The buyout offer for Italian luxury shoemaker Tod’s SpA won’t go forward after the Della Valle family fell short of the 90% ownership threshold it targeted, the family’s financial vehicle DeVa Finance said Wednesday, citing provisional results.

share capital at the conclusion of the offer period, below the 90% threshold targeted, DeVa said.
