Messages from our Chairman and our
Lead Independent Director

We are pleased to invite you to join us for Walmart’s 2020 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on June 3, 2020 at 10:30 a.m. Central Time. Due to the public health impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19), the 2020 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting conducted via webcast. You will be able to participate in the virtual meeting online, vote your shares electronically, and submit questions by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/WMT2020.

Dear Fellow Shareholders: As I did in my letter last year, I’d like to highlight some ways we are driving Walmart’s ongoing transformation, guided by the four key components of our plan to win:				Dear Fellow Shareholders: As I complete my second year as your Lead Independent Director, I want to emphasize your Board’s ongoing commitment to robust governance and oversight. Continued focus on Board effectiveness now and in the future. As Walmart’s strategy continues to evolve, so will the skills, qualifications, experiences, and backgrounds that the Board seeks in director nominees. Our 12-year term limits for independent directors promote a disciplined director refreshment process, while our robust board evaluation process provides insights into the needs of the Board in the future. We believe that this process has resulted in a diverse and highly skilled Board with the right mix of perspectives, experiences, and tenures to guide us through this period of rapid change, and to provide effective leadership as we continue to serve our communities while protecting our associates and customers during this current global health crisis. We value your feedback. This year marked the sixth year of our expanded shareholder engagement program, and since our last shareholders’ meeting, we invited shareholders representing approximately 570 million Shares, including many of our largest investors, to participate in our outreach program. We ultimately engaged with shareholders representing approximately 525 million Shares, or about 38% of our public float, to discuss strategy, governance, compensation, and sustainability, among other topics. These conversations have contributed to our governance best practices and have helped us continue to enhance our disclosures in this proxy statement to provide investors with the information they seek. Ensuring our compensation practices support our strategy. We are committed to ensuring that our compensation program continues to support our strategy during this period of rapid change. The Board’s Compensation and Management Development Committee regularly reviews the performance metrics used in our incentive plans to ensure that they promote strong operating results and investments that support our ongoing transformation. Over the past several years, the CMDC has introduced greater differentiation to reward high performance, shifted our pay mix to place a greater emphasis on equity ownership, and simplified our long-term incentive awards. You can learn more about our executive compensation program in the CD&A beginning on page 42. Thank you for your investment in Walmart. The Board continues to work to represent your interests and earn your trust.
	Make every day easier for busy families;		Sharpen our culture and become more digital;
	Operate with discipline; and		Make trust a competitive advantage.
These areas of focus are fundamental in running our business every day, and even more so as Walmart plays an important role during the current global health crisis. Families need us more now than ever. Communities, customers and associates are counting on us. During this challenging time, we are keeping health and safety a priority by making our facilities safer for our associates to work and our customers and members to shop through actions such as increased sanitation, limiting the number of people in stores and clubs, and expanding no-contact pickup and delivery services. We appreciate the gravity of the responsibility we have, and we are grateful and proud of our associates doing extraordinary things to help communities across the globe. We made significant progress against each of the key components of our plan in fiscal 2020. We have continued to expand our U.S. omni-channel platform and now offer grocery pickup at approximately 3,200 locations and grocery delivery at 1,600 locations. We grew Walmart U.S. eCommerce sales by 37% with improved customer satisfaction. Outside of the U.S., we are expanding our ecosystems, with Flipkart and PhonePe scaling quickly in India and same-day delivery in key markets. We continue to innovate in the way we work by becoming more digital and working in small teams to drive innovation – and we’re continuing to invest in our associates’ pay, benefits, tools, and training. We are also finding new ways to leverage the scale and breadth of our operations, bringing technology to life to better serve our customers in a more seamless way. We are committed to earning the trust of our customers, communities, and other stakeholders. Your Board is highly engaged in overseeing our ongoing transformation. We are confident that the Board has the right mix of diverse skills, experiences, and backgrounds to serve as a strategic asset. We are also focused on thoughtful board refreshment, with term limits for independent directors and a robust director succession planning and recruitment process. I am confident your Board is well-positioned to continue to guide us in the years to come. Thank you for your continued support of Walmart, and I encourage you to attend our virtual shareholders’ meeting. Regardless of whether you are able to join us live for the 2020 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, your views are important to us, and I encourage you to vote your Shares as described on page 102.
Sincerely, Gregory B. Penner Chairman				Sincerely, Thomas W. Horton Lead Independent Director

Board Skills Criteria and Qualifications

What qualifications do the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board consider when selecting candidates for nomination?

At Walmart, we believe an effective Board should be made up of individuals who collectively provide an appropriate balance of distinguished leadership, diverse perspectives and viewpoints, strategic skill sets, and professional experience relevant to our business and strategic objectives.

The NGC selects potential candidates on the basis of outstanding achievement in their professional careers; broad experience and wisdom; personal and professional integrity; ability to make independent, analytical inquiries; experience and understanding of the business environment; willingness and ability to devote adequate time to Board duties; and such other experience, attributes, and skills that the NGC determines qualify candidates for service on the Board.

The NGC also considers whether a potential candidate satisfies the independence and other requirements for service on the Board and its committees, as set forth in the NYSE Listed Company Rules and the SEC’s rules. Additional information regarding qualifications for service on the Board and the nomination process for director candidates is set forth in the NGC’s charter and our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which are available on the Corporate Governance page of our website at http://stock.walmart.com/investors/corporate-governance/governance-documents.

Director Skills Criteria:

Walmart is moving with speed to better serve our customers and pursue our key objectives of making every day easier for busy families, sharpening our culture and becoming more digital, operating with discipline, and making trust a competitive advantage. Depending on the current composition of the Board and Board committees and expected future turnover on our Board, the NGC generally seeks director candidates with experience, skills, or background in one or more of the following areas:

Experience and Skills Relevant to the Successful Oversight of our Strategy
	Retail Experience As the world’s largest retailer, we seek directors who possess an understanding of financial, operational, and strategic issues facing large retail companies.		Global or International Business Experience Directors with broad international exposure provide useful business and cultural perspectives, and as a global organization, we seek directors with experience at multinational companies or in international markets.
	Technology or eCommerce Experience In order to deliver on our strategy to seamlessly integrate our retail stores and eCommerce in an omni-channel offering, we seek directors who can provide advice and guidance based on their experiences in eCommerce or related industries such as digital, mobile, or consumer internet.		Marketing or Brand Management Experience Directors with relevant experience in consumer marketing or brand management, especially on a global basis, provide important insights to our Board.

Experience and Skills Relevant to Effective Oversight and Governance
	Senior Leadership Experience Directors who have served in relevant senior leadership positions bring unique experience and perspective. We seek directors who have demonstrated expertise in governance, strategy, development, and execution.		Finance, Accounting, or Financial Reporting Experience We value an understanding of finance and financial reporting processes because of the importance our company places on accurate financial reporting and robust financial controls and compliance. We also seek to have multiple directors who qualify as audit committee financial experts.
	Regulatory, Legal, or Risk Management Experience Our company’s business requires compliance with a variety of regulatory requirements across a number of federal, state, and international jurisdictions. Our Board values the insights of directors who have experience advising or working at companies in regulated industries, and it benefits from the perspectives of directors with governmental, public policy, legal, and risk management experience and expertise.		Board Diversity Diversity and inclusion are values embedded in our culture and fundamental to our business. We believe that a board comprised of directors with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives and viewpoints improves the dialogue and decision-making in the board room and contributes to overall Board effectiveness. The Board assesses the effectiveness of its approach to Board diversity as part of the Board and committee evaluation process.

Board Refreshment and Succession Planning

The NGC is responsible for identifying and evaluating potential director candidates, for reviewing the composition of the Board and Board committees, and for making recommendations to the full Board on these matters. Throughout the year, the NGC actively engages in Board succession planning, taking into account the following considerations:

● Input from Board discussions and from the Board and Board committee evaluation process regarding the specific backgrounds, skills, and experiences that would contribute to overall Board and Board committee effectiveness; and

● The future needs of the Board and Board committees in light of the Board’s tenure policies, Walmart’s long-term strategy, and the skills and qualifications of directors who are expected to retire in the future.

1	Director Tenure Policies	Allow Board to anticipate future Board turnover		The Board believes that a mix of longer-tenured directors and newer directors with fresh perspectives contributes to an effective Board. In order to promote thoughtful Board refreshment, the Board has adopted the following retirement policies for Independent Directors, as set forth in Walmart’s Corporate Governance Guidelines: Term Limit: Independent Directors are expected to commit to at least six years of service and may not serve for more than 12 years. Retirement Age: Unless they have not yet completed their initial six-year commitment, Independent Directors may not stand for re-election after age 75.
2	Board/Committee Evaluations	Identify skill sets that would enhance Board effectiveness
3	Director Recruitment	Identify top director talent with desired background and skill sets
4	Director Onboarding	Tailored onboarding enables new directors to learn our business and contribute quickly

The Board may make exceptions to these retirement policies if circumstances warrant. For example, the Board could extend the term limit or retirement age for an individual director with particular skills or qualifications that are valuable to the Board’s effectiveness until a suitable replacement is found. Similarly, an Independent Director may retire before serving 12 years in order to stagger turnover on the Board or a Board committee. The Board believes these policies provide discipline to the Board refreshment process and have resulted in a diverse Board with an effective mix of skills, experiences, and tenures, as shown on page 13.

The NGC has engaged third-party consultants to assist it with the Board refreshment process and to help cultivate a continuous pipeline of potential future director candidates. As a part of the process of identifying potential director candidates, the NGC may also consult with other directors and senior officers. If the NGC decides to proceed with further consideration of a potential candidate, the Chair of the NGC and other members of the NGC, as well as other members of the Board, may interview the candidate. The NGC then may recommend that the full Board appoint or nominate the candidate for election to the Board.

Board Structure and Effectiveness

Board Leadership Structure

The leadership structure of our Board is designed to promote robust oversight, independent viewpoints, and the promotion of the overall effectiveness of the Board. The Board annually reviews its leadership structure as part of the process described on page 20. As discussed on page 99, approximately 50% of our company’s Shares are held by members of the family of Sam Walton, our company’s founder. Three generations of Walton family members have served on our Board, which demonstrates the Walton family’s interest in and commitment to the long-term success of our company. Despite their substantial ownership in the company, the members of the Walton family traditionally have held only three seats on our Board. While the NYSE Listed Company Rules provide exemptions from independence requirements for controlled companies, Walmart has not relied on and has no plans to rely on any of those governance exemptions because we believe it is important to have a majority independent board.

Our current Board leadership structure consists of:

Non-Executive Chairman Greg Penner	Lead Independent Director Tom Horton	President and CEO Doug McMillon
Primary Responsibilities	Primary Responsibilities	Primary Responsibilities
●Presides over meetings of the Board and shareholders ●Focuses on Board oversight and governance matters ●Provides advice and counsel to the CEO ●Agenda review process	●Liaison between Independent Directors and Chairman ●Agenda review process ●Board and Board committee development and evaluation ●Shareholder engagement	●Leadership of Walmart’s complex global business ●Implements strategic initiatives ●Development of robust management team

We have separated the Chairman and CEO roles since 1988. By separating these roles, our CEO is able to focus on executing our strategy and managing Walmart’s complex daily operations, and our Chairman, who is an Outside Director, can devote his time and attention to matters of Board oversight and governance.

We have had a Lead Independent Director since 2004. The role of the Lead Independent Director is designed to enhance the candor and communication between the independent members of the Board, the Chairman, and the CEO. Our Lead Independent Director is appointed annually by the independent members of the Board and has a robust set of responsibilities, including:

● presiding over executive private sessions of the Outside Directors and the Independent Directors;

● authority to call meetings of the directors, including separate meetings of the Outside Directors and the Independent Directors; and

● is available, when appropriate, for consultation with major shareholders.

Mr. Horton became our Lead Independent Director immediately following our 2018 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting. In addition to his role as Lead Independent Director, Mr. Horton also serves as the Chair of the NGC, which means he also oversees the annual Board evaluation process and actively participates in the work related to overall Board effectiveness, including Board development, succession planning, and refreshment.

Board Evaluations

The Board is committed to a robust Board evaluation process as an important tool for promoting effectiveness and continuous improvement. This year, the process was conducted under the leadership of the Lead Independent Director. Generally, the Board engages a third-party consulting firm every other year in order to bring an outside perspective to the evaluation process.

