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. This asset will be amortized into interest expense from February 10, 2020 through the February 10, 2023 termination date of the 2020 LC Facility. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded $84.1 million of interest expense associated with the amortization of this deferred financing cost. Other than customary adjustments for recapitalizations and other reorganizations, the warrants associated with the SoftBank Senior Unsecured Notes Warrant and the 2020 LC Facility Warrant, (collectively the “Penny Warrants” or the “SoftBank Debt Financing Warrant Liability”) were subject to anti-dilution protection for any increase in the Company’s capital stock prior to December 27, 2020, as a result SoftBank Obligor was entitled to an additional 6,121,239 number of warrants that were also outstanding as of December 31, 2020. The Penny Warrants became exercisable on April 1, 2020 and expire on December 27, 2024. The Company recorded an ASC 480 liability representing the fair value of the Penny Warrants. The measurement of the Penny Warrants is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement, as it was determined using observable and unobservable inputs. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019 the SoftBank Debt Financing Warrant Liability totaled $418.9 million and $853.3 million, respectively and was included as a component of the convertible related party liabilities, net on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. 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 $50.0 million of which $35.5 million was paid during the year ended December 31, 2020 and the remaining $14.5 million was included as a component of accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020. The Company allocated $20.0 million of the total costs as deferred financing costs included net of accumulated amortization within other assets on the consolidated balance sheet which will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the debt facility to which it was allocated. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded $3.7 million of interest expense associated with the amortization of these deferred financing costs and wrote-off H-1 SoftBank Debt Financing Costs due to Third Parties As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively the Company had capitalized a total of $5.4 million and $5.2 million, respectively in net debt issuance costs paid or payable to third parties associated with the SoftBank Debt Financing which will be amortized over a three Convertible Note Under the original terms of the Convertible Note, interest was scheduled to begin accruing on September 1, 2019, at a rate of 2.80%, compounded annually, and required repayment upon maturity on February 12, 2024, unless converted earlier. If not earlier converted or repaid in connection with a qualifying initial public offering as defined or the sale of the Company, all of the outstanding principal and interest due under the original terms of the Convertible Note would have converted into preferred stock of the Company upon a preferred stock financing providing to the Company gross proceeds of at least $2.0 billion (including the value of the Convertible Note). In 2019, the Company and SBWW agreed to modify certain provisions of the Convertible Note. As the Convertible Note was payable to a principal stockholder, the Company recognized the change in fair value of the Convertible Note before and after modification, as an increase to additional paid in capital in the amount of $236.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2019. As the Convertible Note included an interest-free period and the interest rate was also below the market effective rate for a similar borrowing, an original issue discount of $170.0 million was recorded upon the initial draw in August 2018 and an original issue discount of $286.8 million was recorded upon the modification in January 2019, each based on the fair value of the Convertible Note on the relevant date. As the borrowing at a discount was provided by a principal stockholder, the original discount of $170.0 million and the $116.9 million incremental increase in value of the discount upon amendment were both treated as capital contributions and included in additional paid in capital during 2018 and 2019, respectively. In addition, the Company recognized $119.5 million of additional capital contributions during the year ended December 31, 2019, relating to a change in fair value upon amendment of the terms of the Convertible Note. The Company estimated the fair values of the Convertible Note using a probability-weighted valuation scenario model. The Convertible Note’s original and amended terms also contained embedded redemption features that are required to be bifurcated and separately accounted for as derivatives. These embedded features were accounted for together as a single compound derivative. The Company estimated the fair value of the compound derivative at inception, upon amendment and at each reporting period, by comparing the value of the Convertible Note to a similar note without redemption features, the difference between the two values representing the value of the bifurcated redemption features. The bifurcation of the embedded redemption features represented a value of $178.8 million at the date of issuance and $25.3 million upon the subsequent amendment. As of June 30, 2019, the embedded redemption derivative had a fair value of zero as the probability of the redemption became remote upon the draw of the Amended 2018 Warrant discussed below. The embedded redemption derivative was accounted for in the same manner as a freestanding derivative pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging Prior to conversion, the fair value measurements of the debt discount and the embedded redemption features were considered to be Level 3 fair value measurements in the fair value hierarchy as per ASC 820 , Fair Value Measurements In July 2019, the Amended 2018 Warrant was exercised, as further discussed below, which also triggered the conversion of the $1.0 billion principal amount of the Convertible Note into 9,090,909 shares of Series G-1 G-1 During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded interest expense of $36.4 million, which represents the imputed interest on the Convertible Note at an effective interest rate of 10% and also recorded a reduction of interest expense of $1.7 million which represents the decline in the fair value of the embedded redemption derivative liability from January 1, 2019 through the January 2019 amendment and a reduction of interest expense of $25.3 million which represents the decline in the fair value of the embedded redemption derivative liability from the January 2019 amendment through December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded imputed interest expense on the Convertible Note totaling $22.4 million and interest expense totaling $97.6 million related to the change in fair value of the embedded redemption feature. Amended 2018 Warrant off-setting paid-in In January 2019 and April 2019 the Company drew down on the Amended 2018 Warrant and received $1.5 billion and $1.0 billion in cash, respectively. Upon the draws, during the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company removed $68.8 million of the equity asset that was established upon entering into the arrangement in November 2018 from its consolidated balance sheet. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded a gain totaling $456.6 million, resulting from an increase in fair value of the related party instrument. The Amended 2018 Warrant was classified as a liability in accordance with ASC 480 , Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity , In July 2019, immediately prior to the legal entity reorganization transactions discussed in Note 1, the early exercise provision was triggered and the outstanding Amended 2018 Warrant was exercised for the issuance of 22,727,273 shares of Series G-1 G-1

Upon the occurrence of certain change of control triggering events, the Company may be required to repurchase the Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date of repurchase. The Senior Notes contain certain restrictive covenants that limit the Company’s ability to create certain liens, to enter into certain affiliated transactions and to consolidate or merge with, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets, subject to important qualifications and exceptions. The Senior Notes (i) rank equally in right of payment with the SoftBank Senior Unsecured Notes, any payment obligations under the 2020 LC Facility and any existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company, (ii) are senior in right of payment to any existing and future subordinated obligations of the Company, and (iii) are effectively subordinated to all secured indebtedness of the Company (including obligations under the 2020 LC Facility discussed in Note 16) to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness, and are structurally subordinated to all liabilities of any subsidiary that does not guarantee the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by each of our subsidiaries that guarantees obligations under the Company’s 2020 LC Facility or certain other indebtedness of the Company as a guarantor. As of June 30, 2021, each restricted subsidiary that guaranteed obligations under the 2020 LC Facility discussed in Note 16 also guaranteed the Senior Notes. Subsequent to the July 2019 legal entity reorganization, WeWork Companies LLC is the obligor of its Senior Notes, which is also fully and unconditionally guaranteed by WeWork Inc. WeWork Inc. and the other subsidiaries that sit above WeWork Companies LLC in our legal structure are holding companies that conduct substantially all of their business operations through WeWork Companies LLC. As of June 30, 2021, based on the covenants and other restrictions of the Senior 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. See the Supplementary Information — Consolidating Balance Sheet, The indenture that governs the Senior Notes also restricts us from incurring indebtedness or liens or making certain investments or distributions, subject to a number of exceptions. Certain of these exceptions included in the indenture that governs our Senior Notes are subject to us having Minimum Liquidity (as defined in the indenture that governs our Senior Notes). For incurrences in 2019, Minimum Liquidity was required to be 0.7 times Total Indebtedness (as defined in the indenture that governs our Senior Notes) and for incurrences in 2020, Minimum Liquidity was required to be 0.3 times Total Indebtedness. Beginning on January 1, 2021, there is no longer a Minimum Liquidity requirement. Certain of these exceptions included in the indenture that governs our Senior Notes are subject to us having Minimum Growth-Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the indenture that governs our Senior Notes) for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters. For incurrences in fiscal years ending December 31, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022-2025, the Minimum Growth-Adjusted EBITDA required for the immediately preceding four consecutive fiscal quarters is $200.0 million, $500.0 million, $1.0 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively.

Income Taxes		Note 19. Income Taxes UP-C On July 15, 2019, after a corporate restructure, WeWork Inc. is the sole owner of The We Company MC LLC (the “We Company MC”), a wholly owned disregarded entity, which is the general partner and holder of effectively 100% of the economic and control interest in the We Company Management Holdings L.P. Additionally, Teem Holdings Inc., Euclid WW Holdings Inc., Meetup Holdings Inc., and The We Company Management LLC, indirectly or directly became wholly owned subsidiaries of the We Company MC and limited partners of the WeWork Partnership along with various holders of WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units. As a partnership, the WeWork Partnership is generally not subject to U.S. federal and most state and local income taxes, however, the WeWork Partnership, through its 100% ownership of the equity in WeWork Companies LLC, is subject to withholding taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions.

(2) Certain 2019 lines have been reclassified to align with the 2020 presentation with no impact to the Net deferred tax assets (liabilities). We evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets and establish a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset may not be realized. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets in most jurisdictions, however in certain jurisdictions, the Company did not record a valuation allowance where the Company had profitable operations, or the Company recorded only a partial valuation allowance due to the existence of deferred tax liabilities that will partially offset the Company’s deferred tax assets in future years. As of December 31, 2020, we concluded, based on the weight of all available positive and negative evidence, that a portion of our deferred tax assets are not more likely than not to be realized. As such a valuation allowance in the amount of $4.1 billion has been recognized on the Company’s deferred tax assets. The net change in valuation allowance for 2020 was an increase of $1.0 billion. On April 1, 2019, WW Worldwide CV transferred the intellectual property rights to WeWork UK International. For financial reporting purposes the intangible assets; including marketing intangibles, technical IP, and know-how; sign-off. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had U.S. federal income tax net operating loss carryforwards of $4.9 billion, of which $4.1 billion may be carried forward indefinitely and $0.8 billion will begin to expire starting in 2033 if not utilized. The Company also had capital loss carryforward of $193.7 million, which if unused, will expire in 2026. The Company had U.S. state income tax net operating loss carryforwards of $4.3 billion with varying expiration dates (some of which are indefinite), the first of which will begin to expire starting in 2028 if not utilized. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $2.9 billion (with various expiration dates), of which approximately $2.4 billion have indefinite carryforward periods. Certain of these federal, state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 382 or similar provisions, which impose limitations on their utilization amounts. The Company has not recorded deferred income taxes applicable to the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiary that are indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations. Any undistributed earnings will be used to fund international operations and to make investments outside of the United States. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if applicable, related to uncertain tax positions in the income tax provision. There were no reserves for unrecognized tax benefits and no accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company files income tax returns in U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. With some exceptions, most tax years remain open to examination by the taxing authorities due to the Company’s NOL carryforwards. The Company also considered recent tax law changes in response to the COVID-19 Additionally, the CARES Act provides an employee retention credit, which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes of up to $5,000 per employee for eligible employers. The Company qualified for the credit as of April 1, 2020 and has claimed approximately $8.3 million of refundable employee retention tax credits as a partial offset to payroll tax liability as of December 31, 2020. The CARES Act also allows for the deferral of the payment of the employer share of Social Security taxes effective March 27, 2020. The Company has elected to defer its Social Security tax payments in accordance with this provision and will remit the associated payments in two equal installments on or about December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, as required under the CARES Act. The Company deferred approximately $20.6 million of its Social Security tax payments during the year ended December 31, 2020.

