Higher Offer by Microsoft Brings Yahoo to Table
Microsoft,which had threatened to abandon its bid or initiate am attempt to
oust Yahoo's board,has increased its offer "by several dollars," one of the
people said.
But a deal was still far from certain. A person involed in the discussion said
the chances of a friendly deal being reached were "still no better than
50-50."
The talks were an effort by Microsoft to reach a negotiated agreement and avert
the collapse of a blockbuster deal that could reshape competition on the
internet and give Microsoft more heft in its intensifying rivalry with Google
.The discussion represent a breakthrough after weeks behind-the-sences
maneuvering on both sides.
The higher bid came as Yahoo's borad was holding a two-day meeting. Exact terms
being discussed could not be learned, but accroding to the people involved in
the talk, Microsoft suggested it was willing to pay more than $33 a share.
Yahoo is still holding out for at least $37 a share, these people said. These
people were not authorized to speak publicy because the negotiations were
condfidential.
Spokenmen for Microsoft and Yahoo declined to comment.
The renewed discussions would explain the silence from Microsoft this week
after the passing of an April 26 decline it had imposed on Yahoo to reach a
negotiated merger. Microsoft had threatened to wage a proxy contest if Yahoo
did not meet deadline. A week has passed without an announcement from Microsoft
about how it intends to proceed.