Our Board Evaluation Process

1		Questionnaires Each director completes a detailed questionnaire.	Topics covered include, among others: ●The effectiveness of the Board’s leadership structure and the Board committee structure; ●Board and committee skills, composition, diversity, and succession planning; ●Board culture and dynamics, including the effectiveness of discussion and debate at Board and committee meetings; ●The quality of Board and committee agendas and the appropriateness of Board and committee priorities; and ●Board/management dynamics, including the quality of management presentations and information provided to the Board and committees.
2		Interviews	Individual director interviews – Each director participates in a confidential, open-ended, one-on-one interview to solicit input and perspective on Board and Board committee effectiveness. Senior management interviews – Members of Walmart’s senior executive team also participate in confidential, one-on-one interviews designed to solicit management’s perspective on the Board’s effectiveness, engagement, and the dynamic between the Board and management.
	●
3		Action Items These evaluations have consistently found that the Board and Board committees are operating effectively.	Over the past few years, this evaluation process has contributed to various refinements in the way the Board and Board committees operate, including: ●Reducing the size of the Board to promote engagement and input into our strategic decision-making; ●Changing the Board committee structure to create a separate Compensation and Management Development Committee and a Nominating and Governance Committee; ●Changing committee assignments so that Independent Directors generally sit on one “strategy” committee and one “governance” committee; ●Ensuring that Board and committee agendas are appropriately focused on strategic priorities and provide adequate time for director input; ●Additional responsibilities for our Lead Independent Director, including active participation in the agenda-setting process for the Board and Board committees; and ●Increased focus on continuous Board succession planning and refreshment, including engaging a third-party consulting firm to help further develop our robust long-term director candidate pipeline.

We develop tailored onboarding plans for each new director. Shortly after joining our Board, each new director has “learn the business” meetings with the leaders of key operational and corporate support functions. Occasionally, a Board meeting is held at a location away from our home office, usually in a market in which we operate. In connection with these Board meetings, our directors learn more about the local business market through meetings with our business leaders in these markets, visits to our stores and other facilities in the local market, and visits to the stores of our competitors. We also typically hold one Board meeting per year at one of our eCommerce offices, where our Board members participate in intensive sessions focused on our eCommerce strategies and operations.

Our Board members are also expected to participate in other company activities and engage directly with our associates at a variety of events throughout the year. Examples of activities and events that members of our Board have participated in include:

● attending Walmart leadership meetings and traveling with senior business leaders on trips to domestic and international markets;

● touring facilities with our compliance associates;

● speaking at various culture, diversity, and inclusion events held at our home office in Bentonville, Arkansas and other locations; and

● attending and speaking at meetings of Walmart business segments, divisions, and corporate support departments.

Board Meetings and Director Attendance

The Board held a total of five meetings during fiscal 2020. The Outside Directors and Independent Directors met regularly in separate executive sessions, with the Lead Independent Director presiding over those sessions. As a whole, during fiscal 2020, our directors attended approximately 97% of the aggregate number of Board meetings and meetings of Board committees on which they served. Each director attended at least 75% of all Board meetings and meetings of Board committees on which he or she served.

Under our Board policy, all directors are expected to attend the company’s annual shareholders’ meetings. While the Board understands that there may be situations that prevent a director from attending an annual shareholders’ meeting, the Board encourages all directors to make attendance at all annual shareholders’ meetings a priority. As described in the notice of the meeting on page 4, the 2020 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting will be a virtual meeting.

All twelve Board members attended the 2019 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, including all director nominees named in this proxy statement.

Key Board Responsibilities

The Board’s Strategic Oversight Role

The Board has oversight responsibility for our company’s business strategy and strategic planning. Walmart operates in a rapidly changing retail environment. Shifts in market fundamentals, technology, and customer preferences require significant Board engagement with our strategy. As Walmart continues to transform its business, the Board works with management to respond to a dynamically changing environment. Given the iterative nature of this transformation, the Board’s oversight over strategy is a continuous process. Throughout the year, the Board and its committees oversee and guide management with respect to a variety of strategic matters, and strategic discussions are embedded in every Board and Board committee meeting.

While the Board and its committees oversee our strategic planning process, management is responsible for executing our strategy. The Board receives regular updates and engages actively with our senior management team regarding key strategic initiatives, technology updates, competitive and economic trends, and other developments. In addition, certain Board meetings are enhanced with “hands-on” experiences, such as visits to our stores and other facilities or technology demonstrations.

The Board’s oversight and our management’s execution of our business strategy are intended to help promote the creation of long-term stockholder and stakeholder value in a sustainable manner, with a focus on assessing both potential opportunities available to us and risks that we might encounter.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

Taking reasonable and responsible risks is an inherent part of Walmart’s business and is critical to our continued innovation, growth, and achievement of our strategic objectives. The Board and the Board committees actively oversee and monitor the management of the most significant risks that could impact our company. The Board does not view risk in isolation, but instead considers risk in conjunction with its oversight of Walmart’s strategy and operations.

Walmart identifies, assesses, and assigns responsibility for managing risks through its annual enterprise risk assessment process, other internal processes, and internal control environment. The Board, Board committees, and management coordinate risk oversight and management responsibilities in a manner that we believe serves the long-term interests of our company and our shareholders through established periodic reporting and open lines of communication.

Management Development and Succession Planning

Our Board places a high priority on senior management development and succession planning. The CMDC has primary responsibility for executive succession planning, and senior management development is a regular topic on the agendas for meetings of the CMDC.

At these meetings, the members of our CMDC, in consultation with our CEO, our Chief People Officer, and others as the CMDC may deem appropriate, engage in comprehensive deliberations regarding the development and evaluation of current and potential senior leaders, as well as the development of executive succession plans, including succession plans for our CEO position. This process has contributed to two successful CEO transitions since 2009. The Board has also adopted a CEO succession planning process to address unanticipated events and emergency situations.

Board’s Oversight of Culture and Human Capital Management

Our human capital management and talent development efforts go well beyond the senior management level. We believe that retail can be a powerful engine for economic mobility, and we are committed to a respectful, rewarding, diverse and inclusive work environment that allows our associates to develop the skills they need for success. The Board and the CMDC provide oversight and guidance on workforce development; compensation; benefits; recruiting and retention; and culture, diversity and inclusion. We continue to invest in our associates’ wages and training, and recently enhanced our leave and paid-time-off benefits. We believe that these actions have resulted in a more engaged and effective workforce that is better equipped to serve our customers in today’s rapidly changing retail environment.

Board Oversight of Legislative Affairs, Public Policy Engagement, Charitable Giving, and Sustainability

The NGC reviews and advises management regarding the company’s legislative affairs and public policy engagement strategy, as well as the company’s charitable giving strategy and other social, community, and sustainability initiatives. Walmart engages in the political process when we believe that doing so will serve the best interests of the company and our shareholders. Walmart is committed to engaging in the political process as a good corporate citizen and in a manner that complies with all applicable laws. Over the years, Walmart has provided greater transparency regarding the company’s political engagement. Since 2015, we have compiled lobbying disclosure information from our U.S. state-level public filings and presented them on our corporate website, and since 2016 we have also disclosed on our corporate website the lobbying expense from our public filings at the U.S. federal level. Walmart’s Government Relations Policy is available at http://corporate.walmart.com/policies.

Environmental, Social, and Governance Report

Our approach to environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) topics is rooted in our company’s purpose to save people money so they can live better. Embedded in our purpose is the principle of shared value, which means increasing business value by helping to address important needs in society and, conversely, helping transform society through our business. To maximize shared value, we aim not only to run a good retail business, but also to make large-scale and lasting improvements to the ecosystems most salient to our business. We set our ESG priorities based on relevance to our company purpose, key categories and markets, Walmart’s ability to make an impact, and relative importance to our customers and other stakeholders. We believe collective action in collaboration with other leaders and stakeholders is essential to transforming systems. Since 2007, our company has prepared and produced a report describing our company’s progress and initiatives regarding sustainability and other ESG matters. For the most recent information regarding Walmart’s ESG initiatives and related matters, please visit the “ESG Investors” section of our corporate website.

Shareholder Outreach and Engagement

We value regular engagement with and feedback from a wide variety of stakeholders, including customers, associates, suppliers, and communities. We also recognize the value of listening to the views of our shareholders, and the relationship with our shareholders is an integral part of our corporate governance practices. We conduct shareholder outreach throughout the year to ensure that management and the Board understand and consider the issues of importance to our shareholders and are able to address them appropriately.

Senior leaders and subject matter experts from the company meet regularly with representatives at many of our top institutional shareholders and periodically with leading proxy advisory firms to discuss Walmart’s strategy, governance practices, executive compensation, compliance programs, and other ESG related matters. Members of our Board participate from time to time in these meetings. Management reports regularly to the CMDC and NGC about these meetings, including feedback on these diverse topics and perspectives shared by our shareholders.

Corporate Governance

We continued this program of shareholder engagement during fiscal 2020, in addition to our customary participation at industry and investment community conferences, investor road shows, and analyst meetings. We also have incorporated into this proxy statement some of the feedback we received during these meetings. We also respond to individual shareholders who provide feedback about our business. We have had success engaging with parties to understand shareholder concerns and reach resolutions on issues that are in the best interests of our shareholders, and we remain committed to these ongoing initiatives.

Active Ongoing Shareholder Engagement
●Board members, senior leaders, and/or subject matter experts actively solicit feedback from our large shareholders on strategy, governance, compensation, ESG, and other topics. During fiscal 2020, we engaged with a majority of our 50 largest institutional shareholders, representing approximately 525 million Shares. ●The CMDC and NGC receive regular reports on this engagement. ●We welcome feedback from all shareholders, who can contact our Global Investor Relations team by:

Communicating with the Board

The Board welcomes feedback from shareholders and other interested parties. There are a number of ways that you can contact the Board or individual members of the Board.

	Via mail:		Via email:

Allison, Senior Vice President, Office of the Corporate Secretary, Chief Counsel for Finance and Corporate Governance, Walmart Inc. 702 Southwest 8th Street Bentonville, Arkansas 72716-0215		●the entire Board at directors@wal-mart.com; ●the Independent Directors at Independent.Directors@wal-mart.com; ●the Outside Directors at nonmanagementdirectors@wal-mart.com; or ●any individual director, at the full name of the director as listed under “Proposal No. 1 – Election of Directors” followed by “@wal-mart.com.” For example, our Chairman, Gregory B. Penner, may be reached at gregorybpenner@wal-mart.com.

We receive a large volume of correspondence regarding a wide range of subjects each day, including correspondence relating to ordinary store operations and merchandise in our stores. As a result, our individual directors are often not able to respond to all communications directly. Therefore, the Board has established a process for managing communications to the Board and individual directors.

Communications directed to the Board or individual directors are reviewed to determine whether, based on the facts and circumstances of the communication, a response on behalf of the Board or an individual director is appropriate. If a response on behalf of the Board or an individual director is appropriate, Walmart management may assist the Board or individual director in gathering all relevant information and preparing a response. Communications related to day-to-day store operations, merchandise, and similar matters are typically directed to an appropriate member of management for a response. Walmart maintains records of communications directed to the Board and individual directors, and these records are available to our directors at any time upon request.

Shareholders wishing to recommend director candidates for consideration should do so in writing to the address above. The recommendation should include the candidate’s name and address, a resume or curriculum vitae that demonstrates the candidate’s experience, skills, and qualifications, and other relevant information for the Board’s consideration. All director candidates recommended by shareholders will be evaluated by the NGC on the same basis as any other director candidates.

Board Processes and Practices

How We Determine Director Independence

Our Board is committed to ensuring its membership consists of the right mix of skill sets in light of Walmart’s strategy, the Board’s tenure policies, and the Board’s desire to maintain at all times a majority of directors who are independent in accordance with the NYSE Listed Company Rules. Historically, three members of the Walton family have been members of our Board, and the NGC and the Board believe this is appropriate in light of the Walton family’s significant and long-term Share ownership. Our CEO also serves on the Board, and our former CEOs have historically served on the Board for a period of time after they retire. Our incoming CEOs have supported this practice, and we believe this practice has contributed to successful CEO transitions during our company’s history. Consistent with our Board’s commitment to independent Board oversight, the Board generally seeks to fill the remaining Board seats with directors who are independent as defined in the NYSE Listed Company Rules.

In making independence determinations, the Board complies with all NYSE criteria, and with respect to Board committee membership, certain SEC criteria, and considers all relevant facts and circumstances. Under the NYSE Listed Company Rules, to be considered independent:

● the director must not have a disqualifying relationship, as described in the NYSE Listed Company Rules; and

● the Board must affirmatively determine that the director otherwise has no direct or indirect material relationship with our company.

