20 billion flying microsoft offer rumors yahoo
gadgetopia is one of many who wrote to tell us about the many rumors flying around that Microsoft may be aiming another deal at Yahoo, this time for $20 billion. The story was apparently originally broken by the UK-based site Times Online, and contained lots of details about the supposed deal. Since then, Ross Levinsohn, reported to be part of the new management team, has denied there is any truth to these rumors, leading to questions about where all of this supposed information came from. Yahoo has declined to comment officially.

jon miller kung fu aol.jpgThe Times of London reports the details of an intricate pending Microsoft-Yahoo deal, in which Microsoft would buy Yahoo's search business for $20 billion and install Jon Miller and Ross Levinsohn to run the company. The concept sounds reasonable (Microsoft buying Yahoo search), but the price sounds ridiculous (Yahoo's whole market cap right now is about $15 billion). And a key player in the drama, Ross Levinsohn, says the whole thing is a crock.

Microsoft is preparing a bid worth USD 20 billion for Yahoo!'s search business, reports the UK's Times. The proposal forms the centrepiece of a complex transaction that would see Microsoft support a new management team to take control of Yahoo!, the paper said without naming its sources. Jonathan Miller, ex-chairman and chief executive of AOL, and Ross Levinsohn, a former president of Fox Interactive Media, have been lined up to lead the new management team. Senior directors at Microsoft and Yahoo are understood to have agreed the broad terms of a deal, according to the paper. Under the terms of the proposed transaction, Microsoft would provide a USD 5 billion facility to the Miller and Levinsohn management team. The duo would raise an additional USD 5 billion from external investors.

imageYahoo (NSDQ: YHOO) investor Ivory Investment Management went public today with a plea to the board to sell the search business to Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) for what it estimates could be $15 billion upfront. MarketWatch reports that Ivory, which owns a 1.5 percent stake in Yahoo, issued an open letter to the board urging it to salvage the deal with Microsoft “and not miss another value maximization opportunity.” Ivory’s proposal sounds familiar: sell search to Microsoft and then make Microsoft Yahoo’s search partner. From the letter: “We believe a search deal with Microsoft could deliver value to Yahoo shareholders of $24-29 per share, or more than double yesterday’s closing price of $12.19.”

After the messy breakup between Microsoft and Yahoo, most observers never expected the two to get back together. But after a brief rebound fling with Google that eventually went sour, it seems as if Yahoo has been driven back into the comforting arms of Microsoft—at least according to the latest rumors. Over the weekend, news leaked that Microsoft was in new talks to buy Yahoo's search business for $20 billion, but the two companies aren't ready to discuss any possible deal just yet.

NEW YORK (Agencies): Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer said Friday the US software giant remained interested in acquiring Yahoo's search business and would rather do a deal "sooner than later." "I think a search deal makes great sense for Microsoft, and Yahoo," Ballmer said in an interview published in the online edition of The Wall Street Journal. "I think I've been very open about that." "I think good ideas are usually better done quickly than slowly, so it would probably be better for both us, and certainly for Yahoo, if we were to do it sooner than later," he said. "But at the end of the day, that would have be something Yahoo would be as interested in as I have expressed our interest." Asked by the newspaper whether the Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft and Sunnyvale, California-based Yahoo were in talks, Ballmer replied: "Th

In the wake of that failed Yahoo takeover bid, Ballmer on Thursday sent out this memo to the troops heralding his successful talent raid of Dr. Qi Lu from Yahoo, where Lu was Executive Vice President of Engineering for the Search and Advertising Technology Group.
