Exhibit 1

 

Disney and ValueAct entered into their information sharing agreement on January 3, 2024 and this made Disney’s ‘Information Vacuum Discount’ even more glaring. Not acceptable, Disney.

 

Disney’s agreement with ValueAct needs to be made public. We believe all shareholders deserve access to the same information.
