Item 8.01. Other Events

On November 19, 2019, Walmart Inc. (the “Company”) was informed that Marc E. Lore, Executive Vice President, President and Chief Executive Officer, U.S. eCommerce, entered into a stock trading plan designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Plan”). Rule 10b5-1 trading plans permit individuals who are not in possession of material non-public information to adopt a written pre-arranged plan for transactions in securities under specified conditions and for specified periods of time. Mr. Lore’s Plan is part of an individual long-term asset diversification, tax, and financial planning strategy, and is in accordance with the Company’s Insider Trading Policy. Under the terms of the Plan, Mr. Lore will have no discretion or control over the timing or effectuation of any transactions in Company securities pursuant to the plan.

Under the terms of the Plan, Mr. Lore would execute twelve monthly scheduled transactions to sell 85,000 shares of Company common stock, par value $0.10 per share, that he currently owns not to exceed 1,020,000 shares in the aggregate. Under the Plan, each monthly sale is scheduled to occur on a pre-determined date beginning in December 2019 and ending in November 2020.

Mr. Lore continues to be subject to the Company’s stock ownership guidelines, under which he is required to hold Company stock equal in value to at least five times his base salary within 5 years of his appointment to his current position.

Any transactions under the Plan will be disclosed publicly through Form 144 and Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission to the extent required by law. Except as required by law, the Company does not undertake to report other Rule 10b5-1 trading plans that may be adopted by any officers, directors, or other shareholders in the future or to report any modifications or terminations of any publicly announced trading plan.
