**PART III — NARRATIVE** 

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

WeWork Inc. ("**WeWork**" or the "**Company**") is filing this Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 with respect to its Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the "**Form 10-K**"). The Company has determined that it is unable to file its Form 10-K within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense for the reasons set forth below.

The Company expects to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K on or before Friday, March 31, 2023, which is within the 15-calendar day extension provided by Rule 12b-25.

***Reasons for Delay***

As described in more detail in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "**SEC**") on March 17, 2023, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries have entered into a transaction support agreement and other related agreements with certain of the Company's investors and creditors to restructure its debt and raise additional capital through various transactions (collectively, the "**Transactions**"). The negotiations with respect to the Transactions have involved significant resources and have been a priority for management, thereby diverting significant management time and internal resources from the Company's processes to review and complete its financial statements and related disclosures in a manner that would permit a timely filing of the Form 10-K.

***Forward-Looking Statements***

Certain statements made herein may be deemed "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, including any statements regarding the Transactions. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words "believe," "project," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "strategy," "future," "opportunity," "plan," "pipeline," "may," "should," "will," "would," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Although WeWork believes the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statement are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be attained, and it is possible that actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the terms of the Transactions, which are highly uncertain, WeWork's ability to complete the Transactions on the terms contemplated or at all; WeWork's ability to obtain the required stockholder approvals for the Transactions; WeWork's ability to otherwise refinance, extend, restructure or repay outstanding debt; its outstanding indebtedness; its current and projected liquidity needs to operate its business and execute its strategy, and related use of cash; its ability to raise capital through equity issuances, asset sales or the incurrence of debt; WeWork's expectations regarding its ability to continue as a going concern; retail and credit market conditions; higher cost of capital and borrowing costs; impairments; changes in general economic conditions, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the conflict in Ukraine and disruptions in the banking sector, and the impact of such conditions on WeWork and its customers; WeWork's expectations regarding its exits of underperforming locations, including the timing of any such exits and ability to retain its members; delays in customers and prospective customers returning to the office and taking occupancy, or changes in the preferences of customers and prospective customers with respect to remote or hybrid working, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a parallel delay, or potentially permanent change, in receiving the corresponding revenue; the impact of foreign exchange rates on WeWork's financial performance; and WeWork's inability to implement its business plan or meet or exceed its financial projections. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. WeWork discusses these and other risks and uncertainties in its annual and quarterly periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC. WeWork undertakes no duty or obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise, except as required by law.
