Shareholder Activist: Entire Disney Board Presided Over Last Year’s Disaster and Does Not Deserve Re-election

National Legal & Policy Center

National Legal and Policy Center, a shareholder in The Walt Disney Company, is calling upon investors in the company to take the extreme step of voting to oppose the entire slate of nominees for the board of directors, all of whom are carryovers that presided over the entertainment giant’s worst year since the 1970s. That’s right – after Disney emerged from a disastrous 2022 that saw extremists take control of their programming, the degradation of its valuable intellectual and creative properties, and the worst performance of its stock price since 1974, all the existing directors (minus one) have decided that each of them deserves to return to their company oversight roles. The Disney annual meeting is on April 3. NLPC is sponsoring Proposal No. 5, which asks the board to produce a report that identifies and itemizes the company’s risks from its extensive business ties to China. NLPC also issued an extensive memorandum for shareholders, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday, that outlines why the directors – including CEO Robert Iger – don’t deserve another term after Disney’s dysfunctional 2022, in which they extended the contract of former CEO Bob Chapek mid-year, only to terminate him within five months. The report also highlights several concerns pertaining to the company’s exposure in communist China. Following are excerpts from the memorandum to shareholders that was filed at the SEC on Wednesday: Disney – with its wealth of creative intellectual properties, automatic revenue generators at theme parks all over the planet, and nearly recession-proof entertainment- and media-delivery mechanisms – has seen an inexplicable decline in shareholder returns compared to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index. As of January 10, 2023, the Company’s share price fell short against the Wall Street measuring stick over one year (by 24 percent), three years (by 60 percent), five years (by 66 percent), and ten years (by 116 percent). By March 15, 2023 – the date of the filing of this report with the SEC – the share price had descended even lower. Only two years ago Disney stock traded at its eight-year peak – $197.16 – and over the course of 2022, its value dropped by 44 percent. It was the worst year for the Company’s stock since 1974… The Company has squandered, wasted, devalued and ruined much of its content and beloved brands with the pursuit of a far-left political agenda – known in current-day parlance as “wokeness.” For that and because of those poor business decisions, we call for an overhaul of the current board, and also seek support for our own proposal (“Report on Operations Related to China”)…. Disney’s executive suite and its Board have allowed its signature brands and its once-beloved properties to become infected with divisive political agendas…. This is untenable for a Company that built its reputation on family-friendly programming and offerings, if it hopes to continue to attract a broad swath of viewers and customers…. While Disney was more than willing to go to battle (with Mr. Iger’s blessing) against Florida over the parental rights bill that opponents falsely nicknamed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, the Company proactively waved the surrender flag in order to access TV audiences in the Muslim world….The Company only cares to “fight” for LGBTQ+ rights where they are free to do so. Otherwise, Disney is perfectly happy to bend its “principles” at the behest of dictators and oppressors in pursuit of revenues…. Mr. Iger has come under criticism for his succession planning…. Shareholder Abigail Disney (whose politics largely align with Mr. Iger’s), granddaughter of Company co-founder Roy O. Disney and grandniece of Walt, told Time in November, “The bottom line is that this was very poor succession planning and the onus of that has to land squarely on Bob Iger’s shoulders as well as the shoulders of the board of directors.” She also said, “I hope it triggers some reflection at the board level because ultimately, this is the board’s job, to hire and fire CEOs. I hope to see something better happening next time around. I hope Bob [Iger] has one foot out the door. The brand is taking a terrible beating right now for a lot of reasons….” “Disney shareholders may think we’re crazy for asking that they oppose the entire board’s re-election, but all the vote means is that it is a statement of no-confidence,” said Paul Chesser, director of NLPC’s Corporate Integrity Project. “After the company’s catastrophic 2022 and the persistent mundane performance of its share price, the current directors have failed miserably. A signal from shareholders would force them to revisit their board makeup and tell them to refresh their ranks.” You can read NLPC’s shareholder proposal on China risks at its website, and the full memorandum to Disney shareholders at the SEC website. Founded in 1991, NLPC promotes ethics in public life and government accountability through research, investigation, education, and legal action. ### For more information or to schedule an interview with Paul Chesser, contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or drene@nlpc.org.

