Filing Released Lang Actions
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 fields detailing the 'Identity of the issuer', 'Reason for the notification' (specifically 'An acquisition or disposal of voting rights'), and 'Total positions of person(s) subject to the notification obligation', showing percentage changes in share ownership (e.g., from 4.0336% to 5.1541%). This structure is characteristic of regulatory filings related to significant changes in share capital ownership. The RNS Number (3743R) and the mention of the FCA confirm it is a regulatory disclosure. This type of filing, reporting changes in major shareholdings, directly corresponds to the definition of Major Shareholding Notification (MRQ).

Trading Statement
Earnings Release Classification · 99% confidence The document is identified by the RNS Number (9222Q) and explicitly states it is an announcement from Smiths News plc dated 03 March 2021. It provides a 'Trading Update' for the 26-week period ending 27 February 2021, detailing key financial metrics (Adjusted EBITDA, Bank Net Debt) and confirming performance is in line with expectations. This content—a summary of recent financial performance for a period shorter than a year (H1 2021)—is characteristic of an Earnings Release (ER). It is not the full, comprehensive Interim Report (IR), but the initial announcement of results highlights. It is also clearly a regulatory news service announcement, but ER is more specific than the general RNS fallback. H1 2021
2021-03-03 English
Block listing Interim Review
Share Issue/Capital Change Classification · 99% confidence The document is identified by the 'RNS Number : 6716Q' and contains a 'BLOCK LISTING INTERIM REVIEW' for Smiths News PLC, covering share schemes (SNSS, SNES, CGSS) and reporting the balance of unallotted securities over a period (02.09.20 to 01.03.21). This type of filing, which reports on the status of securities reserved for employee share schemes, is a routine regulatory disclosure. Since it does not fit the specific definitions for AGM, 10-K, ER, DIRS, or CAP, and it is a formal regulatory announcement distributed via RNS, the most appropriate general category is Regulatory Filings (RNS). It is not a specific financial report (like IR or 10-K) nor a specific announcement like a dividend (DIV) or management change (MANG).
2021-03-01 English
Second Price Monitoring Extn
Regulatory Filings Classification · 98% confidence The document is very short (1932 characters) and contains the header 'RNS Number : 1127N'. It discusses a 'Second Price Monitoring Extension' related to trading activity on the London Stock Exchange. The text explicitly states, 'This information is provided by RNS, the news service of the London Stock Exchange.' This strongly indicates a general regulatory announcement or market notice distributed via the RNS system, which aligns best with the 'Regulatory Filings' category (RNS), as it is not a specific financial report, management change, or shareholder vote result.

Price Monitoring Extension
Regulatory Filings Classification · 99% confidence The document is very short (1915 characters) and contains the header 'RNS Number : 1116N' and mentions 'RNS, the news service of the London Stock Exchange' and 'Financial Conduct Authority'. The content describes a 'Price Monitoring Extension' for an auction call, which is a specific, brief operational announcement related to trading mechanics, not a comprehensive financial report or a standard regulatory filing like 10-K or ER. Since it is a general regulatory announcement that doesn't fit the specific categories (like DIV, DIRS, ER, etc.), the most appropriate fallback category is Regulatory Filings (RNS).
2021-01-27 English
Business of Annual General Meeting
AGM Information Classification · 99% confidence The document explicitly states it contains the 'BUSINESS' passed at an 'Annual General Meeting of the Company duly convened and held on 27 January 2021'. It details several 'ORDINARY RESOLUTION' and 'SPECIAL RESOLUTIONS' concerning share allotment, pre-emptive rights, and share purchases (buybacks). This content—the formal resolutions passed during the AGM—is characteristic of the official minutes or results of an Annual General Meeting. Therefore, the appropriate classification is AGM Information (AGM-R).
