07:53 YHOO Yahoo!: Microsoft has signaled that it is willing to sweeten its previous offer for a partial buyout of Yahoo’s search business - CNET News.com (21.45 )
CNET News.com reports and you thought a deal between MSFT and Yahoo was over and done with? Not so fast. Microsoft has signaled that it is willing to sweeten its previous offer for a partial buyout of Yahoo’s search business, according to one major investor who has been in contact with both parties. After the termination of discussions with Microsoft less than two weeks ago, Yahoo’s board said in a statement that a sale leaving the co without an independent search business “would not be in the best interests of Yahoo stockholders.” But the source noted that several of Yahoo’s nine board members, including its chairman, Roy Bostock, have since indicated a willingness to hold further discussions with Microsoft on a possible deal to sell the search operations. “When Microsoft made its offer to acquire Yahoo’s search business, Yahoo rejected the offer outright. There was no negotiating beyond the ($9 bln offer) Microsoft was offering,” the source said… Meanwhile, rumors of an impending Yahoo reorganization–a big one that could come as early as this week–continue
