Paragraph 5.6.1 of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules |
Diageo plc - Voting Rights and Capital
In conformity with Paragraph 5.6.1 of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules, Diageo plc (the "Company") would like to notify the market of the following:
The Company's issued capital consists of 2,754,308,400 ordinary shares of 28 101/108 pence each ("Ordinary Shares"), with voting rights. 239,252,846 Ordinary Shares are held in Treasury, in respect of which, voting rights are not exercised.
Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 2,515,055,554 and this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
