(e) Grant to Named Executive Officer Under 2001 Accenture Ltd Share Incentive Plan On December 16, 2008, the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of Accenture Ltd (the "Company") approved a one-time grant of restricted share units to William D. Green, the Company's chairman and chief executive officer, under the 2001 Accenture Ltd Share Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The grant, which is expected to be made on January 1, 2009, will have a fair market value of $6 million on the date of grant, and will vest in full on January 1, 2012, contingent upon Mr. Green's continued employment as the Company's chairman or chief executive officer until that date. The grant may only vest prior to that date in the event of his death or disability. The Committee approved the award both in recognition of Mr. Green's leadership and to encourage his continued service with the Company. Except as noted herein, the award will generally be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to the other awards made to the Company's named executive officers under the Plan.
