WANTCHINATIMES - June 26 - Momo, a Chinese dating app, has decided to delist from NASDAQ, just after half a year of trading on the marketplace. This comes despite the fact it will waste its investments in the share listing, including $110M of tangible cost. The cost includes $17.4M of commission paid to underwriters and $4.3M in consulting fees, not to mention the annual fee charged by NASDAQ which amounts to $1.61-1.76M a year, compared with the $308.4M in fresh fund it raised from its IPO. "We intend to keep Momo as a startup, rather than a public company," said Tang Yian, founder and CEO of Momo, adding that going public would hamper the company's capability to take risks for new ventures.
