In connection with this authorisation to increase the capital and in compliance with article 32-3 (5) of the Law, the General Partner of the Company is authorised, at its discretion, to waive entirely or partially or to limit, or to set conditions in respect of any preferential subscription rights of the existing Shareholders for the same period of five years and to determine the amount of issue premium (if any) which will have to be paid by the subscriber(s) in the context of this capital increase.

The Class I Common Shares, the Class II Common Shares, the Class III Common Shares and the Class III Letter Shares are individually referred to as a “Share” and collectively as the “Shares.”

The Class II Common Shares, the Class III Common Shares and the Class III Letter Shares are exclusively reserved for Accenture Ltd and its subsidiaries.

The Class III Common Shares and Class III Letter Shares will not entitle their holder to any cash dividend distributions. Class III Common Shares and Class III Letter Shares will give right to newly issued Class III Common Shares also labelled “Class III Bonus Shares,” to the extent a cash dividend is paid on Class I Common Shares.

The aggregate value of the Class III Bonus Shares (the “Class III Bonus Shares Value”) shall be the amount of any cash dividends that the holders of outstanding Class III Common Shares and Class III

2

Letter Shares would have received had they participated on a fully participating basis with the holders of Class I Common Shares in any cash dividends declared to the holders of the Class I Common Shares.

The number of Class III Bonus Shares issued to holders of Class III Common Shares and Class III Letter Shares in connection with the payment of any cash dividend on the Class I Common Shares shall be determined by dividing (i) the Class III Bonus Shares Value by (ii) the closing price of an Accenture Ltd Class A Common Share on the United States trading day immediately prior to the day of issue of the Class III Bonus Shares. Upon such determination, fractional Class III Bonus Shares whether or not issuable to holders of Class III Common Shares or Class III Letter Shares shall be rounded down to the nearest entire number of Class III Bonus Shares. The Class III Bonus Shares shall be issued on the date of payment of the cash dividend on the Class I Common Shares.

All other rights of the Class III Common Shares and Class III Letter Shares, such as rights to liquidation proceeds and voting rights will remain the same as the rights for the Class I Common Shares save as set out otherwise in these Articles of Association.

Any issuances of Class III Bonus Shares to the holder(s) of Class III Common Shares and of Class III Letter Shares in the context of the Authorised Share Capital of the Company (as defined hereafter), shall be recorded at the latest within a month of the issue date by a Luxembourg notary. Full powers are attributed to the General Partner or an appointee of the General Partner to see from time to time to the accomplishment of any formality in connection therewith.

The Class II Common Shares will not entitle their holder to any cash dividend distributions. Class II Common Shares will have the right to receive newly issued Class II Common Shares also labelled (“Class II Bonus Shares”) to the extent a cash dividend is paid on Class I Common Shares.

The aggregate value of the Class II Bonus Shares (“the Class II Bonus Shares Value”) shall be the amount of any cash dividends that the holders of outstanding Class II Common Shares would have received had they participated on a ten percent (10%) participating basis with the holders of Class I Common Shares in any cash dividends declared to the holders of the Class I Common Shares.

The number of Class II Bonus Shares issued to holders of Class II Common Shares in connection with the payment of any cash dividend on the Class I Common Shares shall be determined by dividing (i) the Class II Bonus Shares Value by (ii) 10% of the closing price of an Accenture Ltd Class A Common Share on the United States trading day immediately prior to the day of issue of the Class II Bonus Shares. Upon such determination, fractional Class II Bonus Shares whether or not issuable to holders of Class II Common Shares shall be rounded down to the nearest entire number of Class II Bonus Shares. The Class II Bonus Shares shall be issued on the date of payment of the cash dividend on Class I Common Shares.

Any issuances of Class II Common Shares as Class II Bonus Shares to the holders of Class II Common Shares in the context of the Authorised Share Capital of the Company (as defined hereafter), shall be recorded at the latest within a month of the issue date by a Luxembourg notary. Full powers are attributed to the General Partner or an appointee of the General Partner to see from time to time to the accomplishment of any formality in connection therewith.

