Walmart Commits $1 million in Response to Chile Earthquake

Funds to support emergency relief efforts throughout the country.

BENTONVILLE, Ark., Feb. 27, 2010 – In response to the tragic earthquake in Chile, Walmart
(NYSE: WMT) today announced an initial commitment of $1 million to go toward emergency relief
efforts throughout the country.

An earthquake of magnitude 8.8 struck early Saturday morning, resulting in heavy damage
throughout central Chile, including the capital city of Santiago.

“With the impact of this earthquake on our own communities, customers, associates and
suppliers, we wanted to reach out with assistance as soon as possible,” said Eduardo
Solórzano, president and CEO of Walmart Latin America, and vice chairman of D&S,
Walmart’s retail operation in Chile. “Our operations in Chile are actively engaged in providing
assistance on the ground, and we’re continuing to monitor the situation and look for
additional ways that we can help with relief efforts.”

Walmart acquired D&S, Chile’s leading food retailer, in January 2009. D&S currently has
more than 34,000 associates and operates 255 stores throughout the country.

“Giving back to our communities, especially in a time of need, is part of our culture at
Walmart,” said Doug McMillon, president and CEO of Walmart International. “A crisis only
reinforces that commitment, and our thoughts are with those affected by this disaster.”
Walmart has long been recognized as a corporate leader around the globe in the area of
disaster relief. Most recently, Walmart supported earthquake relief efforts in Haiti, with cash
and in-kind donations currently at more than $1 million. In addition, Walmart associates and
customers globally have contributed more than $3 million to date for that relief effort.
