"A bit over a quarter of Alibaba.com’s [China’s biggest internet firm] shares are publicly traded, and the firm is buying out those unhappy investors for HK$13.50 ($1.74) per share. That matches the offer price of the firm’s initial public offering in 2007, and is roughly 46% higher than the last closing price two weeks ago, when trading in the firm’s shares was halted."
