(Reuters) - Walt Disney appealed directly to shareholders in its battle with activist investor Nelson Peltz, publishing a point-by-point refutation of claims made by the head of Trian Fund Management on the company's Vote Disney website on Tuesday.

Disney cited nine examples where it disputed claims made by Peltz, who is attempting to gain two board seats, one for himself and another for ally and former Disney Chief Financial Officer Jay Rasulo.
