Darth InSidious Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 Might not be up to them. MS is offering them significantly more per share than the stock is currently worth on its own. Investors might try to make Yahoo!'s manager's minds up for them. True. If the shareholders vote for a merger at the offered price, is there anything that the company execs can do? (That's not a rhetorical question, btw. )
Stream Posted February 3, 2008 Posted February 3, 2008 Didn't BT buyout Yahoo? or was that just the UK part of Yahoo? Anyway if Microsoft do take them over we can all get ready for everything Yahoo to crash every five minutes, be full of cack handed menus, cost a damn fortune and just generally make no sense whatsoever. --Stream
Char Ell Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 Seems like Microsoft is willing to pay quite a premium for a company that seems to be struggling. I guess that is what a company must do when a company can't convince the management of their takeover target to support their acquisition effort.
Tommycat Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 Meh Wouldn't affect me much. But as my wife uses Yahoo Mail, it might affect her. I remember how HotMail used to be... I miss that.
