In the early 2012, Investindustrial, a European based private equity group, publicly declared their intent to sell out 76.7% stake in Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A., a famous Italian manufacturer of sport performance bikes. The decision followed a six-year turn around during which Ducati returned to profitability and substantially extended its commodity line. Investindustrial's team had the subsequent exit option: 1) a trade to an automotive buyer; 2) a minor buyout, partial or complete, by a fiscal investor; 3) a record in Hong Kong. Every option had its advantages and disadvantages, however all demanded a cautious valuation of Ducati to optimize the investors' return on their flagship investment.
