I’m Bob Iger – CEO of The Walt Disney Company.
Ahead of our upcoming Annual Meeting, I wanted to update you about the Company’s significant recent achievements, and share why your vote this year is so important to Disney’s future.
but we’ve made significant progress, and I am enormously optimistic about our future.
Over the past year, we’ve assembled a new team of experienced leaders, and we’ve created a much more efficient and highly effective company structure.
as evidenced by our recent earnings performance and the new growth initiatives underway to build our businesses.
The team and I have a responsibility to ensure that Disney is one of the most admired companies in the world. This is one of our biggest priorities.
We also want to return to a place where we’re consistently delivering shareholder value. We’ve already taken steps in that direction by declaring a second higher dividend…
and by initiating a 3 billion dollar stock buyback program.
All of this takes a lot of work and a laser-like focus on the task at hand, which is why the major distractions we’re facing from activist investors are exactly what we don’t need.
I’m urging you to vote for the Disney Board’s recommended slate of nominees on the WHITE proxy card—and not to vote for the nominees presented by these activist hedge funds.
You have the power to make sure we are able to continue our momentum from the past year and ensure the success of The Walt Disney Company as the world’s leading and most beloved entertainment company.
The leadership team at our Company is experienced and highly motivated. We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished, we have a clear vision for the future and we’re optimistic about it.
Our goals are to improve the quality of the films we produce… to transition ESPN into a preeminent digital sports platform… to turn streaming into a significant growth business with increased reach and
strong margins… and to turbocharge growth in our experiences business.
All of these goals are achievable, and we’ve already made meaningful progress with each of them. The opportunities before us are very exciting, and we know that we have the strategy, the talent, the
resources, and the determination to be successful.
Thank you for your continued support, and I urge you to vote on the WHITE proxy card in support of Disney Director Nominees.

discussion of certain financial information that differs from what is report ed under U.S. GAAP, including total segment operating income and diluted EPS excluding certain items. These measures should be reviewed in conjunction with the most
comparable GAAP financial measures and should not be considered substitutes for. or superior to, those GAAP financial measures. “Total segment operating income” is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as income before income taxes less
certain non-operating factors. Disney’s management believes that information about total segment operating income allows investors to evaluate changes in the operating results of Disney’s portfolio of businesses separate from non-operational
factors that affect net income, thus providing separate insight into both operations and other factors that affect reported results. A qualitative reconciliation of historical measures of total segment operating income to income before income
taxes, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is provided on this website. “Diluted EPS excluding certain items” is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as diluted EPS less certain items affecting comparability of results from
period to period and amortization of TFCF and Hulu intangible assets, including purchase accounting step-up adjustments for released content. Disney’s management believes that information about diluted EPS excluding certain items allows
investors to evaluate the performance of Disney’s operations exclusive of these items, which is how senior management evaluate segment performance. Qualitative reconciliation of historical measures of diluted EPS excluding certain items to
diluted EPS, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is provided on this website.
February 7, 2024 Q1 FY24 Earnings Presentation Shareholder Materials 2024 Proxy Statement February l, 2024 Letter to Shareholders
February 1, 2024 Dear Fellow Shareholders, Thank you for your investment in The Walt Disney Company and your commitment to its enduring legacy as the leading name in
global entertainment. Disney has an unparalleled portfolio of valuable businesses, brands and assets, and a best-in-class management team who, in close coordination with your Board, have made substantial progress executing on the strategic
transformation of the Company. As a result, Disney has overcome one of the most challenging periods in its history and a new era of building is well underway to drive meaningful growth and shareholder value creation long into the future. That
is why your vote using the WHITE proxy card FOR the election of ONLY your Board’s 12 nominees at this year’s upcoming Annual Meeting is particularly critical. As detailed in Disney’s proxy statement, two hedge funds, Trian Fund Management,
L.P. and Blackwells Capital, are each seeking to replace a portion of your Board with their own separate nominees, all of whom your Board believes do not possess the appropriate range of talent, skill, perspective and/or expertise to
