Filing Released Lang Actions
Transaction in Own Shares
Transaction in Own Shares Classification · 100% confidence The document is an RNS announcement from WH Smith PLC dated 08 January 2025. The title and content explicitly state 'WH Smith PLC - Transaction in Own Shares' and detail the purchase of ordinary shares as part of a buyback programme.

2025-01-08 English
Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 99% confidence The document is clearly identified by the header 'RNS Number : 6280S' and contains the standard formatting and disclosure requirements for a major shareholding notification in the UK market, specifically referencing 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings'. This form details the acquisition or disposal of voting rights by a shareholder (Marathon Asset Management Limited) crossing a threshold. This directly corresponds to the definition of a Major Shareholding Notification (MRQ). Although it is distributed via RNS, the specific content dictates the MRQ classification over the general RNS fallback.

Transaction in Own Shares
Transaction in Own Shares Classification · 99% confidence The document is an RNS announcement dated January 7, 2025, from WH Smith PLC. The title explicitly states 'WH Smith PLC - Transaction in Own Shares' and the content details the purchase of 25,063 ordinary shares as part of a buyback programme, including aggregated data and a detailed breakdown of individual trades. This directly matches the definition for 'Transaction in Own Shares' (Code: POS). Although it is an RNS filing, the specific nature of the transaction (share repurchase) makes POS the most accurate classification over the general RNS fallback.

Transaction in Own Shares
Transaction in Own Shares Classification · 100% confidence The document is an RNS announcement from WH Smith PLC dated 06 January 2025. The title explicitly states 'WH Smith PLC - Transaction in Own Shares' and the body details the purchase of ordinary shares as part of a buyback programme, including aggregated data and a detailed schedule of individual trades. This directly corresponds to the definition of 'Transaction in Own Shares', which maps to the filing type code POS (Report of the company buying back or selling its own shares (share repurchase/issuance)). The presence of the RNS Number (3100S) confirms it is a regulatory disclosure, but the specific content dictates the more precise classification.
2025-01-06 English
Total Voting Rights
Declaration of Voting Results & Voting Rights Announcements Classification · 100% confidence The document is very short (1746 characters) and explicitly states it is an RNS Number (7709R) from the London Stock Exchange. The content details the total number of voting rights and shares outstanding as of a specific date (31 December 2024), which is a mandatory regulatory disclosure under Disclosure and Transparency Rule 5.6.1. This type of routine regulatory update, which is not a comprehensive report (like 10-K or IR) but a notification, fits best under the general 'Regulatory Filings' category (RNS) or potentially 'Declaration of Voting Rights & Voting Rights Announcements' (DVA). Since it is a notification about the capital structure used for voting rights calculations, DVA is highly specific. However, given the explicit 'RNS Number' header and the nature of the disclosure being a routine regulatory update provided by RNS, classifying it as RNS (Regulatory Filings) is appropriate as a broad category for LSE regulatory announcements, although DVA is also a strong candidate. Given the context of RNS being the source and the content being a capital/voting rights update, RNS is the most encompassing fit for a general regulatory announcement not covered by other specific report types.

Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 99% confidence The document is explicitly labeled with 'RNS Number : 4369R' and contains the standard header/footer information associated with RNS (Regulatory News Service) announcements from the London Stock Exchange. The content details a 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings' by Artemis Investment Management LLP regarding WH Smith PLC, crossing a voting rights threshold (5.008930%). This type of mandatory disclosure regarding changes in significant share ownership directly corresponds to the Major Shareholding Notification category.
