Aladdin Knowledge (ALDN) opts out of Nasdaq

Filed under: Deals, Private equity

About a year ago, the security software operator, Aladdin Knowledge Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: ALDN), was trading at about $25 per share. But with the plunge in Nasdaq and the slowing economy, the stock fell to a low of $5.85.
