Statement on Schedule 13D
This Amendment No. 3 (this Amendment) to the Statement on Schedule 13D originally filed by the Reporting Persons on November 1, 2021 (as amended from time to time, the Schedule 13D) relates to the beneficial ownership of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Common Stock), of Wework Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Issuer or the Company). This Schedule 13D is being filed by Benchmark Capital Partners VII (AIV), L.P. (BCP AIV), Benchmark Founders Fund VII, L.P. (BFF VII), Benchmark Founders Fund VII-B, L.P. (BFF VII-B), Benchmark Capital Management Co. VII, L.L.C. (BCMC VII), Matthew R. Cohler, Bruce W. Dunlevie, Peter H. Fenton, J. William Gurley, Kevin R. Harvey, and Mitchell H. Lasky.
| ITEM 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
| (a) | See Rows 11 and 13 for each Reporting Person. The percentage listed in Row 13 for each Reporting Person was calculated based upon 2,110,280,756 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of August 7, 2023, as reported in the Issuers Annual Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 8, 2023. |
| (b) | See Rows 7, 8, 9, and 10 for each Reporting Person. |
| (c) | Information with respect to all transactions in the shares of Class A Common Stock effected within the last 60 days by the Reporting Persons is set forth in Annex I of this Schedule 13D. |
| (d) | Not applicable. |
| (e) | As previously disclosed, BCP AIV, for itself and as nominee for BFF VII and BFF VII-B, are a party to that certain Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement dated May 5, 2023 by and among the Issuer, SVF Endurance (Cayman) Limited (SVF 1) and SVF II WW Holdings (Cayman) Limited (together with SVF 1, the Other Parties). Following the transactions reported in Item 5(c) above, BCP AIV no longer has the right to designate a nominee to the Issuers board of directors under the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, and as such, the Reporting Persons on this Schedule 13D no longer may be deemed to be members of a group, as defined in Rule 13d-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with the Other Parties. |
