Varese (Italy), September 11th, 2026 – In relation to the numerous reports and interpretations that have recently appeared across various media outlets and online channels regarding MV Agusta’s corporate situation, the Company believes it is appropriate to provide some clarification.
Following the separation from the KTM Group and the subsequent reacquisition of 100% of MV Agusta by the shareholder Art of Mobility, controlled by the Sardarov family, the Company has been engaged for several months in a comprehensive process aimed at restoring MV Agusta’s full operational, industrial, and financial balance.
The separation from KTM inevitably resulted in a significant transition phase, considering the level of integration reached between the two organisations. Since then, MV Agusta’s management has worked continuously to progressively restore the Company’s autonomy, processes, and the conditions necessary for its regular operations and the building of its future.
In parallel, the shareholder Art of Mobility has initiated and assessed a number of discussions regarding potential developments in MV Agusta’s shareholding structure. Some opportunities were explored in depth and subsequently considered not viable; others did not meet the necessary requirements in terms of substance and reliability. Other parties and scenarios remain under evaluation.
This is a serious and structured process, underway for several months and conducted with the support of external advisors and professionals, in the sole interest of the Company, its employees, partners and creditors, the dealer network and all stakeholders.
As part of this process, MV Agusta has also entered the Composizione Negoziata della Crisi (CNC), a framework provided for under Italian law to enable companies to address situations of temporary financial imbalance through a structured process assisted by independent professionals. The procedure allows the Company to assess its situation, engage with its various stakeholders and identify the most effective actions to support the rebalancing and relaunch of the business. Access to the CNC requires concrete prospects for recovery and, for MV Agusta, represents one of the tools supporting the path already undertaken.
Despite the complexity of the current phase, commercial results confirm the strength of the brand and customer interest across its key international markets.
In the first half of 2026, MV Agusta recorded 2,166 global retail registrations, an increase of 3.4% compared with 2,094 units during the same period in 2025, on a like-for-like basis. Italy, the brand’s largest market, recorded growth of 28.8%, increasing from 500 to 644 motorcycles. Positive results were also achieved in France, with growth of 42.3, and in the United States, with an increase of 24.2%.
These results do not eliminate the operational and financial difficulties of the current phase, but they confirm the strength of demand, the work of the dealer network and the industrial and commercial value that MV Agusta continues to represent.
Against this backdrop, MV Agusta notes the proliferation of rumours, interpretations and reports unsupported by objective evidence, some of which appear to originate from, or be fuelled by, parties that, in various capacities, have participated in or expressed an interest in these discussions.
These reports, in addition to not accurately representing the situation, risk creating unnecessary confusion around the Company at a time when it is essential to operate with responsibility, confidentiality and rigour.
MV Agusta therefore does not intend to comment on individual rumours, nor to contribute to a debate based on speculation or partial information. Any significant development regarding the Company’s corporate structure will be communicated directly by the Company through its official channels once concrete and definitive conditions are in place.
In the meantime, management’s priority remains clear: to ensure the continuity of the Company, progressively consolidate its operations and build the conditions necessary to secure a solid future for MV Agusta, consistent with the value of one of the world’s most recognised Italian motorcycle brands.
