    2017考研英语拓展阅读：奇虎360正式从美国纽交所退市
    Qihoo 360 Technology Co. Ltd. is to be de-listed from the New York Stock
Exchange next Monday, one month earlier than a previously expected mid-August
closing date for the private equity-backed take-private transaction, according
to Chinese media reports.
    据中国媒体报道：奇虎360下周一将从美国纽交所退市，比先前预计的八月中旬早一个月的时间，完成了私有化交易。
    The departure from the New York bourse will mark the end of a 13-months
process to complete the largest take-private deal of a U.S.-listed Chinese
company.
    离开纽交所标志着，在美上市的中国公司为期13个月、最大规模的私有化交易完成。
    Back in June 2015, Qihoo 360 received a preliminary non-binding proposal
from its founder and a group of investors to take it private in a deal that
values the Chinese software firm at approximately US$9.3 billion.
    追溯到2015年6月份，奇虎360收到来自创始人和一众投资者的初步非约束性私有化要约，这使这家中国软件公司的市值达到93亿美元。
    Rumors soon emerged that the buyers, including chief executive Zhou Hongyi,
CITIC Securities Co. Ltd., Golden Brick Capital Private Equity Fund I, China
Renaissance Holdings Limited, and Sequoia Capital China I might lower their
offering price as the Chinese stock market crashed last summer.
    谣言瞬间四起：包括公司董事长周鸿祎、中信证券、华兴资本、金砖丝路资本控股(深圳)有限公司、红杉资本在内的买家，或因去年夏天中国股市的崩盘，而降低报价。
    But investors held on to their original proposal, offering US$77 per
American Depository Share (ADS) in cash, a premium of 16.6% to the company’s
last closing price before the announcement.
    但是投资者们依然坚持最初提案，以每股美国存托股77美元的现金价出售，溢价16.6%，这是该公司在此公告之前的最后一次收盘价。
    Qihoo 360 raised US$175 million via an initial public offering in 2011,
selling 12 million shares at US$14.5 per share.
    奇虎360，2011首次公开发行上市，以每股14.5美元出售1200万股，共筹集了1亿7500万美元。
