Filing Released Lang Actions
Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 99% confidence The document is clearly identified by the header 'RNS Number : 8865W' and contains the standard formatting for a regulatory notification disseminated via RNS (Regulatory News Service). Specifically, it is a 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings' filed by Aviva PLC regarding an acquisition/disposal of voting rights in DS Smith PLC. This type of filing, which reports changes in significant share ownership crossing thresholds, maps directly to the Major Shareholding Notification category.

CEO Succession
Board/Management Information Classification · 98% confidence The document is an official announcement released via RNS (Regulatory News Service) concerning the planned retirement of the CEO, Miles Roberts, and the initiation of a succession process. This directly relates to changes in senior management personnel. According to the definitions, 'Board/Management Information (Code: MANG)' covers the 'Announcement of changes in the company's board of directors or senior management.' Although it is distributed via RNS, the core subject matter is management change, making MANG the most specific classification. The document length is short (3577 chars), but it is the primary announcement itself, not just an announcement *about* a report, so RPA/RNS is secondary to MANG.

DS SMITH PLC – 2023/24 HALF YEAR RESULTS
Interim / Quarterly Report Classification · 100% confidence The document is a formal announcement of '2023/24 HALF YEAR RESULTS' for DS Smith Plc. It contains detailed financial tables (Revenue, Operating Profit, EPS, etc.), an operating review, and management commentary regarding performance for the six-month period ending 31 October 2023. Since it provides comprehensive financial data and analysis for a period shorter than a full fiscal year, it is classified as an Interim/Quarterly Report. H1 2024
2023-12-07 English
Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 99% confidence The document is explicitly labeled with "RNS Number : 4592V" and contains the standard header/footer information associated with RNS (Regulatory News Service) releases from the London Stock Exchange. The content details a 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings' filed by Aviva PLC regarding an acquisition/disposal of voting rights in DS Smith PLC, crossing a threshold. This type of mandatory disclosure regarding significant changes in share ownership falls directly under the definition of Major Shareholding Notification (MRQ). Although it is an RNS filing, MRQ is a more specific category than the general RNS fallback.
2023-12-01 English
Total Voting Rights
Share Issue/Capital Change Classification · 99% 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 details the total number of voting rights and share capital as of a specific date (1 December 2023), which is a mandatory disclosure under DTR 5.6.1. This type of mandatory, periodic disclosure that doesn't fit a more specific category (like 10-K, ER, or DIV) is best classified as a general Regulatory Filing (RNS). The document length is short (2060 chars), but it is a direct notification, not an announcement *about* another report, so RPA is less appropriate than RNS for this specific regulatory update.
2023-12-01 English
Block listing Interim Review
Share Issue/Capital Change Classification · 99% confidence The document is explicitly titled 'BLOCK LISTING SIX MONTHLY RETURN' and is provided via 'RNS Number'. It details the status of unallotted securities under a specific scheme ('DS Smith Sharesave Plan') over a six-month period (May 27, 2023, to November 27, 2023). This type of periodic return concerning share schemes and listing requirements is a specific regulatory filing. While it relates to capital/shares, it is a formal return submitted to the exchange, not a general announcement of a capital change (SHA) or a transaction in own shares (POS). Since it is a formal regulatory filing distributed via RNS that doesn't fit the other specific categories like 10-K, ER, or IR, the most appropriate classification is the general regulatory filing category, RNS, as it is explicitly branded as an RNS document.
