Walmart Inc. Amends Certificate of Incorporation to Limit Officer Liability
On June 4, 2026, Walmart Inc. held its Annual Shareholders' Meeting where shareholders approved an amendment to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation to limit the liability of certain officers to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law. The amendment reflects updated Delaware law provisions permitting officer exculpation. The amendment became effective upon filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on the same day. Additionally, shareholders elected all nominated directors, ratified the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm, and approved the compensation of named executive officers. Several shareholder proposals, including requests for cumulative voting and reports on various topics, were rejected.
