EXPLANATORY NOTE
Walmart Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company" or the "Registrant") hereby amends the registration statements identified on the cover page of this Post-Effective Amendment to reflect that at the Company's 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on June 5, 2025, stockholders approved the Walmart Inc. Stock Incentive Plan of 2025 (the "2025 Plan"). The 2025 Plan amended, restated, and renamed the Walmart Inc. Stock Incentive Plan of 2015 (the "2015 Plan"), which itself amended, restated, and renamed the Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan of 2010, which itself amended, restated, and renamed the Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan of 2005, which itself amended, restated, and renamed the Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan of 1998 (collectively with the 2025 Plan, the "Plan").
Pursuant to the terms of the 2025 Plan, the number of shares of the Company's common stock ("Common Stock") reserved for delivery under the 2025 Plan is equal to the sum of (a) 135,500,000 shares plus (b) the number of shares remaining available for the grant of new awards under the 2015 Plan (i.e., not subject to outstanding awards) as of June 5, 2025, in each case, subject to adjustment for stock splits, the effects of corporate transactions, and other capitalization events or other events affecting the Shares (clause (b), the "Rollover Shares").
On December 4, 2023, the Company filed a Registration Statement (File No. 333-275879) in accordance with General Instruction E of Form S-8 to register the offer and sale of up to 90,000,000 shares of Common Stock (after giving effect to a 3-for-1 stock split) under the 2015 Plan. The Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment pursuant to Item 512 of Regulation S-K, and, to the extent applicable, the Securities Act Forms Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 126.43, to amend the Registration Statement (File No. 333-275879) to register the offer and sale of up to 71,956,716 Rollover Shares under the 2025 Plan. No additional securities are being registered by this Post-Effective Amendment. The Registrant is concurrently filing a separate registration statement on Form S-8 to register additional shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2025 Plan that are not Rollover Shares.