The Board has adopted materiality guidelines that it considers and uses to aid in the director independence determination process. While not determinative of independence, these guidelines identify the following categories of relationships that the Board has determined will generally not affect a director’s independence.

Materiality Guideline Description
Ordinary Retail Transactions	The director, an entity with which a director is affiliated, or one or more members of the director’s immediate family, purchased property or services from Walmart in retail transactions on terms generally available to Walmart associates during Walmart’s last fiscal year.
Immaterial Ownership	The director or one or more members of the director’s immediate family owns or has owned during the entity’s last fiscal year, directly or indirectly, 5% or less of an entity that has a business relationship with Walmart.
Immaterial Transactions	The director or one or more members of the director’s immediate family owns or has owned during the entity’s last fiscal year, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of an entity that has a business relationship with Walmart, so long as the amount paid to or received from Walmart during the entity’s last fiscal year accounts for less than $1,000,000 or, if greater, 2% of the entity’s consolidated gross revenues for that entity’s last fiscal year. The director or a member of the director’s immediate family is or has been during the entity’s last fiscal year an executive officer or employee of an entity that made payments to, or received payments from, Walmart during the entity’s last fiscal year that account for less than $1,000,000 or, if greater, 2% of the entity’s consolidated gross revenues for that entity’s last fiscal year.
Immaterial Positions	The director or one or more members of the director’s immediate family is a director or trustee or was a director or trustee (but not an executive officer or employee) of an entity during the entity’s last fiscal year that has a business or charitable relationship with Walmart and that made payments to, or received payments from, Walmart during the entity’s last fiscal year in an amount representing less than $5,000,000 or, if greater, 5% of the entity’s consolidated gross revenues for that entity’s last fiscal year. Walmart paid to, employed, or retained one or more members of the director’s immediate family for compensation not exceeding $120,000 during Walmart’s last fiscal year.
Immaterial Benefits	The director or one or more members of the director’s immediate family received from Walmart, during Walmart’s last fiscal year, personal benefits having an aggregate value of less than $5,000.

Corporate Governance

In April 2020, the Board and the NGC conducted their annual review of directors’ relationships that may be relevant to independence, based on the directors’ responses to questionnaires soliciting information regarding their (and their immediate family members’) direct and indirect relationships with the company and due diligence performed by management regarding any transactions, relationships, or arrangements between the company and the directors, their immediate family members, or affiliated entities.

As a result of this review, the Board has affirmatively determined that the following directors are Independent Directors under the general independence definition in the NYSE Listed Company Rules: Cesar Conde; Timothy P. Flynn; Sarah J. Friar; Carla A. Harris; Thomas W. Horton; Marissa A. Mayer; and Steven S Reinemund. In addition, the Board determined that the currently serving members of the Audit Committee and the CMDC meet the heightened independence standards for membership on those Board committees under the NYSE Listed Company Rules, the Exchange Act, and the SEC’s rules. The Board also determined that Stephen J. Easterbrook, who resigned from the Board effective November 4, 2019, was independent and met the heightened independence standards under the NYSE Listed Company Rules and the SEC’s rules for compensation committee membership with respect to the portion of fiscal 2020 during which he served on the Board.

In making its determination as to the independence of our Independent Directors, the Board considered whether any relationship between a director and Walmart is a material relationship based on the materiality guidelines discussed above, the facts and circumstances of the relationship, the amounts involved in the relationship, the director’s interest in such relationship, if any, and such other factors as the Board, in its judgment, deemed appropriate. In each case, the Board found all relationships between the company and each of our Independent Directors to be immaterial to the director’s independence. The types of relationships considered by the Board are noted below:

Relationship Type	Director
Immaterial Ownership: The director or the director’s immediate family member directly or indirectly owned 5% or less of, but was not a director, officer, or employee of, an entity that has a business relationship with Walmart	Mr. Conde
	Ms. Mayer
Immaterial Transactions: The director’s immediate family member directly or indirectly owned more than 5% of, but was not a director or employee of, an entity that has a business relationship with Walmart	Ms. Mayer
Immaterial Transactions and Immaterial Ownership: The director was an officer and 5% or less equity owner of an entity that has a business relationship with Walmart	Mr. Conde
	Mr. Easterbrook
	Ms. Friar
	Ms. Harris
	Mr. Horton
Immaterial Transactions and Immaterial Ownership: Immediate family members of the director were employees or officers and less than 5% equity owners of entities that have a business relationship with Walmart	Mr. Conde
	Mr. Easterbrook
	Mr. Flynn
	Ms. Friar
	Mr. Horton
	Mr. Reinemund
Immaterial Positions and Immaterial Ownership: The director was either a director or trustee of and less than 5% equity owner of an entity that has a business relationship with Walmart	Mr. Conde
	Mr. Easterbrook
	Mr. Flynn
	Ms. Friar
	Mr. Horton
	Mr. Reinemund
Immaterial Position: Walmart employed a member of the director’s immediate family for compensation not exceeding $120,000 during Walmart’s last fiscal year	Ms. Harris

The aggregate amounts involved in each of the relationships and transactions described in the preceding table were either: (i) less than $1 million; or (ii) if greater than $1 million, then the aggregate amounts involved were less than 2% of the consolidated gross revenues for the entity’s last fiscal year, with the exception of certain relationships involving Mr. Conde and Mr. Reinemund.

Mr. Conde serves as a member of the board of directors of a Walmart supplier that received payments from Walmart during the entity’s last fiscal year that accounted for more than 5% of the entity’s consolidated gross revenues for its last fiscal year. The Board determined that this relationship was immaterial to Mr. Conde’s independence because, in his capacity as a

2020 Proxy Statement     33

Corporate Governance

member of the board of directors of the entity: (i) Mr. Conde is not and was not involved in any sales or marketing of products to Walmart; and (ii) he does not and has not received any material direct or indirect economic benefit from the relationship between Walmart and the entity. The payments by Walmart to the entity were for products in the ordinary course of business, and Walmart has had a relationship with this entity since a time prior to Mr. Conde’s membership on the board of this entity.

Immediate family members of Mr. Reinemund are employed by and have a less than 5% ownership interest in (but are not executive officers of) Walmart suppliers or vendors that received payments from Walmart during each entity’s last fiscal year that accounted for more than 2% of the entity’s consolidated gross revenues for that entity’s last fiscal year. The Board determined these relationships were immaterial to Mr. Reinemund’s independence because in each case neither Mr. Reinemund nor his immediate family member: (i) is or was an executive officer of the entity; (ii) has or had a material direct or indirect economic interest in the transactions between the entity and Walmart; or (iii) had advancement within or continued employment with such entity based on the marketing or sale of the entity’s goods or services to Walmart. Further, the payments made by Walmart to each entity, or by each entity to Walmart, were for various products and services in the ordinary course of business, and Walmart has had a relationship with each entity since a time prior to Mr. Reinemund’s immediate family member’s employment with each entity.

The Board does not believe S. Robson Walton, Gregory B. Penner, or Steuart L. Walton have any relationships with Walmart that would disqualify them from being considered independent under the NYSE Listed Company Rules. However, the Board has deferred its determination as to their independence. If the Board had made such an independence determination, then 10 of 11 of our director nominees, or approximately 91%, would have been independent.

In addition, although the Walton family holds approximately 50% of our company’s Shares, we have not and do not plan to rely on any of the exemptions from certain board independence requirements available to controlled companies under the NYSE Listed Company Rules. Our Board is committed to maintaining a majority independent Board and believes that this independence ensures robust oversight, independent viewpoints, and promotes the Board’s overall effectiveness.

The Board and the NGC concluded that each of the Independent Directors does not currently have, and has not had during any pertinent period, any direct or indirect relationship that: (i) constitutes a disqualifying relationship with Walmart under the NYSE Listed Company Rules; (ii) otherwise compromises the independence of such director; or (iii) otherwise constitutes a material relationship between Walmart and the director.

Related Person Transaction Review Policy

The Board has adopted a written policy applicable to all Walmart Executive Officers; all directors and director nominees; all shareholders beneficially owning more than five percent of Walmart’s outstanding Shares; and the immediate family members of each of the preceding persons (collectively, the “Covered Persons”). Any entity in which a Covered Person has a direct or indirect material financial interest or of which a Covered Person is an officer or holds a significant management position (each, a “Covered Entity”) is also covered by the policy. The Transaction Review Policy applies to any transaction or series of similar or related transactions in which a Covered Person or Covered Entity has a direct or indirect material financial interest and in which Walmart is a participant (each, a “Covered Transaction”).

Under the Transaction Review Policy, each Covered Person is responsible for reporting to Walmart’s Office of the Corporate Secretary any Covered Transactions of which he or she has knowledge. Walmart’s Office of the Corporate Secretary, with the assistance of Walmart’s chief audit executive, chief ethics and compliance officer, and other appropriate Walmart personnel, provides information to the Audit Committee for its consideration regarding the Covered Transaction, including: the view or opinion from the business unit desiring to enter into the transaction as to the benefits of the proposed transaction to the company; a point of view from the company’s corporate affairs department as to the reputational impact, if any, of the company entering into the transaction; the view and opinion from the global audit executive as to the fairness of the transaction to the company and its shareholders and whether the transaction was negotiated on an arm’s-length basis; and an opinion from the Office of the Corporate Secretary as to whether the Covered Person has otherwise complied with Walmart’s Statement of Ethics as it applies to the transaction. The Audit Committee reviews each Covered Transaction and either approves or disapproves the transaction. To approve a Covered Transaction, the Audit Committee must find that:

● the substantive terms and negotiation of the Covered Transaction are fair to Walmart and its shareholders and the substantive terms are no less favorable to Walmart and its shareholders than those in similar transactions negotiated at an arm’s-length basis; and

● if the Covered Person is a director or officer of Walmart, he or she has otherwise complied with the terms of Walmart’s Global Statement of Ethics as it applies to the Covered Transaction.

Fiscal 2020 Review of Related Person Transactions

Our company’s Office of the Corporate Secretary has developed and implemented processes and controls for identifying and obtaining information about proposed or existing transactions between the company and our directors, Executive Officers, principal shareholders, their immediate family members (collectively, the “related persons”), or entities in which one or more of these related persons has a specified relationship or ownership interest. The Office of the Corporate Secretary analyzes each identified transaction, with the exception of ordinary course retail transactions. Based upon the facts and circumstances of each transaction, the Office of the Corporate Secretary determines whether the related person has or will have a material direct or indirect interest in the transaction. Transactions in which Walmart is a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and the Office of the Corporate Secretary has determined that the related person has a direct or indirect material interest are referred to as “related person transactions.” Each related person transaction is presented to the Audit Committee for its review and approval or ratification. As described in our “Transaction Review Policy,” the Audit Committee considers the following factors when reviewing a related person transaction:

● the nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction;

● the substantive terms of the transaction, including the type of transaction and the amount involved;

● opinions from the company’s chief audit executive and Office of the Corporate Secretary regarding the fairness of the transaction to the company; and

● any other factors the Audit Committee deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, points of view from the relevant business unit as to the benefits of engaging in the transaction and from the company’s corporate affairs department as to any potential reputational impacts of engaging in the transaction.

We disclose in this proxy statement all related person transactions that are required to be disclosed under applicable SEC rules. Walmart believes the terms of the transactions described below are comparable to terms that would have been reached by unrelated third parties in arm’s-length transactions. The Audit Committee has approved each of the transactions disclosed below.

Corporate Governance

● On September 19, 2016, Walmart acquired Jet.com in a merger transaction, with Jet.com becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Walmart. The aggregate transaction consideration paid by the company consisted of a combination of cash of approximately $3.0 billion and restricted stock units representing the right to receive Shares determined using the closing date trading price equal to approximately $300 million. Marc E. Lore, the founder and largest stockholder of Jet.com (approximately 15.9% of the outstanding Jet.com shares on a fully-diluted basis), received the right to approximately $477 million in cash consideration payable by the company for his Jet.com shares as part of the merger transaction over the five-year period following the transaction. Mr. Lore received cash consideration payments related to the transaction of approximately $186 million in prior fiscal years and approximately $88 million in fiscal 2020. The remaining approximately $203 million of cash consideration from the transaction will be paid to Mr. Lore over the next two years. Mr. Lore’s portion of the transaction equity consideration consisted of restricted stock units for 3,554,093 Shares vesting over the five-year period following the closing date of the transaction. During fiscal 2020, Walmart issued 770,524 Shares to Mr. Lore pursuant to such restricted stock units that vested in fiscal 2020. In order for Mr. Lore to receive the remaining cash consideration payments and the remaining portion of the equity consideration, Mr. Lore generally must continue to be employed by Walmart through the various payment and vesting dates. However, if Walmart terminates Mr. Lore’s employment without cause or Mr. Lore resigns for good reason, he would continue to be entitled to the remaining cash payments in accordance with the payment schedule and any unvested restricted stock units would continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule. Mr. Lore is the Executive Vice President, President and Chief Executive Officer, U.S. eCommerce, of Walmart. His employment with Walmart in this role began immediately following the closing of the transaction.

