Filing Released Lang Actions
Notice of Results and Trading Update
Regulatory Filings Classification · 98% confidence The document is titled "Notice of Results and Trading Update" and explicitly states that the company expects to announce its annual results on a future date (March 22, 2018). It provides a brief trading update for the period leading up to the announcement date. Since this is an announcement *about* the upcoming release of results, and not the full results document itself (like a 10-K or ER), it fits the definition of a Report Publication Announcement (RPA). It is not a full Earnings Release (ER) which typically contains the actual figures, nor is it a general Regulatory Filing (RNS) as RPA is more specific for this context.

Director/PDMR Shareholding
Director's Dealing Classification · 100% confidence The document is a formal notification, identified by the 'RNS Number' header, detailing a 'Director/PDMR shareholding'. It explicitly states that David Poutney, a Non-Executive Director, purchased shares. This type of filing, reporting personal share transactions by company directors and executives (insider trades), directly matches the definition for Director's Dealing (DIRS). Although it is distributed via RNS, the specific content dictates the DIRS classification over the general RNS fallback.
2017-12-22 English
Grant of Share Options
Regulatory Filings Classification · 98% confidence The document begins with an 'RNS Number' and the date, indicating a regulatory announcement. The content explicitly details the 'Grant of Share Options' to a director and employees, including the exercise price and vesting conditions. Furthermore, the latter half of the document contains structured tables titled 'Notification and public disclosure of transactions by persons discharging managerial responsibilities and persons closely associated with them,' which is characteristic of insider transaction reporting required under MAR/disclosure rules. While it involves director dealings (DIRS), the primary nature of this specific RNS filing is the announcement of the grant of options and the associated insider transaction disclosure, which falls under the general regulatory announcement category (RNS) when a more specific code like DIRS (which usually covers completed trades) is less fitting for an option grant announcement, or if the document is a standard regulatory release format. Given the presence of the RNS header and the format, RNS is the most appropriate general classification for this type of regulatory news service release.
2017-12-13 English
Director/PCA shareholding
Director's Dealing Classification · 100% confidence The document is an official notification filed under RNS Number 4862U, dated October 24, 2017. The content explicitly details share purchases made by directors and persons closely associated with them ('Director/PCA shareholding'). It follows the structure required for 'Notification and public disclosure of transactions by persons discharging managerial responsibilities and persons closely associated with them,' which is a specific type of insider trading report. This directly corresponds to the definition of Director's Dealing (DIRS).
2017-10-24 English
Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 99% confidence The document is clearly identified by the header 'RNS Number : 3620R' and contains the standard format for a 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings'. This form is used to report changes in significant share ownership, which directly corresponds to the definition of Major Shareholding Notification. The content details the percentage of voting rights crossed (4.3110%) and the parties involved in the transaction. Therefore, the correct classification is Major Shareholding Notification (MRQ).
2017-09-21 English
Director/PDMR Shareholding
Director's Dealing Classification · 100% confidence The document is identified by the 'RNS Number' header and explicitly states it is an announcement regarding 'Director/PDMR shareholding' transactions (purchases of ordinary shares by directors). This type of filing, which reports personal share transactions by company directors and executives, directly corresponds to the definition of Director's Dealing. The presence of the RNS identifier and the nature of the content confirm this is a regulatory disclosure concerning insider transactions, matching the 'DIRS' code.
