Share Plan Account (SPA)
The SPA has been created for our employees to provide an easy and convenient way to hold shares that arise from an employee share plan.
If you leave Diageo, you can continue to hold your shares within the SPA as long as you have activated your EquatePlus portal account.
Instead of holding share certificates, you hold all your Diageo employee shares electronically in one place - the SPA. If your shares are in the SPA, you do not need a share certificate to sell your shares.
- There are no share certificates, because Diageo look after your shares for you.
- Your statement is available to view or download at anytime on the SPA portal account.
- You can sell your shares easily and online, through your EquatePlus Portal Account or via the EquateMobile app
- It's a simple way to hold your Diageo shares electronically. You can easily track and manage your account using the online service or through the mobile app.
- You can see all of your Diageo employee shares (including those still held as part of an employee share plan) in the one place
- There are no administration charges to pay and no share certificates to keep safe.
* Some employees ("Restricted Persons") require clearance to deal in Diageo's shares. They may not deal during closed periods and must seek approval before dealing at any other time. Restricted Persons will be notified prior to each closed period.
The Diageo SPA is simple: Keep all your shares in one place and sell them through our exclusive dealing facilities when it suits you.
