"According to a Form 4 filed with the SEC on Thursday, Disney CEO Robert Iger received as part of his new position on Apple's board of directors 142 restricted shares that vest next February," Philip Elmer-DeWitt reports for Fortune.

P.E.D. reports, "It was Iger who engineered the 2006 acquisition of Pixar that made Steve Jobs Disney's single largest shareholder.
