BENTONVILLE, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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.

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.
