Spire Healthcare Shares Fall 3% After Extension

Spire Healthcare Group (LSE:SPI) experienced a share price decline of over 3% on Thursday, making it the largest decliner on the FTSE‑250 Midcap Index. The price drop was triggered by the announcement that the deadline for Toscafund Asset Management to submit a formal takeover offer had been extended for a second time. The new deadline is now July 9, moved from the earlier deadline of June 25.

Toscafund initially lodged its proposal on May 14, offering 250 pence per share for Spire Healthcare. This offer values the hospital operator at approximately £1 billion, equivalent to about $1.32 billion.
