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.

High Wire Networks Inc (OTCMKTS:HWNI) Replaces Convertible Note with Conventional Loan

TopNewsGuide - Market News & Commentary

The cybersecurity and information technology sectors have both grown at a breakneck pace over the course of the past decades and given the fact that the world is only going to get more connected, the sectors are expected to grow more. As a consequence, it is perhaps not really a surprise that investors continue to be interested in companies that are involved in these sectors. One of the companies to fit that bill is High Wire Networks Inc (OTCMKTS:HWNI), which is involved in the IT enablement and cybersecurity services space. The company works through more than 600 channel partners and through those partners it offers its managed services to more than 1000 managed security clients and thousands upon thousands of technology clients. The end customers which use High Wire Networks services include a large number of companies in the Fortune 500 and also some of the biggest government agencies in the United States. Last week, the company was in the news after it made a fairly positive announcement with regard to its debt situation. High Wire Networks announced that it had exchanged the principal as well as accrued interest related to a convertible note totaling as much as $236,000 for a conventional loan of the same amount. It was a significant move from the company considering the fact that in the previous arrangement, the note could have been turned into common shares at $0.06 a share. The conversion into a conventional loan would get rid of the feature and reduce the dilution of the company’s shares by as many as 4 million shares, which works out to around 1.4% of its outstanding and issued shares. The company is scheduled to pay the loan off at some point in August this year. The latest announcement came close on the heels of an announcement from High Wire Networks about the sale of its legacy staffing business for $11.5 million. That transaction helped in the elimination of other convertible debt and also canceled Series D preferred shares. The conversion provisions elimination helped in reducing the fully diluted shares by as much as 16% and also eliminated monthly debt repayments to the tune of $325,000. The sale of the company’s legacy staffing business was primarily a function of High Wire Networks’ strategy to focus completely on its faster-growing tech enablement and cybersecurity businesses. As mentioned earlier, it helped in eliminating monthly debt repayments to the tune of around $3.9 million annually. Hence, the transaction has been able to free up a large chunk of capital for the company, which it would deploy toward the faster-growing and higher-margin businesses. The cybersecurity and technology businesses have been generating revenues on a recurring basis and that has primarily been the case because of the presence of longer-term contracts with different clients. Mark Porter, the Chief Executive Officer of High Wire Networks, noted that although the staging business was growing at a steady pace, the sale of the business had been a strategic move.

Bunker Hill Mining Corp (OTCMKTS:BHLL): Here Are The Latest Updates

TopNewsGuide - Market News & Commentary

In recent times, the mining and exploration industry has managed to garner considerable attention from investors, and for good reason too. The fluctuation in commodity prices led to considerable interest in many companies involved in the sector and one of the companies which could be worth tracking at this point is Bunker Hill Mining Corp (OTCMKTS:BHLL). Not too long ago the company came under the control of a new leadership, which is based out of Idaho and it is now working on restarting its Bunker Hill Mine. The company believes that the sustainable restart of the mine is going to be the first step toward the consolidation of its portfolio of North American mining assets. The assets are primarily focused on silver. More information with regard to the company’s operations is available on its website as well as on the EDGAR and CEDAR databases. As mentioned earlier, the reopening of the Bunker Hill mine is currently the top priority of Bunker Hill Mining Corp and last week on March 10 the company made a major new announcement with regard to the project. The company provided an affirmation with regard to the budget estimates and the capital costs, while at the same time, it came up with an update about the project financing initiatives. The Chief Executive Officer of the company Sam Ash spoke about the company’s work. He noted that the budget estimates with regard to the restart plan remained in line with the previous estimates. More importantly, the company announced that its financing plan for the project was based on the stream finance worth $37 million from Sprott Private Resource Streaming & Royalty Corp. However, that financing source had now been complemented through the expression of interest for an upside $20 million offer from potential offtake finance providers. The team which is in charge of the project was on site and was only awaiting the completion of the equity financing activities as well as the offtake finance negotiations. The process plant construction activities and the detailed engineering regarding the same would be restarted at some point in the second quarter of 2023. The company’s work on its financing activities has been in focus in recent times and earlier on in the month on March 2, Bunker Hill Mining Corp made a key new announcement. The company announced at the time that it had concluded the pricing of its private placement that had been announced previously through special warrants. The placement would involve up to C$9 million in special warrants in Bunker Hill Mining Corp. The company announced that the special warrants that it would issue would be priced at C$0.12 each. Roth Capital Partners LLC and Echelon Wealth Partners Inc are going to act as the co-lead agents and joint book runners for the whole thing. The agents are not going to have any underwriter liability as part of the private placement. Each special warrant would be exercisable for no extra consideration.

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.
