Diageo plc has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) (File No. 333-269929) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement and other documents the issuer has filed with the SEC for more complete information about Diageo plc and this offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC Web site at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, Diageo plc or any underwriter participating in the offering will arrange to send you the prospectus if you request it by calling BofA Securities, Inc. at +1-800-294-1322; Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. at +1-800-503-4611; RBC Capital Markets, LLC at +1-866-375-6829; and Standard Chartered Bank at +44 2078 855739.
Diageo plc currently expects delivery of the notes to occur on or about October 5, 2023, which will be the third business day following the pricing of the notes (such settlement cycle being referred to as “T+3”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes on the date of pricing will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle on a T+3 basis, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of notes who wish to trade notes on the date of pricing should consult their own advisors.
