  • Furthermore, ISS suggests that the Board “comprises well-qualified and accomplished directors” and “does not lack a key skill set.”
    Additionally, it’s worth noting that Trian’s silent partner, former Disney employee Ike Perlmutter, owns almost 79% of Trian’s Disney shares.
  • Disney recommends that shareholders vote FOR only its 12 nominees and withhold votes for the Trian Group and Blackwells nominees using the WHITE proxy card.
