    Cool Microsoft shareholders unhappy with Yahoo! deal

    Yay! I hope it never happens

    Microsoft Bid for Yahoo Drops To $29.50 a Share

    Henry Blodget | February 6, 200812:17 AM




    As Yahoo waits in vain for other bidders or deal alternatives to emerge, the dissatisfaction of Microsoft investors with the Yahoo bid has reduced the value of Microsoft's offer to $29.50 a share.

    Why?
    • The bid is half-cash / half-stock,
    • Microsoft's stock price has dropped about 10% since the offer was announced, and
    • the share exchange ratio is fixed at 0.9509 Yahoo shares per Microsoft share.
    Microsoft shareholders are already unhappy with the proposal--and they're only going to get more unhappy as the deal gets more expensive. The more unhappy they get, the more the stock will drop, and the more the stock drops, the more expensive the deal will get, and so on..

    Yahoo has not reached a decision about Microsoft’s acquisition offer and is considering “a wide range of potential strategic alternatives,” Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang said in an e-mail to employees on Wednesday.

    In the e-mail, which was addressed to “yahoos” and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Yang said the Yahoo board is still reviewing the deal and will “take the time it needs to do it right.”

    “Our board is thoughtfully evaluating a wide range of potential strategic alternatives in what is a complex and evolving landscape,” he wrote in the e-mail, typed in all lowercase letters.
