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. [br] In the third paragraph, by saying: "The card was returned to sender," Michael Eisner is sug- gesting that _________.
选项
A、Disney performed better than last year and therefore had a revenge on his opponents
B、he would send Brian Roberts a vocation card
C、he would not resign even though some shareholders rioted the last year’s meeting
D、he would later relinquish his role as board chairman
答案
A
解析
推理题。Michael Eisner说这句话的用意是不服气去年有人在会议上公开反对他。在这句话后的句子充分说明了他的意思:“noting that the past year Disney has delivered stellar performance that defied the gravity of a year ago.”(他)着重提到在过去的一年迪斯尼表现突出,业绩显著,成功化解了一年前的严峻形势。)。Michael Eisner想通过事实证明他的能力以回应反对他的人,所以正确答案是A。
