This document is important and requires your immediate attention. If you have any doubts about the action you should take, you should consult your stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant, or other professional independent adviser authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. If you have sold or otherwise transferred all of your shares, please pass this document and its enclosures to the stockbroker or other agent through whom the sale was effected, for transmission to the purchaser or transferee.
The following document gives notice that the Annual General Meeting ('AGM') of Diageo plc (the 'Company') will be held at Hilton London Tower Bridge, 5 More London Place, Tooley Street, London, SE1 2BY on Thursday, 26 September 2024 at 2.30 pm. As noted below, the AGM will be held as a hybrid meeting with the ability of shareholders to participate and attend the AGM electronically or in person.
As always, your vote is important to us and we encourage you to vote by completing and submitting a proxy form or by voting electronically in accordance with the instructions on pages 13 to 15.
As was the case last year, we will be holding this year's AGM as a hybrid, combined physical and electronic meeting, enabling shareholders to attend the AGM in person or electronically. Those attending electronically will be able to participate in the AGM, submit questions and vote on resolutions without being physically at the meeting via a live webcast using the Lumi platform.
We encourage shareholders who cannot or do not wish to attend the meeting in person to participate in the AGM through the online Lumi platform, which can be accessed by following the instructions on pages 23 to 25. Shareholders attending the meeting electronically will be able to view me, the Chief Executive, the Chief Financial Officer, other Directors and the Company Secretary conduct the business of the meeting and can submit questions and vote during the meeting as if they were attending in person. We are also providing a telephone line as detailed on page 25 to enable shareholders to ask questions of the Board relating to the business of the meeting orally during the AGM. Shareholders will also be able to submit such questions in advance of the AGM by sending them via email to [email protected].
If you wish to attend the AGM in person, you are requested to register your intention to attend by emailing [email protected] by Tuesday, 24 September 2024.
Voting at the AGM will be by way of poll rather than on a show of hands. This is a more transparent method of voting as shareholder votes are counted according to the number of shares held and will help to ensure an exact and definitive result. The poll will be conducted using electronic devices at the physical meeting and shareholders and proxies attending the meeting electronically will be able to vote live on all resolutions using the Lumi platform.
If you will not be participating in the meeting in person or electronically or otherwise wish to vote in advance, you may appoint a proxy as further detailed on pages 13 to 15. Those submitting a proxy are encouraged to consider appointing the Chair of the meeting, rather than some other named person, as their proxy. This will ensure that your vote is counted.
The Board considers that the resolutions contained in this Notice are in the best interests of your Company and the shareholders as a whole and recommends that you vote in favour of them. The Directors intend to vote in favour of these resolutions in respect of their own beneficial holdings.
Yours sincerely
Javier Ferrán
Chair

In accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, Julie Brown and Nik Jhangiani, who have been appointed to the Board with effect from 5 August 2024 and 1 September 2024 respectively, will retire at the AGM and offer themselves for appointment by shareholders.
Julie Brown has been appointed to the Board as Non-Executive Director and Chair of the Audit Committee with effect from 5 August 2024. Julie, who has been Chief Financial Officer and Executive Director of GSK plc since May 2023, brings many years of experience in financial, commercial and strategic roles in international companies operating in highly regulated industries. She is strongly committed to enabling diversity in business and to creating sustainable, long-term value for stakeholders. Julie previously served as Chief Operating and Financial Officer and Executive Director of Burberry Group plc. Julie has also served as Group CFO of Smith & Nephew plc and previously worked for 25 years at AstraZeneca PLC in various finance, commercial and strategic roles including as regional and country president and latterly as Interim Group CFO.
Julie's biographical details are as below:
Current external appointments:
Previous relevant experience:
As stated on page 119 of the Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2024, before appointments of Non-Executive Directors are made, consideration is given to additional demands on their time to ensure that their ability to perform effectively as a Director of the Company is not impacted. During the appointment process, the Nomination Committee concluded that Julie had sufficient time to devote to the Company, due to her having one external executive role only and her other external appointments being with industry bodies, charitable or public institutions.
Nik Jhangiani has been appointed to the Board as Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer with effect from 1 September 2024. Nik was previously Chief Financial Officer at Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc, the world's largest Coca-Cola bottler, a role he held from 2016 to 2024. Nik has more than 30 years of finance experience gained in roles in the UK, Europe, India, Africa and North America, including 20 years as Chief Financial Officer. Nik has spent most of his career in consumer and beverage industries, including 20 years within the Coca-Cola system. Nik is a highly experienced Chief Financial Officer with a global track-record of generating growth across multiple consumer businesses and industries, and the Board believes that this experience and international mindset will make Nik a strong addition to the Board and the Executive Committee.
Nik's biographical details are as below:
Previous relevant experience:
In accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code and the Company's articles of association, all other currently serving Directors, apart from Lavanya Chandrashekar and Alan Stewart, who will be stepping down from the Board prior to the AGM, will retire and offer themselves for re-appointment by shareholders.
The Chair has confirmed that the Board has determined that each of the Non-Executive Directors is independent, continues to perform effectively and demonstrates commitment to their role, and that they are all influential individuals in their respective fields, backgrounds and countries. The Senior Independent Non-Executive Director and the other Non-Executive Directors are satisfied that the Chair is performing effectively and demonstrates commitment to his role, including commitment of time to Board and Committee meetings and his other duties.The Chair was considered to be independent on appointment as required by the UK Corporate Governance Code. The Board's balance of knowledge and skills, combined with their diversity and business experience, makes a major contribution to the proper functioning of the Board and its committees.
Biographical details of the Directors seeking re-appointment can be found on pages 92 and 93 of the Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2024 and in Appendix A to this notice. These include details of the strengths of each Director, which demonstrate that each Director's contribution is, and continues to be, important to the Company's long-term sustainable success.
Copies of the Directors' service contracts (or, where appropriate, letters of appointment) are available for inspection during normal business hours at the Company's registered office on any business day, and will be available at the place where the AGM is being held from at least 15 minutes prior to, and during, the AGM.
At each general meeting at which the accounts are laid before the members, the Company is required to appoint an auditor to serve until the next such meeting. The Audit Committee has assessed the effectiveness of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and recommends re-appointment. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has agreed to continue as the Company's auditor in respect of the financial year ending 30 June 2025.
This resolution authorises the Board, acting through the Audit Committee, to determine the remuneration of the Company's auditor.
Under section 366 of the Act, the Company is required to seek shareholders' authority for any political donations and/or political expenditure made by the Company in the UK. At the AGM held on 28 September 2023, the Board was granted authority to make such political donations and/or incur such political expenditure, capped at £100,000.
Within the UK, it has been the Company's long-standing practice not to make payments to political parties and the intention is that this will remain the case. However, the legislation is very broadly drafted and may catch activities such as funding seminars and other functions to which politicians are invited, supporting certain bodies involved in policy review and law reform, and matching employees' donations to certain charities.
The group has not given any money for political purposes in the UK during the year. Our US based subsidiary, Diageo North America, Inc. made contributions solely at its own discretion to non-UK political candidates and committees in the United States, where it is common practice to do so. Contributions of approximately \$1.1 million (2023: \$1.0 million) were made by Diageo North America, Inc. during the financial year to US state and local candidates and committees, consistent with applicable laws. Additionally, our Australian based subsidiary made contributions, solely at its own discretion, totalling approximately \$0.01 million.
The US contributions reflect no endorsement of a particular political party, and contributions were made with the aim of promoting a better understanding of our business and our views on commercial matters, as well as a generally improved business environment.
To avoid inadvertent infringement of applicable regulations in the UK, the Board has decided to continue to seek shareholders' authority for political donations and political expenditure in the UK in case any of the Company's normal activities are caught by the legislation. The authority sought would again be capped at £100,000. This authority will expire at the conclusion of next year's AGM (or, if earlier, 15 months from the passing of this resolution).
The Board will continue to seek to renew this authority at each AGM, in accordance with current best practice.
At the AGM held on 28 September 2023, shareholders gave authority to the Board, which will expire at the conclusion of this year's AGM, to allot a maximum of £216,729,334 in nominal value of ordinary shares and any securities convertible into ordinary shares. Resolution 17 replaces the authority granted in 2023 and would allow the Board to allot ordinary shares, or to grant rights to subscribe for or convert any securities into ordinary shares up to an aggregate nominal amount equal to £214,425,736 (representing approximately 741,055,343 ordinary shares).
This amount represents approximately one-third of the Company's issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at 30 July 2024, being the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice (the 'Latest Practicable Date').
The authority sought under this resolution will expire at the conclusion of next year's AGM (or, if earlier, 15 months from the passing of this resolution). The Board will continue to seek to renew this authority at each AGM, in accordance with current best practice.
The Board has no present intention to exercise the authority sought under Resolution 17, except to satisfy options under the Company's share option plans (where relevant).
As at the Latest Practicable Date, 209,245,891 ordinary shares are held by the Company in treasury (representing approximately 9.41% of the total issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) of the Company).
This resolution would give the Board the power to allot ordinary shares (or sell any ordinary shares which the Company holds in treasury) for cash without first having to offer them to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing shareholdings.
This authority would be limited to allotments of new ordinary shares or sales of treasury shares, for cash, under Resolution 17 in connection with pre-emptive offers, or to allotments of equity securities in connection with the Company's employee share plans and the Company's employee share plans for joint ventures in which the group participates, or otherwise to allotments or sales of up to an aggregate nominal amount of £32,163,860 (representing approximately 111,158,300 ordinary shares), which is equivalent to just less than 5% of the issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.
If the powers sought by Resolution 18 are used in relation to a non-pre-emptive offer, the Directors confirm their intention to follow the shareholder protections in paragraph 1 of Part 2B of the Pre-emption Group's Statement of Principles published in November 2022. The Board will continue to renew this authority at each AGM, in accordance with best practice.
This authority will expire at the conclusion of next year's AGM (or, if earlier, 15 months from the passing of this resolution).
At the AGM held on 28 September 2023, the shareholders granted authority for the Company to buy up to a maximum of 224,704,974 of its own ordinary shares in the market.
This resolution renews and replaces that authority and would allow the Company to buy back up to 222,316,603 ordinary shares (i.e. approximately £64,327,720 in nominal value) in the market, representing just less than 10% of the issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares), of the Company at the Latest Practicable Date.
At the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had outstanding options to subscribe for ordinary shares relating to 14,243 ordinary shares. This figure represents approximately 0.00% of the issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) of the Company at the Latest Practicable Date and would, assuming no further ordinary shares are issued, represent approximately 0.00% of the issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) of the Company if full authority to purchase shares (under both the existing authority and that being sought at this year's AGM) was used.
The resolution sets out the lowest and highest prices that the Company can pay for the ordinary shares, the lowest price being the nominal value of an ordinary share and the highest price being the higher of:
This authority will expire at the conclusion of next year's AGM (or, if earlier, 15 months from the passing of this resolution). Any buyback would be by market purchases through the London Stock Exchange and/or other relevant markets or exchanges. Any ordinary shares so purchased would be either held as treasury shares or cancelled. In the period from 28 September 2023 to the Latest Practicable Date, 27,443,325 ordinary shares have been purchased and cancelled under the existing authority.
The Board would only authorise such purchases after careful consideration, taking account of other investment opportunities, appropriate gearing levels, the overall financial position of the group and whether the effect would be an increase in earnings per share and in the best interests of shareholders generally.
On 1 August 2023, the Company announced a \$1.0 billion share buyback programme, which commenced on 12 October 2023, to be undertaken within the existing general authority to repurchase up to 224,704,974 shares granted at the AGM held on 28 September 2023. The programme successfully completed on 29 May 2024.
In accordance with the Act, the notice period for general meetings (other than AGMs) is 21 clear days unless a shorter notice period is approved by shareholders via special resolution. The Company would like to have the ability to call general meetings (other than an AGM) on less than 21 clear days' notice. As in previous years, Resolution 20 seeks such approval.
The Company confirms that the shorter notice would not be used as a matter of routine but only in exceptional circumstances where the flexibility is merited by the nature of the business of the meeting and is thought to be in the interests of shareholders as a whole. In accordance with the Act, the Company would offer the facility for members to vote by electronic means at any such meeting.
