Volkswagen AG Chief Executive Officer Matthias Mueller will brief the leadership committee of the company’s board on Wednesday on findings of an internal investigation as the automaker struggles to explain years of cheating on emissions tests.

Mueller will discuss the investigation at a closed-door meeting, people familiar with the matter said. After the scandal prompted the departure of former CEO Martin Winterkorn and the suspensions of three senior development executives, more people are set to lose their jobs amid pressure to repair the company’s reputation, the people said.
