SpacBrain’s read

Trust settled

The deal closed — SPAC shares became the target's shares, so there is no trust left to redeem (nobody missed a window; holders who wanted cash elected it at the vote).


In plain terms

What it is
A SPAC, listed on Nasdaq in August 2020.
What it's doing now
It agreed to buy WeWork Inc., a flexible coworking office space company. That purchase completed, and it stopped being a SPAC — the shares became shares in the business it bought.
What you should know
This SPAC has finished. The purchase completed, and the shares became shares in the company it bought — anyone who wanted the cash instead asked for it at the vote, so there is no cash left here to claim and no deadline left to miss.

Cash held per sharenot filed for this window

This vehicle has finished, so there is no window to file a cash-per-share figure for and none will follow. No estimate is shown in its place.

Next date that mattersno dated event on file

Nothing dated is on file. That is an absence in the record, not a statement that nothing is coming.

Yield to redemption

Nothing left to redeem — no yield to compute.

This SPAC has finished — its trust was paid back or used to close the deal, so there is nothing left to redeem and no yield to compute. A yield to redemption is a claim that you can hand these shares back for the trust cash. That account is closed, so this page will not print a number here.

The score

deterministic, from filed fields

BOWX is not in the scored universe, so no score is shown. A withheld score is a fact about the record, not a verdict about the company.

Asymmetric return scoreNeither a price nor a cash-per-share figure is on file for this vehicle, and the score is a ratio between the two. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.

The score is only published for names that carry both a price and a filed cash-per-share figure — 295 of the tracked fleet today. The rest keep an empty dial rather than a modelled one, and fill in by themselves as the fields land.

The company

from SEC filings
Read the full profile

BowX Acquisition Corp. was a blank-check company whose common stock traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker BOWX. The company priced its initial public offering on August 6, 2020, pursuant to a 424B4 prospectus filed under SEC file number 333-239941 and S-1 registration statement 0001213900-20-017847, which was originally filed on July 17, 2020. The registrant self-described itself as a blank check company in that prospectus, and the SEC classified it under SIC industry code 6512, operators of nonresidential buildings. BowX Acquisition Corp. completed a business combination and no longer files as a separate vehicle, as established by an 8-K filed on October 26, 2021 (accession 0001193125-21-308162) reporting a change in shell company status under item 5.06; EDGAR now files the company's CIK 0001813756 under the name WeWork Inc.


Material findings

from the full read of every filing

Every document this company files gets read whole — body and exhibits. These are the ones the read flagged as material, newest first, each citing its filing.

  • Two dates on this document cannot both be right against what we hold. Its own cover says 'The date of this prospectus is June 12, 2023', and the same cover quotes the last reported sale price 'On June 29, 2023' as $0.184 - a price seventeen days after the document dates itself, in a row whose stored filedAt is 13 June 2023. Either the stored filing date belongs to a different version or the local text is not the as-filed document. Flagged for review; it needs an EDGAR check this lane could not make. The shares registered come from debt exchange offers, not from the SPAC.

  • The filing explains that this table uses the exact expected exchange ratio as of September 14, 2021 — 0.8256655 to seven decimal places — rather than the 0.8257 rounded to four places used elsewhere in the same registration statement, so two different ratios coexist in one document by design. Separately, approximately 19,925,434 shares of Class C common stock are expected to go to WeWork stockholders and are not in the registered count. A $21,537.79 aggregate against 646,133,747 shares is plainly not a valuation; the counts are the usable content.

  • The filing is explicit that two different exchange ratios appear in the same document: the fee table uses the exact expected ratio of 0.8253696, carried to seven decimal places, while a ratio rounded to 0.8254 is used elsewhere in the registration statement. A reader reconciling share counts between sections will not get the same answer from both. The 87,830,495 shares of option and award overhang are registered alongside the merger consideration, and the offering price remains a par-value construct rather than a valuation.

  • The registered 646,521,155 is much larger than the 558,230,678 Class A shares expected at closing because it also carries shares underlying or exchangeable for unvested and unexercised stock options, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards and warrants. A separate 19,919,026 shares of Class C common stock go to WeWork stockholders and are outside the Class A count entirely, as are WeWork partnerships profits interest units — so no single number in this filing is the whole issuance.

  • The $254,390 is a Rule 457(f)(2) construct — WeWork is private, no market exists for its securities and it has an accumulated deficit, so the price is one-third of the aggregate par value of the securities exchanged, which is how a 655,300,000-share registration costs $27.75. The usable figures are the counts: approximately 558,465,400 Class A shares and 19,928,680 Class C shares are expected to go to WeWork stockholders at closing, before any shares underlying unvested or unexercised options, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, warrants and profits interest units.

