Last year, billionaire Daniel Loeb pushed for changes. In November, the company brought back old boss Bob Iger as chief executive.
Peltz's Trian Fund Management LP, which owns a less than 5% stake in Disney, believes Iger should not be back in control of the company and pushed for operational changes and cost cuts, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters in November. Trian believes Disney has excessive compensation practices and lacks cost discipline, the Wall Street Journal said on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
