OUR BUSINESS OUR BRANDS SOCIETY 2030 NEWS AND MEDIA INVESTORS CAREERS Dividend information Shareholder centre Annual General Meeting (AGM) Ordinary shares ADR shares Managing your shareholding Dividend information Frequently Asked Questions Regulatory News Dividends are normally paid twice a year – an interim dividend in April and a final dividend in October. The approximate split between the two payments is 40/60. These are paid by Diageo in sterling, converted and then distributed to you by the ADR depositary, Citibank, in US dollars. The most recent dividend payment dates are listed on our financial calendar. Dividend reinvestment Citibank operates an International Direct Investment Plan for Diageo's ADR programme. The International Direct Plan is a direct share purchase and dividend reinvestment plan for ADR investors who live in the US. The plan allows existing shareholders the convenience of reinvesting all, or a portion of, their cash dividends, with reduced transaction costs. The International Direct Investment Plan is sponsored and administered by Diageo's depositary bank, Citibank. Diageo has consented to the composition of the plan, but does not, and should not, be deemed to sponsor or administer the International Direct Investment Plan. Visit the Citibank website for more information on the International Direct Investment Plan.
