Filing Released Lang Actions
Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 98% confidence The document is explicitly labeled with "RNS Number : 3487P" and contains the standard header/footer elements associated with Regulatory News Service (RNS) announcements from the London Stock Exchange. The content itself is a "TR-1: Standard form for notification of major interests," which details changes in major shareholdings (specifically Aviva plc's stake in DS Smith Plc) crossing notification thresholds. This type of mandatory disclosure regarding significant ownership changes falls under regulatory reporting. While it relates to shareholding, the format and source strongly indicate a general regulatory announcement rather than a specific form like DIRS (Director's Dealing) or SHA (Share Issue). Therefore, the most appropriate classification is the general regulatory filing category, RNS.

Admission of consideration shares
Regulatory Filings Classification · 98% confidence The document is explicitly identified by the header 'RNS Number : 1591P' and concludes with 'This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange'. The content announces the admission to trading of new ordinary shares following an acquisition, which is a material corporate event requiring immediate regulatory disclosure. Since this is a general regulatory announcement disseminated via the RNS system and does not fit neatly into specific categories like Capital Change (SHA) or M&A (TAR) as the primary focus, it falls best under the general Regulatory Filings category (RNS). The document length is moderate (6896 chars), but the key identifier is the RNS header and footer, confirming its nature as a regulatory news service release.
2017-08-29 English
Completion of acquisition of Interstate Resources
Regulatory Filings Classification · 98% confidence The document begins with an 'RNS Number' and the date '25 August 2017'. The content explicitly announces the 'COMPLETION OF THE ACQUISITION OF INTERSTATE RESOURCES' by DS Smith Plc, detailing the transaction structure, consideration paid, and includes commentary from management. This is a significant corporate event announcement disseminated via the Regulatory News Service (RNS) system of the London Stock Exchange. Since it is a specific announcement of a major corporate action (M&A completion) released through the official regulatory channel, it fits best under the general 'Regulatory Filings' category (RNS) as it is not a specific M&A proposal (TAR) but the finalization announcement, nor is it a general management report (MDA) or a financing update (CAP). Given the structure and source (RNS Number), RNS is the most appropriate classification.

Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 98% confidence The document is explicitly labeled with "RNS Number : 3085O" and contains the standard header/footer information associated with Regulatory News Service (RNS) announcements from the London Stock Exchange. The content itself is a "TR-1: Standard form for notification of major interests," which details changes in major shareholdings (crossing thresholds) by investment management entities following a merger. This type of mandatory disclosure regarding significant ownership changes falls under the category of Major Shareholding Notification (MRQ).
