Yahoo! Board of Directors Says Microsoft's Proposal Substantially Undervalues Yahoo!

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb 11, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO), a leading global Internet company, today said the Yahoo!

After careful evaluation, the Board believes that Microsoft's proposal substantially undervalues Yahoo! including our global brand, large worldwide audience, significant recent investments in advertising platforms and future growth prospects, free cash flow and earnings potential, as well as our substantial unconsolidated investments.....
