Filing Released Lang Actions
Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 100% confidence The document is explicitly identified as an 'RNS Number' filing from 'Connect Group PLC' dated 30 September 2020. The content is a 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings'. This form is used to report changes in significant share ownership, which directly corresponds to the definition of a Major Shareholding Notification. The filing type code for Major Shareholding Notification is MRQ.
2020-09-30 English
Director/PDMR Shareholding
Director's Dealing Classification · 100% confidence The document is an official notification filed via RNS (RNS Number: 1549A) dated September 25, 2020. The content explicitly details share transactions (grant of options) by a PDMR (Person Discharging Managerial Responsibilities), specifically the Chief Executive Officer, Jonathan Bunting. This type of filing, reporting insider share transactions, directly corresponds to the definition of Director's Dealing (DIRS). Although it is distributed via RNS, the specific nature of the content overrides the general RNS fallback category.
2020-09-25 English
Director/PDMR Shareholding
Director's Dealing Classification · 100% confidence The document is an official notification filed under the RNS (Regulatory News Service) number 1545A, dated September 25, 2020. The content explicitly details share transactions (grant of options) by a Person Discharging Managerial Responsibilities (PDMR), Anthony Grace (CFO), and references Article 19 of the EU Market Abuse Regulation. This type of insider transaction disclosure is specifically covered by the 'Director's Dealing' category (DIRS). Although it is distributed via RNS, the specific nature of the content points directly to DIRS rather than the general RNS fallback.
2020-09-25 English
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 related to voting rights, share thresholds, and notification dates (08 September 2020). It is filed via 'RNS Number' and mentions the 'FCA' (Financial Conduct Authority). This structure is characteristic of a regulatory filing concerning changes in significant share ownership. This directly matches the definition for Major Shareholding Notification (MRQ). Although it is an RNS filing, MRQ is the more specific category for this content type.
2020-09-08 English
Block listing Interim Review
Capital/Financing Update Classification · 99% confidence The document is identified by the 'RNS Number' header and explicitly states it is provided by RNS, the news service of the London Stock Exchange. The content details a 'BLOCK LISTING INTERIM REVIEW' concerning various share schemes (SNSS, SNES, CGSS) and reports the balance of unallotted securities over a specific period (25.02.20 to 02.09.20). This type of routine regulatory update, especially one originating from the RNS system and dealing with share scheme balances, fits best under the general 'Regulatory Filings' category, as there is no specific code for 'Block Listing Review' or 'Share Scheme Update'. It is not a major shareholding change (MRQ), a capital change announcement (SHA), or a transaction in own shares (POS), but rather a periodic compliance filing.
2020-09-03 English
Major Shareholder Notification
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 99% confidence The document is explicitly titled 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings' and contains fields related to voting rights, share ownership thresholds, and notification dates (02 September 2020). It is issued via 'RNS Number : 8644X' and mentions the 'FCA' (Financial Conduct Authority). This structure is characteristic of a regulatory filing disclosing a change in a major shareholder's stake. This aligns best with the 'Major Shareholding Notification' category (MRQ), which covers notification of changes in significant share ownership levels crossing thresholds.
