## Transcript

The Yahoo we know from the early days of the internet could be about to change. Insiders say Yahoo's board will use its annual meetings to consider selling off its web properties. It's not the online powerhouse it used to be but the company still has inertia on its side. Yahoo's core business is shrinking but it still represents some of the most visited services on the web Yahoo mail and Yahoo news, are collectively the third most visited site in the US, with 210 million visitors in October. The board is also expected to push forward plans to spin off its Alibaba stake, which at the moment, is worth some $ 32 billion, almost as much as the rest of Yahoo combined.

[ MUSIC ] But the IRS has declined to say ahead of time whether any spinoff deal would carry taxes and that's making active shareholders worried. They'd rather not see Alibaba [ UNKNOWN ] sold if it occurs billions of dollars in fees. It's also not clear what might happen to CEO Marissa Mayer, to spite the headlines. Yahoo! is going on four years of operation under her charge and while the company isn't really at risk of collapsing anymore, it's also not growing either. Yahoo! has made billions of dollars in acquisitions and media investment, but stock growth hasn't kept pace, at least not in the long term.

Rumors of imminent sales were enough to get Wall Street's attention, Yahoo! 's stock spiked in after hours trading on the news.
