Disney CEO Bob Iger received a call from activist investor Nelson Peltz, the executive revealed on CNBC Wednesday. However, Iger doesn’t have “specifics about what else he is really after or what he will ask for.”
“We’re in lockstep with with the board in terms of our opportunities and our challenges and our direction. We all feel very optimistic about the future of the company. I don’t have any more to add really about that,” Iger said.
Peltz’s Trian Fund Management oversees roughly $2.5 billion of Disney shares. According to a report from CNBC, Peltz will be paying close attention to The Walt Disney Company’s fourth quarter earnings call, which started mere minutes after Iger’s interview on the network.
