In 2015, Nelson Peltz's Trian Partners was defeated in an activist campaign against chemical firm DuPont , largely because the top three institutional shareholders voted against his slate. Nearly a decade later, those same institutional investors — Vanguard, State Street and BlackRock — are the three largest shareholders in Disney . Former Marvel chairman Ike Perlmutter has entrusted Peltz with his 33 million Disney shares, the bulk of the activist's 1.8% stake. Vanguard is the largest holder with 8% of outstanding Disney shares. In 2021, for example, 63% of Disney shareholders voted their shares, according to data analyzed by 13D Monitor.

AdvertisementThis week's big Disney shareholder vote is supposed to be a seismic event — a referendum on the future of one of the world's most important entertainment companies. But we can definitively say that the Disney proxy battle, which concludes on Wednesday, has been a nice boost for a collection of consultants and media companies.
