(e) As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 25, 2013, on November 19, 2013, C. Douglas McMillon was appointed as President and Chief Executive Officer of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (the “Company”), effective February 1, 2014. On January 24, 2014, the Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “CNGC”) approved the terms of Mr. McMillon’s compensation for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2015 (“fiscal 2015”). Mr. McMillon will receive an annual base salary of $1,200,000, subject to annual adjustment. Mr. McMillon will also continue to be eligible for an annual cash incentive under the Company's Management Incentive Plan (the "MIP"), based on performance criteria to be established by the CNGC. For fiscal 2015, Mr. McMillon’s target cash incentive payment under the MIP will be 320% of his base salary, with a maximum possible payout of 400% of his base salary.

Mr. McMillon will also continue to be eligible to receive an annual equity award, generally consisting of a combination of restricted stock and performance share units. As part of Mr. McMillon’s annual equity award, on January 24, 2014, the CNGC approved an annual award of 48,710 restricted shares of Company common stock, par value $0.10 per share ("Common Stock"), which will vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant, provided that Mr. McMillon continues to be employed by the Company through that vesting date. Also on January 24, 2014, as part of Mr. McMillon’s annual equity award, the CNGC approved an award of 146,130 performance share units, which provide the right to receive shares of Common Stock if certain performance goals to be established by the CNGC are achieved over a three-year performance period, provided also that Mr. McMillon remains employed by the Company over this three-year period. On January 24, 2014, Mr. McMillon also received two additional awards of performance share units in connection with his promotion. The first additional award of performance share units consisted of 60,486 performance share units and will vest on January 31, 2015, assuming certain performance goals to be established by the CNGC are achieved. The second additional award of performance share units consisted of 70,427 performance share units and will vest on January 31, 2016, assuming certain performance goals to be established by the CNGC are achieved.
