Filing Released Lang Actions
Transaction in Own Shares
Transaction in Own Shares Classification · 99% confidence The document explicitly states 'Transaction in Own Shares' and details the purchase of 20,000 ordinary shares by WH Smith PLC on August 23, 2018, including the highest, lowest, and average prices paid. This directly corresponds to the definition of 'Transaction in Own Shares' (share repurchase/issuance). The RNS Number and the reference to the London Stock Exchange confirm it is a regulatory filing, but the specific content points directly to the POS code. The document length is short (2169 chars), but it contains the full transaction details, not just an announcement that a transaction occurred, thus it is classified as the transaction report itself, not RPA or RNS.