  • 655,300,000 shares is the ceiling on issuance and it expressly includes WeWork securities convertible into WeWork capital stock, so that convertible overhang sits inside the figure rather than on top of it. The $254,390 offering price is a Rule 457(f)(2) construct rather than a valuation — WeWork is private, no market exists for its securities and it has an accumulated deficit — which is why a transaction of this size carries a registration fee of $27.75. The proxy statement/prospectus remains preliminary and subject to completion.

Show 1 more material filings
  • That deemed $10.00 is what produces the headline: the filing equates 655,300,000 shares to a pre-transaction equity value of WeWork of approximately $7.927 billion. For fee purposes the same shares are priced at one-third of par value under Rule 457(f)(2) — $254,390 in aggregate, a fee of $27.75 — because WeWork is a private company with no market for its securities and an accumulated deficit. A PIPE of 80,000,000 shares at $10.00, $800,000,000 in all, closes alongside, and its proceeds plus whatever remains in the trust are retained by the combined company.

In plain English

tap a term to open it

Every piece of jargon this page could have used, and what it actually means.

Open the plain-English guide
No floor / floorlessthe cash guarantee is gone — the price is unprotected

A SPAC's downside protection is not the cash in trust; it is your right to demand that cash. Once the redemption window closes, the cash stays with the company and the share can trade anywhere.

Redemption deadlinethe last day to hand shares back for cash

Set by the filing that calls the meeting. Tender after it and the company is under no obligation to pay you the trust value.

Broker action datethe day your broker needs the instruction — earlier than the official date

Brokers batch redemption instructions to the transfer agent, so the practical cutoff is roughly two business days before the published deadline. This is the date that actually costs people the floor.

Cash in trust / trust per sharethe cash the company is holding for each public share

Filed quarterly in the 10-Q's XBRL. It earns interest between filings, so the figure on a given day is slightly higher than the last filed one — where we show that we label it an estimate.

Trust discountbuying below the cash held for you

Only meaningful while a redemption right exists. On a floorless name the same arithmetic is not a discount, it is the market pricing distress, and this product will not call it a yield.

Dilutionhow much of the company new shares take from you

Sponsor promote, PIPE shares, warrants and rights all issue stock that did not pay $10 for it. The headline deal value is before that; the effective value is after.

Pro-forma equitywhat the company is valued at once the deal closes

The combined company's equity value assuming the announced terms and the redemptions that have actually happened.

ARShow much upside you get per unit of downside

SpacBrain's asymmetric-return score. It is deterministic — the same inputs always produce the same number — and it is capped, not zeroed, when the floor is gone.

De-SPACthe day the SPAC becomes the real company

The shares stop being a claim on a pot of cash and start being equity in an operating business. Roughly 80% of recent de-SPACs traded below $10 within a year.

Outside datethe contractual long-stop for closing the deal

A deadline between the SPAC and its target, not between the SPAC and you. It confers no right to cash, which is exactly why it must never be counted as a redemption window.

Accession numberthe SEC's unique id for one filing

Every figure on this page carries the accession of the filing that states it, so you can open the primary document rather than trust us.

Accreted NAV (estimate)the last filed cash figure, plus the interest it should have earned since

A model, not a filing: last filed value compounded at the 3-month T-bill for the days elapsed. Always shown in italic with the word estimate, and never printed beside a filed number without it.

UNIVERSE-IPO-INDEX2026-08-17

admitted from EDGAR's QUARTERLY FORM INDEX, walked without any SIC filter. The SIC 6770 census could not reach this registrant: EDGAR reassigns a shell's SIC the day it stops being one, and this CIK now files under 6512 (Opeators of Nonresidential Buildings). The screen found it by filing SHAPE instead — S-1 2020-07-17 → 8-A12B 2020-08-03 → 424B4 2020-08-06 — which nothing rewrites. Admission rule: src/lib/universe-admit.ts. SIC 6512 + self-described blank check in 424B4 0001213900-20-020580; 424B 0001213900-20-020580 priced 2020-08-06 under S-1 0001213900-20-017847 (file 333-239941, an offering for cash); common ticker BOWX off 10-Q 0001193125-21-242603 (2021-08-11); lifecycle EXITED. The pricing prospectus was filed under SEC file number 333-239941, which belongs to S-1 0001213900-20-017847 (2020-07-17) — a registration of shares sold for CASH, which is what makes it an IPO rather than merger consideration. Blank-check status from the registrant's own first-person sentence in that prospectus (EDGAR full-text search, 424B4 2020-08-06). Ending PROVEN, not inferred: CLOSED per 8-K 0001193125-21-308162 (2021-10-26) — 8-K item 5.06 "Change in Shell Company Status" (EDGAR item index, items: 1.01,2.01,3.02,3.03,5.01,5.02,5.06,7.01,9.01). EDGAR now files this CIK as "WeWork Inc." — the SPAC's own name is kept here and the successor is the target. ipoSizeM and deadline left NULL: gross-proceeds prose conflates the over-allotment with the offering, and a charter deadline belonging to a vehicle that has ended is a date nobody can act on. ipoDate is the 424B pricing date.
