- As a shareholder, why is it important that I keep my company stock account information (including address) current?
It is important that you keep your account address up to date and vote your proxy. Certain states will consider your account as “abandoned” if you fail to have communication with Walmart (via our transfer agent; Computershare). Abandoned accounts may result in your shares and/or un-cashed dividends being remitted to your state of residence as unclaimed property under the escheatment guidelines of each state. Once remitted to the state, reclaiming your escheated stock and/or un-cashed dividends can be a cumbersome and lengthy process. So, we encourage you to keep your account information current. If you have questions regarding your account, please contact Computershare by calling (800) 438-6278 or visit www.computershare.com/walmart.
