July 26 (Reuters) - The following bids, mergers,

acquisitions and disposals were reported by 0930 GMT on Friday:

** Czech train maker Skoda said it does not intend to file a

counter bid to take over Spanish rival Talgo though it

seeks to combine the two companies' industrial activities,

according to a letter disclosed by Talgo.

** Banco Sabadell is unlikely to get a competing

takeover offer to scupper a hostile bid from rival BBVA

because other banks would also face competition

concerns, Sabadell's CEO Cesar Gonzalez-Bueno said.

Instructure Holdings ( INST ) private for $4.8 billion, the

private equity firm said on Thursday.
