George Lucas has backed Disney‘s board and CEO Bob Iger as a proxy battle looms, with activist investor groups trying to take seats on their board. Disney is currently facing pressure from two investment companies, Trian Partners and Blackwells Capital, who want to take seats on the company’s board. An investor vote will be held on April 3 to determine if the 12-person board will remain the same, or if candidates from these investment firms will be brought aboard instead.
