WeWork to proceed with 1-for-40 reverse stock split

This post was originally published on this site

WeWork shares had lost almost 98% of its value this year, approaching near-zero earlier in the month, after the company warned it could go bankrupt.

The reverse stock split is being implemented to increase the company’s per share trading price and to regain compliance with the $1.00 per share minimum closing price required to maintain continued listing on the New York Stock Exchange, WeWork said.

The reverse stock split will be effective at market close on September 1.
