In September last year, the company announced plans to complete rooftop solar arrays on more than three quarters of its California stores, with projects planned for up to 60 locations. The projects will bring Walmart’s total number of solar installations in California to 130. Each store’s array will provide 20 to 30 percent of its electric needs."

According to the story, "Egan Jones also wants shareholders to vote against a nonbinding proposal on executive compensation, and vote in a proposal requesting regular reports to shareholders on the company’s political spending."
