Shareholders will vote on director nominees at Hasbro\u2019s annual meeting this spring.<\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n       Alta Fox, which says in the letter that it has spoken to Hasbro, noted that the company\u2019s stock price is lower than it was five years ago and has significantly trailed the broader market. Alta Fox believes Hasbro could double its valuation by spinning off the unit that houses the Dungeons &amp; Dragons business.<\/p>\n<p>Hasbro said in a statement it will review Alta Fox\u2019s nominees. It said it is excited to welcome its new chief executive officer, Chris Cocks, who previously led the unit housing Dungeons &amp; Dragons, known as Wizards of the Coast and Digital Gaming.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/hasbro-activist-begins-proxy-fight-urges-dungeons-dragons-spinoff-11645056001?mod=mktw&amp;mod=article_inline\" class=\"icon none\">An expanded version of this report appears on WSJ.com.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also popular on WSJ.com:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/as-omicron-recedes-people-head-back-to-work-census-data-show-11645044512?mod=mktw&amp;mod=article_inline\" class=\"icon none\">As omicron recedes, people head back to work, census data shows.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/how-to-check-your-uber-passenger-ratings-11645039027?mod=mktw&amp;mod=article_inline\" class=\"icon none\">How to check your Uber passenger ratings.<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"byline article__byline\">\n<p>    <span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author  hasMenu\" data-scrim='{\"type\":\"author\",\"header\":\"Cara Lombardo\",\"subhead\":\"The Wall Street Journal\",\"list\":[]}' itemscope itemprop=\"author\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\">\n<h4 itemprop=\"name\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cara_Lombardo\"><\/span>Cara Lombardo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
