Filing Released Lang Actions
Total Voting Rights
Regulatory Filings Classification · 98% confidence The document is very short (1319 characters) and explicitly states it is providing an update on 'Voting Rights and Share Capital' in conformity with DTR 5.6.1. It announces that 1,217,038 Ordinary Shares have been issued, bringing the total to 940,634,531, and states this figure is the denominator for shareholder notification calculations. This content directly relates to changes in the total number of shares and voting rights, which aligns best with the 'Share Issue/Capital Change' definition (SHA). Although it is presented via RNS, the specific nature of the content (share count update) makes SHA a more precise classification than the general RNS fallback.

Director/PDMR Shareholding
Remuneration Information Classification · 99% confidence The document explicitly states it is an 'RNS Number' notification from DS Smith Plc, dated 30 July 2014. The content details share transactions (awards under Bonus Plan and Performance Share Plan) by PDMRs (Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities) and Directors (Miles Roberts, Adrian Marsh, Richard Stuckes). This type of filing, reporting personal share transactions by company directors and executives, directly corresponds to the definition of Director's Dealing (DIRS). Although it is distributed via RNS, the specific content dictates the DIRS classification over the general RNS fallback.

Additional Listing
Regulatory Filings Classification · 98% confidence The document is very short (844 characters) and announces an application for a block listing of 5,000,000 Ordinary shares to be issued under the Sharesave Plan. This action directly relates to the issuance of new shares and changes in the capital structure. This fits the definition of 'Share Issue/Capital Change' (SHA). Although it is a regulatory announcement format (RNS Number present), the specific content points directly to SHA rather than the general RNS fallback.

Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 99% confidence The document is identified by the RNS Number (3892M) and contains the heading 'TR-1(i): NOTIFICATION OF MAJOR INTERESTS IN SHARES'. This form type specifically reports changes in significant share ownership, where a shareholder crosses or reaches a notification threshold (in this case, 3%). This directly corresponds to the definition of Major Shareholding Notification (MRQ). Although it is an RNS filing, MRQ is the more specific category for this content.
2014-07-15 English
Director/PDMR Shareholding
Director's Dealing Classification · 100% confidence The document is clearly identified by the 'RNS Number' and contains a 'Notification of Transactions of Directors/Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility and Connected Persons'. It details the purchase of shares by an executive's connected person (Alison Griffiths, wife of Ian Ward Griffiths) and is dated 14 July 2014. This specific type of insider transaction reporting aligns perfectly with the definition of Director's Dealing (DIRS). Although it is distributed via RNS, the content is highly specific to insider trades, making DIRS the most accurate classification over the general RNS fallback.

Total Voting Rights
Regulatory Filings Classification · 98% confidence The document is very short (1315 characters) and explicitly states it is providing an update regarding 'Voting Rights and Share Capital' in conformity with DTR 5.6.1, notifying the market of the total number of shares in issue (939,417,493). This directly relates to the total voting rights denominator used by shareholders. This content aligns best with either a Share Issue/Capital Change (SHA) or a general Regulatory Filing (RNS). Since the primary purpose is to update the total share count for voting purposes, it fits the definition of a notification regarding capital structure changes, specifically related to the total number of shares outstanding, which is covered by 'Share Issue/Capital Change' (SHA). However, given the context of an RNS number and the nature of a routine regulatory disclosure under DTR rules, 'RNS' is often used for these specific, short regulatory updates that aren't a full financial report or a specific transaction like a buyback. Reviewing the definitions, 'SHA' covers 'new share issues, stock splits, or other capital changes.' The issuance of 31,871 shares constitutes a 'new share issue' leading to a capital change notification. Therefore, SHA is the most precise fit over the general RNS fallback, although RNS is also plausible for the delivery mechanism.