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all of the information available, management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance. At December 31, 2020, the valuation allowance was $48,114. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2020. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at December 31, 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate (benefit) to the Company’s effective tax rate (benefit) is as follows: For the Period Statutory federal income tax rate 21.0 % State taxes, net of federal tax benefit 0.0 % Change in fair value of warrant liabilities (20.5 )% Change in valuation allowance (1.0 )% Effective Tax Rate -0.5 %

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Note 14. Stock-Based Compensation Effective February 4, 2015, the Company adopted an equity-based compensation plan, the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2015 Plan”), authorizing the grant of equity-based awards (including stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units) to its management, employees, non-employee directors and other non-employees. Profits Interest Units and Noncontrolling Partnership Interests in the WeWork Partnership per-unit per-unit On September 24, 2019, in connection with the Company’s operational restructuring, Mr. Neumann resigned as CEO. Upon resignation, he held 786,540 vested WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units. At the time of resignation, it was the expectation of the parties involved that a mutual agreement on the 41,686,627 unvested WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units, whose vesting were contingent on Mr. Neumann’s continued service as the Company’s CEO, would be renegotiated. Such agreement was not entered into until October 22, 2019, (which agreement became effective on October 30, 2019) in connection with the SoftBank Transactions. As the status of, and vesting conditions applicable to, the original pre-modified In October 2019, upon receipt of the $1.5 billion under the 2019 Warrant, the Company modified 786,540 WeWork Partnerships Profits Interests held by Mr. Neumann which had vested prior to his resignation on September 24, 2019, to reduce the per-unit per-unit catch-up per-unit per-unit catch-up per-unit per-unit catch-up non-competition non-solicitation In February 2021, in connection with the Settlement Agreement, as defined in Note 16, the remaining 15,609,963 unvested WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units held by Mr. Neumann in the WeWork Partnership became fully vested. In addition, all of Mr. Neumann’s 24,081,668 WeWork Partnerships Profits Interests were amended to reduce the per-unit catch-up per-unit de-SPAC As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, there were none and 1,045,002, respectively of unvested WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units outstanding relating to other former members of executive management which all contained time-based vesting conditions and would have vested over a 7 year period. The economic terms of the WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units give the holder an economic interest in the future growth and appreciation of the Company’s business and are intended to replicate, in certain respects, the economics of incentive stock options, while providing more efficient tax treatment for both the Company and the holder. Holders can also, at the election of the holder, (a) convert their vested WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units into WeWork Partnerships Class B Common Units , or (b) exchange (along with the corresponding shares of WeWork Class C Common Stock) their vested WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units for (at WeWork’s election) shares of WeWork Class B Common Stock (which would immediately and automatically be exchanged for WeWork Class A Common Stock) or cash of an equivalent value. When the WeWork Partnership makes distributions to its partners, the holders of vested WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units are generally entitled to share in those distributions with the other partners, including the wholly-owned subsidiaries of WeWork Inc. that hold partnership interests, once the aggregate amount of distributions since the WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units were issued equals the “aggregate distribution threshold” with respect to those WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units. The “aggregate distribution threshold” with respect to any WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units issued equals the liquidation value of the WeWork Partnership when such WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units was issued, and such amount was determined based on a valuation of the WeWork Partnership performed by a third-party valuation firm. Once a WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units holder is entitled to share in distributions (because prior distributions have been made in an amount equal to the aggregate distribution threshold), the holder is entitled to receive distributions in an amount equal to a “preference amount”, which is a set dollar amount per WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units equal to the difference between the WeWork Partnerships Profits Interests “per-unit per-profits-interest “catch-up Holders can also (a) convert their vested WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units into WeWork Partnerships Class B Common Units, or (b) exchange (along with the corresponding shares of WeWork Class Common Stock) their vested WeWork Partnership Profits Interest Units for (at WeWork’s election) shares of the WeWork Class B Common Stock (which would immediately and automatically be exchanged for the WeWork Class A Common Stock) or cash of an equivalent value. Similar to their entitlement to distributions, as described above, holders of vested WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units can receive value through such an exchange only to the extent the value of the WeWork Partnership has increased above the aggregate distribution threshold. This is measured by comparing the value of a share of the WeWork Class A Common Stock on the day of exchange to the per-unit per-unit Upon the exchange of WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units in the WeWork Partnership for shares of WeWork Class B Common Stock or the forfeiture of WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units in the WeWork Partnership, the corresponding shares of WeWork Class C Common Stock will be redeemed. Shares of WeWork Class C Common Stock cannot be transferred other than in connection with the transfer of the corresponding WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units in the WeWork Partnership. The redemption value of the WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units in the WeWork Partnership are measured based upon the aggregate redemption value and takes into account the proportion of employee services rendered under the WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units vesting provisions. The redemption value will vary from period to period based upon the fair value of the Company and are accounted for as a component of noncontrolling interests within the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet through reclassifications to and from additional-paid-in-capital. As of June 30, 2021, there were 24,132,575 vested WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units outstanding. However, the overall redemption value of outstanding WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units and the corresponding noncontrolling interest in the WeWork Partnership was zero as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, as the fair market value of the Company’s stock as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, was less than the per-unit The following table summarizes the WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units activity during the six months ended June 30, 2021: Number of Weighted- Weighted- Aggregate Outstanding, December 31, 2020 25,168,938 $ 21.64 $ 0.47 $ — Granted — $ — $ — — Exchanged/redeemed — $ — $ — — Forfeited/canceled (1,036,363 ) $ 49.28 $ 10.92 — Outstanding, June 30, 2021 24,132,575 $ 10.08 $ 10.00 $ — Exercisable, June 30, 2021 24,132,575 $ 10.08 $ 10.00 $ — Vested and expected to vest, June 30, 2021 24,132,575 $ 10.08 $ 10.00 $ — Vested and exercisable, June 30, 2021 24,132,575 $ 10.08 $ 10.00 $ — There were no WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, or during the year ended December 31, 2020. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 the Company recorded none and a reduction of $1.3 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units awarded to employees. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $102.2 million, of which $102.0 million was recorded to restructuring and other related costs, and a reduction of $0.5 million, respectively, related to WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units awarded to employees. As of June 30, 2021, there was no unrecognized stock-based compensation expense from outstanding WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units. Stock Options Service-based Vesting Conditions The stock options outstanding noted below consist primarily of time-based options to purchase Class A or Class B Common Stock (which, upon issuance of the shares if exercised, which would immediately and automatically be exchanged for the Company’s Class A Common Stock), the majority of which vest over a three The following table summarizes the stock option activity during the six months ended June 30, 2021: Number of Weighted- Weighted- Aggregate Outstanding, December 31, 2020 34,077,898 $ 4.74 6.4 $ 12,534 Granted — $ — Exercised (5,395,515 ) $ 2.17 Forfeited/canceled (2,411,986 ) $ 6.93 Outstanding, June 30, 2021 26,270,397 $ 5.05 5.9 $ 162,428 Exercisable June 30, 2021 18,044,420 $ 6.21 4.7 $ 103,098 Vested and expected to vest, June 30, 2021 26,010,655 $ 5.05 5.9 $ 162,428 Vested and exercisable, June 30, 2021 18,044,420 $ 6.21 4.7 $ 103,098 The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2020 were $1.67. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020 was 40.0 million and 0.7 million, respectively. Of the stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2020, 1,578,681 stock options were valued using the Black-Scholes Model and a single option approach and the remaining 27,112,272 stock options granted had an original exercise price greater than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and therefore the Company estimated the fair value of these awards using the binomial model. The assumptions used to value stock options issued during the year ended December 31, 2020, were as follows (these assumptions exclude the options exchange in the 2019 Option Repricing Exchange and 2020 Option Repricing described below and noted in the table above): December 31, Fair value of common stock $ 2.07 - 2.10 Weighted average expected term (years) 6.22 Weighted average expected volatility 51.0 % Risk-free interest rate 0.30% - 1.02 % Dividend yield — For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $3.4 million and $7.5 million, respectively, related to stock options awarded to employees and non-employee non-employee non-employee For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded none and an expense of $0.4 million, respectively, of selling, general and administrative expenses related to stock options awarded to non-employee non-employee For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, none 0.1 non-employees 0.1 0.3 non-employees no Service, Performance and Market-based Conditions During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company granted to certain employees options to purchase Class A Common Stock containing both service and performance-based vesting conditions, as well as a market-based exercisability condition. These stock options have a ten-year securities exchange and a market condition tied to the Company’s valuation, at three to four distinct threshold levels over a distinct performance period from 2020 through 2024. Stock options that have become eligible to vest will then vest at the end of a three to five-year service period. These stock options are subject to the risk of forfeiture until vested by virtue of continued employment or service to the Company. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company modified 14.7 million options held by 36 employees to purchase Class A Common Stock containing both service and performance-based vesting conditions (including a market-based vesting condition). The Company modified the market-based condition to be based on the share price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock: (i) after the Company becomes (or becomes a subsidiary of) a publicly traded company with shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, or other similar national exchange, by either (a) an initial public offering, or (b) a Public Company Acquisition (as defined in the agreement), or (ii) if the Company’s Class A Common Stock is not publicly traded on any national securities exchange, the share price shall be measured only as of the closing date of a Capital Raise Transaction (as defined in the agreement). The Company applied modification accounting under ASC 718, which resulted in a new measurement of compensation cost, and the original grant-date fair value of the award is no longer used to measure compensation cost for the award. The weighted-average fair value on the new measurement date amounted to $2.64. The following table summarizes the stock option activity during the six months ended June 30, 2021: Number of Weighted- Weighted- Aggregate (In thousands) Outstanding, December 31, 2020 15,562,500 $ 2.09 9.4 $ — Granted — $ — Exercised — $ — Forfeited/canceled (1,950,000 ) $ 2.09 Outstanding, June 30, 2021 13,612,500 $ 2.09 8.9 $ 100 Exercisable June 30, 2021 — $ — — $ — Vested and expected to vest, June 30, 2021 4,537,500 $ 2.09 8.9 $ 33 Vested and exercisable, June 30, 2021 — $ — — $ — The fair value of the awards with a performance-based vesting condition was estimated using a two-step 2.5-times The fair value of the awards with performance and market-based conditions was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation to address the path-dependent nature of the market-based vesting conditions. Based on the award term, equity value, expected volatility, risk-free rate, and a series of random variables with a normal distribution, the future equity value is simulated to develop a large number of potential paths of the future equity value.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, relating to awards in which any performance conditions are probable of being met. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $1.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively, relating to awards in which any performance conditions are probable of being met. As of June 30, 2021, the unrecognized stock-based compensation expense from outstanding options for which any performance-based vesting conditions are probable of being met was approximately $7.3 million, expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.7 years. Restricted Stock In June 2018, certain former executives of the Company were issued 756,039 shares of restricted Class A Common Stock in exchange for recourse promissory notes with principal balances totaling $20.2 million as of December 31, 2018, included as a component of equity. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there was none included as a component of equity. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company forgave loans and interest totaling $12.5 million. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company received cash repayments of principal and interest totaling $1.0 million and the Company forgave loans and interest totaling $7.5 million, with such forgiveness recorded as a component of restructuring and other related costs on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. These restricted shares were scheduled to vest over a five year period and were subject to repurchase by the Company during the vesting period at the original issue price. The recourse note outstanding as of December 31, 2019, included an interest rate of 2.5% and was originally scheduled to mature in 2027. The loan settled in full during 2019, included an interest rate of 2.9%. In 2019, certain former executives of the Company were issued 113,638 shares of restricted Class A Common Stock in exchange for recourse promissory notes with principal balances totaling none as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, included as a component of equity. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, $2.2 million in loans and accrued interest were settled through cash repayments of principal and interest totaling $1.1 million, the surrendering to the Company of 64,489 Class A Common Stock totaling $0.3 million and the forgiveness of $0.8 million which was recognized as a component of restructuring and other related costs on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. These restricted shares were scheduled to vest over a five year period and were subject to repurchase by the Company during the vesting period at the original issue price. The loans settled in full during 2020 included interest rates of 2.6%. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company granted 1,560,000 RSUs (which remained unvested at June 30, 2021) to employees which RSUs may be settled in Class A Common Stock containing both service and performance-based vesting conditions (including a market-based condition). Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock when fully vested. These RSUs have a seven-year contractual term. These RSUs will be earned following the achievement of either: a performance-based vesting condition tied to operating free cash flow (as defined in the award), or a performance- and market-based vesting condition tied to the share price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock; (i) after the Company becomes (or becomes a subsidiary of) a publicly traded company with shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, or other similar national exchange, by either (a) an initial public offering, or a (b) a Public Company Acquisition (as defined in the agreement), or (ii) if the Company’s Class A Common Stock is not publicly traded on any national securities exchange, the share price shall be measured as of the closing date of a Capital Raise Transaction (as defined in the award), at three or four distinct threshold levels, respectively, over a distinct performance period from 2021 through 2024. RSUs that have become earned shall become payable units when the service conditions are met over a three to four-year service period. RSUs that have become payable units as of the date of a Liquidity Event (as defined in the agreement) will vest on the date of such Liquidity Event (as defined in the agreement). If a Liquidity Event (as defined in the agreement) has occurred, any RSUs that has not become earned as of the date of such Liquidity Event (as defined in the agreement) will vest on the date such RSU becomes earned. These RSUs are subject to the risk of forfeiture until vested by virtue of continued employment or service to the Company. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company granted 1,500,000 RSUs (which remained unvested at June 30, 2021) to an executive which RSUs may be settled in Class A Common Stock containing both service and performance-based vesting conditions. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock when fully vested. These RSUs have a seven-year contractual term. These RSUs will be eligible to vest following the achievement of either: (i) the effective date of an initial public offering, (ii) the closing date of a Public Company Acquisition (as defined in the agreement), or (iii) the closing date of a Capital Raise (as defined in the agreement). RSUs that have become eligible to vest will then vest over a three-year service period. RSUs that have become earned as of the date of a Liquidity Event (as defined in the agreement) will vest on the date of such Liquidity Event (as defined in the agreement). If a Liquidity Event (as defined in the agreement) has occurred, any RSUs that has not become earned as of the date of such Liquidity Event (as defined in the agreement) will vest on the date such RSU becomes earned. The Company reflects restricted stock and restricted stock units as issued and outstanding shares of common stock when vested and when the Class A Common Stock has been delivered to the individual. The following table summarizes the Company’s restricted stock and restricted stock unit activity for the six months ended June 30, 2021: Shares Weighted Average Unvested, December 31, 2020 2,819,146 $ 16.85 Granted 12,972,493 4.12 Vested (165,434 ) 10.41 2021 Tender Offer (1) (594,097 ) 11.40 Forfeited/canceled (2,385,153 ) 4.80 Unvested, June 30, 2021 (2) 12,646,955 $ 6.37 (1) As noted in the 2021 Tender Offer section below, during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and in connection with the 2021 Tender Offer, the Company modified the liquidity event condition with respect to 594,097 restricted stock units held by 1,774 grantees, such that those restricted stock units became fully vested immediately prior to the closing of the 2021 Tender Offer. Refer therein for more details. (2) The unvested balance includes (a) 9,586,956 restricted stock units granted, which will vest annually over a three to seven year employment service period, only if and when an initial public offering or Acquisition (as defined in the 2015 Plan) occurs within seven to ten years of the date of grant, (b) 1,560,000 RSUs as described above, and (c) 1,500,000 RSUs as described above. The fair value of restricted stock and restricted stock units that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020 was $7.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $0.1 million and $4.0 million, respectively, related to restricted stock and restricted stock units awarded to employees and non-employee non-employee non-employee non-employee 2020 Tender Offer Pursuant to the contract, the 2020 Tender Offer was scheduled to expire in April 2020. The closure of the 2020 Tender Offer was contingent on satisfaction of certain conditions as of the expiration date. In April 2020, SBWW terminated and withdrew their offer to purchase the equity securities of WeWork Inc. because it asserted the failure of various conditions to its obligations to close the 2020 Tender Offer. The Special Committee, acting in the name of the Company, filed a complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against SBG and SoftBank Vision Fund asserting claims in relation to SBG’s withdrawal of the 2020 Tender Offer. On February 25, 2021, all parties entered into a settlement agreement, the terms of which resolved the litigation. See Note 16 for details regarding the settlement agreement. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and in connection with the 2020 Tender Offer described below, the Company modified the liquidity event condition with respect to 475,756 restricted stock units (with respect to which the service-based vesting condition had been satisfied) held by 659 During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded none and $8.0 million of additional stock-based compensation expense relating to the 2020 Tender Offer, with none and $1.1 million recorded as a reduction of additional paid in capital. The additional expense was recorded based on management’s assessment of the likely consummation of the 2020 Tender Offer and management’s estimate of the number of shares that would be acquired from employees, former employees and contractors of the Company at a price per share of $19.19, which price was above the fair market value of the shares. As of March 31, 2020, other current liabilities included a balance of $132.5 million relating to the 2020 Tender Offer. In April 2020, SBWW terminated and withdrew their offer to purchase the equity securities of WeWork Inc. as described above. As such, during the three months ended June 30, 2020, the total $132.5 million was reclassified to additional paid in capital. 2021 Tender Offer During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and in connection with the 2021 Tender Offer, the Company modified the liquidity event condition with respect to 594,097 restricted stock units (with respect to which the service-based vesting condition had been satisfied) held by 1,774 The tender offer was completed in April 2021 and as a result 5.1 million shares of Class A Common Stock were acquired primarily from employees of the Company at a price per share of $19.19, which resulted in approximately $45.7 million of additional stock-based compensation expense, and $47.0 million recorded as a reduction of additional paid in capital during the three months ended March 31, 2021, and $92.7 million recorded as a liability within other current liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021. The additional stock-based compensation expense was recorded as the shares were purchased from employees at a price above the fair market value of the shares. The liability recorded as of March 31, 2021 was resolved through an increase to additional paid in capital in April 2021 upon completion of the tender. 2020 Option Repricing one-time 2019 Option Repricing one-time non-employee The 2019 Option Repricing Exchange was also subject to modification accounting under ASC 718.

