In a news release, the company's incoming chief executive, Gregory B. Maffei, said the company was looking to participate actively in key shareholder votes and actions. But John C. Malone had hoped to get voting control of his shares while the proxy challenge was still on. Mr. Maffei said that the company was pleased with the steps taken by Time Warner, but looked forward to additional actions. A Time Warner spokesman said the deadline had now passed for shareholders to nominate board members for the company's annual meeting in May, as Carl C. Icahn had threatened to do in pursuit of a plan to break up the company.