● Lori Haynie, the sister of C. Douglas McMillon, a director of Walmart and an Executive Officer, is an executive officer of Mahco, Incorporated (“Mahco”). During fiscal 2020, Walmart paid Mahco and its subsidiaries approximately $39 million in connection with Walmart’s purchases of sporting goods and related products. Walmart expects to purchase similar types of products from Mahco during fiscal 2021.

● Greg T. Bray, a management associate in Walmart’s Finance department, is the brother-in-law of C. Douglas McMillon, a director of Walmart and an Executive Officer. For fiscal 2020, Walmart paid Mr. Bray a salary of approximately $242,100, a payment pursuant to the cash incentive plan of approximately $90,650, and other benefits totaling approximately $30,000 (including Walmart’s matching contributions to Mr. Bray’s 401(k) Plan account, Walmart’s matching contributions to Mr. Bray’s Deferred Compensation Matching Plan account, and health insurance premiums). In fiscal 2020, Mr. Bray also received a grant of 608 restricted stock units with a calculated value of approximately $60,000 at the date of grant. Mr. Bray continues to be an associate, and, in fiscal 2021, he may receive compensation and other benefits in amounts similar to or greater than those he received during fiscal 2020.

● Nichole R. Bray, a management associate in Walmart’s Information Systems Division, is the sister-in-law of C. Douglas McMillon, a director of Walmart and an Executive Officer. For fiscal 2020, Walmart paid Ms. Bray a salary of approximately $154,400, a payment pursuant to the cash incentive plan of approximately $55,300, and other benefits totaling approximately $26,000 (including Walmart’s matching contributions to Ms. Bray’s 401(k) Plan account and health insurance premiums). In fiscal 2020, Ms. Bray also received a grant of 659 restricted stock units having a calculated value of approximately $65,000 at the date of grant. Ms. Bray continues to be an associate, and, in fiscal 2021, she may receive compensation and other benefits in amounts similar to or greater than those she received during fiscal 2020.

● Stephen Furner, a manager at a Walmart Neighborhood Market, is the father of John R. Furner, an Executive Officer of Walmart. For fiscal 2020, Walmart paid Mr. Stephen Furner a salary of approximately $86,700, a payment pursuant to the cash incentive plan of approximately $58,500, and other benefits totaling approximately $500. Mr. Stephen Furner continues to be a Walmart associate, and, in fiscal 2021, he may receive compensation and other benefits from Walmart in amounts similar to or greater than those he received during fiscal 2020.

● Jason Turner, a management associate in Walmart U.S., is the brother-in-law of John R. Furner, an Executive Officer of Walmart. For fiscal 2020, Walmart paid Mr. Turner a salary of approximately $92,100, a payment pursuant to the cash incentive plan of approximately $35,000, and other benefits totaling approximately $16,000 (including Walmart’s matching contributions to Mr. Turner’s 401(k) Plan account and health insurance premiums). In fiscal 2020, Mr. Turner also received a grant of 152 restricted stock units with a calculated value of approximately $15,000 at the date of grant. Mr. Turner continues to be an associate, and, in fiscal 2021, he may receive compensation and other benefits in amounts similar to or greater than those he received during fiscal 2020.

● During fiscal 2020, Walmart entered into an agreement with Quibi Holdings, LLC (“Quibi”), under which Quibi agreed to provide advertising services and for which Walmart agreed to pay $15 million, payable during fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2021. Greg Penner, the Chairman of Walmart’s Board, is a member of Quibi’s board of directors. In addition, members of the Walton family, including Mr. Penner; S. Robson Walton, a director of Walmart; Steuart L. Walton, a director of Walmart; and members of their immediate family, own an aggregate equity interest in Quibi of approximately 16.87%. Walmart will continue to engage in transactions with Quibi during fiscal 2021 in amounts similar to or greater than the amounts Walmart paid Quibi in fiscal 2020.

Director Compensation

Walmart’s compensation program for Outside Directors is intended to:

● provide fair compensation commensurate with the work required to serve on the Board of a company with Walmart’s size, scope, and complexity;

● align directors’ interests with the interests of Walmart shareholders; and

● be easy to understand and communicate, both to our directors and to our shareholders.

Annual Benchmarking

Each June, the CMDC and Board undertake a comprehensive review of Outside Director compensation, including a comparison to director compensation at Walmart’s peer group companies. As a result of the review that was conducted last year, the CMDC and Board determined that our base director compensation and the additional fees for Board leadership positions described below were competitive and near the median of our peer group. Therefore, the CMDC and Board made no changes to our Outside Director compensation during fiscal 2020.

Components of Director Compensation

Our Outside Director compensation program consists of the following primary components:

Who is Eligible	Component	Annual Amount ($)	Form of Payment
Base Compensation – All Outside Directors	Annual Stock Grant	175,000	Shares
	Annual Retainer	100,000	Cash
Additional Fees – Some Outside Directors	Non-Executive Chairman Retainer	225,000	50% Shares/50% Cash
	Lead Independent Director Retainer	35,000	Cash
	Audit and CMDC Chair Retainers	25,000	Cash
	NGC, SPFC, and TeCC Chair Retainers	20,000	Cash

In addition, each Outside Director who attends in person a Board meeting held at a location that requires intercontinental travel from his or her residence is paid an additional $4,000 meeting attendance fee.

Form and Timing of Payment

Stock grants to Outside Directors are made annually upon election to the Board at our annual shareholders’ meeting, which was most recently held on June 5, 2019. If an Outside Director is appointed to the Board during a term, he or she will receive a prorated portion of the annual stock grant. Each Outside Director may elect to defer the receipt of this stock grant in the form of stock units that are settled in Shares following the end of the director’s Board service. The other components of Outside Director compensation listed above are paid quarterly in arrears. Each Outside Director can elect to receive these other components in the form of cash, Shares (with the number of Shares determined based on the closing price of Shares on the NYSE on the payment date), deferred in stock units, or deferred into an interest-credited cash account.

Director Stock Ownership Guidelines

Each Outside Director is required to own, within five years of his or her initial election to the Board, Shares or deferred stock units with a value equal to five times the annual retainer portion of the Outside Director compensation established by the Board in the year the director was initially elected. All Outside Directors who have reached the five-year compliance date own sufficient Shares or deferred stock units to satisfy this requirement.

C. Douglas McMillon is omitted from this table because he received compensation only as an associate of our company during fiscal 2020 and did not receive any additional compensation for his duties as a director.

Fees Earned or Paid in Cash (column (b))
Certain Outside Directors elected to either receive Shares in lieu of some or all of these amounts or defer these amounts in the form of deferred stock units, as shown below. These amounts were converted into Shares or deferred stock units quarterly using the closing price of a Share on the NYSE as of the respective payment dates.

Stock Awards (column (c))
In accordance with SEC rules, the amounts in this column are the aggregate grant date fair value of stock awards granted during fiscal 2020, computed in accordance with GAAP stock-based accounting rules (as set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718). Each Outside Director other than Mr. Penner that was elected to the Board at the 2019 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting received a stock award of 1,676 Shares ($175,000 divided by $104.42, the closing price of a Share on the NYSE on the grant date, and rounded to the nearest Share). Mr. Penner received a stock award of 2,753 Shares ($287,500 divided by $104.42, rounded to the nearest Share). In addition, upon his appointment to the Board on February 7, 2019, Mr. Conde received a prorated portion of the annual stock grant for the term ending at the 2019 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting. This grant consisted of 550 Shares (a prorated value of $53,219 divided by $96.73, the closing price of a Share on the NYSE on the grant date, and rounded to the nearest Share). Mr. Flynn, Ms. Friar, Ms. Mayer, Mr. Penner, Mr. Rob Walton, and Mr. Steuart Walton elected to defer these Shares in the form of deferred stock units.

Option Awards and Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation (columns (d) and (e))
We do not issue stock options to our Outside Directors and do not provide our Outside Directors with any non-equity incentive plan compensation. Therefore, we have omitted these columns from the table.

Change in Pension Value and Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Earnings (column (f))
While directors are permitted to defer cash retainers into an interest-credited account under the Director Compensation Deferral Plan, none of our current directors have elected to do so and do not have any balances in any such account. Therefore, we have omitted this column from the table.

All Other Compensation (column (g))
The amounts in this column include tax gross-up payments paid during fiscal 2020 relating to imputed income attributable to spousal travel expenses, meals, and related activities in connection with certain Board meetings during fiscal 2020. The cost of the underlying spousal travel expenses, meals, and related activities for each of the other directors is omitted from this column because the total incremental cost for such benefits for each director was less than $10,000.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

Advisory Vote to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation

What am I voting on?
We are asking our shareholders to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, under Section 14A of the Exchange Act, the compensation of our NEOs as disclosed in this proxy statement. We have held a similar shareholder vote every year since 2011 and expect to hold a similar vote at the 2021 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting. As described in the CD&A, our executive compensation program is designed with an emphasis on performance and is intended to closely align the interests of our NEOs with the interests of our shareholders. The CMDC regularly reviews our executive compensation program to ensure that compensation is closely tied to aspects of our company’s performance that our Executive Officers can impact and that are likely to have an impact on shareholder value. Our compensation program is also designed to balance long-term performance with shorter-term performance and to mitigate any risk that an Executive Officer would be incentivized to pursue good results with respect to a single performance measure, company segment, or area of responsibility to the detriment of our company as a whole. In the CD&A, we discuss why we believe the compensation of our NEOs for fiscal 2020 was appropriately aligned with our company’s performance during fiscal 2020. The CD&A also describes feedback we received regarding our executive compensation program during our shareholder outreach efforts, and is intended to provide additional clarity and transparency regarding the rationale for and philosophy behind our executive compensation program and practices. We urge you to read carefully the CD&A, the compensation tables, and the related narrative discussion in this proxy statement when deciding how to vote on this proposal. The vote on this proposal is advisory, which means that the vote will not be binding on Walmart, the Board, or the CMDC. However, the Board and CMDC value our shareholders’ opinions, and the CMDC will consider the results of the vote on this proposal when making future decisions regarding executive compensation and when establishing our NEOs’ compensation opportunities. In view of the foregoing, shareholders will vote on the following resolution at the 2020 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting: RESOLVED, that the company’s shareholders hereby approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Named Executive Officers of Walmart as disclosed in Walmart’s proxy statement for the 2020 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting in accordance with the SEC’s compensation disclosure rules.
FOR
The Board recommends that shareholders vote FOR this proposal.

Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

In this section, we describe our executive compensation philosophy and program that support our strategic objectives and serve the long-term interests of our shareholders. We also discuss how our CEO, CFO, and other Named Executive Officers (our NEOs) were compensated in fiscal 2020 and describe how their compensation fits within our executive compensation philosophy. For fiscal 2020, our NEOs were:

C. Douglas McMillon President and Chief Executive Officer	M. Brett Biggs Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer	Suresh Kumar Global Chief Technology Officer and Chief Development Officer	Judith McKenna Executive Vice President, President and CEO, Walmart International	Kathryn McLay Executive Vice President, President and CEO, Sam’s Club	John R. Furner Executive Vice President, President and CEO, Walmart U.S.

Disclosure regarding Mr. Furner’s fiscal 2020 compensation is not required under SEC rules. Nevertheless, we have voluntarily included his compensation information in this proxy statement on the same basis as our other NEOs. We included this disclosure because we believe it is helpful to provide shareholders with information about how our compensation plans are designed to incentivize and support each of our operating segments.

Executive Compensation

2020 Compensation Overview

Our Executive Compensation Philosophy and Framework

Our executive compensation programs are intended to motivate and retain key executives, with the ultimate goal of generating strong operating results and creating alignment with our shareholders. We have developed our compensation programs to support our enterprise strategy and to align our leadership team with our culture, strategy, and structure.

Our executive compensation program is built upon our global compensation framework:

✓Pay for performance by tying a majority of executive compensation to pre-established, quantifiable performance goals.

✓Use performance metrics that are understandable, that are tied to key retail performance indicators, and that our executives have the ability to impact.

