(PPDF), a online consumer finance marketplace in China, said that it priced its initial public offering of 17 million American depositary shares at a price to the public of US$13.00 per ADS for a total offering size of about US$221 million, assuming the underwriters do not exercise their option to purchase additional ADSs. Each ADS represents five Class A ordinary share. The ADSs are expected to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange today under the symbol "PPDF."
