    RE:      Paragraph 5.6.1 of the Disclosure and Transparency Rules         

    Diageo plc - Voting Rights and Capital

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

    The Company's issued capital consists of 2,754,304,444 ordinary shares of 28
    101/108 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") with voting rights, which includes
    239,669,735 Ordinary Shares held in Treasury.

    Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 2,514,634,709
    and this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the
    calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their
    interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's
    Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
