[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 9184323, member: 7023840"] So a few things to update this thread (since, as I wrote earlier, I am going to discontinue this series). A. Disney has announced that they will be exercising the option. This just starts the process. Which means two things- first, the actual purchase of Hulu will not take place until sometime next year- and not at the beginning of the year. Second, the price announced is NOT the price that will be paid; it is the floor price for the option. What is going to happen now is that there will be an evaluation of what the FMV of Hulu would be (which is a process that will involve two, or three if there is a large difference of opinions, neutral appraisers), and Disney will pay that price. No one is sure what the final FMV of Hulu will be, but it will almost certainly be higher than the option floor that was announced. Whether that means Disney has to shell out 10 billion, or 15 billion, or maybe even more ... we don't know yet. B. No one who cares about Disney should be in favor of what Peltz is doing. Peltz is in cahoots with Ike Perlmutter. If you know anything about what is going on, you don't want the Peltz/Perlmutter attack to gain any traction. The prior cuts by Iger were [I]because[/I] of the prior proxy battle of Peltz, and Peltz's desire is not to restore Disney's greatness, but to increase the share price through drastic cutbacks and selling off core assets. Moreover, if you're familiar with Perlmutter, you might not be particularly happy to see his re-emergence. Disney is in a rough period right now for a lot of reasons, most of them dealing with the transition to streaming at the exact same time that Wall Street decided to reverse course on its valuation of streaming services. But Iger, at least, has always had a vision for Disney ... and many of the recent missteps can be traced back to some disastrous decisions of the Chapek era that are still being unwound. [/QUOTE]
