Filing Released Lang Actions
Total Voting Rights
Regulatory Filings Classification · 95% confidence The document is very short (1279 characters) and contains an RNS Number, a date (30 April 2019), and explicitly states information regarding the total number of ordinary shares with voting rights (108,156,465). It mentions the Disclosure and Transparency Rule 5.6.1 and provides the total share count as the denominator for shareholder notification calculations. This content relates to the company's capital structure and voting rights denominator, which is a specific regulatory disclosure. While it relates to capital (CAP) or voting rights (DVA), the format is a standard regulatory announcement disseminated via RNS. Given the explicit mention of 'RNS Number' and the nature of the disclosure (a formal notification of total voting rights), the most appropriate classification is RNS, as it is a general regulatory announcement that doesn't fit the more specific categories like DIV, SHA, or DVA (which is for results, not just the denominator announcement). However, since it specifically details the capital structure for voting rights calculation, it strongly aligns with the intent of a regulatory filing that isn't a full report. Given the options, RNS is the best fit for a standard, short regulatory update disseminated through the RNS system.

Interim Results
Interim / Quarterly Report Classification · 100% confidence The document is an 'Interim Results Announcement' for WH Smith PLC for the six months ended 28 February 2019. It contains detailed financial summaries, revenue performance tables, management commentary, and operational updates. While it is released via an RNS (Regulatory News Service) feed, it is a comprehensive interim financial report containing substantive financial data and analysis, not merely a notification of a report's availability. Therefore, it is classified as an Interim/Quarterly Report (IR). H2 2019

Total Voting Rights
Regulatory Filings Classification · 98% confidence The document is very short (1279 characters) and contains an RNS Number (5126U) and is dated March 29, 2019. The content explicitly states the total number of ordinary shares with voting rights (108,156,187) and confirms that no shares are held in treasury. This information is provided for shareholders to use as the denominator for calculating their notification requirements under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules. This is a standard regulatory notification regarding the total issued share capital and voting rights, which fits the description of a general regulatory announcement, often distributed via RNS. While it relates to capital structure, it is not a formal 'Share Issue/Capital Change' (SHA) but rather a mandatory periodic disclosure of the current total share count. Given the source (RNS Number) and the nature of the disclosure (total voting rights denominator), the most appropriate classification is Regulatory Filings (RNS), as it is a general regulatory announcement.

Total Voting Rights
Regulatory Filings Classification · 98% confidence The document is very short (1283 characters) and contains an RNS Number (4573R) and the date 28 February 2019. The content explicitly states the total number of voting shares (108,156,160) and confirms that this number should be used as the denominator for calculating shareholder notification requirements under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules. This is a standard regulatory notification regarding the total issued share capital for voting purposes. While it relates to capital structure, its primary function is a mandatory regulatory disclosure disseminated via RNS. Since there is no specific category for 'Total Voting Rights Disclosure' and it is not a general announcement of a report (RPA), the most appropriate classification is the general regulatory filing category, RNS.

BOARD CHANGES
Board/Management Information Classification · 99% confidence The document is clearly identified by the 'RNS Number' header and the closing statement mentioning 'RNS, the news service of the London Stock Exchange' and approval by the 'Financial Conduct Authority'. The primary content announces 'BOARD CHANGES' and details the appointment of new directors (Carl Cowling, Simon Emeny, and Maurice Thompson). This directly corresponds to the definition of Board/Management Information (MANG). Although it is distributed via RNS, the core subject matter is management changes, making MANG the most specific classification.

Block listing Interim Review
Share Issue/Capital Change Classification · 99% confidence The document is identified by the 'RNS Number' header and explicitly states it is a 'BLOCK LISTING SIX MONTHLY RETURN' for WH Smith PLC, covering a six-month period (25.08.18 to 24.02.19). This return details the balance of unallotted securities under share schemes (SSS and ESOS). This type of filing, which reports on the status of securities or capital structure changes via the Regulatory News Service (RNS), fits best under the general 'Regulatory Filings' category (RNS) as there is no specific code for a 'Block Listing Return'. It is not a full financial report (10-K, IR), an earnings release (ER), or a specific director dealing report (DIRS).
