Filing Released Lang Actions
Interim results
Interim / Quarterly Report Classification · 1% confidence The document is an official 'Interim results' announcement for Ascential plc for the six-month period ended 30 June 2018. It contains detailed financial highlights, segmental reviews, and operational performance data. It is not merely an announcement of a report (RPA) but the actual interim financial report itself, containing substantive financial statements and management analysis. Therefore, it is classified as an Interim / Quarterly Report. H1 2018
2018-07-23 English
Completion of disposal of Exhibitions
M&A Activity Classification · 1% confidence The document begins with an 'RNS Number' and is dated 17 July 2018. It announces the 'Completion of disposal of Exhibitions' by Ascential PLC. This is a specific corporate action announcement related to a transaction (disposal/sale of a business unit). While it relates to financing/capital structure indirectly, the primary nature is a significant corporate event announcement distributed via the London Stock Exchange's news service (RNS). Since there is no specific code for M&A completion announcements, and it is clearly a regulatory news service release, the most appropriate classification is RNS (Regulatory Filings), which serves as the general regulatory announcement category. The document length is short (2789 chars), but it contains the full substance of the announcement, not just a notice that a report is attached, thus ruling out RPA.
2018-07-17 English
Notice of Interim Results Date
Report Publication Announcement Classification · 1% confidence The document is very short (1241 characters) and explicitly states its purpose: 'Notice of Interim Results Date'. It informs the reader that the company 'will announce results for the six months ended 30 June 2018 on Monday 23 July 2018'. This structure—announcing the future release date of a report (Interim Results)—fits the definition of a Report Publication Announcement (RPA). It is not the Interim Report (IR) itself, nor is it a general regulatory filing (RNS), as RPA is more specific for announcing report publication timing.

Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 1% confidence The document is a 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings' filed by Quilter PLC regarding their interest in Ascential plc. This is a regulatory requirement for shareholders to disclose when their voting rights cross specific thresholds. This fits the definition of a Major Shareholding Notification (MRQ).

Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 1% confidence The document is explicitly labeled with an 'RNS Number' and contains the header 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings'. This form is used to report changes in significant share ownership thresholds, as detailed in sections 7 and 8 (showing percentage changes crossing thresholds). The RNS (Regulatory News Service) is the distribution mechanism, and the content itself is a notification of a major shareholding change. This directly corresponds to the definition for Major Shareholding Notification (MRQ). Although it is distributed via RNS, the specific content type is a major holding notification, making MRQ the most precise classification over the general RNS fallback.
2018-07-02 English
Total Voting Rights
Regulatory Filings Classification · 1% confidence The document is very short (1307 characters) and contains an RNS Number, a date, and explicitly states information about the 'Total Voting Rights' of the company, which is used by shareholders for Disclosure and Transparency Rules calculations. This type of mandatory, short regulatory update, often disseminated via RNS, fits best under the general 'Regulatory Filings' category, as there is no specific code for 'Total Voting Rights' disclosure, and it is not an announcement of a major report (RPA) or a change in share structure (SHA) but rather a periodic disclosure required by regulators (FCA). Given the context of RNS dissemination and the nature of the disclosure, RNS is the most appropriate fallback.