WagerWire Launches Media Network

WagerWire

WagerWire, a first-of-its-kind marketplace for active sports bets, announced today that it has formally launched it’s media division in tandem with a new Community Page on its website, which will be home to unique insights, viewpoints and written commentaries created by members of its rapidly growing community. The site will also host proprietary tools like its “Bet Value Calculator,” which instantly calculates the fair market value of any bet. The mantra of WagerWire’s Community is to create content “for fans, by fans.” Through a platform built on mutual support between creators, @WagerWire attracted a talented and rapidly expanding base of micro-influencers bringing tens of millions of impressions per month to the brand’s platform. The company’s newly launched Community Page hosts video, audio and written content covering game previews and recaps, hot storylines in sports, wild betting action, and fan pontifications. WagerWire’s live Twitter Spaces shows have a fresh spontaneous quality, with Hall of Fame athletes regularly making surprise pop-ins, such as recent guests Lavar Arrington, Cardale Jones, Ed Latimore, and more. During these audio shows, community members interview athletes and other notable personalities in the sports industry about their careers, and discuss insights and stats, while swapping sports takes and betting picks. WagerWire’s current slate includes “Executive Football Talk” hosted by former NY Jets General Manager Mike Tennenbaum and legendary sports executive David Meltzer, multiple NBA, NHL and MLB shows, as well as the “Mental Health Zone” and “Queen’s Round Table.” The company is also rolling out their Bet Value Calculator tool engineered with their proprietary technology to show users the real market value of their bet, and allowing them to compare these values to the cash out offer from their sportsbook. WagerWire logs this data to chart the pulse of the landscape. They have found users regularly reporting cash out offers in the 50% range of market value, which they feel further demonstrates the need for a free and open marketplace. WagerWire is also leveraging its in-house data team to supercharge content generation by finding narratives within the numbers, turning each bet into a story. The WagerWire community has quickly grown to over 20,000 active participants and become one of the most engaged communities on social media. So far in 2023 their Twitter has garnered 8.5M impressions and 2,100 daily profile visits. Their TikTok videos have captured 500k views and 75k likes in the first two weeks of March alone. “The new movement in social media is all about community,” said WagerWire’s content manager Nick Davis, known as @spoonofzeke on Twitter. “Recent years have isolated sports fans and bettors and sent them to the internet in search of something. What we have found is that users are looking for mutual engagement. We have put a significant amount of time into the community letting them know that we see them, we want to know more about them and we want to elevate their content.” The network is headed up by WagerWire's Co-Founder and Chief Experience Officer (CXO) Travis Geiger. Prior to co-founding WagerWire, Geiger graduated from the UCLA film school and spent more than a decade in Hollywood TV and film production. “The current sports betting media landscape is uninspiring for sports fans and bettors. The status quo is basically a stale sea of so-called experts telling people what to do. WagerWire is disrupting this monotony by injecting some democracy,” Geiger said. “People want to be invited to be a part of something. They want to engage and to be engaged with. They crave an interactive and honest way to connect with the brands with whom they choose to spend their time and money.” Geiger sees a unique opportunity for the company to educate and empower the millions of people who will begin their gambling journey over the next few years as the tidal wave of legalization continues. “When it comes to educating bettors, sportsbooks have an inherent conflict of interest in the eyes of the public -- because they’ve built their empires on losses,” Geiger said. “WagerWire is different. We are proud to have been embraced by sports fans and bettors of all experience levels. We are excited to platform the explosive creativity of our grassroots community across all mediums including our app and newly launched site.” WagerWire first came onto the scene when announcing its seed round in July 2022 from the likes of Miami Marlins co-owner Roger Ehrenberg (IA Sports Ventures and Eberg Capital), Betr & Simplebet founder Joey Levy, and NBA All-Star Richard Jefferson, among others. For more information on WagerWire and to sign-up for early access visit WagerWire.com. Join the community on Twitter @WagerWire and on TikTok @WagerWireLive. About WagerWire WagerWire believes that all bettors should have proven, confident options at their disposal. WagerWire empowers you to take control of your actions and view your bets as a portfolio of assets that can be bought and sold at any time. Seamlessly sync your favorite sportsbooks to track the real-time value of your bets, stack rewards, and play with celebrities or friends.

