Yahoo/AOL Merger – F**k Off MS

Theres been some real drama going on between Yahoo and Microsoft lately. Here’s the story thus far:

  1. Microsoft tries to buyout Yahoo for $44.6 Billion.
  2. Yahoo rejects Microsofts offer
  3. Microsoft retailiates by threatening to take their case directly to Yahoos shareholders and even start a proxy battle in which they would elect another set of directors to Yahoo’s board of directors.
  4. Yahoo still rejects Microsofts offer.
  5. Yahoo closes in on a deal to buy AOL from TimeWarner, which would counter their declining shares.

We’ll see where it goes from here, but it certainly is an interesting story to follow.

 

  1. No trackbacks yet.
