During the Class Period, Defendants repeatedly misled investors about the success of the Disney+ platform by concealing the true costs of the platform, concealing the expense and difficulty of maintaining robust Disney+ subscriber growth, and claiming that the platform was on track to achieve profitability and 230- 260 million paid global subscribers by the end of fiscal year 2024.

On February 19, 2025, the Court entered an Order granting Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss the Consolidated Complaint as to Count Two against Iger with leave to amend that claim only; otherwise, the Motion was denied. Defendants filed their Answer to the Consolidated Complaint on March 5, 2025. On May 20, 2025, the Court dismissed Counts One and Three against Defendant Iger. This action is in the discovery phase and is ongoing.
