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 23 April
2015 that Ivan Menezes, a director of the Company, had on 22 April 2015
transferred 23,698 American Depository Shares in the Company ("ADSs")* held in
a grantor retained annuity trust, of which he is trustee and beneficiary, to a
joint account held with his spouse. This was not a stock exchange transaction.

As a result of the above transaction, the interests of Mr Menezes in ordinary
shares of 28 101/108 pence each in the Company ("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.
