Over the past week I have been keeping the StepForth SEO Blog updated on the events focused on Microsoft's attempted acquisition of Yahoo and the fall out since. This is becoming quite a debacle so I thought a little chronological update on how all this went down might be useful.From 2006 to Now2006: Rumors abounded that Yahoo and Microsoft were in talks about working together and that an acquisition was possible. However, nothing substantial was revealed at the time but we later learned that Yahoo refused to work with Microsoft.May 4th, 2007: The rumor mill was working overtime that Microsoft was quietly trying to acquire Yahoo for $50 billion. I was elated :-)Jan 22, 2008: The New York Times reports that Yahoo is expected to layoff hundreds of staff in order to boost profitability and share prices.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Yahoo Inc on Monday rejected Microsoft Corp's unsolicited takeover bid, currently valued at $42 billion, as too low, saying its board had unanimously concluded it was not in the best interests of shareholders. In a statement, Yahoo said the offer "substantially undervalues" the company. Microsoft made the half-stock, half-cash offer on Feb. 1. It was originally worth $44.6 billion or $31 per share -- a 62 percent premium to Yahoo's stock price. Since then, Microsoft shares have fallen and the deal is now worth $41.8 billion. If completed, a merger of Microsoft and Yahoo would be the world's largest of two computer technology companies and would create a formidable rival to Internet search and advertising leader Google Inc.
LONDON (Reuters) - Yahoo is seeking to restart merger talks with AOL as a means of defending itself against an unsolicited bid approach from Microsoft, the Times newspaper said on Monday. The paper, without citing sources, said Yahoo was also considering tie-ups with groups such as Google and Disney. It said Yahoo and AOL had previously tried to join forces, but were unable to agree on the price of a deal. None of the parties mentioned could immediately be reached for comment.
By Anupreeta Das and Eric Auchard SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A dissident group of Yahoo Inc shareholders said on Sunday it had launched a campaign to sell their shares as a block, breaking ranks with Yahoo as it faces an unsolicited takeover bid from Microsoft Corp. Eric Jackson, leader of an outspoken group of 100 current and former Yahoo employees that own 2.1 million shares and call themselves "Yahoo Plan B," said his group was prepared to negotiate separately with Microsoft or any other bidder. "We have no desire to see Yahoo! continue independently with the current board and management team in place. We believe that is a recipe for a $17 stock price," Jackson wrote on his blog site, which can be found at http://tinyurl.com/3yglgz/. "Therefore, we will band together as a group and agree to sell our Yahoo! shares to the highest bidder," Jackson wrote. Jackson called on other investors to join the block. The 2.1 million shares he said he and h

Microsoft released the following official statement today in response to Yahoo's denial of the $44 bn dollar offer and I highlighted Microsoft's fully-expected overture towards a hostile takeover: It is unfortunate that Yahoo! has not embraced our full and fair proposal to combine our companies. Based on conversations with stakeholders of both companies, we are confident that moving forward promptly to consummate a transaction is in the best interests of all parties. We are offering shareholders superior value and the opportunity to participate in the upside of the combined company. The combination also offers an increasingly exciting set of solutions for consumers, publishers and advertisers while becoming better positioned to compete in the online services market. A Microsoft-Yahoo! combination will create a more effective company that would provide greater value and service to our customers. Furthermore, the combination will create a more competitive marketplace by establishing a
Over the weekend Bloomberg reports that Yahoo's board decided to reject Microsoft's offer of $44 bn because they felt their stock was substantially undervalued but they hinted they could be drawn back to the table with a more alluring offer."The board spent a week reviewing the $31-per-share offer before deciding it was too low. The statement didn't give a counter-proposal for the price. Yahoo wants at least $40, the Wall Street Journal reported this weekend." (source Bloomberg exclusive)Yahoo appears to be trying to save face since the offer Microsoft provided was given during a slump in their stock. It all smelled like a quasi-hostile takeover... after all, Yahoo shareholder's could not have been too happy with the web giant's declining value. That said, Yahoo CEO and Founder Jerry Yang is very protective of his baby and if he is going to sell out I am sure it will have to be for a price that he knows he can't say no to.Unfortunately Jerry Yang may not have a choice. According to a

