Yahoo Dumps Google

Post to Twitter Post to Facebook

Yahoo reported on Friday that on Tuesday of last week it unloaded 2.3 million shares of it's Google Inc. stock.

Yahoo dumped its Class A shares at $82.62 apiece and converted roughly another 1 million Class B common shares into Class A stock. The sell price was between $240 million to $259 million.

Yahoo had been awarded 2.7 million as part of the settlement of a pair of lawsuits. According to the AP, in exchange for the 2.7 million shares Google received a perpetual license to Yahoo's patent on matching online advertisements to search results. Yahoo also agreed to drop another lawsuit over warrants to purchase shares that Google granted it under a partnership signed in 2000.
