V
olkswagen's supervisory board
does not back a plan to sell Ducati,
even though several companies
showed interest when Volkswagen
initially floated the idea in April.
According to Reuters, five bidders
were on a short list of potential buyers,
including the Benetton family. Ducati
reportedly received offers between
$1.52 billion and $1.76 billion. How-
ever, half of VW's 20-member supervi-
sory board rejected the sale of Ducati
unless there are compelling financial
reasons. VW's six-month financial re-
sults show the company doesn't need
more money, according to Reuters. CN
