Walt Disney Co.’s board of directors was re-elected by a margin of 92.2 percent in a preliminary count of a shareholder vote announced at the media giant’s annual meeting Friday. Disney did not give tallies for individual board members at the meeting, which comes a year after a shareholder revolt roiled Disney and led to Chief Executive Michael Eisner being stripped of his role as board chairman.
Disney’s annual meeting for shareholders, which is taking place in Minneapolis, contrasts greatly with last year’s confab in Philadelphia, which at times resembled a heavyweight bout with dissident ex-director Roy E. Disney taking the stage to challenge the leadership of company CEO Michael Eisner. Since then, the company has delivered on its promise to grow earnings more than 50 percent and the stock has also seen a double-digit rise in value. A hostile all-stock takeover bid from cable TV giant Comcast Corp., which hung over last year’s meeting, has since disappeared as Disney’s stock has outperformed that of its rival.
Eisner joked about the year gone by at a recent analyst meeting, a gathering that last year "was punctuated by a vacation postcard from [ Comcast CEO ] Brian Roberts," Eisner said. The card was returned to sender," he said, noting that the past year Disney has delivered "stellar performance that defied the gravity of a year ago." But as shareholders gather Friday in Minneapolis, they will also hear the echoes of the troubles that roiled last year’s meeting, when investors delivered a stinging vote of no confidence to Eisner, who later relinquished his role as board chairman.
In contrast to last year, most proxy consulting firms have endorsed Disney’s board and lauded the company for the corporate governance strides it has made. Yet just in time for the meeting, a hefty new book, written with Disney’s cooperation, paints an unflattering portrait of Eisner and his heir apparent, President and Chief Operating Officer Bob Iger.
The book, "DisneyWar," by James B. Stewart, shows Eisner unsure about the qualifications of his second-in command and Iger complaining about his lack of visibility in the company. "No one takes me seriously," Iger said to one executive outside of Disney, according to the book. Iger’s comment came in the midst of his effort to mm around Disney’s troubled ABC network, which was fourth in the ratings and, according to the book, Eisner’s growing impatience with that effort.
Which of the following is tree of Bob Iger, according to the passage?
选项
A、He wrote the book "DisneyWar".
B、He was the former CEO of ABC
C、He was Michael Eisner’ heir apparent.
D、Michael Eisner spoke very highly of Bob Iger’s work.
答案
C
解析
细节题。文章第四段末尾明确指出Bob Iger是Michael Eisner的当然继承人。别的选项与文章内容不符,所以正确答案是C。
