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 10 March
2015 that on 10 March 2015 the Company released 29,841 ordinary shares of 28
101/108 pence each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") to Andrew Fennell, a
Person Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMR"), in respect an award
made under the Company's discretionary incentive plan on 10 March 2011.

Mr Fennell subsequently sold 29,841 Ordinary Shares on the London Stock
Exchange on 10 March 2015 at a price per share of £18.92.

As a result of the above transaction, Mr Fennell's interests in the Company's
Ordinary Shares (excluding options, awards under the Company's LTIPs and
interests as a potential beneficiary of the Company's Employee Benefit Trusts)
are unchanged.
