BATS IPO Prices at Low End of Expected Range
Exchange operator BATS Global Markets debuted on the public market at $16 a share, the low end of the range the company predicted in its most recent prospectus.

The firm added that one of its stockholders granted the underwriters on the deal a 30-day option to buy up to an additional 944,524 shares.
BATS said its stock floatation makes nearly 6.3 million shares of Class A common stock available to the public.