Much Anticipated Crypto Futures Trading Is Coming Soon To PrimeXBT

Benzinga

The time traders have been anxiously awaiting is almost here: the much anticipated Crypto Futures platform is about to debut on PrimeXBT. In advance of a full public release, our team of traders and analysts got to test drive the platform and check out the new design, all-new features, and more. We must warn you: reading the preview below will make waiting a lot harder because initial feedback is that the product is a game-changer for the award-winning cryptocurrency trading platform. Find out why early testers of PrimeXBT Crypto Futures are raving about what’s to come in the very near future – no pun intended! Improving On An Already Near-Perfect Formula “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it" is the stance that most trading platforms take. PrimeXBT’s current margin trading experience is about as good as it gets. The cryptocurrency-based platform has achieved great success in only five years in the market, surviving two bear markets and winning a number of industry awards. Despite the near-flawless experience, PrimeXBT is continuously making improvements to every aspect of its platform, from copy trading to the mobile app, trading tools, and much more. The company has been teasing a big “future” announcement, and at the start of 2023, announced a Big Bounty Contest to test a brand new Crypto Futures product. PrimeXBT handed out over $100,000 in prizes to users who helped refine the experience and get it ready for a public debut in the coming weeks. During this testing phase, we gained exclusive access and were able to try out the platform ahead of the public launch. Long And Short The Most Popular Cryptocurrencies PrimeXBT Crypto Futures has an updated layout and design, which can be customized to suit each user’s personal preference. Simply click to toggle on or off each section of the layout, such as the watch list, positions, or new additions like the order book, which can be used to help strategize around what other market participants are doing. A wide range of cryptocurrency trading pairs is available, featuring popular coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, Litecoin, and more. Additional altcoins are available from important categories like DeFi, GameFi, Metaverse, and others. Essential tools and features users are familiar with have carried over into the Crypto Futures platform. Long and short positions are still available via market, limit, or stop orders. Advanced order types and risk management tools are once again included. All-New Margin Allocation System Gives Traders More Control One of the most significant and notable changes is to the margin allocation system. PrimeXBT, in the past, offered a cross-margin system at up to 200x leverage on cryptocurrencies. How much leverage was applied to a position was based on sizing. In the new and improved Crypto Futures product, leverage can be applied via a cross or isolated margin system and adjusted via a sliding scale. The margin allocation system and how much leverage to apply can be modified at any time and will impact all available positions and pending orders. The new system gives more precise control over how much risk is being applied to the capital exposed, allowing for the fine-tuning of trading to suit any risk appetite. All information is made crystal clear when an order is placed or modified, so traders always understand the impact of their decisions. Getting Technical With Powerful PrimeXBT Trading Tools Created for both beginners and the trading professional, PrimeXBT Crypto Futures features built-in technical analysis software from industry leader TradingView. Traders never have to leave the platform to enjoy best-in-class charting tools. Draw trend lines, turn on technical indicators, or look for the direction of the trend. Orders that are placed appear on the charts in real-time, giving traders an accurate look at the bigger picture to determine stop-loss placement, profit targets, and more. Open orders are also added to the area below the chart, providing a snapshot of the details of each trade. Information includes the open price, liquidation price, unrealized PnL, margin type, and much more. PrimeXBT will continue to offer essential support services such as PrimeXBT Trading Academy, where traders can learn how to use the tools and information above. The educational website is filled with market updates, trading tips, and more. PrimeXBT will continue focusing on its copy trading experience and offer weekly trading competitions through PrimeXBT Contests. Preview Summary Other aspects of PrimeXBT also aren’t going anywhere. For example, access to traditional markets like commodities, stock indices, and forex currencies will remain available separately from the Crypto Futures platform. The same commitment to customer service and quality and the same reliable trading engine will power the new and improved platform. The PrimeXBT mobile application for Android and iPhone will eventually receive an update to include the PrimeXBT Crypto Futures platform when it arrives in the coming weeks. Interesting users who cannot wait to get their hands on the all-new PrimeXBT trading product can register for a free account today and be ready the second it goes live.

