Cloudary, the largest online literature publishing platform in China, announced to withdraw IPO application documents upon requests from the U.S. SEC., for files havenโ€™t been updated for more than a year (via Sina Finance).

The online literature business of Shanda filed with the SEC in May 2011 to raise up to $200 million on the NYSE. The application documents were updated once in May 2012. Citing capital market downturn, Cloudary didnโ€™t think the time was right to go IPO.

Cloudary later raised two rounds of funding, $15 million from Orbis and, most recently, $110 million from Goldman Sachs and Temasek.
