Google Will Provide Financial Assistance To YAHOO Acquirers &Nbsp; No Participation In The Acquisition.
According to foreign media reports,
The company is currently considering offering a company or consortium to acquire YAHOO.
Financial assistance
。
The news said Google might choose not to participate in the takeover, and has not yet had serious negotiations with the possible acquirers.
Partly due to the leadership of former CEO Carol Batz (Carol Bartz),
YAHOO
Unable to catch up with the pace of Google in the Internet advertising market, after the dismissal of Bartz in September this year, YAHOO's board of directors is currently making strategic choices for the company.
Assessment
。
Greg Stirling, an analyst at Opus Research, an American market research firm, said that Google, which is being scrutinize by governments around the world, is likely to provide financial support to YAHOO's acquirers in order to retain YAHOO as its competitor and support the competition in the Internet industry. Greg, Sterling
Stirling said, "if the competition goes away, the detailed investigation of the antimonopoly regulatory authorities will be further strengthened, and all the claims that Google has become a monopoly power will become a reality."
At the end of the third quarter, Google held cash and short-term investments totaling $42 billion 600 million.
According to sources, Google's current consideration is to provide financial support to the acquirers, rather than trying to buy YAHOO completely.
Inspection by the Federal Trade Commission
In its June report to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Google said the Federal Trade Commission has begun checking Google's business practices, including search and advertising.
In addition, EU antitrust agencies, the European Commission and the US state of Texas have begun investigating Google's dominance in the search and advertising market.
Stirling says Google provides financial support to potential buyers of YAHOO, similar to Microsoft's $150 million investment to rival Apple in 1997 to retain the competitive power of the computer market.
In addition, if Google intervened in the acquisition of YAHOO's paction, it will certainly be scrutinized by the antimonopoly regulatory authorities.
Google had previously hoped to cooperate with YAHOO in the search advertising field, but due to the threat of US antitrust regulators, Google finally gave up the plan in 2008.
Up to now, Google and YAHOO spokesmen have not set a date for this report.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that Google has contacted at least two private equity companies to discuss the joint acquisition of YAHOO's core business.
Many private companies are considering purchasing YAHOO.
According to Friday's closing price, YAHOO's market value has reached $20 billion 350 million.
Another source said that Microsoft was also considering the acquisition of YAHOO.
Stirling said that it was Microsoft who joined in the acquisition of YAHOO, which may have led Google to decide to provide financial assistance to YAHOO or its consortium.
Alibaba interest
Alibaba group has said that it is "very interested" in acquiring YAHOO.
Through the acquisition of YAHOO, Alibaba group can also buy YAHOO's current holdings of 43% of the company's shares.
YAHOO is currently the largest shareholder of Alibaba group.
Earlier this month, sources revealed that KKR & Co. and Blackstone Group are currently evaluating YAHOO.
Alibaba group will jointly purchase YAHOO with private company, Silver Lake and Russian Internet investment company DST.
In addition, Peter Cherni, former president and chief operating officer of news group, and Peter Chernin, together with Providence Equity Partners, may also participate in YAHOO's acquisition.
According to sources, Google's advertisers will be able to buy ads on YAHOO's website through Google's Invite Media service after Google's acquisition of YAHOO.
