The Walt Disney Company has been in the midst of a proxy battle for board seats.

Nelson Peltz and Jay Rasulo have been campaigning to get themselves elected to Disney’s board, though the company has not been quiet in denouncing the duo’s efforts. Disney nominated its own set of candidates, and now, we officially have the results of that vote.
At the 2024 Walt Disney Company Annual Meeting of Shareholders on April 3rd, we learned that the full slate of Disney’s nominees had been approved.

Disney had previously made it clear that the board did not endorse the nominations of Nelson Peltz and James Rasulo put forth by Trian Fund Management, L.P., and its affiliates, led by Nelson Peltz and supported by former Disney executive Isaac Perlmutter (collectively, the “Trian Group”).

In addition to voting on the new Board of Directors, shareholders also voted on several proposals, both from Disney itself and other organizations. Disney’s proposals were approved, while all others did not pass.
We’ll have to wait and see how this vote impacts the future of Disney, if at all. In the meantime, stay tuned to AllEars for the latest Disney news!
