Mr. Iger's one-time performance-based equity award should have more rigorous performance criteria Reduce Pay Quantum. Increases in Mr. Iger's annual compensation going into effect after the closing of the TFCF transaction were too large Reduce Pay Quantum.

New CEO compensation should be reset closer to peer median Reduce Overlapping Metrics in short- and long-term plan and consider adding a capital return measure to the long- term plan 2018 2019 2020 2021 1 RESPONSIVE ACTIONS TAKEN Nov. 2018: Made several changes to one-time equity award to enhance rigor, including raising target performance to the 65th percentile and capping payouts.

We believe additional disclosures in this regard would not be an efficient use of resources in light of our existing lobbying policies and disclosures Shareholder proposal: Requests the Company prepare an annually-updated report disclosing additional information regarding lobbying activities The Company provides significant disclosure regarding political and lobbying activities and maintains a strict internal review and oversight process Discloses details of contributions to candidates for office on a semi-annual basis, available on the Company's website Provides reports detailing issues the Company lobbied on, the houses of Congress and federal agencies lobbied and total amounts expended during each calendar quarter on federal lobbying activities and the portion of trade association payments that are used for federal lobbying as disclosed to the Company 1 All political contributions have been approved by the Company's Government Relations team, and the full scope of political contributions activity is reviewed by the Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board annually The Company has been responsive to shareholder suggestions for enhanced disclosure In response to shareholder feedback after the 2018 Annual Meeting, the Board enhanced the Company's lobbying disclosure by expanding its scope and disclosing the expanded policy which includes: Annual disclosure of information regarding our membership in U.S.-based industry and trade associations Annual dues the Company paid to these trade associations The percentage each trade association has indicated to us was used for lobbying activities The Company continues to be recognized as a leader in political disclosure and practices In 2020 and 2019, the Center for Political Accountability's Zicklin Index of Corporate Political Disclosure and Accountability ranked Disney among the First Tier of S&P 500 companies ■ Disclosure of payments to trade associations are bucketed by contribution increment levels in order to provide a more granular level of detail to shareholders In January, the Company committed not to make political contributions in 2021 to members of Congress who objected to certification of state electoral college votes immediately following violence associated with the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol Shareholders have not expressed support for this proposal, despite appearing on our ballot multiple consecutive years This is the sixth year this proposal has been submitted; it has continuously failed to obtain majority support https://www.thewaltdisneycompany.com/about/#policies Sources of Policies and Additional Policies https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/app/uploads/2020/07/Political-Disclosure-Archive-2020.pdf https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/app/uploads/2020/07/Political-Giving-and-Participation-in-the-Formulation-of-Public-Policy-2020.pdf https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/app/uploads/2020/07/2019 US-Trade-Associations.pdf 14#15Shareholder Proposal on the Inclusion of Non-Management Employees on Director Nominee Candidate Lists is Unnecessary and Would Undermine Independence The Board recommends that you vote AGAINST this proposal as the Governance and Nominating Committee's thorough process of evaluating potential director candidates already ensures a diversity of perspectives, and the addition of non- management employees would decrease the level of independence on the Board W Shareholder proposal: Requests the initial list of candidates from which new director nominees are chosen to include non- management employees The Governance and Nominating Committee follows a thorough process of evaluating potential director candidates to ensure diversity of perspectives The Committee's criteria takes into account a variety of factors, including the range of talents, experiences and skills to reflect the diversity of the Company's shareholders, employees, customers and communities The proposal would supersede the careful judgement of the Board as to the criteria that should be reflected in a director candidate pool and undermine the Committee's flexibility, which is particularly important in light of the scope and complexity of the business A substantial majority of independent Directors has always been an important policy of the Board of Directors Non-management employee directors would decrease the proportion of independent Directors and thereby make it more challenging for the Company to meet applicable NYSE Listed Company Rules and SEC rules The proposal would also decrease the proportion of external, independent perspectives on the Board The proposal is misleadingly couched in terms of achieving greater diversity At present, the Company's current Board already offers diverse skillsets and professional backgrounds, as well as gender and ethnic and racial diversity Sources of Policies and Additional Policies https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/about/#policies https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/app/uploads/2020/02/Corporate-Governance-Guidelines-2020.pdf 15#16Cautionary Note on Forward Looking Statements Certain statements in this communication may constitute "forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
