Yahoo! changed hands: agreement with Verizon for $ 4.8 billion
After weeks of negotiations, the announcement day is expected. strategic annexation to the colossus of TLC, who hopes to break the duopoly of Google and Facebook in online advertising
The operation Verizon-Yahoo! it is done. The American giant of the TLC has reached an agreement for the acquisition of the pioneer group of Silicon Valley for a figure that – according to the agency Bloomberg sources – should reach about $ 4.8 billion. Unless sensational surprises the announcement will be made during the day, before the Wall Street commences the trading week. It’s been days that there was talk of the final stages in the direct negotiations started between the two groups, and the last problem to solve was their understanding on the price. To be acquired by Verizon will be the core activities of Internet Yahoo !, and the agreement should also include – again according to Bloomberg – real estate assets of the group Sunnyvale. While the assets related to patents should be sold separately.
The agreement thus puts an end to months of speculation about the fate of Yahoo !, went from a golden season in which he was the absolute star of the world of the web at a slow and lingering death which even at Marissa Mayer , hired in 2012, he managed to stop, despite numerous attempts to revolutionize and revitalize the company. Eventually Verizon has beaten off competition from all other potential buyers. The last round for the submission of bids was completed on July 19 and, in addition to Verizon, had come forward companies like AT & T, Vector Capital Management, the private equity fund TPG Capital and a consortium led Dan Gilbert, the number one of Quicken Loans, backed by Warren Buffett.
But in the match Verizon has earned the pole position right away. The US giant with a market capitalization of $ 210 billion and about 5 billion, has the financial strength of cash dollars to win the game Yahoo !, which is important for an annexation growth plans Verizon decided to break the duopoly of Google and Facebook in online advertising revenue.
So the giant TLC was done immediately forward earlier this year when the CEO of Yahoo! Marissa Mayer – after holding at bay for years the discontent of shareholders for the bad results the company – announced its intention to explore strategic alternatives, including the sale of the main Internet business. Mayer was forced to yield to investor pressure after repeated thoughts on spin off the stake in Alibaba and a number of stimulus packages that have not been successful.
Former veteran of Google, on his arrival Mayer in 2012 was greeted with great enthusiasm, regarded as the turning point for Yahoo !. But expectations were dashed, make up to the shareholders so impatient as to increase the pressure on the leaders until the start of the sales process. Many had also asked to Mayer’s head. And so far he managed to resist, now the change of ownership will result most likely in one of his immediate exit and overall changing of the guard at the top.
