Just for your information I wanted to pass on a small part of info in the
Walmart corporate world.

How would you like to work at Walmart & get, "will also be eligible to receive an annual equity award. For fiscal 2013, this award, if approved by the CNGC, will be comprised of performance shares with a target value of $2,625,000" And that is just the start.

But I wanted to do a story on the "CNGC." That stands for,
"Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee"

The Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee (the “Committee”) is appointed by the Board to: (1) discharge the Board's responsibilities relating to the compensation of the Company's directors, executive officers and associates; (2) assist the Board in identifying individuals qualified to serve as Board members; and (3) assist the Board in the implementation of sound corporate governance principles and practices.

The basic responsibility of the members of the Committee is to exercise their business judgment to act in what they reasonably believe to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

In discharging that obligation, members should be entitled to rely on the honesty and integrity of the Company’s senior executives and its outside advisors and auditors, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

With respect to its nominating and governance functions, the Committee has the following authority and responsibilities:

1. Sole authority, in its discretion, to retain or terminate any search firm to be used to identify director candidates and shall have sole authority to approve the search firm’s fees and other retention terms. The Committee shall also have the authority, in its discretion, to obtain advice and assistance from internal or external legal, accounting or other advisors.

9. Establish and oversee the Company’s director orientation and continuing education programs and review and revise those programs as appropriate.
10. Recommend to the Board such changes to the Board’s committee structure and committee functions, as the Committee deems advisable.
11. Confirm that each standing committee of the Board has a charter in effect, that such charter is reviewed at least annually by its committee and that each charter complies with all applicable rules and regulations.
12. Review any proposed amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and recommend appropriate action to the Board.
13. Review and assess the Company’s compliance with the corporate governance requirements established by the New York Stock Exchange, the requirements established under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other applicable corporate governance laws and regulations.
14. Recommend to the Board such additional actions related to corporate governance matters, as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable from time to time.
15. Review and assess the quality and clarity of the corporate governance information provided to the Board and its committees by management and direct management as the Committee deems appropriate with respect to such materials.
16. Oversee the Board’s evaluation of senior management.
17. Develop procedures for and conduct the annual self-assessment and review of the performance of the Board and each Board committee, and report annually to the Board with an assessment of the Board’s and the Board committees’ performance.

19. Review and reassess the adequacy of the Corporate Governance Guidelines of the Company annually and recommend any proposed changes to the Board for approval.
