Woolworths Group PLC's shares fell 13 percent Wednesday after the company confirmed it is considering selling its retail business.

'The board can confirm that it is in preliminary discussions regarding a possible offer for the retail business,' the company said in a statement. 'There can be no assurance that any offer will be forthcoming.'

Carrefour ousts CEO Duran

Carrefour SA said Tuesday it will replace its chief executive with a former top manager at Switzerland's Nestle SA, the culmination of long-simmering tensions over the French retail giant's performance and strategy.

Carrefour's board named Swede Lars Olofsson to replace outgoing CEO Jose Luis Duran, effective Jan. 1, the latest in a string of executive ousters at the top of France's corporate world.

Speculation over Duran's future at Carrefour, the world's second largest retailer after Wal-Mart Stores Inc., has mounted since last year when the company's long-standing top shareholder ceded its position to a consortium controlled by French billionaire Bernard Arnault and a U.S. private-equity firm, Colony Capital.
