Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 99% confidence The document is explicitly titled 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings' and is filed via 'RNS Number : 7809S' to the FCA. It details changes in voting rights held by BlackRock, Inc. in Pearson PLC, crossing a threshold (from 6.97% previously to 6.97% resulting situation, but the 'acquisition or disposal of voting rights' box is marked 'X'). This type of mandatory disclosure regarding significant changes in share ownership thresholds directly corresponds to the definition of Major Shareholding Notification (MRQ). Although it is an RNS filing, MRQ is the more specific category for this content type.

Pearson 2020 Annual Report
Annual Report Classification · 100% confidence The document is clearly identified as the 'Pearson Annual report and accounts 2020'. It contains comprehensive sections including a strategic report, financial statements, governance reports, and auditor reports. It is a full-length annual report, not an announcement or a summary, and therefore fits the definition of a 10-K (Annual Report). FY 2020

Annual Financial Report
Report Publication Announcement Classification · 100% confidence The document explicitly states: "Pearson has today published its Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020 (the 'Annual Report')." It also mentions that the information below is "extracted from the Annual Report" and is included for compliance with DTR 6.3.5, which governs the release of annual financial reports. However, the primary purpose of *this specific announcement* is to inform the market about the publication of the full report, and it is filed via RNS (RNS Number : 7623S). According to Rule 2 (The "MENU VS MEAL" RULE), if a document is short and announces the publication of a full report (like an Annual Report), it should be classified as a Report Publication Announcement (RPA). Since this text is an announcement about the release of the 'Annual Report and Accounts' and includes extracted excerpts rather than the full, comprehensive filing, RPA is the most appropriate classification for this specific filing wrapper.

Result of 2020 GM – Update Statement
AGM Information Classification · 99% confidence The document is an RNS announcement from Pearson PLC dated March 18, 2021, providing an 'Update Statement' following a General Meeting on September 18, 2020, regarding shareholder approval for a resolution to amend the Directors' Remuneration Policy to permit a co-investment share award for the new CEO. Although the core topic relates to Directors' Remuneration (which might suggest DEF 14A), the document itself is a follow-up statement published via RNS, detailing shareholder engagement and referencing the 2020 Directors' Remuneration Report. Since this is a regulatory update/statement published through the RNS system, and it is not the full remuneration report itself, it fits best as a general Regulatory Filing (RNS) or potentially a Declaration of Voting Results & Voting Rights Announcement (DVA) due to the context of the prior vote. However, given the primary function is providing an update on the outcome and subsequent engagement regarding a specific vote/policy change, and it is explicitly distributed via RNS, RNS is the most appropriate general classification for this type of regulatory news service release that doesn't fit a more specific category like ER or 10-K. The document length is short (3985 chars) and it is a regulatory update, supporting the RPA/RNS distinction over classifying it as the underlying report (DEF 14A). I will classify it as RNS as it is a standard regulatory news service release.
