Marvel

On August 31, 2009, the Company announced an agreement to acquire Marvel Entertainment, Inc. (Marvel) in a cash and stock transaction. Under the terms of the agreement Marvel shareholders would receive $30 per share in cash and 0.7452 Disney shares for each Marvel share they own. At closing, the amount of cash and stock will be adjusted if necessary so that the total value of the Disney stock issued as merger consideration based on its trading value at that time is not less than 40% of the total merger consideration. Based upon Disney’s stock price as of November 20, 2009, the acquisition purchase price would be approximately $4 billion. The acquisition is subject to the effectiveness of a registration statement with respect to Disney shares to be issued in the transaction and other customary closing conditions. The acquisition is also subject to the approval of Marvel shareholders.
