Filing Released Lang Actions
Total Voting Rights
Regulatory Filings Classification · 98% confidence The document is identified by the 'RNS Number' header and explicitly states it is provided by 'RNS, the news service of the London Stock Exchange'. The content announces the 'Total Voting Rights' of the company, detailing the total issued shares and shares held in treasury, which is a mandatory regulatory disclosure under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules. This type of short, specific regulatory update that doesn't fit into major categories like 10-K, ER, or IR is best classified as a general Regulatory Filing (RNS), as it is a standard notification disseminated via the RNS system.
2019-09-02 English
TRANSACTION IN OWN SHARES
Transaction in Own Shares Classification · 99% confidence The document explicitly announces a 'TRANSACTION IN OWN SHARES' where the company purchased 25,000 of its own ordinary shares to be held as treasury shares. This directly corresponds to the definition of 'Transaction in Own Shares' (POS). The document is formatted as a regulatory announcement, indicated by the 'RNS Number' and the closing statement referencing RNS, the news service of the London Stock Exchange, but the core content is the share repurchase activity itself, making POS the most specific classification over the general RNS fallback.
2019-08-29 English
PDMR Shareholding and change to voting rights
Director's Dealing Classification · 99% confidence The document is identified by the 'RNS Number : 3225K' and explicitly mentions that the information is provided by RNS, the news service of the London Stock Exchange, which acts as a Primary Information Provider. The content details the exercise of options, grant of options, director shareholdings, and changes to total voting rights, which are typical disclosures required by market regulators (like the FCA in the UK) for listed companies. Specifically, the latter half of the document follows the strict format for 'Notification and public disclosure of transactions by persons discharging managerial responsibilities' (PDMR notification), which is a mandatory regulatory filing. Since this is a specific regulatory announcement that doesn't fit neatly into the other categories (like 10-K, ER, or DIV), the most appropriate classification is the general regulatory filing category, RNS.
2019-08-28 English
Share Buyback Programme
Transaction in Own Shares Classification · 99% confidence The document explicitly announces that Franchise Brands PLC will continue its discretionary programme to buy back ordinary shares up to a value of £200,000. This activity, the repurchase of the company's own shares, directly corresponds to the definition of 'Transaction in Own Shares'. The RNS Number and the 'END' marker confirm it is a regulatory announcement, but the specific content points overwhelmingly to the POS category. It is not a general regulatory filing (RNS) because a more specific category exists.
2019-08-20 English
Director/PDMR shareholding
Director's Dealing Classification · 100% confidence The document is identified by the RNS Number (7947I) and explicitly mentions 'Notification and public disclosure of transactions by persons discharging managerial responsibilities and persons closely associated with them'. It details a purchase of shares by a Non-Executive Director (David Poutney). This directly corresponds to the definition of Director's Dealing (insider trades by executives/directors). The filing code for this is DIRS.
2019-08-13 English
Transaction in Own Shares
Transaction in Own Shares Classification · 99% confidence The document explicitly states 'TRANSACTION IN OWN SHARES' in the title section. The content details the purchase of 25,000 of its own ordinary shares by Franchise Brands plc, which are to be held as treasury shares. This directly corresponds to the definition of 'Transaction in Own Shares' (share repurchase/issuance). The presence of the 'RNS Number' and the closing statement referencing RNS confirms it is a regulatory announcement, but the specific subject matter points directly to the POS code. The document length (3181 chars) is short, but the content is the primary transaction detail, not just an announcement that a transaction occurred, making POS more specific than RPA or RNS.
