Filing Released Lang Actions
Trading Statement
Earnings Release Classification · 99% confidence The document is identified by the RNS Number (3890Q) and explicitly states it is a 'Trading Update for the 13 Week Period to 2 June 2018'. This is a short announcement providing key sales figures and management commentary for a recent period, which aligns perfectly with the definition of an Earnings Release (ER). Although it contains trading updates, it is not the comprehensive financial report (like an IR or 10-K). The presence of the RNS header and footer confirms it is a regulatory announcement, but 'ER' is the most specific category for a periodic trading update. Q3 2018

Director Declaration
Board/Management Information Classification · 99% confidence The document is very short (1174 characters) and explicitly states it is a 'Director Declaration' regarding a 'Notification of change in Director's details' for Henry Staunton, Chairman of WH Smith PLC, who was appointed Chairman of another company. This directly relates to insider transactions or changes in director roles. Reviewing the definitions, 'Director's Dealing (Code: DIRS)' covers 'Report of personal share transactions by company directors and executives (insider trades)'. While this is a change in directorship role rather than a trade, the context of director disclosure strongly aligns with DIRS, which often encompasses related mandatory disclosures about directors' positions. Alternatively, since it is a mandatory regulatory notification via RNS, it could be RNS, but DIRS is more specific to the content. Given the content is a mandatory disclosure about a Director's external appointment, DIRS is the most appropriate fit among the specific categories related to directors/insiders.

Total Voting Rights
Regulatory Filings Classification · 98% confidence The document is very short (1275 characters) and contains an 'RNS Number' header, indicating it is a regulatory announcement from the London Stock Exchange's news service. The content explicitly states the total number of voting rights (110,119,148 ordinary shares) and confirms that no shares are held in treasury. This directly relates to the total capital structure for voting purposes, which is a specific regulatory disclosure. While it touches upon capital structure, the primary function is a mandatory disclosure of voting rights denominator, which is often categorized under general regulatory filings or specific voting/capital announcements. Given the structure and the RNS source, it fits best under the general 'Regulatory Filings' (RNS) category as a mandatory disclosure, although it is related to capital structure. It is not a full report (10-K, IR), nor is it a dividend notice (DIV) or a director's dealing (DIRS). Since it is a mandatory disclosure published via RNS, RNS is the most appropriate general classification.

Total Voting Rights
Declaration of Voting Results & Voting Rights Announcements Classification · 95% confidence The document is very short (963 characters) and contains an RNS Number (5635M), indicating it is a regulatory announcement from the London Stock Exchange. The content explicitly states the total number of ordinary shares with voting rights (110,119,148) and confirms that no shares are held in treasury. This information is used by shareholders to calculate their notification requirements under Disclosure and Transparency Rules. This directly relates to the total capital structure and voting rights denominator, which is a specific type of regulatory disclosure. While it touches upon capital structure, its primary function is a formal notification of the total voting rights figure. This fits best under 'Declaration of Voting Results & Voting Rights Announcements' (DVA) as it provides the denominator for voting rights notification, or potentially 'Regulatory Filings' (RNS) as a general regulatory update. Given the specific mention of 'Voting Rights and Capital' and the denominator calculation, DVA is the most precise fit among the specialized codes, although RNS is a strong fallback. Since it is a formal notification of the voting rights denominator, DVA is selected.
2018-04-30 English
Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 99% confidence The document is explicitly labeled with "RNS Number : 7809L" and contains the header "TR-1: Standard form for notification of major holdings". This form is used to report changes in significant share ownership, which directly corresponds to the definition of Major Shareholding Notification. The content details the percentage of voting rights crossed (from 5.38% to 4.95%) by Marathon Asset Management LLP concerning WH Smith plc. Although it is an RNS filing, the specific nature of the content (major holding notification) makes 'MRQ' (Major Shareholding Notification) the most precise classification over the general 'RNS' fallback.
2018-04-23 English
Interim Results Announcement
Interim / Quarterly Report Classification · 100% confidence The document is an 'Interim Results Announcement' for WH Smith PLC for the six months ended 28 February 2018. It contains detailed financial summaries, profit and loss data, revenue performance, and management commentary on business segments (Travel and High Street). Because it provides comprehensive financial results for a period shorter than a full fiscal year (interim period) and includes substantive financial data and analysis, it is classified as an Interim/Quarterly Report.
