Aug 31 (Reuters) - The following bids, mergers, acquisitions and disposals were reported by 1000 GMT on Wednesday:
** JX Holdings Inc 5020.T , Japan's biggest oil refiner by sales, has agreed to pay about 352 billion yen ($3.4 billion) in stock for TonenGeneral Sekiyu KK 5012.T , the country's third-largest refiner by sales. Twin Butte Energy TBE.TO debenture holders, who on Monday rejected a takeover bid by Reignwood Resources Holding Pte Ltd, have made an alternative proposal on the deal to the Canadian oil producer's special committee, a source familiar with the situation said on Tuesday. India's Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd ZEE.NS said it has agreed to sell its sports broadcasting business to Sony Pictures Networks for $385 million, as it rejigs its media content delivery businesses. The head of Deutsche Bank DBKGn.DE made a rare public call on Wednesday for cross-border mergers in Europe.

Private equity firm Vista Equity Partners Management LLC is exploring a sale of Aptean Inc MTMSS.UL , hoping a deal will value the U.S. business software company at more than $1 billion, including debt, according to people familiar with the matter. Motiva Enterprises LLC MOTIV.UL said on Tuesday the division of its U.S. refining assets between Royal Dutch Shell Plc RDSa.L and Saudi Aramco IPO-ARMO.SE would take place on April 1, 2017, months later than originally expected.
