“It’s going to be a long, cold winter at Disney and these guys (Peltz, Perlmutter and Rasulo) are going to make the most of it”, said a longtime Disney executive. “They’re going to go for it and they‘re going to get something“
What is complicating things is that Balckwells has also nominated several people to the board who are unknowns to Disney shareholders while Rasulo is very well known and liked internally. Disney wants nothing to do with Blackwells nominees either.
Nelson Peltz is an expert at blowing up boardrooms and installing his own puppets. He’s done it at almost every company that he’s launched a fight against.
