March 14 (Reuters) - Assura on Friday said Britain's Takeover
Panel has extended the deadline for U.S. private equity group KKR and
Stonepeak Partners to announce a firm offer to acquire the British healthcare
real estate investment trust to April 11.
The deadline, originally scheduled on Friday for KKR and Stonepeak Partners
to make a firm offer or walk away, was extended to provide additional time for
the consortium to progress its due diligence, the company said.
