Disney CEO Bob Iger is practically begging Disney shareholders to “vote white” and keep the current Disney board as-is. This would be the second video Disney has put out to try and sway its shareholders to not vote for Nelson Peltz’s nominees, which includes former Disney CFO Jay Rasulo.

Additional Context:
In the latest twist in the tale of the Magic Kingdom, Disney CEO Bob Iger has become the protagonist in a riveting corporate saga, urging shareholders to “vote white” in a bid to keep the current Disney board intact. This move is part of Disney’s effort to fend off Nelson Peltz, the activist investor and founder of Trian Fund Management, who has been casting spells of his own in an attempt to secure a seat on Disney’s board for himself and former CFO Jay Rasulo.
The narrative took a whimsical turn as Disney released an animated video to its shareholders, imploring them to support the company’s 12 nominated board members, effectively sidelining Peltz and his nominees. The video, featuring a talking duck and other movie characters, aimed to simplify the voting process for shareholders, suggesting they discard any blue or green proxy cards associated with Peltz’s campaign and instead use the white proxy card to back Disney’s own nominees.
The backdrop of this enchanting tale is a proxy battle, where shareholders are rallied to pressure a company’s management or board of directors to implement changes, aiming for increased transparency, focus, and accountability. The Disney board has responded by recommending a slate of nominees they believe will sustain the company’s strategic growth initiatives and long-term performance, including industry stalwarts like Mark G. Parker, chairman of the Disney Board and executive chairman of Nike, and Mary T. Barra, chair and CEO of General Motors.
Bob Iger’s strategy in this narrative is clear: maintain the status quo of the board, which he believes is essential for Disney’s continued success and shareholder value. His return to Disney’s helm in November 2022 was met with optimism, with Iger having previously led the company to significant heights. However, despite his efforts and a compensation package totaling approximately $31.6 million, Disney’s share price has not reflected the anticipated positivity, creating an opening for Peltz to challenge the board’s composition.
As this saga unfolds, shareholders find themselves in the midst of a fairy tale battle for control of one of the most beloved companies in the world. With the annual meeting approaching in the spring, all eyes will be on Disney to see whether Iger’s call to arms will be enough to keep the company on its current course, or if Peltz’s quest for change will turn the page to a new chapter in Disney’s storied history.
