On 17 December 2025, Diageo announced the sale of its shareholding in East African Breweries PLC and its shareholding in
the Kenyan spirits business to Asahi Group Holdings, Ltd. The sale was considered to be highly probable on 31 December
2025. Subject to regulatory approvals, completion is expected in the second half of calendar year 2026. Consequently, the
impacted assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale on 31 December 2025 and measured at cost as the lower of cost
and fair value less cost of disposal. On 31 December 2025, cumulative translation losses recognised in exchange reserves were
$79 million, which will be recycled to the income statement at the completion of the transaction.
