Icahn Seeks a Seat on Blockbuster Board

Billionaire investor Carl Icahn nominated himself and two other people to the board of Dallas-based Blockbuster Inc., where he is the largest shareholder. Icahn had said he would nominate directors because management needed to curb spending.

Icahn nominated music executive Strauss Zelnick and former Warner Bros. executive Edward Bleier. Shareholders will vote on the three at Blockbuster’s annual meeting in May.
