Three Delta drops Sainsbury’s bid after Qatari talks(4)

Three Delta has withdrawn its bid for Sainsbury’s citing the problems in the credit markets and an equity increase demanded by the UK supermarket’s pension trustees.

Investment firm Three Delta has called off its bid for UK supermarket Sainsbury’s after its backer sovereign fund the Qatari Investment Authority decided against funding a £500 million (€720 million; $1 billion) equity increase. 

The firm was expected to announce its decision to bid on Friday of this week.
