Diageo funding for UK pension |

27 March 2006
Diageo agrees funding framework for UK pension fund deficit
Diageo has agreed framework funding principles with the Trustees of the UK company pension scheme
which provide for the company to fund the UK pension scheme deficit over a 7-year period beginning
in the 2007 financial year.
For the purposes of the agreement the value of the deficit, which will be calculated using the
trustees’ actuarial valuation of the scheme, will be ascertained through the planned 3-yearly
valuation as of 31 March 2006. Following the completion of that valuation later this year, the
initial annual cash contribution, which Diageo will make under this funding framework, is estimated
to be around £100 million. At 31 December 2005 the deficit in Diageo’s UK company pension schemes
including unfunded liabilities and calculated under IAS 19, was £653 million.
In addition to the deficit funding, Diageo will continue to make a cash contribution in respect of
annual benefits awarded to active members, which in the year ending 30 June 2006 is expected to be
£50 million. The agreed framework provides for a reassessment of the funding position on a
triennial basis and allows for appropriate adjustments in company contributions in line with the
deficit at that time. These arrangements are not expected to lead to a change in Diageo’s
previously announced share buy back programme.
Paul Walsh, Chief Executive of Diageo, commented:
‘This funding framework, together with changes we have made to the pension scheme, demonstrate
Diageo’s commitment to provide a high standard of employment benefits. It follows the sale of our
shares in General Mills and our full exit from Burger King and provides further clarity in relation
to Diageo’s balance sheet. ‘
