SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 6 (Reuters) - Yahoo Chief
Executive Jerry Yang told employees in an e-mail that no
decision has been made about Microsoft Corp's bid to
buy the company for $44.6 billion.
Yang said in the message, which was filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission, the Yahoo board is
evaluating various potential strategic alternatives and has
hired "top advisors" to assist it through the process.
The e-mail, addressed to "yahoos" and written in lower case
letters, said: "as we've said, no decision has been made about
microsoft's proposal. our board is thoughtfully evaluating a
wide range of potential strategic alternatives in what is a
complex and evolving landscape."