Upon Class I Common Shares being sold or otherwise transferred by their holder to Accenture Ltd or a subsidiary of Accenture Ltd, such shares shall as a result of the transfer be automatically relabelled and reclassified as Class III Common Shares. The Company shall subsequently periodically record (with such recordings to occur not less than once in every quarter) in notarial form the reclassification of Class I Common Shares into Class III Common Shares and the General Partner or an appointee of the General Partner is authorised and empowered to see to any requisite formalities in relation with the registration in the share register of the Company and any notarial recording including, without limitation, any amendments which need to be made to these Articles of Association.

Class III Common Shares and Class III Letter Shares are convertible into Class II Common Shares by a resolution of an extraordinary meeting of Shareholders resolving in the manner required for amendments of these Articles of Association. The conversion ratio shall be 1 Class III Common Share or 1 Class III Letter Share for 10 Class II Common Shares. Upon such resolution, the nominal capital shall be increased by EUR 11.25 per Class III Common Share or per Class III Letter Share so converted and Class II Common Shares shall be issued in accordance with the conversion ratio in replacement of the Class III Common Shares or Class III Letter Shares so converted.

Class II Common Shares are convertible into Class III Common Shares by a resolution of an extraordinary meeting of Shareholders resolving in the manner required for amendments of these Articles of Association.

In addition, additional Class III Common Shares shall be issued in accordance with the conversion ratio in replacement of the Class II Common Shares so converted.

The Class I Common Shares, the Class II Common Shares, the Class III Common Shares and the Class III Letter Shares are redeemable shares in accordance with the terms of article 49-8 of the law of August 10, 1915, on commercial companies, as amended (the “Law”), and the redemption features laid down in Articles 7 and 8 hereof and the disposal features laid down in Articles 6 and 8 hereof shall apply thereto.

The General Partner shall accept, to the extent required and whenever it shall not issue Class II Bonus Shares and Class III Bonus Shares subscriptions for such Shares.

The authorised capital of the Company is set at EUR 50,000,000,000 (the “Authorised Share Capital”) consisting of 10,000,000,000 Class I Common Shares of a par value of one euro and twenty-five cents (EUR 1.25) each, 20,000,000,000 Class II Common Shares of a par value of one euro and twenty-five cents (EUR 1.25) each, 9,782,549,738 Class III Common Shares of a par value of one euro and twenty-five cents (EUR 1.25) each and 5,000,000 Class III-A Common Shares of a par value of one euro and twenty-five cents (EUR 1.25) each, 5,000,000 Class III-B Common Shares of a par value of one euro and twenty-five cents (EUR 1.25) each, 10,000,000 Class III-C Common Shares of a par value of one euro and twenty-five cents (EUR 1.25) each, 10,000,000 Class III-D Common Shares of a par value of one euro and twenty-five cents (EUR 1.25) each, 15,000,000 Class III-E Common Shares of a par value of one euro and twenty-five cents (EUR 1.25) each, 15,000,000 Class III-F Common Shares of a par value of one euro and twenty-five cents (EUR 1.25) each, 20,000,000 Class III-G Common Shares of a par value of one euro and twenty-five cents (EUR 1.25) each, 25,000,000 Class III-H Common Shares of a par value of one euro and twenty-five cents (EUR 1.25) each, 5,000,000 Class III-I Common Shares of a par value of one euro and twenty-five cents (EUR 1.25) each, 5,000,000 Class III-J Common Shares of a par value of one euro and twenty-five cents (EUR 1.25) each, 16,050,000 Class III-K Common Shares of a par value of one euro and twenty-five cents (EUR 1.25) each, 5,025,720 Class III-L Common Shares of a par value of one euro and twenty-five cents (EUR 1.25) each, 68,626,707 Class III-M Common Shares of a par value of one euro and twenty-five cents (EUR 1.25) each, and 12,747,835 Class III-N Common Shares of a par value of one euro and twenty-five cents (EUR 1.25) each.

The General Partner is authorised and empowered for a period of 5 years starting on 28 June 2005 to issue Class I Common Shares and/or Class II Common Shares (whether or not as Class II Bonus Shares) and/or Class III Common Shares (whether or not as Class III Bonus Shares) from time to time including Class III Letter Shares in one or several series bearing different numbers or letters in order to identify them.

The authorisation granted to the General Partner includes the authorisation to issue Shares to itself.

The General Partner is authorised and empowered for the same period of 5 years starting on 28 June 2005 to determine the conditions attaching to any subscription of Shares and to determine the amount of issue premium (if any) which will have to be paid, and it may, from time to time, effect such whole or partial increase upon the conversion of any net profit of the Company into capital and the attribution of fully-paid Shares to Shareholders.

