Filing Released Lang Actions
Total Voting Rights
Regulatory Filings Classification · 98% confidence The document is very short (1325 characters) and explicitly states it is an 'RNS Number' notification. The content details an update to the total number of shares in issue and confirms the total voting rights denominator, which is a standard regulatory disclosure related to share capital changes. This aligns perfectly with the definition of a regulatory announcement that doesn't fit a more specific financial report category. While it relates to share capital, the primary function here is the regulatory notification itself, making 'RNS' the most appropriate fallback, although 'SHA' (Share Issue/Capital Change) is also relevant. Given the explicit 'RNS Number' header and the nature of the disclosure (DTR 5.6.1 notification), RNS is the best fit as a general regulatory filing announcement.

Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 99% confidence The document is explicitly labeled with "RNS Number : 7791M" and contains a standardized form titled "TR-1(i): NOTIFICATION OF MAJOR INTERESTS IN SHARES". This form details an acquisition or disposal of voting rights by a major shareholder (Aviva plc & its subsidiaries), crossing a threshold (<3% to >3%). This type of filing, which reports changes in significant share ownership, directly corresponds to the Major Shareholding Notification category. Although it is distributed via RNS, the specific content dictates the MRQ classification over the general RNS fallback.

Blocklisting Interim Review
Regulatory Filings Classification · 98% confidence The document is very short (1435 characters) and contains the header 'RNS Number : 6259M'. It details a 'BLOCK LISTING SIX MONTHLY RETURN' for the 'DS Smith Sharesave Plan' covering the period from July 22, 2015, to January 21, 2016, showing the balance of unallotted securities. This is a specific regulatory filing related to share schemes and listing requirements, but it is not a comprehensive report like a 10-K or IR. Since it is a formal regulatory announcement provided via the London Stock Exchange's news service (RNS), and it doesn't fit perfectly into the specific categories like DIRS, DIV, or SHA (which usually relate to transactions or changes), the most appropriate general regulatory filing category is RNS, as it is explicitly branded as an RNS document and is a routine disclosure.

Total Voting Rights
Regulatory Filings Classification · 98% confidence The document is very short (1322 characters) and explicitly states it is providing an update regarding 'Voting Rights and Share Capital' as per DTR 5.6.1. It announces a change in the total number of shares in issue (944,700,806) and confirms the total voting rights. This directly relates to changes in the capital structure and shareholder voting rights denominator. While it touches upon share capital, the primary focus is the notification of the total voting rights figure, which is a specific regulatory disclosure. The presence of 'RNS Number' and the closing statement 'This information is provided by RNS' suggests it is a general regulatory announcement. However, the content specifically details the total number of shares and voting rights, which aligns closely with 'Share Issue/Capital Change' (SHA) or potentially a specific regulatory filing. Given the explicit mention of the total share count being used as the denominator for disclosure rules, it is a notification of a change in the total share capital base. SHA covers 'new share issues, stock splits, or other capital changes.' Since new shares were issued, SHA is the most precise fit over the general RNS category.

DS SMITH PLC - 2015/16 HALF YEAR RESULTS
Interim / Quarterly Report Classification · 100% confidence The document is a comprehensive financial report for the six-month period ending 31 October 2015 for DS Smith Plc. It contains detailed financial statements, including revenue, operating profit, profit before tax, EPS, and dividend information, as well as an operating review by region. It is not a short announcement or a certification, but rather the substantive interim financial report itself, which fits the definition of an Interim / Quarterly Report (IR). H1 2015

Total Voting Rights
Regulatory Filings Classification · 98% confidence The document is very short (1325 characters) and explicitly states it is an 'RNS Number' notification. The content details an update to the total number of shares in issue and confirms the total voting rights, referencing DTR 5.6.1. This type of notification regarding the total share capital and voting rights denominator is a specific regulatory disclosure. While it relates to share capital, the primary function here is a mandatory regulatory update about the share count, which fits best under the general 'Regulatory Filings' (RNS) category, or potentially 'Share Issue/Capital Change' (SHA). Given the context of an RNS number and the nature of the disclosure (a notification of the denominator for transparency rules), RNS is a strong fit, but SHA specifically covers changes in share capital. Since the core message is the issuance of new shares and the resulting total share capital figure, SHA is more precise than the general RNS fallback. However, the document explicitly states 'This information is provided by RNS' and carries an RNS number, suggesting it is being disseminated via the Regulatory News Service. Since the definitions do not have a specific code for 'Voting Rights and Share Capital Update' other than SHA or RNS, and SHA is defined as 'Announcement regarding new share issues, stock splits, or other capital changes,' this document fits SHA well. I will choose SHA as it is more specific to the content (share issuance update) than the general RNS dissemination channel.
