May 19 (Reuters) - KKR KKR.N said on Monday it believed its offer for British healthcare property investor Assura AGRP.L represented a "superior" proposal after rival suitor Primary Health Properties PHP.L outbid the U.S. private equity firm last week.
Assura said on Friday it was reviewing the new cash-and-stock offer from Primary Health Properties, which came in 4.7% higher than the KKR-Stonepeak all-cash bid.
The KKR-Stonepeak offer currently has the backing of the Assura board.
