Total Voting Rights regulatory
"Total Voting Rights and Capital In conformity with Paragraph 5.6.1R"
The total voting rights number is the count of shares that carry the right to vote at a company’s shareholder meetings, reflecting how much voting power exists in the market. Investors use it to understand control and influence—like knowing how many votes are in play when measuring ownership stakes, calculating a shareholder’s voting percentage, or assessing how easy it would be for a holder to sway decisions.
Treasury shares financial
"205,812,357 Ordinary Shares were held in Treasury, in respect of which"
Treasury shares are a company’s own stock that it has repurchased and keeps on its books instead of canceling or leaving in the hands of outside investors. Think of them like coupons a business puts back in a drawer: they don’t vote or receive dividends while held, but they can be reissued later for employee pay or fundraising. For investors this matters because buybacks change the number of shares that count toward earnings and ownership, can boost per‑share metrics, and use corporate cash that might otherwise go to growth or dividends.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan financial
"participates in a Dividend Reinvestment Plan, received Ordinary Shares"
A dividend reinvestment plan lets shareholders automatically use cash dividends to buy more shares of the same company instead of receiving the money. It matters to investors because it turns regular payouts into a steady way to grow ownership and take advantage of compound returns—like having your savings automatically buy additional slices of a pie over time—while often reducing transaction costs and smoothing purchase timing.
Share Incentive Plan financial
"under the Diageo 2001 Share Incentive Plan"
A share incentive plan is a company program that gives employees or directors the chance to receive or buy company shares, often after staying with the firm or meeting performance goals. It matters to investors because it’s like giving workers a slice of the company pie to boost performance and loyalty, but issuing those slices can reduce each existing owner’s portion and change metrics such as earnings per share and share count.
American Depositary Shares market
"Description of the financial instrument Identification code | American Depositary Shares"
American depositary shares (ADSs) are a way for investors in the United States to buy shares of foreign companies without dealing with international markets directly. They represent ownership in a foreign company's stock and are traded on U.S. stock exchanges, making it easier for American investors to buy, sell, and own parts of companies from around the world.

Total Voting Rights and Capital
 
In conformity with Paragraph 5.6.1R of the Disclosure Guidelines and Transparency Rules, Diageo plc (the "Company") would like to notify the market of the following:
 
The Company's issued capital as at 30 June 2026 consisted of 2,432,397,125* Ordinary Shares of 28 101/108 pence each ("Ordinary Shares"), with voting rights. 205,812,357 Ordinary Shares were held in Treasury, in respect of which, voting rights were not exercised.
 
Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company was 2,226,584,768 and this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidelines and Transparency Rules.

*The Company has recently identified 28,355 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 0.002% of its issued share capital, purported to have been issued by the Company to certain of its subsidiaries in 1997 as part of the merger between Guinness PLC and Grand Metropolitan plc. Since subsidiaries cannot generally hold shares in their parent, the Company has determined that such issues were null and void. Consequently, the Company's share register is being rectified and the record of its issued share capital held by the registrar of companies is being updated accordingly.
