In a statement filed with the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the company said domestic capital markets are volatile and the time is not right to pursue a share issue. "The company will not at this stage, at least within the 6 months from the date of this announcement, consider to proceed with the application in relation to the proposed issue of A-shares," it said. Ping An originally sought to issue 1.2 billion A-shares and 41.2 billion yuan ($5.88 billion) worth of six-year bonds with warrants early in the year, which raised fears about the share supply situation and triggered a massive selloff. On Wednesday, market rumors said Ping An was reviving its fund-raising plan as market sentiment improves. Following the rumors, both the company's A- and H-shares, as well as the domestic stock market, tumbled sharply. A-shares of Ping An Insurance rose 0.67 percent to 62.68 yuan yesterday after the company's spokesman denied the rumors. But its H-shares fell 3.47 percent to HK$69.5 ($8.92).