The consultant is also a member of the Company’s and ChinaCo’s Board of Directors; however, the services required per the terms of grant were greater in scope than the individual’s responsibilities as a standard director. As of September 30, 2020, a total of 2.0 million of these shares were vested and issued. On October 2, 2020, pursuant to the ChinaCo Agreement and immediately prior to the ChinaCo Deconsolidation, an additional 2.0 million shares in ChinaCo were issued to the consultant and the remaining 6.0 million unvested ChinaCo ordinary shares were cancelled. During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 the Company recorded none and $4.5 million, respectively, of selling, general and administrative expenses, associated with the rights to subscribe to ChinaCo ordinary shares granted to non-employee non-employee In November 2018, ChinaCo adopted a long-term equity incentive plan (the “ChinaCo 2018 LTEIP”), authorizing the grant of equity-based awards (including restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights) to ChinaCo employees, officers, directors and consultants. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there was a total of 467,157 and 747,331 respectively, in stock appreciation rights outstanding under the ChinaCo 2018 LTEIP. The ChinaCo Deconsolidation on October 2, 2020 was an Exit Event as defined in the ChinaCo 2018 LTEIP and resulted in the forfeiture of the stock appreciation rights for no consideration as their exercise price was in excess of the implied price per share in the ChinaCo Deconsolidation. As a result of the ChinaCo Deconsolidation, the ChinaCo 2018 LTEIP was terminated and no further awards may be made under the ChinaCo 2018 LTEIP. PacificCo In May 2019, PacificCo adopted a long-term equity incentive plan, (the “PacificCo 2019 LTEIP”), authorizing the grant of equity-based awards (including restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights) to its employees, officers, directors and consultants. As of December 31, 2019, there was a total of 2,843,225 stock appreciation rights outstanding under the PacificCo 2019 LTEIP and there were 78,275 stock appreciation rights forfeited during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The PacificCo Roll-up in-the-money Roll-up totaling payments of $1.3 million. As a result of the completion of the PacificCo Roll-up, JapanCo In November 2019, JapanCo adopted a long-term equity incentive plan, (the “JapanCo 2019 LTEIP”), authorizing the grant of awards for employee interests (including restricted interest units and interest appreciation rights, collectively “Employee Interests”) to its employees, officers, directors and consultants. The maximum number of Employee Interests that may be granted under the JapanCo’s 2019 LTEIP is 4,210,568. Employee Interests are notional non-voting sub-optimal 2.5-times Payment in respect of any interest appreciation right is conditioned upon the occurrence of an Exit Event (as defined in the JapanCo 2019 LTEIP). In addition, awards will generally time-vest over a five year	Note 22. Stock-Based Compensation Effective February 4, 2015, the Company adopted an equity-based compensation plan, the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2015 Plan”), authorizing the grant of equity-based awards (including stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units) to its management, employees, non-employee directors and other non-employees. WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units and Noncontrolling Partnership Interests in the WeWork Partnership per-unit per-unit On September 24, 2019, in connection with the Company’s operational restructuring, Adam Neumann resigned as CEO. Upon resignation, he held 786,540 vested WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units. At the time of resignation, it was the expectation of the parties involved that a mutual agreement on the 41,686,627 unvested WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units, whose vesting were contingent on Adam Neumann’s continued service as the Company’s CEO, would be renegotiated. Such agreement was not entered into until October 22, 2019 (which agreement became effective on October 30, 2019) in connection with the SoftBank Transactions. As the status of, and vesting conditions applicable to, the original pre-modified In October 2019, upon receipt of the $1.5 billion under the 2019 Warrant, the Company modified 786,540 WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units held by Adam Neumann which had vested prior to his resignation on September 24, 2019, to reduce the per-unit per-unit catch-up per-unit per-unit catch-up per-unit $21.05 and to reduce the per-unit catch-up non-competition non-solicitation As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were 984,547 and 3,645,656, respectively of unvested WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units outstanding relating to other members of executive management which all contain time-based vesting conditions and will vest over a period of 7 years. The economic terms of the WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units give the holder an economic interest in the future growth and appreciation of the Company’s business and are intended to replicate, in certain respects, the economics of incentive stock options, while providing more efficient tax treatment for both the Company and the holder. Holders can also, at the election of the holder, (a) convert their vested WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units into WeWork Partnerships Class B Common Units, or (b) exchange (along with the corresponding shares of WeWork Class C Common Stock) their vested WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units for (at WeWork Inc.’s election) shares of WeWork Class B Common Stock (which would immediately and automatically be exchanged for WeWork Class A Common Stock) or cash of an equivalent value. When the WeWork Partnership makes distributions to its partners, the holders of vested WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units are generally entitled to share in those distributions with the other partners, including the wholly-owned subsidiaries of WeWork Inc. that hold partnership interests, once the aggregate amount of distributions since the WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units were issued equals the “aggregate distribution threshold” with respect to those WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units. The “aggregate distribution threshold” with respect to any WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units issued equals the liquidation value of the WeWork Partnership when such was issued, and such amount was or will be determined based on a valuation of the WeWork Partnership performed by a third-party valuation firm. Once a WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units holder is entitled to share in distributions (because prior distributions have been made in an amount equal to the aggregate distribution threshold), the holder is entitled to receive distributions in an amount equal to a “preference amount”, which is a set dollar amount per WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units equal to the difference between the WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units’ “per-unit per-profits-interest “catch-up Holders can also (a) convert their vested WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units into WeWork Partnerships Class B Common Units, or (b) exchange their vested WeWork Partnership Profits Interest Units, together with the corresponding shares of WeWork Class C Common Stock, for shares of the WeWork Class B Common Stock (which would immediately and automatically be exchanged for the WeWork Class A Common Stock) or cash of an equivalent value. Similar to their entitlement to distributions, as described above, holders of vested WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units can receive value through such an exchange only to the extent the value of the WeWork Partnership has increased above the aggregate distribution threshold. This is measured by comparing the value of a share of the WeWork Class A Common Stock on the day of exchange to the per-unit per-unit Upon the exchange of WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units in the WeWork Partnership for shares of WeWork Class B Common Stock or the forfeiture of WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units in the WeWork Partnership, the corresponding shares of WeWork Class C Common Stock will be redeemed. Shares of WeWork Class C Common Stock cannot be transferred other than in connection with the transfer of the corresponding WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units in the WeWork Partnership. The redemption value of the WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units in the WeWork Partnership are measured based upon the aggregate redemption value and takes into account the proportion of employee services rendered under the WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units vesting provisions. The redemption value will vary from period to period based upon the fair value of the Company , whereby the intrinsic value (per-unit fair value is greater than the per-unit distribution threshold) will be reflected as a noncontrolling interest in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding entry to additional paid-in-capital. The intrinsic value of the WeWork Partnerships Profits Interests will be remeasured each period until the WeWork Partnerships Profits Interests are converted to shares. As of December 31, 2020, there were 8,574,428 vested WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units outstanding.

