With Walt Disney¡¯s monthslong proxy war with activist investor Nelson Peltz in the rear-view mirror, attention is refocused on finding CEO Bob Iger¡¯s successor.

The board has extended Iger¡¯s retirement date five times, continually deferring decisions about finding a replacement.

Disney board members sought to reassure investors, ahead of Wednesday¡¯s shareholder vote, that this time they are taking the matter of succession seriously, as they vet internal and external candidates ahead of Iger¡¯s new retirement date by the end of 2026.
