Diageo plc - Voting Rights and Capital

In conformity with Paragraph 5.6.1 of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, Diageo plc (the "Company") would like to notify the market of the following:

The Company's issued capital as at 31 July 2016 consisted of 2,754,392,054 ordinary shares of 28 101/108 pence each ("Ordinary Shares"), with voting rights. 236,465,124 Ordinary Shares were held in Treasury, in respect of which, voting rights were not exercised.
