The company “intends to review the situation” and will consider restarting its IPO in the “near future,” without giving a reason for withdrawing, according to a statement on the Singapore Exchange Ltd.’s website yesterday. New Century, based in Jingjiang in southeastern China, was scheduled to sell 560 million shares at a maximum price of S$1.19 each today, the company’s prospectus and <leo_highlight style="border-bottom: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 150); background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; cursor: pointer; display: inline; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" id="leoHighlights_Underline_3" onclick="leoHighlightsHandleClick('leoHighlights_Underline_3')" onmouseover="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOver('leoHighlights_Underline_3')" onmouseout="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOut('leoHighlights_Underline_3')" leohighlights_keywords="bloomberg" leohighlights_url_top="http%3A//shortcuts.thebrowserhighlighter.com/leonardo/plugin/highlights/3_1/tbh_highlightsTop.jsp?keywords%3Dbloomberg%26domain%3Dwww.singsupplies.com" leohighlights_url_bottom="http%3A//shortcuts.thebrowserhighlighter.com/leonardo/plugin/highlights/3_1/tbh_highlightsBottom.jsp?keywords%3Dbloomberg%26domain%3Dwww.singsupplies.com" leohighlights_underline="true">Bloomberg</leo_highlight> data showed.

The IPO would have given New Century a market value of S$5.31 billion. The company initially sought as much as S$1.5 billion ($1.1 billion), two people with direct knowledge of the matter said last month. <leo_highlight style="border-bottom: 2px solid rgb(255, 255, 150); background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-repeat: repeat; background-attachment: scroll; background-position: 0% 50%; -moz-background-size: auto auto; cursor: pointer; display: inline; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" id="leoHighlights_Underline_4" onclick="leoHighlightsHandleClick('leoHighlights_Underline_4')" onmouseover="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOver('leoHighlights_Underline_4')" onmouseout="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOut('leoHighlights_Underline_4')" leohighlights_keywords="the%20original" leohighlights_url_top="http%3A//shortcuts.thebrowserhighlighter.com/leonardo/plugin/highlights/3_1/tbh_highlightsTop.jsp?keywords%3Dthe%2520original%26domain%3Dwww.singsupplies.com" leohighlights_url_bottom="http%3A//shortcuts.thebrowserhighlighter.com/leonardo/plugin/highlights/3_1/tbh_highlightsBottom.jsp?keywords%3Dthe%2520original%26domain%3Dwww.singsupplies.com" leohighlights_underline="true">The original</leo_highlight> amount in U.S. dollars would have been the largest ever by a Chinese company in Singapore, according to data compiled by <leo_highlight style="background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-repeat: repeat; background-attachment: scroll; background-position: 0% 0%; -moz-background-size: auto auto; cursor: pointer; display: inline; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" id="leoHighlights_Underline_5" onclick="leoHighlightsHandleClick('leoHighlights_Underline_5')" onmouseover="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOver('leoHighlights_Underline_5')" onmouseout="leoHighlightsHandleMouseOut('leoHighlights_Underline_5')" leohighlights_keywords="bloomberg" leohighlights_url_top="http%3A//shortcuts.thebrowserhighlighter.com/leonardo/plugin/highlights/3_1/tbh_highlightsTop.jsp?keywords%3Dbloomberg%26domain%3Dwww.singsupplies.com" leohighlights_url_bottom="http%3A//shortcuts.thebrowserhighlighter.com/leonardo/plugin/highlights/3_1/tbh_highlightsBottom.jsp?keywords%3Dbloomberg%26domain%3Dwww.singsupplies.com" leohighlights_underline="false">Bloomberg</leo_highlight>.

UBS AG of Zurich was hired to lead the sale.

New Century shelved the offering as concern the European sovereign-debt crisis is spreading to Spain and Portugal roiled equity markets. Moscow-based UralChem Holding Plc and Grupo T- Solar Global SA of Madrid have postponed IPOs, and companies from Excel Trust Inc. in San Diego to Milwaukee-based Douglas Dynamics Inc. have reduced initial sales in the past two weeks.
