Item 8.01. Other Events.
On February 28, 2024, Walmart Inc. (the “Company”) was informed that John Furner, Executive Vice President,
President and Chief Executive Officer, Walmart U.S., entered into a stock trading plan designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Plan”). Rule 10b5-1 permits officers and directors of public
companies, who routinely become aware of material nonpublic information and therefore are unable to sell company securities
until the information has been made public, to plan in advance for their liquidity or other needs by adopting, at a time when
they are not in possession of material non-public information, a written plan providing for securities transactions to occur over
specified future periods of time under specified conditions. Once an individual has entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, the
individual has no discretion or control over whether or when transactions in Company securities will occur pursuant to the Plan.
Mr. Furner’s Plan provides for sales of Company securities as part of his long-term asset diversification, tax, and
financial planning strategy and is in accordance with the Company’s Insider Trading Policy. Under the terms of the Plan, Mr.
Furner will sell 13,125 shares of the Company’s common stock on a specified date each month beginning on May 31, 2024, and
continuing through February 27, 2025. Accordingly, the maximum number of shares to be sold under the Plan is 131,250. Mr.
Furner’s existing Rule 10b5-1 plan, which was entered into on March 6, 2023 (the “Old Plan”) expires when the last trade
under the Old Plan is executed in March 2024.
Mr. Furner continues to be subject to the Company’s stock ownership guidelines, under which he is required to hold
Company stock equal in value to at least five times his base salary. Upon the conclusion of each monthly sale transaction under
the Plan, Mr. Furner will continue to satisfy the requirements of the Company’s stock ownership guidelines.
Any transactions under the Plan will be disclosed publicly through Form 144 and Form 4 filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission to the extent required by law.
