Microsoft Corp. and Yahoo Inc. senior authorities met this week to talk about Microsoft's offer to obtain the Internet giant Company yahoo but were unsuccessful to determine any of their differences, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Microsoft executives had no interest to increase their cash-and-stock offer, and the Yahoo camp went on to say no to enter formal negotiations without a sickly bid, people known with the matter say. Yahoo's board discarded Microsoft's original bid in February, and Yahoo's senior executive might see no point in investment talks on the basis of that offer.
Microsoft's cash-and0stock offer was designated at $44.6 billion during Jan. 31, but a drop in the software maker's share price has decreased the value to about $42 billion, or $29.29 a share. On Thursday, Yahoo shares traded at $28.13 at 4 p.m. Nasdaq Stock Exchange composite trading.
