Cole Haan Inc. has given up plans to go public, at least for now, 11 months after it filed for an initial public offering. The New Hampshire-based shoes and accessories company disclosed late Friday that it has applied for the withdrawal of its S-1 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which it filed on Feb. 14, as it determined not to proceed with the IPO. The company did not provide a reason for the withdrawal. Cole Haan had not yet set terms of the IPO. The company's withdrawal comes at a time of strong investor interest in IPOs, as the Renaissance IPO ETF /zigman2/quotes/207665280/composite IPO +0.05% has rallied 26.4% over the past three months while the S&P 500 /zigman2/quotes/210599714/realtime SPX +1.95% has gained 9.7%.