effectively support the Board’s ongoing efforts to drive profitable growth and shareholder value creation in the face of continuing industry-wide challenges. Your Board believes that the attempts by the Trian Group and Blackwells are likely
to derail Disney’s progress as election of any of their less qualified nominees would hinder the transformation efforts underway. ELECT THE BOARD BEST QUALIFIED TO CREATE SUSTAINABLE SHAREHOLDER VALUE Just one year after initiating a
strategic overhaul of the Company to restore creativity to the heart of its businesses and establish a more efficient, cost-effective and streamlined approach to operations, the Board and management team of The Walt Disney Company are now
intensely focused on building for the future. This building plan, which is already showing strong results as described below, is designed to position our streaming businesses for sustained growth and profitability, reinvigorate the Company’s
film studios, fortify ESPN for the future and turbocharge growth in Disney’s Experiences business over the long term. Delivering on Disney’s significant growth potential will require leadership that has a deep understanding of the Company’s
current strengths and assets and entertainment industry expertise – particularly in navigating the myriad disruptive forces that are unique to the media industry today. The Disney Board and management team fully meets these requirements,
being comprised of engaged, diverse and dynamic leaders, whose skillsets are closely aligned with the key drivers of our business, including media and entertainment, direct-to-consumer expertise, strategic transformation, technology and
innovation and 360-degree brand activation. With its powerful brands, truly unique portfolio of high-performing businesses, Bob Iger at the helm alongside a seasoned group of world-class executives and a Board committed to creating
sustainable value for all shareholders, we believe that Disney has tremendous underlying strength. We have accomplished a remarkable amount of work in a brief amount of time, moving from a period of fixing to a period of building. For more

Vote on the WHITE Proxy Card TODAY in Support of ONLY Disney Director Nominees, Not Trian’s or Blackwells’ It is important that you use the WHITE proxy card to vote for
the election of only your Board’s 12 nominees: Mary T. Barra, Safra A. Catz, Amy L. Chang, D. Jeremy Darroch, Carolyn N. Everson, Michael B.G. Froman, James P. Gorman, Robert A. Iger, Maria Elena Lagomasino, Calvin R. McDonald, Mark G.
Parker and Derica W. Rice. Your Board does not endorse either of the Trian Group’s nominees (Nelson Peltz and Jay Rasulo) or any of Blackwells’ nominees (Craig Hatkoff, Jessica Schell and Leah Solivan). We believe that the election of any
of these individuals would impede leadership’s ongoing execution of Disney’s strategic realignment and the Board’s efforts to create value for shareholders for the reasons set forth below. In contrast to your current directors who have
skills and experiences directly relevant to, and closely aligned with, the key drivers of our business and our strategic priorities: • Mr. Peltz brings no media experience and has presented no strategic ideas for Disney, while Mr. Rasulo’s
perspective is stale given he left Disney in 2015 and has not held any executive positions in the industry since. • Mr. Hatkoff and Ms. Solivan do not have any relevant large, public media and entertainment company experience or skills that
would assist the Board in continuing to oversee the successful execution of our strategic transformation. • Ms. Schell would not be an independent director and does not have any experience serving as a director of a public company. Disney’s
Board is Optimally Constituted to Oversee Strategy, Growth, Succession Planning and Long-Term Shareholder Value Creation Disney’s directors possess significant expertise in implementing strategic priorities while creating superior,
sustainable shareholder value at some of the most iconic American companies, and have the skillsets, experiences and professional backgrounds representing a diversity of perspectives and characteristics that are particularly relevant to the
Company’s business and strategic objectives. We remain steadfastly invested in Disney’s long-term success and are committed to strong oversight for the Company and its shareholders, as well as Board refreshment and aligning Board skills and
experiences with our strategic priorities to continue driving the Company’s strategic transformation for the benefit of all of our shareholders. To that end, the Board recently named two new directors – James Gorman and Jeremy Darroch –
both widely respected leaders who will bring fresh perspectives and expertise that complements the talents and experience of the Disney Board as we continue to focus on delivering for shareholders and consumers alike. The Board remains
committed to and actively engaged in the high-priority work of succession planning. In particular, we are confident that new Board member Mr. Gorman’s highly successful tenure leading Morgan Stanley through its own business transformation
and his stewardship of a very successful multi-year CEO succession process will be hugely additive to the Board’s efforts in this area. To that end, he was appointed to the Board’s Succession Planning Committee, which remains committed to
CEO succession planning and achieving a successful long-term outcome for Disney and its shareholders. For more information, visit VoteDisney.com
Disney Has the Right Strategy to Drive Profitable Growth and Value Creation for Shareholders Led by a strong Board and management team, Disney is on the right strategic
path. The Company has emerged from one of the most challenging periods in its history and is now fully in the midst of a new era of building for future growth and profitability. We have aggressively executed our key strategic priorities to
make Disney’s businesses more efficient and effective, reinvigorated our foundational creative engines and sharpened our focus on our greatest brand and franchise assets. We’ve done this while cutting costs – ~$7.5 billion in cost reductions
targeted by the end of FY24 – and are continuing to seek additional efficiencies without compromising our commitment to quality, growth and value creation. Given our strong balance sheet and commitment to cost cutting, we returned to paying
our shareholders a cash dividend of $0.30 per share in respect of the second half of FY23 on January 10, 2024. This is a strong starting point, from which we see ample opportunity to continue to increase shareholder returns in the future as
earnings and cash flow grow. Disney’s Building Priorities We are intently focused on achieving significant and sustained growth and profitability in our Streaming business. Disney built a leading Direct to Consumer (“DTC”) platform in only
four years and we are continuing to improve our DTC offerings with high-quality content, best-in-class proprietary advertising tools and a more unified experience that are intended to result in more subscriptions, higher engagement and lower
churn. During our Q423 earnings call, we reiterated our expectation of achieving profitability in streaming by the end of FY24 and are working to deliver attractive profit margins in the future. For the past 100 years, our Film Studios have
produced some of the most iconic stories and characters, generating value across the entire company. We are intensely focused on strengthening the creative output of our film studios to bring joy to the next generation of audiences with our
creative excellence. We are committed to telling great stories, leaning into our core brands and franchises and reducing overall output to enable us to concentrate on fewer projects and maintain the highest levels of quality. To that end, we
are targeting a $4.5 billion reduction of annual entertainment cash content spend to focus on a more selective, high-quality slate. As we restore creativity to the heart of our business, we are also continuing our efforts around the creation
of fresh and compelling original IP. With ESPN, we have the world’s leading sports media brand and plan to transform it into the preeminent digital sports platform. We are confident in the value of sports, demonstrated by ESPN’s immense
popularity and its growth in both revenue and operating income over the past two fiscal years amidst a backdrop of notable linear industry declines. As we prepare ESPN for a streaming future, there are enormous opportunities to reach fans in
compelling new ways and fully integrate key features into our primary digital ESPN offering. For more information, visit VoteDisney.com
Additionally, we are optimistic about the prospect of strategic relationships for ESPN to assist with content, marketing and distribution. Disney is also prioritizing
strategic investments to turbocharge growth in our Experiences business, and is planning to invest ~$60 billion in capital over the next 10 years to enhance and expand domestic and international parks, as well as cruise line capacity. We know
the attractive return prospects of these investments for shareholders and are confident in the growth potential of these investments given our wealth of IP, innovative technology, buildable land and unmatched creativity. Overall, our progress
and building strategy have been recognized by investor ValueAct Capital, which supports the Board’s recommended nominees. “Disney is the world’s leading entertainment company. It has the best intellectual property, sports brand and parks
& experiences assets in the industry. As legacy technologies transition to digital platforms, we believe Disney can lead the media industry forward,” said Mason Morfit, Co-CEO of ValueAct. Disney is On the Right Path to Deliver Results
for its Shareholders After 100 years, we know Disney continues to have an enduring positive impact on generations of people around the world. We also know that this Company has tremendous resilience and fortitude in times of great change and
uncertainty. The Company’s Board and management team are laser-focused on building upon this legacy, driving growth and leveraging our iconic intellectual property, unparalleled franchises and best-in-class portfolio of assets to deliver
value for shareholders. Disney’s Board remains committed to oversight of management as it executes against its strategic vision to drive increased shareholder value and celebrate the creativity and storytelling that have been at the heart of
Disney’s iconic legacy. Your Board recommends that you vote on the WHITE proxy card FOR all 12 of Disney’s nominees. We urge you not to vote using any blue proxy card from the Trian Group or green proxy card from Blackwells. Please disregard
and discard those cards. Thank you again for your continued support of The Walt Disney Company. Sincerely, The Walt Disney Company Board of Directors For more information, visit VoteDisney.com
