Filing Released Lang Actions
Interim Results
Earnings Release Classification · 100% confidence The document is titled 'WH SMITH PLC INTERIM RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT For the six months ended 28 February 2021'. It contains detailed financial summaries, including revenue, profit/loss figures, earnings per share, and commentary on business performance over a six-month period. This structure and content are characteristic of a comprehensive financial report covering a period shorter than a full year. The term 'Interim Results' directly corresponds to the definition of an Interim/Quarterly Report (IR). Although it is an announcement, the text provided is extensive (over 12,000 characters) and contains the core financial data, making it the report itself rather than just a brief publication notice (RPA/RNS).

NEW FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
Capital/Financing Update Classification · 98% confidence The document is an RNS announcement from WH Smith PLC dated April 28, 2021. The primary subject is the announcement of 'NEW FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS & CONVERTIBLE BOND OFFERING' and the associated details regarding new bank facilities and the launch of a £325m Convertible Bond offering. This clearly relates to the company's fundraising and capital structure changes. This aligns directly with the definition for Capital/Financing Update (CAP). Although it is an RNS announcement, the core content is the financing event itself, not just a notice that a report is attached (which would suggest RPA or RNS). The document explicitly mentions that the Interim results were announced separately, confirming this document's focus is the financing transaction.
2021-04-28 English
Total Voting Rights
Declaration of Voting Results & Voting Rights Announcements Classification · 100% confidence The document is very short (1712 characters) and explicitly states it is an RNS Number notification from the London Stock Exchange. The content details the total number of ordinary shares with voting rights (130,905,073) as of March 31, 2021, referencing Disclosure and Transparency Rule 5.6.1. This information relates to the total voting rights and capital structure, which is a specific regulatory disclosure. While it contains capital information, its primary function here is a regulatory announcement via the RNS system, rather than a comprehensive Capital/Financing Update (CAP) or Share Issue (SHA). Given the context of being an RNS notification providing a specific regulatory figure (total shares for denominator calculation), it fits best under the general regulatory announcement category, RNS, as it is not one of the more specific financial report types.
2021-03-31 English
Financing and Trading Update
Capital/Financing Update Classification · 97% confidence The document is titled 'Financing and Trading Update' and details the successful extension of bank financing arrangements, changes to loan maturities and covenants, and provides a brief trading update for January and February 2021, including expected cash burn. It also announces the date for the upcoming 'Interim Results'. This content focuses on capital structure changes (financing extension) and operational performance updates, which aligns best with the 'Capital/Financing Update' (CAP) category, as the primary focus is on debt restructuring and liquidity management. While it contains trading updates, it is not the formal 'Earnings Release' (ER) or the comprehensive 'Interim Report' (IR). Since it is a specific update on financing, CAP is the most precise fit. The document is also clearly an RNS announcement, but CAP is more specific than the general RNS code.

Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 100% confidence The document is clearly identified by the header 'RNS Number : 0099R' and contains the standard format '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 Major Shareholding Notification. The document details the percentage change (from 5.93% to 4.93%) crossing a notification threshold on '1 March 2021'. This aligns perfectly with the 'Major Shareholding Notification' category (MRQ). Although it is distributed via RNS, the specific content dictates the classification over the general RNS fallback.
