Billionaire American financier Carl Icahn isn’t pleased that Yahoo didn’t accept Microsoft’s unsolicited offer to buy the company, even after a protracted and surprisingly public courtship dance. He’s so upset, in fact, that he’s sent a letter to Yahoo’s chairman Roy Bostock that he has formed a 10-member group that he hopes to install on Yahoo’s board of directors, who will in turn push the company to accept a Microsoft takeover at $33 per share.
Icahn also says he has acquired 59 million shares of the company, is seeking antitrust approval from the FTC to acquire another $2.5 billion in Yahoo stock.
