(Alliance News) McKay Securities PLC suitor Slate Asset Management LP on Tuesday said it does not intend to make an offer for the property firm.

As of March 29, the McKay board continued to recommend the £272 million cash-and-shares offer from real-estate investment trust Workspace PLC, which was announced earlier in March.
A shareholder vote on the Workspace offer is scheduled for April 27.
