2020 Directors' Remuneration Report

 

Further to the publication of the Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2020 for Diageo plc ("the Company") on 7 August 2020, it has come to the Company's attention that there is a transposition error in the details of the long-term incentive performance measures on page 104 of the Annual Report on Remuneration.  This is not part of one of the auditable sections of the Annual Report.

 

The section of the Annual Report on Remuneration entitled 'Looking ahead to 2021' contains a description of the long-term incentive awards to be granted to the Executive Committee on 3 September 2020 and the associated performance measures and weightings.  As explained in the Annual Report, the award will include a measure based on cumulative free cash flow and a measure based on growth in adjusted earnings per share.  This is correct, but the element of the award to which each of these measures are to be allocated was transposed.  The intended position is that the cumulative free cash flow measure is to apply to the 'share options' element (rather than the 'performance shares elements' as stated in the Annual Report) and the growth in adjusted earnings per share measure is to apply to the 'performance shares' element (rather than the 'share options' element).  The original and corrected tables are shown below:
