SPA

Here are some of the highlights of SPA:

• Your shares, along with shares held by other employees, are held electronically, so there are no share certificates to hold and keep safe.

• In most cases, any shares coming out of an employee share plan will automatically be deposited into your SPA account and held in accordance with the terms & conditions.

• Selling your shares is easy – you can do this through the mobile app, or online and sale proceeds are paid straight into your nominated bank account*.

• A statement is available to view or download at any time on your EquatePlus portal account, or you can simply scroll through your transaction history.

• It’s free!  There are no charges for holding your shares in the SPA.

• The SPA is open to employees specifically for the purpose of holding vested or released shares from a Diageo employee share plan. Please note that shares cannot be transferred into the SPA.

• If you leave Diageo, you can continue to hold your shares within the SPA as long as you have activated your EquatePlus portal account.

If you hold shares in the SPA

Details of all your SPA transactions can be viewed on the EquatePlus portal which is accessible by clicking on the login button at the top of this page. Within the SPA holders can view the number of shares they own, their value, provide bank details for dividend payments and sale proceeds, and sell shares.

Some employees ("Restricted Persons") may require clearance to deal in Diageo's shares. Restricted Persons may not deal during closed periods and must seek approval before dealing at any other time. Insiders are notified prior to each closed period by the Company Secretary’s Office.
