RE:      Paragraph 3.1.4 of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules          

The notification listed below was received under Paragraph 3.1.2 of the
Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Diageo plc (the "Company") announces that it received notification today that
Ron Anderson, a person discharging managerial responsibilities ("PDMR"),
exercised an option on 22 June 2011 over 41,427 ordinary shares of 28 101/108
pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") granted on 18 September 2007 at a
price per share of £10.51 under the Company's Senior Executive Share Option
Plan ("SESOP").

Mr Anderson subsequently sold 41,427 Ordinary Shares on 22 June 2011, at a

Company's Ordinary Shares and American Depositary Shares ("ADS") (excluding
options, awards under the Company's LTIPs and interests as a potential
beneficiary of the Company's Employee Benefit Trusts) are 84,484 (of which
9,584 are held as ADS*).
