Filing Released Lang Actions
Interim Management Statement
Management Reports Classification · 1% confidence The document is explicitly titled 'Interim Management Statement' and covers performance for a period shorter than a year ('period from 1 July 2014 to 31 October 2014', which is four months). This strongly indicates a report covering an interim financial period, fitting the definition of an Interim/Quarterly Report (IR). Although it contains management commentary, the primary focus is the financial performance update for the period, distinguishing it from a pure Earnings Release (ER) which is usually just the highlights, or a Management Discussion & Analysis (MDA) which is typically a more comprehensive narrative section within a larger report. Since it is a comprehensive statement covering the period's results, IR is the best fit. It is not a short announcement about a report, so RPA/RNS is avoided.

Total Voting Rights
Regulatory Filings Classification · 1% confidence The document is very short (1220 characters) and contains an RNS Number, indicating it is a regulatory announcement. The content explicitly states the 'total number of Ordinary Shares... in issue' and the 'total number of voting rights' as of the date of the notice, which is required under transparency regulations (Regulation 20 of the Transparency (Directive 2004/109/EC) Regulations 2007). This type of announcement, detailing the total share capital and voting rights denominator, fits the definition of a Declaration of Voting Results & Voting Rights Announcement (DVA) or potentially a general Regulatory Filing (RNS). Since DVA specifically covers voting rights announcements, it is the most precise fit, although RNS is also plausible as a fallback. Given the specific nature of announcing the voting rights denominator, DVA is chosen.

Director/PDMR Shareholding
Remuneration Information Classification · 1% confidence The document is titled 'Notification of Transactions of (1) Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility and (2) Persons closely associated with Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility'. It details a transaction (Grant of Options) involving the Chief Financial Officer (DAVID ARNOLD) of Grafton Group PLC. This type of filing, reporting insider transactions by management, directly corresponds to the definition of Director's Dealing. The presence of 'RNS Number' indicates it was released via a regulatory news service, but the specific content points overwhelmingly to DIRS.
2014-10-17 English
Holding(s) in Company
Declaration of Voting Results & Voting Rights Announcements Classification · 1% confidence The document is identified by the header 'RNS Number : 0307U' and contains a 'Standard Form TR-1'. This form is used for notifying changes in major shareholdings or voting rights, specifically mentioning 'an acquisition or disposal of voting rights' and crossing a threshold (6.05%). This type of notification, which reports changes in significant ownership, aligns best with the Major Shareholding Notification category (MRQ). Although RNS is present, MRQ is more specific for this content type.
2014-10-10 English
Acquisition of Builders Merchanting Business
Regulatory Filings Classification · 1% confidence The document is very short (1209 characters) and announces a specific corporate action: the 'Acquisition of Builders Merchanting Business in Brussels'. It uses the RNS Number format, indicating a regulatory announcement. This type of announcement, detailing a specific transaction (like an acquisition or merger proposal), fits best under M&A Activity (TAR) or, if it's a general announcement not fitting other specific categories, Regulatory Filings (RNS). Since 'Acquisition' strongly suggests M&A activity, TAR is a strong candidate. However, the text is a brief news release format typical of RNS announcements, and the definitions do not explicitly list 'Acquisition Announcement' under TAR (which is defined as 'Merger proposals or takeover bids'). Given the brevity and the RNS header, it is a general regulatory announcement. Since it is not a report itself, and it details a specific corporate event, it is classified as a Regulatory Filing (RNS) as a general announcement, although TAR is plausible if the definition of TAR is interpreted broadly. Given the structure and the RNS source, RNS is the safest general classification for a brief, non-standard report announcement.
2014-10-01 English
Acquisition of Direct Builders Merchants Ltd
Regulatory Filings Classification · 1% confidence The document is very short (1195 characters) and announces a specific corporate action: the 'Acquisition of Direct Builders Merchants Ltd'. It is issued via 'RNS Number', which strongly suggests a regulatory announcement. This type of announcement, detailing a specific corporate event like an acquisition, fits best under the general 'Regulatory Filings' category (RNS) as there is no specific code for M&A announcements that are not formal takeover bids (TAR). Since it is a direct announcement of an event rather than a report itself, and it is disseminated through the RNS system, RNS is the most appropriate classification.
