Cathay Industrial Biotech, a Chinese company that produces chemicals by fermentation, has dropped plans to list its stock in the U.S. by means of American Depositary Shares. HBM BioVentures, a Swiss private equity fund that invested $28 million in Cathay, says Cathay decided to halt the listing process because of poor conditions in global stock markets.