In a bid to remain independent, Yahoo plans to reject Microsoft Corp.’s unsolicited takeover offer, according to reports on the Wall Street Journal’s web site.Quoting sources familiar with the situation, the Journal reports that Yahoo’s board feels the offer of $31 per share “massively undervalues” the company. A letter spelling out the position is expected to be sent Monday. Yahoo also expressed concern that Microsoft’s offer does not account for risks to Yahoo should the deal be overturned by regulators.The Journal source said the company would be unwilling to consider an offer below $40 per share, which would represent a $12 billion increase over Microsoft’s original $44.6 billion bid. It is unclear if Microsoft would be willing to increase its bid by such a significant amount.A Yahoo representative said the company would not comment on rumor or speculation and reiterated that the board is evaluating all its strategic options.The two companies have been in discussions
The Wall Street JournalBy MATTHEW KARNITSCHNIGFebruary 9, 2008 6:27 p.m.Yahoo Inc.'s board plans to reject Microsoft Corp.'s unsolicited $44.6 billion offer to acquire the Web giant, a person familiar with the situation says. After a series of meetings over the past week, Yahoo's board determined that the $31 per share offer "massively undervalues" Yahoo, the person said.It also doesn't account for the risks Yahoo would be taking by entering into an agreement that might be overturned by regulators. The board plans to send a letter to Microsoft Monday, spelling out its position.Read Karnitschnig's complete article HERE.

Technology behemoth Google is reportedly planning to scuttle Microsoft's plans to buy out Yahoo. According to the New York Times, Google mounted an unusually aggressive effort to prevent Microsoft from moving forward with its 44.6 billion dollar hostile bid for Yahoo. Google publicly came out against the deal, contending in a statement that the pairing, proposed by Microsoft on Friday in the form of a hostile offer, would pose threats to competition that need to be examined by policy makers around the world. Privately, Google, seeing the potential deal as a direct attack, went much further. Its chief executive, Eric E. Schmidt, placed a call to Yahoo’s chief, Jerry Yang, offering the company’s help in fending off Microsoft, possibly in the form of a partnership between the companies, people briefed on the call said. Google’s lobbyists in Washington have also begun plotting how it might present a case against the transaction to lawmakers, people briefed on the company&
One may call this a hostile bid, but it's good for Yahoo - for the valuation. If Yahoo agrees, it needs to cross shareholder and regulatory roadblocks. But even so, Microsoft and Yahoo together won't add up to becoming serious competition for market leader Google.This could be the mother of all tech mergers: a $44.6-billion bid by Microsoft for Yahoo, at 62 percent premium over the market price for Yahoo stocks.This mega-bid is of course an acknowledgement of Microsoft's failure to monetise its online presence, and of Google's unshakeable dominance. It is ironic that Microsoft of all companies is talking about the evils of monopoly and one-player dominance.Microsoft has been quoted has saying: "Today, the market is increasingly dominated by one player, who is consolidating its dominance through acquisition...together, Microsoft and Yahoo can offer a credible alternative."But despite Microsoft's $6 billion acquisition of digital marketing service and technology company aQuantive last ye

Microsoft y Yahoo se unirían para alcanzar a Google, líder del mercado publicitario en Internet. No sucede el mismo caso como algunos lo comparan al de la fusión entre las empresas chilenas Falabella y D&S, que tras un proceso que duró ocho meses, el Tribunal de la Libre Competencia haya rechazado recientemente el pedido de fusión; aunque si podría compararse en ambos casos la provocación de un desplome de las acciones.Mientras unos consideran escindir para que recuperen participación en el mercado (como Motorola, el tercer mayor fabricantes de celulares en el mundo), otros envían cartas para pretender erigirse en una única competencia. Si esto sucede, sería muy buena noticia para todos los editores de google, debido a que tendría una fuerte competencia. ¿Qué puede surgir de la unión de Microsoft y Yahoo?, leer en este enlace.

In a bid to halt Google's growing dominance online, Microsoft has offered to buy struggling Internet giant Yahoo for $44.6 billion, an acquisition that would unite the world's most influential software company with the Web's most-trafficked site.If approved by Yahoo's shareholders and by regulators, Microsoft's unsolicited offer would set up a titanic corporate struggle between Microsoft and Google for the patronage of millions of Internet users around the world.Microsoft sells the operating systems and Web browser used on the vast majority of the world's computers. It was once feared as a near-monopoly with unbounded power over personal computing. But the proposed deal tacitly acknowledges that the software giant has failed to reinvent itself as computing shifts more online; instead, it is trying to buy its way into a stronger position. The proposed acquisition would give Microsoft access to Yahoo's 137 million monthly visitors and long reach into the lives of consumers in the online

The rumors have been flying around for some time now over whether or not Microsoft will put in an offer for search Giant Yahoo. Many have speculated over the past few months as to if Microsoft would try for an acquisition, and if so, how much was it worth to them. This morning all speculation came to an end when Microsoft unexpectantly waved $44.6 Billion under Yahoo’s nose. Shortly after the announcement Yahoo Shares rose sharply by more than 50%, while Google shares took another 8% drop down to 515.90 by close of day Friday. The latest acquisition attempt, and what would be one of the largest in history, would put Microsoft in a position to actually compete with distant leader Google. In a conference call this morning Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer stated: “This is a decision we have – and I have – thought long and hard about,” Ballmer said. “We are confident it's the right path for Microsoft and Yahoo.” Last year Microsoft purchased online
