<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0in">Diageo plc evaluated its current product lines to
confirm whether tin, tungsten, tantalum and/or gold (&ldquo;3TG&rdquo;) are contained in and necessary to the functionality or production
of certain products manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by Diageo plc, and determined that tin is currently applicable (the
&ldquo;Covered Products&rdquo;). Following a good faith reasonable country of origin inquiry as required by Item 1.01(a) of Form SD (the
&ldquo;RCOI&rdquo;) regarding the 3TG in the Covered Products, Diageo plc has no reason to believe that the 3TG in the Covered Products
may have originated in the Democratic Republic of Congo or an adjoining country (as defined in paragraph (d)(1) of Item 1.01 of Form SD)
(the &ldquo;Covered Countries&rdquo;). As a result, Diageo plc has disclosed below, the determination and described the RCOI that Diageo
plc undertook in making such determination.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Diageo plc continued with the governance program in place in relation
to conflict minerals (defined as columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite, or certain of their derivatives (which are
currently limited to tantalum, tin, and tungsten)) (&ldquo;Conflict Minerals&rdquo;), including the conflict minerals working group with
representation from the procurement and legal functions of Diageo plc. At the direction of and under the supervision of the conflicts
minerals working group, Diageo plc&rsquo;s RCOI and due diligence processes were conducted in two phases, as outlined below.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Phase One:</I> An internal assessment process was implemented with
input from the Diageo supply, procurement and legal teams to identify all products manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by Diageo
plc that may potentially contain Conflict Minerals. It was determined that 3TG was potentially necessary to the functionality or production
of certain products manufactured by Diageo plc or contracted to be manufactured by Diageo plc.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><I>Phase Two:</I> For all products identified in phase one for which
3TG were potentially necessary to the functionality or production, Diageo plc conducted a RCOI by writing to the suppliers of the identified
products, requesting confirmation on whether the identified products contained 3TG or not. Through this process, Diageo plc determined
that tin was used in brass tubesheets and flanges for distilling equipment (sold to customers). For all products in scope, Diageo requested
suppliers conduct an investigation into their supply chain and provide written representations confirming whether the 3TG may have originated
in the Covered Countries, receiving a 100% response rate. As part of this RCOI, Diageo requested the suppliers to complete and return
the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative &lsquo;Conflict Minerals Reporting Template&rsquo; or otherwise certify in writing the contents
and provenance of the supplied 3TG. Diageo plc received a 100% response rate in relation to products within scope. This phase enabled
Diageo plc to obtain reliable evidence and representations in relation to the use of 3TG in calendar year 2024. These representations
indicate that none of the conflict minerals originate in the Covered Countries. In the process of obtaining such representations and its
due diligence process more generally, Diageo plc encountered no warning signs or circumstances suggesting otherwise.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Based on the good faith RCOI described above, Diageo plc has concluded
that it has no reason to believe that the Conflict Minerals used in products manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by Diageo plc
and necessary to their functionality or production may have originated in the Covered Countries.</P>
