Common Share</b></font></p>
<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">Basic net income per common
share attributable to Walmart is based on the weighted-average
number of outstanding common shares. Diluted net income per common
share attributable to Walmart is based on the weighted-average
number of outstanding common shares adjusted for the dilutive
effect of stock options and other share-based awards. The dilutive
effect of stock options and other share-based awards was
11 million, 12 million and 6 million shares in
fiscal 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The company had
approximately 5 million, 6 million and 62 million
option shares outstanding at January 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008,
respectively, which were not included in the diluted net income per
share calculation because their effect would be
antidilutive.</font></p>
