Yahoo Slaps Down Microsoft Offer


Says that offer "massively undervalues" Yahoo

Breaking ... According to reports Yahoo has rejected Microsoft's $44.6 billion offer and plans to write a letter to Microsoft on Monday outlining its objections.

The Wall Street Journal reports that a Yahoo source says that the Board felt that Microsoft was trying to "steal" the company. The same source stated that Yahoo wouldn't consider an offer below $40 per share which would cost Microsoft another $12 billion.

This rejection is likely to spark shareholder lawsuits if Yahoo's stock price plummets back down to pre-offer levels.

I don't understand why this is likely to spark shareholder lawsuits?

Read this topic.

Lawsuits already started.  http://snipurl.com/1zl33

Morons at Yahoo.

May the shareholder lawsuits start to rain and Yahoo's stock plummet down to 0 for morons!

It still means Yahoo! is

It still means Yahoo! is interested. Only factor is valuation. That's bargain.

It doesn't mean Yahoo is

It doesn't mean Yahoo is interested. It means they haven't rejected the offer outright. There is a difference.
