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 on 1 August
2013 that Paul Walsh, a director, exercised options on 1 August 2013 over
ordinary shares of 28 101/108 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares")
granted under the Company's Senior Executive Share Option Plan as set out
below:

No. of Ordinary Shares Date of grant        Price per Ordinary Share 
                                                                     
200,000                17 September 2009    £9.52                    

Subsequently, on 1 August 2013, Mr Walsh sold 190,000 Ordinary Shares at a
price per Ordinary Share of £20.70. He retains the balance of 10,000 Ordinary

Ordinary Shares (excluding options, awards under the Company's LTIPs and
interests as a potential beneficiary of the Company's Employee Benefit Trusts)
have increased to 779,660.
