Microsoft said it had proposed 31 dollars per share to Yahoo's board of directors, "representing a total equity value of approximately 44.6 billion dollars," the statement said. The offer represents a 62 percent premium above the closing price of Yahoo stock on Thursday, it said. It said Yahoo shareholders could elect to receive cash or a fixed number of shares of Microsoft stock, with its total offer consisting of one-half cash and one-half stock.
After word of layoffs at Yahoo!, disappointing revenue reported for Q4 of 2007, and plummeting stock prices, should Yahoo! become another acquisition for Microsoft? What do you think?