✓Provide competitive pay to attract and retain highly-qualified talent at all levels.

✓Align management interests with the long-term interests of our shareholders by providing long-term incentives in the form of equity, combined with robust stock ownership guidelines.

✓Establish performance goals that are aligned with our strategy and financial and operating plans.

✓Encourage leadership accountability by tying a higher percentage of compensation to performance at higher levels of seniority.

How Our Executive Compensation Aligns with Our
Strategic Transformation

Walmart is the largest global retailer serving customers through approximately 11,500 stores under 56 banners in 27 countries and eCommerce websites. Our size, global presence, and industry attract intense competition from both traditional brick-and-mortar and eCommerce retailers. These competitors have created substantial price and market share disruptions. Our transformational omni-channel strategy leverages Walmart’s unique assets including physical stores, supply chain, and rapidly growing eCommerce capabilities to serve customers in all the ways they want to shop while providing solid returns to shareholders. This multi-year strategy has required and continues to require substantial capital investment in our stores, our associates, eCommerce, and other growth opportunities. These investments are generating positive results as our fiscal 2020 performance was strong.

We have designed our executive compensation program—metrics, goals, structure, mix, etc.—to be aligned with this strategy while also being highly motivational for our leadership team. Here are some specifics:

Our performance metrics are aligned with our ongoing transformation

● Our ongoing strategic investments in our people, our stores, lower prices, eCommerce, and technology are resulting in lower associate turnover and a better shopping experience for our customers. Delivering solid results in the near term allows us to fund the investments necessary to continue to transform our business, drive sustainable long-term growth, and deliver on our commitments to our stakeholders. For this reason, our incentive plans emphasize key indicators of retail success that can be impacted by our executives (i.e., sales, operating income, and ROI).

● Our long-term incentive design, which uses one-year performance metrics followed by an additional two-year vesting period, is the best approach in the context of a rapidly changing retail environment and a strategy that may need to evolve over time.

● Our emphasis on strong, efficient growth supports including a sales metric in both our annual and long-term incentive plans, both of which include a return- or profit-based metric as well.

Our performance goals are aligned with our ongoing transformation

● Our significant multi-year investments in people, stores, lower prices, eCommerce, technology, and growth opportunities have negatively impacted operating income in the short- to medium-term. This impact has been reflected in our financial guidance, and our incentive plan performance goals have consistently been aligned with that guidance.

● For fiscal 2020, our incentive goals reflected our current investment cycle and continued emphasis on strong, efficient growth.

2020 Proxy Statement     43

Executive Compensation

Our pay mix is aligned with our ongoing transformation

● The ultimate success of our strategic transformation will be measured in our ability to deliver solid returns to our shareholders over the long term. For that reason, our NEO pay mix is heavily weighted toward equity with a three-year vesting period. Beginning in fiscal 2018, we began shifting a larger percentage of total direct compensation (“TDC”) toward performance equity.

● Our robust stock ownership guidelines for executive officers further support alignment between our leadership and our independent shareholders.

Executive Compensation

NEO Compensation Components and Pay Mix

What are the primary components of our fiscal 2020 NEO compensation?

Our executives’ total direct compensation, or TDC, is heavily weighted towards performance and appropriately balances executive focus on our short- and longer-term priorities with annual and long-term rewards.

There are three components of our executives’ fiscal 2020 TDC: base salary, annual cash incentive, and long-term equity:

Component	Description/Objective	Performance Metrics	Form and Timing of Payout
Base Salary	Fixed base of cash compensation commensurate with job responsibilities and experience	Subject to annual adjustment based on individual performance	Paid in cash bi-weekly
Annual Cash Incentive	Variable pay intended to focus leaders and incentivize performance against key operational metrics, depending on position Goals are set at the beginning of the fiscal year and aligned with operating plan and public guidance	●Sales ●Operating Income	Paid in cash after the end of the fiscal year
Long-Term Equity Performance Equity	Variable pay intended to focus leaders and incentivize performance against metrics aligned with our long-term strategic goals	●ROI ●Sales ●Stock performance	Paid in Shares; one year performance period followed by an additional two year vesting period
Retention Stock	Intended to align executives’ long-term interests with our shareholders’ interests and promote retention	Value realized depends on long-term stock price performance	Paid in Shares after the end of a three-year vesting period

How our incentive metrics and goals support our strategy

Strong financial performance is what allows us to invest in our ongoing strategic transformation. Therefore, the CMDC seeks to drive strong performance with respect to traditional measures of success in the retail industry. Our incentive metrics of sales, operating income, and ROI are traditional measures of retail success and are commonly used by retailers in their incentive plans. Moreover, they are broadly correlated with share price in the retail industry and aligned with our historical stock performance. For more information, see “What financial performance metrics are used in our incentive programs, and why did the CMDC select these metrics?” on page 50 below.

Executive Compensation

Executive Compensation Governance and Process

At Walmart, we are committed to the highest standards of compensation governance. We design and administer our executive compensation program to motivate, retain, and focus key executives to drive our strategy, generate strong operating results, and deliver solid returns to our shareholders. Our compensation programs are also intended to align the interests of our leadership team with our shareholders and to promote our pay-for-performance culture and philosophy.

Who sets executive compensation at Walmart?

The CMDC, which consists of three independent directors, is responsible for establishing and approving executive compensation for all Executive Officers, including the CEO and other NEOs, and for overseeing our executive compensation program (see page 25 for more information about the CMDC).

For our CEO. Our CEO has no role in determining his own compensation, which is set by the CMDC in consultation with our Chairman and with input from the CMDC’s independent compensation consultant and Walmart’s Global People Division.

For other Executive Officers, including our NEOs. Our CEO makes recommendations to the CMDC regarding the compensation of our NEOs and other Executive Officers. The CMDC reviews these recommendations and sets individual NEO TDC values and awards as it deems appropriate.

Role of the CMDC’s Independent Compensation Consultant

Since early 2010, the CMDC has engaged Pay Governance LLC (“Pay Governance”) as its independent executive compensation consultant. Under the terms of its engagement, Pay Governance reports directly and exclusively to the CMDC; the CMDC has sole authority to retain, terminate, and approve the fees of Pay Governance; and Pay Governance may not be engaged to provide any other services to Walmart without the approval of the CMDC. Other than its engagement by the CMDC, Pay Governance does not perform and has never performed any other services for Walmart. The CMDC’s independent consultant attends and participates in CMDC meetings at which executive compensation matters are considered, and performs various analyses for the CMDC, including:

● peer group benchmarking;

● realizable pay analyses;

● analyses regarding the alignment of pay and performance;

● analyses of the correlation between incentive plan performance measures and total shareholder return; and

● assessments of the difficulty of attaining performance goals.

The CMDC annually reviews the independence of Pay Governance in light of SEC rules and NYSE Listed Company Rules regarding compensation consultant independence and has affirmatively concluded that Pay Governance is independent from Walmart and has no conflicts of interest relating to its engagement by the CMDC. The CMDC also reviews the performance of Pay Governance.

Executive Compensation

What factors are considered in setting Total Direct Compensation for our NEOs?

The CMDC considers a variety of factors in setting Total Direct Compensation for our NEOs, including:

● the overall financial and operating performance of our company and its operating segments and/or areas of responsibility;

● each NEO’s individual performance and contributions to the achievement of financial goals and operational milestones;

● the performance of each executive’s business unit or function against pre-determined financial objectives;

● each NEO’s job responsibilities, expertise, historical compensation, and years and level of experience;

● our overall succession planning and the importance of retaining each NEO and each NEO’s potential to assume greater responsibilities in the future; and

● peer group benchmarking data and compensation analyses.

How is peer group data used by the CMDC?

The CMDC reviews publicly available compensation information from peer companies when establishing TDC for our executives. In early fiscal 2019, with the assistance of Pay Governance, the CMDC developed a new, simpler and more focused peer group to replace the three peer groups used in the past. This new peer group aims to reflect a cross-industry sample of the largest U.S.-based companies, including large retailers and companies with significant and complex international operations. These peer group companies were selected using the following multi-step screening process:

CEO Compensation Peer Group Screening Methodology

	Geography Screen U.S.-headquartered companies
	Ownership Screen Publicly traded Excluded private companies
	Scope & Industry Screen Revenue: >$75B, or Market Cap: >$75B (with revenues >$50B), or Retailer: >$50B revenues Founder Screen Excluded companies whose current CEO is the founder
	42 Peer Companies Applying this methodology, our new peer group consisted of the following 42 companies when setting fiscal 2020 compensation in January 2019:

AmerisourceBergen	Costco Wholesale Corporation	Johnson & Johnson	Target Corporation
Corporation	CVS Health Corporation	JPMorgan Chase & Co.	UnitedHealth Group
Anthem, Inc.	DowDuPont Inc.	The Kroger Co.	Incorporated
Apple Inc.	Express Scripts Holding Co.	Lockheed Martin Corporation	United Technologies
AT&T Inc.	Exxon Mobil Corporation	Lowe’s Companies, Inc.	Corporation
Bank of America Corporation	Ford Motor Company	McKesson Corporation	United Parcel Service, Inc.
The Boeing Company	General Electric Company	Microsoft Corporation	Valero Energy Corporation
Cardinal Health, Inc.	General Motors Company	PepsiCo, Inc.	Verizon Communications Inc.
Caterpillar Inc.	The Home Depot, Inc.	Pfizer Inc.	Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc.
Chevron Corporation	International Business	Phillips 66	The Walt Disney Company
Citigroup Inc.	Machines Corporation	The Procter & Gamble	Wells Fargo & Company
Comcast Corporation	Intel Corporation	Company

Executive Compensation

While we believe that this peer group provides a simplified and more straightforward comparison to a broad range of companies with complex, international operations, Walmart is still significantly larger than the peer group median by a variety of measures, as shown in the following chart:

Walmart Positioning Relative to Compensation Peer Group (as of fiscal year end 2019)

The CMDC uses benchmarking data as a general guide to appropriately set competitive compensation consistent with our emphasis on performance-based compensation.

While the benchmarking data generally are used for comparable positions, the CMDC also reviews peer group data for retail CEO positions for purposes of benchmarking the compensation of our executives who lead our operating segments. These executives have significant responsibilities and lead organizations that, considered separately from the rest of our company, are larger than many of the other retailers in the peer group, and we believe that these positions are often comparable to or carry greater responsibilities than CEO positions at many of our peer group companies. In addition, from a competitive standpoint, we believe that it is more likely that these leaders would be recruited for a CEO position in the retail industry or elsewhere, rather than for a lateral move to lead an operating segment of a company.

What other information does the CMDC consider when setting executive pay?

Individual Performance

The CMDC considers the individual performance of each NEO, including each NEO’s contributions to our key strategic priorities and operational goals, as described under “Fiscal 2020 NEO Pay and Performance Summaries” beginning on page 58.

CEO Pay and Performance Alignment

The CMDC reviews an assessment by Pay Governance regarding the alignment of our CEO’s pay with our company’s performance, including the appropriateness of our CEO’s pay opportunity compared to peers and the alignment of our CEO’s realizable pay and our performance relative to our peer group companies. This assessment concluded that our CEO’s most recent fiscal year (fiscal 2020) and three-year (fiscal 2018-2020) pay opportunity and realizable pay are aligned with Walmart’s performance over the same time periods.

Tally Sheets

The CMDC also reviews “tally sheets” prepared by our company’s Global People Division. These tally sheets summarize the total value of the compensation realizable by each NEO for the upcoming fiscal year and quantify the value of each element of that compensation, including perquisites and other benefits. The tally sheets also quantify the amounts that would be owed to each NEO upon retirement or separation from our company.

How does shareholder feedback impact executive compensation?

Our Board actively seeks and values feedback from shareholders. Over the past several years, in addition to our day-to-day interactions with investors, we have expanded our shareholder engagement to include an annual outreach program focused on strategy, governance, executive compensation, and other topics suggested by our shareholders. Since our 2019 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, we invited 35 institutional shareholders representing approximately 570 million Shares, including many of our largest investors, to participate in our outreach program. We ultimately engaged with shareholders representing approximately 525 million Shares, or about 38% of our public float. We also had conversations with the leading proxy advisory firms.

