Filing Released Lang Actions
Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 99% confidence The document is clearly identified by the header 'RNS Number : 9763I' and contains the standard boilerplate language referencing 'RNS, the news service of the London Stock Exchange' and the 'Financial Conduct Authority'. The content itself is a 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings' filed by BlackRock, Inc. regarding their voting rights in DS Smith PLC, crossing the 5% 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 distributed via RNS, the specific content dictates the MRQ classification over the general RNS fallback.

Total Voting Rights
Declaration of Voting Results & Voting Rights Announcements Classification · 100% 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 an update on the total number of shares in issue and voting rights following a recent share issuance ('a further 5,206 Ordinary Shares have been issued'). This type of mandatory disclosure regarding share capital changes and voting rights denominators fits best under 'Share Issue/Capital Change' (SHA). Although it is distributed via RNS, the core subject matter is a capital structure update, making SHA more specific than the general RNS fallback.

Block listing Interim Review
Report Publication Announcement Classification · 99% confidence The document is explicitly labeled with 'RNS Number : 8062H' and contains boilerplate text referencing RNS, the news service of the London Stock Exchange, and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The content itself is a 'BLOCK LISTING SIX MONTHLY RETURN' detailing the balance and movement of shares under the 'DS Smith Sharesave Plan' over a six-month period (May 28, 2022, to November 28, 2022). This type of routine regulatory filing, which doesn't fit neatly into specific financial reports (10-K, IR, ER) or corporate actions (DIV, SHA), is best classified under the general regulatory announcement category, RNS, as it is a standard submission to the exchange mechanism.

Block listing Interim Review
Remuneration Information Classification · 99% confidence The document is titled 'BLOCK LISTING SIX MONTHLY RETURN' and is provided via 'RNS Number : 8049H'. It details the balance of unallotted securities under a specific share plan ('DS Smith Performance Share Plan') over a six-month period (May 28, 2022, to November 28, 2022). This type of periodic return concerning the status of securities reserved for issuance under a scheme is a specific regulatory filing. While it relates to capital/shares, the structure and source (RNS) strongly suggest a general regulatory disclosure. Since there is no specific category for a 'Block Listing Six Monthly Return' and it is a formal regulatory announcement distributed via RNS, the most appropriate classification is the general regulatory filing category, RNS, as it is not a standard financial report (10-K, IR) or a specific transaction report (POS, SHA).
2022-11-28 English
Appointment of Group Finance Director
Board/Management Information Classification · 100% confidence The document is a formal announcement released via RNS (RNS Number: 8329G) dated November 18, 2022. The core subject is the 'Appointment of Group Finance Director' (Richard Pike) and the retirement of the incumbent (Adrian Marsh). This directly relates to changes in senior management/board composition. 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 mentions the AGM for future approval, the primary purpose is the immediate announcement of the appointment, making MANG the most accurate classification over AGM-R.
2022-11-18 English
Total Voting Rights
Share Issue/Capital Change 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 details an update on the total number of shares in issue and voting rights following a recent share issuance (248,405 new shares). This directly relates to the company's capital structure and share count, which falls under 'Share Issue/Capital Change' (SHA). However, since this is a formal notification disseminated via the RNS system, and the core content is a notification about the total share capital denominator used for disclosure rules, it is a specific type of regulatory announcement. Given the options, 'SHA' (Share Issue/Capital Change) is the most specific fit for the content describing the change in the total number of shares. It is not a general 'RNS' fallback because a more specific category exists. The document length is short (2074 chars), but it contains the substantive update, not just an announcement that a report is attached.
