Says Icahn, in this statement issued by Yahoo: "While I continue to believe that the sale of the whole Company or the sale of its Search business in the right transaction must be given full consideration, I share the view that Yahoo!'s valuable collection of assets positions it well to continue expanding its online leadership and enhancing returns to stockholders."
As late as Friday, Yahoo had set up a Web site stating why Icahn's plan wasn't in the company's best interest and encouraging shareholders to re-elect its current board.Los Angeles Times, TechCrunch
