Filing Released Lang Actions
Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 1% confidence The document explicitly starts with 'RNS Number : 9381S' and contains the header 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings'. This form is used to report changes in significant share ownership, which corresponds to the definition of Major Shareholding Notification (MRQ). However, the document is distributed via RNS, the news service of the London Stock Exchange, and the content itself is a regulatory filing detailing a change in voting rights crossing a threshold. Since 'MRQ' specifically covers 'Notification of changes in significant share ownership levels (crossing thresholds)', this is the most precise classification. The presence of the RNS header confirms it is a regulatory announcement, but the content dictates the specific type.

Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 1% confidence The document explicitly starts with 'RNS Number : 3633S' and contains the header 'NOTIFICATION OF MAJOR HOLDINGS (to be sent to the relevant issuer and to the FCA in Microsoft Word format if possible)'. This format is characteristic of a regulatory filing concerning changes in significant share ownership. Specifically, it details the acquisition/disposal of voting rights by BlackRock, Inc., crossing a notification threshold. This directly matches the definition for Major Shareholding Notification (MRQ). Although it is distributed via RNS, the core content is a specific regulatory disclosure about shareholdings, making MRQ the most precise classification over the general RNS fallback.

Total Voting Rights
Regulatory Filings Classification · 1% confidence The document is very short (1313 characters) and contains the header 'RNS Number : 6449R'. It explicitly states the total number of voting rights as of a specific date (28 February 2019) and mentions that this figure should be used by shareholders for calculating notification requirements under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules. This content directly relates to the total voting rights, which is a mandatory regulatory disclosure, often released via RNS. While it is a regulatory announcement, it is not a standard filing like 10-K or IR. It is a specific disclosure about voting rights, which fits best under the general 'Regulatory Filings' (RNS) category, as there is no specific code for 'Total Voting Rights Announcement'. It is not a DVA (Declaration of Voting Results) as it is about the denominator for future notifications, not the results of a past vote. Given the RNS header and the nature of the disclosure, RNS is the most appropriate classification.

Final Results
Earnings Release Classification · 1% confidence The document is titled 'Audited results for the year ended 31 December 2018' and contains detailed financial highlights, including Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Operating Profit, EPS, and dividend recommendations for the full year 2018. It explicitly mentions 'Audited results' and provides comprehensive financial tables covering the entire fiscal year. This strongly indicates it is the official Annual Report, which corresponds to the SEC's Form 10-K filing type for comprehensive annual reporting, even though it is presented via an RNS mechanism. The length (141,187 characters) also suggests a full report rather than a brief announcement. The presence of 'RNS Number : 9329Q' suggests it was released via the Regulatory News Service, but the content itself is the full annual results. FY 2018

Notice of Results
Report Publication Announcement Classification · 1% confidence The document is very short (2158 characters) and explicitly states that the company 'will announce results for the year ended 31 December 2018 on Monday 25 February 2019.' It is not the results themselves, but an announcement about when the results will be published. This fits the definition of a Report Publication Announcement (RPA), which covers announcements regarding the timing or release of company reports. The presence of the RNS Number further confirms it is a regulatory announcement, but RPA is more specific for this context.
2019-02-06 English
Total Voting Rights
Regulatory Filings Classification · 1% confidence The document is very short (1318 characters) and contains the header 'RNS Number : 8198O'. It explicitly states the total number of voting rights (400,898,175) as of a specific date (31 January 2019) and notes that this figure should be used by shareholders for FCA Disclosure and Transparency Rule calculations. This type of mandatory disclosure regarding the total share capital and voting rights 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 notification about the denominator used for ownership tracking. Given the RNS header and the nature of the disclosure (Total Voting Rights), the most appropriate classification is RNS (Regulatory Filings), as it is a general regulatory announcement provided via the RNS service, which serves as the fallback for specific regulatory disclosures not covered by other codes. It is not an AGM-R, DEF 14A, or DVA.
