Filing Released Lang Actions
Total Voting Rights
Declaration of Voting Results & Voting Rights Announcements Classification · 100% confidence The document is very short (1716 characters) and explicitly states it is an RNS Number notification from the London Stock Exchange. The content focuses on confirming the total number of voting rights and the total capital structure (130,879,983 ordinary shares) as required by Disclosure and Transparency Rule 5.6.1. This type of mandatory, brief regulatory update, which is not a full financial report (like 10-K or IR) or a specific announcement like a dividend or management change, fits best under the general 'Regulatory Filings' category (RNS), as it is a standard notification disseminated via the RNS service.
2021-01-29 English
Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 98% confidence The document is explicitly titled 'TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings' and contains RNS Number information, indicating it is a regulatory filing related to share ownership changes. Section 2 marks 'An acquisition or disposal of voting rights' as the reason. Section 7 details the resulting percentage of voting rights (4.9971%) crossing a threshold. This type of mandatory disclosure regarding significant changes in share ownership aligns directly with the definition of a Major Shareholding Notification (MRQ). Although it is distributed via RNS, the specific content is about a major holding change, making MRQ the most precise classification over the general RNS fallback.
2021-01-28 English
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). This structure and content perfectly match the requirements for reporting changes in significant share ownership, which corresponds to the Major Shareholding Notification category.
2021-01-21 English
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.
