WeWork 董事会欲反击软银 要求完成要约收购

网易科技讯 3 月 23 日消息,据国外媒体报道,美国共享办公服务供应商 WeWork 董事会特别委员会准备采取措施对日本软银集团进行反击,声称软银应当完成对该公司员工和股东承诺的要约收购。

当地时间上周日,WeWork 董事会特别委员会在一份声明中表示,「软银不仅有义务完成《主交易协议》中规定的要约收购,而且他们在试图不履行义务时提出的借口是不诚实的。」

软银回应称,如果 WeWork 有重大责任,它仍可能退出收购要约。软银还表示,该收购要约对软银推动 WeWork 发展的承诺以及软银的财务实力没有影响。

软银已经通知股东,在完成要约收购之前,必须满足所有商定的条件。软银一位女发言人表示,「但截止现在,这些商定的条件并没有满足。」

路透社上周二报道称,软银正在考虑退出以 30 亿美元购买 WeWork 另外股份的计划,因为软银觉得这家办公空间共享服务公司没有满足这笔交易的条件。(天门山)
Netease technology news on March 23, according to foreign media reports, the special committee of the board of directors of Wework, an American shared office service provider, is ready to take measures to fight back against Softbank group of Japan, claiming that Softbank should complete the tender offer of the company’s employees and shareholders.
In a statement on Sunday local time, the special committee of the board of directors of Wework said, “Softbank is not only obliged to complete the tender offer stipulated in the master transaction agreement, but also their excuses when trying to fail to fulfill their obligations are dishonest. “
Softbank responded that if Wework has significant responsibility, it may still withdraw from the offer. Softbank also said the offer had no impact on Softbank’s commitment to promote the development of Wework and Softbank’s financial strength.
Softbank has informed shareholders that all agreed conditions must be met before the tender offer can be completed. “But up to now, these agreed conditions have not been met,” said a Softbank spokeswoman. “
On Tuesday, Reuters reported that Softbank was considering withdrawing from its plan to buy another stake in Wework for $3 billion because it felt the office space sharing service company did not meet the terms of the deal. (Tianmen Mountain)
