Peltz’s Trian Fund Management said Disney shareholders have lost about $70 billion in value since the activist ended its first campaign in February. Trian said that it spoke to Disney CEO Bob Iger on Thursday and that the company’s board agreed to meet with the investment firm but wouldn’t grant its request for board representation.
Activist investor Nelson Peltz, who’s looking to shake up Disney‘s board, plans to nominate two directors as candidates for directors of the Mouse House’s board: Peltz himself, and former Disney CFO Jay Rasulo.
Peltz’s Trian Fund Management said Thursday it submitted a notice of its intention to nominate the two independent director candidates at Disney’s 2024 annual shareholders meeting, expected to be held next spring.
“Disney is one of the most iconic companies in the world with unrivaled scale, unparalleled customer loyalty, irreplaceable intellectual property (IP) and an enviable commercial flywheel. However, Disney has woefully underperformed its peers and its potential,” Trian said in a statement.
Trian controls roughly $3 billion worth of Disney stock and is seeking multiple directors. The activist investor said it plans to take its case directly to shareholders, without specifying what changes it seeks. Disney said in response to Peltz’s announcement that it is moving from a period of fixing to one of building, has a strong balance sheet and continues to refresh its board.
Investors have finally started to notice Disney’s creativity is NOT what it used to be. Now Disney is focused on pushing agendas, not creating memorable stories and characters and it’s becoming widely criticized among the investment meda. The Financial Times, the UK version of the Wall Street Journal is asking, “Can Disney rediscover the magic?” They are questioning the obvious lack of creativity that’s destroying what used to be the greatest creative brand in American business.