These amounts exclude options granted in connection with the Option Repricing. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $0.7 million, $156.6 million and $14.9 million, respectively. Of the stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2020, 1,578,681 stock options were valued using the Black-Scholes Model and a single option approach and the remaining 27,112,272 stock options granted included an original exercise price greater than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and therefore the Company estimated the fair value of these awards using the binomial model. The stock options granted during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were valued using the Black-Scholes Model and a single option approach. The assumptions used to value stock options issued during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were as follows (excluding options exchanged in the Option Repricing, described below): December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Fair value of common stock $ 2.07 - 2.10 $ 37.44 - 42.88 $ 26.45 - 26.75 Weighted average expected term (years) 6.22 6.41 6.19 Weighted average expected volatility 51.0% 40.0% 40.0% Risk-free interest rate 0.30% - 1.02% 1.98% - 2.70% 2.41% - 2.99% Dividend yield — — — For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $28.2 million, $74.2 million and $44.3 million, respectively, related to stock options awarded to employees and non-employee non-employee For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded $1.7 million, $2.2 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of selling, general and administrative expenses related to stock options awarded to non-employee non-employee For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, $0.4 million, $1.1 million and $1.1 million respectively, of expense relating to stock options awarded to non-employees Early Exercise of Stock Options The Company allows certain employees and directors to exercise stock options granted under the 2013 Plan and 2015 Plan prior to vesting. The shares received as a result of the early exercise of unvested stock options are subject to a repurchase right by the Company at the original exercise price for a period equal to the original vesting period. During 2014, certain individuals early exercised stock options prior to vesting; however, in lieu of the cash consideration required to exercise the stock options, these individuals each provided a 1.9% interest bearing recourse note, for an aggregate of $2.7 million as of December 31, 2018, included as a component of equity, and were fully settled as of December 31, 2019. The notes were originally scheduled to mature in November 2023. As a result of the early exercises, the individuals received shares of restricted Class B Common Stock which were scheduled to vest over a specified period of time (which period of time was consistent with the original vesting schedule of the stock options grant). The restricted Class B Common Stock was subject to repurchase at the original exercise price by the Company over the original vesting term. During the year ended December 31, 2019, $1.1 million of the loans were forgiven and the Company recognized the forgiveness amount as a component of selling, general and administrative expense and the remaining $1.6 million was repaid. During 2019, Adam Neumann early exercised stock options prior to vesting; however, in lieu of the cash consideration required to exercise the stock options, he was provided a $362.1 million interest bearing recourse note that the Company accounted for as in-substance non-recourse. Service, Performance and Market-based Conditions During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company granted to employees options to purchase Class A Common Stock containing both service and performance-based vesting conditions (including a market-based vesting condition).

The amount excludes options granted in connection with the Option Repricing. The fair value of the awards with a performance-based vesting condition was estimated using a two-step binomial option pricing model to capture the impact of the value the underlying common stock based on the Company’s complex capital structure and the post-vesting exercise behavior of the subject awards, which were captured by applying a suboptimal exercise factor of 2.5-times The fair value of the awards with performance and market-based conditions was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation to address the path-dependent nature of the market-based vesting conditions. Based on the award term, equity value, expected volatility, risk-free rate, and a series of random variables with a normal distribution, the future equity value is simulated to develop a large number of potential paths of the future equity value. Each path within the simulation includes the measurement of the 90-trading sub-optimal 2.5-times The assumptions used to value the stock options issued during the year ended December 31, 2020 (excluding options exchanged in the Option Repricing, described below) were as follows: December 31, Fair value of common stock $2.07 -$2.10 Weighted average expected term (years) 5.56 Weighted average expected volatility 50.0% Risk-free interest rate 0.20% - 0.80% Dividend yield —% The Company recognizes the compensation cost of awards subject to service-based and performance-based vesting conditions using the accelerated attribution method over the requisite service period if the performance-based vesting conditions are probable of being met. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $1.1 million relating to awards in which any performance conditions are probable of being met. As of December 31, 2020, the unrecognized stock-based compensation expense from outstanding options for which any performance-based vesting conditions are probable of being met was approximately $8.2 million, expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 4.2 years. Restricted Stock During 2015, certain executives of the Company were issued 440,864 shares of restricted Class A Common Stock and 500,000 shares of restricted Class B Common Stock in exchange for recourse promissory notes with principal balances totaling $6.2 million and $5.6 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2018, respectively, included as a component of equity, and were fully settled as of December 31, 2019. These restricted shares were scheduled to vest primarily over a five year In June 2018, certain executives of the Company were issued 756,039 shares of restricted Class A Common Stock in exchange for recourse promissory notes with principal balances totaling $20.2 million as of December 31, 2018, included as a component of equity. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019 there was none and $11.8 million, respectively included as a component of equity. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company forgave loans and interest totaling $12.5 million. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company received cash repayments of principal and interest totaling $1.0 million and the Company forgave loans and interest totaling $7.5 million, with such forgiveness recorded as a component of restructuring and other related costs on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. These restricted shares were scheduled to vest over a five year period and were subject to repurchase by the Company during the vesting period at the original issue price. The recourse note outstanding as of December 31, 2019 included an interest rate of 2.5% and was originally scheduled to mature in 2027. The loan settled in full during 2019, included an interest rate of 2.9%. In 2019, certain executives of the Company were issued 113,638 shares of restricted Class A Common Stock in exchange for recourse promissory notes with principal balances totaling none and $2.2 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and included as a component of equity. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, $ 2.2 The Company reflects restricted stock and restricted stock units as issued and outstanding shares of common stock when vested and when the Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock has been delivered to the individual.

