Filing Released Lang Actions
Total Voting Rights
Regulatory Filings 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 a 'Voting Rights and Share Capital Update', specifically reporting the total number of shares in issue (1,372,384,121) and noting the issuance of 144,523 new shares since the last notification. This directly relates to changes in the total share count used for voting rights calculations, which falls under share capital changes or major shareholder notifications. Given the options, 'Share Issue/Capital Change' (SHA) is the most precise fit for reporting the total number of shares in issue following an issuance. While it is an RNS filing, SHA is a more specific category than the general RNS fallback.

Pre-close statement
Regulatory Filings Classification · 98% confidence The document is explicitly titled 'DS Smith Plc - Pre-close statement' and provides a trading update for the half year ending 31 October 2019. It contains key financial highlights, operational updates, and announces the forthcoming results date (December 5, 2019). This structure—a brief update preceding the full report—is characteristic of an Earnings Release (ER). Although it is distributed via RNS (RNS Number: 7042R), the content is focused on preliminary financial performance summary rather than just announcing the report's availability. It is not the comprehensive Interim Report (IR) itself, but the preliminary announcement of results.

Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 99% confidence The document is explicitly labeled with 'RNS Number : 7308Q' and contains the standard header 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings'. This form is used to report changes in significant share ownership thresholds. The content details the resulting shareholding percentage (4.981%) and the date the threshold was crossed (18/10/2019). 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.

Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 99% confidence The document is explicitly labeled with 'RNS Number : 1816P' and contains the header 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings'. This form is used to report changes in significant share ownership thresholds. The content details the resulting shareholding percentage (5.022%) crossing a threshold, the date, and the chain of controlled undertakings. 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.

Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 99% confidence The document is explicitly labeled with 'RNS Number : 0441P' and contains the standard header 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings'. This form is used to report changes in significant share ownership thresholds, which directly corresponds to the definition of a Major Shareholding Notification. Although it is distributed via RNS, the specific content dictates the classification over the general RNS fallback. The content details the resulting situation of voting rights crossing a threshold (4.990% total) by Ameriprise Financial, Inc. and its group.
2019-10-07 English
Director/PDMR Shareholding
Director's Dealing Classification · 100% confidence The document is explicitly labeled with an 'RNS Number' and contains details about a transaction involving a director/PDMR (Colin Stuart McIntyre) exercising options and selling shares. This type of insider transaction reporting, especially when originating from the London Stock Exchange's RNS service, falls under regulatory reporting concerning director dealings. The definition for Director's Dealing (DIRS) covers 'Report of personal share transactions by company directors and executives (insider trades)'. Although it is an RNS filing, the specific content points directly to DIRS, which is more precise than the general RNS fallback.
