Filing Released Lang Actions
Annual Financial Report and Notice of AGM
Report Publication Announcement Classification · 100% confidence The document explicitly states its purpose in the title and opening paragraph: 'Publication of 2020/21 Annual Report and Notice of Annual General Meeting 2021'. It confirms that the 'Annual Report for the year ended 30 April 2021' and the 'Notice of the 2021 Annual General Meeting' are being published. Although it contains extracted information (like principal risks) which might resemble parts of an Annual Report (10-K) or Governance Report (CGR), the primary function of this specific filing, as indicated by the RNS format and the introductory text, is to announce the availability of these two key documents. According to Rule 2 (The 'MENU VS MEAL' Rule), if a document announces the publication of a report, it should be classified as a Report Publication Announcement (RPA) rather than the report itself (10-K). Since it announces both the Annual Report and the AGM Notice, RPA is the most appropriate classification for the announcement itself.

Director/PDMR Shareholding
Director's Dealing Classification · 100% confidence The document is identified by the RNS Number header and contains details about 'Transactions in shares by Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMRs")'. It specifically details the grant of nil-cost options under the company's share plans to senior executives (Miles Roberts, Adrian Marsh, etc.). This type of filing, reporting personal share transactions by directors and executives, directly corresponds to the definition of Director's Dealing (DIRS). The presence of 'Market Abuse Regulation' forms further confirms this is an insider transaction disclosure.
2021-07-09 English
Total Voting Rights
Declaration of Voting Results & Voting Rights Announcements Classification · 100% confidence The document is an official notification released via RNS (London Stock Exchange news service). The title is 'Voting Rights and Share Capital Update'. The content explicitly states the total number of shares in issue (1,373,442,967) and confirms that this figure should be used by shareholders as the denominator for calculating changes in their interest under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules (DTR 5.6.1). This directly relates to changes in share capital structure and voting rights notification requirements. This fits best under 'Share Issue/Capital Change' (SHA) as it details the total number of shares after an issuance, or potentially 'Major Shareholding Notification' (MRQ) as it provides the denominator for such notifications. However, since it announces the issuance of new shares ('a further 117,666 Ordinary Shares have been issued') and provides the resulting total share count, SHA is the most precise fit. It is not a general regulatory filing (RNS) because it is highly specific to capital structure.

Director/PDMR Shareholding
Remuneration Information Classification · 99% confidence The document is identified by the 'RNS Number' header and contains details about 'Transactions in shares by Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMRs")'. It specifically details the vesting of share awards (DSBP) to senior executives (Miles Roberts, Adrian Marsh, etc.) and includes the required regulatory disclosure tables concerning the transaction details, instrument type, and position/status of the individuals involved. This content directly corresponds to the definition of Director's Dealing reports, which track insider transactions.
2021-06-23 English
Confirmation of 1 Nov 2021 dividend payment date
Notice of Dividend Amount Classification · 99% confidence The document is very short (1579 characters) and explicitly mentions confirming a dividend payment date ('DS Smith Plc - Confirmation of 1 November 2021 dividend payment date'). It references the dividend being subject to shareholder approval at the AGM. This content directly relates to the announcement of dividend details. According to the definitions, 'Notice of Dividend Amount (Code: DIV)' covers the announcement of dividend amounts and payment dates. Although it mentions the AGM, the primary focus is the dividend confirmation, not the AGM materials themselves (AGM-R) or the proxy solicitation (PSI). It is not a general regulatory filing (RNS) because a more specific category (DIV) applies.
2021-06-22 English
Full year results
Earnings Release Classification · 100% confidence The document is an 'Earnings Release' (ER) from DS Smith Plc. It contains key financial highlights, performance metrics (revenue, operating profit, EPS), and management commentary regarding the 2020/21 full-year results. It is clearly an initial announcement of financial results, as evidenced by the RNS header, the summary of financial highlights, and the invitation to an upcoming investor webcast. It is not a full Annual Report (10-K) as it is a summary announcement, nor is it a report publication announcement (RPA) because it contains substantive financial data and analysis. FY 2021
