Youku.com, China's top online video website, announced it sold its shares at US$12.8 apiece, higher than an original range between US$9 to US$11. It raised US$203 million after previously planning to seek US$154 million.

Dangdang, which operates the dangdang.com website, increased sales by 56 percent in the first nine months of 2010 from the same period a year ago, according to its prospectus.

Last year, Youku made a loss of US$26.7 million on sales of US$22.5 million, according to the company.
