MV Agusta’s latest financial restructuring plan has been approved by an Italian court.
This deal was first announced back in November of 2016. It was a way to address MV Agusta’s cash flow problems; the manufacturer has been having money trouble for a while now. The North American distributorship changed hands recently, and the company has also announced a hold on some of its bike development until the issues get sorted out.
With the new deal in place, hopefully the North American distributor will now have the necessary stability to rebuild the brand in the United States and Canada; even if the company has to slow down production for a while, as it stated earlier.
The full body of the press release is below:
