Before the Walt Disney Company’s shareholder meeting was scheduled to kick off at 1:00 PM ET on April 3, Reuters reported that the company’s slate for the board of directors had prevailed over activist challenges.



Reuters noted that Disney “secured enough shareholder votes to defeat a challenge against its board mounted by Nelson Peltz's hedge fund Trian Fund Management, people familiar with the matter said on Tuesday.” The slate from Blackwells Capital also failed.

 

If this report holds up, few will be surprised given that such activist challenges rarely succeed, and that Disney has been instituting a variety of changes, including cost savings and assorted other changes meant to reinvigorate creativity, achieve efficiencies, and boost the stock price.
