RE: Paragraph 3.1.4 of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules

The notifications listed below were received under Paragraph 3.1.2 of the
Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Diageo plc (the "Company") announces that it received notification on 25
September 2014 that:

 1. the directors shown below were granted the following options over ordinary
    shares of 28 101/108 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") or
    American Depositary Shares ("ADS")*, on 25 September 2014, under the
    Company's Diageo 2014 Long Term Incentive Plan, approved by shareholders on
    18 September 2014 ("DLTIP"):

                   Name of Director       No. of Ordinary Shares                      
                                            
                   D Mahlan               140,590              
                                          No. of ADSs          
                   I Menezes              45,447               

Each option was granted at a price of £17.96 per Ordinary Share (or $117.55 per
ADS) and is exercisable between 25 September 2017 and 24 September 2024,
subject to the satisfaction of performance criteria.

 2. the directors shown below were granted the following conditional awards
    over Ordinary Shares or ADS, on 25 September 2014, under the DLTIP: 
   
                   Name of Director       No. of Ordinary Shares 
                                                
                   D Mahlan               140,590                
                                          No. of ADSs            
                   I Menezes              45,447                 

Each conditional award will vest in September 2017 subject to the satisfaction
of performance criteria.

Each conditional award carries a right to receive, on vesting, an amount linked
to dividends paid on the Ordinary Shares (or ADSs) subject to the conditional
award.

The Ordinary Shares and ADSs received on the exercise of each option/vesting of
each conditional award are subject to a retention period of two years during
which time the director may not normally transfer, assign or otherwise dispose
of the Ordinary Shares or ADSs.

As a result of the above grants and awards the interests in the Company's
Ordinary Shares and ADSs (excluding options, awards under the Company's LTIPs
and interests as potential beneficiaries of the Company's Employee Benefit
Trusts) of the directors are unchanged.
