Soliciting statements by Mr. Rasulo
General
1. Each statement or
assertion of opinion or belief must be clearly characterized as such, and
a reasonable factual
basis must exist for each such opinion or belief. Support for opinions
or beliefs should be
self-evident, disclosed in the proxy statement or provided to the staff
on a supplemental
basis. With a view toward revised disclosure, provide support for your
statements below from
Mr. Rasulo s interview on CNBC on February 27, 2024:
that Disney is
the second-worst company in the S&P on say on pay.
that the Board is
responsible for reviewing capital deployment, they are responsible
for reviewing
communications to shareholders, they re responsible for paying
consistent with
performance. None of these things happen at Disney.
that Disney s
growth and profitability in the media business was doing miserably
and that the
media segment is doing twice or three times as bad as its competitors.
