has decided not to sell its lookup corporation to Microsoft. a Yahoo statement issued June twelve: “today announced that discussions with Microsoft regarding a potential transaction — whether for an acquisition of all of Yahoo! or a partial acquisition — have concluded…. respect to an acquisition of Yahoo!’s search internet business alone that Microsoft had proposed, Yahoo!’s Board of Directors has determined, after careful evaluation,

At that meeting, Microsoft representatives stated unequivocally that Microsoft is not interested in pursuing an acquisition of all of Yahoo!, even at the price range it had previously suggested.” counter-statement is available yet yet from Microsoft. For the first time since Yahoo-Microsoft negotiations became public this year, Yahoo beat Microsoft out of the gate with a PR statement. Here’s Microsoft’s statement on the talks breaking down: the weeks since Microsoft withdrew its offer to acquire Yahoo!, the two companies have continued to discuss an alternative transaction that Microsoft believes would have delivered in excess of $33 per share to the Yahoo! shareholders. This partnership would ensure healthy competition in the marketplace,

Our alternative transaction remains available for discussion.” can’t say I’m surprised Yahoo determined not to market off just its lookup unit. Yahoo needs lookup to fuel the rest of its businesses. now what will Microsoft do to try to grow its lookup corporation? Suggestions? Thoughts? Wishful thinking? No. 2: A few hours after Yahoo announced talks with Microsoft were terminated, Yahoo unveiled an ad/search partnership with Google. I’d say it’s safe to say we now know one thing Microsoft will do next: I’d bet the Redmondians will be agitating (behind the scenes and/or publicly) to get the Yahoo-Google deal tabled by antitrust regulators.
