As quoted by Bloomberg:
The Nanjing-based maker of cancer drugs delayed the offering on Shenzhen’s ChiNext board until an unspecified date because the sale would have been “relatively large,” it said in a statement to the exchange dated today. The sale valued Aosaikang at 67 times 2012 earnings compared with the average 55.3 times for ChiNext-listed drugmakers, the company said, citing Shenzhen Securities Information Co. data.
