Filing Released Lang Actions
Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 99% confidence The document is clearly identified by the header 'RNS Number : 4274N' and the footer 'This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange'. The content is a 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings', which details changes in voting rights held by Neptune Investment Management Limited in Spirent Communications Plc, crossing a threshold (from 4.96% to 5.17%). This type of mandatory disclosure regarding significant changes in share ownership directly maps to the Major Shareholding Notification category.

Half Year Report 2017
Interim / Quarterly Report Classification · 100% confidence The document is a 'Half Year Report 2017' for Spirent Communications PLC. It contains comprehensive financial data, including revenue, operating profit, earnings per share, and cash flow for the six-month period ended 30 June 2017. It also includes operational highlights, a performance review, and management commentary. Since it provides substantive financial statements and analysis for a period shorter than a full fiscal year, it is classified as an Interim/Quarterly Report (IR). H1 2017
2017-08-03 English
Total Voting Rights
Regulatory Filings Classification · 98% confidence The document is identified by the 'RNS Number' header and explicitly states it is providing 'Additional information' regarding the 'TOTAL VOTING RIGHTS AND CAPITAL' as of a specific date (31 July 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), but rather a periodic regulatory update required by the FCA Disclosure and Transparency Rules. Since it is a specific regulatory notification that doesn't fit the other precise categories (like DIV, DIRS, or ER), and it is short and clearly an announcement, it falls best under the general regulatory filing category, RNS, which serves as a catch-all for such mandatory disclosures not covered elsewhere. The document length (3944 chars) is short, supporting the idea that it is an announcement rather than a comprehensive report.
2017-08-01 English
Director/PDMR Shareholding
Director's Dealing Classification · 100% confidence The document is clearly identified by the header 'RNS Number : 0272M' and concludes with 'This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange'. The content details share transactions by PDMRs (Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities), specifically the CEO and EVP Global Sales, including the nature of the transaction (purchase under employee plans), price, volume, and resulting total holdings. This type of mandatory disclosure regarding insider trading or executive share dealings aligns perfectly with the definition of Director's Dealing (DIRS). Although it is distributed via RNS, the specific subject matter dictates the DIRS classification over the general RNS fallback.
2017-07-25 English
Notice of Results
Report Publication Announcement Classification · 99% confidence The document is titled "Notice of 2017 Half Year Results Presentation" and explicitly states that the company "will announce its half year results for the six months ended 30 June 2017 on 3 August". It then details the time and location for the results presentation and webcast. This document is not the actual financial report (Interim Report, IR) or the results announcement itself (ER), but rather an announcement about the *timing* and *logistics* of the upcoming results presentation and the release of the half-year results. According to Rule 2, when a document announces the publication of a report, it should be classified as a Report Publication Announcement (RPA). The RNS number prefix also suggests a regulatory announcement, but RPA is more specific for this context.
2017-07-11 English
Block listing Interim Review
Regulatory Filings Classification · 98% confidence The document is explicitly titled 'BLOCK LISTING SIX MONTHLY RETURN' and is dated July 5, 2017, covering the period from January 1, 2017, to June 30, 2017. It details the balance of unallotted securities under various employee share option and purchase schemes. This type of periodic return concerning the status of securities reserved for employee plans, filed with a regulatory news service (indicated by 'RNS Number' and 'This information is provided by RNS'), is a specific type of regulatory filing. Since there is no specific category for 'Block Listing Return', and it is a mandatory periodic disclosure, it best fits the general 'Regulatory Filings' category (RNS) or potentially relates to capital structure changes (SHA/CAP), but RNS is the most appropriate catch-all for mandatory periodic disclosures that aren't standard financial reports (10-K, IR, ER). Given the context of RNS filings, RNS is the most suitable classification.
