Filing Released Lang Actions
Presentation via Investor Meet Company
Report Publication Announcement Classification · 99% confidence The document is a short announcement (3822 characters) released via RNS (RNS Number : 5505Q) on October 28, 2021. The core content states that Smiths News PLC 'is publishing its Audited Preliminary Results for the 52 weeks ended 28 August 2021 on Thursday, 4 November 2021' and will be presenting via the Investor Meet Company platform. Since the document is an announcement about the upcoming publication and presentation of results, and not the full results document itself, it fits the definition of a Report Publication Announcement (RPA). It announces the release of the Audited Preliminary Results, which would typically be an ER or AR, but this specific filing is the announcement of that event.
2021-10-28 English
Director Declaration
Board/Management Information Classification · 98% confidence The document is an RNS announcement (RNS Number : 9663M) dated September 27, 2021. The core content is a 'Notification of Change in Director's Details,' specifically noting that an independent non-executive director, Ms. Denise Collis, has been appointed to the board of another company (EMIS Group PLC). This type of announcement, detailing changes in the board of directors or senior management, directly corresponds to the definition of Board/Management Information (MANG). Although it is distributed via RNS, the specific content dictates the MANG classification over the general RNS fallback.
2021-09-27 English
Price Monitoring Extension
Regulatory Filings Classification · 98% confidence The document is very short (1917 characters) and contains the header 'RNS Number : 2040M' and explicitly mentions 'RNS, the news service of the London Stock Exchange' and that it is 'approved by the Financial Conduct Authority to act as a Primary Information Provider'. The content itself is a brief announcement regarding a 'Price Monitoring Extension' for a security, which is a standard operational update disseminated via the regulatory news service. This fits the definition of a general regulatory announcement that doesn't fit a specific financial report type. Therefore, the most appropriate classification is Regulatory Filings (RNS).
2021-09-17 English
Director Details Change
Board/Management Information Classification · 100% confidence The document is a formal notification issued via RNS (London Stock Exchange news service) on September 6, 2021. The title is "Notification of Change in Director's Details." It explicitly states that a senior independent non-executive director, Mr. Mark Whiteling, has been appointed to the board of another company (Xpediator PLC). This directly relates to changes in the company's board or senior management, which aligns perfectly with the definition for Board/Management Information (MANG). Although it uses the RNS distribution system, the core content is about management change, not just a general regulatory announcement or a report publication.
2021-09-06 English
Block listing Interim Review
Share Issue/Capital Change Classification · 99% confidence The document is explicitly labeled with 'RNS Number' and contains boilerplate text referencing 'RNS, the news service of the London Stock Exchange' and compliance with the Financial Conduct Authority. The content itself is a 'BLOCK LISTING INTERIM REVIEW' detailing the balance of unallotted securities under various share schemes (SNSS, SNES, CGSS) over a specific period (02.03.21 to 01.09.21). This type of routine regulatory update, especially one originating from RNS, fits best under the general 'Regulatory Filings' category, as it does not specifically match definitions for 10-K, ER, DIV, or DIRS, and is not an announcement of a report (RPA).
2021-09-01 English
Appointment of Chief Financial Officer
Board/Management Information Classification · 98% confidence The document is identified by the 'RNS Number' header and contains an announcement dated 11 August 2021 regarding the appointment of a new Chief Financial Officer (Paul Baker) and the retirement of the current CFO (Tony Grace). This type of announcement, detailing changes in senior management or the board of directors, directly corresponds to the definition of 'Board/Management Information'. The presence of the RNS (Regulatory News Service) identifier suggests it is a formal regulatory disclosure, but the specific content points clearly to MANG over the general RNS fallback.
