FAM: CFO Liddell says chance of full acquisition of Yahoo "essentially negligible"
Posted by Benjamin J. Romano
Microsoft Chief Financial Officer Chris Liddell just took the financial analysts here through another re-hash of Yahoo pursuit. He said the value of Yahoo has eroded since Microsoft made its acquisition offer in January. Going forward, he said, the chances of Microsoft buying all of Yahoo are so small as to be "essentially negligible." A search-only transaction is still a possibility.
