Alibaba delists Alibaba.com (1688.com) from the Hong Kong main board.

Alibaba, which held 73.12 percent of the site, buys back the remaining 26.88 percent from shareholders at HK$13.50 each, involving as much as HK$19.6 billion.

Alibaba had been in talks with the Hong Kong exchange's listing panel to establish a system whereby founder Jack Ma and other top executives could nominate most of the company's board and submit the proposed directors' slate to shareholders for a vote.

The disagreement between the two sides leads Alibaba to call off its IPO plan in Hong Kong in early October.
