SUPPLEMENT TO PROXY STATEMENT DATED APRIL 15, 2002

As a result of a printing error, the Stock Performance Chart on page 14 of the Proxy Statement incorrectly labels the line showing the performance of the S&P 500 Index as the performance of the "S&P Retail Stores Composite" and the line showing the performance of the S&P Retailing Index as the performance of the "S&P 500." We have reprinted the corrected Stock Performance Chart section of the Proxy Statement below in its entirety. The below information supersedes and replaces the Stock Performance Chart section of the Proxy Statement.

STOCK PERFORMANCE CHART

This graph shows Wal-Mart’s cumulative total shareholder return during the last five fiscal years ended January 31, 2002. The graph also shows the cumulative total returns of the S&P 500 Index and the S&P Retailing Index. The comparison assumes $100 was invested on January 31, 1997, in Wal-Mart stock and in each of the indices shown and assumes that all of the dividends were reinvested.
