June 25 (Reuters) - UK's Spire Healthcare said on Thursday that the deadline for Toscafund Asset Management to make a formal takeover bid for the private hospital operator has been extended for a second time to July 9 from June 25.

Key Points of the Takeover Bid

Here are some details:

Toscafund's Position and Proposal
