Diageo purchases put options over 25 million General Mills shares
On 24 August 2005, Diageo and Lehman Brothers International (Europe) entered into a put option
agreement under which Diageo purchased European-style put options exercisable beginning 4 November
2005, covering 25 million shares of common stock of General Mills from Lehman Brothers. Under this
agreement, Diageo has the option to sell all of its remaining 25 million shares of common stock of
General Mills to Lehman Brothers for settlement over five business days between 4 and 10 November
2005, for the exercise price of $51.56 per share. The premium to be paid by Diageo for the put
options is $5.56 per share, payable at the time of settlement. While the sale of these shares is
subject to market conditions and contractual restrictions, Diageo is committed to the disposal of
its holdings in General Mills and previously sold in 2002 call options to General Mills for a
premium of $3.07 per share. Diageo views this transaction as an effective hedge for the disposal
proceeds of its remaining stake in General Mills.
Diageo will continue to retain the rights to ordinary dividends while it remains an owner of the
General Mills shares.
Commenting, Paul Walsh, CEO of Diageo, said
We are delighted to be able to make this announcement today. This transaction gives us certainty
as to the disposal proceeds we would receive from a disposal of our remaining holding in General Mills which could take place in November this
year at $1,154 million net of costs.
Coming as it does less than two months after the refinancing of Burger King, Diageo is now fully
focused on its position as the worlds leading premium drinks company.
