New York City Comptroller Brad Lander breaks down the Disney proxy battle on ‘The Claman Countdown.’
It’s been a bruising few months for Disney CEO Bob Iger as he worked to fend off activist investor Nelson Peltz, whose Trian Fund Management lost a bid for two seats on the media giant’s board of directors at Wednesday’s annual meeting.
“Now that this distracting proxy contest is behind us, we’re eager to focus 100% of our attention on our most important priorities: growth and value creation for our shareholders and creative excellence for our consumers,” Iger said in a statement following the vote.
