The U.S. Treasury does not plan to start selling its remaining shares in General Motors Co (GM.N) until after the automaker's second-quarter financial results expected in August, people familiar with the matter said. The Treasury, which holds a 32 percent stake in the top U.S. automaker, plans to wait on a secondary offering in light of GM's recent share performance, and the earliest possible time for its follow-on sale is August, these people said. The sources asked not to be identified because the matter is not public. The U.S. government is also opposed to the idea of selling a portion of its shares directly to GM, although such a transaction was suggested as a possible option, these people said. A Treasury spokesman declined to comment.
