Finance History | 500 West Madison Street — One Hundred Fifteen Million Shares After the Name Broke
kevin
People treat Accenture as a Dublin holding company and a cloud consultancy.
The Chicago office is still the largest American book.
In 1989 Arthur Andersen and Andersen Consulting became separate units under Andersen Worldwide Societe Cooperative, a Swiss coordinating entity.
The more profitable unit paid the other 15 percent of profits. Andersen Consulting paid that freight through the 1990s while Arthur Andersen built a competing consulting line.
An International Chamber of Commerce arbitration in 2000 severed the name. The consulting firm became Accenture on 1 January 2001.
On 19 July 2001 Accenture Ltd. sold 115 million shares at 14.50 dollars each on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker ACN.
The offering raised 1.67 billion dollars in 2001 currency and represented about 12 percent of the equity. The shares closed the first day at 15.17 dollars.
Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley led the books.
The firm left its longtime rooms at 161 North Clark Street in August 2022 for seven floors of this Helmut Jahn tower at 500 West Madison Street, above the Ogilvie commuter hall. The lease included naming rights.
The pin is the public sidewalk at 500 West Madison. The interior floors are a working office.
The mechanism is a partnership split that turned a captive consulting division into listed ordinary shares after the accounting parent could no longer own the name.
