Irish Sharesave

If you participate in Sharesave, your continued participation in the Plan will depend on the terms of your International Assignment.

If you move abroad and continue to be employed by a wholly owned subsidiary of Diageo or a Diageo controlled Joint Venture then you will have three choices:-

1. Continue to save into your Sharesave
   For more information about this option, please contact Solium on 0203 751 5668:

2.  Suspend your contributions for up to 6 months
   Download and complete the Suspend your Sharesave form and send it to the Irish payroll department. If you suspend your contributions, your maturity date will be delayed. If you participate in more than one contract, you will need to complete a form for each contract.
   
   Remember, if you suspend more than 6 payments, your sharesave will be cancelled and your options will lapse. Any payments that you miss will have to be made up at the end of your savings period, month for month, so your maturity date will be later.

3.  Cancel your Sharesave
   Log into your MyDiageoShares account using the LOGIN button at the top of this page, locate the Sharesave plan you wish to cancel and click on the 'Cancel Contract' link.

If you move abroad and become employed by a Joint Venture company not controlled by Diageo:
