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 as at 30 October 2015 consisted of 2,754,332,125 ordinary shares of 28 101/108 pence each ("Ordinary Shares"), with voting rights. 239,139,684 Ordinary Shares were held in Treasury, in respect of which, voting rights were not exercised.

Diageo sells Argentinian wine interests to Grupo Peñaflor and appoints them as dedicated distributor for Diageo's spirits brands
 
Diageo has agreed the sale of its wine interests in Argentina to Grupo Peñaflor. In addition, Peñaflor will be appointed as the distributor of Diageo's international spirits brands and, after an interim period, will jointly produce with Diageo its domestic spirits brands across Argentina.  The appointment of a dedicated distributor in Argentina will strengthen Diageo's route to market and is expected to accelerate the performance of Diageo's brands there.  The transaction is expected to be completed early in 2016.
 
Sale proceeds, which are not material, have not been disclosed. The sale includes the Navarro Correas and San Telmo wine brands, together with production sites and vineyards. In the year ended 30 June 2015 net sales were £18.5 millon.  
 
The transaction, which is eps neutral in the first full year following completion, will result in an exceptional loss before taxation of approximately £60 million upon completion.

Diageo reiterates full year guidance ahead of Investor Conference in New York
 
Diageo will hold an Investor Conference in New York beginning with a reception on the evening of 10 November 2015, followed by a full day of presentations on 11 November. The presentations will cover Diageo's North America business, its biggest and most profitable region; Diageo's position in the key categories of scotch and beer; the rejuvenation of Smirnoff; the way in which Diageo is accessing the mainstream spirits opportunity in emerging markets and how Diageo is embedding a productivity culture across the company.
 
In his presentation Ivan Menezes, Chief Executive will say:
"The year has begun well. Momentum has improved and the changes we have made are now driving stronger volume growth with depletions ahead of shipments as we benefit from our focus on embedding our sell out culture. Trading in the first four months is in line with our expectations and therefore we continue to believe that we can deliver improved top line growth, driven by stronger volume growth, and modest margin improvement for the full year. In the first half, as we outlined in our results presentation in July, we expect net sales in North America to be down 2% as the result of our move to a replenishment system for innovation launches. This will impact Diageo's top line growth and margin in the first half with stronger performance in the second half."
