LONDON, April 10 (Reuters) - The following corporate finance-related stories involving U.S. and European companies were reported by media on Thursday:
** Qatar sovereign fund Delta Two would soon make a second attempt to acquire J Sainsbury (SBRY.L), the Independent reported. Last year, Delta Two decided not to proceed with an offer and triggered a six-month waiting period under the British takeover rules. This will end next month.
** European aerospace group EADS (EAD.PA) is in talks with several parties, including Daher, a French aerospace group, over the sale of its Socata aviation manufacturing unit, French newspaper La Tribune reported.
** German utility RWE (RWEG.DE) made an indicative all-cash offer of close to 700 pence per share to buy British Energy BGY.L, which would value the electricity producer at up to 11 billion pounds ($21.7 billion), the Financial Times cited people close to the situation as saying.
** Private equity firms CVC Capital Partners and Blackstone (BX.N) have made a joint bid to buy up to 29.9 percent of restaurant and pubs company Mitchells & Butlers (MAB.L), the Times reported. (Reporting by Daisy Ku, editing by Will Waterman)
