Microsoft has made an official proposal<\/a><\/strong> to acquire Yahoo!<\/strong> for the sum of $44.6 Billion<\/strong> in cash and stock at a price of $31 per share which represents a 62 percent premium for shareholders.<\/p>\n

\"Microsoft<\/p>\n

Here’s a quote from the official Microsoft <\/strong>press release :<\/p>\n

Microsoft Corp.<\/strong> (NASDAQ:MSFT) today announced that it has made a proposal to the Yahoo! Inc.<\/strong> (NASDAQ:YHOO) Board of Directors to acquire all the outstanding shares of Yahoo!<\/strong> common stock for per share consideration of $31 representing a total equity value of approximately $44.6 billion. Microsoft\u2019s proposal would allow the Yahoo!<\/strong> shareholders to elect to receive cash or a fixed number of shares of Microsoft common stock, with the total consideration payable to Yahoo!<\/strong> shareholders consisting of one-half cash and one-half Microsoft <\/strong>common stock. The offer represents a 62 percent premium above the closing price of Yahoo! common stock on Jan. 31, 2008.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cWe have great respect for Yahoo!<\/strong>, and together we can offer an increasingly exciting set of solutions for consumers, publishers and advertisers while becoming better positioned to compete in the online services market,\u201d said Steve Ballmer<\/strong>, chief executive officer of Microsoft<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The official press release from Yahoo! confirms the offer, though it doesn’t offer many details :<\/p>\n

Yahoo! Inc.<\/strong> (Nasdaq:YHOO), a leading global Internet company, today said that it has received an unsolicited proposal from Microsoft<\/strong> to acquire the Company. The Company said that its Board of Directors will evaluate this proposal carefully and promptly in the context of Yahoo!<\/strong>\u2019s strategic plans and pursue the best course of action to maximize long-term value for shareholders.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is not the first time Microsoft<\/strong> makes an offer to buy Yahoo!<\/strong> a similar offer was put on the table in May 2007. The motivation behind this seems to be obvious, a power-play against the rival Google<\/strong>, who, let’s face it is beating both companies (n.r Microsoft <\/strong>and Yahoo!<\/strong>) in multiple fields. If that is the fact or not we’ll find out in time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
