Filing Released Lang Actions
Block listing Interim Review
Share Issue/Capital Change Classification · 99% confidence The document is identified by the header 'RNS Number : 0459O' and contains information related to a 'BLOCK LISTING SIX MONTHLY RETURN' for the 'DS Smith Sharesave Plan'. It details the balance of unallotted securities over a six-month period (May 28, 2024, to November 28, 2024). This type of periodic return concerning share schemes and listing obligations is a specific regulatory filing. While it relates to capital/shares, the structure and explicit mention of 'RNS' and the nature of a 'Six Monthly Return' strongly suggest it falls under general regulatory announcements or a specific filing type not explicitly listed. Given the options, 'RNS' (Regulatory Filings) is the most appropriate general category for a standard, periodic filing submitted via the RNS system that doesn't fit perfectly into CAP, SHA, or POS, especially since it's a return about an existing scheme rather than a new issuance announcement. However, since it deals specifically with the balance of unallotted securities under a share scheme, it is closely related to capital changes. Reviewing the definitions, 'RNS' is the best fit for miscellaneous regulatory updates provided via the RNS system. The document is short and is a formal return, not an announcement *about* a report.

Block listing Interim Review
Share Issue/Capital Change Classification · 99% confidence The document is identified by the header 'RNS Number' and contains information provided by 'RNS, the news service of the London Stock Exchange'. The content details a 'BLOCK LISTING SIX MONTHLY RETURN' for a specific share plan over a six-month period (May 28, 2024, to November 28, 2024), reporting the balance of unallotted securities. This is a routine regulatory filing related to share schemes, but it does not fit neatly into the specific categories like Capital Change (SHA) or Transaction in Own Shares (POS), as it is a specific return format for block listings. Given the nature of a routine, non-core financial report distributed via the RNS system, and lacking a more specific fit among the defined codes (like 10-K, ER, IR), the most appropriate classification is the general regulatory filing fallback category.

Holding(s) in Company
Director's Dealing Classification · 98% confidence The document is clearly identified by the header 'RNS Number : 9198N' and contains the standard formatting for a regulatory notification disseminated via RNS (Regulatory News Service). The content details 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings' concerning an acquisition or disposal of voting rights by 'Bank of America Corporation' in 'DS SMITH PLC'. This specific form (TR-1) is used to report changes in significant share ownership, which directly corresponds to the definition of Major Shareholding Notification (MRQ). Although RNS is mentioned, the content is highly specific to a major holding change, making MRQ the most accurate classification over the general RNS fallback.

Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 99% confidence The document is clearly identified by the header 'RNS Number : 9092N' and contains the standard format for 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings'. This form is used to report changes in significant share ownership (crossing thresholds). This directly corresponds to the definition of Major Shareholding Notification (MRQ). Although it is distributed via RNS, the specific content dictates the MRQ classification over the general RNS fallback.

Form 8.3 - Smith (DS) plc
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 99% confidence The document is explicitly titled "FORM 8.3 - PUBLIC OPENING POSITION DISCLOSURE/DEALING DISCLOSURE BY A PERSON WITH INTERESTS IN RELEVANT SECURITIES REPRESENTING 1% OR MORE" and references "Rule 8.3 of the Takeover Code (the “Code”)". This form is used in the context of a takeover bid (indicated by referencing an 'offeror/offeree' and 'party to the offer', specifically Smith (DS) plc and International Paper Company). Disclosures related to takeover activity, insider dealings during a bid, or significant shareholdings related to a bid often fall under specific regulatory categories. Since the document details the positions and dealings of a person/entity (Millennium International Management LP) concerning securities involved in a potential takeover, it is most closely related to M&A Activity (TAR) or, given its nature as a specific regulatory disclosure related to a takeover, it could be considered a specialized filing. However, the core subject is the disclosure of interests during a takeover process. Among the provided codes, 'TAR' (M&A Activity) is the most relevant context, as Form 8.3 is intrinsically linked to takeover bids. If a more specific code for Takeover Disclosures existed, it would be preferred, but TAR covers the underlying activity. It is not a standard 10-K, ER, or IR. It is a specific regulatory filing related to M&A.

Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 99% confidence The document is explicitly titled 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings' and contains detailed sections (1 through 11) regarding the acquisition or disposal of voting rights by a major shareholder (Bank of America Corporation) in the issuer (DS Smith PLC). This structure is characteristic of regulatory filings related to significant ownership changes. The presence of 'RNS Number' and the footer mentioning RNS (the news service of the London Stock Exchange) confirms it is a regulatory disclosure. This type of filing, reporting changes in major shareholdings, maps directly to the 'Major Shareholding Notification' category.
