Shein to pay up to $4.4 billion to select pre-IPO investors around Hong Kong listing
The payments are nearly double the up to $2.24 billion that Shein aims to raise by selling shares in its IPO.
Fast-fashion e-commerce giant Shein will pay up to $4.4 billion to chosen pre-IPO investors in its Hong Kong listing, according to its prospectus. This is nearly double the estimated $2.2 billion in cash Shein could potentially pay, assuming the IPO is priced at the lower end of its range. The compensation aims to offset a significant drop in the company's valuation from its private valuations of $60.5 billion, $98.2 billion and $64 billion.
Eligible investors include entities linked to major firms such as Boyu Capital, Tiger Global, General Atlantic, Thrive Capital, Mubadala, Brookfield, and others. They hold Shein's late-stage funding shares, which come with protections triggered by an IPO priced below the earlier funding rounds. The payments will be made in cash or additional shares, and are funded by Shein's own financial resources.
