Wal-Mart Stores's CEO Hosts International Conference For The Investment Community (Transcript)

I'd also like to mention that we recognize the importance of our French citizens here in Canada. And for those of you who do feel more comfortable hearing the meeting in French, at the back room, you will see -- at the back of the room, you will see a tan booth. And we do have translators who will be providing a complete translation of the meeting in French. So if you'd like to hear everything that's being said, please step back. We have headsets available and you're welcome to use those during the meeting.

For those of you listening in on the webcast, we will have French translations of the audio available as well. They will be put into MP3 pods, if you will, as we do with the English audio tracks as well after the meeting. We do archive all the presentations, both the video presentation that you're going to see on the meeting as well as the audio tracks, and we do provide a complete transcript of the meeting within 24 hours of that, so those will be available. Everything is archived on our website, that's walmartstores.com/investors.

I'd also like to point out a couple upcoming dates that are very important in the IR world, and that is certainly -- as you know, we closed FY '12 last year. We announced those results back in February. Our first quarter will be announced on May 17. One of the things that we've done this year is we pushed our earnings schedule from what was last year a Tuesday to this year a Thursday, so all of our dates are on Thursday this year. The next big event, and we will be opening registration for that event very shortly, is our Annual Shareholders Meeting. For those of you who have attended, you know that it's not only very educational but it's also extremely entertaining. This year will be especially important because we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the start of our company. Sam Walton opened the first store on July 2, 1962, in Rogers, Arkansas. And the fact that our Shareholders Meeting is June 1 really points to the fact that, over the past 50 years, we've been incredibly successful as a company. So if you have an opportunity to come to shareholders, you'll hear not only about some of that history, but you'll also hear a number of updates about our company in general.
