Diageo expects to issue a benchmark USD global bond

Diageo, the world’s leading premium drinks business, has today announced that it expects to issue a benchmark US-dollar global bond, subject to market conditions, and to this end has had discussions with the credit rating agencies.

Approximately $900 million of Diageo’s current debt will mature between May and August 2005 and the company views current market conditions as a favourable opportunity to pre-fund some of this maturing debt before it enters its closed period. Diageo’s closed period commences in July and ends with the announcement of the preliminary results in September 2005.

Capital structure
Diageo’s policy, as outlined in the October 2004 AGM statement, is that the appropriate capital structure for the group is one which achieves capital efficiency, maximises flexibility and gives the appropriate level of access to the debt markets at attractive cost levels, and that this is best achieved by targeting a range of ratios which are currently broadly consistent with a single A credit rating.

Acquisition strategy
The pace of consolidation activity in the total beverage alcohol sector is increasing – with the offer by Pernod Ricard for Allied Domecq as the latest example. In this environment, Diageo expects to continue to evaluate opportunities to make acquisitions that complement its existing premium drinks brands and create shareholder value. The funding options for potential acquisitions include the use of the group’s substantial free cash flow, the possible monetization of the remaining shares in General Mills and borrowings. In limited circumstances, Diageo is prepared to change its targeted range of financial ratios for a period of time provided that those new ratios are broadly consistent with a credit rating in the single A band.

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. No offer of securities is being and will be made to persons who are established, domiciled or have their residence (“are resident”) in the Netherlands. 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.
