Delisting

Taking your company public is commonly referred to as "listing it." It gets placed on the long list of already public companies, and stocks can be bought and sold.

Un-doing that is delisting. That is, the company is no longer public—either because it went bankrupt, violated some rules for staying listed, or got bought.
