Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

Earlier today, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio issued its abatement ruling in a single, two county trial involving opioids in the multidistrict litigation. The order provided for injunctive and abatement relief to the two counties, with the abatement relief from the ruling on a joint and several liability basis being approximately $651 million in the aggregate to be paid over 15 years from all of the pharmacy defendants in the litigation (the "Abatement Amount"), including Walmart Inc. (the "Company"). The court also ordered the pharmacy defendants to pay immediately into an abatement fund approximately $87 million of the total Abatement Amount, reflecting the first two years of abatement. The Company plans to appeal the liability and abatement rulings in this litigation matter. The Company issued a Corporate Statement regarding the abatement ruling and this litigation matter. A copy of the Corporate Statement issued by the Company in response to the ruling is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Current Report, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise be subject to the liability of that section and shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing or document.
