Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 99% confidence The document is explicitly labeled as an 'RNS Number' notification and contains the header 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings'. This form is used to report changes in significant share ownership, crossing specific thresholds. The filing details the percentage of voting rights held (3.01%) by Sarasin & Partners LLP on behalf of its clients in DS Smith plc. This directly corresponds to the definition of a Major Shareholding Notification (MRQ). Although it is distributed via RNS, the specific content dictates the MRQ classification over the general RNS fallback.

AGM Results
AGM Information Classification · 99% confidence The document explicitly states it contains 'RESOLUTIONS OF DS SMITH PLC' passed at an 'Annual General Meeting' held on '7 September 2021'. The content details various Ordinary and Special Resolutions concerning Directors' Authority to Allot Shares, disapplying pre-emption rights, and the Company's authority to purchase shares. These are typical resolutions voted upon and passed during an AGM. Therefore, the document is classified as AGM Information.

Result of AGM
Declaration of Voting Results & Voting Rights Announcements Classification · 100% confidence The document explicitly states 'RESULTS OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING' and details the outcome of votes on various resolutions (Annual Report, dividend, director remuneration, etc.) held on September 7, 2021. This content directly corresponds to the official results from a shareholder meeting. The most specific category for official results from a general meeting is 'Declaration of Voting Results & Voting Rights Announcements' (DVA). Although it relates to the AGM, DVA is more precise than AGM-R, which is defined as presentations and materials shared *during* the AGM, whereas this document is the formal *results* announcement.

AGM Trading Statement
Earnings Release Classification · 95% confidence The document is titled 'DS Smith Plc - AGM trading statement' and provides a trading update for the period since May 1, 2021, referencing the full-year results from June 22, 2021. It discusses trading performance, volume growth, cost recovery, and investment plans. Crucially, it announces a conference call for analysts and investors scheduled for the same day as the release (September 7, 2021). This content structure—a brief operational/financial update combined with an announcement of a call—is characteristic of an Earnings Release (ER) or a trading update often released near an AGM. Since it is a trading update covering a period since the last results and precedes the full annual report (10-K), and it is not the full transcript (CT) or the formal annual report (10-K), the best fit among the provided options is 'Earnings Release' (ER), as it provides key financial highlights and operational status updates for a period. The mention of 'AGM' in the title suggests it might be related to the AGM, but the content is a trading update, not AGM materials (AGM-R) or a proxy statement (PSI). Given the content focuses on recent trading performance, ER is the most appropriate classification. FY 2022

Total Voting Rights
Declaration of Voting Results & Voting Rights Announcements Classification · 100% confidence The document is identified by the 'RNS Number : 3686K' and explicitly states it is provided by 'RNS, the news service of the London Stock Exchange'. The content details an update to the total number of shares in issue and the voting rights denominator, which is a regulatory notification concerning share capital. This type of announcement, which is a specific regulatory update not covered by other detailed categories like 10-K, ER, or DIV, fits best under the general 'Regulatory Filings' category (RNS) or potentially 'Share Issue/Capital Change' (SHA). Since it is explicitly branded as an RNS release and deals with the denominator for disclosure rules (DTR 5.6.1), RNS is a strong fit, but SHA specifically covers changes in share capital. Given the core message is the change in the total number of shares (1,373,613,861) following an issuance, SHA is more precise than the general RNS fallback. However, the document is a formal notification provided via the RNS system, and the content is a 'Voting Rights and Share Capital Update'. Since SHA covers 'Announcement regarding new share issues, stock splits, or other capital changes', and this document reports a new share issuance and the resulting total, SHA is the most specific fit among the options provided for capital structure changes.
