Winalot is right again but for the benefit of SC
"The cost of publishing regulatory news through the Regulatory News Service (RNS) (part of the London Stock Exchange) varies depending on the type of announcement and the specific services required, but it's not a flat fee. Annual subscription fees for the service, plus individual announcement fees, will contribute to the overall cost.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Annual Subscription:
Public companies will need to pay an annual subscription fee to access the RNS.
Announcement Fees:
Each regulatory announcement published through the RNS will incur a fee. The exact amount of this fee can vary depending on the nature of the announcement (e.g., routine disclosures, major announcements, etc.).
Professional Fees:
Beyond the RNS fees, there may be professional fees associated with preparing and submitting the announcement. These fees will vary depending on the complexity of the announcement and the professional services required (e.g., legal advice, financial reporting).
AIM Fees:
If the company is listed on AIM (Alternative Investment Market), there are separate admission and annual fees, which are distinct from the RNS fees.
In short, there is no single, fixed cost for putting out regulatory news. It's a combination of ongoing subscription fees, individual announcement fees, and potentially professional fees.
IN SHORT: I don't want to see the company waste large sums of money on fairly insignificant news that are not about the company's own actions.
