Investors relief

[Ungarsee]

Struggling to find a clear answer to this online so thought I’d ask the ever reliable pistonheads members.

I was able to buy shares in Revolut via the Seedrs platform back in 2017 and if the rumours are right they will probably IPO in the next year or two. I know investors relief is applicable to shares in unlisted companies but what happens if that company lists before you sell the shares? Do I lose the relief? Thanks.

A share is a qualifying share if -

5. the company’s shares or securities are not listed on a recognised stock exchange at the time of issue
