WeWork, which earlier this month warned about its ability to stay afloat, added that the company's common shares will continue to trade on the NYSE.
It did not intend to appeal the NYSE's determination on its warrants - which are equity derivative that give the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell the shares at a certain price before expiration.
WeWork had received a non-compliance notice from the NYSE in April, as its stock closed below $1 on average over a consecutive 30 trading-day period.
In its efforts to regain listing compliance, WeWork last week had said it would proceed with a one-for-forty reverse stock split.
The company has been in turmoil ever since its plans to go public in 2019 imploded after investors recoiled at its hefty losses, corporate governance lapses and the management style of then founder-CEO Adam Neumann.
The company whose business model involves taking long-term leases and renting out spaces for a short-term could not turn in a profit till now.
