    WALT Disney shareholders rejected an executive compensation plan that could reward chief executive officer Bob Iger with up to US$48.5 million a year over four years, plus an equity grant worth about US$100 million, in a non-binding vote on Thursday.

    The total compensation is tied to the closing of Disney's planned US$52.4 billion acquisition of film and TV assets from Twenty-First Century Fox and meeting performance targets.
