BATS Global Markets, Inc. (“BATS”) today announced it has withdrawn its planned initial public offering (IPO), which was scheduled to close on March 28, 2012.
“Although our affected market has reopened, in the wake of today’s technical issues, which affected the trading of certain stocks, including that of BATS, we believe withdrawing the IPO is the appropriate action to take for our Company and our shareholders,” said Joe Ratterman, chairman, president and CEO of BATS Global Markets.
