Filing Released Lang Actions
Total Voting Rights
Regulatory Filings Classification · 98% confidence The document is very short (1332 characters) and explicitly states it is providing an update regarding 'Voting Rights and Share Capital' in conformity with DTR 5.6.1. It announces a specific change in the total number of shares in issue (an increase of 44,001 shares, bringing the total to 927,136,340). This content directly relates to changes in the total share count and voting rights denominator, which aligns best with the 'Share Issue/Capital Change' definition (SHA). Although it uses the RNS numbering system, the core content is a specific capital structure update, making SHA more precise than the general RNS fallback.

Director/PDMR Shareholding
Director's Dealing Classification · 100% confidence The document is explicitly labeled with an 'RNS Number' and contains a 'Notification of Transactions of Directors/Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibility and Connected Persons'. It details the purchase of ordinary shares by a director (GARETH DAVIS), including the number of shares, price, and resulting holding. This structure perfectly matches the requirements for reporting insider transactions, which falls under the 'Director's Dealing' category. Although it is distributed via RNS, the specific content dictates the classification as DIRS over the general RNS fallback.
2013-02-07 English
Directorate Change
Board/Management Information Classification · 99% confidence The document text explicitly announces a 'BOARD CHANGE' for DS Smith Plc, detailing the appointment of Chris Britton as a non-Executive Director, including his start date and relevant background experience. This directly aligns with the definition of Board/Management Information (MANG). The presence of the 'RNS Number' indicates it is a regulatory announcement, but the specific content points clearly to MANG over the general RNS fallback.

Total Voting Rights
Regulatory Filings Classification · 98% confidence The document is very short (1330 characters) and is titled 'Voting Rights and Share Capital Update'. It explicitly states the total number of shares in issue (927,092,339) and mentions that this figure should be used by shareholders for notification calculations under DTR 5.6.1. This content directly relates to the total voting rights and share capital structure, which aligns best with the 'Share Issue/Capital Change' (SHA) definition, as it reports a change in the total number of shares outstanding. Although it is a regulatory notification (RNS Number present), the specific content points strongly to SHA rather than the general RNS fallback.
2013-01-30 English
Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 99% confidence The document is identified by the 'RNS Number' header and contains the text 'TR-1: NOTIFICATION OF MAJOR INTERESTS IN SHARES'. This specific form (TR-1) is used to report changes in major shareholdings, which aligns directly with the definition for Major Shareholding Notification (MRQ). Although RNS is present, MRQ is the more specific classification for this type of regulatory filing concerning ownership thresholds.
2013-01-30 English
Holding(s) in Company
Declaration of Voting Results & Voting Rights Announcements Classification · 100% confidence The document is clearly identified by the 'RNS Number' header and contains the standard format for a regulatory notification, specifically 'TR-1(i): NOTIFICATION OF MAJOR INTERESTS IN SHARES'. This type of filing reports changes in significant shareholdings, which directly corresponds to the definition of Major Shareholding Notification (MRQ). Although RNS is a general category, MRQ is more specific for this content type.