This engagement gave us an opportunity to discuss our strategy, our commitment to corporate governance and executive compensation best practices, how our governance and compensation practices help to support our strategy, and our commitment to sustainability and shared value. While our shareholders expressed a wide range of perspectives in these meetings, we received generally positive feedback on our strategy, our changes to our Board and committee structure over the past few years to support that strategy, our executive compensation program, and recent enhancements to our proxy statement disclosures. The feedback we have received from our shareholders, including the results of our say-on-pay proposal, is regularly communicated to the CMDC, the NGC, and the Board. We believe that the results of our say-on-pay proposals over the past several years, shown in the chart to the right, also indicate that shareholders generally are supportive of our executive compensation program, and therefore the CMDC made no material changes to our executive compensation program as a result of this vote.

Fiscal 2020 Performance Metrics

What financial performance metrics are used in our incentive programs, and why did the CMDC select these metrics?

Our NEOs’ performance-based pay for fiscal 2020 was based on achieving objective, pre-established financial goals for the following metrics:

Fiscal 2020 Financial Performance Metrics

Annual Cash Incentive	Long-Term Performance Equity

* For purposes of our incentive programs, total company and International sales, operating income, and ROI are calculated on a constant currency basis and exclude certain items, such as revenue from fuel sales. See page 57 for more information.

Executive Compensation

The CMDC concluded that the metrics described above are aligned with our larger enterprise strategy and appropriate and effective in driving results tied to shareholder value. In reaching this conclusion, the CMDC considered the following factors:

● These performance metrics are aligned with our enterprise strategy and can be impacted by our executives. Unlike metrics tied to stock price or shareholder return, our executives can have a direct impact on our sales, operating income, and ROI. Furthermore, unlike earnings per share and other share-based metrics, sales, operating income, and ROI are not materially impacted by our share repurchase program.

● These metrics are important for judging retail performance. Sales, operating income, and ROI measures historically have been, and continue to be, important indicators of retail performance, and we believe that our performance in these areas is important to our shareholders.

● The CMDC believes that success with respect to these metrics will support shareholder value over the long-term. The CMDC’s independent compensation consultant has reviewed the historical correlation of various performance metrics and TSR within the retail industry and found that the metrics used in our incentive plans generally are aligned with TSR in the retail industry. We believe that strong performance with respect to these metrics should translate into shareholder value creation over time.

● The CMDC believes that relative TSR and other relative performance metrics are not the best way to incentivize our executives. There are several key differences in our business compared to other publicly-traded retailers in the U.S., including our size, our significant international operations, our product mix, our variety of formats, and our growing eCommerce and omni-channel offerings. While the CMDC closely monitors Walmart’s performance relative to that of our peers when making compensation decisions, the CMDC believes that the best approach for Walmart is to tie our executive compensation to performance metrics that are aligned with our strategy and operating plans and that can be directly impacted by our executives. Additionally, because a significant portion of TDC is in the form of equity awards, the CMDC believes that our executives’ interests are appropriately aligned with the interests of our shareholders.

● The combination of these performance metrics mitigates risk. Using a combination of performance metrics mitigates the risk that our executives could be motivated to pursue results with respect to one metric to the detriment of our company as a whole. For example, if management were to prioritize increasing sales by pursuing strategies that would negatively impact profitability, resulting increases in incentive pay based on sales should be offset by decreases in incentive pay based on operating income and ROI.

What non-financial metrics are used to assess the performance of our NEOs, and how can these metrics impact NEO pay?

Culture, Diversity, and Inclusion. The performance evaluation of each of our NEOs and most other management associates includes performance with respect to culture, diversity, and inclusion. As described on page 48, the CMDC considers performance evaluations, along with other factors, when making pay decisions. Additionally, any associate’s annual cash incentive payment may be reduced by up to 30% if they engage in behavior inconsistent with our discrimination and harassment policies.

For more information about Walmart’s commitment to diversity and inclusion and key diversity and inclusion initiatives, please see Walmart’s most recent Culture, Diversity, and Inclusion Report, which can be found on our corporate website under the section titled “ESG Investors.”

Incentive Goal Setting Philosophy and Process

How does the CMDC set performance goals?

Performance goals are established in the context of, and consistent with, the company’s enterprise strategy, financial operating plans, and financial guidance each fiscal year. This process begins with the Board’s review of the company’s overall enterprise strategy and long-term financial plan beginning in the spring and culminating at an annual Board strategic planning meeting. Following the strategic planning meeting, the annual operating plans of the company and each of its operating segments are established with SPFC and Board input. The CMDC then establishes performance goals under our annual and long-term incentive programs that are consistent with these operating plans:

Incentive Plans Informed by Strategic and Financial Planning Process

●	●	●
Long-Range Planning April - September ●Assess competitive landscape and macro trends ●Refine enterprise strategy and segment-specific initiatives	Annual Operating Plan September - January ●Develop annual operating plan in light of long-range planning and strategic initiatives ●Review strategy and planned capital expenditures	Incentive Plans September - March ●Review choice of incentive metrics to ensure that they support enterprise strategy ●Establish performance goals aligned with annual operating plan and guidance

In fiscal 2016, we began articulating our strategy to become the first retailer to deliver a seamless shopping experience at scale. We began executing on and fine-tuning this strategy by making significant multi-year investments in our people, technology, and eCommerce supply chain to improve our customers’ experience today while positioning Walmart for sustainable growth in the future. We also continued to focus on optimizing our global portfolio through restructuring certain eCommerce operations and by closing certain underperforming stores and selling certain assets while also continuing these strategic investments.

At the time, we announced that these investments would result in short-term declines in operating income and earnings per share. Consistent with our long-term strategic plan, in February 2019 we provided guidance regarding our expected financial performance for fiscal 2020. In this guidance we estimated that we would have constant currency net sales growth of at least 3% for fiscal 2020. We also estimated that our fiscal 2020 consolidated operating income would decline by a low single-digit percentage range, including Flipkart, and increase by a low single-digit percentage range, excluding Flipkart. In March of 2019, the CMDC established sales, operating income, and ROI goals for fiscal 2020 under our incentive plans, consistent with our guidance. For example, the total company target operating income and sales goals for fiscal 2020 were as follows:

Incentive Metric	Fiscal 2020 Target Goal (in millions) ($)	% Change from Fiscal 2019 (excluding certain items described on p. 57)
Total Company Operating Income	21,319	-2.9%
Total Company Sales	510,304	3.5%

These incentive goals were established with the intent that performance in line with our operating plans and guidance should result in payouts approximately at target. In order to achieve the maximum payout goals, our performance would have to exceed our operating plans to a significant degree. Threshold performance goals are set at a level that is attainable and below which the company could not justify a payout. The CMDC’s independent compensation consultant annually evaluates the difficulty of our target performance goals and has consistently found these goals to be challenging. Additionally, over the past ten years, under both our annual and long-term incentive plans, our total company performance has exceeded target incentive goals in five years and fallen short of target incentive goals in five years. We believe this is further evidence of the effectiveness of our goal-setting process in establishing performance goals that are appropriately challenging.

Executive Compensation

Why does the CMDC set goals each year under our long-term equity incentive program?

The CMDC has found that setting long-term equity performance goals each year, with awards having a three-year vesting period, is the most effective approach for our long-term equity incentive program for the following reasons:

As the largest global retailer, Walmart’s operating results are significantly impacted by macroeconomic and regional economic factors that may change drastically and that are outside of management’s control. These economic factors, the rapidly evolving retail industry, and our own ongoing strategic transformation make it difficult to forecast accurately over a three-year period.

We believe that performance goals cease to be an effective tool in motivating performance if the goals either become unrealistic or too easy to achieve due to macroeconomic factors beyond the control of our executives or due to changes in our strategy and related investments. While some companies attempt to address the impact of macroeconomic factors by using relative goals in their long-term incentive plans, the CMDC has determined that relative goals are not the right approach for Walmart for the reasons described on pages 48-49.

The CMDC regularly reviews Walmart’s performance relative to peers and the relative alignment of pay and performance to ensure that our incentive programs are operating as intended.

Another advantage of this approach is that it is more easily understandable and results in performance goals that are better aligned with our strategic transformation; the CMDC believes this approach is more effective in motivating performance. Our incentive goals are aligned with our enterprise strategy, business plan, and expectations regarding financial performance. These expectations necessarily change from year-to-year based on macroeconomic conditions, strategic investments, and other factors.

For example, if we were to set three-year sales goals, this would result in a situation in which our leaders have three differing sales goals at any one time – one for each outstanding tranche of performance equity. We believe this approach would potentially be confusing and could undermine the effectiveness of our performance equity program as a tool for incentivizing performance.

The CMDC believes that combining annual performance goals with a three-year vesting period effectively balances long-term focus with clear, understandable, and aligned performance goals.

Fiscal 2020 Performance Goals and Performance

What were the fiscal 2020 financial goals under our annual and long-term incentive plans?

Our NEOs’ performance-based pay for fiscal 2020 was based on achieving objective, pre-established financial goals for the following weighted metrics:

Annual Cash Incentive	Long-Term Performance Equity

* For purposes of our incentive programs, total company and International sales, operating income, and ROI are calculated on a constant currency basis and exclude certain items, such as revenue from fuel sales. See page 57 for more information.

How did we perform in comparison to those goals?

Fiscal 2020 Annual Cash Incentive Goals and Results

Constant Currency Operating Income (excluding certain items*)
(in millions)

* In order to make results comparable from year-to-year, we exclude the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations and the effects of certain other items from our reported results of operations for incentive plan purposes. See page 57 for more information.

Constant Currency Sales (excluding certain items*)
(in millions)

* In order to make results comparable from year-to-year, we exclude fuel sales, the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations, Sam’s Club tobacco sales, and the effects of certain other items from our reported results of operations for incentive plan purposes. See page 57 for more information.

Fiscal 2020 Long-Term Performance Equity Goals and Results

* In order to make results comparable from year-to-year, we exclude fuel sales, the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations, Sam’s Club tobacco sales, and the effects of certain other items from our reported results of operations for incentive plan purposes. See page 57 for more information. Additionally, in calculating the long-term performance equity performance for Mr. McMillon and Mr. Biggs, the CMDC used an adjusted ROI of 13.9%. The CMDC determined that certain losses and expenses related to business restructuring charges, which primarily included non-cash impairment charges on certain trade names and other long-lived assets, should not be excluded when determining Mr. McMillon’s and Mr. Biggs’ incentive results for fiscal 2020 because such losses and expenses were a result of enterprise-level strategic decisions.

* The fiscal 2020 long-term performance equity performance for Mr. McMillon and Mr. Biggs was 108.86%. In calculating the performance equity percentage for Mr. McMillon and Mr. Biggs, the CMDC determined that certain losses and expenses related to business restructuring charges, which primarily included non-cash impairment charges on certain trade names and other long-lived assets, should not be excluded because such losses and expenses were a result of enterprise-level strategic decisions.

Executive Compensation

Why do the results used in our incentive plans differ from our reported results of operations for fiscal 2020?

The CMDC’s objective in administering our incentive plans is to ensure that incentive awards are calculated on a comparable basis from year-to-year, and to ensure that plan participants are incentivized and rewarded appropriately for performance within their control. The CMDC undertakes a rigorous oversight and certification process to determine the items to exclude from our reported results of operations for purposes of our incentive plans. This process is not outcome-driven and includes both positive and negative adjustments to reported results of operations.

For these reasons, the following types of items are excluded from our incentive goals and/or our incentive calculations:

● Items excluded by the terms of the incentive plans. Like many other companies, our shareholder-approved incentive plans specify that incentive payouts be calculated by excluding the impact of recent acquisitions and divestitures, restructurings, and items that similarly impact our operating results. For fiscal 2020, these items represented the majority of the difference between our reported operating income and our operating income as calculated for incentive plan purposes. The largest single operating income exclusion, representing a majority of the difference between reported operating income and operating income for incentive plan purposes, was the exclusion of certain losses and expenses related to business restructuring charges, which primarily included non-cash impairment charges on certain trade names and other long-lived assets in the Walmart U.S. and Walmart International segments. As described on page 57, these losses and expenses were not excluded for certain NEOs because such losses and expenses were a result of enterprise-level strategic decisions.

● Items excluded at the time incentive goals are established. When the CMDC sets incentive goals, it typically excludes the impact of certain items from the performance goals. For example, because as a matter of policy we generally do not hedge for currency exchange rate fluctuations, the CMDC sets incentive goals on a constant currency basis excluding the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations. Similarly, sales goals exclude the impact of fuel sales because fuel prices are volatile and subject to significant fluctuation, which is out of our management’s control. Sales goals also exclude Sam’s Club tobacco sales. For fiscal 2020, items excluded at the time incentive goals were established represented the majority of the difference between our reported sales and our sales as calculated for incentive plan purposes.

