Scandalous Details Revealed, But YHOO-MSFT-GOOG Dynamic Remains Intact
About the video:
Documents unsealed Monday evening reveal some sexy details on the process inside Yahoo, but probably don't change the dynamic with Microsoft, Carl Icahn -- or Google, for that matter.
Among the highlights:
* Microsoft made a $40 per share bid for Yahoo in January 2007, but was rebuffed by then CEO Terry Semel.
• Microsoft went public with its 2008 bid after attempting another private transaction and coming to the conclusion that Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang was adamantly opposed to selling.
• Yahoo's own compensation advisor thought the employee retention package adopted in the wake of Microsoft's 2008 bid was "nuts," and even Yahoo CTO Ari Balogh thought it went too far.
