Fast-fashion retailer Shein is considering asking UK regulators to waive listing rules that require at least 10% of its shares to be sold to the public in its planned London flotation, two people with knowledge of the matter said.

The company is exploring this option to facilitate its IPO, one of the people said.
If granted, it would likely be the first time that a company in London has been allowed to list below the recent 10% rule.

Singapore-headquartered Shein, which sells $5 tops and $10 dresses mostly made in China, in June filed confidentially with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) for a London listing.
