Wal-Mart Issues 2009 Annual Report to Shareholders

BENTONVILLE, Ark., April 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
(NYSE: WMT) today issued its 2009 Annual Report to Shareholders, an executive
summary of its 2009 Global Sustainability Report, and its 2009 annual proxy
statement, announcing the company's annual shareholders' meeting to be held at
7 a.m. on June 5 at Bud Walton Arena on the campus of the University of
Arkansas in Fayetteville. Shareholders must be owners of record of Wal-Mart
common stock as of the close of business on April 9, 2009 to vote at the 2009
annual shareholders' meeting.

"Wal-Mart's performance last year would be considered strong at any time and
for any retailer, and certainly during one of the most difficult global
economies in decades," wrote Mike Duke, in his first letter to shareholders
since becoming president and chief executive officer Feb. 1.

"Our U.S. stores are delivering faster checkouts, a friendlier shopping
experience and cleaner presentations," he continued. "We are on the move
internationally and today have more stores in more markets. People who have
never shopped with us previously are now loyal customers. Sam's continues to
show the distinct value of club membership."

Wal-Mart created 33,000 jobs in the United States last year, in addition to
thousands more in markets outside the country.

"These good jobs offer competitive wages and benefits and the opportunity to
advance," he wrote. "We plan to create tens of thousands of jobs again this
year."

Duke reiterated Wal-Mart's commitment to environmental sustainability, which
he called a permanent part of the company's culture, helping Wal-Mart reduce
waste, lower costs and provide savings to customers.

"There will be no part of this Company anywhere in the world that does not
contribute to making Wal-Mart more sustainable," he wrote.

In fact, Wal-Mart reduced the number of annual reports printed from more than
2.3 million last year to approximately 1.1 million this year by inviting
shareholders to receive the report electronically. This reduced the company's
requirement for paper, ink and fuel needed to ship the reports.

Wal-Mart also issued an executive summary of its 2009 Global Sustainability
Report, highlighting the company's economic, environmental and social
performance. The full report will be available online by the end of July.

Separately today, the company also announced that Wal-Mart board member and
former President and Chief Executive Officer David Glass will retire from the
board on June 5. Glass joined Wal-Mart in 1976, later succeeding the company's
founder Sam Walton as president and CEO, serving in that role from 1988 until
retiring in 2000. Glass has been a member of Wal-Mart's board since 1977.
