Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (the "Company") and Barclays Capital Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., BBVA Securities Inc., Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC and the other several underwriters named in Schedule I to the Pricing Agreement (as defined below) (the "Underwriters"), have entered into a Pricing Agreement, dated May 14, 2009 (the "Pricing Agreement"), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth therein, the Company has agreed to sell to the Underwriters, and the Underwriters have agreed to purchase from the Company, $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company's 3.20% Notes Due 2014 (the "Notes"). The Pricing Agreement incorporates by reference the terms and conditions of an Underwriting Agreement, dated May 14, 2009 (the "Underwriting Agreement"), between the Company, and as to the issuance and sale of the Notes, the Underwriters.

The Company and the Underwriters expect to consummate the sale and purchase of the Notes pursuant to the Pricing Agreement on May 21, 2009. The Notes will be sold to the public at an issue price of 99.987% of the aggregate principal amount thereof ($999,870,000 in proceeds before underwriting commissions and transaction expenses). The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Notes, after the underwriting discount, but before transaction expenses of the sale of the Notes, will be $996,370,000.

The Notes will constitute part of the Company's newly created series of 3.20% Notes Due 2014 (the "2014 Series"). The Notes will be senior unsecured debt securities of the Company and will rank equally with all of the other senior, unsecured debt obligations of the Company. The 2014 Series was created and established, and its terms and conditions were established, by action of the Company and an authorized officer of the Company pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Indenture, dated as of July 19, 2005, as supplemented (the "Indenture"), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"). The terms of the Notes are as set forth in the Indenture and in the form of the Global Notes (referred to below) that will represent the Notes.

The material terms of the Notes are described in the prospectus supplement of the Company dated May 14, 2009, which relates to the offer and sale of the Notes (the "Prospectus Supplement"), and the Company's prospectus dated January 14, 2009, which prospectus relates to the offer and sale from time to time of an indeterminate amount of the Company's debt securities (the "Prospectus"). The Prospectus Supplement, together with the Prospectus, was filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on May 18, 2009 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in connection with the offer and sale of the Notes. A Final Term Sheet, dated May 14, 2009, relating to the Notes was filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433 under the Securities Act on May 14, 2009.

The Notes will be delivered in book-entry form only. The 2014 Notes will be represented by two global notes, each in the principal amount of $500,000,000 (the "Global Notes"). Each Global Note will be payable to Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company.
