Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On November 10, 2022, in connection with the new Securities and Exchange Commission rules regarding universal proxy cards, certain recent changes to the Delaware General Corporation Law and a periodic review of the bylaws of Walmart Inc. (the “Company”), the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company adopted and approved amended and restated bylaws (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”), effective immediately. Among other things, the amendments effected by the Amended and Restated Bylaws:

Enhance procedural mechanics and disclosure requirements in connection with shareholder nominations of directors made in connection with annual and special meetings of shareholders by, including, without limitation:

Adding a requirement that any shareholder submitting a nomination notice make a representation as to whether such shareholder intends to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees in accordance with Rule 14a-19 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”);

Clarifying that, unless required by applicable law, if, after such shareholder provides notice pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act and subsequently fails either to comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(2) or (3) under the Exchange Act or to provide documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such shareholder has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act (upon request by the Company), then such nomination will be disregarded and no vote on such nominee proposed by such shareholder will occur;

Providing that the number of nominees proposed by shareholders submitting a nomination notice may not exceed the number of directors to be elected at the relevant meeting of shareholders;

Requiring additional disclosures from nominating shareholders or proposing persons, proposed nominees and, if the nominating or proposing shareholder is not a natural person, the natural person(s) associated with such shareholder responsible for the decision to propose the business or nomination; and

Requiring that proposed nominees make themselves available for and submit to interviews by the Board or any Board committee within ten (10) days following the date of any reasonable request therefor from the Board or any Board committee.

Modify the provisions relating to availability of lists of shareholders entitled to vote at shareholder meetings, in each case, to reflect recent amendments to the Delaware General Corporation Law;

Clarify the date as of which the determination is made as to whether an election is “contested” or “uncontested” for purposes of Section 1 of Article III; and

Make various other updates, including technical, ministerial and conforming changes related to recent amendments in the Delaware General Corporation Law.

The foregoing summary of the amendments effected by the Amended and Restated Bylaws does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws, which are filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
