Report: Microsoft to seek to replace Yahoo board | |
|
||
| Time: 00:12 EST/05:12 GMT | News Source: Seattle PI | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

Microsoft appears to be ratcheting up the pressure in its Yahoo takeover attempt. The New York Times, citing people briefed on the matter, reports this morning that the company is preparing to launch a proxy fight to replace Yahoo's board of directors, unless Yahoo enters talks. That has been one of the options available to Microsoft following Yahoo's statement last week that it believed Microsoft's offer undervalued the company. In an interview with The Associated Press, Bill Gates reiterated Microsoft's hard line on the possibility of raising the Yahoo bid. "We sent them a letter and said we think that's a fair offer. There's nothing that's gone on other than us stating that," Gates said, according to the story. He added, "They should take a hard look at it." | ||

Who does Microsoft think they are??!
"How dare you not take our offer.. We want you and you will cave.. If not, then we'll kill you one way or another.." They do the same thing with software companies they buy up.. They make the offer once, if you don't take it, they'll reverse engineer your software, release it and then threaten you with IP infringement.. |

The market has this deal correct - it is bad for Microsoft, Microsoft's shareholders and Microsoft's employees. Since the announcement, Microsoft's stock has gone down about 4 points or the equivalent of the Yahoo! buyout of $40B.
Moreover, Yahoo! was becoming less and less profitable not more so. So, if Microsoft is successful in buying it, it will become less and less profitable as well. Not a good combination for it shareholders and employees. Speaking of employees, they get compensated, in part, by options on their company's stock. The Microsoft employees have been sitting on a pile of worthless stock options. They will become more so. Which will surely cause exoduses of said employees in time. This is a bad deal. Ballmer is a great operations executive, but financial acumen is not his strong suit. Ballmer, soon to be at the helm, should recognize that few tech stock combinations have turned out well. This is one of them. |
