LONDON, Oct 18 (Reuters) - The Hut Group, a rapidly growing British online retailer and tech group that saw its shares plummet last week, said on Monday it would remove its founder's "golden share" and seek a place on the premium segment of the main stock market.

"THG Plc announces that Matthew Moulding, CEO, in furtherance of good corporate governance, has confirmed his intention to cancel his Special Share rights," it said, adding that this would allow it to join the main market of the London Stock Exchange in 2022.
