Filing Released Lang Actions
Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 98% confidence The document is explicitly labeled with 'RNS Number : 8571W' and contains the standard format '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 Major Shareholding Notification (MRQ). Although it is distributed via RNS, the specific content is a mandatory regulatory filing regarding share ownership changes, making MRQ the most precise classification over the general RNS fallback.
2019-04-23 English
Director Declaration
Board/Management Information Classification · 98% confidence The document is very short (1020 characters) and is identified by the 'RNS Number : 6865W'. The content explicitly announces a change in a director's role: Group Finance Director Adrian Marsh has been appointed as a non-Executive Director of another company (John Wood Group PLC). This directly relates to changes in senior management or board composition. This aligns perfectly with the definition for Board/Management Information (MANG). Although it uses the RNS distribution service, the core subject matter is management change, making MANG the most specific classification over the general RNS fallback.
2019-04-18 English
Disposal
M&A Activity Classification · 99% confidence The document is identified by the 'RNS Number' header and explicitly states, 'This information is provided by RNS, the news service of the London Stock Exchange.' The content details a specific corporate action: the proposed sale of two packaging businesses to fulfill a commitment made to the European Commission regarding a prior acquisition. This is a material corporate event announcement disseminated via the Regulatory News Service (RNS). Since the document describes a specific transaction (sale of assets related to regulatory clearance) and is distributed via RNS, it fits best under the general 'Regulatory Filings' category (RNS) as it is not a specific financial report (10-K, IR, ER) or a specific corporate action like a dividend (DIV) or share repurchase (POS). Given the explicit RNS identification, RNS is the most appropriate code.

Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 99% confidence The document is explicitly labeled with 'RNS Number : 2108W' and contains the header 'NOTIFICATION OF MAJOR HOLDINGS (to be sent to the relevant issuer and to the FCA in Microsoft Word format if possible)'. The content details changes in voting rights percentages (e.g., 4.954%) held by Ameriprise Financial, Inc. and its group, which is the definition of a major shareholding notification. This aligns perfectly with the 'Major Shareholding Notification' category (MRQ). Although it is distributed via RNS, the specific content dictates the classification over the general distribution channel.
2019-04-15 English
Director/PDMR Shareholding
Director's Dealing Classification · 100% confidence The document explicitly uses the header 'RNS Number' and states that the notification is made in accordance with EU Market Abuse Regulation requirements. The content details a transaction (PURCHASE OF SHARES) by a Non-Executive Director (DAVID ROBBIE) of DS Smith Plc, which falls under insider trading or director's dealing disclosure rules. Among the provided codes, 'Director's Dealing' (DIRS) is the most specific fit for reporting personal share transactions by directors. Although it is distributed via RNS, the content itself is a DIRS filing.
2019-04-11 English
Directorate Change
Board/Management Information Classification · 99% confidence The document explicitly announces changes to the company's board of directors: the retirement of Jonathan Nicholls and the appointment of David Robbie as a Non-Executive Director. This content directly matches the definition for Board/Management Information. The presence of the 'RNS Number' and the closing statement about RNS being the news service of the London Stock Exchange confirms it is a regulatory announcement, but the specific subject matter points to MANG over the general RNS fallback.
