Another open letter signed by Roy Bostock and Jerry Yang came into public sight today, but never fear - this one leaves behind some of the Yahoo-Icahn bickering, and instead, announces Yahoo's filing of its definitive proxy statement.
It may be safe to officially declare no love lost between Yahoo chairman of the board Roy Bostock and billionaire activist investor Carl Ichan. In fact, we may need Wilmer Valderrama to officiate as these guys play the dozens.
As Carl Icahn preps his proxy fight for Yahoo's board, he wants the company to eliminate the poison pill provision that pays employees lavishly if they leave Yahoo after a takeover.
It's a good news/try not to choke Jerry Yang situation for anyone eager to see the Microsoft-Yahoo mess resolved; a firm-looking date has been set for Yahoo's shareholder meeting, yet it's on the slightly faraway day of August 1st.
In the never-ending Yahoo-Microsoft mess, we might be getting somewhere; Carl Icahn has received a wave from the FTC. The billionaire can buy even more shares of Yahoo's stock and push his proxy fight forward.
Once again, Yahoo found a way to put off its pursuers, this time pushing back their scheduled annual meeting by several weeks.
Billionaire oilman and investor T. Boone Pickens told the world he followed Carl Icahn's Yahoo investment with a 10 million share buy.
Carl Icahn's threat to takeover Yahoo's board may have worked to get the two sides talking about a deal, though not the full-scale acquisition Microsoft first raised in January.
There haven't been any signs that Yahoo will make its employees work from within isolation tanks. That almost seems like the next logical step, though, as Jerry Yang has followed up Carl Icahn's critical words with yet another "all is well, stay on task" letter to Yahoo's troops.
Carl Icahn's hostile board takeover bid received a cold reception from Yahoo, which tried to justify why it rejected Microsoft's lucrative acquisition offer.
