Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

At the Annual Meeting, Accenture's shareholders approved an amendment to the Accenture plc 2010 Share Incentive Plan (the "Amended 2010 SIP"), which had previously been approved by the Board of Directors of Accenture, subject to the approval of its shareholders.

The Amended 2010 SIP is substantially the same as the current Accenture plc 2010 Share Incentive Plan, except that it has been amended to (1) authorize an additional 24 million shares and (2) expressly prohibit the repricing of options and share appreciation rights.

The material features of the Amended 2010 SIP are described in Accenture's definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting filed on December 17, 2012 (the "Proxy Statement"), and the description of the plan included in the Proxy Statement is incorporated herein by reference. The above description of the Amended 2010 SIP is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended 2010 SIP, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.
