Filing Released Lang Actions
Total Voting Rights
Regulatory Filings Classification · 98% confidence The document is explicitly marked with an 'RNS Number' and contains a notification to the market regarding the 'TOTAL VOTING RIGHTS AND CAPITAL' as of a specific date (30 November 2017). This type of mandatory disclosure, detailing the total number of shares and voting rights, is a standard regulatory announcement. While it relates to capital structure, it is not a financing activity (CAP) or a share repurchase (POS). It is a general regulatory update provided via the RNS system. Since the content is a specific regulatory disclosure about voting rights, it fits best under the general 'Regulatory Filings' (RNS) category, as there is no specific code for 'Total Voting Rights Notification'. Given the source (RNS Number) and the nature of the content (mandatory disclosure of share capital/voting rights), RNS is the most appropriate general classification.

Director/PDMR Shareholding
Director's Dealing Classification · 100% confidence The document explicitly contains the header 'RNS Number : 6076X' and details transactions involving shares by company personnel ('DIRECTOR / PDMR SHAREHOLDING'). This structure, reporting personal share transactions by directors and executives, directly matches the definition for Director's Dealing. Although it is distributed via RNS, the specific content dictates the classification should be DIRS.

Director/PDMR Shareholding
Director's Dealing Classification · 100% confidence The document is identified by the 'RNS Number' header and contains specific details about a transaction involving a director/PDMR (Person Discharging Managerial Responsibilities). Section 1 explicitly states 'Details of PDMR / person closely associated' and Section 4 details the 'Nature of the transaction' as 'Market purchase of shares' by the Chairman, Bill Thomas. This structure perfectly matches the definition of a Director's Dealing report, which is classified under the code DIRS.

Director/PDMR Shareholding
Director's Dealing Classification · 100% confidence The document is identified by the 'RNS Number' header and contains details about a 'DIRECTOR / PDMR SHAREHOLDING'. It explicitly reports on transactions (Market purchase of shares) made by a Non-executive Director (Gary Bullard) of Spirent Communications plc. This type of filing, reporting personal share transactions by company directors and executives, directly corresponds to the definition of Director's Dealing (DIRS). The presence of 'RNS Number' and the 'END' marker suggest it is a regulatory announcement, but the specific content points strongly to DIRS over the general RNS fallback.
2017-11-09 English
Trading Statement
Earnings Release Classification · 99% confidence The document is explicitly titled 'Third Quarter Trading Update' and provides key financial metrics (Order intake, Revenue, Adjusted operating profit) for the third quarter (1 July to 30 September 2017) and the nine months year to date. This content structure—a brief update on recent performance, key figures, and outlook—is characteristic of an Earnings Release (ER). Although it covers a period shorter than a year, it is presented as a 'Trading Update' rather than a comprehensive 'Interim Report' (IR), which usually contains more detailed financial statements. The presence of the RNS number and the 'RNS Number' header confirms it is a regulatory announcement, but the content itself is the earnings summary. Therefore, 'ER' is the most appropriate classification. Q3 2017
2017-11-09 English
Holding(s) in Company
Regulatory Filings Classification · 98% confidence The document is explicitly labeled as 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings' and carries an 'RNS Number'. RNS stands for Regulatory News Service, which is the primary channel for official regulatory announcements to the London Stock Exchange. The content details a change in shareholding percentage (crossing a threshold from 5% to 4.77%) by an investment manager, which is a mandatory disclosure for major shareholders. This type of filing, concerning insider/major shareholder transactions or holdings, falls under the category of regulatory notifications. Since 'Director's Dealing (DIRS)' is for directors/executives and this is a major shareholder notification (Artemis Investment Management LLP), and it is not a standard financial report (10-K, IR, ER), the most appropriate general category for mandatory regulatory disclosures that aren't covered by more specific codes like DIRS or DIV is 'Regulatory Filings' (RNS).
