Filing Released Lang Actions
Holding(s) in Company
Director's Dealing Classification · 98% confidence The document is explicitly labeled with "RNS Number : 7201G" and contains the header "TR-1(i): NOTIFICATION OF MAJOR INTERESTS IN SHARES". This format is characteristic of regulatory notifications concerning changes in significant shareholdings, which aligns with the definition for Major Shareholding Notification (MRQ). Although it is distributed via RNS, the specific content is a major interest notification, making MRQ the most precise classification. The document details an acquisition/disposal of voting rights by Aviva plc, crossing the 5% to 6% threshold.

Total Voting Rights
Regulatory Filings Classification · 98% confidence The document is very short (1315 characters) and explicitly states it is providing an update on 'Voting Rights and Share Capital' in conformity with DTR 5.6.1. It announces the issuance of new ordinary shares, resulting in a new total share count (946,497,330), which serves as the denominator for shareholder notification obligations under disclosure rules. This content directly relates to changes in the total number of shares and voting rights, fitting the description of a 'Share Issue/Capital Change' (SHA). Although it is a regulatory notification (RNS format), the specific nature of the content points more precisely to SHA than the general RNS fallback.

Director/PDMR Shareholding
Director's Dealing Classification · 100% confidence The document is identified by the RNS Number header and contains a detailed table structure titled 'Notification of Transactions of Directors/Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility and Connected Persons'. This structure explicitly details the acquisition and disposal of shares by a director (MILES WILLIAM ROBERTS) and a connected person (GILLIAN JANET ROBERTS), including transaction dates, prices, and resulting holdings. This content directly corresponds to the definition of Director's Dealing (insider trades). The filing code for Director's Dealing is DIRS. The document is a specific regulatory disclosure, not a general announcement of a report (RPA) or a general regulatory filing (RNS), although it is distributed via RNS.

Block listing Interim Review
Regulatory Filings Classification · 98% confidence The document is very short (1429 characters) and contains the header 'RNS Number : 0250F'. It details a 'BLOCK LISTING SIX MONTHLY RETURN' for the 'DS Smith Sharesave Plan' covering a period from January 22, 2016, to July 21, 2016, showing the balance of unallotted securities. This type of routine filing, which reports on the status of shares reserved under a scheme, is a specific regulatory disclosure. While it is a return, it doesn't fit the primary definitions of 10-K, AR, IR, or ER. Given the context of being a formal filing provided via the London Stock Exchange's news service ('This information is provided by RNS'), and lacking a more specific category like DIRS or DIV, it falls best under the general 'Regulatory Filings' category (RNS) as a miscellaneous, required disclosure that isn't a core financial report or management announcement.
2016-07-22 English
Annual Financial Report and AGM
Report Publication Announcement Classification · 100% confidence The document is very short (1471 characters) and explicitly states that the 'Annual Report and Accounts' and the 'Notice of Annual General Meeting 2016' are available online and have been posted to shareholders. It functions as an announcement regarding the publication and availability of these reports, rather than being the full report itself. The presence of the RNS Number and the closing statement 'This information is provided by RNS' strongly suggests a regulatory announcement. Since it announces the publication of both the Annual Report/Accounts and the AGM Notice, the most fitting classification based on the 'MENU VS MEAL' rule is Report Publication Announcement (RPA), as it is announcing the availability of the reports. If RPA were not an option, it might lean towards AGM-R or 10-K, but RPA captures the nature of this specific announcement best.
2016-07-22 English
Director/PDMR Shareholding
Director's Dealing Classification · 98% confidence The document explicitly mentions 'RNS Number : 9930C' and details share transactions by Directors (PDMRs) under various share plans (Deferred Share Bonus Plan and Performance Share Plan). This type of mandatory disclosure regarding insider transactions (Director's Dealing) is typically disseminated via regulatory news services. While it contains Director's Dealing information, the primary context is a regulatory announcement disseminated through RNS. However, the content perfectly matches the definition of Director's Dealing (DIRS) as it reports personal share transactions by company directors and executives. Since DIRS is a more specific category than the general RNS fallback, DIRS is the appropriate classification.
