Part 2/6:
Ike Pearlmutter, once the owner of Marvel Studios, sold his stake in the company to Disney for a substantial $4 billion in cash and stock. Despite cashing out, Pearlmutter remains a significant figure in Disney's shareholder landscape through his proxy voting power. His shares are estimated to be worth over a billion dollars, and he has pledged this proxy power to Nelson Peltz, a major activist investor. Peltz's intention to mount another proxy fight against Disney has raised eyebrows, signaling a potential shift in control and influence within the company's shareholder meetings.
