繼Uber之後美股市場第二大IPO?傳WeWork祕密向SEC提交IPO檔案
【獵雲網(微信:)北京】4月30日報道
據外媒報道,全球最大的共創空間WeWork週一透露,正在籌備上市,已經向 SEC 祕密提交 IPO 檔案。WeWork或將成為今年美股市場繼Uber之後的第二大IPO。
自2010年誕生以來,WeWork已經募集了120億美元的資金,其中多數資金來自軟銀。2018年11月,據路透社報道,根據路透社的一份投資者報告顯示,美國共享辦公空間提供商WeWork Cos已從日本軟銀集團公司獲得30億美元的新增投資。這筆最新的資金是以權證的形式支付。軟銀將在1月15日向WeWork支付15億美元,其餘的將在4月15日支付。
在外媒一則報道中,WeWork母公司2018年收入為18億美元,淨虧損19億美元,2017年的收入為8.86億美元,淨虧損9.33億美元。
以下是以下為WeWork創始人 Neumann給員工的信:
大家好,
這個星期我一直在和我的家人和親密的朋友慶祝我的生日。這是一個機會,讓我反思生命中一些最有意義的時刻:在以色列長大,遇見了我的妻子和伴侶麗貝卡,我孩子的出生,與米格爾和麗貝卡合作創辦了WeWork。
從第一天開始,我們公司的目標就一直是創造不同,影響儘可能多的人,創造一個人們創造生活而不僅僅是生活的世界。我們一直專注於如何將我們的業務提升到一個新的水平。作為保留所有選擇的一部分,我們在去年12月祕密向美國證券交易委員會(sec)提交了一份S-1註冊宣告草案。經過深思熟慮,上週我們決定對我們提交的檔案提交第一修正案,這是讓我們決定成為一家上市公司的一步。作為此次旅程的合作伙伴,我有必要親自與你們分享這一資訊,並再次感謝你們的合作,使我們走到了這一步。
雖然這個過程限制了我們溝通這個話題的能力,但是我們會盡我們最大的努力在我們可以的時候更新給你。我沒有一個確切的日期或時間表與您分享,但我希望您首先知道這個過程已經開始。
部分原因是科技,部分原因是我們所處的時代,這個世界從未感到如此渺小,但卻有越來越多的人感到孤獨。作為世界上最大的物理網路之一,我們有責任在如何照顧彼此和地球的問題上發揮帶頭作用,為人民和企業樹立全球榜樣。
感謝你們所有人的辛勤工作和對我們使命的奉獻。
真誠地,亞當

Hello everyone, This week I have been celebrating my birthday with family and close friends. It has been an opportunity to reflect on some of the most meaningful moments in my life: growing up in Israel, meeting my wife and partner Rebekah, the birth of my children, and collaborating with Miguel and Rebekah to found WeWork.From the first day, the goal of our company has always been about making a difference, impacting as many people as possible, and creating a world where people make a life and not just a living. We have regularly focused on how to take our business to the next level in every aspect. As part of keeping all options open, we confidentially filed a draft S-1 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in December. After a lot of thought, last week we decided to file the first amendment to our submission, which is a step towards allowing us to decide to become a public company. As partners on this journey, it is important for me to personally share this information with you and again thank you for your collaboration in getting us to this point.While this process restricts our ability to communicate about this topic, we will do our very best to update you when we can. I do not have an exact date or timeline to share with you, but I wanted you to know first that this process has started. Partly due to technology and partly due to the times we live in, the world has never felt smaller and yet more people than ever are sharing that they feel alone. As one of the world’s largest physical networks, it is our responsibility to help lead the way and set the global example for people and corporations on how we should take care of each other and of our planet. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication to our mission.Sincerely,Adam
