Good news: The CEO Of  Walt Disney makes a great announcement today

The Walt Disney Company held its 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on Wednesday and CEO Bob Iger thanked shareholders for their “trust and confidence” in Disney.

Iger’s comments came after the announcement that, based on the tabulation of Disney’s proxy solicitor, it appears that Disney’s full slate of 12 directors had been elected by a substantial margin over the nominees of Trian and Blackwells. Final voting tallies are subject to certification by the company’s independent inspector of elections and preliminary and final results will be included in the company’s report to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the coming days.

“I just want to take a moment to thank our shareholders for your trust and confidence in the Disney Board and management and the ambitious strategy we are implementing across our businesses to build for the future,” Iger told shareholders. “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.”

Building for Growth

Iger also told shareholders during the virtual meeting Wednesday about the ongoing positive impact of Disney’s strategic transformation and the company’s forward momentum building its businesses for growth.
