DIAGEO REOPENS 2012 USD 300 MILLION FIXED RATE BOND
Diageo today reopened its US dollar 300 million long 5-year SEC registered global bonds, due on 30 January 2012 with a coupon of 5.125%. The bonds were originally issued on 28 September 2006 by Diageo Capital plc, with payment of principal and interest fully guaranteed by Diageo plc.
Today Diageo launched and priced an additional USD 300 million of 5.125% Notes due 2012 with the same terms (other than price to public and issue date), which will trade freely with the original bond. Goldman Sachs was sole bookrunner for the reopening. The aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Notes due 2012 outstanding following the reopening is USD 600 million.
Proceeds from this issuance will be used to partly refinance $500 million aggregate principal amount of notes bearing interest at 3.00% issued by Diageo Finance B.V. in 2003 maturing on December 15, 2006.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities either in the United States or any other jurisdiction, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration and qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. Any public offering of securities in the United States is being made solely by means of a prospectus supplement to the prospectus included in the Registration Statement filed by Diageo plc, Diageo Capital plc, Diageo Finance B.V. and Diageo Investment Corporation and previously declared effective.

(i) the following directors of the Company were allocated Ordinary Shares on 11 December 2006 under the Plan, by Diageo Share Ownership Trustees Limited (the ‘Trustee’):
     
Name of Director   Number of Ordinary Shares
N C Rose

The number of Ordinary Shares allocated comprises those purchased on behalf of the employee using an amount which the employee has chosen to have deducted from salary (‘Sharepurchase’) and those awarded to the employee by the Company (‘Sharematch’) on the basis of one Sharematch Ordinary Share for every two Sharepurchase Ordinary Shares.

The Ordinary Shares are held by the Trustee and in the name of the Trustee. Sharepurchase Ordinary Shares can normally be sold at any time. Sharematch Ordinary Shares cannot normally be disposed of for a period of three years after the award date.
As a result of the above transactions, interests of directors and PDMRs in the Company’s Ordinary Shares (excluding options, awards under the Company’s LTIPs and interests as potential beneficiaries of the Company’s Employee Benefit Trusts) are as follows:

2. it received notification on 11 December 2006 from Lord Blyth, a director of the Company, that he has purchased 1,003 Ordinary Shares on 11 December 2006 under an arrangement with the Company, whereby he has agreed to use an amount of £10,000 each month, net of tax, from his director’s fees to purchase Ordinary Shares.

*1 ADS is the equivalent of 4 Ordinary Shares.

Diageo puts in place programme to enable the buy back of shares in
forthcoming closed period
Diageo plc announces that it has put in place an irrevocable, non-discretionary programme to allow the company to buy back shares during the closed period which precedes the interim results announcement on 15 February 2007. The buy back programme during the closed period will be managed by an independent third party, which will make its trading decisions in relation to the company’s securities independently of, and uninfluenced by, the company.
Share buy backs will be effected during the period between 2 January 2007 and 15 February 2007 within pre-set parameters. The buy backs will be in accordance with Diageo’s general authority to repurchase shares and in accordance with Chapter 12 of the Listing Rules. Consequently the maximum price paid will be limited to no more than 105 per cent of the average middle market quotations of Diageo shares for the 5 dealing days preceding the date of purchase. The shares repurchased will be cancelled on a daily basis.
In announcing this Diageo confirms that currently it has no inside information. Diageo will announce interim results for the six months ending 31 December 2006 on 15 February 2007.
