Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On February 28, 2011, Accenture SCA, through its Accenture International S.a.r.l. subsidiary, finalized the transfer of 1,411,153 Accenture SCA Class I common shares to Accenture plc. The transfer was in connection with transactions related to Accenture plc’s issuance of Accenture plc Class A ordinary shares delivered pursuant to outstanding options awards, grants of restricted share units and voluntary equity investment program share purchases under Accenture’s equity compensation plans. Accenture International S.a.r.l. received approximately $63.5 million in total cash and receivables in exchange for the 1,411,153 Accenture SCA Class I common shares transferred to Accenture plc.

The Accenture SCA Class I common shares were transferred in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on the basis that the transaction did not involve any public offering.

After December 20, 2010 (the date of Accenture SCA’s filing of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission) and prior to February 28, 2011, Accenture SCA and its subsidiaries transferred an additional 6,118,256 Accenture SCA Class I common shares to Accenture plc for similar purposes in unregistered transactions. In aggregate, 7,529,409 Accenture SCA Class I common shares (including the 1,411,153 shares described above) have been transferred to Accenture plc since the filing of Accenture SCA’s Form 10-Q on December 20, 2010.
