Disney and activist investors have been exchanging jabs in the lead-up to the entertainment giant’s Wednesday shareholder meeting.
The back-and-forth has arisen out of the ongoing proxy fights Disney is having with two entities, Trian Group and Blackwells Capital.
Proxy fight started late last year

That was followed in January by investment firm Blackwells Capital launching one of its own.
