Lotte Chemical downsizes IPO after weak reaction

Lotte Chemical Titan wrapped up its Malaysia initial public offering two days later than scheduled on Tuesday, as price sensitivity among investors forced the petrochemical group to offer fewer shares than intended, at a cost below the bottom end of its initial target.