As of December 31, 2020, a total of 670,244 shares representing $14.5 million was included as a component of additional paid-in (2) The unvested balance includes (a) 158,048 restricted stock and restricted stock units that will vest over their remaining service period, and (b) 2,661,098 restricted stock units granted, which will vest annually over a three to seven year employment service period or upon the satisfaction of specified performance-based vesting conditions, only if and when an initial public offering or Acquisition (as defined in the 2015 Plan) occurs within seven to ten years of the date of grant. The fair value of restricted stock that vested during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was $1.5 million, $4.4 million and $29.3 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $8.3 million, $11.0 million and $14.7 million respectively, related to restricted stock and restricted stock units awarded to employees and non-employee non-employee expense from restricted stock and restricted stock units with performance-based vesting conditions issued to employees and non-employee During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and in connection with the 2020 Tender Offer described below, the Company modified the liquidity event condition with respect to 475,756 restricted stock units held by 659 grantees, such that those restricted stock units would have become vested immediately prior to the closing of the 2020 Tender Offer and settled in Class A Common Stock that would have been able to be tendered in the 2020 Tender Offer. The Company accounted for the modification in accordance with ASC 718 and recognized $1.1 million of incremental compensation cost during the year ended December 31, 2020. 2019 Tender Offer The 2019 Tender Offer was completed in April 2019 and as a result 4.9 million shares of common stock were acquired primarily from employees of the Company at a price per share of $54, which resulted in approximately $136.0 million of additional stock-based compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2019, and $0.5 million of capitalized stock-based compensation charges during the year ended December 31, 2019. The additional stock-based compensation expense was recorded as the shares were purchased from employees at a price above the fair market value of the shares. The majority of the additional compensation expense associated with the 2019 Tender Offer was incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2019, at which point a liability was recorded as of March 31, 2019 that was resolved through an increase to additional paid in capital upon completion of the tender in April 2019. 2020 Tender Offer Pursuant to the contract, the 2020 Tender Offer was scheduled to expire in April 2020. The closure of the 2020 Tender Offer was contingent on satisfaction of certain conditions as of the expiration date. In April 2020, SBWW terminated and withdrew their offer to purchase the equity securities of WeWork Inc. because it asserted the failure of various conditions to its obligations to close the 2020 Tender Offer. The Special Committee, acting in the name of the Company, filed a complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against SBG and SoftBank Vision Fund (AIV M1) L.P. asserting claims in relation to SBG’s withdrawal of the 2020 Tender Offer. On February 25, 2021, the parties entered into a settlement agreement, the terms of which, when completed, resolved the litigation. See Note 27 for details regarding the February 25, 2021 settlement agreement. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded $8.0 million and $112.8 million respectively, of additional stock-based compensation expense relating to the 2020 Tender Offer, with $1.1 million and $10.6 million, respectively recorded as a reduction of additional paid in capital. The additional expense was recorded based on management’s assessment of the likely consummation of the 2020 Tender Offer and management’s estimate of the number of shares that would be acquired from employees, former employees and contractors of the Company at a price per share of $19.19, which price was above the fair market value of the shares. As of March 31, 2020, other current liabilities included a balance of $132.5 million relating to the 2020 Tender Offer. In April 2020, SBWW terminated and withdrew their offer to purchase the equity securities of WeWork Inc. as described above. As such, during the three months ended June 30, 2020, the total $132.5 million was reclassified to additional paid in capital. 2020 Option Repricing one-time 2019 Option Repricing one-time non-employee The 2019 Option Repricing Exchange was also subject to modification accounting under ASC 718. In connection with this modification, the Company recorded incremental stock-based compensation expense of $0.7 million and $2.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. As of December 31, 2020, the unrecognized stock-based compensation expense from the modification was approximately $0.8 million, expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.6 years.

The consultant is also a member of the Company’s and ChinaCo’s Board of Directors; however, the services required per the terms of grant were greater in scope than the individual’s responsibilities as a standard director. As of September 30, 2020, a total of 2.0 million of these shares were vested and issued. On October 2, 2020, pursuant to the ChinaCo Agreement and just prior to the ChinaCo Deconsolidation, an additional 2.0 million shares in ChinaCo were issued to the consultant and the remaining 6.0 million unvested ChinaCo ordinary shares were cancelled. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 the Company recorded $6.1 million, $18.0 million and $14.4 million, respectively, of selling, general and administrative expenses, associated with the rights to subscribe to ChinaCo ordinary shares granted to non-employee In November 2018, ChinaCo adopted a long-term equity incentive plan (the “ChinaCo 2018 LTEIP”), authorizing the grant of equity-based awards (including restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights) to ChinaCo employees, officers, directors and consultants. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there was a total of 467,157 and 747,331 respectively, in stock appreciation rights outstanding under the ChinaCo 2019 LTEIP. The ChinaCo Deconsolidation on October 2, 2020 was an Exit Event as defined in the ChinaCo 2018 LTEIP and resulted in the forfeiture of the stock appreciation rights for no consideration as their exercise price was in excess of the implied price per share in the ChinaCo Deconsolidation. As a result of the ChinaCo Deconsolidation, the ChinaCo 2018 LTEIP was terminated and no further awards may be made under the ChinaCo 2018 LTEIP. No stock-based compensation expense was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 prior to the ChinaCo Deconsolidation on October 2, 2020. PacificCo In May 2019, PacificCo adopted a long-term equity incentive plan, (the “PacificCo 2019 LTEIP”), authorizing the grant of equity-based awards (including restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights) to its employees, officers, directors and consultants. As of December 31, 2019 there was a total of 2,843,225 stock appreciation rights outstanding under the PacificCo 2019 LTEIP and there were 78,275 stock appreciation rights forfeited during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The PacificCo Roll-up in-the-money Roll-up Roll-up, LTEIP was terminated, the Company recognized $11.4 million in stock-based compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2020 and no further awards may be made under the PacificCo 2019 LTEIP. No expense was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2019. JapanCo In November 2019, JapanCo adopted a long-term equity incentive plan, (the “JapanCo 2019 LTEIP”), authorizing the grant of awards for employee interests (including restricted interest units and interest appreciation rights, collectively “Employee Interests”) to its employees, officers, directors and consultants. The maximum number of Employee Interests that may be granted under the JapanCo’s 2019 LTEIP is 4,210,568. Employee Interests are notional non-voting sub-optimal 2.5-times Payment in respect of any interest appreciation right is conditioned upon the occurrence of an Exit Event (as defined in the JapanCo 2019 LTEIP). In addition, awards will generally time-vest over a five year employment service period. Each interest appreciation right entitles the grantee to the increase, if any, from the exercise price (fair market value) to the fair market value at the Exit Event in cash or shares of JapanCo. As of December 31, 2020 there was a total of 1,703,665 interest appreciation rights outstanding under the JapanCo 2019 LTEIP and there were 59,254 interest appreciation rights forfeited during the year ended December 31, 2020. The unrecognized stock-based compensation expense from outstanding interest appreciation rights awarded under the JapanCo 2019 LTEIP was approximately $3.3 million as of December 31, 2020, which to the extent the other vesting conditions are met, will only be recognized when the Exit Event occurs. As a result, there was no stock-based compensation expense recognized during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 associated with the JapanCo 2019 LTEIP.

Net Loss Per Share	Note 15. Net Loss Per Share We compute net loss per share of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock under the two-class method required for multiple classes of common stock and participating securities. The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are substantially identical, other than voting rights. The shares of Class C Common Stock are deemed to be a non-economic interest. Accordingly, only the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock share in our net losses. On February 26, 2021, in connection with the Settlement Agreement (as defined in Note 16), all of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock were automatically converted into shares of Class A Common Stock and the shares of Class C Common Stock of the Company now have one vote per share, instead of three (the "Class B Conversion"). Our participating securities includes Series A, B, C, D-1, D-2, E, F, G, G-1, H-1, H-3 and Acquisition Preferred Stock, as the holders of these series of preferred stock are entitled to receive a noncumulative dividend on a pari passu Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to WeWork Inc. attributable to its Class A Common and Class B Common Stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding during the period. 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 our 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 and Class B Common Stockholders by the weighted-average number of fully diluted common shares outstanding. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, our potential dilutive shares, such as stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, warrants, convertible notes, WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units and shares of convertible Series A, B, C, D-1, D-2, E, F, G, G-1, H-1, H-3, Acquisition and Junior Preferred Stock 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 our common stock are calculated as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Numerator: Net loss attributed to WeWork Inc. $ (888,845 ) $ (863,829 ) $ (2,921,200 ) $ (1,047,698 ) Net loss attributable to Class A and Class B Common Stockholders (1) $ (888,845 ) $ (863,829 ) $ (2,921,200 ) $ (1,047,698 ) Denominator: Basic shares: Weighted-average shares - Basic 175,941,649 170,754,546 173,751,116 170,691,538 Diluted shares: Weighted-average shares - Diluted 175,941,649 170,754,546 173,751,116 170,691,538 Net loss per share attributable to Class A and Class B Common Stockholders: Basic $ (5.05 ) $ (5.06 ) $ (16.81 ) $ (6.14 ) Diluted $ (5.05 ) $ (5.06 ) $ (16.81 ) $ (6.14 ) (1) The three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are comprised of only Class A Common Shares as noted above The following table presents the total weighted-average number of potentially dilutive shares that were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to Class A and Class B common stockholders because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Convertible Preferred Stock Series A, B, C, D-1, D-2, E, F, G, G-1, H-1, H-3 and Acquisition 498,988,499 343,135,729 469,472,111 282,743,534 Convertible Preferred Stock Series Junior 1,500 1,500 1,500 1,500 Convertible notes 593,329 785,302 688,785 785,302 Stock options not subject to performance conditions 15,936,465 5,957,464 14,317,839 7,771,586 Vested RSUs with non-forfeitable dividend rights 549,753 573,973 622,067 553,742 Warrants 6,364,895 135,611,308 35,741,210 135,803,608	Note 23.

