The notifications listed below are each in respect of a single transaction of which notification
was received under Paragraph 3.1.2 of the Disclosure Rules and, in respect of directors of Diageo
plc only, Section 324 of the Companies Act 1985.
Diageo plc (the ‘Company’) announces that:
1. It received notification on 10 April 2006 of the following allocations of ordinary shares of 28
101/108 pence in the Company (‘Ordinary Shares’) under the Diageo Share Incentive Plan (the
‘Plan’), namely:
(i) the following directors of the Company were allocated Ordinary Shares on 10 April 2006 under
the Plan, by Diageo Share Ownership Trustees Limited (the ‘Trustee’):
| |
|
|
| Name of Director |
|
Number of Ordinary Shares |
N C Rose
|
|
21 |
P S Walsh
|

Number of Ordinary Shares |
J Grover

A Morgan
|
|

The number of Ordinary Shares allocated comprises those purchased on behalf of the employee using
an amount which the employee has chosen to have deducted from salary (‘Sharepurchase’) and those
awarded to the employee by the Company (‘Sharematch’) on the basis of one Sharematch Ordinary Share
for every two Sharepurchase Ordinary Shares.
The Sharepurchase Ordinary Shares were purchased and the Sharematch Ordinary Shares were awarded at
a price per share of £9.01.
The
Ordinary Shares are held by the Trustee and in the name of the Trustee. Sharepurchase Ordinary
Shares can normally be sold at any time. Sharematch Ordinary Shares cannot normally be disposed of
for a period of three years after the award date.
As a result of the above, interests of directors and PDMRs in the Company’s Ordinary Shares
(excluding options, awards under the Company’s LTIPs and interests as potential beneficiaries of
the Company’s Employee Benefit Trusts) are as follows:
| |
|
|
| Name of Director |

(of which 5,423 are held in the form of American Depository
Shares (‘ADS’)). |
1 ADS is the equivalent of 4 Ordinary Shares.
2. It received notification on 10 April 2006 from Lord Blyth, a director of the Company, that he
has purchased 1,103 Ordinary Shares on 10 April 2006 under an arrangement with the Company, whereby

purchase Ordinary Shares. Lord Blyth has agreed to retain the Ordinary Shares while he remains a
director of the Company.

3. It received notification on 10 April 2006 from Todd Stitzer, a director of the Company, that he
has purchased 110 Ordinary Shares on 10 April 2006 under an arrangement with the Company, whereby
