Formal Business Meeting for Shareholders on
June 2 to be Held Virtually Given the Ongoing COVID-19
Pandemic
Walmart Inc. (NYSE: WMT) today announced that its Annual
Shareholders’ Meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 2, 2021. Due
to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, the meeting will be held in a
virtual-only format and will begin at 10:30 a.m. CDT. While
shareholders will be able to attend the meeting online through a
live audio webcast, there will not be a physical location for the
annual meeting.
The meeting will focus on shareholder voting on formal business
and proxy proposals. Shareholders may vote their shares
electronically, online, by mail or by phone prior to the formal
business meeting on June 2. Shareholders entitled to vote at the
meeting may also vote their shares online during the meeting.
The record date for shareholders entitled to vote at the virtual
meeting is Friday, April 9, 2021. The company’s proxy statement
that will be filed in April will include details confirming how
shares may be voted before or during the meeting on June 2, as well
as how to access it as a shareholder. The public will also be able
to listen to the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, without the option
to vote, through a link on the company’s website.
As a result of the pandemic, the company will not be hosting its
customary Associate Celebration at Bud Walton Arena in
Fayetteville, Ark., which has traditionally welcomed 5,000
associates from around the world. Last year, the company held a
virtual celebration for associates, and it is planning a similar
Associate Celebration on Friday, June 4, with entertainment and
messages from senior leadership.