● Items excluded so that operating results are calculated on a comparative basis from year-to-year. Consistent with the terms of our incentive plans, the CMDC may exclude certain other items so that results can be calculated on a comparative basis from year-to-year. During fiscal 2020, these included, among others, the impact of store closures in Chile due to unrest. On a net basis, this category of adjustments did not have a significant impact on fiscal 2020 incentive results.

Impact of Excluded Items on Fiscal 2020 Performance for Incentive Plan Purposes

As described above and shown below, by a significant margin, the largest items excluded from our fiscal 2020 reported results of operations consisted of (i) items automatically excluded by the terms of our plans, such as the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, and restructurings; and (ii) items pre-determined to be excluded at the time incentive goals were set, such as the impact of currency exchange rate fluctuations on operating income and sales, and the impact of fuel sales and Sam’s Club tobacco sales on sales.

* Divisional sales may not sum up to Total Company sales due to rounding.

2020 ROI Adjustments for Long-Term Performance Equity Purposes. When calculating ROI for long-term performance equity purposes, we used the adjusted operating income shown in the table above in the row titled “Performance for Incentive Plan Purposes.” As a result of applying these adjustments, our ROI was 13.9% for purposes of our long-term performance share plan, compared to a reported ROI of 13.4%.

Doug McMillon President and CEO

Fiscal 2020 Highlights

In addition to the solid financial performance, during fiscal 2020 Mr. McMillon continued to accelerate Walmart’s transformation strategy to seamlessly integrate our retail stores and eCommerce in an omni-channel offering.

● We continued to deliver on our key strategic priorities and saw continued momentum in food and consumables at Walmart U.S., including eCommerce.

● We accelerated innovation in our business to make shopping faster and easier for our customers, with launching Delivery Unlimited from 1,600 locations in the U.S., expanding Same Day Pickup to nearly 3,200 locations, and launching free NextDay delivery from Walmart.com.

● We continued to make investments in our associates, bringing our average hourly total compensation and benefits to more than $18 in the U.S. and continuing to invest in training and education, which has led to reduced turnover and higher customer satisfaction.

Key Compensation Decisions for Fiscal 2020	Substantial Stock Ownership
The CMDC relies on the factors described on page 48 in establishing the target TDC of Mr. McMillon and our other NEOs. After considering those factors, the CMDC made no changes to Mr. McMillon’s target TDC for fiscal 2020. When compared to similar positions within our peer group companies, Mr. McMillon’s fiscal 2020 target TDC was at approximately the 75th percentile.	Mr. McMillon is significantly invested in Walmart common stock, owning Shares valued at approximately 112 times his annual base salary, well in excess of our stock ownership guidelines requirement of 7 times his annual base salary. We believe that Mr. McMillon’s significant interest in Walmart stock serves to align his interests with those of our shareholders.

Other Compensation Programs and Policies

What perquisites and other benefits do our NEOs receive?

Our NEOs receive a limited number of perquisites and supplemental benefits. We cover the cost of annual physical examinations for our NEOs and provide each NEO with personal use of our aircraft for a limited number of hours each year. Our NEOs also receive company-paid life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance. Additionally, our NEOs are entitled to benefits available to our officers generally, such as participation in the Deferred Compensation Matching Plan, and benefits available to associates generally, including a Walmart discount card, a limited 15 percent match of purchases of Shares through our Associate Stock Purchase Plan, participation in our 401(k) Plan, medical benefits, and foreign business travel insurance. We provide these perquisites and supplemental benefits to attract talented executives to our company and to retain our current executives, and we believe their limited cost is outweighed by the benefits to our company.

What types of retirement and other benefits are our NEOs eligible to receive?

Our NEOs are eligible for the same retirement benefits as our officers generally, such as participation in our Deferred Compensation Matching Plan. They may also take advantage of other benefits available more broadly to our associates, such as our 401(k) Plan. With the exception of Ms. McKenna, who has interests in pension plans related to her prior employment with our U.K. subsidiary, our NEOs do not participate in any pension or other defined benefit retirement plan. Ms. McKenna is not eligible to make any further contributions to this U.K. pension plan.

What are our practices for granting equity awards?

Timing of Equity Awards. The CMDC meets each January to approve and grant annual equity awards to our Executive Officers, including our NEOs, for the upcoming fiscal year. Because of the timing of these meetings, these equity grants are reported in the executive compensation tables appearing in this proxy statement as granted during the most recently completed fiscal year. The CMDC meets again in February or March to establish the performance goals applicable to the performance share units and any other performance-based equity granted at the January meeting.

Any special equity grants to Executive Officers during the year are approved by the CMDC at a meeting or by unanimous written consent.

Option Exercise Prices. We have not granted stock options to our Executive Officers since 2007, and stock options are not currently a part of our executive compensation program. If and when we grant stock options in the future, the exercise price will be equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.

Does the CMDC take tax consequences into account when setting executive compensation?

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally places a $1 million limit on the amount of compensation a company can deduct in any one year for certain executive officers. While the CMDC considers the deductibility of awards as one factor in determining executive compensation, the CMDC also looks at other factors in making its decisions and retains the flexibility to award compensation that it determines to be consistent with the goals of our executive compensation program even if the awards are not deductible by Walmart for tax purposes.

Historically, our annual cash incentive opportunities and performance-based equity awards granted to our Executive officers were designed in a manner intended to be exempt from the deduction limitation of Section 162(m) because they were paid based on the achievement of pre-determined performance goals established by the CMDC pursuant to our shareholder-approved incentive plans. Additionally, the CMDC had adopted a policy requiring our “covered employees” subject to Section 162(m) to defer annual restricted stock grants until after they separate from employment from Walmart, subject to certain exceptions.

Executive Compensation

Federal legislation signed into law on December 22, 2017, referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), repealed the exemption from Section 162(m)’s deduction limit for performance-based compensation, effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017. In addition, the Tax Act expanded the group of covered employees under Section 162(m) to include the chief financial officer and mandated that once an individual is treated as a covered employee for a given year, that individual will be treated as a covered employee for all subsequent years. Accordingly, any compensation paid to our covered Executive Officers in excess of $1 million in any one year, regardless of employment status, will not be deductible unless it qualifies for transition relief applicable to certain arrangements in place as of November 2, 2017.

Despite the CMDC’s efforts to structure incentive compensation in a manner intended to be exempt from Section 162(m) and therefore not subject to its deduction limits, because of ambiguities and uncertainties as to the application and interpretation of Section 162(m) as revised by the Tax Act, including the uncertain scope of the transition relief applicable to certain outstanding arrangements, no assurance can be given that compensation intended to satisfy the requirements for exemption from Section 162(m) will in fact be exempt. Further, the CMDC reserves the right to modify compensation that was initially intended to be exempt from Section 162(m) if it determines that such modifications are consistent with the objectives of our executive compensation program.

Do we have employment agreements with our NEOs?

We do not have employment agreements with any of our NEOs. Our NEOs are employed on an at-will basis.

Do we have severance agreements with our NEOs?

We have entered into a non-competition agreement with each NEO. As described in more detail under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” on page 77, these agreements provide that, if we terminate the NEO’s employment for any reason other than his or her violation of company policy, we will generally make limited severance payments to the NEO.

Under these agreements, each NEO has agreed that for a period of time following his or her termination of employment, he or she will not participate in a business that competes with us and will not solicit our associates for employment. For purposes of these agreements, a competing business generally means any retail, wholesale, or merchandising business that sells products of the type sold by Walmart with annual revenues in excess of certain thresholds.

These agreements reduce the risk that any of our former NEOs would use the skills and knowledge they gained while with us for the benefit of one of our competitors during a reasonable period of time after leaving our company. We do not have any contracts or other arrangements with our NEOs that provide for payments or other benefits upon a change in control of our company.

Does our compensation program contain any provisions addressing the recovery or non-payment of compensation in the event of misconduct?

Yes. Our MIP and our Stock Incentive Plan both provide that we will recoup awards to the extent required by Walmart policies. Furthermore, our MIP provides that, in order to be eligible to receive an incentive payment, the participant must have complied with our policies, including our Global Statement of Ethics, at all times. It further provides that if the CMDC determines, within twelve months following the payment of an incentive award, that prior to the payment of the award, a participant has violated any of our policies or otherwise committed acts detrimental to the best interests of our company, the participant must repay the incentive award upon demand. Similarly, our Stock Incentive Plan provides that if the CMDC determines that an associate has committed any act detrimental to the best interests of our company, he or she will forfeit all unexercised options and unvested equity awards. In addition, both the MIP and the Stock Incentive Plan provide that all awards under these plans, whether or not previously paid or deferred, will be subject to the company’s policies and applicable law regarding clawbacks in effect from time to time.

Furthermore, we will publicly disclose the circumstances of any recoupment from any executive officer to the extent the underlying event has already been publicly disclosed, and the disclosure would not violate applicable law, violate legal privilege, breach contractual obligations or be likely to result in or exacerbate litigation, investigation, or proceedings against Walmart.

Executive Compensation

Are our NEOs subject to any minimum requirements regarding ownership of our stock?

Yes. Our senior officers have been subject to stock ownership guidelines since 2003. In June 2013, our Board enhanced the stock ownership guidelines applicable to our CEO and senior officers, as follows:

● Our CEO must maintain beneficial ownership of unrestricted Shares having a market value equal to seven times his current annual base salary; and

● Our other NEOs and certain other senior officers must maintain beneficial ownership of unrestricted Shares having a market value equal to five times his or her current annual base salary.

The CEO and other senior officers must satisfy these stock ownership guidelines no later than the fifth anniversary of his or her appointment to a position covered by the stock ownership guidelines. If any covered officer is not in compliance with these stock ownership guidelines, he or she may not sell or otherwise dispose of more than 50 percent of any Shares that vest pursuant to any equity award until such time as he or she is in compliance with the guidelines and such sale would not cause the covered officer to cease to be in compliance with the guidelines. Further, as noted below, any pledged Shares would not be counted when determining whether the officer is in compliance with the guidelines. Currently, each of our NEOs is in compliance with our stock ownership guidelines.

Are there any restrictions on an NEO’s ability to engage in transactions involving Walmart stock?

Yes. Our Insider Trading Policy contains the following restrictions:

● Our directors and Executive Officers may trade in our stock only during open window periods, and then only after they have pre-cleared such transactions with our Office of the Corporate Secretary.

● Our directors and Executive Officers may not enter into trading plans pursuant to SEC Rule 10b5-1 without having such plans pre-approved by our Corporate Secretary.

● Our directors, Executive Officers, and associates may not, at any time, engage in hedging transactions (such as swaps, puts and calls, collars, and similar financial instruments) that would eliminate or limit the risks and rewards of Walmart stock ownership.

● Our directors and Executive Officers may not at any time engage in any short selling, buy or sell options, puts or calls, whether exchange-traded or otherwise, or engage in any other transaction in derivative securities that reflects speculation about the price of our stock or that may place their financial interests against the financial interests of our company.

● Our directors and Executive Officers are prohibited from using Walmart stock as collateral for any margin loan.

● Before using Walmart stock as collateral for any other borrowing, our directors and Executive Officers must satisfy the following requirements:

● The pledging arrangement must be pre-approved by Walmart’s Corporate Secretary; and

● Any Walmart Shares pledged will not be counted when determining whether the director or Executive Officer is in compliance with our stock ownership guidelines.

Currently, none of our directors or Executive Officers has any pledging arrangements in place involving Walmart stock.

Executive Compensation

Risk Considerations in our Compensation Program

The CMDC, pursuant to its charter, is responsible for reviewing and overseeing the compensation and benefits structure applicable to our associates generally, including any risks that may arise from our compensation program. We do not believe that our compensation policies and practices for our associates give rise to risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our company. In reaching this conclusion, we considered the following factors:

● Our compensation program is designed to provide a mix of both fixed and variable incentive compensation.

● Our performance-based compensation is balanced between an annual incentive and a long-term incentive program. We believe this design mitigates any incentive for short-term risk-taking that could be detrimental to our company’s long-term best interests.

● Our incentive compensation programs reward performance based on a mix of operating income-based metrics, sales-based metrics, and return on investment. We believe that this mix of performance metrics mitigates any incentive to seek to maximize performance under one metric to the detriment of performance under other metrics. For example, our long-term performance share plan is based equally on sales and ROI performance. We believe that this structure mitigates any incentive to pursue strategies that would increase our sales at the detriment of ROI performance. The CMDC regularly reviews the mix and weightings of the performance metrics used in our incentive compensation programs and has concluded that they are aligned with our strategy and provide appropriate incentives to encourage sustainable shareholder value creation.

