Online Bookseller Alibris Pulls Auction-Style IPO

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on May 24, 2004 - 7:36am.
Emeryville, Calif. -- Alibris, an online marketplace for books, music and movies, on Friday pulled its auction-based initial public offering, saying that the IPO did not produce prices attractive to the company. Alibris said that it plans to rely on recently acquired private capital fund operations through profitability. "We did not find attractive the prices offered by the public market," said Marty Manley, the CEO of Alibris. The company, which filed for the IPO in early March, said that it does not expect to seek additional financing. Emeryville, Calif.-based Alibris was relying on a process that relies upon an auction among interested investors to set the opening price and allocate shares of a company's stock. "This process can work, if well-executed by investment banking professionals," said Manley. "An auction that attracts fewer bidders is less likely to result in an attractive price."
