WALMART CANADA STATEMENT

NEW STORE MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE

We have implemented a new management structure in our stores that will enable us to
provide improved service to our customers and enhanced career opportunities for our
associates.
We tested this new management structure in select stores across Canada over the past
six months and have received positive feedback from both our customers and
associates. The new management structure makes more of our associates available
during peak shopping periods when our customers need us the most, and gives our
associates greater access to their managers for their ongoing career development.
As a result of the new management structure, approximately 1,!! associates have
been promoted to more senior positions, approximately "!! new store management
roles have been added, and approximately #$! roles have been eliminated. Associates
whose roles have been eliminated will receive severance packages, professional career
services and support, or can apply for other positions at Walmart.
The role eliminations make up less than 1% of our Canadian workforce and average out
to less than two positions per store. &verall Walmart Canada is a growth company and
is generating many new 'obs as we expand our store network and our food and e(
commerce businesses. We will create #,$!! new 'obs in Canada this year alone
including trade and construction 'obs.
