Accenture CAO Burgum Amends RSU Grant Disclosure After Undercount in Original Filing

According to the amended filing, Melissa A. Burgum, identified as Chief Accounting Officer of Accenture plc, submitted the Form 4/A to correct errors that appeared in a Form 4 originally filed on August 3, 2026. The filing states that the original form "inadvertently reported a grant of 778 restricted share units," when the actual grant covered 1,034 restricted share units awarded under the Accenture plc Amended and Restated 2010 Share Incentive Plan.

As a result of that undercount, the total beneficial ownership figure was also misstated. The filing discloses that the original Form 4 reported 9,504 shares as the total securities beneficially owned following the transaction, whereas the corrected figure is 9,760 shares. The acquisition was recorded with a transaction code of "A" at a price of $0, consistent with a share award rather than an open-market purchase, according to the filing.

The amended Form 4/A was signed by Danika Haueisen as Attorney-in-Fact for Melissa A. Burgum and dated August 24, 2026. The filing covers Class A ordinary shares held directly by the reporting person and lists no derivative securities transactions in Table II.

What Was Disclosed

The filing is an amendment correcting an earlier Form 4 for Accenture's Chief Accounting Officer. It revises the reported RSU grant from 778 to 1,034 units and the resulting beneficial ownership total from 9,504 to 9,760 Class A ordinary shares.
