Assura has delayed a vote on a takeover proposal from KKR and Stonepeak as it is in talks with Primary Health Properties to decide whether to recommend shareholders accept its rival proposal.
The U.K. healthcare-property company has been subject to rival bids and said Friday that it is conducting due diligence talks with PHP on its sweetened 1.68 billion pounds ($2.25 billion) offer.
Assura previously accepted an all-cash takeover offer from the KKR and Stonepeak consortium, known as Sana Bidco, in April.
It had been due to hold a vote on implementing the offer but said it postponed the meeting and advised shareholders to take no further action relating to the offer.
