Economy , OPA

June 17, 2008

Although he has spent time in the news, I think it should finish what you start, and since at the time spoke of the bid that Microsoft had made to Yahoo! think it's necessary to comment on the news although they have already happened makes a time.

What happened after Microsoft Microsoft launched the takeover was that Yahoo! rejected . Although it did not stop there, far from being intimidated and Microsoft, launched a new offensive in which he implied that if they failed to prosper friendly negotiations employ other strategies less ethical, and by the time that was that.

And finally the end came, as after a meeting between Jerry Yang and David Filo (Co-founder of Yahoo! and CEO'S of it) with Steve Ballmer (President and CEO of Microsoft) and Kevin Johnson (vice president of Worldwide Sales Marketing and Services Microsoft), in which Microsoft has increased its initial offer to $ 33 per share. Although the minimum amount required by Yahoo! was $ 37 per share, so it was impossible to reach agreement, and Microsoft has finally given up and done with Yahoo! rejected by the OPA conducted .

But while Microsoft takeover - Yahoo! seems to have ended, a new movement has given new prominence in the market at Yahoo!, and indirectly, probably is causing a headache for Microsoft, but we will discuss in another post. ah, well, I have not said, who has been the cause of such a movement? indeed: Google
