Shareholders services
Your shareholding in Guinness Nigeria entitles you, as a part owner of the company, to certain rights.

Share information
Your shareholding in Guinness Nigeria entitles you, as a part owner of the company, to certain rights. These include the right:
- to vote at general meetings, either in person or by proxy
- to receive dividends on your ordinary shares
- to receive certain company documents, for example the annual reports and accounts and the Annual General Meeting documents each year
- to attend and speak at general meetings.
If you do not have your name on the shareholder register because you hold your shares through a nominee, your nominee will receive any company documents sent to shareholders. You need to make arrangements with your nominee if you wish to receive such documents and to be able to attend and, on a poll, vote at general meetings.
Share certificates
Your Guinness Nigeria share certificate is evidence of your shareholding in the company and should be kept in a safe place. If you hold your Guinness Nigeria shares through a nominee account or through the Central Securities Clearing System (CSCS) you will not have a share certificate. The nominal or ‘par’ value of a company’s shares is shown on the share certificate. The current nominal value of Diageo’s ordinary shares is 50k each.
If you have a question about your certificate(s) (including the replacement of lost certificates or the consolidation of several certificates into one) or if you have a question on your shareholding, then please contact the Guinness Nigeria Registrars:
