THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY

The Walt Disney Company is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and its shares are held across a broad base of institutional and individual investors rather than a small, fixed group of named shareholders. Because the company is listed, only investors that cross the 5% ownership threshold are required to publicly disclose their positions, typically through Schedule 13G filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; this places available disclosure in the major shareholders only category rather than a complete shareholder register.

Based on the most recent Schedule 13G filings identified, an entity within the Vanguard Group reported beneficial ownership of approximately 7.49% of the company’s common stock (132,734,000 shares) as of an event date of March 31, 2026. BlackRock, Inc. had earlier reported beneficial ownership of approximately 6.7% (122,883,021 shares) in a Schedule 13G filed in January 2024; a more recent update to that specific position was not identified at the time of writing, so that figure should be treated as dated rather than current.

No verified ultimate beneficial owner has been identified for The Walt Disney Company. Given the company’s status as a widely held public company with roughly 1.8 billion shares outstanding spread across thousands of institutional funds and individual investors, this reflects the dispersed nature of its ownership rather than a gap in the available disclosure. Holdings below the 5% disclosure threshold are not individually published and are not reflected here.

The officer records shown above for The Walt Disney Company are drawn from California Statement of Information filings, which list individuals authorised to sign state filings on the company’s behalf. These are not necessarily the same as the company’s full senior executive team, which is disclosed separately through its SEC filings, proxy statements and official investor communications; the registry data reflects 76 officer records accumulated across many years of California filings rather than a current organisational chart. Nationality is not disclosed for these individuals in the sources reviewed, and residence should not be inferred from any correspondence address shown in the registry record.

On February 3, 2026, The Walt Disney Company announced that Josh D’Amaro, until then chairman of the company’s Experiences division, would become Chief Executive Officer effective March 18, 2026, succeeding Robert A. Iger. Effective the same date, Dana Walden was named President and Chief Creative Officer of The Walt Disney Company, reporting to the new Chief Executive Officer. Robert A. Iger moved into the role of Senior Advisor to the company and continues to serve as a member of its board of directors.

Officer and director information for The Walt Disney Company is otherwise disclosed on a current-only basis through its SEC filings and proxy statements rather than through a continuously updated public register; nationality is not a field the company discloses for its executives, and the California Statement of Information reflects state-designated signatory officers rather than the complete executive roster.

The Walt Disney Company is the ultimate, publicly traded parent of the Disney corporate group and has no parent company of its own. Its group includes a large number of direct and indirect subsidiaries operating across the United States and internationally, spanning its Entertainment, Sports and Experiences segments. Verified operating subsidiaries include entities such as Marvel Studios, LLC, Hulu, LLC, A&E Television Networks, LLC, ESPN Productions, Inc., and entities carrying the Twentieth Century Fox and Lucasfilm names, reflecting businesses acquired through Disney’s 2019 acquisition of Twenty-First Century Fox and its earlier acquisitions of Lucasfilm, Marvel and Pixar. The wider structure includes considerably more entities worldwide than are listed in the group chart above.

In March 2019, Disney completed its acquisition of Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc., adding the Twentieth Century Fox studio and related television and international businesses to the group; the pre-2019 parent entity was renamed and became a wholly owned Disney subsidiary as part of that reorganisation. In November 2024, Disney combined its previously wholly owned Star India business with Reliance Industries’ Viacom18 media operations to form a new joint venture named JioStar, in which Disney holds a 36.84% stake and Reliance affiliates hold the remaining approximately 63.16%; Star India ceased to be a wholly owned Disney subsidiary as a result of that transaction. No other material group reorganisations were identified as of the information date.

Disney’s group structure is documented through its SEC subsidiary disclosures and official transaction announcements, so overall availability is best described as full at the level of major operating subsidiaries and material transactions, though ownership percentages below the entity level are stated only where officially disclosed.