Our participating securities includes Series A, B, C, D-1, D-2, E, F, G, G-1, H-1 and Acquisition Preferred Stock, as the holders of these series of preferred stock are entitled to receive a noncumulative dividend on a pari passu Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to WeWork Inc. attributable to its Class A Common and Class B Common Stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding during the period. 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 our 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 and Class B Common Stockholders by the weighted-average number of fully diluted common shares outstanding. In the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, our potential dilutive shares, such as stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, warrants, convertible notes, WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest and shares of convertible Series A, B, C, D-1, D-2, E, F, G, G-1, H-1, Acquisition and Junior Preferred Stock 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 our common stock are calculated as follows for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018: Year Ended December 31, (Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data) 2020 2019 2018 Numerator: Net loss attributed to WeWork Inc. $ (3,129,358 ) $ (3,264,738 ) $ (1,610,792 ) Net loss attributable to Class A and Class B Common Stockholders $ (3,129,358 ) $ (3,264,738 ) $ (1,610,792 ) Denominator: Basic shares: Weighted-average shares - Basic 170,275,761 168,436,109 163,148,918 Diluted shares: Weighted-average shares - Diluted 170,275,761 168,436,109 163,148,918 Net loss per share attributable to Class A and Class B Common Stockholders: Basic $ (18.38 ) $ (19.38 ) $ (9.87 ) Diluted $ (18.38 ) $ (19.38 ) $ (9.87 ) The following table presents the total weighted-average number of potentially dilutive shares that were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to Class A and Class B common stockholders because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Convertible Preferred Stock Series A, B, C, D-1, D-2, E, F, G, G-1, H-1 and Acquisition 310,157,467 190,353,521 171,369,355 Convertible Preferred Stock Series Junior 1,500 1,500 1,500 Convertible notes 785,302 5,666,996 3,848,814 Stock options not subject to performance conditions 6,798,047 15,339,168 16,023,662 Unvested restricted stock/RSUs not subject to performance conditions — 489,220 955,301 Vested RSUs with non-forfeitable dividend rights 594,412 432,472 272,185 Warrants 135,722,164 14,695,807 1,178,715 WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units not subject to performance conditions — 550,387 —

There was $8.4 million and $49.2 million of standby letters of credit outstanding under these other arrangements that are secured by $11.5 million and $53.6 million of restricted cash at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. 2020 LC Facility and Company/SBG Reimbursement Agreement February 10, 2020 co-obligor, co-obligor, The 2020 LC Facility is guaranteed by substantially all of the domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries of WeWork Companies LLC (collectively the “Guarantors”) and is secured by substantially all the assets of WeWork Companies LLC and the Guarantors, in each case, subject to customary exceptions. The Company 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 Company Credit Agreement) are limited to restrictions on liens (subject to exceptions substantially consistent with the 7.875% Senior Notes due 2025), changes in line of business and disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of WeWork Companies LLC. In connection with the 2020 LC Facility, WeWork Companies LLC also entered into a reimbursement agreement, dated February 10, 2020 (as amended by the First Amendment, dated as of April 1, 2020, the “Company/SBG Reimbursement Agreement”), with the SoftBank Obligor pursuant to which (i) the SoftBank Obligor agreed to pay substantially all of the fees and expenses payable in connection with the Company Credit Agreement, (ii) the Company agreed to reimburse SoftBank Obligor for certain of such fees and expenses (including fronting fees up to an amount not to exceed 0.125% on the undrawn and unexpired amount of the letters of credit) as well as to pay the SoftBank Obligor 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.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized $19.1 million and $29.2 million in interest expense in connection with amounts payable to SBG pursuant to the Company/SBG Reimbursement Agreement. As the Company is also obligated to issue shares to SBG in the future pursuant to the 2020 LC Facility Warrant, with such warrant valued at issuance at $284.4 million, the implied interest rate for the Company on the 2020 LC Facility at issuance, assuming the full commitment is drawn, is approximately 12.47%. LC Debt Facility — (1-6 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 each note issuance.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded $0.04 million of interest expense relating to the amortization of these costs. Construction Commitments Legal Matters pre-litigation 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, 2021, the Company is also party to several litigation matters and regulatory matters not in the normal ordinary course of business. These 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 a loss. It is not currently possible to estimate a range of reasonably possible loss above the aggregated reserves. Carter v. Neumann, et al.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Other Related Party Transactions	Note 17. Other Related Party Transactions On June 30, 2021, in connection with the Company’s sale of its 5.7% interest in Sound Ventures II, LLC to Softbank, described in Note 6, an amendment was made to the original profit sharing arrangement (“PSA”) resulting from the sale of the Creator Fund to Softbank in 2020. The PSA was updated to reflect the additional capital commitment to Sound Ventures of $8.0 million (equal to the $6.1 million purchase price and contributed capital already funded and $1.9 million in unfunded commitments assumed by the Buyer). As such, the Company will be entitled to 20% of profits on sale of underlying portfolio investments in the Creator Fund over $101.8 million. Subsequent to the ChinaCo Deconsolidation, the Company is entitled to certain transition services fees equal to $1.8 million for transition services provided from October 2, 2020 through December 31, 2020 and the lesser of $0.6 million per month or the actual costs of services provided for the following three month period. The Company is also entitled to an annual management fee of 4% of net revenues beginning on the later of 2022 or the first fiscal year following the Initial Investment Closing in which EBIT of ChinaCo is positive (the “ChinaCo Management Fee”). The Company is also entitled to an additional $1.3 million in fees in connection with data migration and application integration services to be performed over a six month period beginning on October 2, 2020. These data migration and application integration fees are only payable on the first date the ChinaCo Management Fee becomes payable. Subsequent to the ChinaCo Deconsolidation, the Company has also continued to provide a guarantee to certain landlords of ChinaCo, guaranteeing total lease obligations up to $3.5 million as of June 30, 2021. The Company is entitled to a fee totaling approximately $0.1 million per year for providing such guarantees, until such guarantees are extinguished. During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $0.01 million and none, respectively, of total fee income for services provided to ChinaCo, included within service revenue as a component of total revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $1.5 million and none, respectively, of total fee income for services provided to ChinaCo, included within service revenue as a component of total revenue in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. All amounts earned from ChinaCo prior to the deconsolidation are eliminated in consolidation. On March 21, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with SBG, related to reimbursement of funds to the Company related to the underwriting and for production services performed by the Company for Creator Awards events held or to be held between September 2017 and January 2021. Pursuant to the terms of the contract, in consideration of the Company’s performance of its obligations, SBG was required to make payments totaling $80.0 million. Any portion of the total $80.0 million contracted payments not used in connection with the execution of services by December 31, 2020 was reimbursable by the Company to an affiliate of SBG. An affiliate of SBG funded $20.0 million during 2017, as a deposit in anticipation of signing a contract with the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the contract, the Company received an additional $40.0 million in cash during the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company recognized $38.4 million as other revenue, during the year ended December 31, 2019 relating to services provided by the Company in support of Creator Award events that occurred during the period from September 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019. No cash was received and no revenue was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020 relating to this contract. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $21.6 million recorded within deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheet relating to this contract. In September 2020, in connection with the transfer of the Company’s variable interest and control over the Creator Fund to an affiliate of SBG described in Note 5, the production services agreement was terminated and the parties agreed that the Company would not be required to reimburse an affiliate of SBG for the $21.6 million of deferred revenue. As SBG is a principal shareholder of the Company, the forgiveness of this reimbursement obligation was accounted for as a capital contribution and reclassified from liabilities to additional paid-in-capital During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company earned an additional $28.1 million and $35.1 million, respectively, in revenue from SBG for the sale of memberships and various other services provided.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Disclosures and Concentration	Note 18. 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.

The majority of the Company’s revenue is earned from locations in densely populated cities and as a result may be more susceptible to economic impacts as a result of COVID-19. The majority of our revenue is earned from locations in the United States and United Kingdom. During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, approximately 42% and 49%, respectively, of our revenue was earned in the United States and approximately 13% and 12%, respectively, of our revenue was earned in the United Kingdom.

Any LC Facility Termination Extension will require the requisite consent of the lenders thereunder. Credit Support Letter (SSN) On March 25, 2021, the Company and an affiliate of SBG entered into a letter agreement pursuant to which the Company and an affiliate of SBG have agreed to amend and restate the terms of the Master Senior Secured Notes Note Purchase Agreement that governs the SoftBank Senior Secured Notes (as amended and restated, the “A&R Senior Secured Note Purchase Agreement”) on the earlier of (i) the Closing and (ii) August 12, 2021. The A&R Senior Secured Note Purchase Agreement will allow the Company to borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $550.0 million of senior secured debt in the form of new 7.5% senior secured notes (the “A&R Senior Secured Notes”). It is a condition to the execution of the A&R Senior Secured Note Purchase Agreement that any outstanding SoftBank Senior Secured Notes be redeemed, repurchased or otherwise repaid and canceled at a price of 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest. The A&R Senior Secured Note Purchase Agreement will allow the Company to borrow once every 30 days with minimum draws of $50.0 million. The A&R Senior Secured Notes will mature no later than February 12, 2023 or, if earlier, 18 months from the Closing. Warrants Concurrently with and contingent upon the Closing, BowX will issue to SBWW or its designees the First Warrant to purchase a number of shares of BowX Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) equal to 47,366,404 multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, subject to the terms set forth therein, at a price per share equal to $0.01 divided by the Exchange Ratio (rounded to the nearest full cent). The First Warrant will expire on the tenth anniversary of the Closing. Although the First Warrant will be issued by BowX, solely for purposes of calculating the Exchange Ratio used in the Business Combination, the First Warrant is treated in the same manner as a hypothetical outstanding warrant to purchase 47,366,404 shares of WeWork Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. Additionally, concurrently with and contingent upon the LC Facility Termination Extension, BowX will issue to SBG or its designees one or more warrants (collectively, the “LC Warrant”) to purchase a number of shares of BowX Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) equal to 14,431,991 multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, subject to the terms set forth therein, at a price per share equal to $0.01 divided by the Exchange Ratio (rounded to the nearest full cent). The LC Warrant would expire on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date of issuance. We Company Partnership Under the partnership agreement for the We Company Partnership, vested WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units (“PIUs”) can, at the election of the holder of the PIUs, be (a) converted into WeWork Partnerships Class B Common Units, or (b) exchanged (along with the corresponding shares of WeWork Class C Common Stock) for (at WeWork’s election) shares of WeWork Class B Common Stock or cash of equivalent value, assuming that the value of a share of WeWork Class B Common Stock exceeds the per-unit catch-up catch-up catch-up Under the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, following the threshold automatic conversion on February 26, 2021, any newly-issued shares of class B common stock exchanged from vested PIUs will, immediately after such issuance, automatically convert into shares of class A common stock. In connection with the Business Combination, the partnership agreement for the We Company Partnership will be amended at the Closing to implement mechanical changes to reflect the conversion of shares of capital stock of the Company to shares of BowX Common Stock (including the conversion of shares of class C common stock into shares of Class C Common stock of BowX). Specifically, the number of outstanding partnership interests (including all PIUs) will be adjusted to equal the number of shares of the corresponding class of common stock of BowX (which, in the case of the PIUs, is the Class C Common stock of BowX), taking into account the Exchange Ratio in the Merger.

