Dr Martens PLC - London-based boot maker - Launches its new 'With Bouncing Soles' global brand platform to showcase its "refreshed visual identity". Says it has developed the new digital platform as an end-to-end elevated consumer experience, as it "helps consumers better understand Dr. Martens through richer storytelling, stronger editorial content and more seamless journeys between inspiration and commerce," instead of "simply making it easier to purchase products". Says the new ecommerce site is live in US and major European markets, and will go live in others "in the months ahead". Also says it is executing its new retail strategy, as outlined in its full-year results in May. Says this continues in Autumn with the redesign and relaunch of Brand Centre stores in Paris, Munich, New York City and Los Angeles. Says these ensure all its stores "have a clearly defined role in strengthening consumer engagement, building brand desire and supporting long-term growth." Read More

Alternative Income REIT PLC - real estate investment trust focused on specialised alternative property sectors - Takeover offer from Glenstone REIT PLC reaches 79% acceptances, including Glenstone's own holding. As a result of passing the 75% threshold, Glenstone declares the offer unconditional. It now will ask Alternative Income to apply for delisting from the London Stock Exchange. Once acceptances exceed 90%, Glenstone says it will exercise its rights to squeeze out remaining shareholders. If the offer falls short of that threshold, it says it will re-list Alternative Income with the International Stock Exchange Authority Ltd, TISE. Glenstone's offer for Alternative Income is 70.0 pence per share. The board of Alternative Income initially rejected the hostile approach, arguing that it is below its last published net asset value of 84.4p per share, but recommended it to shareholders once acceptances exceeded 50% earlier this month.
