Recent filings

Filing Released Lang Actions
Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 1% confidence The document is clearly identified as an RNS (Regulatory News Service) announcement, indicated by the 'RNS Number' and the concluding statement: 'This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange'. The content details a 'TR-1: NOTIFICATION OF MAJOR INTEREST IN SHARES' concerning Ascential Plc, where Old Mutual Plc is reporting a change in its holding that crossed the 13% threshold. This type of filing, reporting changes in significant share ownership, directly corresponds to the Major Shareholding Notification category (MRQ). Although it is an RNS filing, MRQ is a more specific and accurate classification than the general RNS fallback.
2016-05-27 English
Appointment of Joint Corporate Brokers
Regulatory Filings Classification · 1% confidence The document begins with an 'RNS Number' and is dated May 20, 2016. The content announces the 'Appointment of Joint Corporate Brokers' (Goldman Sachs International and Numis Securities Limited). This type of announcement, which is a specific corporate action update disseminated via the London Stock Exchange's news service (RNS), does not fit neatly into the defined categories like ER, 10-K, or DIV. Since it is a general regulatory announcement that doesn't match a more specific code (like MANG for director changes or CAP for financing), the most appropriate fallback category is Regulatory Filings (RNS). The document length is short (1773 chars), but it is the primary announcement itself, not an announcement *about* another report.
2016-05-20 English
Directorate Change
Board/Management Information Classification · 1% confidence The document is a regulatory announcement identified by the 'RNS Number' header and the closing statement 'This information is provided by RNS'. The content explicitly announces a 'Director appointment and Board Committee changes' for Ascential plc, detailing the appointment of Rita Clifton CBE as an independent non-executive director and her committee memberships. This directly matches the definition for Board/Management Information (MANG). The document length is short (2163 chars), but it contains the substantive announcement itself, not just a notice that a report is available, thus ruling out RPA/RNS based on the 'MENU VS MEAL' rule for substantive content.
2016-05-12 English
In-depth Briefing for Equity Analysts
Regulatory Filings Classification · 1% confidence The document is very short (1090 characters) and explicitly states that the company, Ascential plc, is holding an 'in-depth briefing for equity analysts' and that 'A copy of the presentations made to attendees will subsequently be made available on Ascential's website.' This structure—announcing an event where materials will be shared later, rather than containing the full presentation or report—strongly indicates an announcement about a forthcoming publication or event. Since the content is an announcement regarding an analyst briefing/presentation, the most fitting category is Report Publication Announcement (RPA), as it signals the release or availability of presentation materials. It is not the presentation itself (IP) or a general regulatory filing (RNS), as RPA specifically covers announcements about the publication of reports.
2016-04-26 English
Director/PDMR Shareholding
Remuneration Information Classification · 1% confidence The document is identified by the RNS Number (8950S) and the title 'Notification of Transactions of Directors/Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility and Connected Persons'. It details the 'Grant of Awards under the Company's Performance Share Plan' to Executive Directors. This type of filing, reporting personal share transactions by directors and executives, directly corresponds to the definition of Director's Dealing (DIRS). Although it is distributed via RNS, the specific content mandates the DIRS classification over the general RNS fallback.
2016-03-22 English
Final Results
Earnings Release Classification · 1% confidence The document is titled 'Audited results for Ascential Holdings Limited for the year ended 31 December 2015' and contains detailed financial tables, segment analysis, and management commentary covering the full fiscal year (2015). This structure strongly indicates a comprehensive annual financial report. Although it is released via RNS (RNS Number : 9196R) and is dated March 14, 2016, the content itself is the full annual results, not just an announcement of the results (which would be RPA or RNS). Since the definition for 'Annual Report' is 'Official yearly report covering company activity and full financial performance,' and the document provides exactly that for the year ended 31 December 2015, the appropriate code is 10-K, which is the standard SEC designation for an Annual Report, often used broadly for comprehensive annual filings.
