The news comes a month after the company settled an attempted boardroom coup which arose when a group of major shareholders called for the removal of board chair Stephen Smith and non-executive director Steffan Francis.

The real estate investment trust said: “Further to the announcement on 13 September 2024, the board has received feedback from a number of shareholders regarding the options available to the company to maximise value for shareholders.

“Following such feedback, the board wishes to explore these options in a coordinated fashion alongside engaging with a range of potentially interested parties.”

PRS said it was not currently in talks with or in receipt of an approach from any potential offeror.
