Hostile takeover bid from Microsoft on Yahoo!

Offering Microsoft on Yahoo! may soon take on the characteristics of hostile takeover, thereby giving reason than assumed by analysts of Wall Street in recent days. The indiscretion comes from
Wall Street Journal and the official nature of the 'action could come today, unless - as is regularly highlighted by the daily New York Microsoft decides to change strategy. The situation at the time of writing, is very fluid but on the fact that the Redmond giant wants to get their hands on the California company can not escape.

And that to achieve the objective, the road is that of a real hostile takeover bid by Microsoft going to propose the offer directly to shareholders of Yahoo! and that takes a position to oppose the reelection of 'current board, which is owned by Jerry Yang, at this point is more than likely.

Certainly within the next 48 hours something will happen, and here it is off balance he who personifies this better than anyone (including Bill Gates) the desire to conquer the American software giant, and that is Steve Ballmer. The CEO of Microsoft is very unbalanced in this matter and the feeling is that now wants to raise their voices only to acquisitions. Meanwhile, its employees (and secondarily to the media) has announced on Tuesday that an announcement regarding Yahoo! come very quickly. The hypothesis that Ballmer let go right now are very Rempt; Yahoo! is an "asset" vital to speed up the escalation Microsoft Olympus of the Web, because it has a dowry of advertisers and online services only. "Yahoo! - Thundered in the last hours Ballmer - is not the strategy but a part of the strategy and we are interested to pay for it at a certain level, beyond which we are not willing to go. "

According to some sources intercepted by the Wall Street Journal, however, in the room of the buttons of the Redmond company has also been suggested (two days ago) to raise the stakes from $ 31 to $ 33 until early February, although aware that Only one bid from 35/37 dollar could immediately close the game and bring down even the most bitter opponents of the climb. Ballmer, as we all know, is a completely different idea and $ 44 billion at the time proposed are the maximum that Microsoft is willing to put on the plate. And this is, in fact, that the paper of 'hostile takeover is the only card that the company can now play if you want to prevent the closure of' operation is to be too long. The ball is therefore in the hands of Microsoft and its next move is to the community financial decisive one and that will give a precise dimension to the takeover attempt number 207 started in the U.S. from January 2004 to date (summarized and detailed by the design developed by FacSet MergerMEtrics ).