WeWork Inc., through the WeWork Partnership and WeWork Companies LLC, holds all the assets held by WeWork Companies Inc. prior to the legal entity reorganization and is subject to all the liabilities to which WeWork Companies Inc. was subject prior to the legal entity reorganization. Subsequent to the July 2019 legal entity reorganization, WeWork Companies LLC is the borrower under the Company’s credit facilities and the obligor on its Senior Notes, each of which is also guaranteed by WeWork Inc. The following 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2020 As a result of various legal reorganization transactions undertaken in July 2019 as discussed in Note 1 to the 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 on October 14, 2020, The We Company changed its legal name to WeWork Inc. WeWork Inc. 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. WeWork Inc., through the WeWork Partnership and WeWork Companies LLC, holds all the assets held by WeWork Companies Inc. prior to the legal entity reorganization and is subject to all the liabilities to which WeWork Companies Inc. was subject prior to the legal entity reorganization. Subsequent to the July 2019 legal entity reorganization, WeWork Companies LLC is the borrower under the Company’s credit facilities and the obligor on its Senior Notes, each of which is also guaranteed by WeWork Inc. The following 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 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 December 31, 2020, based on the covenants and other restrictions of the credit agreement and the Senior 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.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation	Basis of Quarterly Presentation and Principles of Consolidation 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, 2021 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, 2021. 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, 2020, included in WeWork Inc.’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2020. 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 The Company operates as a single operating segment. See Note 18 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, WeCap Manager and WeCap Holdings Partnership (each as defined and discussed in Note 5) are the Company’s only consolidated VIEs as of June 30, 2021. In March 2020, in connection with the sale of the property held by the 424 Fifth Venture (the “424 Fifth Venture Transaction”), redemption payments were made to the noncontrolling interest holders in the 424 Fifth Venture and the 424 Fifth Venture became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and is no longer a VIE. In April 2020, in connection with the SoftBank Transactions, the Company completed the acquisition of the noncontrolling interest in PacificCo (as defined in Note 5) and PacificCo became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and is no longer a VIE. In September 2020, the Company transferred its variable interest and control over the Creator Fund to an affiliate of SBG and the Creator Fund was deconsolidated from the Company’s financial statements. In October 2020, the Company restructured its ownership interests in ChinaCo (as defined in Note 5) such that the Company is no longer the primary beneficiary of ChinaCo and as a result, beginning on October 2, 2020, ChinaCo was deconsolidated (the “ChinaCo Deconsolidation”) and the Company’s remaining ordinary share investment represents an unconsolidated VIE that is accounted for as an equity method investment. See Note 5 for further discussion of these transactions. See Note 6 for discussion of the Company’s non-consolidated A noncontrolling interest in a consolidated subsidiary represents the portion of the equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. Noncontrolling interests are presented as a separate component of equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the presentation of net income in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, is modified to present earnings and other comprehensive income attributed to controlling and noncontrolling interests. The Company’s convertible preferred stock and noncontrolling interests that are redeemable upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the Company are classified outside of permanent equity. As it is not probable that amounts will become redeemable, no remeasurement is required. The Company will continue to monitor the probability of redemption. The Company’s noncontrolling interests that have redemption features within the Company’s control are classified within permanent equity and are described further below. The redemption value of the WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units (as discussed in Note 14) that were awarded to management are measured based upon the aggregate redemption value and takes into account the proportion of employee services rendered under the WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units vesting provisions. The redemption value will vary from period to period based upon the fair value of the Company, whereby the intrinsic value (per-unit per-unit paid-in-capital.

The redemption value will vary from period to period based upon the fair value of the Company, whereby the intrinsic value (per-unit fair value of the Company is greater than the per-unit distribution threshold) will be reflected as a noncontrollling interests in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets with a corresponding entry to additional paid-in-capital. The intrinsic value of the WeWork Partnership Profits Interests will be remeasured each period until the WeWork Partnerships Profits Interests are converted to shares. The Company’s other noncontrolling interests represent substantive profit-sharing arrangements and profits and losses are attributed to the controlling and noncontrolling interests using the hypothetical-liquidation-at-book-value

Property and Equipment			Property and Equipment three
Business Combinations			Business Combinations Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.
Goodwill			Goodwill The guidance for goodwill impairment testing begins with an optional qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. The Company is not required to perform a quantitative impairment test unless it is determined, based on the results of the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. The quantitative impairment test is prepared at the reporting unit level. In performing the impairment test, management compares the estimated fair values of the applicable reporting units to their aggregate carrying values, including goodwill. If the carrying amounts of a reporting unit including goodwill were to exceed the fair value of the reporting unit, an impairment loss is recognized within our consolidated statements of operations in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The process of evaluating goodwill for impairment requires judgments and assumptions to be made to determine the fair value of the reporting unit, including discounted cash flow calculations, assumptions market participants would make in valuing each reporting unit and the level of the Company’s own share price.
Intangible Assets, net			Intangible Assets, net Acquired intangible assets are carried at cost and finite-lived intangible asset are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. We determine the appropriate useful life of our intangible assets by measuring the expected cash flows of acquired assets. The initial estimated useful life of the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets range from one year to ten years. The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset balances for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each year as of October 1, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that the value of goodwill may be impaired.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets			Impairment of Long-Lived Assets right-of-use non-core COVID-19, non-routine non-routine
Assets Held for Sale			Assets Held for Sale Assets that are classified as held for sale and the related liabilities directly associated with those that will be transferred in that transaction are initially measured at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell and depreciation and amortization expense is no longer recorded. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met. The fair value of assets held for sale less any costs to sell is assessed each reporting period they remain classified as held for sale and any subsequent changes are reported as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the assets, as long as the adjusted carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount of the assets at the time it was initially classified as held for sale. Gains are not recognized on the sale of an asset until the date of sale. During the fourth quarter of 2019, management approved the disposal through sale of certain assets and businesses. As of December 31, 2019, these assets and the liabilities directly associated with those assets that were expected to be transferred in those transactions were reclassified to held for sale on the accompanying balance sheet. These disposal transactions and others that closed during 2020 did not qualify as discontinued operations. As of December 31, 2020 there are no assets classified as held for sale. See Note 8 for further discussion.
Deferred Financing Costs			Deferred Financing Costs
Revenue Recognition			Revenue Recognition Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Revenue Recognition Leases The Company’s primary revenue categories, related performance obligations and associated recognition patterns are as follows: Membership and Service Revenue Membership revenue consists primarily of fees from members, net of discounts for the access to office space provided. The majority of the Company’s membership contracts are accounted for as revenue in accordance with ASC 606 and are recognized over time, evenly on a ratable basis, over the life of the agreement, as services are provided and the performance obligation is satisfied. Certain of the Company’s membership contracts with its members related to “configured” workspaces which meet the definition of operating leases under ASC 842. The Company has elected not to separate non-lease Service revenue consists of additional billings to members for the ancillary services they may access through their memberships in excess of monthly allowances included in membership revenue, commissions earned by the Company on various services and benefits provided to our members and management fee income for services provided to Unconsolidated Locations subject to joint venture or other management arrangements, which as of December 31, 2020 included locations in India (“IndiaCo”) and Greater China (as defined in Note 6 (“ChinaCo”)). Members may elect whether they want to add-on add-on add-on add-on The Company’s individual locations may include a combination of membership contracts for which revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 606 and ASC 842 and the location operating expenses are incurred for the location as a whole and not segregated by individual member spaces and as a result, when evaluating the cost of services for membership and service revenue, both contract types are combined to evaluate the gross profit or performance of an individual location. Other Revenue space-as-a-service. 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 which 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. The Company performs ongoing profitability analyses of its design and build services contracts accounted for using a cost-to-cost catch-up Pre-contract Income generated from sponsorships and ticket sales from WeWork branded events are recognized upon the occurrence of the event. Other revenues are generally recognized over time, on a monthly basis, as the services are performed. Billing terms and conditions generally vary by contract category. Amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals (e.g., upfront, monthly or quarterly) or upon achievement of contractual milestones. For most of our standard memberships which are typically invoiced monthly, our payment terms are immediate. In most cases where timing of revenue recognition significantly differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined that its contracts do not include a significant financing component. The Company elects the financing component practical expedient and does not adjust the promised amount of consideration in contracts where the time between cash collection and performance is less than one year. Members’ Service Retainers non-payment Contract Assets and Receivables Deferred Revenue Assets Recognized from the Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer underlying contract period if the Company expects to recover those costs. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract include only those costs the Company incurs to obtain a contract that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained. The costs associated with significant member referral fees are amortized over the underlying contract period, even if the contract term is less than twelve months. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis.
Leasing Arrangements			Leasing Arrangements Leases The Company has a significant portfolio of real estate leases entered into in connection with operating its business. The Company also leases certain equipment and has service contracts, including warehouse agreements, where we control identified assets, such as warehouse space, and therefore these arrangements represent embedded leases under ASC 842. The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company has made an accounting policy election to exempt leases with an initial term of 12 months or less from being recognized on the balance sheet. Short-term leases primarily relate to leases of office equipment and are not significant in comparison to the Company’s overall real estate portfolio. Payments related to those leases are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases with initial terms of greater than 12 months, the Company determines its classification as an operating or finance lease. At lease commencement, the Company recognizes a lease obligation and corresponding right-of-use The Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit discount rate. Therefore, management estimates the incremental borrowing rate used to discount the lease payments based on the information available at lease commencement. The Company utilized a model consistent with the credit quality for its outstanding debt instruments to estimate its specific incremental borrowing rates that align with applicable lease terms. Non-cancelable 10-20 right-of-use The Company’s leases may include base rent payments and rent payments that include escalation terms on the amount of base rent which may vary by market with examples including fixed-rent escalations or escalations based on an inflation index or other market adjustments. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate are included in lease payments and are measured using the prevailing index or rate at lease inception or the measurement date. Changes to the index or rate are recognized in the period of change. Most leases require the Company to pay common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other similar costs. Common area maintenance is considered a non-lease non-lease non-lease The Company expends cash for leasehold improvements and to build out and equip its leased locations. Generally, a portion of the cost of leasehold improvements is reimbursed to us by our landlords as a tenant improvement allowance. The Company may also receive a broker commission from the lessor for its role in identifying and negotiating certain of the Company’s leases. The Company recognizes lease incentives receivable relating to tenant improvement allowances and broker commissions receivable for its role in negotiating the Company’s leases, as a reduction of fixed lease payments at the lease commencement date, reducing the initial measurement of the lease obligation and right-of-use The Company also incurs certain costs in connection with obtaining or modifying a lease. Initial direct costs, or incremental costs of a lease that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained, are included in the initial and subsequent measurement of the right-of-use The Company evaluates its right-of-use Operating Lease Cost For leases that qualify as operating leases, the Company recognizes the associated fixed lease cost on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease beginning on the date of initial possession, which is generally when the Company enters the leased premises and begins to make improvements in preparation for its intended use. Cash payments made to landlords reduce the Company’s total lease obligation while the accretion of the lease obligation using the effective interest rate method, increases the liability over time. The difference between the total lease cost expensed on a straight-line basis and the accretion of the lease obligation over time using the effective interest rate method is recognized as a reduction to the lease right-of-use Variable lease cost includes any contingent rent payments based on percentages of revenue or other profitability metrics as defined in the lease, common area maintenance, the Company’s share of real estate taxes, or similar charges that are variable in nature. Variable lease costs are not included as lease payments in the calculation of the lease obligation and are included in variable lease costs as incurred and when probable. All cash payments for lease costs and cash receipts for lease incentives are included within operating activities in the statements of cash flows. Finance Lease Cost right-of-use In the statements of cash flows, cash payments associated with finance leases are allocated between financing cash flows, for the portion related to the reduction of the lease obligation, and operating cash flows for the portion representing interest expense.

