Picton Property Income ( (GB:PCTN) ) has issued an announcement.

Picton Property Income, a diversified UK REIT listed in London, manages a £699 million commercial property portfolio spanning industrial and other sectors and serving about 300 occupiers. The group positions itself as an agile, occupier-focused landlord aiming for long-term outperformance and has committed to achieving net zero carbon by 2040.

The board has received multiple proposals under its ongoing Strategic Review and Formal Sale Process, and is now progressing a shortlist to determine a preferred option to maximise shareholder value. As a result of this work and its ongoing offer-period status under the Takeover Code, Picton has postponed publication of its annual results beyond the originally planned 21 May 2026 date, and will provide further updates as the process develops.

The company has also confirmed that, should a firm offer emerge, a formal valuation report on its 31 December 2025 net asset value and portfolio valuation will be produced in line with Rule 29 of the Takeover Code. This framework sets expectations for investors over how key asset valuations will be validated and disclosed in the event of a bid proceeding to a formal offer stage.
