Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On January 30, 2024, Walmart Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the Company’s Board of Directors has 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 an amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amendment”). The Amendment will also effect a proportionate increase in the number of shares of authorized Common Stock, and will become effective upon its filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. As a result of the Stock Split, each holder of record of Common Stock as of the close of business on February 22, 2024 will receive two additional shares of Common Stock, to be distributed after the close of trading on February 23, 2024. Trading in the Common Stock is expected to commence on a split-adjusted basis on February 26, 2024. The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