Starbucks Shareholder Seeks Removal of Howard Schultz as Director; Urges Company to Be Transparent About China Risks

National Legal & Policy Center

Ahead of Starbucks Corporation ’s annual meeting on March 23, National Legal and Policy Center is calling upon its fellow shareholders to support its proposal to provide greater transparency about the company’s risks of doing business in China, and to join NLPC in opposition to the reelection of outgoing CEO Howard Schultz to the board of directors. NLPC is sponsoring an “Annual Report on Company Operations in China” resolution at the meeting, which seeks transparency for shareholders that addresses “the nature and extent to which corporate operations depend on, and are vulnerable to, communist China….” The item is Proposal No. 7, found on page 79 of Starbucks’s proxy statement. NLPC’s response to the Starbucks board’s opposition to its proposal was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission last week. NLPC also is asking shareholders, in a memo filed with the SEC, to oppose the reelection of longtime (and soon former) CEO Howard Schultz to the company’s board of directors. An excerpt from NLPC’s filing on Schultz says: We believe that Mr. Schultz being removed from all leadership and advisory roles within the company would be the most effective transition. Additionally, given Mr. Schultz’s insistence on exponential growth in risk-laden communist China; his dubious and likely illegal anti-union tactics; and his harmful politicization of the Company, we believe that his complete removal would be beneficial for the development of Mr. Narasimhan and growth of Starbucks. “In the past – even when Howard Schultz had no formal title with Starbucks – he always lurked in the shadows, and seemed to intervene when he saw problems that he arrogantly believed only he could solve,” said Paul Chesser, director of NLPC’s Corporate Integrity Project. “Disney had a similar situation last year with Bob Iger, who just couldn’t let the company go and undermined his successor before he returned, which led to the company’s worst year financially and image-wise in decades. Now Schultz may be doing the same with his aggressive union-busting efforts, which a federal judge has ruled are illegal.” On NLPC’s China proposal, Chesser said, “Mr. Schultz has built Starbucks’s presence in the communist nation beyond 6,000 stores, and has plans for thousands more, at a time of increasing geopolitical risk with U.S.-China relations approaching a critical point in hostilities. Shareholders must be thoroughly informed about the unique risks to the company that China’s aggression presents.” Finally, NLPC has also asked, in a memo filed with the SEC, for fellow Starbucks shareholders to support Proposal No. 9 on the proxy statement, which is sponsored by the Free Enterprise Project. The proposal asks the Company to create a special board committee to review the impacts of policies like its “Third Place Policy,” which opened its stores to anyone for the use of its restrooms and seating areas, regardless of whether they purchased anything. The practice has led to increased crime and unsafe environments around some stores, causing the closure of many of them. Founded in 1991, NLPC promotes ethics in public life and government accountability through research, investigation, education, and legal action. ### For more information or to schedule an interview with Paul Chesser, contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or drene@nlpc.org.

