Accenture CEO Julie Sweet Buys About $3 Million of Company Stock

Accenture Chair and CEO Julie Sweet bought about $3.0 million of the company's stock on the open market on Monday, according to a Form 4 filing, and a member of the board made a smaller purchase the same day.

Sweet acquired 12,200 Accenture Class A ordinary shares on Oct. 26 in two blocks, the filing shows: 2,100 shares at a weighted average price of $245.1063 and 10,100 shares at a weighted average of $246.1701. Together, the purchases total roughly $3.0 million.

Holdings rise by a third

After the trades, Sweet directly holds 48,910 Class A shares, up from 36,710 before the purchases, an increase of about a third, according to the filing.

Both blocks were executed in multiple trades. The first was filled at prices ranging from $244.59 to $245.58 and the second from $245.59 to $246.54, the Form 4 says.

The filing does not reference a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan for the purchases.

Open-market buys, not awards

The transactions carry transaction code P, which identifies an open-market or private purchase. That distinguishes them from the stock grants, award vesting and option exercises that account for many executive filings.

The Form 4 lists Sweet as both a director and an officer of the company, with the title Chair and CEO. It does not give a reason for the purchases.

A director buys too

Accenture director Paula A. Price also reported an open-market purchase on Oct. 26. She bought 800 Class A shares at a weighted average price of $249.8097, or about $200,000, according to her own Form 4 filing.

Price's shares were bought in multiple trades at prices ranging from $249.74 to $249.82. She holds 9,361 shares directly after the transaction.

By the numbers

• 12,200: Class A shares bought by Sweet on Oct. 26
• About $3.0 million: total value of Sweet's purchases at the reported weighted average prices
• 48,910: shares Sweet holds directly after the trades
• 800: shares bought by director Paula A. Price, who now holds 9,361 directly

Both Form 4s were signed by an attorney-in-fact on Oct. 28.
