Mouse & Marvel House Warming...

The date has been set for the vote on the merger/acquisition of Marvel by Disney...

The Walt Disney Company announced this week that a special meeting of stockholders is scheduled for 9 AM on December 31st.

"At this special meeting, stockholders will consider and vote on the adoption of the Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into by Marvel and The Walt Disney Company (“Disney”), which provides for a merger in which Marvel will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Disney."

Those that own Marvel (common) stock purchased by November 23, 2009 will be allowed to vote at the meeting which is held at the offices of Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker LLP in NYC. You know who they are, right? No? I guess you aren't a stockholder in the Mouse then. Come the close of 2009, the Might Marvel will reside in a new house and that place is going to have something cool to ring in the new year with.

And remember, it's only two years till Paramount's distribution deal with Marvel expires so any films after that are gonna have the Disney/Touchstone moniker...
