Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

On August 11, 2011, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) amended the Organizational Regulations of ACE Limited (the “Company”), primarily to reflect its constitution of a new Finance & Risk Committee, which assumed duties and responsibilities previously handled separately by a Finance and Investment Committee and a Risk Committee. The Organizational Regulations include updated duties and responsibilities of the newly constituted Finance & Risk Committee, which are contained in Section 9, as well as some clarifications for consistency. The Board also revised Sections 7.5 and 10.5 of the Organizational Regulations to reflect updated duties and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee, respectively, and revised Section 8.4.1 regarding the composition of the Executive Committee. A copy of the amended and restated Organizational Regulations is attached hereto as Exhibit 3 and incorporated herein by reference.