● Maximum payouts under both our annual cash incentive plan and our performance share program are capped at 125% and 150% of target payouts, respectively. We believe that these limits mitigate excessive risk-taking, since the maximum amount that can be earned in a single cycle is limited.

● A significant percentage of our management’s incentive compensation is based on the performance of our total company. This is designed to mitigate any incentive to pursue strategies that might maximize the performance of a single operating segment or area of responsibility to the detriment of our company as a whole.

● Our senior executives are subject to robust stock ownership guidelines, which we believe motivate our executives to consider the long-term interests of our company and our shareholders and discourage excessive risk-taking that could negatively impact our stock price.

● Our performance-based incentive compensation programs are designed with payout curves that are relatively smooth and do not contain steep payout “cliffs” that might encourage short-term business decisions in order to meet a payout threshold.

● Our Executive Officers’ cash incentive payments are subject to reduction or elimination if compliance objectives are not satisfied.

Finally, our cash incentive plan and our Stock Incentive Plan both contain robust “clawback” provisions under which awards may be recouped or forfeited if an associate has not complied with our policies, including our Global Statement of Ethics, or has committed acts detrimental to the best interests of our company.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the directors who served on the CMDC at any time during fiscal 2020 were officers or associates of Walmart or were former officers or associates of Walmart. Further, none of the members who served on the CMDC or the predecessor committee at any time during fiscal 2020 had any relationship with our company requiring disclosure under the section of this proxy statement entitled “Fiscal 2020 Review of Related Person Transactions.” Finally, no Executive Officer serves, or in the past fiscal year has served, as a director of, or as a member of the compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions) of, any entity that has one or more of its executive officers serving as a director of Walmart or as a member of the CMDC or the predecessor committee.

Explanation of information in the columns of the table:

Name and Principal Position and Fiscal Year ended Jan. 31 (columns (a) and (b))
Ms. McKenna was an NEO for the first time in fiscal 2019. Accordingly, only information relating to her fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2020 compensation is included. Mr. Kumar and Ms. McLay were NEOs for the first time in fiscal 2020. Accordingly, only information relating to their fiscal 2020 compensation is included.

Salary (column (c))
Represents salaries earned during the fiscal years shown. Mr. McMillon, Mr. Biggs, Ms. McLay, and Mr. Furner elected to defer $135,000, $675,000, $12,420, and $40,500 of their fiscal 2020 base salaries, respectively, under the Deferred Compensation Matching Plan.

Bonus (column (d))
Represents a sign-on bonus paid to Mr. Kumar at the time of his hire.

Stock Awards (column (e))
In accordance with SEC rules, the amounts included in this column are the grant date fair value for awards granted in the fiscal years shown, computed in accordance with the stock-based compensation accounting rules that are a part of GAAP (as set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718), but excluding the effect of any estimated forfeitures of such awards. The values in this column reflect the full grant date fair value of all equity awards granted during the year, although the awards are subject to vesting periods based on continued employment.

The number of performance-based restricted stock units that vest, if any, depends on whether we achieve certain levels of performance with respect to certain performance measures. The grant date fair values of the performance-based restricted stock units included in this column are based on payouts at target, which we have determined, in accordance with the stock-based compensation accounting rules, to be the probable levels of achievement of the performance goals related to those

awards. The table below shows the grant date fair value of the performance-based restricted stock units granted to each NEO during fiscal 2020, assuming that: (i) our performance with respect to those performance measures will be at target levels (i.e., probable performance); and (ii) our performance with respect to those performance measures will be at levels that would result in a maximum payout. The grant date fair value of each performance-based restricted stock unit was determined based on the closing price of a Share on the NYSE on the grant date discounted for the expected dividend yield for such Shares during the vesting period:

Name	Fiscal Year of Grant	Grant Date Fair Value (Probable Performance) ($)	Grant Date Fair Value (Maximum Performance) ($)
C. Douglas McMillon	2020	11,867,488	17,801,232
M. Brett Biggs	2020	4,312,870	6,469, 359
Suresh Kumar	2020	33,703,348	48,577,802

John Furner	2020	5,112,594	7,668,892

Option Awards (column (f))
We have omitted this column because we did not grant any option awards to NEOs during fiscal 2020, and stock options are not currently part of our executive compensation program.

Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation (column (g))
These amounts represent annual cash incentive payments earned by our NEOs for performance during fiscal 2020, fiscal 2019, and fiscal 2018, respectively, but paid to our NEOs during the following fiscal year. Certain of our NEOs elected to defer a portion of their annual cash incentive payment for fiscal 2020, as follows:

Name	Amount of Fiscal 2020 Annual Cash Incentive Deferred ($)
C. Douglas McMillon	879,204
M. Brett Biggs	787,855
Judith McKenna	1,805,287
John Furner	1,444,678

Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings (column (h))
The amounts shown in this column represent above-market interest credited on deferred compensation under our company’s nonqualified deferred compensation plans, as calculated pursuant to Item 402(c)(2)(viii)(B) of SEC Regulation S-K. In addition, Ms. McKenna participates in pension plans administered by ASDA Group Limited (“ASDA”), the company’s U.K. subsidiary. During fiscal 2020, the actuarial present value of Ms. McKenna’s accumulated benefit in these plans increased by $1,471,555 (converted from British Pounds using an average exchange rate during fiscal 2020 of 1 GBP = 1.2783 USD). This increase in actuarial present value was primarily due to a change in the funding of one of these pension plans through the purchase by ASDA of a bulk annuity contract for the benefit of all participants. Ms. McKenna’s defined benefits under these pension plans did not change. These pension plans were closed to further accruals in 2011, but participants’ accrued pension balances are adjusted for inflation until they begin to receive distributions from the plan. See the Pension Benefits table on page 73 for more information.

All Other Compensation (column (i))
“All other compensation” for fiscal 2020 includes the following amounts:

Name	401(k) Plan Matching Contributions ($)	Personal Use of Company Aircraft ($)	Company Contributions to Deferred Compensation Plans ($)
C. Douglas McMillon	16,800	86,708	301,805

Executive Compensation Tables

The value shown for personal use of Walmart aircraft is the incremental cost to our company of such use, which is calculated based on the variable operating costs to our company per hour of operation, which include fuel costs, maintenance, and associated travel costs for the crew. Fixed costs that do not change based on usage, such as pilot salaries, depreciation, insurance, and rent, are not included.

“All other compensation” for fiscal 2020 also includes $10,856 in tax gross-ups and $10,933 in tax preparation services for Mr. Furner, and $11,046 in tax gross-ups for Ms. McKenna, primarily related to their prior expatriate assignments. The amounts in this column for fiscal 2020 also include tax gross-up payments for certain of our other NEOs in amounts less than $10,000. The amounts in this column for fiscal 2020 also include the cost of term life insurance premiums and physical examinations for certain of our NEOs. The values of these personal benefits are based on the incremental aggregate cost to our company and are not individually quantified because none of them individually exceed the threshold set forth in Instruction 4 to Item 402(c)(2)(ix) of Regulation S-K.

The amounts in these columns represent the threshold, target, and maximum amounts of potential annual cash incentive payments that may be earned by our NEOs under the Management Incentive Plan for performance during fiscal 2021. The performance measures and weightings applicable to these awards for each of our NEOs are as follows:

Name	Weighting
C. Douglas McMillon	75% Total Company Operating Income	25% Total Company Sales
M. Brett Biggs	75% Total Company Operating Income	25% Total Company Sales
Suresh Kumar	75% Total Company Operating Income	25% Total Company Sales

	50% Walmart U.S. Operating Income

The CD&A provides additional information regarding our annual cash incentive plan.

Estimated Future Payouts Under Equity Incentive Plan Awards (columns (f), (g), and (h))
The amounts in these columns represent the threshold, target, and maximum number of Shares that may vest with respect to performance-based restricted stock units granted during fiscal 2020. Holders of performance-based restricted stock units do not earn dividends or enjoy other rights of shareholders until such performance-based restricted stock units have vested.

The CD&A provides additional information regarding our performance equity program and the related performance measures. For these grants made in fiscal 2020 related to performance in fiscal 2021, the applicable performance measures are: (i) return on investment; and (ii) sales growth of our company or one of its operating segments, depending on each NEO’s primary area of responsibility. Each NEO’s performance measure weighting for fiscal 2021 is as follows:

Name	Weighting
C. Douglas McMillon	50% Total Company Return on Investment	50% Total Company Sales
M. Brett Biggs	50% Total Company Return on Investment	50% Total Company Sales
Suresh Kumar	50% Total Company Return on Investment	50% Total Company Sales
Judith McKenna	50% Total Company Return on Investment	50% International Sales
Kathryn McLay	50% Total Company Return on Investment	50% Sam’s Club Sales
John Furner	50% Total Company Return on Investment	50% Walmart U.S. Sales

All Other Stock Awards: Number of Shares of Stock or Units (column (i))
The amounts in this column represent Shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units granted during fiscal 2020. Restricted stock and restricted stock units vest based on the continued service of the NEO as an associate through the vesting date.

All Other Option Awards: Number of Securities Underlying Options and Exercise or Base Price of Option Awards (columns (j) and (k))
These columns are omitted because options are not currently part of our executive compensation program and Walmart did not grant options to NEOs during fiscal 2020.

Grant Date Fair Value of Stock and Option Awards (column (l))
Fair values of equity awards are computed in accordance with the stock-based compensation accounting rules, and exclude the effect of any estimated forfeitures. The grant date fair values of restricted stock is calculated based on the closing stock price of a Share on the NYSE as of the grant date, and performance-based restricted stock units are based on the probable outcome of those awards on the date of grant. The fair values of performance-based restricted stock units and restricted stock units are discounted for the expected dividend yield during the vesting period. The grant date fair value of the equity awards awarded on January 13, 2020 was determined based on a per-share amount of $115.88, which was the closing price of a Share on the NYSE on that date. Performance-based restricted stock units granted on January 13, 2020 with a vesting period ending January 31, 2023 were valued using a discounted per-share value of $109.60. Grants of performance-based restricted stock units on April 9, 2019 with a vesting date of January 31, 2022 were reported using a discounted per-share value of $92.49. Grants of performance-based restricted stock units on July 9, 2019 with a vesting period ending January 31, 2020 were reported using a discounted per-share value of $110.80.

Executive Compensation Tables

In connection with her former employment with ASDA Group Limited, the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary that operates in the United Kingdom (“ASDA”), Ms. McKenna is a participant in the ASDA Group Pension Scheme, the pension plan for colleagues of ASDA. The plan provides for an annual pension, payable for life, based on the participant’s years of participation in the plan and salary at the date of retirement from ASDA. Pension benefits are generally payable beginning at age 60, but a participant may receive payments beginning at age 55, subject to a reduction in the pension amount. Both before and after payment commences, the pension amount increases in line with inflation, subject to an annual limitation. On death, either before or after payment commences, the plan provides for payment of spouse’s and dependents’ pensions. Ms. McKenna’s balance in this plan was partially funded by her own contributions to the plan and partially funded by ASDA. The ASDA Group Pension Scheme was frozen to new accruals in February 2011.

Also in connection with her former employment with ASDA, Ms. McKenna participates in the ASDA Unfunded Unapproved Retirement Benefits Scheme, a non-tax qualified pension plan which commenced in January 2000 and was open to ASDA colleagues with salary in excess of the salary cap that applied in the ASDA Group Pension Scheme. The ASDA Unfunded Unapproved Retirement Benefits Scheme provides benefits using the same accrual formula as the ASDA Group Pension Scheme, but benefits are limited according to a salary cap based on seniority. Ms. McKenna did not contribute to this plan, and her plan balance will be funded by ASDA. The ASDA Unfunded Unapproved Retirement Benefits Scheme was frozen to new accruals in February 2011.

The table above reflects the present value of benefits accrued by Ms. McKenna from the ASDA Group Pension Scheme and the ASDA Unfunded Unapproved Retirement Benefits Scheme. The amounts were computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP assuming a retirement age of 60 (the earliest age at which Ms. McKenna could retire without any benefit reduction due to age). For the ASDA Unfunded Unapproved Retirement Benefits Scheme a discount rate of 2.1% per year and an inflation rate 2.9% per year have been assumed. The value of Ms. McKenna’s benefits in the ASDA Group Pension Scheme has increased to reflect the estimated cost of providing her benefits via a bulk annuity contract purchased by ASDA for the benefit of the ASDA Group Pension Scheme participants.
