Filing Released Lang Actions
WH Smith PLC Proposed New Articles of Association (redline)
Governance Information Classification · 98% confidence The document text consists of a table of contents and excerpts detailing the 'NEW ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION' for 'WH SMITH PLC', adopted by a special resolution. Articles of Association define the rules and governance structure for how a company is run, including rules for share capital, general meetings, directors, and board proceedings. This content directly relates to the company's internal rules and governance practices, which aligns with the definition of Governance Information (CGR). It is not an Annual Report (10-K), an Audit Report (AR), or a proxy statement (DEF 14A/PSI), but rather the foundational constitutional document.

WH Smith PLC AGM Proxy Form 2024
Proxy Solicitation & Information Statement Classification · 100% confidence The document is explicitly titled 'Form of Proxy – Annual General Meeting' and contains an 'Attendance Card' for the 'Annual General Meeting' (AGM) scheduled for January 26, 2024. It details instructions for appointing a proxy, voting on specific resolutions (including receiving accounts, approving remuneration, declaring dividends, and electing/re-electing directors), and provides a map to the venue. This material is directly related to soliciting shareholder votes and providing information for the AGM. Therefore, it fits the definition of AGM Information (AGM-R) or Proxy Solicitation & Information Statement (PSI). Since it is a proxy form used to appoint a representative for voting at the AGM, AGM-R is the most precise fit, as it covers materials shared during the AGM process, which includes proxy solicitation.

WH Smith PLC AGM Notice of Meeting 2024
AGM Information Classification · 100% confidence The document is explicitly titled "Notice of WH Smith PLC Annual General Meeting" and contains the formal notice, date, time, and location for the AGM (Friday 26 January 2024). It details the resolutions shareholders are asked to vote on, including the election/re-election of directors, approval of accounts, dividend declaration, and authorities for share allotment and political donations. This content perfectly matches the definition of materials shared during an Annual General Meeting. Although it mentions the 'Annual report 2023' and the 'Remuneration report' (Resolution 2), the primary purpose and structure of this document is the formal notice and agenda for the AGM, not the reports themselves. Therefore, the classification should be AGM-R.

WH Smith PLC Annual Report 2023
Annual Report Classification · 100% confidence The document is explicitly titled 'Annual Report and Accounts 2023' for WH Smith PLC. It contains a comprehensive breakdown of the company's strategic report, corporate governance, financial statements (including income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow), and notes to the financial statements. It is a full-length annual report, not an announcement or a summary, and thus fits the definition of a 10-K (Annual Report). FY 2023

Total Voting Rights
Declaration of Voting Results & Voting Rights Announcements Classification · 100% confidence The document is titled 'RNS Number : 2480V' and explicitly states it is providing information via 'RNS, the news service of the London Stock Exchange.' The content details the total number of ordinary shares with voting rights (130,912,453) and confirms that no shares are held in treasury. This information is provided for the purpose of calculating shareholder notification requirements under Disclosure and Transparency Rule 5.6.1. This type of mandatory disclosure regarding total voting rights and capital structure, distributed via the RNS system, fits best under the general 'Regulatory Filings' category (RNS) as it is not a specific financial report (like 10-K or IR) or a specific corporate action announcement (like DIV or SHA), but rather a routine regulatory update disseminated through the primary information provider.
2023-11-30 English
Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 100% confidence The document is clearly identified by the header 'RNS Number : 3640U' and contains the standard formatting and disclosure requirements for a major shareholding notification in the UK market, specifically using the 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings'. This form details the acquisition or disposal of voting rights by a shareholder (Boston Partners) crossing a notification threshold (5.040000%). This directly corresponds to the definition of Major Shareholding Notification (MRQ).
