Related Person Transaction Review Policy“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 before entering into any Covered Transaction. Walmart’s Office of the Corporate Secretary and Chief Audit Executive review each Covered Transaction and consult as necessary with the Global Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer, the Executive Vice President of Corporate Affairs, and other appropriate Walmart personnel.

Fiscal 2025 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, director nominees, Executive Officers, principal shareholders, or immediate family members of any such persons (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. When reviewing a related person transaction, the Audit Committee considers the following factors:”

“As previously disclosed, on April 5, 2022, Walmart entered into an agreement with ABN Holdings, LLC ("ABN Holdings") for the sale of Walmart’s then existing Home Office properties and nearby parcels of land for a total of approximately $60 million. Steuart Walton, a director of Walmart, and his brother indirectly own 100% of the equity interests in ABN Holdings. Under the terms of the property sale agreement, the closing for certain parcels of land (the “Initial Properties”) occurred in fiscal 2023 (the “Fiscal 2023 Closing”) and the closings on the remaining properties (the “Remainder Properties”) was expected to occur when the company moved into its new Home Office Facilities (the “Deferred Closing”). The purchase price of approximately $9 million for the Initial Properties was determined based upon third-party appraisals. The appraised value for the Remainder Properties at the time of the signing of the property sale agreement was approximately $51 million. An escrow deposit of approximately $2.5 million was made in fiscal 2023 in respect of the Remainder Properties. In fiscal 2026, the closing of certain parcels of the Remainder Properties occurred (the “Fiscal 2026 Closing”) and the closing for the remaining Remainder Properties is expected to occur in fiscal 2027 (the “Fiscal 2027 Closing”). The sale price for the properties sold in fiscal 2026 of $19.9 million was based on the appraised value of those Remainder Properties determined by third-party appraisals at the date of the Fiscal 2026 Closing. The sale price for the properties expected to be sold in fiscal 2027 will be based on the appraised value of those properties determined by third-party appraisals at the date of the Fiscal 2027 Closing. The sale of the Initial Properties at the Fiscal 2023 Closing and the Fiscal 2026 Closing resulted in a gain on the sale to Walmart on a net basis and Walmart expects the sale of the Remainder Properties at the Fiscal 2027 Closing to result in a gain on the sale to Walmart on a net basis at the time of that closing.”

Other Transactions“In any given year, we may engage in certain transactions with entities in which members of the Walton family have ownership interests. These transactions are typically immaterial, ordinary-course transactions that management believes do not constitute related person transactions. Although Audit Committee approval of certain of these transactions may not be required under the Transaction Review Policy, the Audit Committee may elect to review such transactions from a governance perspective.”