CEEK’s virtual land sale offers creators and developers a lucrative chance to buy virtual land and curate distinctive immersive experiences within the CEEK metaverse. With a thriving community of over 7 million users and high-profile partnerships with popular major brands and celebrities like Dwayne Wade, Lady Gaga, Meta, and Apple, CEEK is leading the charge for Web3 metaverse adoption. This innovative offering generates new revenue streams and opens the door to exciting ventures for the entertainment, media, and music industries, as well as their fans. The following discussion will examine the mechanics of CEEK’s land sale, explore the potential of the CEEK metaverse, and explain why CEEK could be poised to dominate the entertainment industry in the years to come. Understanding The Metaverse And Its Growth Potential Metaverse technology is set to be one of the most transformative and lucrative opportunities of the decade. According to a report by Mckinsey, by 2030 the value of the metaverse could reach $5 trillion. The metaverse can be thought of as a limitless canvas that invites users to explore new realities beyond our physical world. With its ability to blur the line between the physical and digital worlds, the metaverse is poised to disrupt a multitude of industries, including gaming, education, and shopping. Among these, the entertainment industry stands out as a key area of potential. The intersection of entertainment and the metaverse is valuable because it empowers artists to interact and engage with their global fan base in novel and immersive ways. CEEK is at the forefront of this trend and has the potential to become a trailblazer. By offering fans and creators alike the opportunity to take part in the CEEK Land sale, CEEK is poised to generate value for both users and creators in this emerging digital landscape. What Is CEEK Virtual Land? Purchasing CEEK Land is akin to buying a plot of land in a digital world. Each plot is a unique, non-fungible asset that can easily be transferred, monetized, or traded with advanced marketplace functionality. There are only 100,000 parcels of CEEK land in the metaverse, making it a scarce and limited asset. As a landowner, you have complete control over your virtual real estate, allowing you to customize and build it as you see fit. You can create experiences, games, and apps and even host events to earn rewards in the form of tokens. The Benefits Of CEEK Virtual Land The CEEK metaverse’s distinguishing features are its focus on decentralization, value creation, and inclusivity, which are fundamental pillars of Web3. This is achieved through the use of the Ethereum blockchain to power CEEK Land, allowing equitable and transparent distribution of ownership and revenue among all participants in the entertainment ecosystem. In terms of CEEK Land, there are several benefits to land ownership. A few of the most notable perks include: NFT Marketplace: CEEK landholders can participate in the NFT marketplace, where they can sell and purchase virtual properties, potentially generating revenue. Staking: Landowners can stake on other venues for rewards that are proportional to their contribution percentage. Complete Control: Landowners can create a diverse range of apps, experiences, and games on virtual land. Hosting Rewards: Landowners can earn a percentage of ticket sales and advertising for events hosted on their virtual land. How CEEK’s Land Sale Works Individuals interested in becoming landowners can create a CEEK account and browse the CEEK Virtual Land marketplace. Prospective buyers can purchase land with their MetaMask wallet or CEEK wallets, with additional wallets to be added in the future. There are 7 types of land within the CEEK metaverse, each with varying reward opportunities and rarity. These types are as follows: Moreover, there are several other factors that influence the value of CEEK virtual land. A few of the most important factors to consider are: Location: Location creates varying utility and experience opportunities. For example, if you plan to build an aquatic-based game, it may be advantageous to be near a water source. Popularity: The value of a location also depends on the surrounding events in the area. For example, land that is near concert arenas and celebrity villas will likely grow in value due to the traffic in their proximity. Rarity: Not all land is made equal, some land is more rare than others. Rarity is calculated based on the total number of plot sizes that are that size. CEEK: The Future of Virtual Real Estate? With a user-friendly design, a diverse range of opportunities and an impressive list of partners, CEEK Land is an attractive choice for those interested in the CEEK metaverse. As an industry-leading metaverse platform, CEEK might be well-positioned to lead the way for Web3 adoption within the entertainment industry. Just as a seed needs time to grow into a mighty tree, CEEK LAND in the metaverse will require time as artists, users and developers work together to drive its development. However, with a promising roadmap ahead, including plans for VR headset integration, the future looks like it could be bright for CEEK LAND owners.
