2.  Suspend your contributions for up to 6 months
   Download and complete the Sharesave Suspend 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.
   
   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.
   
   Remember, if you suspend more than 6 payments, your Sharesave will be cancelled and your options will lapse.

3.  Cancel your Sharesave
   To cancel a sharesave plan, you must complete a Cancel Sharesave form and forward it to your payroll department to stop future deductions from salary. In addition, you must also contact the relevant Share Plan Manager for a refund. Full details are on the Cancel Sharesave form.

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

You can no longer participate in the plan. you will need to complete a Sharesave Cancellation form and send it to the Irish payroll department. To obtain a refund, you must also cancel your Sharesave the Sharesave Plan Managers as detailed on the form.

Please note that once your International Assignment has concluded there may be ongoing tax implications in respect of your share plan holding. Please contact your Global Mobility Advisor for further information.
