Transferring shares
Shares may be transferred 'off market', that is without using a bank or stockbroker, if the buyer and seller agree and send a signed stock transfer form with a share certificate(s) to the Diageo Registrar. An 'off market' transfer is generally used when there is no stamp duty payable on the transfer, for example to give shares to a relative or to a charity.
For further details on how to transfer Diageo shares 'off market', please contact the Diageo Registrar.

Where stamp duty is payable on the transfer, the stock transfer form should be sent to a HM Revenue & Customs stamp office and the duty paid before being forwarded to the Diageo Registrar for registration.
