Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed, on November 6, 2023, WeWork Inc.

The Chapter 11 Cases are jointly administered under the caption “In re WeWork Inc., et al.”

Debtor‑in‑Possession Credit Agreement

On December 19, 2023, following approval by the Bankruptcy Court (the “DIP Order”), WeWork Companies U.S. LLC (the “Borrower”) and certain other Debtors entered into a senior secured first priority debtor‑in‑possession “last out” term loan C facility in an aggregate principal amount of $671.2 million (the “Term Loans” and such facility, the “Junior TLC Facility”) and a senior secured first priority cash collateralized debtor‑in‑possession “first out” letter of credit facility in an aggregate principal amount, plus any unreimbursed drawings thereunder, not to exceed, in the case of Goldman Sachs International Bank (“Goldman Sachs”), $370.0 million and, in the case of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”), $280.0 million at any time outstanding (the “Senior LC Facility” and, together with the Junior TLC Facility, the “DIP Facilities”), pursuant to a senior secured debtor‑in‑possession credit agreement (the “DIP Credit Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan, each as an Issuing Bank, Softbank Vision Fund II‑2 L.P. (“SVF II”), as the Junior TLC Facility Lender, Goldman Sachs, as Senior LC Facility Administrative Agent and Shared Collateral Agent, JPMorgan, as an additional collateral agent, and SVF II as the Junior TLC Facility Administrative Agent. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8‑K (this “Report”) shall have the meanings given to them in the DIP Credit Agreement attached as an exhibit to this Report and incorporated herein by reference.

The Letters of Credit under the Senior LC Facility will be used for purposes permitted by orders of the Bankruptcy Court and the DIP Credit Agreement, including for working capital needs and general corporate purposes, and the Term Loans will be used to cash fund LC Cash Collateral to support the Senior LC Facility.

The maturity date of the Junior TLC Facility (the “Junior TLC Facility Maturity Date”) is the earliest of (i) the Senior LC Facility Date of Full Satisfaction, (ii) July 17, 2024 (or such later date as the Junior TLC Facility Lender may agree in its sole discretion), (iii) the date on which the Term Loans have been voluntarily prepaid by the Borrower pursuant to, and in accordance with, the DIP Credit Agreement and (iv) the date on which all Junior TLC Facility Credit Document Obligations have been accelerated pursuant to, and in accordance with, the DIP Credit Agreement.

The maturity date of the Senior LC Facility is the earliest of (i) July 16, 2024, unless earlier terminated or extended for a one-month period, subject to certain conditions set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement, (ii) the effective date of a Plan of Reorganization or liquidation in the Chapter 11 Cases, (iii) the consummation of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the WeWork Group Members pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, (iv) the date of termination of any Issuing Bank’s Issuing Commitments and the acceleration of any obligations under the Senior LC Facilities Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereunder, (v) dismissal of the Chapter 11 Cases or conversion of any of the Chapter 11 Cases into a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and (vi) the occurrence of the Junior TLC Facility Maturity Date.

Interest shall not be payable on any drawing paid under any Letter of Credit or any other Senior LC Facility Credit Agreement Obligations that is reimbursed with LC Cash Collateral. If a drawing is not repaid with LC Cash Collateral as a result of insufficient LC Cash Collateral or otherwise reimbursed within one business day of the Borrower’s receipt of notice, then interest will accrue on the reimbursement obligation at the ABR. The Junior TLC Facility will accrue a running fee on the outstanding principal amount thereof in accordance with the RSA, and both the Junior TLC Facility Credit Document Obligations and the Senior LC Facility Credit Agreement Obligations under the DIP Credit Agreement will be subject to an additional 2.00% of interest per annum during the period in which any principal of, or interest on, any loan or reimbursement obligation or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower in respect of such Junior TLC Facility Credit Document Obligations or Senior LC Facility Credit Agreement Obligations, as applicable, is not paid when due.

The DIP Credit Agreement includes customary conditions precedent, representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default for financings of this type and size. The Borrower’s obligations under the DIP Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain other Debtors that are material domestic subsidiaries of the Borrower and are secured by a security interest in, and lien on, substantially all property (subject to certain exceptions) of the Borrower and such subsidiary guarantors, including the LC Cash Collateral. The DIP Credit Agreement also contains customary covenants that limit the ability of the Borrower and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional subordinated or junior indebtedness, permit liens to exist on their assets and sell assets. These covenants are subject to exceptions and qualifications as set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement.

The foregoing description of the DIP Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the DIP Credit Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