Stock-Based Compensation	Stock Based Compensation non-employees non-employee The Company generally estimates the fair value of stock option awards granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula (the “Black-Scholes Model”) and a single option award approach. This model requires various significant judgmental assumptions in order to derive a final fair value determination for each type of award, including the expected term, expected volatility, expected dividend yield, risk-free interest rate, and fair value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The expected option term for options granted is calculated using the “simplified method.” This election was made based on the lack of sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term. The simplified method defines the expected term as the average of the contractual term and the vesting period. Estimated volatility is based on similar entities whose stock prices are publicly traded. The Company uses the historical volatilities of similar entities due to the lack of sufficient historical data for the Company’s common stock price. Dividend yields are based on the Company’s history and expected future actions. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the stock option award was granted with a maturity equal to the expected term of the stock option award. All grants of stock options generally have an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. In situations where the exercise price of a stock option is greater than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, the Company estimates the fair value of stock option awards granted using the binomial model. The binomial model incorporates assumptions regarding anticipated employee exercise behavior, expected stock price volatility, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate. Anticipated employee exercise behavior and expected post-vesting cancellations over the contractual term used in the binomial model are primarily based on historical exercise patterns. These historical exercise patterns indicate that exercise behavior between employee groups is not significantly different. For our expected stock price volatility assumption, the Company weights historical volatility and implied volatility and uses daily observations for historical volatility, while our implied volatility assumptions are based on actively traded options related to our common stock. The expected term is derived from the binomial model, based on assumptions incorporated into the binomial model as described above. The Company estimated the fair value of the WeWork Partnerships Profits Interest Units awards in connection with the modification of the original stock options using the Hull-White model and a binomial lattice model in order to apply appropriate weight and consideration of the associated distribution threshold and catch-up Because the Company is privately held and there is no public market for our stock, the fair value of the Company’s equity is approved by the Company’s Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee thereof as of the date stock-based awards are granted. In estimating the fair value of our stock, the Company uses a third-party valuation specialist and considers factors it believes are material to the valuation process, including but not limited to, the price at which recent equity was issued by the Company to independent third parties or transacted between third parties, actual and projected financial results, risks, prospects, economic and market conditions, and estimates of weighted average cost of capital. The Company believes the combination of these factors provides an appropriate estimate of the expected fair value of the Company and reflects the best estimate of the fair value of the Company’s common stock at each grant date. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures of stock-based compensation awards as they occur. For awards subject to performance conditions, no compensation cost will be recognized before the performance condition is probable of being achieved. Recognition of any compensation expense relating to stock grants that vest contingent on an initial public offering or “Acquisition” (as defined in the 2015 Plan detailed in Note 14) will be deferred until consummation of such initial public offering or Acquisition.

Equity Method and Other Investments			Equity Method and Other Investments influence over the operations of the investee. When the requirements for consolidation and significant influence are not met, the Company also uses the equity method of accounting to account for investments in limited partnerships and investments in limited liability companies that maintain specific ownership accounts unless the Company’s interest is so minor that the Company has virtually no influence over partnership operating and financial policies. Equity method investments are initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s share of net income or loss and cash contributions and distributions and are included in equity method and other investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method are measured at fair value, with any changes in fair value recognized in net income. For any such investments that do not have readily determinable fair values, the Company elects the measurement alternative to measure the investments at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Equity method investments are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If it is determined that a loss in value of the equity method investment is other than temporary, an impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the carrying amount of an investment over its estimated fair value. Impairment analyses are based on current plans, intended holding periods, and available information at the time the analysis is prepared. Certain of the Company’s investments in convertible notes are designated as available-for-sale When the fair value of an available-for-sale 2016-13 more-likely-than-not more-likely-than-not
Foreign Currency			Foreign Currency which the foreign entity primarily generates and expends cash. The Company remeasures monetary assets and liabilities that are not denominated in the functional currency at exchange rates in effect at the end of each period. Gains and losses from these remeasurements are recognized in foreign currency gain (loss) on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Foreign currency transactions resulted in net gains (losses) of $149.2 million, $29.7 million and $(78.6) million, for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and relate primarily to intercompany transactions that are not of a long-term investment nature. At each balance sheet reporting date, the Company translates the assets and liabilities of its non-U.S.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements non-financial available-for-sale Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining fair value measurements for assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company assumes the highest and best use of non-financial Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 See Note 11 for additional discussion on the Company’s fair value measurements.

When determining fair value measurements for assets and liabilities that are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company assumes the highest and best use of non-financial Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 See Note 16 for additional discussion on the Company’s fair value measurements.
Contingent Consideration			Contingent Consideration unobservable inputs, including the discount rate, the price of the Company’s stock, estimated probabilities and timing of achieving specified milestones and the estimated amount of future sales. Contingent consideration liabilities are remeasured to fair value at each subsequent reporting date until the related contingency is resolved. Changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities can result from changes to one or a number of inputs, including discount rates, the probabilities of achieving the milestones, the time required to achieve the milestones and estimated future sales. Significant judgment is employed in determining the appropriateness of these inputs. Changes to the inputs described above could have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations in any given period. Cash paid soon after the close of an acquisition is classified as a cash outflow from investing activities, while cash payments made after that time are classified as cash outflows from either financing or operating activities, depending on whether the amount paid is in excess of the contingent consideration recognized during the measurement period.

Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” approximate the carrying amounts represented in the condensed balance sheets. Fair Value Measurement Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers consist of: • Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets; • Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and • Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As of December 31, 2020, the carrying values of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, franchise tax payable and income tax payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company’s investments held in Trust Account are comprised of investments in U.S. Treasury securities with an original maturity of 185 days or less or investments in a money market funds that comprise only U.S. treasury securities and are recognized at fair value. The fair value of investments held in Trust Account is determined using quoted prices in active markets.

Derivative warrant liabilities	Derivative Warrant Liabilities The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued shares purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed The Company accounts for its warrants issued in connection with the Private Placement as derivative warrant liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement non-current
Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption	Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Shares of conditionally redeemable Class A common stock (including Class A common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of Class A common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 43,231,098 and 44,911,184 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Net Income (Loss) per Share of Common Stock	Net Income (Loss) per Share of Common Stock The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations include a presentation of income (loss) per share of Class A common stock subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class income (loss) per share. Net income per share of Class A common stock, basic and diluted, is calculated by dividing the investment income earned on the Trust Account, net of applicable franchise taxes, by the weighted average number of Class A common stock outstanding for the periods. Net loss per shares of Class B common stock, basic and diluted, is calculated by dividing the net loss, less income attributable to Class A common stock, by the weighted average number of Class B common stock outstanding for the periods. The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement since the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive. The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock: For the Three For the Six For the Period from Class A common stock Numerator: Net gain from investments held in Trust Account $ 12,297 $ 59,364 $ — Less: Company’s portion available to be withdrawn to pay taxes (12,297 ) (59,364 ) — Net income attributable to Class A common stock $ — $ — $ — Denominator: Weighted average shares outstanding of Class A common stock , basic and diluted 48,300,000 48,300,000 — Basic and diluted net income per share, Class A common stock $ — $ — $ — Class B common stock Numerator: Net loss $ (11,183,715 ) $ (16,800,861 ) $ (23,465 ) Less: Net income attributable to Class A common stock — — — Net loss attributable to Class B common stock $ (11,183,715 ) $ (16,800,861 ) $ (23,465 ) Denominator: Weighted average shares outstanding of Class B common stock, basic and diluted 12,075,000 12,075,000 10,500,000 Basic and diluted net loss per share, Class B common stock $ (0.93 ) $ (1.39 ) $ (0.00 )	Net Loss Per Common Share Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss applicable to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the IPO and Private Placement to purchase an aggregate of 23,873,333 shares of Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted earnings per common share is the same as basic earnings per common share for the period presented. The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of income per share for common stock subject to redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification, or FASB ASC, 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not	Income Taxes The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification, or FASB ASC, 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes.

[1]	Common area maintenance charges and real estate taxes, or “tenancy costs” are a non-lease component as defined in ASC 842. We have elected to not separate non-lease components in the determination of our lease obligation and therefore the costs associated with common area maintenance charges and real estate taxes billed in addition to our base rent, where applicable, have been included as a component of our total operating lease costs in 2019 and 2020. For comparability purposes, we have presented incremental common area maintenance charges and real estate taxes collectively, “tenancy costs”, contractually paid or payable, shown as a component of the total operating lease cost in all periods presented.