In connection with the authorisation to increase the capital of the Company given to the General Partner up to the amount of the Authorised Share Capital and in compliance with the terms of article 32-3(5) of the Law, the General Partner is authorised, at its discretion, to waive entirely or partially or to limit, or to set the conditions in respect of any preferential subscription rights of the then existing Shareholders of the Company.

The General Partner is further authorised to cause the Company to issue warrants, convertible bonds or assimilated instruments or bonds with warrants or subscription rights or to issue any financial instruments convertible into Shares under the terms and conditions to be set by the General Partner.

Each time the General Partner shall act to render effective the increase of capital, as authorised, Article 5 of the Articles of Association of the Company shall be amended so as to reflect the result of such action and the General Partner shall take or authorise any person to take any necessary steps for the purpose of the recording and publication of such increase and such amendment.

The Company recognises only one holder per Share; in case a Share is held by more than one person, the Company has the right to suspend the exercise of all rights attached to that Share until one person is appointed or designated by the joint holders as the sole owner in relation to the Company.

The Shares of the Company are and they continue to stay in registered form. The Shares are not certificated, but a certificate (certificat d’inscription nominative) witnessing the registration of the relevant Shareholder in the share register of the Company and the number of Shares held by it shall be issued by the Company on request of the Shareholder.

A share register shall be kept at the registered office of the Company and, to the extent the General Partner shall so decide, with a transfer agent and registrar. Such register shall set forth the name of each Shareholder, its residence or elected notice address, the number of Shares held by it, the class of Shares, the amounts paid in on each such Share, the transfers of Shares and the dates of such transfers.

Unpaid amounts, if any, on issued and outstanding Shares may be called at any time at the discretion of the General Partner, provided however that calls shall be made on all the Shares in the same proportion and at the same time. Any sum, the payment of which is in arrear, automatically attracts interest in favour of the Company at the rate of ten per cent (10%) per year or such other rate as may be determined by the General Partner from time to time calculated from the date when the payment was due until the date of the actual payment.

Article 6 – Transfer of Shares

Except for a Transfer taking the form of a redemption made pursuant to Article 7 or a Transfer to Accenture Ltd or a subsidiary thereof, no Transfer of Class I Common Shares of the Company by a Limited Shareholder shall be made unless the General Partner shall have given its prior approval to a contemplated Transfer. As used in this Article 6, the term “Transfer” shall have the same meaning as set forth in Article 8 below.

5

Except for a Transfer taking the form of a redemption made pursuant to Article 7 or a Transfer to Accenture Ltd or a subsidiary of Accenture Ltd, if a Limited Shareholder wants to Transfer all or part of its Class I Common Shares or of all or part of the rights attached thereto, in any form whatsoever, it must submit an application beforehand to the Company by any means approved by the General Partner. A Transfer application shall contain the name of the contemplated transferee, the contemplated sale price or consideration as well as any other relevant information. The decision of the Company will be made known to the applicant as soon as reasonably practicable after it shall have been taken. The Company’s decision in respect of the application must be made known to the Limited Shareholder by any means approved by the General Partner.

Any Transfer not made in compliance with the terms of these Articles of Association, with respect to the Company, be deemed to be null and void.

Requests for Transfers to the Company’s subsidiaries may be made in accordance with procedures to be approved by the General Partner, provided that any transferee, which is a subsidiary of the Company, shall retain the right, in its sole discretion, to separately refuse such request for Transfer.

Article 7 – Redemption of Shares

Subject to any contractual restrictions on Transfer by a holder set forth in any contract or agreement to which the Company or any of its affiliates is a party or set forth in Article 8 of these Articles of Association, Class I Common Shares shall be redeemable for cash at the option of the holder by giving irrevocable notice of an election for redemption to the Company.

At the initiative of the General Partner, the Company is authorised to redeem any Class I Common Share or any series held by any Limited Shareholder that becomes a Limited Shareholder after May 31, 2001 (or such other date that the Supervisory Board shall declare to be the date of the consummation of the Accenture group of companies’ transition to a corporate structure) (a “Subsequent Limited Shareholder”) for Accenture Ltd Class A Common Shares if the Company receives a satisfactory opinion from an internationally recognized counsel or professional tax advisor that such redemption should be tax-free with respect to such Subsequent Limited Shareholder. If the redemption of the Class I Common Share will be done in the context of or accompanied by a share capital reduction of the Company or a cancellation of Shares, the redemption must in addition be approved by a resolution at a meeting of Shareholders passed by a two-thirds majority of those present and voting, including the consent of the General Partner.

