Diageo plc (the "Company") announces that it received notification today, that

Company's Discretionary Incentive Plan ("DIP"), approved by shareholders on 14

Ordinary Shares (excluding options, awards under the Company's LTIPs and
interest as a potential beneficiary of the Company's Employee Benefit Trusts)
