Filing Released Lang Actions
WHSmith AR2017
Annual Report Classification · 100% confidence The document is titled 'Annual report and accounts 2017' and contains comprehensive sections including a strategic report, corporate governance, financial statements, and independent auditor reports. It covers the full fiscal year performance of WH Smith PLC. This matches the definition of an Annual Report (10-K). FY 2017

Transaction in Own Shares
Transaction in Own Shares Classification · 100% confidence The document explicitly states its purpose in the title and body: "Transactions in own shares" and details the purchase of ordinary shares as part of a "buyback programme". This directly corresponds to the definition of 'Transaction in Own Shares' (POS), which covers company share repurchases. The filing is also marked with an RNS Number, indicating it is a regulatory announcement, but the specific content points overwhelmingly to POS.
2017-08-30 English
Pre Close Trading Update
Earnings Release Classification · 99% confidence The document is identified by the 'RNS Number' header and explicitly states, 'This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange'. The content is a 'PRE CLOSE TRADING UPDATE' providing brief operational highlights and confirming that the full year results are expected to be in line with expectations, while also announcing the date for the preliminary results presentation. Since it is a brief regulatory announcement disseminated via the RNS system that doesn't fit neatly into specific financial report categories (like 10-K or ER), and it is not an announcement *about* a report publication (RPA), the most appropriate classification is the general regulatory filing category. FY 2017

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 20,000 ordinary shares by WH Smith PLC on August 29, 2017, as part of a buyback programme. This activity directly corresponds to the definition of 'Transaction in Own Shares' (share repurchase). The RNS Number indicates it is a regulatory announcement, but the specific content points directly to code POS.

Block listing Interim Review
Share Issue/Capital Change Classification · 99% confidence The document is identified by the 'RNS Number : 0196P' and contains a 'BLOCK LISTING SIX MONTHLY RETURN' for WH Smith PLC, covering the period from 25.02.17 to 24.08.17. This type of filing relates to the reporting of unallotted securities under employee share schemes (SSS and ESOS). While it is a specific regulatory filing, it does not fit neatly into the defined categories like 10-K, IR, or ER. Since it is a formal regulatory announcement provided via RNS, and it is not a standard financial report or a specific corporate action like dividend or director dealing, the most appropriate general regulatory category is 'Regulatory Filings' (RNS), as it is explicitly sourced from the RNS service and deals with listing compliance.

Transaction in Own Shares
Transaction in Own Shares Classification · 100% confidence The document explicitly states its purpose in the title and body: "Transactions in own shares" and details the purchase of 20,000 ordinary shares by WH Smith PLC as part of a buyback programme. This directly corresponds to the definition of 'Transaction in Own Shares' (POS), which covers share repurchases. The presence of the RNS Number and the 'END' marker confirms it is a regulatory announcement, but the specific content dictates the most precise code (POS over RNS).
