Activist investor Nelson Peltz and fired Marvel executive Ike Perlmutter are launching a proxy fight for seats on Disney's board of directors, accusing CEO Bob Iger of failing to 'right the ship' quickly enough with his dramatic turnaround plan.In a statement on Thursday, Peltz's investment firm Trian slammed Disney's board for overseeing 'significant value destruction and missteps' and vowed to take its 'case for change directly to shareholders'.Sources familiar with the matter say Trian plans to seek at least three seats on the Disney board, which the company on Wednesday expanded from 10 to 12 in a move widely seen as fortifying itself against the looming power struggle.
