WeWork is moving forward with a 1-for-40 reverse stock split in a bid to maintain its listing on the New York Stock Exchange. The NYSE issued a notice to the workspace-sharing company in the spring after shares closed below an average of $1 over a 30-day trading span. The value of company shares have plunged since their flashy debut in 2021 and tumbled 21% at the opening bell Friday, to 12 cents apiece. Earlier this month WeWork warned there...

NEW YORK (AP) — WeWork has sounded the alarm on its ability to stay in business, prompting speculation around the future of the troubled workspace-sharing company. Last week, WeWork warned there was “substantial doubt” about the New York-based company’s “ability to continue as a going concern” — which is accounting-speak for having the resources needed to operate and stay in business. WeWork pointed to increased member churn, financial losses and the company’s need for cash, among other factors, over...

SALZBURG, Austria (AP) — The opera world is split in two: European regietheater productions reinvent works in ways composers never imagined, while traditional stagings favored in the U.S. and parts of Italy are condemned by some cognoscenti as passé. Martin Kušej’s vision of Mozart’s “Le Nozze di Figaro” at the Salzburg Festival includes cocaine-fueled fights, a predator priest, a nearly naked hooker and a basement garage rave. Damiano Michieletto transforms Verdi’s “Aida” at Munich’s Bavarian State Opera into an...

JARYLOWKA, Poland (AP) — Poland’s defense minister said Saturday that the country has increased the number of troops protecting its border with Belarus as a deterrent amid “destabilizing” actions by its pro-Russian neighbor.
