Filing Released Lang Actions
Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 1% confidence The document is explicitly labeled as an 'RNS Number' notification and uses the header 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings'. This form is used to report changes in significant share ownership, which directly corresponds to the definition of Major Shareholding Notification (MRQ). Although it is distributed via RNS, the specific content is a major holding disclosure, making MRQ the most precise classification over the general RNS fallback.

Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 1% confidence The document is clearly identified as an 'RNS Number' filing from 'Ascential PLC' dated '18 February 2022'. The title is 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings'. This form is used to report changes in significant share ownership, specifically when a shareholder (BlackRock, Inc.) crosses or reaches a notification threshold (5.020000% direct voting rights). This directly corresponds to the definition of Major Shareholding Notification (MRQ). Although it is distributed via RNS, the specific content dictates the classification.
2022-02-21 English
Notice of Results
Report Publication Announcement Classification · 1% confidence The document is very short (2390 characters) and explicitly states that the company 'will announce results for the twelve months ended 31 December 2021 on Wednesday 2 March 2022.' It is an announcement about a future event (the release of results), not the results document itself. This fits the definition of a Report Publication Announcement (RPA), which covers announcements regarding the timing or release of company reports. The RNS Number and the RNS distribution footer confirm it is a regulatory announcement, but RPA is more specific than the general RNS fallback.

Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 1% confidence The document is explicitly labeled with 'RNS Number' and contains structured data related to shareholding changes, specifically a 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings'. This form details an acquisition or disposal of voting rights by BlackRock, Inc., crossing a notification threshold (moving from 5.23% to 5.20% total holding, crossing below the 5% threshold for direct rights but reporting the total position). Notifications of changes in significant share ownership are classified as Major Shareholding Notification (MRQ). Although it is distributed via RNS, the specific content dictates the MRQ classification over the general RNS fallback.
2022-02-11 English
External Directorship
Board/Management Information Classification · 1% confidence The document is a short announcement (1549 characters) distributed via RNS (London Stock Exchange news service). It explicitly states that an Independent Non-Executive Director, Suzanne Baxter, has been appointed to another company's board (Auction Technology Group plc). This type of announcement regarding changes in board membership falls directly under the definition of Board/Management Information (MANG). Although it is distributed via RNS, the specific content relates to director changes, making MANG the most precise classification over the general RNS fallback.
2022-02-07 English
Total Voting Rights
Declaration of Voting Results & Voting Rights Announcements Classification · 1% confidence The document is very short (1753 characters) and is explicitly identified as an 'RNS Number' announcement from the London Stock Exchange's news service. The content reports the 'Total Voting Rights' as of a specific date (31 January 2022) and provides this figure for shareholders to use under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules. This type of mandatory, periodic disclosure regarding share structure and voting rights, especially when issued via RNS, fits best under the general 'Regulatory Filings' category, as there is no specific code for 'Total Voting Rights' announcements, and it is not a comprehensive report (like 10-K or IR) nor a director's dealing (DIRS). Given the source (RNS) and the nature of the disclosure, RNS is the most appropriate classification.
