Filing Released Lang Actions
Total Voting Rights
Regulatory Filings Classification · 98% confidence The document is very short (1285 characters) and contains an RNS Number, indicating it is a regulatory announcement from the London Stock Exchange's RNS service. The content explicitly states the total number of ordinary shares with voting rights (108,181,791) as of December 31, 2018, referencing Disclosure and Transparency Rule 5.6.1. This type of notification regarding the total voting rights/capital structure is a standard regulatory disclosure. While it relates to capital structure, it is primarily a mandatory regulatory filing notification. Since it is a direct regulatory announcement using the RNS system and doesn't fit perfectly into specific categories like SHA (Share Issue) or CAP (Financing Update), the most appropriate general regulatory filing category is RNS. It is not an announcement of a report (RPA), but a specific regulatory data point.

WH SMITH PLC PURCHASE OF SHARES - CLOSED PERIOD
Transaction in Own Shares Classification · 99% confidence The document is an official announcement disseminated via RNS (London Stock Exchange news service). The content explicitly details the company (WH Smith PLC) entering into an arrangement for a share buyback program up to £5,000,000 during a closed period. This action—the company purchasing its own shares—directly corresponds to the definition of 'Transaction in Own Shares'. Therefore, the appropriate filing type code is POS.

Transaction in Own Shares
Transaction in Own Shares Classification · 99% confidence The document is explicitly titled 'Transactions in own shares' and details the purchase of ordinary shares by WH Smith PLC on December 7, 2018, as part of a buyback programme. This activity directly corresponds to the definition of 'Transaction in Own Shares'. The RNS Number header confirms it is a regulatory announcement, but the specific content points directly to code POS, which covers share repurchase/issuance. It is not a general regulatory filing (RNS) because a more specific category exists.

Transaction in Own Shares
Transaction in Own Shares Classification · 99% confidence The document explicitly states 'RNS Number : 7395J' and the title/subject is 'Transactions in own shares'. The content details the purchase of ordinary shares by WH Smith PLC as part of a buyback programme, including the date, number of shares, and transaction prices. This directly corresponds to the definition of 'Transaction in Own Shares' (POS). Although it is an RNS filing, the specific nature of the transaction makes POS the most accurate classification over the general RNS fallback.
