Copyrighted Image? DMCA | The Wall Street Journal, citing an unnamed source familiar with the matter, says Google and prospective partners have held early-stage discussions, but haven't assembled a formal proposal for Yahoo, and it may result in nothing.
Last week, The Wall Street Journal reported that Microsoft was putting together a bid for Yahoo with Silver Lake Partners, a private equity firm that has purchased stakes in Skype, Seagate Technology, and Avaya. According to The Associated Press, companies looking to acquire Yahoo include Alibaba, of which Yahoo owns a 43 percent stake, as well as Microsoft, which offered to buy Yahoo for $47.5 billion in 2008 before withdrawing the bid. |