The redemption price for a Class I Common Share to be paid in Accenture Ltd Class A Common Shares shall equal a number of Accenture Ltd Class A Common Shares equal to the Valuation Ratio (as defined in Article 24). The redemption price for a Class I Common Share to be paid in cash shall equal the Valuation Ratio multiplied by the Market Price of an Accenture Ltd Class A Common Share (as defined in Article 24) as of either (i) the United States trading day (as defined in Article 24) on which the Company receives a notice of an election for redemption with respect to such Class I Common Share if such notice is received prior to the close of trading of Accenture Ltd Class A Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange or any other exchange on which they may be listed from time to time or (ii) the United States trading day immediately following the United States trading day on which the Company receives a notice of an election for redemption with respect to such Class I Common Share if such notice is received after the close of trading of Accenture Ltd Class A Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange or any other exchange on which they may be listed from time to time. The redemption price for any Class III Common Share or Class III Letter Share shall, subject to equality of shareholder treatment, be agreed between the Company and the holder thereof. The redemption price for Class II Common Shares shall constitute 10% of the price agreed in respect of a Class III Common Share or a Class III Letter Share between the Company and the holder of Class III Common Shares or of Class III Letter Shares.

6

The Company is authorized to redeem its Class II Common Shares or Class III Common Shares at the initiative of the General Partner. If the redemption of the Class II Common Shares or Class III Common Shares will be done in the context of or accompanied by a share capital reduction of the Company or a cancellation of Shares, the redemption of the Shares must be approved by a resolution at a meeting of Shareholders passed by a two thirds majority of those present and voting, including the consent of the General Partner.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the option of the Company represented by the General Partner, the redemption price payable to any Subsequent Limited Shareholder in connection with any redemption under this Article 7 may be paid in cash or in Accenture Ltd Class A Common Shares and any holder, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the General Partner, and the Company may agree that the Company may redeem such holder’s or part of such holder’s Class I Common Shares, Class II Common Shares, Class III Common Shares and/or Class III Letter Shares for different consideration or for consideration determined differently.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, a holder of Class I Common Shares shall not be entitled to have Class I Common Shares redeemed or transferred to the Company or to Accenture Ltd or any subsidiary thereof, and the Company shall have the right to refuse to honor any request for redemption of Class I Common Shares, (i) at any time or during any period, including, without limitation, during a “blackout period,” if the Company determines, based on the advice of counsel (which may be inside counsel), that there is material non-public information that may affect the Average Price Per Share (as defined below) at such time or during such period, (ii) if such redemption would be prohibited under applicable law or regulation (in each case regardless of whether the redemption price is payable in Accenture Ltd Class A Common Shares, cash or other consideration) or (iii) from the date of the announcement of a tender offer by the Company or any of its affiliates for Class I Common Shares, or any securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Class I Common Shares, until the expiration of ten United States business days after the termination of such tender offer, provided that nothing in this clause (iii) shall preclude any holder of Class I Common Shares from tendering Class I Common Shares in any such tender offer.

The Company may adopt reasonable procedures for the implementation of the redemption provisions set forth in this Article 7, including, without limitation, procedures for the giving of notice of an election for redemption.

An economic interest of the Company (or of any other person with respect to which the Company has expressly agreed to in writing) as pledgee shall be disregarded for this purpose. A Covered Person that holds Covered Shares indirectly through a wholly-owned personal holding company shall be considered the “Sole Beneficial Owner” of such Covered Shares, provided that such personal holding company is a Covered Person hereunder.

The “Market Price of an Accenture Ltd Class A Common Share” as of any day shall equal the Average Price Per Share as of such day, unless Accenture Ltd sells (i.e. trade date) shares of its Class A Common Shares on such day for cash other than in a transaction with any employee or an affiliate and other than pursuant to a preexisting obligation; in which case the “Market Price of an Accenture Ltd Class A Common Share” as of such day shall be the weighted average sale price per share, net of brokerage and similar costs.
