Source: Branchez-vous If the number of players (and spectators) of the Internet market welcomed the decision of the board of Yahoo to oppose its acquisition by Microsoft, the decision has not made everyone happy. Of course, MS was itself angry to be rebuffed, and Bill Gates was forced to take the floor to say that his company did not need to absorb Yahoo to see a good future.
But another attack could pose serious problems to the search engine. It comes from two American pension funds who blame (the board of) Yahoo for having failed in its duty by refusing this windfall (or at least refusing to offer it to the shareholders). To get a quick deal, Microsoft had proposed a value of $ 31, well above the market cost which was then $ 20.
However, the sole purpose of pension funds is to build wealth for their members, in order to guarantee their pensions. If they manage to get a judgment against Yahoo, they put the company in an even more precarious position, making its ambitions of independence even more difficult. PS: the share price of yahoo jumped to $30 after microsoft's offer.
