Supporting statement
STATEMENT IN SUPPORT: The Walt Disney Company is slow to admit that we shareholders own the company. It has a long history of ignoring most if not all shareholder communications except from shareholders it knows, such as Directors. Even the one-share kid investors, if they write to Mickey, should have a form-response. And we adult investors speak out with motivation to assist the Company, enhance its future. We need to be recognized. Such enlightened respect for its owners will enhance shareholder values, as shareholders feeling they are part of the Company will be motivated to increase their investment, existing investors less likely to sell if they feel they are listened-to, and new investors will be happy to learn that Mickey Mouse does not turn a deaf-ear. This is the “Mickey Mouse Good Manners” proposal. Please vote “yes” or your proxy vote will be considered a “no” vot
