Acquisitions

Lupta dintre doi gigantic ne aminteste de timpuri mitice. Totusi, magia nu mai e vizibila si principala arma o reprezinta banii. Domnita la ananghie este Yahoo Inc pentru a carui mana se lupta Microsoft, liderul mondial in productia de software si calculatoare, si Google Inc, lider modial in publicitate si cautare online, infruntandu-si fortele. Revenind la realitate, Microsoft Corp, tocmai a primit o palma peste fata prin intermediul unei scrisori primita de la consiliul director al lui Yahoo. In ea se regaseste un refuz ferm sa vandal daca nu vor primi $45 de miliarde. Dupa 2 luni de razboi rece si tensiune problema a fost in sfarsit pus ape masa. Astfel ca cei doi rivali fie vor convinge domnita sa accepte de buna voi pe unu din ei, fie vor apela la actionarii Yahoo la intalnirea lor anuala, ducand razboiul pana in vara. Oferta originala a lui Microsoft a fost de $44.6 miliarde si directorul executiv Steven Ballmer a fixat ca data 26 Aprilie pentru Yahoo sa se decida. A mai amenintat ca va cobora oferta si va cere lui Yahoo sa-I inlocuiasca pe cei 10 directori care se opun preluarii. De cealalta parte, Presedintele Yahoo Roy Bostock si directorul executiv Jerry Yang i-au reprosat lui Ballmer ca nu avanseaza cu negocierea. Desi in Februarie oferta facuta de Microsoft era 62 de procente peste valuarea de pe piata a lui Yahoo, valoarea ofertei a scazut ca urmare a pierderii a 11 procente din pretul actiunilor care garanteaza jumatate din aceasta oferta. Insa si Yhaoo a pierdut 66 procente si analistii cred ca in ciuda atitudinii optimiste, situatia e gri si daca decizia va depinde de actionari, acestia ar putea sa o accepte. Domnita se lasa greu, dar daca asta va periclita posibilitatea de a primi chiar si banii oferiti pana acum? Nu plecati, urmeaza!
