Filing Released Lang Actions
Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 99% confidence The document is titled 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings' and is issued by WH Smith PLC on 21 January 2021, referencing RNS Number 5138M. The content explicitly details changes in voting rights and financial instruments held by BlackRock, Inc., crossing a notification threshold (5.11% total).

Result of AGM
AGM Information Classification · 100% confidence The document explicitly states in the title and body: "WH Smith PLC # Result of Annual General Meeting" and details the poll results for 18 resolutions voted on at the AGM held on January 20, 2021. This content directly corresponds to the definition of AGM Information, which is classified as AGM-R. Although it mentions submitting results to the National Storage Mechanism (which might suggest RPA or RNS), the primary content is the detailed result summary of the meeting itself, making AGM-R the most specific and accurate classification.
2021-01-20 English
AGM Special Business
AGM Information Classification · 100% confidence The document explicitly states it contains the 'RESOLUTIONS' passed at the 'Annual General Meeting of the Company duly convened and held on 20 January 2021'. It details Ordinary and Special Resolutions concerning political donations, share allotment authorities, and share repurchase authorizations, which are typical agenda items and outcomes of an AGM. This directly corresponds to the definition of AGM Information.
2021-01-20 English
Board Change
Board/Management Information Classification · 99% confidence The document explicitly states 'WH Smith PLC BOARD CHANGE' and announces the appointment of a new non-executive director, Kal Atwal, effective February 1, 2021. This directly corresponds to the definition of Board/Management Information (MANG), which covers announcements of changes in the company's board of directors or senior management. The RNS Number and the nature of the announcement confirm it is a regulatory disclosure regarding internal governance structure changes.
2021-01-20 English
Trading Update
Earnings Release Classification · 98% confidence The document is titled 'Trading Update' and provides key financial and operational metrics for WH Smith PLC for the 20-week period ending January 16, 2021. It discusses revenue percentages compared to 2019, cash position, and outlook, which are characteristic of an Earnings Release (ER) or a section within an Interim Report (IR). However, the document explicitly states: 'WH Smith PLC will announce its 2021 Interim results on Thursday 29 April 2021.' This indicates the current document is a pre-results update, focusing on trading performance highlights rather than the full, comprehensive financial statements found in an IR. Furthermore, the document is distributed via RNS (RNS Number: 2220M) and contains general trading commentary, fitting the definition of an initial announcement of periodical financial results (key highlights only). Therefore, 'Earnings Release' (ER) is the most appropriate classification. Q2 2021

Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 100% confidence The document is titled 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings' and is issued by WH Smith PLC on 18 January 2021, referencing RNS Number 0718M. The content explicitly details an 'acquisition or disposal of voting rights' and 'financial instruments' by BlackRock, Inc., crossing a threshold. This structure and content perfectly match the requirements for a Major Shareholding Notification, which reports changes in significant ownership levels crossing regulatory thresholds. This corresponds to the code MRQ.
