CHICAGO, Nov 21 (Reuters) - LyondellBasell said on Saturday it had received a preliminary, nonbinding cash offer from Indian energy giant Reliance Industries to acquire a controlling interest in the company, contemporaneously with LyondellBasell's emergence from Chapter 11 reorganization.
Petrochemicals firm LyondellBasell said in a statement that the offer represents a potential alternative to a previously filed reorganization plan.
