Sainsbury’s shares fell to their lowest level since February, when news of a potential bid for the supermarket operator first emerged, as investors became increasingly unsure that the Qatari-backed Delta Two fund would submit a bid.

The Sainsbury’s board has demanded that Delta Two inject more equity into its offer.
