Hey, it's great to be having this conversation.

I called Disney and spoke to three departments while fact-finding. From notes I took, Disney has bought only 4 publicly held companies in the last 15 years (since 1996). They are ABC Broadcasting, Pixar, Marvel and the 10% stake in POWN. Those are the four public companies and details of the transactions are easy. Disney wanted all of the first three and bought 100% at one time. POWN is their only 10% partial position of a public company.

You say Disney historically increases its stake after one year and/or buys the rest of the co. Please name the companies and furnish details of their increased stakes positions after one year and the buyout prices.
