BATS Files To Go Public

BATS Global Markets Inc. filed for an initial public offering with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission yesterday, the exchange operator's second attempt to go public.

In the regulatory filing, BATS said it would raise up to USD100 million in its IPO. 

The company withdrew its IPO in 2012 following a SNAFU which resulted in the company's stock briefly trading for less than a penny. 

BATS will list its shares on its own exchange under the ticker symbol BZX.
