In conformity with 5.6 of the Disclosure Guidelines and Transparency Rules and Article 15 of the Transparency Directive, Diageo plc (the "Company") would like to notify the market of the following:

The Company's issued capital as at 31 December 2017 consisted of 2,725,377,658 ordinary shares of 28 101/108 pence each ("Ordinary Shares"), with voting rights. 236,232,715 Ordinary Shares were held in Treasury, in respect of which, voting rights were not exercised.
