Recent filings

Filing Released Lang Actions
Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 1% confidence The document is explicitly titled 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings' and contains fields detailing the 'Identity of the issuer', 'Reason for the notification' (specifically 'An acquisition or disposal of voting rights'), the shareholder ('BlackRock, Inc.'), the date the threshold was crossed, and the resulting total positions in terms of percentage of voting rights and total number of shares. This structure is characteristic of regulatory filings related to changes in significant share ownership thresholds. The RNS Number and reference to the FCA confirm its regulatory nature. This directly matches the definition for Major Shareholding Notification (MRQ).

Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 1% confidence The document is explicitly titled 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings' and contains fields detailing changes in voting rights percentages (e.g., 'Resulting situation on the date on which threshold was crossed or reached' showing 2.90% direct holding and 3.35% total). This structure is characteristic of regulatory filings concerning significant changes in share ownership. The presence of 'RNS Number' and the reference to 'RNS is approved by the Financial Conduct Authority' confirms it is a regulatory announcement. The specific content aligns perfectly with the definition of a Major Shareholding Notification (crossing ownership thresholds).
2020-10-07 English
Director/PDMR Shareholding
Director's Dealing Classification · 1% confidence The document is an RNS announcement (RNS Number : 9935A) dated October 2, 2020, detailing the 'Grant of LTIP awards' to Executive Directors under the DABP and PSP plans. This involves reporting on share transactions by directors/insiders (Duncan Painter and Mandy Gradden) related to their compensation and share ownership. This directly aligns with the definition of Director's Dealing (insider trades/transactions by executives). While it touches upon remuneration, the core action reported is the grant/transaction of shares by directors, making 'Director's Dealing' (DIRS) the most precise fit over 'Remuneration Information' (DEF 14A) or a general 'Regulatory Filing' (RNS).
2020-10-02 English
Total Voting Rights
Regulatory Filings Classification · 1% confidence The document explicitly states 'RNS Number : 8731A' and contains information regarding the 'Total Voting Rights' (402,773,107 shares) as of a specific date (30 September 2020). This type of disclosure, which informs shareholders about the denominator for calculating changes in their interest under FCA rules, is a standard regulatory announcement. While it relates to voting rights, it is not the declaration of the *results* of a vote (DVA), but rather a routine update on the total number of shares eligible to vote. Since it is a formal announcement distributed via RNS and concerns regulatory compliance regarding share structure/voting capacity, it fits best under the general 'Regulatory Filings' (RNS) category, which serves as a fallback for specific regulatory updates not covered elsewhere. It is too specific for a general 'Share Issue/Capital Change' (SHA) as it is purely a rights count update, not an issuance announcement.
2020-10-01 English
COO Appointment
Board/Management Information Classification · 1% confidence The document is a formal announcement released via RNS (Regulatory News Service) regarding the appointment of Paul Harrison as Chief Operating Officer and Executive Director, effective January 11, 2021. This constitutes an announcement of a change in senior management/board composition. This directly matches the definition for Board/Management Information (MANG). Although it is distributed via RNS, the specific content is about management changes, making MANG the most precise classification over the general RNS fallback.
2020-09-29 English
Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 1% confidence The document is clearly identified by the header 'RNS Number : 4825W' and contains the standard format for 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings'. This form is used to report changes in significant share ownership thresholds. The filing category that specifically covers notifications of changes in significant share ownership levels is 'Major Shareholding Notification' (MRQ). Although it is distributed via RNS, the specific content dictates the MRQ classification over the general RNS fallback.
