In a bold move, Adam Neumann, the ousted co-founder of WeWork (OTC:WEWKQ), has launched a substantial bid to take back the company he was once pushed out of. The audacious offer exceeds $500 million, signaling Neumann’s unwavering interest in the co-working space provider that is currently navigating through bankruptcy.
What Happened: Neumann has placed a bid exceeding $500 million to buy the bankrupt co-working giant, insiders reveal. The financing details for the acquisition remain undisclosed, The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.
This move comes as Neumann attempts to regain control over WeWork, a company he was forced to leave five years prior. Previously, Neumann had expressed interest in a bid alongside Dan Loeb’s Third Point hedge fund, but Third Point is not involved in the current offer.
WeWork, once valued at $47 billion, filed for Chapter 11 in November and is working towards restructuring to exit bankruptcy as a profitable entity. The company has been in negotiations to reduce operating costs by renegotiating leases, although progress has been slow.

Neumann’s February letter criticized the current management’s inability to secure financial support during bankruptcy. He claimed difficulties in obtaining the necessary information for a bid, stating his approach to the company began as early as December. WeWork has indicated plans to transfer control to its creditors post-restructuring.
Why It Matters: The saga of Neumann’s involvement with WeWork has been a rollercoaster, marked by his pressured resignation in 2019. Despite this, Neumann has shown a persistent interest in reclaiming his position at the helm of the company, as evidenced by his earlier collaboration with investors and Third Point to acquire WeWork out of Chapter 11.
Further intensifying his bid, Neumann enlisted the legal services of a lawyer known for representing Elon Musk. This move underscores his determination to navigate the complex legal landscape of the acquisition.
Meanwhile, SoftBank Group Corp, a key investor in WeWork, announced in February that it had written off its entire investment in the company in the fourth quarter of 2023. This decision came despite SoftBank posting its first profitable quarter in five years, largely due to a tech rebound and gains from T-Mobile shares.
