As previously announced, on January 30, 2024, the Board of Directors of Walmart Inc. (the “Company”) authorized a 3-for-1 forward split (the “Stock Split”) of its common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Common Stock”), to be effected through the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”). The Company filed the Certificate of Amendment after the close of trading on February 23, 2024, and it became effective upon acceptance of the filing by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”). The Certificate of Amendment effected the Stock Split and also proportionately increased the number of shares of authorized Common Stock from 11,000,000,000 to 33,000,000,000. Each holder of record of Common Stock as of the close of business on February 22, 2024 is expected receive two additional shares of Common Stock after the close of trading on February 23, 2024. The $0.10 par value per share remains unchanged. Trading in the Common Stock is expected to commence on a split-adjusted basis on February 26, 2024. Based on 2,684,264,089 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of February 22, 2024, the Company calculates that there will be approximately 8,052,792,267 shares of Common Stock outstanding on February 23, 2024, after giving effect to the Stock Split, less any nominal amount of shares that may be repurchased on such date.
